Mrs. w. M. Graham, Ferrobutte, Ga.
We have very fine penciled Indian
something like corns on the bottom
of its foot and joints of its toes.
The skin on the bottom of its foot
and joints OF its toes is very hard
and cracked, and is black, and 1t
cannot put one foot to the ground.
We have been using a solution of
an ounce of carbolic acid to one pint
of linseed oil and dioxygen on these
places. but it does not seem to be
doing any good. He has been in
this state for nearly week Would
appreciate it If you would give me
remedy to stop this trouble.
ANSWER.
When either chickens or ducks get
in the shape you state yours are in.
1T is best to remove them to a yard
or room where they will have soft
sand or straw to walk on. The best
thing you can do to take the sore
once per day, in a solution of one
part chloro naptholeum to 25 parts
water. Ducks often injure their feet
in this manner when staying on a
yard where there Is rock or gravel
1t would be best to change their
quarters

There is nothing much better

THE POUL TRY SHOW

T LAST the great Southern
N International Poultry show
4 N has come and gone. This
show has been one OF the most
remarkable ever conducted in the
United States, according to rec
ords from all standpoints. In the
first place this association is only
a few months less than year old,
and mas been compelled to make
a reputation for itself, and this is
something hard to do, similar to
any new concern entering into
business, but as Atlanta was never
known to do things halfway, this
association has been a great sue
cess in every respect.
Never before In the history OF
the south have SO many birds been
cooped under one roof by at least
500, Notwithstanding the claims
OF some that it has been done.
This is undoubtedly the largest
number that has ever been cooped
in any show room south of the
Ohio river, and to show that the
people OF this country appreciate
it, one would only have to attend
the show every day to see how At
Iantans and Georgians have APP
preciated this wonderful show,

cious cloth leaving Chicago in the

the evening.
A few years past seventeen days
would have been good time for the
trip across the United States. For
some classes of freight II is good time
now. The perfection Of what is known
as the preference freight" service
has made rapid movements OF this
kind possible. Instead OF tying up
$4,000 for a couple OF months, as
would have been necessary formerly,
the importer was able to put his
capital into action after two weeks
and half.

On the westbound schedule of this
