ANSWER.
The feed you are giving your ducks
is not the proper thing. You should
feed them equal parts of corn meal,
wheat bran and shorts, with some
coarse sand mixed in with this. They
should never have corn bread or bis
cult unless it has been soaked for
several hours. Corn meal alone is
also hard to digest and will give
them liver trouble.

Your chickens have roup. The
best thing you can do is to use
permanganate of potash in their
drinking water, and change their
sleeping quarters. Feed plenty Of
grain, and some good condition
powders once every day in their
soft mash. They should not sleep

OF BIRDS AFTER
RETURNING FROM SHOW

mr. ANY valuable birds are be-
fWN ing shipped TO and fro over
AZ II the country at the present
time for show purposes, and often
on their return these birds are
not properly cared for and many
of them catch cold or get out of
condition, and 1t is hard for them
to overcome this. BY little
careful attention at this time you
can avoid all this. A great many
people do not think about this,
and, as a rule, are so proud to
get them back, that they turn
them out in the open air or allow
them to stay out overnight during
a cold might, and the sudden
change out of the show room or
express car will often give the
birds a cold that they do not soon
recover. from. You should by
all means try to keep your birds,
for the first few days anyway, in
as comfortable condition as possi-
BILE, and put them in building
or house where they can be pro-
tected from cold draughts, and
gradually get them used to sud
den change, after their return
from the show.

ANSWER.

1t is impossible to tell what is
the matter with your chicken. A
good dose Of castor oil and vase
line would probably help her, or
some Conkey's liver medicine. 1t
is not likely that your other chick
ems will become contaminated. Oft
en- one chicken will get out of con-
dition, the same as person would,
and the others would not be affect
ed. However. it would not be a
bad idea to physic your chickens
out good with some condition pow
ders and EPSON salts or sulphur.
and see that they get nothing but
, sound, wholesome food, and plenty
of fresh water.

ems were Matched last spring but
are not laying, though they are
beautiful chickens. Can their diet

seems well otherwise.
ANSWER.
have mailed you formula for
feeding chickens. The one referred
to as sleeping continually is prob7
ably infested with insects. Exam
inc him and see. and if so dust him
good with insect powder. Very few
chickens are laying now. and 1T
takes the very best of, care to get
them in condition so they will lay.
The changeable weather has made
many chickens backward in laying
this season.
