QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED.

a kind of Shiny water in the mouth
and throat. Now Twill thank you TO
tell me what is that trouble, and
remedy for same.
ANSWER:
1t is possible that the oats you were
feeding your chickens are not clipped
oats. The bedded oats will irritate
the intenstines of chickens and will
often kill them a few weeks after they
have had them. However, ordinary
oats and corn, unless fed in too great
quantities, should not hurt your chick
ems. It is possible that they have be-
come too fat and die from apoplexy,
or probably from drinking filthy wat
er. You should have cut her craw
open and made an examination. From
the slight description you have given,
I could not tell what the cause was,
but If any of the others have died, it
would be a good idea to yard them,
changing feed and general surround
ings, and it will stop the trouble most
likely.
Mr. Willie Martin. 277 Central avenue,
Atlanta.
AS 1 am a beginner (only Is years
old 1 would appreciate any advice you
can give me. What should feed little
chicks after they are three weeks old?
Is a lot t10x50 feet large enough for
II hens and a cockerel? Is 1t all right
to make hen set six weeks? Will
little chicks live that are Matched in
May. Will they sleep themselves to
death?
ANSWER.
After little chicks are three weeks
ola they can eat wheat. cracked corn,
or most any other good sound whole
some food. The variety that they will
enjoy is the thing to feed them
A lot 10x50 is plenty large for II
hens and one cockerel. 1t is all right
to make a hem set six weeks. 1 have
set them for nine weeks.
May Matched chicks will live if you
will keep the insects off of them.
b. M. Walton, College Park. Ga.
/ have just dipped my grown chick
ems in naphtholeum-1 pint to 10 gal
Ions of water-as you prescribed some
time ago. Now, want to dip my
young chicks as soon as they are old
enough. Please let me know through
The Journal how old they must be
before dipping and how strong the
mixture must be.
ANSWER.
After the little chicks are feathered,
or are small frying size, it win not
hurt to dip them on a warm day in
or black draught dip. but this should
be done in time for them to dry be-
fore night.

REPUBLICANS ARE COMING FOR FIGHT Future of Leaders Depends on Convention
  TAFT APPROVES PLAN State Convention Must Decide Wheth- CT Barker or Thompson Forces Are to Have the Up
 per Hand
TAFT APPROVES PLAN
By WALTER HARPER

Washington, July 7.-(Special.)-Ihe warning Alatama republicans in confer ence with the President today decided on q plan for the settlement of who is who in Alabama so far as the distribution of federal patronage is concerned.
 While no statement of the plan was given out from either side by agreement il is understood that a state convention will be called for September to elect a new chairman of the executive commit tee. The man who is elected chairman will share in the distribution or the states patronage with P. D. Barker, the national committeeman, who has recently had the full ear of the appointive powers at Washington on account of some dis agreement between the former Alabama referees.
 If J. O. Thompson is retained as chair man he will have right to claim part Of the patronage of the state in agree ment with MT. Barker. If he is retained, thereby securing the indorsement of the Alabama republicans. it will be considered a victory over the Barker influence in that it will have much weight at Wash ington, especially as national campaign is approaching.
 If Thompson is defeated for chairman by Pope Long, who is the Barker candi- date, MT. Thompson will be down and out so far as patronage is concerned, and Barker and Long will control the patron age.
 This plan, as it relieves the President of the responsibility of deciding between the Alabama contestants, is said 10 oe pleasing to the executive.
 Both Barker and Thompson stated at the close of the White House conference which lasted almost two hours. that they are pleased with the plan adopted, though they would not disclose the details.
 If is understood that the executive committee of the state will hold meet ing August 15 for the purpose of setting a date and making formal call for the convention. which will be in September The committee is not to make any recom- mendation for chairman. It will simply issue call and adjourn.
 Pope Long Is already in the race Tor chairman. He said today that he will make a vigorous campaign for the place. Mir Thompson's friends seem confident that they can re-elect MT. Thompson.
 In the White House conference it was agreed that the President should name J. IT. Mason as postmaster at Columbiana and the appointment was immediately sent to the Senate All other appoint ments in Alabama are to be held up un- til after the convention in September.
 There is nothing left now but fight, and both sides went home tonight ready for the fray.
