Yours truly,
S. A. JULIAN.
Abel, Ga, March IS. 1911.
ANSWER.
l had an article on feeding Indian
Runner Ducks some time ago in The
Journal. You should preserve these
articles Old ducks should be fed on
a mash composed of one part bran,
one part corn meal, and one part
shorts, and Is to 20 per cent of COM
mercial meat scraps. and should have
all the grain they will eat. They
will not produce an abundance of eggs
that are strong and fertile unless
they are supplied with considerable
green food. If you have not this,
steamed alfalfa will take the place Of
it, 1t is a good idea to give them at
least three or four feeds during the
week of soaked commercial scratch
feed containing cracked corn and
white oats, etc. They should have
plenty of shell, grit and charcoal at
all times. Keep them quiet and do not
let them be disturbed.

Very respectfully yours.
MRS. NJ.
Atlanta, Ca. March 81. 1911.
ANSWER
Sometimes hen will lay a few
small eggs, probably at the Begin
ming or the ending of the clutch OF
eggs that has formed in her system.
Usually, after a few have passed.
they will be of normal size again.
If you know positively, however,
that the hen lays these eggs regu-
larly (Which Is something unusuaD
and has not been profitable as a lay
'er, the best thing to do is to cut
her head off and eat her. She would
not be profitable to keep unless she
lays good eggs.

did to turn your chickens In. If 1t
is not too damp in this place, they
can have free access to 1t at all
times, but If so it might be well not
to let them In until the sun is well
up every morning, after the oats are
about 8 inches high, but don't let
them Craze the oats off too close, if
you wish them to continue to grow.
Mr.. Loring Brown:
Just a few days ago l purchased
secondhand incubator, and found
when it came to me that the packing
on which the eggs rest is very, very
soiled. Tell me if can remove this
and put in clean lint without lessen
ing the Matching properties?
Yours truly.
MRS. CHARLES E. TAYLOR.
Roanoke, Ala, March q, 1911
ANSWER.
You can remove the packing and put
in a new clean packing for the eggs
to rest on. 1t will not affect the
Matching qualities at all and should
be done, as it is very necessary that
the eggs should be kept in clean
machine.
Mr.. Loring Brown:
/ had Brown Leghorn hen that Il
supposed had the roup. 1 dipped her
head In a weak mixture of germazone
(the water was blood warm) A few
minutes later she commenced sneez-
ing and foaming at the mouth and
nostrils and few seconds later fiut-
tered and died.
What do you think was the imme-
date cause of her death?
Yours very truly,
w. A. S.
ANSWER.
You most likely had the dip too
strong when you put the hens head
in it, or she swallowed some of it
and probably got it in the wind pipe.
1t would have been better If you had
injected with an ordinary squirt CAM
this substance up each nostril. A very
small amount of it would have opened
her head and also killed the germs
which cause roup. Sometimes a hen
will become choked from being hand
led Especially if very faO and die
Immediately if not handled very care
fully. From the description given,
feel certain your hen was strangled
and that was the cause of her death
1 have dipped a great many myself
and 1 never had one killed yet
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1911-04-07
ANSWER.

I have stated. in reply to inquiries
in The Journal, a number of times
that ordinary Chin nest eggs placed
about the pen and used as nest eggs,
will stop hens from eating their own
eggs. They soon find that they can
not break these and will not try TO
break their own.

Mr.. Loring Brown:
Atlanta. Ga, March 2s. 1911.
ANSWER.

ANSWER.
From the description given OF the
male bird, he will be no good and
you might as well kill him.
The hen and chickens should be
kept in a coop at least a week, or
even longer if the weather is bad,
before they are allowed to run out
on free range.
A space Sx50 is sufficient for
cock and ten hens, if you have
good stratch pen either in the house
or in the yard.
1t makes no difference where you
