AGENTS

MESSENGERS:
On January 3. circular was issued
from this office calling your atten-
ton to the numerous claims arising
from the death of fancy poultry
while in transit over express lines.
We are now having complaints of
the rough handling of shipments of
eggs for Matching.
Shipments Of eggs in patented car
rfers. or in paper cartons, or how
ever prepared for shipment, must be
handled with such care as to insure
their reaching the hands of con-
signees without damage.
Many shipments Of eggs for hatch
ing are packed in paper packages
or paper cartons, and in hurried
transfers it is impossible to distin-
guish them from merchandise ship
ments. Therefore, to prevent the
breakage Of such shipments Of eggs
for Matching. it is necessary that all
shipments be handled as though they
were eggs for Matching.
Do not pitch, or throw, packages in
warehouses, offices or cars. This will
not be permitted, and any employee
caught pitching, or throwing, pack
ages, regardless of the character of
contents, will be dismissed from the
service.
Pitching packages is a bad habit
born Of laziness. An employee with the
right kind of stuff in him, and am
bition to succeed in the business, win
not allow himself to form this repre-
hensible habit.
Recently one of the best poultry
writer's in the state stated in a daily
letter to an Atlanta newspaper that
he has seen eXpressmen pitch eggs
for Matching into and out of cars in
a manner somewhat similar to a
farmer unloading corn from a wagon
into his crib. Yours truly,
H. NJ. SMITH,
Superintendent.

Statesboro, Gavin you please tell
me II the full blooded Barred Ply
mouth Rocks all lay yellow eggs with
brown specks on them? Does what
the hens eat have anything to do
with the color of the shells?
1 bought some Barred Plymouth
Rock hens in January and they have
laid very well, but most of them lay
perfectly white eggs. I am afraid
they are not the pare breed. They
have free access to lot and field, but
haven't anything green for them to
eat. Any information will certainly be
appreciated.
Thanking you in advance. I anx-
iously await your reply.
Yours very truly,
MRS. J. SMITH.

HOG CHOLERA
PART II.


18th this incubation given
wv twice year to every hog
that any large breeder has,
this loss can be kept down to a
minimum. But no man who has a
herd of hogs, either large or small
can afford to take any chances of
having a total loss than he could
by not having his house insured or
by not locking his front door in a
large city at nightfall.
Hog cholera is one of the things
that you never know when to ex-
pect or realize the terrible wrought
it will bring about until you are
through with it. Then it will GER
tainly wake you up and you will
think what a fool you have been
not to take advantage of what the
state and government has placed at
your disposal at practically no cost.
When hog cholera once appears in
a herd of hogs, no remedy yet dis
covered will save them, but the
proper thing to do is not to allow
yourself to be placed in a position
for this loss and take advantage of
the prescription in the shape of in
oculation and always be on the safe

Your little chickens evidently have
sapes which can be cured by giving
one teaspoonful of turpentine to Is

soft feed every day. They should al
ways be fed in a different place and
changed to a fresh run and feed them

TWO SUBSCRIBERS.
ANSWER.

There never was a bird that was
perfect and very few other things
that have ever been perfected.
Ninety-seven points is as high as 1
have ever heard of a bird scoring,
under reliable Judge and one who
knows how to apply the score card
and SO is the highest score have ever
placed on any bird, and 1t was some
time past when the standard was not
so rigid as it is at present. Any bird
that will score SO honest points by a
reliable Judge and the standard prop
erly applied in every section as it
should be, is usually considered an
extra good specimen and then they
have to be in the pink of condition.

ANSWER.

The green bone will take the
place of the commercial meat
scraps, but the more meat you can
get in your ducks without upset
ting their digestive organs, the
more eggs they will lay. 1t will
be a good idea to continue to give
5 to 10 per cent meat scraps IN
your soft feed. Ducks should
have about 20 per cent meat
scraps in their mash feed.

of my hens are covered with big
scaly substance. and then the bot
toms of their feet begin to swell.
Please let me hear from you at
once as to what / must do for her,
as she is a very valuable hen, and
I hate to lose her. She can walk,
but her feet are badly swollen.
Very truly,
MRS. BOB BERNER.
ANSWER.
If you will take one pint of lin
seed oil, add three ozs. of carbolic
acid to it, and grease your hens
legs with it twice "a week, it will
usually kill the parasite that
causes the scales and stop the
trouble. After you have treated
her four or five times. take some
warm water and an old tooth
brush, and you can usually remove
most of the scales. as they will be
soft, and with one more application
the germs will be killed and this
trouble will disappear. The roost
in your chicken house should be
painted with kerosene oil or a So

Occasionally a little chick will
hatch with the trouble you mention.
BY sticking a needle in his skin
and letting the air out, as often as
necessary, they will recover from It
without any bad effects. There is no
special reason that can be given for
such, or any special cure for same
outside of the above mentioned treat

ROMANCE OF
POOR COMPOSER

PARIS, April 13.-Are you getting
along in years and have you made a
failure of your life? Have the beau
tiful dreams of your youth dissolved
Hike a mirage, leaving you plodding
along over the barren wastes of "a
certain age?"
If you are one of this class do not
despair. There is lesson for you in
this romance of the poor musician,
who, in his fifties, after thirty years of
struggle and sacrifice had given up; of
an artist who had patiently turned
his face on everything that is beau
tiful and bent his back to the task of
keeping the wolf from the door behind
which a wife and several children
found shelter.
Picture tiny side street in Colom-
bes, suburb of Paris; a small cottage
with closed blinds; a gardenette at
the back, crisscrossed by clotheslines,
from which futtered weeks wash;
an atmosphere gray and sad. 1t is the

Pen MIGHTIER
THAN SWORD

TRIPOLI, April 13.-The pen has
again proved it's proverbial ability tc
put a crimp in the sword.
General Caneva, commander of the
Italian expidition in Tripoli, issued an
order recently forbidding the CORE
spondents to visit the trenches. The
correspondents held meeting, de-
clared not another line of war news
would be sent as long as the order re-
mained in force. Naturally there was
very little use of brave generals she'd
ding blood and doing deeds of valor
if the king, the queen, the ministers,
wives, sisters, sweethearts and the
public generally were not to read
blowing descriptions of them in the
papers.
AS consequence the strike of the
war correspondents lasted just "a
hours. Then they gave banquet to
the defeated generals, and war was
resumed in Tripoli.
