To the Editor Of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-For years I have attended and
done what I could In our local paper
to get the farmers Of my historic
county to attend our great State Fair
at Richmond. I took great interest in
the magnificent and wonderful prod
ucts of our fertile farms. but more in
the large number of promising young
men in their beautiful uniforms. there
from our State schools, our seed corn
and our dear old States hope for the
future. and as saw several Of these
last year nearSthe grandstand 50 dis
abled from the effects Of strong drink
that their comrades had to care Tor
them, I made up my mind that the
Christian people Of our State should
publicly enter their decided protest n
Opposition to the sale Of beer or
whiskey on the Fair Grounds
Our Baptist General Association At
NORFOLK last fall did this: several OF
our preachers from their pulpits In
Richmond have recently done this. and
president westmoreiand Davis and his
a Die corpe of directors remain as mum
as an oyster. II these gentlemen AL
low whiskey to be sold on our Fair
Grounds II will show they are more
interested In our dollars than In the
hshits and morals Of our boys and
young men, and I earnestly appear 90
every Christian man In our state 20
keep away from our great state Far.

The best way to feed little ducks
hueh uISl AdANnCu 10 O4A cloAC n6AN-
bread soaked in sweet milk and
squeezed dry enough to keep ii from
being sloppy, with some coarse sand
sprinkled on the berad and fed on
a plank or in little trough. After
they are a few days old you can grad
ually, by giving them. every other
meal, change them to a feed of equal
parts of bran, shorts and corn meal,
still giving the coarse grit; also mix
a little charcoal to the above mix
ture. BY the time they are ten days
old a small amount of prepared meat
scrap should be added to their feed.
They should be fed every three hours
just what they will eat up clean, and
should have water just before and
while eating. At the end of ten days
or two weeks they should have one
feed per day of commercial chick feed
which has been dampened and in adj
dition to this give them all the green
food they win eat, such as tender let
tuce, tender grass or fine cut al
falfa.
They should be kept with the hen
for two or three weeks or kept in a
brooder with a small amount of heat.
1t is all right to let them out on the
grass during the pretty part Of the
day, but the least you handle them
the better of they will be. The brood
er should have some ventilation, of
course, but they must have a certain
amount of warmth to enable them to
digest their food and grow as they
should, and If they do not get the
heat from the hen, then it must be
, supplied artihcially. 1t is all right
after they are three weeks old to take
the heat away but even then they
win grow faster with small amount
of heat. lr -

QUESTION.

Please answer the following ques-
ton and very much oblige:
Have chickens that seem to be af-
fected with Timber neck-I suppose
that is what it is called. The bid
dies affected seem to have fits at
times and their necks have a ten
dency to go back on their backs.
Chickens seem to be we'll except for
this This is not confined to the
biddies, but the older ones have 1T
also. p. e. CALLAHAN,
McRae, Ca
ANSWER.
The symptoms described in your
letter would indicate Timber neck,
which is nothing but ptomaine poi
son caused from the chickens get
ting something to eat which has de-
cayed. 1t is best to yard your
chickens for time at least and
give them nothing but clean food
and allow them to eat nothing ex-
cept what you give them. They
should be fed some Conkey's Timber
Neck Cure, which is one of the
safest and best remedies. The well
ones as well as those affected
should be given this medicine also.
They are evidently getting some
thing to eat which is causing this
poison.
