QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED.

forced. 1t is impossible to tell how
much any hundred hens will eat You
will have to be the judge of this and
feed them according to their appe-
titles, just what they will eat clean
twice day, in addition 10 the mash
food that is kept before them dry at
all times.
The best green food that can be
given chickens is green cut alfalfa.
or alfalfa hay. In the summer Swiss
chard or endive is best.
When hens get out of condition
the best thing to do is to separate
them and feed sparingly and physic
them out with good condition powders
or salts in the feed, and change their
feed to a certain extent.
Plenty of charcoal, sulphur, or vase
line is good to give internally in
cases of emergency and something
that will act quickly.
The best thing to do with chicken
that has a sneezing cold is to chop
the chickens head off and burn him;
and the same method should be used
with bad cases of roup. Sometimes,
when taken in time and the sleeping
quarters are changed, with perman-
ganate of potash in the drinking wa
ter, or Conkey's Roup cure, and the
mash food omitted and plenty of good,
sound grain given to the chick Ems, and
requiring them to take lots of exer-
else, you can cure them of colds or
roup without doctoring any Of them
individually.
white diarrhoea I do not think can
be cured, and if any of your fowls
have it you had best kill and burn
them ard start out anew. I have

and hope / never will.
The way to handle Indigestion is to
cut down their feed and make the
fowls take more exercise.
Good, clean sand and ashes are
all right for The dust bath for fowls.
The way to keep houses clear OF lice
or mites is to keep them whitewash-
ed and dlsinfected often and to have
them absolutely clean. The spray that
I use is one made by the Bovinger
Hardware company, and is the best
one on the market. They cost $40
and are worth their weight in gold
when it comes to whitewashing. 1t
is the only spray that l have ever
used that would whitewash thorough
ly, and that can be secured at
small cost. The only way to get in
sects off of hens is to dip them in
a solution of one part Bee Dee dip to
so to 70 parts wate- on a warm, sunny
day. 1t will not only kill the insects
on them, but will also kill the nits,
and thoroughly cleanse the chickens.
It is impossible to keep your hens
laying the year round. The only way
to get eggs the year round is to
have hens and p-lllets of different
ages and have them come into matur-
ity during different months of the
year AS a rule there are but few

1 have some young hens that are
very bad about eating their eggs
They are very fine and 1 would
like to keep them. viii you please
tell me of something that will
break them of this habit?
Respectfully,
MRS. E. c. SETTLE.
Rochelle, Ga.
ANSWER.
You can stop your hens from
eating eggs by placing several
china eggs in the pen where they
can see them. also place one OF
these eggs in each nest. Supply
them with plenty of oyster shell
and give them a variety of feed.
They will try to break the china
eggs and finding that they cannot
do so, they will not try to break
their own eggs afterwards. This
will break it up quicker than any
way I know of and is about the
only way that it can be done.

PART ii.

T is this extra per cent per acre
that plles up the profit in farm
ing at no more cost to cultivate
or to fertilize. The average crOpper
or tenant or the average farmer
who has these people living on his
place and depend on their welfare
for his own, are certainly losing
sight of making fifty per cent
profit or even more by seeing that
every cropper or tenant that either
the merchant or landlord is inter
ested in, should use nothing but
the very best seeu, even If they
have to buy and pay for out of
their own pockets. No money that
can be spent will pay better than
this investment. You should al
ways have the interest of the rent
err or cropper more at heart than
your own interest because their
success means the collecting of
your rent at the end of the year,
their paying their fertilizer and
supply bills and naturally if any
tenant prospers under the guild
ance of their landlord it makes
them better tenants and better
caretakers of his land. It also
makes it easier to keep a good
class of tenants on your place.

Subscriber. Statesboro. Ga: have
been very much benefited by your
articles in The Journal, and would
thank you very much if you would
tell me what causes so many eggs
to have ridges on them and to be
ill-shaped.
Also, will mites on little chick
ems cause great blisters on the
heads, closing their eyes, and in
most cases. killing them? l lost
all of my fall chickens in this way
after a few of my spring fowls had
had lsorehead and gotten well. Also
tell me how 1 can water, my little
chickens so that the hens will not
turn the water over and keep the
coops wet.
ANSWER.
There are different causes for
eggs having ridges on them. One
of the main causes of this trouble
is lack of exercise in your fowls.
If you will make your fowls take
exercise, this will do more to COR
rect the trouble than anything L
know Of Another reason for this
is that often the eggs will form
so rapidly that they will get push
ed against one another and will Of
ten be pressed out of shape, just
before it hardens, and hen being
overfat, and not taking exercise
enough to work off this overfat,
does not give space or room enough
for a large clutch of eggs I'm hens
system: therefore, a great many
bad formed eggs are produced in
this way. Usually a hen that lays
only a few eggs will lay nicely
formed, perfectly shaped egg.
Your little chickens evidently
had sorehead. The old ones that
ever have il once seldom ever have
it again, but as they were well.
and the young ones came along af-
terward, naturally they would have
it, especially at the season of the
year when it is prevalent during
the fall. L have had several arti-
cles on this subject, and am send
ing you a copy under another cover.
1t is fatal to young chickens, ea-
pecially in the fall, and will kill
most Of them. Usually the strong,
early-hatched do not suffer from
sorehead like the late Matched ones
do.
The best way to water your lit
tie chicks when in coops with hens
is to use galvanized watering
founts, which are sold oy all poul-
try dealers. They are not easily
turned over and the hen and chicks
can get water without wetting the
coop, and they will keep the water
clean. You can get these from any
seed house or poultry supply house
at about 25 cents for the small
size.

ANSWER.

To answer all of your questions
fully would fill a large sized book or
paper. The poultry business is a prop
osition within itself. There is no pos
tive set rules by which to be gov
erned. The most successful people in
the poultry business are those who
simply use ordinary good judgment
and common sense in taking care of
their fowls as no two people feed
exactly alike and no two flocks of
fowls eat exactly the same; therefore
one will have to be governed largely
by the surrounding conditions and by
the way I'm which they are situated
to take care of their chickens.
The proper feed for laying hens is
grain in the morning, scattered in
litter, so the chickens will have to
work for it-such as cracked corn,
wheat. white clipped oats and Kafir
corn with small amount of hemp
seed mixed therein. This. the follow
ing, should be fed on alternate days:
A mash feed. composed of boiled oats.
alfalfa meal, with a small amount of

Is my system Of feeding. I keep be-
fore them, in self-feeding hoppers.

MR.. TAFT ON THE RECALL

The arguments against the principle
underlying the recall of judges and the
recall of decisions" as presented by
President Taft make up a table some
thing like this:
1t lays the AK at the foot of the tree
of well ordered freedom.
1t subjects the guarantees of life, lib
erty and property, without remedy, to
the itful impulse of a temporary
majority of an electorate.
1t is a complete misunderstanding of
our form of government.
1t destroys all probability of consist
ency in constitutional Interpretation.
1t will amount to a temporary sus-
pension of the constitution to enable a
majority of the electorate to enforce a
popular but invalid act.
1t is a r~eactionary instead of a pro-
gressive proposal.
1t is not in the interest of all the
people or of the stability of popular
government.
1t will SOW the seeds of confusion and
tyranny.
Finally, there is no necessity for
such a crude, ntful, revolutionary and
unstable way of reversing judicial con
structions of the constitution.
In the judgment of the Evening Post
this list of objections is complete
enough to be made up in a campaign
handbook. Is not the entire Toledo
address to be printed and set forth for
the consideration of the voters?.Chi-

IN RE EGAN

Tom Roberts in the Pierre Dakotan
Of last week had the following to say
about Egan and the supreme court:
Geo. w. Egan in his speeches
is dramatically stating that he will
withdraw from the g~ubernational ace
and give any man $1,000 who will
prove that he ever acknowledge before
the supreme court that what he did
say about the supreme court was false.
Possibly he did not make the direct
statement but cringing and crawling
like a whipped cur, he appeared before
that tribunal and plead for r%einstate-
ment. If he did not acknowledge he
lied he came awful Gloss to iL. Here is
one paragraph in the petition filed with
the court showing how he proved him
self a demagogue:
That for all he has done and all he
has said and all he has printed, which
might be construed as rejecting upon
this court or any individual member of
it, he apologies, and in : o doing he
knows that he honors himself. That
he trusts his apology will be accepted
as the utterances of one who speaks
from a heart lightened by the fact that
it has been spoken. That in the use of
the term apologies he means it in
no restricted or limited, but in the
broadestsense; that he intends thereby
to and he does retract each and every
statement and charge that he has made
de~rogatory to the court, Individually and
collectively, whether the same was
such as to imply Partially, bias, cor
ruption, or incompetency, or to hold
any member thereof, or the court as a
whole, up to ridicule or contempt by
direct utterance, insinuations Or
innuendos."
