nine, twelve of a brood of sixteen
and now a brood of fourteen are all
affected with the same disease. The
disease starts as little hard warts
all about the head, around the eyes
and at the corners of their beaks.
These places grow large very fast
and in few days the little fellows
will get in a warm sunny place and
droop their wings as though they
had indigestion. The discharge from
their bowels looks very much like
oatmeal mixed with a little water
and dried in the sun. The first
brood were not out of their coop
until the grass was dry in the
morning and the second brood were
not cooped at all, both these lots
commencing to die when they were
about the size of robins. The third
brood are much smaller and as yet
have never been out of their coop
until the grass was dry in the
mornings I have been giving them
permanganate of potash in their
drinking water, have used carbolic
acid with oil and also full strength
creoline on, their heads and still
their heads grow worse. The feed
they have is dry, fine rice, corn
and oats ground together, ga corn
and IA oats by weight, pure water,
what green food they care for from
a large range. Thinking they have
not been getting what insects they
needed, the last brood for the past
ten days 1 have given a large
supply of our Cuban white ants. I
commenced to feed the ants before
the chickens showed any symptoms
of disease, but they have it as bad
as the other two broOds before then
Hoping you can help me to stop
and cure this disease, am yours
respectfully, Walter S. Miner.
ANSWER.
1 am glad to know that you sue

mites.
L feel confident the trouble with
your little chickens is sorehead.~
The most successful remedy for
this is: To one pint of raw Iinseed
oil add two OF. of full strength
carbolic acid, or make it strong
enough with carbolic acid to color
the warts black in ten hours after
it has been applied. You will have
to repeat this possibly two or three
times. To paint their heads with j..
iodine is also good, but is very Sc
we're. In addition to this, when
your little chickens are several
weeks old or when THIS trouble
first appears feed some EPSON salts
in their soft feed, say one table
spoonful to 20 to % three TO five
weeks old chickens. This should
be given every other day when it

mart dip to IS parts water, and will not
only kill the insects, but will kill all
the nits. If dipped during a warm
day it will certainly do the work
Nearly all late Matched chickens
have sorehead. This is one reason
why I never like to hatch any chick
ems during July and August, especially
IL they have to inhabit the same
premises that other chickens have
been occupying. Nearly every fall we
have more or less sorehead to con-
tend with. 1t does not hurt the early
batched chickens very much, but the
late Matched ones are the ones that
are usually lost. When 1t first appears
the best thing to do is to catch every
chicken on the place, old and young
and grease the head of each one with
q. solution of one pint of raw llnseed
oil TO which has been added two
ounces of carbolic acid. Usually three
applications of this will Kill 1t, but
the chickens that are not arected
should be treated the same as those
that are affected. Then they should
have in their soft feed one tablespoon
ful of salts to every 20 broilers or
frying size chickens, and on Friday
the same amount of sulphur should
be given. When it first appears, IL
this remedy has not been given reg
ularly every week, you should give
it every other day, but If you start
with it in June and continue through
October you are not likely to have
sorehead, except in a mild form. Gui-
meas have sorehead also, BIT do not
seem to be as subject to it as chick
ems.
If you will write to the advertisers
of incubators in The Journal and get
their catalogues you can select ma
chine from these advertisers. The
Daily and Sunday Journal carry the
ads regularly.
If hens are fed properly and are the
right kind, most of them will lay ev-
cry day for a given length of time.
1t shows that they do not get the
proper balance ration when they lay
every other day. They must have some
thing to complete the egg every day,
and if not, you cannot expect them.
My experience has always been that
I get about twice as many eggs from
hens that are kept in confinement as
those that are allowed to run out, es-
pecially if they are properly fed.

CAPONS

S several requests have come to
IN me recently to write an arti-
4 ~ Gle on capons, / will attempt
to do so, as it will soon be time to
do this work with the young chick
ems that have been Matched this
spring.
This work should be done when
the chickens are small fryers, and
the cockerels to be used for this can
be selected during May and June,
while the weather is pleasant. I
believe, with a few years of work
in this line, a good trade could be
built up for strictly first-class
capons for table use but whether or
not the people of this country
would be willing to pay the price
that it would actually cost to keep
and maintain these birds long
enough to get this is the question.
There are a few good livers who
would be willing to do so, and l be-
lieve a special trade could eventual
" be worked up, but it would take
some time, and the party attempt
ing it would probably not make
very much for a year or so. 1t re-

A small amount of plain lard or

put any kerosine or sulphur at all
