Mrs. R., McRae. Ca
Please tell me how TO begin TO set
the incubator. when to put in the
eggs. how often to turn and cool
them, when to test them, and at the
last testing how to know whether
the chick is dead or alive2 How
should the embryo look IL properly
developed at the first testing, and
how can I tell later If II is dead or not,
so as not TO carry any bad eggs
on through the hatch?
At Matching time. how do you use
the wet cloth. and when2 My ex-
perience has been that all the best
chicks hatch out quickly, and the
others have TO be helped out DO
you use the wet cloth before the first
shower is over or after; and how
long do you keep it on? Do you adj

often help them too early and they
bleed and die How can ] tell when
they are ready to come out?
Some say not TO cool the eggs or
air them very much the first FIVE
days. Is this correct?
ANSWER.
your incubator has been heat
ed up and regulated so that it holds
the temperature OF 100 uniform for at
least "a hours, then IT is ready to
put the eggs into. They should not
be put IN until the incubator is
thoroughly regulated. After the eggs
have been placed in the machine.
and a thermometer set on top OF
them. il will usually register 100,
which is the right temperature in the
middle Of the eggs for the first few
days. Nearly every incubator sent
out has a hart showing the differ
ent stages OF development OF the
chick that is easy to learn, and usu-
ally after your first experience in
testing the eggs you can easily tell
the live germs or the dead ones. or
those that are weak. close OBJ
server, with a good tester, can easily
distinguish between these.
on the fifth day you can tell al
the good, strong germs, and on the
18th day the eggs should be tested
again. and on the 10th or 18th day
you should go over them the last
time. With a little experience on

ally it is not best to open the ma
chine after the 18th day. 1t should

your eggs are the same age, all y
those that are going to hatch WIN
do so inside of IL hours of each
other. Those that have not hatched
up to that time will not come ouq
unless the wet cloth is used. Thel
chickens should be removed, thos9
that have Matched, and placed in AM
other incubator, or a warm fiann9
covered box, and the damp clofln
should be applied to the other eggs
that are left in the machine anger

be taken of (unless it is probably
after s or 10 hours and becomes dry
then il should be wet again and
placed back again. The little chickens
will hatch under the cloth, and If you
remove it you destroy the moisture
which is the very thing you have
placed it in the machine for. Any
chicks that cannot get out them
selves, as rule, are not worth help
ing out. as they die in nine cases
out of ten. The first week the eggs
should not be cooled, except while
being turned. If the weather is warm
the second and third week. they
should have air so that the little
chicks can I'LL their lungs with fresh

you should watch the
pens very closely for a week or 10
days and see II the males and fe-
males are congenial. Often
male bird will take spite to fe-
male in the pen and will not al
low her to eat and will not mate

the female should be removed and
tried with another mating. Some
times. but only in rare cases, will
male bird fight or be mean to all
OF the females. In a case OF this
kind, il is best. to remove the
male bird and give him a free
range on the outside with a flock
OF hen. These things often occur
and the eggs viii be infertile from
such a pen, and often one cannot
understand why such is the case.
Another very important thing,
that is sadly neglected by nearly
every breeder, is the cutting of the
spurs on the male bird. All old
male birds that have long spurs
should have them sawed of every
year. This can be done with a
little inexpensive bracket saw,

What causes young chickens from 8
to months old to have crooked or
twisted backs, so that the tail will
turn to the right or to the left? Is
there any remedy for same? Please
answer through The Journal.
ANSWER.
Crooked or twisted backs in chickens
are usually caused from too-close
inbreedIng or from weak parent stock.
1t is also caused from hurts or from
hurts when little chickens in getting
through the Stats of a coop and in
juring their hips. Sometimes it is
caused from sleeping in crowded quar-
tiers, but, as a rule. 1t Is hereditary
and will come from weak parent
stock. There is no cure for 1t, and
any chicken with this trouble should
be discarded as breeders.

1t is natural for any hen, at times,
to pick up a piece Of straw in the
nest and place il on the back. I
suppose this is second nature with
them, as / can give no other reason
for -.elr doing so. Chickens of all
kinds like a secluded, quiet place in
which to lay their eggs and should
be provided with same, / suppose
that natural instinct from the
jungle fowl has something to do with
it, as all chickens are alike and have
the same habits. In the keeping of
my fowls. 1 keep shayings in the
nests, and will often notice hen
pick up a piece of these shavings and

Please answer the following ques-
tons:
Have you ever used cotton seed
meal in mashes for chickens? II SO,
in what proportions? Can 1t be used
as a substitute for linseed meal?
Where could get the gluten meal
mentioned in the Maine Experiment
Station Journal for dry mash?
Do you object to publishing your
formula for mash? What is your
schedule for feeding chickens. Do you
think the Corning method suited to
Georgia?
what books do you advise as the
best authority on chickens?
ANSWER.
have used cotton seed meal in
mashes for chickens, and find It very
beneficial, especially during the fall
Of the year. 1 usually mix about 10
per cent of my mash (by weight
with cotton seed meal, especially dur
ing the moulting season. l feed very
literally OF it during the other time.
1 think it is practically as GOOD as lin
seed meal for chickens. but it would
have to be used IN larger quanti-
ties.
Really, I do not think it is neces-
sary. Shorts, corn meal, bran, cot
ton seed meal ground alfalfa and
meat scrap, make a ration hard to
beat. and equally as good as those
used by the experiment stations.

]. ]. Pierce, Sharpsville, Pa.
have had four different breeds OF
chickens-Plymouth Rocks, White
Leghorns, White Wyandottes and
Black Orpingtons-and have observed
one peculiar habit true to the hens
Of all four of these breeds, i.e.,
when they go on the nest to lay or
set, they will pick up a piece or
swoA of the nest (straw, hay or ex-
celsior) and place it on their backs.
Am right in thinking this is an
evolutionary trait from the original
Jungle fowl, and do hens feel that
they are protected from observation
by brush. etc, when they have placed
these pieces on their backs?

Mrs. B. E. Hunter, AbbevilIe, Ca.
have a disease among my fowls
that I call Timber neck, or weak legs.
The fowls seem to be in perfect
health, and probably in two OF three
hours will be sitting down with their
heads dropped over and can hardly
stand on their feet Seem to be
weak in their knee joints. Will you
tell me the cause of the disease ana
what 1 should do for them2
ANSWER.
Your chickens have Timber neck,
and it is caused from eating putrid
matter or maggots, which has brought
on ptomain poison. The best thing
to do is to physic your chickens out
with EPSON salts and sulphur, given
in the feed OF water. Then mix some
turpentine. a teaspoonful to five
chickens, with corn meal dough and
force IL down their throat. Conkey's
Timber Neck Cure is also good; also
starined honey. Those that are not
too far gone can be cured.

#. Il. Allison, Auahtd,
Recently I p6trchased some Rhode
Island Red chickens, three pullets
and a cockerel, (which were Matched
Easter Sunday. Rhey have just COM
menced to lay. Y noticed when I
went home this hpoon that one of
them had either be en- hurt In some
way, or was tryind to lay, as she
had the egg still Hanging to her,
presumably in her egg bag. The egg
was perfectly whole. AS | am only
a beginner, / am at a loss what to
do. am going to try and take 1t
from her tonight. 1 amy inclined to
believe that she viii neTer be able
to hold her eggs in the future. VIII
this injure her forever? sShould the
part the egg was in draw. back up
in her, or will some of it staly out?
have been feeding mem WHOLE grain
corn the past two weeks exclusively,
as l noticed in The Journal You said
it would fatten them and get them
in better shape for the winter
have only a small place for them,
I2x25, and have IS chickens ain to-
gether. four Rhode Island Reds Aand
il White Leghorns, Do you THINK
this place Is too small for them?
ANSWER.
Occasionally a hen viii be affected
as you describe, but it is a rare caseN
AS rule they recover from 1t, but
Il leaves them in a weakened stage. I
You should apply vaseline, or insert
with a small syringe some sweet oil
to the affected parts, which will re-
lax them and possibly enable the hen
to release the egg. If this cannot be
done it is best to take a knife and
make an incision in the egg an rde-
lease the inside of the egg and the
shell will be easily broken and the
parts removed l have often done
this without injury. You should by
all means make your hens take more
exercise, and give them their feed
in a deep litter of straw of some
kind to make them take exercise. If
they are old hens, it is best not to
feed too much corn. 1t would also
be good idea to give them some
Epson salts in their soft feed. The
space you have is large enough, pro-
vided you make them take exercise.

w. d. MacGregor, McRae, Ga
I wish to construct a combination
hen and brooder house, after a plan
you published in The Journal some
time past clipped the plan but
In some way have lost. 1t. WIN you
be so kind as to republlsh the plan
in the next issue OF The Journal, or
TO send me a copy?
You promised the readers Of The
Journal a book IN which you would
publish all your valuable information
at a reasonable price. we put In our
order for one, but have, not received
II.
I have about 125 laying hens, and
want to build one of your kind of
houses, so as to handle them in all
sorts Of weather A house is feet
deep, 10 feet high in front, feet high
in the rear. and 100 feet long, facing
south, walled in on three sides, is all
we remember of the plan, but you
published a regular builders plan,
which we have lost. Sorry to trouble
you, but IL you will send a copy of
this plan, will appreciate It very much.

It would be quite a bit OF trouble
for me to republish thu article re-

James II. Latimer, Blackshear. Ca.
Will you give me some remedy
for my hens, which are fine lay
ers. but eat the eggs after they
have laid. Any information on this
line will be appreciated.
ANSWER.
If you will place some china nest
eggs around the yards and also use
them for nest eggs in your nests,
they will stop your hens almost
Immediately from eating the eggs.
They will soon find that they can
not break these and will not try to
break their own.
They should be supplied with an
abundance of oyster shell and
great variety of feed. That viii do
as much to stop them naturally las
the glass eggs win. When they
once form the habit of eating eggs
they can only be stopped by the
use Of the glass eggs.
