Snow Hill, Ala; Will you kindly
help me in regard to my hens?
Every once in a while one of them
begins to stand around, looking
sick. Then they get thin. light
weighted and have no appetite. The
feathers and combs are white, or
pale looking, and a watery white
discharge comes from their bowels
which streams down on the feath-
ers behind. After giving them all
of the common remedies, such as
oil, sulphur, turpentine. salts and
poultry regulator, / finally have
to kill them. / have never been
able to cure one yet. Kindly advise
me as am afraid that i will loose
all of my hens finally. An imrne-
date reply will be greatly APP
preciated. Yours very truly,
MRS. RALPH A. DAILY.

Dalton, Gal will write a few
lines to tell of my experience with
Indian Runner ducks and their lay
ing qualities. / have the fawn and
white pure white egg strain and
am more than pleased with them in
every way They beat anything
in producing eggs that have ever
tried. / have shipped almost 1000
eggs from my pen since February
i, and they are still laying right
along every night. Last week 1
pushed them a little, wanting to I'LL
some heavy orders, by feeding them
Red Comb meat mash, and in the
seven days / gathered 1T eggs
from this pen of "a ducks. For
five days would get "a eggs by
o'clock in the morning and late in
the afternoon l would gather one
egg more, making rs eggs from "a
ducks, and for two days / would
get "a eggs in the morning and
two more in the afternoon, making
26 eggs for the day / think this
is a very good record 1 keep
plenty oyster she'll before them all
the time and have a good green
lot for them to run on all the time
and fresh water for them.
Is June plenty early to set In
dian Runner duck eggs? What
space should 100 ducks have to do
we'll? Yours truly,
r. H. SAPP.
ANSWER
Your letter is like a great many
others that / receive concerning In
dian Runner ducks When the
right kind are secured and the
proper feed is given them they
will do just as yours have done
Ducks can be Matched and raised
all during the summer. June
Matched ducks seem to really do
better than any.
A space 50x200 feet is plenty
room for one hundred ducks, How
ever, the results that you are get
ting and the way you are treating
your ducks should enable you to be
a better judge of what size space
you want than any one else and
increase your space in proportion
to the number of ducks that you
are now keeping on the space that
yours are doing so well on.

Rome, Cal wish to consult you
in regard to Indian Runner ducks.
In the first place, / wish to ask
II water, say a natural pond formed
by perpetual spring branch, sur
rounded by two arces of land con-
tanning Bermuda grass, water cress
and some other wild growth of
weeds, would be adapted for the
ducks. / have such a place, and
would like to learn OF this matter,
and, If suitable, might / make Ii
profitable to stock IL up with quite
lot, say four or five hundred
ducks, mainly for eggs for domes-
tic purposes. and to avoid the possi-
bility OF having eggs Matched by
others at so cheap a price? Is IL
practical to allow no drake with
them? win they lay as many eggs
without him? I am told that they
will, and for domestic use they are
better and will keep longer. L
would want to keep a, few of tint
most choice separate for Matching
and raising purposes.
In answering above, / will appre-
oiate any other details concerning
ducks that would be profitable for
me to know. A SUBSCRIBER.
ANSWER
The place mentioned is ideal for
ducks, and would easily accommo-
date 400 20 500 head. Indian Run
ner ducks are great layers, and If
you keep the variety that lay white
eggs they will be profitable to sell
for domestic purposes. Ducks will
lay just as well without a drake as
they will with one. The plan of
keeping a few extra good ones to
breed from is all right.
There are many good duck books
on the market, and If you expect
TO raise ducks it would pay you to
get several of these books.

ANSWER
Your letter explains to a certain
extent the cause of the trouble you
are having with your chickens. 1t
is evident that you have overfed
your chickens, and their systems
have gotten in a stage that they
are easily upset 1t Is bad idea
20 give tonic continually to either
fowls or people. Too much me1i-
cine or physic continually will
eventually put the liver into such a
condition that IL will not be natural.
and one meal of something thar
does not just exactly suit the sys-
tenn is likely 60 upset them. Dis
continue giving the tonic mentioned
in your letter altogether. Use only
the coppsras In the drinking water
once a week and the soda once a
week
Also discontinue feeding the
mixed grain food twice a day and
feed IT only once day, and then
feed IL in litter of some kind, to
make them take exercise. Keep the
dry mash, either Auna Patsey or
Red Comb meat mash. or equal
parts of bran, shorts and corn meal
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1912-05-31
ANSWER.

You do not state how you have
been feeding your chickens, or II
they have a free range or have
been confined. However, 1 am con-
fident your chickens are getting
something that does not agre
with them, either their feed is not
good or the water they are drink
ing is poisonous. You should yard
all of your chickens away from
anything except what you give
them to eat, and the water
they drink should be in clean yes
sells which should be scalded with
some good dislnfectant occasional
ly. Do not feed them any corn
long as you have this trouble. but
give them a mixture of bran,
shorts and corn meal. or any Of
the prepared mash poultry fet
that are now on the market. If
you feed any oats see that they
have no beard on them. If so, cook
them so that the beard will not be
stiff.
Examine your chickens closely
for lice and mites. also examine
their roosting quarters and If you
find any, see that they are thor
oughly cleansed of these insects.
Let me hear from you more full
ly as to how you are feeding
after you have treated them

Triton, Ga.-will you kindly ad-
wise me what to do for my pigeons?
From what 1 can SEE, / believe they
have roupe. They first show loss of
appetite and stay Off in a corner to
themselves, then die in about "a
hours after showing signs Of sick
ness. | have given them Conkey's
Roupe Remedy and have put kohl
in drinking wattr. Have lost every
bird which has been sick
Thanking you FOR a prompt reply,
am Yours very truly,
r. II. JOHNSON.
ANSWER.
l do not think your pigeons have
roupe, but they are possibly af-
fected with a disease known as
going light" The only proven
tive for this is plenty of sunlight
in the house and in their fly and a
basin of water to battle in, which
should have an ounce of carbolic
acid to 10 gallons of water. They
should also have a mixture before
them at all times OF two parts lime,
two parts salt and four parts clay
This can be made into a stin NOR
tar and turned out of the bucket
when dry. They should also have
rock salt before them and pc fed on
sound corn, wheat. hemp seed and a
few peas. If treated as suggested,
you should stop the trouble
