Nothing Better for: Bowel Complaint
Than Freshly Burned Charcoal
Fed In Any Quantity. n

III Very often bowel troubles develop
among young chicks, from no appar-
ent cause, and Of such serious nature
as to threaten the success Of the early
hatch. While this trouble develops
both with hens and breeders. 1t Is
more prevalent In the latter. Once
this bowel trouble develops 1t spreads
very rapidly. "a &,
& Doctoring chickens OF any age 5is q
hard proposition. With young chicks
1t is practically impossible to Is do
anything for them with any Of the rec
ognized remedies used by poultry,
men. For bowel trouble in little chicks
there Is nothing better than freshly
burned charcoal It is pulverized5
daily. rolled into q dust and mixed
with the rations given the chicks. II,
is a corrective rather than a medicine.
Its value is well known in treating
stomach and digestive disorders in the
human body. Its effect is even more
pronounced when used on chickens. 5
Charcoal is an absorbent, having
the, power to take up the foul gases
in the digestive tract The fresher It
ID the more valuable. It can be fed
any quantity. as the birds will not eat
too much OF It. The N only trouble
about leaving 1t in the open Is that
after being exposed to the air very
long 1t loses it, effectiveness to Q
great extent. When fed to very small
chicks the quantity had best at nrst
be. limited until the effect ID seen and
then. the amount can be regulated by
the condition OF the patients,
Another good thing for little chicks
10 to put some tincture Of iron in theN
drinking water. This acts more as a
general tonic than anything. Another
drug that has about the same effect is
permanganate. Put enough
in the drinking water to color 1t violet.
