QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. l have a quantity of sour milk al
most every day which I have been using
for making curd. A friend advised me
to feed it to my chickens. Shall do so ?
A. By all means. Sour milk proba-
bly, has no equal in value for chickens,
II is good for the youngsters, growing
ones and the grown-up as we'll; both as
a food and for drink. Let them have
plenty of ii. 1t can either be fed in
pans or mixed with the mash food, If
given in pans, however, they should be
thoroughly scalded every day.
0. ! am having a great deal Of trou-
Bile with the gapes. Have used a patent
worm extractor but kill most of the birds
treat Can You give me cure for this
trouble?
A. Yes, the best remedy have ever
found for the trouble and one that works
like magic, is equal parts of air-slacked
lime and sulphur. Thoroughly mix
them together and place in a small sack.
Hold the affected bird in the left hand,
and with the thumb and forehnger hold
its mouth open. Insert the head of the
bird within the mouth of the sack and
with the right hand gently tap on the
sack containing the mixture. The fumes
will rise and penetrate the birds throat,
killing the gap worms. One application
is generally sufficient to effect a cure,
but should any signs of the trouble APP
pear, give a second dose. Once used,
this remedy will put the gap extracting
instrument completely out OF business
as far as You are concerned.

POULTRY INDUSTRY IN DELAWARE

Few people, apparently are aware OF
the extent of the poultry industry III
Delaware. Accorning to the last census
the Delaware poultry products in l9J9
amounted to 81 800 600. Since that time
there has been a rapid development OF
commercial poultry growing, poultry
having increased on the farms, IN the
towns and a considerable number Of
large commercial plants have been estab-
Iished such as that of the Grier Brothers
at Milford Oliver A. Newton at Bridge
vile. and that of Speakman at Smyrna
It is safe to say that the poultry products
that will be sold from Delaware dunng
1914 will amount to 81, 500, 600. The corn
crop is the most valuable of any single
CROP in Delaware, and is usually worth
around s. 600, 900. The wheat crop about
n. 600. 600. All dairy products amount
TO 81 0OO, 900. All crops in a favorable
wear may amount to $40, 600, 600.
The only special attention that has
been given the poultry industry by the
state has been given in lectures and
discussions at the Farmers Institutes.
These lectures have been inspiring and
instructive and have greatly stimulated
the industry. A poultry department at
the Delaware Experiment Station is now
greatly needed and would prove OF un-
fold value to the State. Connecticut,
with no greater rural population than
Delaware, sells annually nearly 81 ,OOO'-
000 worth of poultry and poultry pro,
ducts Maine between $4,000, COO and
SS 600 900. These Stases have been for
funate in having given poultry very
nrominent place in experiment station
work. Probably the industry IS better
organized in those States, or at any q rae y,
the poultry people nave f tsT GoGPer@Ced nroducts
ord in Getting better prices in the mar
Let Lei. There IS much work to do in this
line in Delaware. Arrangements are
now now under way by which a poultry de-
r,o- will be established at Newark;
the international egg-laying competition
,v;II he connected with It.

ADVICE TO BREEDERS
With RESTRICTED AREA
And Other Poultry Tips, Worth While.
By J. H. MeFAUL, Jr.
L4H Rights Resetvedl

If 1t is not convenient to sprout oats
TOR use as green food, the time will soon
be here when You can purchase for a song
tne cabbage that failed to head properly.
! Get a quantity and lay them out on the
north side of the house. Cover with
leaves, hay or any other good substitute
to the depth of about two feet. Use
them as wanted.
Unused lumber and rubbish should
not be left lying about in piles in the
chicken yard. 1t harbors rats, and rats
are detriment to the birds.
1t IS a mistake to force the pullets for
early laying They will do much better
IN the end if allowed to mature properly,
which is Natures time for LAYING.
When hens persist in laying soft
shelled eggs it is pretty good indica-
ton that you are feeding too much corn
and too little green food. Decrease the
corn and increase the green food, such
as sprouted oats, beets, cabbages, etc.
Early molting hens will prove to be
good winter layers if given proper care
and attention. 1t is safe to force the
mott little on this class of hens, but re-
member this should never be done with
the ones that are to be used as breeders.
As a rule, old hens have but little
value and should be disposed of for mar
ket purposes. They eat equally as much
as the yielding ones, thus consume the
profit of the other birds. Single out the
producers and send the rest off to mar
ket. In this way you will increase your
profits and decrease the number of hens
and your work.
Cowpeas are cheap and materially in
crease the egg yield. Mix quantity
with the scratch food, scatter it in the
litter and watch the output jump. They
also assist in keeping the birds in a
healthy condition.

Precioua.

The corn crop Of a certain West
ern county is nearly a total failure
this year. One morning short time
ago a farmer took sack and went to
his sixty-aere sweet-corn field to see
if he could find enough roasting ears
for meal. In going over the field he
found that each ear had only couple
of rows of corn, so he cut the corn off
the eobs and had it cooked for dinner.
About dinner time a young fellow
who lived near drove up, and the
farmer invited him to stay. At the
table he passed the corn to the young
man first, and the Yisitor took one
spoonful of corn and started to take
another, when the farmer stopped him
and said:
"Don't you think you are going a
little strong on the corni"
The young man was very much EN-.
barrassed. "Whyf" no stammered.
"Well, you have about fifteen acres
of corn on your plate now."

Stories With a Smile
Yes, How Did He Know7

N SUNDAY SCHOOL superintendent,
~ named Mead, who was a graduate
of Yale, was deploring the fact
that the children of the present genera
tion do not memorize the scriptures
as they did generation ago. "NOw,
III tell you of practical JOKE" he
announced to the scholars, "that stu
dent once tried to play on the old
president of Yale.
"He removed tho Bible from the
desk and put dictionary in its place.
Next morning at chapel the president
announced that he would read the
1119th Psalm, before he discovered the
trick. He opened the dictionary, and
so perfectly Lad he committed the
Psalm that he could repeat every word,
and no one ever knew that She change
had been made, except the president
and the boy who did it,"
He paused moment for this to take
effect, when a small voice piped up:
elbow did you find it out, Mr.. Meadi"
