MOLDY FEED BAD FOR HENS
Cause of Many Deaths Among Poultry,
Particularly Among Young Chicks,
Can Be Prevented.

Don't give poultry moldy feed. 1t
causes aspergillosis and chickens al
ficted with this are "lungers."
"Moldy feed and moldy litter in
poultry houses are the cause Of many
deaths among poultry, and particularly
among your chicks" says J. B. Hayes
of the poultry department Of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. These molds
taken into the body of the fowl cause
a disease known as aspergillosis which
is as fatal as the name sounds. Among
poultry men, the chicks affected with
this trouble are commonly spoken OF
as 1ungers."
The chick stands around in drowsy
manner and shows little desire to
eat. The wings hang down, the breath
is rapid, and white diarrhea is pres
ent. Indeed, the disease is many
times mistaken for white diarrhea-
Older birds, when attacked, are mac
tive and sleepy. If forced to run, they
will fall from exhaustion. The breath
Ing is rapid, the appetite Is diminished
and more or less catarrh is present
AL du6CIeu ClllCh w III UO lOuhu "
have soft yellow growths from the size
of a pinhead to that of pea, mainly
In the lungs but sometimes in the In
testines and mesentery. These growths
clog the air passages Of the lungs and
so cause the death of the birds. In
mature fowls there are two forms OF
the disease. The membranes lining
the air sacs and tubes may be covered
with a membranous formation which
is soft and yellowish and has an Of
fensive odor. Or there may be white
or yellowish nodules imbedded in the
tissues of the lungs. In either case
the disease is incurable.
But since it is caused by moldy feed
or moldy litter it can be entirely pre-
vented by cleaning up the poultry
house once In a while and keeping
moldy feed and litter away from the
flock This is only one of the many
poultry troubles that can be avoided
by clean feed and clean pens and
yards.

VARIETY FOR WINTER EGGS
Best Results Secured From Laying
Fowls by Using Ground Food,
Meat and Green Stuff.

Variety of feed is what makes the
winter eggs. Corn three times a day
as a rule builds up fatty tissue, makes
hens lazy and reduces profit.
Animal food, ground food and a
generous supply of green stuff pro-
duce the best results for laying fowls, y
says j. G.. Halpin, head of the poultry
department of the University OF Wis
consin.
The exercise so needful for poultry
can be provided in winter by working
the grain ration well into the litter OF
fresh straw that should be provided as
a carpet on the feeding floors. A good
variety of grain should be provided;
some corn, wheat, oats and barley
mixed together, or fed alternately
makes satisfactory ration.
A grain ration for winter use thai
has given good results at the expert
ment station farm consists Of twl
parts corn, two parts wheat, one part
oats and one part barley.
It is recommended that the ground
feed be placed in a small mash box
or trough where the hen can have
ready access to it, The following mix
ture of ground feeds is considered to
be quite satisfactory: One hundred
pounds bran, 100 pounds middlings
100 pounds ground corn, so pounds
malt sprouts, so pounds meat scraps
and sufficient salt.

Green Bone for Fowls.

Green bone can be fed advanta-
geously to fowls intended for different
purposes and kept under different
conditions. 1t is a great help in has
tening the growth of young birds, but
the greatest help Of this food to the
average poultry raiser is in feeding 1t
during the winter months to supply
animal food. When fed to laying
hens the yield will be increased won
derfully, and the poultry raiser will
be we'll paid for the labor expended
In cutting. 1t is a food which all
fowls eat readily, and one that must
be fed judiciously.

cial supports in this collar.

This style of collar is specially suit
able for morning shirt waists, and 1t
would give good results If combined
with mauve or pale blue muslin.

Care OF Details Important.

AS rule 1t is the taking care of the
little things that goes furthest toward
making a success of any business.
This is especially true in the poultry
business. Until one masters this fea-
ture of the work he cannot hope to be
a real success. This is one reason why
many women are really successful in
the raising of chickens. They have the
Unborn faculty for detail in their work.

COTTON FARMERS ARE ALERT
Resolution of Protest Against British
Attitude Toward American Trade
War Is a Disgrace.

Leaders of the Farmers National
union. which claims 100000 mem
bers, have made public resolution Of
protest against the British attitude to-
ward American trade, OF which copy
has been sent to President Wilson.
The protest characterizes the war as
a disgrace to civilization and shame
to humanity" and calls upon the presi-
dent TO place an embargo, under the
provisions of the law of 1919, upon the
export of arms and ammunition in re-
taliation for the British attitude to-
ward American trade.
In support Of this it makes the state
ment that during the Spanish war both
England and Germany placed embar-
goes on arms shipments.
Southern cotton growers founded
the Farmers union. Southern cotton
growers are not jingoes. Southern
cotton growers lost $3.50 100000 in
1914. Southern cotton growers are
face to face with the same old crisis
In 1915. Now, why should the south,
ern cotton grower be the goat all OF
the time?-Fort Worth Record.
