FROZEN COMBS SHOULD 3
GUARDED AGAINST.
see That Your Hens DO Not Rcost IN
Exposed Places or re Them

ROY III. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

One of the hardest things TO do dur
ing a cold snap is to keep the combs
of the poultry from freezing. This T.
true more especially Of some of The
larger combed breeds, like the Minor
cas-, Leghorns, etc Il, perhaps, does
not injure the value OF a. bird TO any
great extent, 30 far as breeding quail
ties are concerned, to have part or It's
comb frozen or, but It isn't very pleas
ant 10 the birds nor do they look 10
well afterwards. IL is On very serious
defect in On show specimen to have 1tS
comb frozen and poultry fancierg take
extra precautions, such as taking the
birds i'm the house or other warm
places on cold nights, or amounting
their combs with vaseline, to keep
them from freezing.
Where more than one male 10 rooet-
Ing with the flock, ono IS always boss
and usually keeps his meeker com
rades from roosting with the rest OK
the flock. Roasting alone, even though
the place may not be exposed badly,
they do not get the advantage OF the
body heat from the other birds and
their combs freeze more quickly. Like
wise, few fowls roosting i'm o. big
space are not able to conserve their
heat and suffer accordingly ON cold
nights. We have found, however, that
even with open front houses, If the
roosts are placed at the rear OF the
house, with droppings board beneath,
and the roof fairly low, and are kept
wen filled with birds, there - little
danger from combs freezing.
Vaseline Is recommended after the
damage II done. III the bird ID found
with comb still frozen II should Be
thawed out very slowly, using cold
water or snow. Apply the water with
"a cloth or the snow direct. When
thawed out anoint with vaseline. Often
the wattles will swell UP like coupl9
of eggs and in this case they can be-
lanced to let out the collected serum
and relieve the birds.

Nashville with New Orleans.
Whether this road which will ira.
verse the Magnolia state will be a Sec
ton of the proposed Jackson Military
-Highway, remains to be seen. The
exact route to be taken by the high
way will not be known till October /,

The commission to designate the
route, at a meeting i'll Jackson yester-
day, decided to wait until that date,
and then again go over the suggested
routes in Mississippi and Alabama.
The state having at that time the bet

the route.
This means that Mississippi will at
once begin putting into first-class
shape the roads leading through the
counties between the northeastern
corner of the state and New Orleans.
Even if this route is not chosen as
the official course for the Jackson
road, the state will have first class
