The wise poultryman knows the dan

he keeps all parts of his plant, indoors
and out, scrupulously clean, for he
knows that filth breeds disease, says
the Kansas Farmer. He never puts
more birds In a coop or house than
can be comfortably quartered, especial
ly at night, for he realizes the evils OF
overcrowding. He believes In plenty
of fresh air for his fowls by day AMI
by night an provides for it by build
Ing his houses with open fronts that
can be closed by muslin screens when
the weather demands extra protection
for the chickens during a cold spell.
He does not attempt to cheat his fowls
by giving poor or damaged food, but
furnishes the best that can be procur-
ed and that contains all the elements
needed to keep his fowls In good condi-
ton. so thai they can give him good
eggs and plenty of them. He does not
throw the feed on dirty floors or In
such n way that the chickens can gorge
themselves and then sit around In idle
ness. but he buries the grain In deep
litter and In this way compels them to

Presentation For Pink Eye.

The following advice for the treat
ment of pink eye in calves is given by
DR.. w. p. Shuler Of the department
of veterinary medicine of Oklahoma
Agricultural and Mechanical college:
For an eye wash use one ounce Of
boric acid. two drains of zinc sulphate
and fifteen grams of eserin. This is
to be made up to twelve ounces with
water and dropped into the eye by
means of a medicine dropper once or
twice daily. Administer in addition to
this such substances as will regulate
the bowels and dram doses of Fowler's
solution of arsenic once daily.
