How To Prevent
Acid StOmachS And
Food Fermentation
BY a New York PhYGician.

"Niy experience has forced me TO the
conclusion that most people who complain
Of stomach trouble possess stomachs that are
absolutely healthy and normal The real
trouble. that which causes all the pain and
difficulty, is excessive acid In the stomach,
aggravated by food fermentation. Hyper
acidity irritates the delicate lining Of the
stomach abnormally, causing that full, bloat.
ed feeling. Thus both acid and fermenta.
tion Interfere with and returd the process Of
digestion The stomach wall is usually
healthy and normal, but irritated almost
past endurance by these foreign elements
acid aud wind In all cases-and they
comprise a great majority Of all stomach
diniculties-the first and only step neces-
sary is 10 noutralize the acid and stop the
fermentation by taking, In little warm or
cold water Immediately after eating, from
ono tc two teaspoonfuls Of bisuratcd mag
nesia, which is the most effective antacid
and food correctivc 7 have ever found The
excessive acid will be neutralized and the
fermentation stopped almost instantly. and
YOUR stomach will at once proceed 10 digest
the food in a healthy normal manner. BE

not. Nevertheless. 1t Is a safe course to
select for the production of Matching
eggs only the healthiest and most Wig
orous hens.
Unless one is absolutely certain as to
the condition of the hens used for the
production of Matching eggs. the latter
should be disinfected before they are
incubated. There are two effective
means of disinfecting eggs:
1. Strong methylated spirit can be
used for rapidly wiping the eggs. They
should be carefully and quickly dried
after this treatment before being put
In the incubator or under hen.
2. The eggs may be dipped in a weak
solution of creolin and water. They
may be placed in the incubator imme-
diately after being dipped.
Both of these methods have proved
effective and neither form of treat
ment apparently Injuries the hatcha-
bility of the eggs. Where an incubator
Is used. the precaution should be taken
to disinfect the inside of the machine
every time 1t is used and before the
eggs are placed therein

Feeding Of Infected Chicks.

The feeding of sour milk to chicks
appears to be an easy means of con-
trolling white diarrhea. The purpose
of sour milk is to suppress intestinal
putrefaction which the parasite ,of this
disease sets up. Milk contains a guam
tity of sugar which is acted upon by
certain fermentation organisms. These
bacteria counteract the parasite of
white diarrhea.
A poultry expert in Great Britain has
used catechu to prevent white diar-
rhea. Ten to fifteen grains of crude
catechu were dissolved in one gallon of
drinking water. They drank it greedily
and made rapid improvement in health.
The treatment is given usually for ten
days.

The fundamental factor of successful
fattening is to keep the hen quiet. This
by itself may cause an accumulation
OF fat, but in general practice it is Gus
tomary to feed greater excess of fat
in the ration than would be given to
ordinary layers. The rapidity of the
process would depend upon the fat pro-
ity of the bird to utilize the fat and
keep up its vitality under close con>
finement

Roup is a germ disease thought by
some to be caused by the bacillus avi-
septicus; very infectious and usually
transmitted by exposure to infected
birds or to coops, roosts and yards
where roupy birds have been. Birds
suffering from colds and exposure are
more suspectible. and to guard against
roup you should use tonics and pre-
ventives. which not only tend to pre-
vent this dread disease. but help to
keep the birds in the pink of condition
and working overtime on the egg bas-
ket.
You can help to decide which hens
are kept at loss by going through the
house just after dark and feeling the
crop of each bird. Those hens whose
crops are packed full are in all proba-
bility the hens which are laying well.
You may we'll be suspicious of the hen
which night after night has only a
partly filled crop.
Small fiocks often lay better than
large ones in the winter time. The
reason Is because they have better at
tention. often the large flock is put
into crowded quarters and fed poorly.

Insect Pests.
Brooding the Poults.

oIOOo4A6 tuS Ou1LS.
If the weather is warm and dry no
shelter is required, as the poults do
better in the open. Should it be rainy,
however. they need to be protected, for
nothing is more injurious than for them
to become wet and chilled. The most
satisfactory plan is to confine the
mother turkey hen to coop and allow
the poults to run In and out whenever
rain does not prevent This coop
should be placed In a field where they
can run out and find grasshoppers,
green vegetation and other feed The
coop should be moved to fresh ground
every day.
Improper breeding. combined with
close confinement, has been the cause
of many failures in turkey raising.
Given free range on the average farm,
living, anu one light feed a day for
the purpose of inducing them to come
in at night is sufficient. If the mother
hen is confined to coop and the poults
allowed to run in and out, three times a
day is often enough to feed. and very
little should be given at time. The
poults should always be ready to eat;
il given all they will clean up several
times day. indigestion will be the re-
suit. If there is little or no feed out
then they should be fed about five
times a day, feeding only small guam
tity at a time. A good feed for the
first few days is stale bread soaked in
milk and squeezed dry. Corn bread
crumbs and clabbered milk or cottage
cheese is also quite often fed and with
excellent results. Green feed and grit
should be on hand at all times. AS the
poults grow older the ration should
gradually be-chauged to grain,

CITY FLOAT FOR SMALL
 BOATS WILL BE BUILT

The city will at once start work on the construction of a suitable float where fishing boats, small work boats. pleasure boats, and, in fact. boats of all kinds. can land and remain until the owner sees fit Co take them elsewhere. In oth- CT words a float for the use of all manner of small craft will be con- structed and the owners Of boats will be allowed to use the float as mucl as they please free Of cost.
 The float will be placed parallel with the shore line and will be ap- proximately 800 feet in length and will be so arranged that boats can tie 10 either side Of it. Suitable ap- breaches to the float will be pro- yided. both from the Alaska Juneau dock and from the Thane roadway. giving free access to the float for teams. delivery autos, and foot travel.
 The new float will be between the Alaska Juneau dock and the Standard Oil Company's dock.
