II the fire bell should ring, would
you run and stop it or go and help
to put out the fire? II is much the
same way with n cough. A cough is n
danger signal as much as n fire. bell.
You should no more try to suppress ia
than to stop fire bell when it Is ring
ing, but should cure the disease that
causes the coughing, This can nearly
always be done by taking Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. Many have used
it with the most beneficial results. 1t

KEEP THE LAYING HENS BUSY
Fowls With Long Toenails Are Sci.
dom Good Egg Producers-keep
Birds in Condition.

The success OF egg production de.
pends largely upon the activity OF the
bird. The reason the Leghorns excel
in egg production is largely because
they keep themselves in good physical
condition. They exercise. The hen
that is inactive and shows long toe
nails is seldom a good producer. The
hen that is first off OF the roost in
the morning, keeps busy during the
day and is last to go TO roost at night
is the profitable hen.
Some birds have the disposition TO
take exercise; others have to be
forced. This is especially true of the
heavier breeds. Strains Of Rocks and
other breeds are inclined to be lazy
and in a short time get so fat that
they cannot produce eggs in satisfac-
tory quantities. The circulation OF
blood TO the ovary is restricted by the
excessive fat. This unquestionably
interferes with the normal function.
ing OF the oyary and reduces egg pro
duction.
Exercise can best be encouraged by
not oyerfeeding. The poultry house
should be bedded with a foot or more
OF straw and the grain buried in this.
The skill OF the poultry feeder is test.
ed by the manner in which he com.
pels the hens to exercise.
Overlooking causes inactivity,
which will be manifested by few holes
being dug in the straw. Egg produc-
tion is quite largely dependent upon
keeping the birds in condition. In
summer It can be encouraged by SOW.

BUYERS DISLIKE SCAlY LEGS
Unsishtiy Disease Renders PIumpest
Of Chickens Difficult to Sell
Grass Range Helpful.

The unsightly poultry disease,
known as scaly legs, is exceedingly
injurious to the marketability of chick
ems, making them Objectionable sights
to buyers. Moreover, 1t is extremely
contagious. one diseased fowl being
enough TO infect an entire flock in
short order. This information should
be especially interesting 20 South Car
olina poultrymen, since the extension
poultry husbandman of Clemson col.
lege states that he has seen more OF
the scaly-leg disease in this state than
anywhere else he has ever been.
The disease appears only on the
legs OF fowls and is caused by the
ravages OF a mite which bears the
name sarcoptes mutans. II is more
likely to be found where fowls are
kept In a small yard or on the bare
ground. A good grass range is help
full In overcoming the disease.
To treat scaly legs. thoroughly
cleanse the legs by washing with hot
water, soap. and a handy brush. Dry
them and immerse them in solution
OF equal parts OF coal oil. (kerosene)
and cottonseed oil. Treat the fowls
legs in this way twice daily for few
days and then once daily until the
shanks resume their natural appear
ance.
