Questions and Ansmers.

POULTRY EDITOR, THE CHRONICLE:
AS a reader of your weekly poultry
department, engaged in raising a few
chickens for my own use, desire a lit
tie information relative to a condition
which presented itself, One of nv
White Leghorn pullets went to the nest
as II to lay, and after coming from same,
| found that she had protruding from
her a sort of skin or sack. 1t looked as
if the bowels of the chicken were hang
ing out. While l killed the bird. 1 would
like to know what allied her and how to
effect cure should the same condition
present itself in the future.
ANSWER
Your action with regard to the hen
was probably the better way to handle
case OF this Kind. From the description
gwen, l am led to believe that the hen
was suffering from what is termed PRO
lapse OF the oviduct. or what is better,
the turning out Of that portion of the
anatomy. The matter of treatment de-
pends largely upon the degree to which
It mas occurred when discovered Where
1t IS only partial, it is possible to effect
q cure out It rarely pays to bother with
it. My advice is. the axe.
II you desire to make an attempt at
cure, first ascertain the cause OF the
allment 1t is often brought on bv con-
Stlpation straining to lay a very large |
egg or straining to lay where there is an |
obstruction in the oviduct.
Wash the protrusion or extended parts |
carefully and thoroughly with warm |
to 1000 biehloride of mercury solution.
grease them well with vaseline. and |
With the fingers also we'll creased. re-
place the parts with the greatest gentle
less and care. In some cases. using
'are and patience, you will be able to
get them back into their former position.
These parts must be kept in place, how
'ver, and to accomplish this il is neces-
ary to reduce the swelling. This NAV
possibly be done by inserting pieces of
ce into the vent after the oviduct is re
urned. The ice has the effect of re-
ucing the swelling. This operation
must be continued at short intervals for
everal hours.
If successful, the bird should be kent
y itself In a coop which has been part
darkened in order to prevent the bird
rom moving about too freely, thus in
urlng quletness. While thus confined.
should be given only light and unstim.
lating foods with a liberal supply of
reen feed.

My dear Sirs:
After trying out the Standard Colony
BrOOder, am thoroughly convinced that
you have a brooder that outclasse es all
others of this kind.
We have been working it right along
with various other coal brooders which
we have had for several years, and this
brooder has demonstrated its superiority
over them all.
am enclosing herewith check for the
one you sent US some time ago as per
our agreement, and / am requesting you
to ship four more of these, Immediately,
by first freight Two of these are for
my own use and two are ones which l
have induced U. r. Fishel to buy, and
| feel confident that he will give you
further orders.
Please get these out promptly and do
not lose any time in the order, as | am
needing one of mine not later than the
last of this week.
Yours respectfully,

The average bird of any of the stand

ton which she will return 10 her breed
er. However, this is not ali profit as
the cost of raising the chick and the
cost OF Keep during her yielding period
must be taken into consideration.
AS the cost of raising and keeping the
hrst year amounted to about 81 so, this
must be deducted from the returns de-
rived from the sale of her products.
Ihls illustrates that here the hen yields
ten dozen eggs she will show a net profit
OF 81, and Sl.5O from the hen that yields
twelve dozen,
Few hens during their first year will
yield less than ten dozen eggs. and many
will even go beyond the twelve dozen
mark. We are using these conservative
figures, but in many instances, they will
be even greater.
The second laying year of the indivi-
dual hen is even better than its first or
pullet year and the profits should be
greater. After two years it is advis-
able to sell the hens, as after this time,
they generally lay fewer eggs each sue
ceedlng year. Never lumber your plant
with non n-prOducers or birds that do not
show profit. Raise a sufficient num-
Der of youngsters each spring to take
the place of the old birds that are to be
sold, thus keeping your plant at all
times populated with young, prolific and
good-laying stock. This is one of the
secrets of the poultry industry, and if
followed, you will never complain that
poultry is not profitable investment.

tion that poultry is not profitable. nor do

Healthier and better chicks are gen
orally produced from eggs of matured
fowls, rather than from those of pullets.
Pullet eggs are often used, and many
times with success, but chicks from
such eggs are seldom in the same class

There is a picture in this years show

was Of a sunset over a plowed field. q

the painter was home on leave, and he
spent 1t working over his picture. To

and the sunset; but 1t also shows six
soldiers fallen about a cannon, INTO

The captain witnessed the incident he

the landscape was ready for the figures
for no academy picture could be

BROTHERS MURDER
IDAHO RANCHER
YOUTHFUL THIEVES SHOT DOWN

Eleven and TweIve-Year-oId Bows
Confess to Brutal Crime After
Being Caught In Act Of

Twin Falls, Idaho.-Lynn and Har
old Lovelace, IL and ~ years of age,
were held by a coroner's jury here
for the murder of Prof. Thomas Ham,
Ill, a teacher from Carson, New, whose
body was found near his homestead,
forty-five miles south of Twin Falls.
The two boys were a~pprehended
near Bull, twenty miles west of Twin
Falls, Sunday evening, six days arter
the murder. They had travelled about
100 miles with Hamill's horse and
light wagon, sleeping in the sage
brush without bedding and thinly clad.
They had with them supplies which
they had taken from HamilIs house,
also eight guns and revolvers of var
ious kinds. They also had stolen guns
and other things from ranches along
the way.
Upon arrest the boys confessed the
crime, admitting that they had robbed
Professor Hamill's house a week ago
Sunday while he was absent. Return
ing the next day Professor Hamill
went to a neighboring ranch where
the Lovelace boys were and forced
them to return the stolen property.
He started to take the boys to another
neighbOr, but they escaped.
The boys returned to Professor
Hamills home, arriving there before
him, armed with rifles, and awaited
his return. Hami1l ordered the boys
away, but they retreated into the
house and covered him with his own
guns. He parleyed and asked for
food, and after they came out Lynn
stood guard over him while Harold
entered the cabin to get him some
bread. Hamill grabbed the younger
boy.
Lynn ordered Harold to shoot. The
bullet passed SO close to Harold, whom
Professor Hamill held in front of him
as a shield, that 1t tore a hole in the
boys undergarment, after which it
struck Professor Hamill in the eye,
penetrating the brain. Professor Ham
i'll died instantly. The boys kicked
the body aside and then left in a
wagon and drove 100 miles oyer a
trackless country in six days, camping
out at night. They were headed for
Lebanon, Ore, where they said q
grandfather lived. Their stepfather
went to Colorado two weeks ago,
leaving them with neighbors from
whom they ran away.
