ROUP REMEDY FOR CHICKENS
Good Plan to See That Curtains or
Windows Are Down and Every
thing in Proper Shape.

The habit of visiting the poultry
house after the birds have gone to
roost during the winter months is q
good one. After the water vessels
have been emptied to keep them from
freezing overnight, it is good plan
to see that the curtains or windows
are down and everything is in shape
If the grain feed for the following
morning is scattered in the litter the
birds will be busy and active as soon
as they come off the roosts. This is
far better for them than standing
round an hour or so in the cold morn
ing air waiting for their feed.
Before leaving the house listen care
fully for wheeling or heavy breath
ing. This is the first indication OF
colds, roup, and similar diseases, and
if detected in time q serious outbreak
may be prevented.

OLD.FAsHIONED HIGH 'ROOSTS
Spra;ned Legs, SpIinters or Gravel in
Feet and Other Troubles Are
Sure to Follow.

Too many poultry keepers yet build
old-fashioned high roosts. The tree
shelter instinct still induces every
fowl to fight for a place on the highest
Of the roosts. Few you will notice,
want the low. For the large heavy
breeds, high roosts mean sprained
legs, splinters or gravel in the feet,
and much suffering because Of jump
ing from high roosts.
Turkeys often show up with bum
ble-foot or other kinds of lameness
because they roost so high. One can
also make the roosts too small.
Chickens are often lamed by giving
them roosts that allow the toes to go
clear around, and sink the claws In
the soft part Of the sole. This is sure
to cause sores, or at least tender feet.

KILLING GEESE FOR MARKET
Feathers Can Easily Be Removed BY
Dipping Fowl in Boiling Hot
Water Three Times.

When killing geese for market, the
feathers can be removed easily If, af.
ter killing, the body of the goose is
dipped three times in water which is
almost at the boiling point, dipping ii
slowly in and out each time, and then
wrapping it in canvas or closely-woven
cloth to keep In the steam. In a min
ute or two this will loosen the feath-
ers so that they will come out easily.

good feed for the first few days is stale
bread soaked In milk and squeezed
dry. Cornbread crumbs and clabber-
ed 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 changed
to grain.

CAUSE OF TURKEY FAILURES
Among Other Reasons Assigned Is
That of Improper Feedlng-cIose
Confinement Hurts.

Improper feeding, combined with
close confinement, has been the cause
Of many failures in turkey raising.
Given free range on the average farm,
the poults can easily pick up their own
living, and one light feed day for
the purpose of inducing them to come
in 81 night is sufficient. If the mother
hen is confined to a 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; If given all they will
clean up several times a day, indiges-
ton will be the result. If there is
little or no feed outside the coop for
the poults to pick up, then they should
be fed about five times q day, feeding
