HABIT OF FEATHER PULLING
Fowls Are Crowded Into Houseo
Too Small.

Feather pulling or eating may not
be so bad as egg eating, but it is an
noying, and is a habit with which
most poultry keepers have more or
less trouble. During the fall and win
ter, when birds are not getting sufil.
cient exercise and are crowded into
small houses, this habit Is most likely
to develop.
Such habits as egg and feather eat
ing are usually the fault of the own
er. When birds are not overcrowded
in large ilocks, and are forced to work
all day for all the feed they get, II Is
seldom that either habit appears. As
b rule, feather-eatlng bird is a poor
layer, and the quicker you can rid
your flock of such n pest the better.
One feather eater in q flock will cause
no end of trouble, and In few weeks
will make all the birds show insight
ly bare backs.
the hen that is causing the trouble,
supply the flock with plenty of animal
matter, such as meat and green-cut
bone, make the birds exercise after all
the food they get.
AS treatment, apply an ointment
of some bitter mixture-quinine or
aloes mixed with lard will do the
work. A solution made by boiling to-
bacco in water will be found satis-

1t is questionable whether chickens
ance, however, between mash and
grain will often result In an exces-
sive deposition of fat. SO much in fact
that the function of the reproductive
organs is interfered with and the bird
does not lay. II Is believed that lay.
ing hens should eat half as much mash
as they do grain but experience, based
on year-round feeding, shows that the
dry mash consumption is only about
one-third of the. total ration. A wet
mash consisting of bran and sour
milk may be fed two or three times
weekly during the late summer and
during the winter as an appetizer, and
in this way the total amount of mash
eaten may be increased.
The dry mash fed In the University
Of Missouri pens consists of equal
parts by weight of grain, shorts, corn
meal and meat scrap. If sour milk
is given the meat Is not necessary.
This mash admits easy mixing, is
bulky and has a sufficient protein cons
tent of an animal source to make II
practical for production. This mash
may be fed in self-feeding hopper
to which the birds have free access.
If fed in this manner they will, to a
large degree, gauge their own ration,
and at the same time considerably less
labor is required than If the mash Is
thrown into troughs each morning.

Systematic feeding Is just as neces-
sary in the poultry yard as 1t is in the
steer pen or hog lot. G.. W. Hervey
of the Missouri college Of agriculture,
gives the following hints which may
help relieve the egg shortage:
Grain for chickens should be clean
and free from mold. Moldy grain will
often cause death or result in any one
of the several diseases common to the
digestive tract. Birds affected be-
come weak and inactive and often
manifest an intense thirst.
There is always danger of under
feeding. The birds should go on the
roosts at night with crops well filled.
Only little grain need be scattered
In the straw litter each morning to In
duce exercise during the Gay. The
total amount of grain to be supplied
daily will depend largely upon the
palatabllity of the dry mash which is
fed as an adjunct to the grain ration
and also the housing facilities. II the
dry mash is not relished or IL none is
fed at all. a greater amount of grain
Is required to satisfy the appetite of
the birds and at the same time they
cannot utilize the feed efficiently for
production purposes. When INSULT
cient protection is given, especially
during the winter months, by undue
exposure of houses or by allowing
draughts, more grain Is required to
keep up the body heat.

ANIMAL FOOD FOR CHICKENS
During Winter Something Must Be
Provided to Take Place Of Grass

In the summer when the hens lay
well they have bugs, worms. grass

MIXTURE GOOD
SPRAY FOR POTATO BUGS.

Vernon Kinney Of this city, an old
gardener, suggests that the HERALD
publish a formula for spraying pota-
toes. Gardeners universally recon-
mend Bordeaux mixture for this pur-
pose. The current issue of the WIS
CONSIN AGRICULTURIST says the
following:
Where the field is small, good ser
vice can be done by hand picking the
old beetles as soon as they appear on
the scene. AS q rule, though, Paris
green or arsenate Of lead are depend
ed upon in the larger fields.
Paris green is not always uniform
in strength, but one and one-half to
two pounds to fifty gallons Of water
will kill. Too strong solutions will
burn the foliage unless lime water is
mixed with it. Three pounds Of arse
ate of lead paste will have the same
effect as this Paris green solution.
When the Paris green is not used in
solution with Bordeaux, most grow
ers use two to three pounds of lime
to each fifty gallons anyway, as a
precautiOn against burning of foliage.
Some growers dust the Paris green
on dry, mixed with land plaster or
air slaked lime, at the rate Of one part
Paris green to three parts Of the dry
powder used.
