FATTENING, KILLING AND
DRESSING FOR FASTIDIOUS TRADE
Phase of Poultry Raising That
Bears Closely Upon Returns.
Various Methods Required for
Different Kinds of Fowls.
Ry Myra Kelsey Cox
Experienced Poultrywoman

Success with poultry reposes in no
one detail. Could the re asons thereof
be condemned. il would doubtless be
expressed as carefulness. Success
rests alone not in the breed. nor yet
the feed: in the number hatched. nor
the style of house. II depends not
solely upon the character of the
range. nor the manner and use Of
disinfcctants. Rather is il the result
of a happy combination of all.

DID WORK OF HIGH ORDER
Designs Wrought by Ancient Peruvian
Dyers Have Been Given Much
Praise by Experts.

The ancients of Peru, by q curious
coincidence-for there could moi pos
sibly have been n intercourse with
their contemporaries in India and
Egypt-seem to have used much the
same kind of processes in printing
their designs upon the fabrics they
manufactured. Both Herodotus and
Pliny. among early historians, have
told us about the cloths of vegetable
fiber made by the ancients; but in all
likelihood the fabrics of the Peruvians
were of even a more remote date. In
some respects the methods of today
bear strong resemblance to the older
practice. The chief difference con-
sists in the patterns now being en-
graved upon copper rollers and several
colors being printed at one time. Just
as today the coloring matter of dyes
Is not affixed by merely printing 1t on
the material, but is secured by means
of a substance known Us mordant, so
did the P~eruvians make use Of prop
erty which caused the dye to adhere
and to Withstand a test of thousands
of years wear and tear. Experts have
declared hat in the direction Of tech
nical and artistic value the designs in
question have no equal.

Treatment of Diseased Birds.

The medical treatment of roup may
be very successful If properly applied.
The sick birds should be removed from
the flock and put into a warm, dry and
well-ventilated room which is free
from drafts. The affected mucous
membranes should then be treated by
lures. The best method Is to use a
a good spraying apparatus, but. lack
ing this, a small syringe. an oilcan. or
even a medicine dropper can be made
to answer the purpose, or the birds
head may be plunged into a basin or
bowl of the mixture and held there
II few seconds, but not long enough to
cause su~ffocation.
The remedies most suitable for such
treatment are: Boric acid, 1 ounce;
water, 1 quart. Or. permanganate of
potash, 1 dram; water. 1 pint. Or.
boric acid, Ia ounces; borate of sodn
Common baking soda), " ounce; wa
ter, 1 quart. Or. peroxide of hydro
gen. 1 ounce; water, 8 ounces.
Before applying these remedies II Is
well to wash the eyes and mouth with
warm water containing one teaspoon
full Of common salt to a quart, using
a pledget Of absorbent cotton and rub
bling gently, while at the same time
pressing and m%assaging about the nos-
trils and under the Eyes to loosen the
accumulated secretion. If there Is
much swelling under the eyes 1t must
be carefully opened with a sharp,
clean knife. all the secretion removed,
and the cavity washed with n of The
aforementioned solutions. A pledget
Of cotton moistened with the solution
may be left in the opening for an hour
or two. or 1t may be busted with lode
form powder. When the swelling IN
der the y is moi very lasl OF ha"
1t may often be reduced b~ limos

FEED GREEN CUT BONE.

Green cut bone can often be
purchased from the butcher.
This material whel procured
fresh makes an excellent substi-
tute for beef scrap. 1t should be
purchased in small quantities, as
it cannot be kept fresh for any
length of time and when spoiled
may cause v bowel trouble.
1t is best fed in a trough not
oftener than every other day, al
lowing about one-half ounce per
bird. Should severe or continued
looseness of the bowels follow
the feeding of green cut bone 1t
should be discontinued or the
quantity reduced.

the best tests of vitality and vigor.
Susceptibility to such changes shows
a lack Of robustness of constitution
and a poor circulation of blood, and
birds that are seriously affected by
sudden changes of temperature should
not be retained for breeders or have
a place in the flock which Is expected
to produce winter eggs.
Causes Of Weaknesses.
This is true il the fault is with the
birds themselves and not with the
may put the best and most healthful
flock out of condition. Bad ventila-
ton of poultry houses, improper feed
ing-either undertaking or overfeed-
ing, and especially the too free use
of highly concentrated feed to force
growth or egg production-are COM
mon causes which make naturally
sound and healthy fowls unduly sus-
ceptible to ordinary weather changes.
Appropriate size and type and. the
vitality that gives and expresses per-
feet health and condition are essen
tials in mating standard poultry for
practical results. Every poultry raiser
who desires a utility flock of birds
of uniform appearance should not neg
lect to give any one of these essen
tials his careful consideration. They
are equally essential to the breeder
who desires to produce birds of high
exhibition quality, for with these es-
sentials as the foundation he can de-
yelOD show birds tha will he desirable
also for their practical qualities.
