OF INTEREST TO FARMERS
Edited by T. NJ. Cathcart
Sorshead And Limberneck

Sorehead And Limbeneck
Sorehead has made its appearance
on a good many farms in the county,
and number of fowls have died from
this disease. Mold in some form to
which the chickens have access IS
responsible for this disease. Moldt
Grain and particularly moldy corn,
moldy melons, mold in the weeds, OF
moldy litter and scratching mate
rial are predlspoSing causes OF
sorehead epidemic. To overcome this
disease try at once to locate and re-
move the source Of infection. Then
send sixty cents to the Westmore-
land Chemical and Color Co., Phiia-
delphia. for bottle of For-Sul, the
bcsr and cheapest remedy. Ado one
teaSpoonful to quart OF water anu
;mmerse the head OF each chicken
in the solution for fifteen seconds.
This enables the remedy to act on
the air passages in the head and
clear them of mucous. Two duckingS
daily for two days will cure practl-
cally all cases. Exterior applications
of salves, grease or liquids are use
less.
The only other solution recon-
mended is teaspoonful of creolln in
g. quart of water. Immerse the heads
as previously advised. If chickens
are kept away from mold they will
not have sorehead
AS is generally known, limberneck
is caused by eating decomposed
flesh. The magets found in this put
rid flesh are harmful to poultry.
First, remove and bury any dead
animal or bird. Buy little asafedi-
"a. Cut off a piece the size OF pea
and give this amount to each chicken
three times daily. Three doses are
usually sufficient to effect COM
plete cure. Chickens that could bare
ly move and were almost dead have
been brought back to normal health
BY means of this simple remedy.

meetings held next week by the

this county, and has many friends
who would like to see him again.
MIR. Mills is one of the best inform
men on Rural Life in this State, and
always has something worthwhile to
say.
