He declared that bitterness and

said:

Decoration day had added 900

to throw the super-weight of ma

Feeling Bad

would call sick. only stupid, sleepy and

nuisances. and it is false notion to
think that you are sick every time you
feel bad For health is a queer crea-
ture; it seldom remains in a perfect
condition, nurse or abuse it as you
choose, it always acts according to its
own laws. These feeling bad conditions
are often due to changes of the season
of the year, like spring, when the sap
is going up and the feeling bad is going
down. They are due largely to the de-
posits of invisible little crystals of Uric
Acid in the blood and kidneys. These
little crystals are at times very irritat-
ing. and unless removed are going to

DOUIIM'NOlf(


Watch your flock carefully and as
soon as one member shows disease
remove it.
It is easy to keep your hens
healthy if you know the laws Of
health and practice them.
Close confinement without exercise
is not conducive to the best results
in the poultry yard.
Geese are not like hens. Old geese
lay better than young geese and old
ganders are better than young ones.
The weather is something, but the
hen is more. Have your hens in a
laying condition and they will lay in
spite Of weather.
The dust bath is recommended high
ly for farm flocks but it should not be
the only means of preventing lice as
some birds will not dust themselves
thoroughly.

EPSON SALTS FOR CHICKENS
Many Digestive Troubles May Be
Overcome by Purging or Cleans
ing the Intestines.

A great many chickens suffer from
Indigestion or digestive troubles,
which may be due to improper feeding
or some method of management, It
has been found that many of these
conditions may be overcome by purg-
ing or cleansing the intestines through
some means of a laxative. One Of the
cheapest and easiest handled laxa-
tives is epson salts. which al be pur.
chased at any drug store. For ma
ture fowls the dosage is one-half tea
spoonful per bird though if the case
Is minor, one-third teaspoonful may
be sufficient. An easy and effective
way of administering this is to mix it
with a dry mash of bran and shorts,
using the above proportions and aft
erwards moistening it with water.

CURE FOR POULTRY DISEASES
Use Of Vaccine Has Considerable
Value in Correcting Ailments,
Says Professor Lewis.

Prof. Harry r. Lewis Of New Jersey
college before a recent meeting at the
Connecticut station said the use Of
vaccine in the cure of poultry dis
eases has considerable value. Profess
sor Lewis told of trying out a vaccine
on hens afflicted with chicken pox and
roup and the successful results. He
believes that other diseases may be
treated by the vaccine plan. The next
step at the New Jersey station will
be an effort to immunize pullets
against chicken pox or roup by vac
chatting while young and before they
have been exposed to the disease.
