A great many chickens suffer from

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-
lives is epson salts. which can be pur-
chased at any drug store. For ma
ture fowls the dosage Is one-haif tea

is minor. one-third teaspoonful may
be sufficient. An easy and effective
way Of administering this is to mix IT
