HENS IN MANY FLOCKS
TROUBLED WITH WORMS.

| Lexington, KY. - Inquiries and spe-
cimens of sick chickens that have been
received from scores of farmers In all
parts of the state during the last few
months by the veterinary department
of the Kentucky Agricultural Expert
ment Station indicate that many Ken
lucky poultry flocks are dangerously
infested with worms, veterinarians of
the station say. Practically all hens
that have not ben treated probably are
troubled with few internal parasites
although the number is not large
enough to be serious in a number of
cases. In cases where the worms
have become serious, hens lose weight,
despite the fact that they are eating
heartily, and finally die. Veterinarians
| and poultrymen at the station have
suggested that farmers take steps to
rid their birds of the parasites before
| winter.
Whether or not worms are respon-
sible for the death of fowls can be de-
termined by opening the intestines
with pair of shears and observing
the tract from the gizzard to the caeca
commonly known as the two blind
sacks. If worms ore the cause of
death, they usually are quite evident
in large numbers in the small intes-
tine. Tapeworms, distinguished by the
we'll defined segments that make up
their length, and wire worms usually
are the most common in this part of
the tract. Worms in the caeca are
small and thread-like and usually
measure from quarter to half inch
long.
In treating for tape worms, a table
spoonful of concentrated I've is added
to a gallon of mash and stepped for
two hours. The treatment for wire
worms is make by covering pound of
chopped tobacco stems with watr and |
sleeping for two hours after which |
this mixture is added to a gallon of
mash. In giving either of the treat |
ments to hens, then are taken off feed |
the night before and fed the feed mix |
ture the following noon or afternoon. |
II necessary, the treatment should be |
repeated in about one week. II is we'll |
to follow the tobacco treatment with |
a dose of epson salts using one pound
for 100 hens in the drinking water.

LOVE OF RILEY
SUFFICIENT TO
SECURE FUNDS
Necessity for Organized Drive
Removed, Says Director
Reynolds.

Directors of the James Whitcomb Riley
Memorial Association, detailed plans for
a State wide campaign to complete the
fund of $4,000 at a meeting at the
University Club at noon today. John B.
Reynolds, general secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce, who has accepted the
position as campaign director, and was
approved by the board, presented plans
for the hospital which is to be erected
in Indianapolis. Mr.. Reynolds said a
money raising campaign would not be
necessary. He said considerable progress
has been made in getting together the
funds, although there had been no or
ganized effort. "The love Of Riley and
the real necessity Of a children's hospital
in Indiana mean that all that is
necessary is that the people know that
tn, plan is going TO be put through"
he added.
1t was announced that the association
expects to let the contract for the first
section of the hospital this summer.
TINS step will be necessary according
to L. C. Huesmann, chairman of the
finance committee, in order that the State
help of $4,000, as an initial pledge and
200 a year for the first two years and
$4,000 annually thereafter, be secured.
Detail plans and specifications for the
hospital will be given their first public
showing at a luncheon in the Riley room
Of the ClaypOOl Hotel Thursday noon.

to be present from Indianapolis and over
