143 farms, and of the total Of 49,445
birds whose egg production was re-
ported for this month, 18,778 were
bullets, 1905 were hens, and 1851
were hens and pullets in mixed flocks.
The average production from the hens
was 1871 eggs per bird, and the pull
lets laid on the average of 17.5 eggs,
while the mixed flocks produced 17.3
eggs per bird during this period.
Tie chief subject discussed by Mr..
Palmer in this report is the intestinal
disease known as coccidiosis which is
causing unusually heavy losses among
Young chicks in the State this season.
AS this disease is carried over from
one year to another in the soil, or by
old birds which have recovered from
this trouble, it is therefore more pre-
valent where young chicks are run
ming on ground that has been recently
run over by early broilers or old hens.
Coccidiosis attacks chicks when they
are from two weeks to four months
old, and the first symptoms Of the dis

Residents of Kirkwood and vicinity
have protested against the action of
the State Highway Department who
closed the road over the Pennsylvania
Railroad crossing at Kirkwood. A
petition signed BY more than 300 per
sons was recently presented to the
New Castle County Levy Court but
the Levy Court informed the petition
ers that the matter was in the hands
of the State Highway Department as
the Levy Court had no jurisdiction
over a road after it reached the prop
erty of the railroad company. Resi-
dents of that locality object to the
elimination Of the crossing at Kirk
wood because they say the detour
compels traffic to pass over a private
road.

ease are paleness of the beak and legs
followed by the feathers becoming
dirty and ruffled. The affected chicks
soon lose their appetite and become
inactive, and soon afterwards blood
will appear in the droppings. In some
cases, however, the bloody droppings
are among the first symptoms to be
noticed.
AS treatment for this disease, DR..
Frank Hare, State Poultry Disease
Specialist of the State Board of Ag-
riculture, is recommending the "Cali-
fornia Milk Ration" which consists
Of 40 pounds of dried skim milk, 10
pounds of wheat bran, 80 pounds of
yellow cornmeal, and 20 pounds of
ground barley, or oat meal. For con-
venience, however, most poultrymen
are mixing the 40 pounds of the dried
skim milk to so pounds of their reg
ular growing mash, and while the
dried skim milk is recommended, sew
eral of the poultry raisers have used
the dried buttermilk with good re
suits.
This milk ration should be kept in
hoppers before the young chicks for
ten days or two weeks, and only
small amount of grain should be fed
once day, or none at all. If grain
is fed, it should be added to the even
ing meal only, and care must be tax
en- to allow the chicks free access to
plenty of fresh drinking water during
this treatment. 1t is also advisable
to keep them well supplied with green
food in addition to this milk ration.
Keeping the chicks in the house
while they are being treated will aid
greatly in preventing coccidiosis from
communicating the soil or spreading to
other chicks on the farm. This milk
treatment will cause the bowels to be-
come very loose, requiring that the
house be cleaned almost every day and
fresh sand or dirt should be scattered
over the floor to absorb the moisture.
The cleanings from the house should
be hauled to a part Of the farm where
chicks will never be reared, and after
the treatment is completely the ground
the house should be plowed and lined
heavily as a precautionary measure
against this disease becoming estab-
lished again in the yard. The house
must also be thoroughly cleaned and
disinfected.
The fact that coccidiosis may be
carried on the feet of those who are
taking care of the chicks has been
demonstrated on several poultry
farms this season where apparently
every precaution has been taken to
keep the houses and yards clean and
disinfected. Some of the poultrymen
who have known that their yards were
contaminated with the germs of this
disease, have kept their chicks con-
stantly confined to the houses, and in
spite Of this preventative measure,
their young chicks in several instanc-
es, contracted this trouble which re
suited in heavy losses, showing that
these germs may be carried from one
place to another in this manner.

AT KIWANIAN MEETING EXPLAINS ROENTGEN RAY
Dr. Arthur S. Grant Tells What It Does and How It
 Functions

How Professor Roentgen discov- cred by accident the ray which was named the X-ray. and later was called the "Roentgen ray" was ex- plained to the Kiwanis club today by Dr. Arthur S. Grant, former president of the New Britain Med lcal society. Dr. Grant, who for eight years was X-ray expert at the New Britain General hospital and who last week opened his own X-ray hospital in the Commercial Trust building, explained how the X-ray works. He said it was found in 1895 by the accidental discovery that high tension current of a certain type can be put through a vacuum tube in such a manner as to produce short wave length, be- yond the known light spectrum. This wave length can penetrate matter Some matter, being of a. greater density than others, is penetrated with more difficulty. It is because of this, he said, that bones and oth- CT denser parts of body, or dense metals, can be shown by the ray.
 He described the Horoscope, which Is an X-ray used under a different situation, and pointed out that the X-ray also has certain palli- ative and curative effects. Under certain circumstances the X-ray in hibits germs" he said.
