GOOD FOOD, GOOD CHICKENS. By Mrs. Zine Summers. I have read so many theories about the poultry business that I have al ways supposed certain conditions were absolutely necessary to get oggs". Last wall we moved co' our farm in Wisconsin too late to prepare for win ter. We hall only one tiny building in which we must house all kinds of stock. There was no room for my hens, s.o I. builta .platform about two and ohe-halhy eight feet over one end of the pig-pen, put two long .boxes crosswise of this and two poles from box to box.. These were nests and roosts. That and a space about four by four feet behind the cow was all the hen-house we had. .1 had ten pullets of unnamable breeds, hatched after June 20, 1912. Every one had its comb frozen last winter, and their floor was hoed off cnce when it was thawed enough to make that possible; their .drinking water froze solid pa. less than an hour nearly every day, and they had fresh water only twice a day. The Hens Persisted in Laying, I got the .first egg on Thanksgiving Day, and they have laid pretty regu larly since. I did not keep a record until January 1st. In January I got seventy-seven, in February eighty-six, and the first fifteen days in March they laid ninety-nine. Three different days in March those ten hens laid nine eggs. x , . . My Conclusions. I attribute my success to the care I Lave exercised in feeding. I have kept a hopper full of a dry mash compos ed of about two-thirds bran and one third ground feed half oats, half corn on tneir noor. i iea moist Dran alone,- mornings, and gave warmed ; waten About two or three o'clock I gave them a feed composed of vegeta bles (potatoes, parings, carrots, tur nips, onions and apples), any or all that I happened to have; and nearly every day one rabbit, pub through a food-cutter. I have also given them ground oyster-shell. Their space behind the cow I have kept covered with coal-ashes and cin ders, and have used medicated nest eggs. Ihey haven't been bothered v ith lice,( and they came out in the finest possible condition. They had "no dust-bath, no grit ex cept the oyster-shell, 'cinders and ground bones of rabbits, no constant supply of drinking-water, no scratch-ing-shed and no warm house. The only things they had in abundance were food and ventilation. A Cure For Chick Disease. Since Professor Metchnikoff demon strated the efficacy of sour milk in pro longing human life, the Connecticut Experiment Station at Storrs has tried it? effects in combating the disease known as white diarrhea in chickens, which seemed likely to sound the knell of the poultry industry in this coun try, as frequently 90 per cent of the chicks hatched die from it, with an average of 50 per cent for the United States alone. A bacillus in the ovary of the moth, er hen is the beginning of the trouble, and chicks from infected eggs have the disease when hatched. . Infection may spread from chick to chick and from hen to hen. The station exper iments showed that the lactic acid bacteria in spur milk would kill these germs and check the spread of . the disease, but it is highly important to procure eggs and stock from strains known to be free from the Infection. The work ot Storrs and New Haven, where Professor Hettger isolated the bacterium pullorum which causes the disease, has given the poultry in dustry a new lease of life. A large incubator manufacturer, who was considering retiring from the business. i3 reported to have decided to expend half a million dollars fo rthe increase of manufacturing facilities since the Connecticut experiments have shown the cause and remedy for the disease. Chicken Cholera. The disease known as chicken chol era Is: : the most fatal of all disease that affect the chicken family. , It is, however, not the most common. I am pleased to say.; It is, (nevertheless, very much dreaded by the poultry raisers of the South and West. It attacks turkeys as well as chickens. It is caused Joy a germ . that is taken, into the syetem , with the food and drink and perhaps by inhalation. At least, that is ' what the scientific men tell us who have been making it a study. But where these germs come from they have aot told us. We think think they are produced from germ like typhoid. We do. know that they come through filthy conditions. The symptoms are as follows: The fowl has a dejected appearance and does not plume itself as does the well fowl; it is. very thirsty, gapes often, and sometimes staggers from sheer weak ness.Comb and wattles lose their nat ural color, usually turning pale, but sometimes dark. There is dairrhoea, with a greenish discharge, or like sul phur, and water; afterwards thin and frothy, v Prostration follows, the crop fills with mucus, the breathing is heavy and fast, the eyes close and the wl soon dies. . The symptoms vary somewhat in dff erent fowls, but the peculiar color of the discharges and their 'frequency always tell the story. .The most sat isfactory way to deal with the disease is when first noticed immediately kill all affected ones and burn the carcass oi bury so deep that they will never come to the daylight again.; Having done this, begin h.& clean ing up work. No matter how clean things seem to be, go over the ground again, leaving ho stone unturned to freshen every inch of ground occupied by the fowls. After cleaning thorough ly fumigate the roosting houses by, closing them as tight as possible and set fire to a pound, of sulphur over which a pint 6f alcohol has been pour ed This will kill germ of every kind in the house. In the yards and places where the sick fowls have left their droppings wet the' ground thorou V lv with a solution of eight ounces of er. Use this freely all about the prem ises. For all fowls that show tne least signs of sickness give the fol lowing: Eucalyptus globulus, 10 drops of the strong ticture; common salt, 4 to 6 grains, and half a tea spoonful of ground cayenne pepper. One dose will usually start digestion and in twenty-four hours the fowl is ready for its feed. Sometimes a sec end dose is required to finish the work, end should be given at the end of twenty four-hours. If this remedy fails try then the following: One-half pound of Span ish brown, 1 ounce each of cayenne peper and black antimony. Mix well and give one teaspoonfull to each ten or twelve hens once a day until the trouble has disappeared from your flock. Be careful about the new stock that you-may purchase. Better put into quarantine until you are sure they .are well. Southern Rurelist. The Experiment Station Record tells of a White Leghorn hen in New Eng land weighing 3.2 pounds which laid in one year 257 eggs weighing on an average 1.8 ounces each. The eggs cold for $7.43, and the hen ate 110 pounds of feed costing $1.66; or a re turn over the cost of feed $5.77. The same hen laid two hundred eggs in her second year. American horses valunl tt nca?y five million dollars were exported last year. Canada purchased more than any other one country. The heating and burning of alfalfa hay in the, stack may be avioded by proper curing. FINTJfCES OF THE STATE. F.onds Being Gradually Sold Returns From Tax Assessments. Raleigh, N. C, (Special.) State Treasurer Lacy is finding. a slow but steady sale for the State bonds that failed to find bidders last June and he believes that he will have sold the en tire issue of $1,142,500 authorized by the last Legislature by the early Spring of 1914. Thus far nearly $500, 0C0 have been sold, this being, how ever less than half of the authorized issue. The boaids were to take care of the $659,221 deficit of the State treas ury that existed last March and to provide fo rthe permanent improve ment appropriations for State Institu tions made by the, Legislature at the ist session. Of course, since the fail ure of the bonds to find purchasers tho old deficit is being held intect by short-term , loans and the proceeds from the bonds sold applied to taking care of the most urgent permanent im provement proposisions from the State" institutions that were provided for by the Legislature. The ' Corporation Commission, as State tax commission, has not received enough of the county tax assessment returns for the 1913 tax listing to form pny comprehensive idea of what will be the status of the tax values under the new listing, but it looks like theer will be material increase. The com mission is just on the eve of taking up its annual task of assessing the taxes on corparotions throughout the State and the next result of this work which will require a couple of months! will have a very important bearing on the State's financial problem. State Treasurer Lacy is making exception ally strenuous efforts to see that the State license and special taxes under the Revenue Act are paid in the full est possible extent While there is no hope of wiping out the Sat's r:rep.nt deficit and some estimate that there may be additional of $200,000 a year added fo rthe next two years, there are those close to the affairs of State who really anticipate that when the net re sults of the new Revenue Act and the new tax-listing and corporation as sessments are rounded up and the revenue from these are in hand the State will be in surprisingly good con dition, and it may not be necessary for the special session of the Legis as to State finances after all. .Knocking Out Liquor as a Medicine. The props are being knocked out from under King Alcohol at a rapid rate. The doctors are coming to the conclusion that there are few if any cases of sickness in which the use of alcohol is really beneficial. On the contrary, it is .being contended that the case in which the use of alcoholic stimulant is not a direct deterrent to good results, is the exception. The New York Sun says that in the Inter national Congress of Physiotherapy recently convened in Berlin "Profes sor Ewald, perhays the most eminent clinical ; teacher in the Berlin Univer sity, gave-the coup de grace to al- , cohol as a stimulant when he . said he had reached the conclusion that in no infectious disease has the value of alcohol been proved and that it jH- "minishes the natural resistance to .the inroads of disease. The Sun holds that Professor Ewald's. contention confirms what every clear-visioned, physician , of experience has observed at the bedside, that whenever alcohol is administered it handicaps the pa tient , because it lovers the blood pressure ; it is a temporary spur to the failing heart, with a subsequent depression to which many a sick man has succumbed without realization of the cause of "heart' failure."
