celled as winter layers are quiet
and gentle and stand confinement
well The hens make good sitters
- and icareful mothers The chicks

When first hatched they are black
marked with a canary color on
liead and breast which disap
pears when feathered They often
retains few white feathers in the

pullets 6 pounds To sum up they
are a grand beautiful and useful
fowl and to all who like or are com

Best Food for Laying Hens
Almost every poultryman adopts
a method of feeding all his own
and pins his faith to it He suits
the rations tojthe surroundings and
exercises a goodly supply of com
mon sense in the work of caring for
his hens
If situated in a cold climate the
deficiency of heat must be ar
tificially supplied not in houes
alone but likewisein the food which
assists in maintaining animal heat
If on the contrary he be situated
in a hot climate he will endeavor to
so regulate both the house and food
that the hens will not be made to
suffer on account of heat
Many conditions tend to make a
-fixed ration impracticable There-
fore each poultry raiser must to a
that his is the proper way and no
doubt it is but must not by any
means be selected for every locality

Treatment of Roup
Roup is amenable to curative
remedies and with wise treatment
the ravages of the disease could be
greatly lessened Most important
of all is the necessity of preventing
the spread of the disease There
should be in connection with every
farm a pest house where all those
fowls affected may be isolated and
treated It is unwise tokill all the
fowls affected since careful treat
ment will usually cure After the
fowls are cured they should be kept
isolated for a time to be sure that
all germs are dead And when
any additions are made to the flock
they should at first be quarantined
for many days until it is certain
that they are free from the disorder
before they are allowed to mingle
with the other fowls In addition
to this fowls once affected should
never be used for breeding It is
by no means certain that the dis
order is hereditary but the ap
pearance of the disease among
very young chickens leaves ground
for suspicion on this point But
more important than this is the ine
vitable weakening of the vitality
and the consequent weakened off
spring
The therapy of the disease con
sists in placing the chickens in
comfortable quarters and seeing
that thev secure an abundance of
rich food It is reported from
Washington N C and Raleigh
N C that many cases of the dis
ease were cured by use of these
means alone In the outline of the
etiology we indicated a course of
several stages with attendant
symptoms and after passing
through this under favorable con
ditions the patient recovers The
disease may be arrested in the
early stages by warmth and care
A few simple remedies are recom
mended An antiseptic wash such
as dilute carbolic acid 1 2000 solu
tion of HgCl corrosive sublimate
or lysol Kerosene is often use as
a local remedy Besides this
Hege Bulletin No 152 N C Ag
ricultural Experiment Station rec
ommeuds the use of Epsom salts
as a purgative dose others recom
mend oil or turpeutine for this pur
pose Where the exudate collects
in the eye it should be carefully re
moved and the eye washed with
an antiseptic solution e g perox

Ordinarily a morning mash of Mr- Wilcox a successful poultry

This appears
atnonjr chicks
rather than hens and is caut ed by
crowding at night and too little
exercise
There is stiffness in walking and
even an inability tsMnove
Reduce the number of such cases
by removing birds from each
brooder so the whole- number re
maining shall not exceed fifty I
I am not bure that this number is not
too many out at any rate miy
chicks are all that ever should be
allowed to be in one flock
Having the number right next
turn your attention to the tempera
ture of the brooder Have the heat
plenty enough so that the chicks
will not hae to huddle together to
keep warm
Furnish heat so that the chicks
will sleep near the fringe of the
mother All brooders are not
built to raise healthy chicks
Mauy are lacking in malJing little
if any provision for supplying pure
air There are more good incuba
tors than good
brooders A P J
A Good Record
The egg famine of several weeks
ago has at last been solved and the
blame of it all can be leid to one
well known Paducah man It was
not caused by the scarcity of eggs
but because certain hens laid so
many that the others quit the busi
ness
Mr A Franke has in his possess
ion forty two hens not common
everyday chickens but hens that
are experts in the egg business
During the months of January
February March and April four
disagreeable months these same
hens furnished their owner with
2559 eggs
This is an indisputable fact and
a record heretofore unequaled

Hirsute Statistics
Blonde hair is finer than that of
any -other color By actual count

hairs to the square inch grow up
on the head of a blonde beauty
The brown comes next with 350 then
come the black with 325 and the red
with 259 or 260 After counting the
hairs growing on an inch square it
has been established that on the
head of a blonde there will be about
149000 hairs while a brown suit of
tresses will have 109000 a black
102000 and a red 90000
