POULTI(Y
TO DISCOURAGE BROODY HENS t
C
There Are Many Ways of Breaking a
Up Broodiness-Coop With Slat- C
ted Bottom Is Excellent.
The end of- the breeding season
seems to be the appointed time for
hens to get broody. Earlier in the
year when their services would have
been most welcome great difficulty
was experienced in finding sufficient
4 to sit on the desired number of eggs. 1
5 August is too late for the utilizing of C
y their broodiness unless a few duck I
eggs be set under some of them. At t
this time, too, the scarcity of eggs.
makes it the dsire of all, poultry
Iceepers to brealk up their "broodies"
and have them laying again as soon as
possible.
There are many way# of breaking
hens of broodiness, and the more bar
barous ones such- as tying the hen up f
by one leg, throwing cold water over t
her, or making her stand. in water
should be forgotten and practiced no
longer. The same and better results,
can be obtained by more human maeth
ods.
Placing the hen in an ordinary coop,
with a slatted bottom, and suspending t
the coop from the ceiling of the
t
C
t
Coop for Broody Hens.
scratching pen about a foot above the
floor by wires or chains attached to
the four corners has been found effi
cacious. A gentle swing whenever en.
tering the pen will soon make the
birds desirous of joining their more
busy companions. A little Epsom I
salts given in a mash and an abundant 8
supply of green food should be given. I,
All foods which have the slightest S
tendency toward heat production, such v
as corn, meat scraps, etc., must be
withheld for a few days.
Take the bird in time. It is prac
tically Impossible to break a hen
after allowing her to sit on a nest a
for two or three days,
It should always be remembered I
that in the ordinary course of nature
a hen that has laid persistently all
winter and spring, demands a short
rest, which broodiness gives.
ONE HOT WEATHER TROUBLE
When Diarrhea First Makes Its Ap
pearance It May Be Checked by
Use of Charcoal.
(By H. B3. SPECK.)
Diarrhea is one of the most cam
mon hot weather troubles in poultry
of all ages, and when it makes its ~
t
first appearance, charcoal freely fed
may check or control the disorder. Di
arrhea may be due to food or drink
ing water being foul wvith droppings e
or other filth; to feeding impure,a
musty and moldy food; to overheat. I
ing; to feeding in dusty, musty or I
-moldy litter; to unclean quarters and
dampness; to overfeeding on meat
food or feeding spoiled meat; to eat- o
- ing poisoned substances or to indiges
tion from any cause. The first thing
to do when diarrhea makes its ap
pearanco Is to find the cause and re
move it. Drinking from filthy pools ..
in unclean runs after a sudden show.
er, or drinking barnyard seepage is1
a common cause of diarrhea in hot
Lweather.
Watch the grit box.
Keep all your houses wide open(
day and night.
Don't crowd your birds. Give them
-all the range you can.
See thqt your little chicks haveI
plenty of shade and water.
Sell the rooster and buy an alarm
'clock. It's more useful now.
Wheat and oats are better hot
weather feeds than corn and Kafir.

NOTES s;.e
ROOK
Never excite a dairy cow.,
Furnish homes for the birds.
Comfort is cheaper than corn.
The colt needs good attention.
The charge of milkers is, as a rule,
detrimental.
Clip the horse. It will help to keep
him healthy.
Irregular times of milking are al
ways damaging.
Plenty of shade for yarded poultry
fBocks now is required.
It is not a good plan to mix warm
milk with that already cooled.
Keep the chicks growing. They will
appreciate any tender green feed.
For the fence flying habit, try clip
ping the larger feathers off one wing.
Corn stalks are good fertilizer and
should be loft on the field after cut
ting.
Exercise is better laying stimulant
for the hens than heat-producing con
diments.
Eggs deteriorate rapidly in the pan
try or kitchen these days. Keep them
In a cool place.
Establish, it possible, a brand of
eggs which will in itself be guaran
tee of good quality.
A small box to sit upon is a great
back saver in the garden. Try one
when picking the currants.
Overfeeding of green cut bone Is
apt to cause leg troubles, diarrhoea,
bowel complaints and worms.
Nothing aids so much in destroy
ing a herd by tuberculosis as a poor
ly lighted and Illy ventilated stable.
Every heifer calf should have an
inheritance that will make it possible
for her to make a better cow than her
dam.
The cow with the big-gest appetite,
other things being equal, is the one
which will give the most milk and
butterfat.
If you wish that young heifer to
develop into a wild cow, turn her in
an out-of-the-way pasture where you
seldom see her.
The lower the temperature at churn
ing time the smaller will be the loss
of butter fat and the less washing the
butter requires.
Oftentimes the. .one who h'as dairy,
butter for sale must take his pay in
trade, while taose wvho sell cream get
nothing but cash.
A good way to strain milk is to put
meveral thicknesses of cheese cloth
over the can and hold the cloths in
place with clothes pins.
A large digestive tract should be
developed In the heifer so she will be
able to handle large quantities of food
when she reaches milking ago.
Manure does not improve the taste
or quality of the milk. See that th&.
cows a-re clean before milking, gype
cdally about the thighs and flanks.
Young turnip, cabbage and beet
plants make the best of greens. It is
but a small job to plant these at dif-.
ferent times, and they can he had all
summer.
Lack of care In feeding Is far and
away the most fruitful cause of trou
ble, and the man whosei horse is trou
bled with Indigestion has usually only
himself to blame.
If you haven't a silo, a small patch,
of roots will make succulence for.
your cows next winter. Mangels yield.
heavily per acre. Only a small amount
need to be planted.
According to the New York experi
ment station, the cost of food, per
chick, to weigh one pound, on ground
grain, Is three cents; on whole grain,
three and seven-tenths .cets.
If celery i-ots.quiokly i6 yolt cefl
it mag' ~.:ret~idsed In the Mrdeu
through te early winter by :baniing
up well and covering with boards- and
straw. Thene Is a frdsher favor when.
it Is kept near the soil than when
grown in the cellar.
