Leg Weakness 
My little chicks give way in their legs; 
their legs stick out to one side, backwards 
and out forward. I feed buttermilk and 
oatmeal. j. c. P. 
Virginia. 
Perhaps you are keeping these chicks 
eon lined to their brooder or upon a board 
lloor for too long a time, and thus pro¬ 
ducing "leg weakness.’’ If you are, try 
letting them out upon the ground, giving 
them au opportunity to g>< back and 
forth from a warm brooder to an outside 
run at will. There are other causes of 
weakness in young chicks, shown by loss 
of use of the legs, but close confinement 
is prohably the most common one, and ii 
is to he avoided by giving the baby chicks 
an outdoor run upon the ground as soon 
as possible after hatching. About two 
weeks of confinement upon floors is as 
long as chicks can endure without losing 
vigor and becoming weak in the legs.

Winter Molt 
What causes shedding of feathers from 
hens at this time of year? My hens were 
shedding feathers last July; they molted 
at the proper time, and now they have 
started again, and it has completely 
stopped their laying. h. o. 
Pulaski, N. Y. 
You have done something to these 
fowls; just what, I don’t know, but you 
have certainly administered a shock to 
their nervous systems or disarranged their 
digestive habits. Here are a few of the 
things that might start molting in the 
Winter and stop laying: Changing the 
quarters of the fowls; changing the 
method and hours of feeding, making some 
sudden aud material change in the ration ; 
may be you let them get out of mash aiui 
fed whole grain for a day or two, or may 
be you changed the composition of the 
ration suddenly: lighting the henhouse 
and changing the meal hours all at once, 
or doing any one of a lot of things that 
the fowls had not become accustomed to. 
It. doesn't take as much as you may think 
to so upset a hen that she will go into 
a partial molt and stop laying. All neces¬ 
sary changes in feeding or care should he 
made gradually, even to changing the 
composition of a mash used. A review 
of your care of these lowls just previous 
to their molting will prohably bring to 
your mind just what you did, and my 
Curiosity is sufficiently aroused to make 
me wish to know. Think carefully ; don’t 
say that you haven’t done anything.

Bungalow Poultry Farm & 0 %Sl!ilWSL , Sf5: 
A finite a hoe tree on his own land in 
Oetober, 1021. cuts his initials on the 
tree and feeds bees sugar all the Fall, 
expecting to hive them in the Spring. B 
comes along in December and cuts the 
tree unknown to A. Could A sustain au 
action for damage against B, or what 
would be his redress? J. A. S. 
New York. 
Yes, B is guilty of trespass and willful 
damage to A’s property nud can he prose¬ 
cuted for the same. The fact that bees 
occupy a tree upon a mnu’s land does 
not give some one else the privilege of 
entering upon that land and destroying 
(he tree. In any action for damages, 
however, you will have to take info con¬ 
sideration the old custom of cutting bee 
trees wherever found, and the likelihood 
of a jury deciding that the defendant 
was only, following an ancient practice, 
and therefore, in a measure at. least, 
justified in his action. If you can show 
that B knew the owner of the tree had 
marked it and was feeding the bees pre¬ 
paratory to hiving them later, I think any 
jury would he likely to award you some¬ 
thing more in the way of damages than a 
few cents for trespass, but when it comes 
to that your court costs would undoubt¬ 
edly far more than eat up any amount 
that you would receive, and leave you 
out. not only the bees, but good money 
as well. m. b. D.

Inbreeding 
I wrote you last Spring about a Rhode 
Island Red hen named Mathilda that I 
thought was a good layer, so I kept a 
record for (lie year, and she gave me 253 
eggs from December 27, 1020. to Decem¬ 
ber 27, 1021, and then started to molt. 
She commenced laying again February 9, 
1022. I have 30 of her pullets and four 
of her sons. What shall I do to breed 
them? Will it do to breed brother and 
sister and mother and son, or should I 
get new stock? t. a.d. 
Connecticut. 
There is no objection to inbreeding if 
intelligently done nud with careful selec¬ 
tion as to vigor and freedom from defects 
which may be perpetuated and intensi¬ 
fied. It is by Inbreeding I lint families of 
exceptional quality are built up. but the 
same process by which good qualities are 
intensified may be made to produce de¬ 
terioration if carelessly or ignorantly 
used. The sons of this high-producing 
dam. if vigorous, dell-developed aud of 
good type, should be of exceptional value 
in the breeding pen, and I should not in¬ 
troduce new blood into the flock.
