House for 500 Chicks 
Will you send me specifications and 
plans for a chicken house that will hold 
500 chicks? I wish to put these chicks 
in about February 1. a. c. m. 
Pmcellville, Ya. 
As many as 500 baby chicks can be 
kept in any room large enough to contain 
a coal-burning brooder stove and givi? 
ample space for exercise and facilities for 
an outdoor run. but it is not advisable to 
brood that number together. It would be 
far better to build two colony brooder 
houses, each 8x12 ft., and divide this 
number into two flocks. From two to 
three hundred chicks in a flock are as 
many as will do well, without, at least, 
expert care, and it pays to divide large 
flocks. Any little building of approxi¬ 
mately the size mentioned, and high 
enough to permit the caretaker to enter 
without stooping, will make a suitable 
brooder house, but such houses are usu¬ 
ally built upon plank runners so that a 
team may be hitched to them to draw 
them to a new location each season. If 
your carpenter is not familiar with the 
construction of these small houses, and 
cannot look at one Upon some nearby 
poultry farm, full plans and specifications 
may be obtained by writing tbe poultry 
department of the New York State Col¬ 
lege of Agriculture at Ithaca, N. Y.. and 
asking, for their bulletin upon the con¬ 
struction of brooder houses. Your own 
State experiment station at Blacksburg, 
or the West Virginia one at Morgantown, 
can doubtless supply you with similar in¬ 
formation. M. h. D.

Turpentine for Obstructed Breathing 
I had two hens at one time that 
sounded as though they had the croup. I 
thought they had the roup, and proceeded 
at once to kill one of them and burn her. 
and then experiment with the other. I 
poured about 10 drops of turpentine 
(medicinal quality! down this chicken 
and placed her in a barrel with a board 
over the top just big enough to keep her 
from flying out. and in 16 hours I took 
tbe board off, and she flew away, per¬ 
fectly well. Another time I had a 
rooster, borrowed for breeding purposes, 
and he got the same trouble. The same 
treatment was applied, with some turpen¬ 
tine and lard rubbed on his neck, from 
ear to ear. and then I sat and held him 
for an hour with a cold compress on his 
neck. After that time he could run and 
crow ns loud as any. C. G. G. 
Salem, O. 
These fowls very likely had a fungus 
growth at the entrance of the windpipe 
that caused mechanical obstruction to 
breathing, and the turpentine was suffi¬ 
cient to remove it. It was good treat¬ 
ment, even if administered at a hazard. 
When a fowl suddenly evinces difficulty 
in breathing, the mouth should be opened 
and the throat examined as far down as 
it can be seen. Sometimes a yellowish, 
cheesy growth may be seen just at the 
entrance of the windpipe that can be re¬ 
moved by swabbing with a hit of cotton 
twisted upon the end of a sliver of wood. 
Very likely moistening the cotton with 
turpentine would aid the process; that 
liquid seemed to be effectual in the case 
of your birds. M. B. D.
