Bedbugs in Henhouse; Age of Geese 
1. My bon house has become infested 
with bedbugs. How can i get rid of 
1 hem? 2, Are potatoes good or bad for 
hens? also ripe pumpkins fed raw? 3. 
How long does a goose live, and how old 
should they be kept? c. M. 
Wyoming. 
1. Are you sure that these are bed- 
hugs? There is a dove-cote bug that very 
closely resembles the bedbug and may be 
mistaken for it, and it may be possible 
that you have mistaken the very common 
red mite of poultry for the household in¬ 
sect, If the latter is true, painting the 
ends of the porches where they rest upon 
their supports, and all the other oracles 
and crevices within the buildings where 
these mites congregate and breed, with 
kerosene or some oil. will destroy them. 
Waste engine oil is good, but thorough¬ 
ness in finding the hiding places and sat¬ 
urating them with the oil are necessary. 
If a spraying pump is available, its use 
is advisable, and a strong solution of any 
one of the coal tar cattle dips may he 
used over the entire interior of your poul¬ 
try house. 
2. Potatoes and pumpkins may he safe¬ 
ly fed in reasonable quantities to laying 
fowls. 
3. Geese are said to live to the ago of 
40 years, though it is advised not to use 
a gander older than three years for breed¬ 
ing purposes. The females may be kept 
as long as desired for the production of 
eggs for hatching. M. B. D.

Blood Meal as a Substitute for Meat 
Scrap 
I am feeding the Cornell mash mixture 
to my hens. Can I substitute bloodmeal 
in place of the meat scrap with the same 
results, and how much bloodmeal would 
you use? The bloodmeal costs S I.ill) per 
100 lbs. and tests 83 per cent protein. 
The meat scrap costs $5,50 per 100 lbs, 
•and tests 55 per cent protein, n. d, m. 
Bloodmeal has ordinarily been too ex¬ 
pensive to feed to poultry, though I know 
of no other reason why it should not be 
used. It lacks the bone, which is a valu¬ 
able ingredient of poultry food. I can¬ 
not understand your getting bloodmeal 
at $1 less per hundredweight, than beef 
scrap costs, and, if I used it, T should he 
very careful to see that it was an un¬ 
spoiled product. Containing, as it does, 
practically 50 per cent more protein that! 
the beef scrap of which you speak, 1 
should feed correspondingly less of it. 
Blood meal is fed to pigs, calves and even 
horses and cattle, and, if there is any 
reason why it should not be given to 
poultry, aside from its excessive cost, T 
do not know of it. However, I have had 
no experience in its use. M. B. D. 
Catarrh or Roup 
I have about 400 Single Comb White 
Leghorn liens and pullets. Lately some 
kind of disease got among them; they 
will have one sore eye, the other one be¬ 
ing all Tight. 11 keeps the eye closed: 
will last for about two weeks, then it gets 
all right, Some now have both eyes sore, 
the whole bead swelling and full of pus. 
They will eat, seem well otherwise; just 
the sore eyes. S. K. 
Ohio. 
These hens are suffering from contag¬ 
ious catarrh, or roup. This disease is 
easily transferred from one fowl to an¬ 
other, and those that are siok should he 
promptly removed from the flock and kept 
by themselves until they have recovered. 
In case they do not promptly and fully 
recover, it will he better to kill and bury 
them than to return them to the flock to 
infect others. Keep them in warm, dry 
and comfortable quarters and, if you 
wish to treat them, wash out the eyes and 
nostrils several times daily with a warm 
solution of boric acid in soft water, one 
ounce to the quart. Uucured cases of the 
roup arc likely to Curry over the disease 
from one year to another, the trouble 
subsiding during warm weather, only + o 
break out again in the Winter, when the 
fowls are closely confined and subjected 
to the cold and dampness of Winter 
weather. M. b. d. 
Dizzy Fowls 
I have a Black Minorca rooster that 
for the past three months has spells of 
sitting hack onto his tail and flapping his 
wing as though he bad lost control of 
himself for the time being. He molted 
all right and looks like a very fine bird. 
Have you ever heard of anything similar 
to this case, and what do you call it? I 
also have a hen that has just started to 
act queer. She has- not quite finished 
molting and slic curls her head down un¬ 
der her breast and acts as though dizzy. 
What would you advise? j. n. w. 
Connecticut. 
These fowls are suffering from some 
nerve disturbance, possibly due to intes¬ 
tinal irritation from t ho presence of 
worms. Give each a tea spoonful of spir¬ 
its of turpentine mixed with an equal 
quantity of castor oil. The castor oil 
may he given again in a few hours if the 
first dose does not act as a physic. _ I 
should not use the rooster in the breeding 
pen, as, whatever the cause of his trouble, 
he is lacking in the constitutional vigor 
that is needed by all breeding birds.

THE HENYARD 
Hundreds 
of Dollars 
given for 
Poultry men’s 
Opinions 
r T'HE’ subject of how to 
A raise chicks is such an 
important one, that we 
believe a book devoted 
entirely to this subject, 
giving the methods and 
experiences of practical 
poultrymen, would be a 
valuable addition to any 
poultry library. 
In this new book we 
intend to compile the 
experiences of poultry- 
men with H-O Steam- 
Cooked Chick Feed, and 
will give several hun¬ 
dreds of dollars to poul¬ 
try raisers whose letters 
are accepted for publi¬ 
cation. 
H-0 Steam-Cooked 
Chick Feed has been 
found so valuable in re¬ 
ducing chick mortality 
and in making chicks 
grow and develop in 
record time, that these 
experiences should be 
of great value to poultry 
raisers everywhere. 
The conditions which 
govern the selection of 
the material which will 
make up the book are 
very liberal, so that 
every poultry raiser will 
have an opportunity to 
secure a prize, and get 
his experiences in print.

mation at once,
