Loss of Feathers 
Why do some of in.v chicks lose their 
feathers on their backs? It begins in 
iront. of the tail, and looks as if the feath¬ 
ers had been eaten off, although I cannot 
notice any lice. E. n. b. 
Probably the work of the depluming 
mite. Bub some sulphur ointment into 
the skin of the bare places. This mite 
works in the skin at the base of the feath¬ 
ers and causes them to become loosened 
and broken and to fall out. Little barm, 
except to personal appearance, is done by 
them, but they are usually easily killed by 
such measures as are recommended above.

Brooder Pneumonia 
Our chicks had no diarrhoea, but had 
all the other symptoms of brooder pneu¬ 
monia. Also they became puffy, and 
seemed transparent ; when held to the 
light it seemed as if you could see 
through them. So far as I know, there 
was nothing moldy either in their litter 
or their food, and for the second lot of 
chicks I took all the old litter out and 
replaced it with now. Is the disease con¬ 
tagious? That is, would a set of chicks 
put in a house where it bad been, lie 
likely to get it? Will there be danger of 
an outbreak of the trouble another year 
if 1 give the houses a thorough spray¬ 
ing? J. U. R. ‘ 
Brooder pneumonia may spread from 
chick to chick b.v the transference of the 
fungus causing it, and it should be guard¬ 
ed against as any communicable disease 
would he; that is. by destroying the car¬ 
casses of (lead birds and cleaning up and 
disinfecting Quarters and utensils. It is 
thought that this fungus may be trans¬ 
mitted through eggs that have been in 
contact with vegetables or other matter 
containing it. and that some outbreaks in 
'brooder chicks arc caused by this method 
of transmission. With a thorough clean¬ 
ing and disinfection of incubators and 
brooders, not forgo!tirfg the value of sun 
and air in accomplishing this, 1 should 
not expect the disease to be continued in 
the poultry yard or to be carried over to 
another year. The spores, or eggs, of 
this fungus are very resistant, but, since 
their haunts are known to be in musty 
and decaying vegetable matter and in 
moldy grain and like places, it should not

JUSTA POULTRY FARM -:- SOUTHAMPTON. N. Y. 
Size of Henhouse 
I am planning to build a poultry-house 
to house 10<i hens (Rhode Island Reds 
and Barred Rivks). What length and 
width of house is advised, also height in 
front and rear, kind of material for the 
frame and quantity needed? g. s. 
A house 1^x24 ft. in size would be 
very suitable for 100 large fowls, giving 
them ample floor space and providing for 
some increase in the size of the Hook at 
times. A somewhat smaller house could 
of course he used, but 1 should not build 
oue less than 16 ft. deep or with less 
than ‘d sq. ft. of floor space for each 
fowl. If a simple shed roof is used, the 
front of a 20-ft. house should he at least 
1 > ft. in height, and perhaps 10 ft. would 
be better. This height will permit 
windows extending nearly to the plate 
to admit sunlight well back toward 
the rear of the building. Where a 
double piieh roof, with short rafters 
in front and long ones in the rear are 
used, a height of 7 ft. for the front wall 
is customary, but this of course is open 
to the objection of keeping the direct 
rays of the sun from penetrating to the 
rear of the building A rear wall of 5 
ft. in height is sufficient. There is no 
one kind of butldiug material to be ad¬ 
vised. Whatever can be had locally 
within the price one is willing to 
pay should be used. If a frame 
building is constructed 2x4 in. stuff 
may be used for sills, girths and 
plates, and 2x6 in. timbers for rafters. 
In a 20-ft. house it would probably be 
best to support the rafters by posts from 
the floor at their centers. The walls 
may he built of matched stuff iu single 
thickness or in any other way desired. 
They should be airtight, however. Local 
prices and available materials should 
govern one very largely in building.
