THE HENYARD 
Drinking Water for Poultry; Cooking 
Woodchucks 
1. Has it ever been proven that a 
change in the source of drinking water 
served to a flock of yearling hens would 
retard an intensive layifig production? 
Is there any advantage in boiling the 
drinking water given to baby chicks? 2. 
Can you give some suggestions as to the 
best ways to prepare woodchuck meat for 
the table?. Several articles have appeared 
recently about woodchuck meat, but I 
have not seen anything pertaining to ways 
of cooking it. 0 . C. F. 
1. I do not believe that it has ever 
been shown that the source of drinking 
water bad anything to do with the egg 
production of a flock, provided that the 
water was pure and wholesome. If the 
hens were driven to the water, instead of 
the water being brought to the bens, how¬ 
ever, it might make a difference. liens 
do not like any change in scenery. If 
there was any suspicion of contamination 
by disease germs, boiling the water given 
to young chicks would be advisable, pro¬ 
vided that pure water could not be more 
easily obtained. Otherwise, it would not 
be. 
2. I do not know how to prepare wood¬ 
chuck meat for the table, though it is 
eaten by a considerable number of people. 
I judge that it should be cooked about as 
rabbits are. .Since making the above 
statement I have consulted a text book 
on cookery found upon the pantry shelf, 
and find this statement therein: “Rac¬ 
coons. skunks and opossums are eaten by 
many people, but as I have had no ex¬ 
perience in cooking the above animals, I 
will merely state that they may be cooked 
in all the ways that rabbits are, and 
served the same." I now feel that my 
judgment with regard to rooking wood¬ 
chucks is confirmed by no less authority 
that Mrs. S. T. Roret*. for it is she whom 
I have been quoting. Still, I don’t know 
how to cook rabbits. M. B. D.

Chicks Die in Shell 
What makes chicks die in the shell? 
There are quite a few that started to 
hatch ; the shell broke all around the ogg 
aud the chicken could not got out. My 
duck eggs are doing the same thing. 1 
had sprinkled the eggs with some hike- 
warm water. I hail a lot of goslings 
which have all died but a few. They 
would fall right over on their backs anil 
die. They were lousy; I greased their 
heads and under the wings with separator 
oil. I greased the sitting hens with the 
oil, too, and was careful not to get any 
on the eggs. I have seven of the little 
goslings left that 1 greased, and they are 
all right. j. u. 
Chicks that fail to emerge from the 
shell at hatching time, though fully de¬ 
veloped, are usually chicks that lack 
strong vitality, though, ol’ course, faulty 
incubation may destroy the vitality of 
vigorous embryos. In the case of sitting 
hens. I should look for the trouble either 
in lack of vigor in the breeding stock or 
failure to care for the hatching eggs 
properly before they were placed under 
the liens. This is assuming that (he hens 
attended properly to their duties while 
sitting and that no accident happened to
