Cannibal Chicks 
I have 300 S. ('. Whit" Leghorn chicks, 
four weeks old. 1 am feeding them chick 
size grain three times a day. They have 
a buttermilk mash before them in hoppers 
throughout the day, as well as charcoal, 
grit, and plenty of fresh drinking water. 
1 find them picking each other’s feet; 
they act perfectly wild to get to the 
blood. At present 1 have about 30 chicks 
aside, all with dappled feet. Can you 
suggest a remedy? They surely net like 
a lot of cannibals. o. h t 
North Bergen, X, ,T. 
(Jive these chicks all the liberty pos¬ 
sible. with sufficient outdoor range to 
keep them busy looking for hugs and 
worms instead of at each other’s feet. 
(Jive them cut clover or other tender 
green stuff in abundance and. above all, 
plenty of room. Watchfulness will also 
be necessary to remove any injured 
chicks. This vice is encouraged, if not 
caused, by close confinement and keeping 
large Hocks together. The method of 
feeding seems to have little to do with it. 
Once acquired, it is hard to break up. A 
large outdoor range is the best preventive 
that I know of. m. b. d. 
milk may also he allowed if the horse 
does not get sufficient nourish meat from 
the other feeds mentioned. In the way 
of treatment gi/e fluid extract of nux 
vomica twice daily, starting'with 20 drops 
at. a dose and increasing the dose a drop 
every other day. (Jo hack to the first dose 
and tepeat the treatment if any alarming 
symptom, such as involuntary twitching 
of the muscles or great restlessness, is 
caused. Also give half an ounce of Fow¬ 
ler's solution of arsenic night, and morn¬ 
ing until great improvement is seen; then 
gradually discontinue the medicine, tak¬ 
ing at least 10 days to the process. Local 
treatment consists iu clipping olT the hair 
and blistering the poll of the head, tem¬ 
ple and cheek with a mixture of one dram 
each of biniodide of mercury and pow¬ 
dered canlburides and 1 Yj ounces of lard.

Ration for Chicks 
I have 100 White Leghorn chicks two 
months old, which have mash and scratch 
feed, mash in hopper open all the time. 
How many quarts of scratch feed should 
they have, and should they be fed more 
as they grow older? j. w. n. 
These chicks should he fed scratch feed 
two or three times daily, in addition to 
having the mash constantly before them. 
Live all that they will quickly clean up 
at a feeding, whether one quart or two. 
and increase the amount as the needs of 
the growing birds require. A little later, 
if the chicks have ample range, the 
scratch grains may also be fed in hop¬ 
pers, making hand feeding unnecessary. 
It is probably better to band feed the 
grain, however, if the chicks are confined 
to limited quarters. m.*b. D.

Loss of Chicks 
I have a flock of White Leghorn chicks 
eight weeks old that have done well so 
far. They are the finest ones in the 
neighborhood for their ages, as .they 
weigh about 1% lbs. The cockerels’ combs 
are an inch high ami very rod. They 
have been fed on chick scratch grains and" 
buttermilk starting mash, with nothing 
to drink blit buttermilk. The first two 
weeks 1 had I hem I lusl eight out of 100. 
and lost no more till (his week I found 
one of the pullets dead. Her crop was 
full and her comb seemed red. but around 
her vent and for an inch below it her 
flesh was a real bright green. Now I 
have three more that arc moping. Last 
night I gave them all a dose of salts. 
These last three do not seem to have an 
appetite. I am very careful about their 
drinking vessels. C. 0. 
East Akron, O. 
I cannot suggest any better treatment 
for those ailing chicks than a moderate 
dose of castor oil or salts and then light 
feeding for a few days. They should 
have all the liberty possible and plenty 
of green stuff with their other food. The 
development of these chicks suggests that 
von have pushed them pretty hard with 
high protein food, and you may avoid 
further I rouble by feeding them a little 
more lightly and using less buttermilk 
and meat scrap, if the latter has formed 
a part of their ration. Cornmeal. wheat 
bran and middlings and ground oats will 
assure their growth without forcing them 
too rapidly. If they have plenty of but¬ 
termilk or skim-milk to drink, they do 
not need meat scrap or buttermilk in 
their mash, and an excessive amount of 
these high protein foods may be disas¬ 
trous. M. n. 1>.

Souring Milk for Chicks 
Will you advise us as to a culture that 
will sour milk evenly and rapidly, for 
feeding to baby chicks? We want to 
make a practice of feeding it sour, so as 
to avoid the sudden changes from sweet 
to sour, believing this would cause us 
trouble. Are we right ? XV. ii. s. 
Flerningtou, N, .7, 
The souring of milk may be hastened 
by adding to it some clean, wholesome 
sour milk from a previous day's supply. 
The added milk should not be from dirty 
vessels. Pure cultures of the Bacillus 
Bulgaiicus may be obtained to bring 
about tliis soaring, but such a refinement 
of procedure suggests the* diet kitchen of 
a modern hospital, rather than practical 
feeding of the poultry farm. 
Must poultry men believe that the uj ilk 
fed should not alternate from sweet to 
sour. Whether there is any basis in 
fact for this belief I do not know. I can 
see no reason why such changes should do 
harm. The milk iu either case certainly 
does not long remain sweet after being 
swallowed. Perhaps, to be on the safe 
side, it would be better to do as you plan, 
but why not try it out on a small lot of 
chicks that are willing to form a diet 
squad? See if you can upset their diges¬ 
tion by giving sweet milk one day. sour 
the next. ;u. jj, j>.

Ailing Chicks 
I have o flock of White Leghorn chicks 
about six weeks old. When little there 
was some white diarrlaoa among them, 
but this was controlled. The last two 
weeks some just stop eating, stand around 
droopy a few days, then die. I lose one 
or two a day. (’an you tell me where the 
trouble is? The first hatch seemed en¬ 
tirely healthy. \v. c. c. 
Wyoming. Del. 
It is evident that the second lot of 
chicks from the same breeding flock lack 
the vitality with which the first were en- 
dowed and are succumbing to ailments 
which the first were aide to resist, but I 
am not able to tell you why. This is 
often found to be the case with chicks 
hatched early and those from the same 
flock produced late in the season, but 
your flocks were both early hatched. If 
there is no infection, like white diarrhma, 
in the second Hock. I should not expect a 
heavy mortality after six weeks of age. 
and true white diarrhea should have 
shown itself well under four weeks.

Gapes 
I have a flock of Leghorn chicks now 
two weeks old. They did well until they 
were one week old ; thou they started to 
pick each other's feet. I was advised to 
let them out into the run. Two days all 
wrut well, until next morning I found 
quite a number of them gaping. That 
same day one of the old hens started to 
breathe noisily, and before long most of 
the old hens were infected. The old hens 
(lid not come in contact with the chicks at 
all. hut to me the symptoms look the 
same. So far I lost about 50 of the 
chicks and it looks as if the whole batch 
might go. I keep taking the sick ones 
out. Those not infected are lively 
enough. Could you advise me what to 
do about it? e. k. 
Connecticut. 
The little chicks may have picked up 
gape worms from the run. if rlmr is an old 
one that has been used by fowls before. 
These arc .very small worms that enter the 
chicks* windpipes and attach themselves 
to the lining membrane, interfering with 
breathing, causing the chicks to stand and 
“gape" for breath, and killing many of 
them. Older fowls with similar symp¬ 
toms are likely to be suffering from a 
like obstruction to tlu* air passages caused 
by the formation of a fungus growth at 
the entrance to the windpipe. 
A loop of horsehair passed down the 
windpipe of a gaping chick, twisted about 
and withdrawn, will be likely to bring to 
light one or more of the gapeworms if any 
are present, and continued treatment will 
remove most of them. The chicks must 
then be kept on ground tlinr has not been 
<*oti in ruinated by other chirks or fowls. 
Oprn ihe mouth of a gaping hen and see 
if a yellowish circle of spongy growth can¬ 
not he seen just at the entrance of the 
windpipe. If it can. a pledger of cotton 
on the end of a sliver of wood may be 
used to remove if. or this may he done 
with a smooth sliver of wood without cot¬ 
ton if it is gently used. After removal, 
the fowl should recover. If is possible for 
little chicks to suffer from the same fun- 
inis growth, and but little can be done for 
them. m. b. d.

Partial Paralysis 
I have a horse which got cast four

Partial paralysis has been caused by 
injury to the nerves when the horse pulled 
so hard upon the halter. Such cases are 
quite common, and unfortunately there is

when the horse is young. Meanwhile
