Trouble with Fowls 
I had a flock of 35 White Leghorn 
yearlings that appeared to be healthy. 
We moved them last March and since 
then have lost seven. The trouble seems 
to start in the vent, with a milky dis¬ 
charge. and in a day or two g<‘t,s bloody. 
They live about a week after the first 
signs of trouble. Have fed ordinary 
scratch grains and mash, which have been 
before them constantly. \v. B. s. 
New York. 
These fowls may have vent gleet, 
though that trouble is usually of a more 
chronic nature and less fatal than the 
disorder seems to ho in the case of your 
birds. At any rate, there is evidently an 
inflammation of the vent and oviduct, and 
T would suggest that you remove ail 
affected fowls from the flock, give them a 
dost* of Epsom salts, one teaspoon to each 
bird: this can be mixed with a moist 
mash, so fed as to permit each fowl to 
get its share, and then feed lightly with 
plenty of green stuff and no meat in the 
ration until they have recovered, or have 
shown that they will not recover. Look 
carefully to the food given the rest of the 
flock ; it is possible that musty or spoiled 
food of some kind has been eaten, or that 
the fowls have gained access to salt or 
other poisonous stuff and that the in¬ 
flammation may be limited to the intes¬ 
tinal tract. In either case, a dose of 
salts and light feeding is indicated.

Dividend checks from the American Telephone and Telegraph Company are 
received quarterly by more than 200,000 telephone users. 
Less than fifty years ago an application was made for a patent 
which created the possibility of speech between distant points. It 
was the culmination of years of study, research and experiment, 
it suggested a new aid in commerce and domestic life; a new tie to 
bind the people together. But it was only a suggestion-a dream. 
To make that dream come true required the creation of an 
organization unlike any other. It demanded a kind of scientific 
know-ledge that was yet to be formulated, as well as a type of 
equipment still to be devised. And it necessitated the financial and 
moral support of many communities. 
Out of this situation grew the Bell System, bringing not only a 
new public service, but a new democracy of public service owner¬ 
ship-a democracy that now has more than 200,000 stockholders 
—a partnership of the rank and file who use telephone service and 
the rank and file employed in that service. The American Telephone 
and Telegraph Company exists to serve the people and is owned 
directly by the people-controlled not by one, but controlled by all. 
Evolution is going on. Each year the ownership is more wide¬ 
spread. Each year the various processes of the service are per¬ 
formed more efficiently and economically. Each year new lines 
and extensions are constructed. The responsibility of the manage¬ 
ment is to provide the best possible telephone service at the lowest 
possible cost and to provide new facilities with the growth of de¬ 
mand. To do these things requires equipment, men and money. 
The rates must furnish a net return sufficient to induce you to 
become a stockholder, or to retain your stock if you already are 
one; after paying wages sufficient to attract and retain capable 
men and women in the service. They must adequately support 
and extend the structure of communication. 
These are considerations for the interest of all—public, stock¬ 
holders, employees.

Kerosene for Fowls 
What <ln you think of kerosene to be 
put in drinking water of fowls, as a rem¬ 
edy for intestinal worms? I never heard 
of its use for this purpose, hut the idea 
occurred to me. I am having quite a few 
cases nf prolapsus of the oviduct. Is it 
preventable, and what is cause? e. d. k. 
New York. 
I do not think that kerosene would act 
as a worm destroyer, even if token in con¬ 
siderably larger quantities than fowls 
would he apt to consume jf added to the 
drinking water. There is no harm in try¬ 
ing it. however, and you can demonstrate 
its usefulness or uselessness for yourself, 
Prolapse of the oviduct occurs in 
heavily laying fowls, particularly in pul¬ 
lets. It is probably caused by lack of 
strength in the parts involved or by con¬ 
stitutional inability to withstand the 
strain of laying. An immediate cause 
may be efforts to expel an egg overly 
large for organs unaccustomed to egg 
production. A poultryman has suggested 
the use of Fstilngo Muytlis in tablets that 
can be obtained of any dealer in homeo¬ 
pathic remedies, or from some homeo¬ 
pathic physician, several of these being 
added to cad) quart of drinking water. 
He believes that this drug has overcome 
the tendency to such troubles in his fowls. 
Here, again, whether you can have any 
confidence in the remedy or not. it is 
harmless. m. b. d.

Cornell Laying Mash 
Will you give me u dry mash ration 
made from the following: Bran, mid¬ 
dlings. beef scrap, fishmeal. Alfalfa, glu¬ 
ten feed, ground oats, powdered butter¬ 
milk, salt. What is the Cornell ration? 
Maryland. w. t. n. 
The Cornell laying mash is composed 
of equal parts, by weight, of cornmeal. 
wheat bran, middlings, ground oats and 
beef serai). Three pounds of salt are 
added to each 500 lbs. of the mixture. 
This is richer in animal protein than 
many poultryineu prefer, and a mash 
used in the laving contests in Connecti¬ 
cut added another part of gluten feed, 
thus reducing the proportion of beef 
scrap to one-sixth parr, by weight. You 
do not need to feed fishmeal, beef scrap 
and powdered buttermilk in a mash, as 
these are all sources of animal protein 
and one will replace either of the others. 
Equal parts of beef scrap and fishmeal 
may be used to form the desired amount 
of animal food in the mash, or either may 
be used alone. Meat scrap is somewhat 
superior to fishmeal, however, and there 
is no occasion for substituting the latter 
unless considerably cheaper in price, 
l'owdereil buttermilk may also replace 
either beef scrap or fishmeal, and is prob¬ 
ably equal, if not superior, to either it. 
the ration. The choice of animal food in 
the mash should depend somewhat upon 
the comparative prices. Cornmeal should 
he added to the feeds that you mention, 
and the purchase of ground Alfalfa is of 
doubtful economy. That, or clover, may 
be purchased ami fed more economically 
before having undergone the expensive 
process of grinding. M. B. D.
