POULTRY IN PENNSYLVANIA. 
Until the formation of the Altoona Poul¬ 
try Association, three years ago, there was 
not much interest taken in fancy poultry 
about here. Since then it has been grow¬ 
ing in leaps and bounds, nearly 2,000 en¬ 
tries at the January show held in Altoona, 
and some fine poultry owned and raised 
here that would have been a credit to any 
section. While the fanciers are mostly con¬ 
fined to the cities and suburbs of Altoona, 
Hollidaysburg and Tyrone, the live farmers 
are all awakening to the fact that it pays 
to raise and keep purebred poultry. The 
varieties are as many as the American 
Standard classifies, with Leghorns in the 
lead. Plymouth Rocks second, with the 
Orpingtons a close third and growing in 
favor. The R. I. Reds have many admirers. 
We have two hatcheries in the county 
(Blair) with a combined capacity of 24,000 
eggs, with many owners of incubators of 
400 eggs down to the 25-egg little ones. 
The baby chick business is in its infancy 
here; I am not in position to state whether 
it is satisfactory to buyers and shippers 
or not, but with the additions being built 
to incubators it looks as though it was 
proving a success. I breed W. Leghorns 
for eggs, B. Rocks for table and hatching. 
After 40 years’ experience I find the Eng¬ 
lish standard Indian Runner duck with 
free range are paying me much better than 
anything else that wears feathers. For 
feeding I use a balanced ration as laid 
down by our State Experiment Station, 
plenty of clean water, clean coops and 
large range.

CURTAIN FRONT HEN HOUSES. 
I have always/ felt that excessive heat in 
Summer is the serious objection to the 
Tolman open-front house. This Mr. Loring 
refers to in his letter on page 444. There 
is another objection, however, the com¬ 
parative lack of sunlight in such a house, 
due to its low front. Sunlight is such an 
important germ-destroying and purifying 
agent that every effort should be made to 
admit it as freely as possible. I believe 
the curtain-front, shed-type house comes 
closest to meeting the average need. And 
if curtained roosting closets, with high 
perches, are added, we should have about 
all the comforts which Mr. Proctor, on 
page 444, deems necessary. Here we have 
adequate ventilation with Tolman's banked- 
up warm air in Winter, the maximum of 
sunlight, comparative coolness in Summer, 
protection from draughts, and adaptability 
to various sections of the country. There 
should be very little added work in manipu¬ 
lating properly designed curtains. At any 
rate it stands to reason that in our rigor¬ 
ous climate some adjustment of the poultry 
house must be expected in passing from 
Summer to Winter. I wonder how some of 
our human friends would like to live 
through a northern Winter under Summer 
conditions with the windows open and the 
furnace out ! a. c.

Indian Runner Ducks.—A few- reasons 
why every farmer that has running water 
should have a flock are as follows: They 
cost less to keep than hens, because they 
are better foragers; with reasonable care 
will average 200 eggs a year that will 
weigh as much as 300 large hen eggs, and 
weigh 11 times their own weight. They 
lay at night, and will always come home 
if given a little grain as an inducement. 
The eggs are of fine flavor, one-third larger 
than hen eggs, and are readily sold at bet¬ 
ter prices. They do not sit, have no 
chicken lice or mites, no frozen combs, 
roup or gapes or any of the many diseases 
that chickens are subject to. The duck¬ 
lings can be made to weigh three pounds 
at nine or 10 weeks old; the meat is as fine 
flavored as a canvasback that costs $3 
wholesale. r. w. s. 
Egg-Eating Dogs. —Thank you for put¬ 
ting my request about egg-eating dog in 
the paper; hope I may get more answers. 
While the advice given is good, still a 
hunting dog with a good nose very easily 
knows a “doctored” egg from a good one. 
Some years ago when I had no use for it, 
I saw a recipe for some kind of solution to 
put an egg into, odorless and colorless, but 
when wet by the saliva was very hot and 
unpleasant. The name I have forgotten, 
also the paper. Perhaps some of the many 
readers of our paper may see my request 
and give the desired information. Every 
dog we get will eat eggs; we have to keep 
them tied, then they are useless as watch 
dogs, which is all the good a dog 1 is to me, 
while my husband wishes them to hunt. 
They Instinctively know it to be wrong 
and won’t let us catch them in the act. 
MRS. R, H. B. 
Brown Egged Leghorn. —A while ago 
there was some talk about a white egg 
American fowl; why not a brown egg fowl 
like a Leghorn ? A fowl having good yel¬ 
low skin and logs, rose comb, plumage 
white or some color that goes with yellow 
skin, a kind that will not waste several 
weeks by excessive broodiness. We have a 
handsome cross of White Wyandotte and 
R. C. White Leghorn that are wonderful 
layers, laying better on same amount of 
feed than either the W. Wyandotte or R. I. 
Reds, but they lay a white egg, and the 
only thing gained by this cross over the 
R. C. White Leghorn is size. Brown eggs 
are more popular in Connecticut markets, 
but if customers are given their choice 
they take the largest ones, regardless of 
color. r. j. 
Scaly Leg. —On page 415 W. L. P. asks 
about scaly leg and says kerosene has 
failed to effect a cure. If he will add to 
the kerosene all the naphthaline flakes It 
will take up and then hold the birds’ legs 
in the mixture, taking care not to allow 
the oil to touch the feathers, I feel sure 
one application will be sufficient. T. c. c.

whore there are more pretty girls than any place of its size in America. Yes, or Africa, either. 
Darlington is a great place to got a wife. If you get a Darlington girl for a wife, and she does not 
open your eyes, come over to the EGG FARM and you will see things that surely will. Maryland 
latcn strings are always out, and mine is extra long, so the smallest child can reach it. Come and 
?f 0 ;, A n L»! > troiI i Missouri came to see my plant. A man from any other State you simply tell, but 
it from Missouri yon must show him. He saw the MAMMOTH HOT WATER MACHINE 
at work. He saw the laying house at work. He saw the breeding houses at work with a ‘‘day and 
night shift. He gave me an order for 800 Chicks, and said: “Now, I want to see the pretty girls.” 
f* t u t0w samples—not my best—and he said: “Stop, you put me out of conceit of my own 
1V , 5 le - I ao nope there won t be a divorce. His next remark was: “Mr. Edge, you have the goods; 
they are lull yard wide and I do not think they will shrink in the wash.” True, but you have for¬ 
gotten one thing. I said they are all “double heels and toes.”
