SOME MICHIGAN PLYMOUTH ROCK. 
The poultry shown at Fig.154 are raised 
in a very ordinary way. i usually raise 
about 100 chicks each Summer, setting 
the eggs and raising them with hens, 
beginning to sell them when they weigh 
from four to five pounds, the prices rang¬ 
ing from 10 to 10 cents per pound. By 
changing cockerels every season, and 
each Fall disposing of the older hens 
and any that do not have good mark¬ 
ings, we think we have quite a purebred 
strain of Barred Rocks. I have sold 
quite a number of cockerels and pullets 
for breeding purposes, and eggs for 
hatching. As I do not have a very warm 
place to keep chickens during the Win¬ 
ter, I raise more for market than ‘for 
eggs, though we usually keep about GO 
laying hens. During the last year we 
gathered nearly 600 dozen, selling about 
$75 worth, besides using and eating a 
liberal amount. They have not been lay¬ 
ing very well the beginning of this year, 
but I have thought it due to our severe 
Winter; the ground has been covered 
with snow since the first of December. 
As I have free access to my father’s 
granary I do not keep an accurate ac¬ 
count of what T feed. In \\ inter I Iced

Warts on Cow. 
Would you tell me what to do for my 
cow, which will he fresh in two months? 
Her udder is covered in warts, some very 
large. w. s. m. 
Virginia. 
Warts having narrow necks should be 
snipped off with scissors; then apply Mon- 
sell's powder to the bleeding bases. Or 
they may be ligated with line string, horse¬ 
hair or small rubber bands. To masses of 
warts apply twice daily by rubbing some 
pure cold-pressed castor oil. This will re¬ 
move them iu time. • a. s. a. 
Diseased Udder. 
I have a purebred Jersey cow, which I 
bought from Clarksville, Va. Whether 
from neglect of care taken en route or 
bruise or other causes I know not, but she 
has for a mouth or so been troubled with 
a hardening of her udder just above the 
right front teat, which has increased in 
size and hardness, and is gradually extend¬ 
ing to teat behind on same side. She never 
gives more than half a gill from the first 
teat, while all others are normal. What 
is the trouble, also a remedy if possible? 
I have bathed with hot water and greased 
all to no purpose. She seems to have no 
soreness. Before entering this State she 
was tested for tuberculosis and passed by 
veterinarian iu charge. She eats well and 
has not shrunk in milk from other teats, 
notwithstanding acclimation. n. n.

Despite the fact that this cow was tested 
once, have her tested again, as there is 
great reason to fear that the condition

have to scratcli for it, and hot mash at 
night, always giving them plenty of 
warm water to drink. Helen fox.

A Hen-pecked Rooster. 
I would like to know why the hens pull 
the feathers from the rooster’s neck. We 
have the It. I. Iteds, and they have never 
done so before. The hens do not touch 
each other, as we have watched them. They 
follow the rooster and pick the feathers 
from his neck until now he is all hare and 
scarlet from the ear lobes to the crop. We 
feed our chickens a variety of food. They 
are in fine condition and good layers. 
East Orange, N. J. g. x. j. 
To anyone who takes pride in the 
appearance of his fowls, this feather 
plucking is very annoying. It is said 
that if they have plenty of meat, either 
beef scraps or green cut bone, they will 
not pluck the feathers. But after the 
habit is formed it is hard to break them 
of it. Leghorns are usually the worst 
feather eaters, I have seen a whole flock 
of Brown Leghorns where not only the 
necks but the fluffy feathers of the rear 
were all picked off, and the wing and 
back feathers were all there was left on 
the birds. I would, advise G. N. J. to try 
mixing some lard and red pepper and 
smear it thickly on the neck feathers of 
the rooster; as he is a R. I. Red it won’t 
show much. I think tar would be per¬ 
haps more effective, but it would look 
badly. Anything bitter that will make 
the feathers taste badly, will answer. 
This ought to be done as soon as the 
first feather picking is noticed.

described may be due to tuberculosis of the 
udder. That disease, when affecting the 
udder, causes a gradual enlargement and 
hardening, and often there is no pain, heat 
or tenderness in the process. Until the 
cow has been tested do not use her milk. 
If she is not tuberculous the condition of 
the udder nevertheless is incurable. All 
that can be done will be to dry off any 
slight secretion by rubbing twice dally 
with a mixture of equal parts of cam¬ 
phorated oil and fluid extract of belladonna 
leaves. « a. s. a. 
Mare With Indigestion. 
1 have a mare seven years old, weighing 
1,200 pounds, that appears to have in¬ 
digestion. Her appetite is good, but she 
is troubled with colic by spells, and has 
lots of gas in her bowels. Her manure 
smells sour. She sweats on the neck when 
standing in the stable, at the same time 
breathing hard. Occasionally she sweats 
all over. She has been troubled more or 
less for a year and a half. Her feed has 
been two quarts of meal three times a 
day. I have changed it to three quarts 
of oats twice a day and two quarts of 
cracked corn once a day, but it doesn’t 
seem to make very much difference. She 
works every day when it is pleasant, and 
is one of the nervous kind that makes her 
work harder than necessary. Plensc tell 
me what you think is the matter and 
suggest a remedy. O. L. c. 
Maine. 
Clip this mare Spring and Fall. Have 
her teeth attended to by a veterinary den¬ 
tist : then feed whole oats, bran and hay. 
Always allow the drinking water before 
feeding. Work or exercise her every day, 
wet or fine. Allow free access to rock 
salt. ' At times of trouble mix powdered 
wood charcoal freely in her food. Give 
her a pint dose of raw linseed oil each 
time she has an attack. Bed with baled 
shavings or sawdust if she eats her bed¬ 
ding. Allow her a roomy box stall in 
stable. A. s. a.

HOLSTEIN CATTLE 
Did you know that Flolstein cattle 
weigh all the way from 1000 to 1800 
pounds ? Their calves at birth often 
weigh upward of 100 pounds. If you 
considered beef alone there is more money 
in Holsteins than in the smaller breeds, 
but when you add to that their great 
milk-producing qualities, their great but¬ 
ter yield per cow, their strong constitu¬ 
tions and vitality, you certainly have 
about all that you could desire. Now, Hol¬ 
steins are great, big milk-making ma¬ 
chines that will take a dollar’s worth of 
grain and turn it into $1.54 of milk, over 
50% on your investment. Can 
y° u a reason l iere f° r 
% considering Holsteins ?
