die of bowel 
trouble more 
than any other 
cause. It is 
estimated that of 
every lOOOchicks 
hatched each 
year less than 400 reach marketable size. Germo- 
zone users raise, usually, 90% of chicks hatched. 
Germozone keeps the bowels regular. It prevents 
diarrhoea from overdrinking of water; from eating 
musty or spoiled food, etc. It should be given in 
drinking water twice a week from the day they are 
hatched. It stops the loss. Every chick that dies tj 
cuts badly into the profit from the rest. Every chick saved I 
wil] p«y the cost of a bottle of Germozone.

Bone Meal for Poultry. 
In a recent issue there was an article 
recommending bone meal as good for 
chickens. I have a lot of bone meal, 
pure crushed hone, such as I use for 
fertilizer on roses, etc. It costs $42 per 
ton. I have no guarantee that it is 
pure ground bone. Is this the kind that 
you mean is good for chickens and if so 
can I give them all they will eat of it? 
Stockbridge, Mass. J. M. 
We should he careful about feeding 
fertilizer bone, or fertilizer tankage to 
live stock. The hone may have been 
treated with sulphuric acid, or it may 
contain substances which would he in¬ 
jurious to the stock. Personally, we 
would not feed bone, scraps, or tankage, 
except under a guarantee that it was 
suitable for the purpose.

Worms in Poultry. 
Can you tell me what is cause and 
treatment of small hard white or yellow¬ 
ish worms in gizzard of White Leghorn 
cockerels. Their health does not seem 
impaired. it. p. f. 
New York. 
These are parasitic worms which in¬ 
fest the crop and other digestive organs 
of fowls and sometimes lead to the death 
of the birds through destruction of the 
tissues. Perhaps as good a remedy as 
any is oil of turpentine, diluted with an 
equal quantity of any bland oil, and the 
mixture administered in tablespoonful 
doses. Dose to be repeated after an in¬ 
terval if necessary. Chopped garlic in 
the food is also very distasteful to these 
parasites and should be given if at hand

Wyandottes and Plymouth Rocks. 
I notice an inquiry asking for the dis¬ 
tinguishing mark of the White Wyan¬ 
dotte. I am the person who originated 
the Silver Laced and White Wyandotte 
and made the standard of same. A few 
years ago the breeders of the Wyandotte 
type insisted upon the breeders of the 
Plymouth Rocks that they should stick 
to the type. The two birds are entirely 
different in type, the Wyandotte being 
a bird of curves and the Plymouth Rock 
being a bird of angles; in other words 
slab-sided and long-legged, and as your 
correspondent says, weighs about a pound 
more. Now if you would refer to the 
Standard of Perfection of various birds, 
you would get all the information re¬ 
quired. 
I also notice some one asks about the 
difference in the laying qualities. Being 
somewhat of an expert in this depart¬ 
ment, would say that whatever the va¬ 
riety may he, the breeder can by selection 
make the laying qualities whatever he de¬ 
sires. As a matter of fact, one of the 
largest experiment stations shows that 
the Silver Laced and the Bull Wyan¬ 
dottes excel all the other varieties in 
their year’s work up to the first of Janu¬ 
ary. This does not mean, however, that 
the Plymouth Rock, Cochin, Langshan, 
or in fact any other variety could not, 
by careful selection, he made to lay just 
as many eggs. Should your correspondent 
happen to strike a gobd laying strain of 
even a mongrel fowl, he might find that 
they lay more eggs than some of the 
purebreds, as fanciers of the purebreds 
often neglect this for feather or type. 
I am trying to emphasize the fact that 
laying qualities are within the manipula¬ 
tion of the fancier and breeder. 
FRED A. IIOUDLETTE. 
R. C. White Leghorns. 
Will you tell me whether the R. C. 
White Leghorn is as good a layer as the 
Single Comb? Can they be made to lay 
in five or six months after hatching? If 
so on what feed? H. s. 
New York. 
The chief difference between the Rose 
and the Single Comb varieties of the 
Leghorns is in the comb, though as the 
Single Comb Whites are more popular, 
good laying strains are probably more 
numerous and more to be depended upon 
than the Rose Comb variety of that color. 
Either should be brought to laying con¬ 
dition in five to six months from hatch¬ 
ing, if well fed and kept growing from 
the start. They should have the ordin¬ 
ary grains, of which corn and wheat 
usually form the greater part, and a 
mash of ground grains combined with 
meat meal of beef scrap, Skim-milk is 
also a very valuable addition to the feed 
of growing chicks. M. B. D. 
Feeding Beets to Hens. 
I notice a reader asks for a beet pulp¬ 
ing machine to prepare beets for his 
hens. Why anyone should spend time 
pulping beets for hens is beyond me. 
Simply split the beets in half and the 
hens will eat until their droppings are 
red like blood. A container of chicken 
wire, V-shape, at a suitable height, is 
good for exposing the beets. After they 
learn the trick splitting the beets is 
superfluous. E. L. 8.
