THE HENYARD 
Fleas in Henhouse. 
Will you advise how to get rid of fleas 
in henhouse? r. s. 
Clean up the henhouse thoroughly, re¬ 
moving all droppings and litter. Spray, 
or paint, the interior, especially about the 
perches, dropping boards, and nests with 
a mixture of one part crude carbolic acid 
to three parts of kerosene. See that every 
crack and crevice is flooded with the 
liquid. Repeat the spraying after three 
weeks. Keep the poultry quarters clean 
and admit all sunlight and fresh air pos¬ 
sible. m. B. D. 
Two-year-Old Indian Runner Ducks. 
What are the advantages of keeping 
Indian Runner ducks two years when 
market eggs only are wanted? I have 100 
Runner ducks that lay 90% and better, 
but it is my opinion (with no data to 
substantiate it) that the first year is the 
most profitable for market eggs. 
East Brookfield, Mass. c. w. b. 
It is impossible to make a rule that 
will apply to everyone under all circum¬ 
stances. I have had Runner ducks that 
laid in the Fall and took a vacation in 
the Spring, others that reversed this or¬ 
der. Some will lay well throughout the 
year. As a rule ducks’ eggs sell more 
readily and at better prices in the Spring 
than at other seasons. One’s market 
should enable him to decide as to the 
desirability of keeping ducks more than 
one year for market eggs. w. H. H. 
Summer Crop on Poultry Run. 
I have a chicken run in a city back 
yard that I will use until the end of .Tune. 
Until the middle of September this will be 
idle. Can you suggest a crop that I 
could grow on this land in 2 y 2 months 
that would mature and be of value as 
chicken feed? If no crop will mature, 
please suggest the best thing to plant to 
sweeten the land for use as a run in 
the Fall. c . o. h. 
Brooklyn. 
We should sow buckwheat with a small 
amount of rye. Seeded in late June the 
buckwheat should mature grain before 
October. The rye will come on after the 
buckwheat has been cut and occupy the 
ground during the Fall. 
Fat Hens. 
I have just read what C. H. C. says 
about the cull White Leghorns being fat 
and note that an old proverb is men¬ 
tioned that “Fat hens lay no eggs.” I be¬ 
lieve all modern investigation will dis¬ 
prove this proverb. Personally I have 
never found a White Leghorn hen too 
fat to lay and I have never found a good 
laying Leghorn hen that was in “poor 
flesh.” I think you will find a hen must 
be fat before she will start to reproduce 
herself. I would like to hear what some 
other Leghorn breeders say about this 
matter of a hen being too fat to lay. 
Some of the heavy sluggish breeds may 
possibly get too fat to lay, but I have 
been breeding White Leghorns for 20 
years, and have never known one that 
was a good layer that was not fat. 
FLOYD Q. WHITE. 
Feather Pulling. 
We have about 40 hens and get about 
18 to 20 eggs each day. They have grit, 
oyster shells, dry mash, corn, oats, and 
fresh water. They have just taken up 
feather-pulling, and not only that but 
actually flesh-eating, and I would like to 
know if there is any remedy for that ha¬ 
bit except the ax. i. m. d. 
Maine. 
Like other vicious habits of fowls, 
feather-pulling and cannibalism are some¬ 
times to be overcome only by giving the 
birds their liberty and permitting then 
to become interested in something beside 
each other. The kind or amount of food 
that they have seems to have little to do 
with their evil propensities, save possibly 
as a predisposing cause. m. b. d. 
Vertigo. 
Can you tell me what is the matter 
with my x-ooster? About two weeks ago 
I noticed he was walking around the hen¬ 
house, looking up at the roof and ap¬ 
peared to be listening as he turned his 
head a little to one side. In a day or 
two he was a good deal worse and tipped 
his head back as far as he could and if he 
heard any noise or anybody approached 
him he would dodge his head and sit 
down as if afraid something would hit 
him. I gave him castor oil and sweet 
oil but he is no better. He seems to 
have some difficulty in swallowing and 
when he drinks water snaps his head and 
puts it over on his back as far as he can. 
New Jersey. w. m. g. 
This rooster is troubled with vertigo, 
supposed to be due to congestion of the 
brain, for which intestinal disturbances, 
possible caused by intestinal worms, are 
very likely responsible. I would suggest 
giving two grains of calomel, followed 
in a few hours by two teaspoonfuls of 
castor oil. Watch the droppings for 
worms. If any appear, give two tea¬ 
spoonfuls of oil of turpentine, injected 
through a soft rubber catheter into the 
crop. Repeat dose after a few days if 
necessary. Keep the rooster by himself 
and give soft feed. m. b. d.
