vise me if this is true ttnd where to find 
stile for them tit that price? w. b. i.

Tf there is a .sale for dti.v-old poults 
at 7iic each I have never heard of It. 
ttnd it is mj' opinion that this practice 
would result disastrously to the purchas- 
<‘is in ii large mii.iority of cases, es¬ 
pecially if .shipment was made by ex- 
l>ress, Y'oung poults are very tender, 
iind must be cared for properly from the 
slitrt. If anyone has had any experience 
in buying, selling or shipping day-old

Hens With Sore Eyes 
Would you give a cure for sore eyes? 
My hens’ eyes swell up tiiid become full 
of matter. c. T. 
The cure for this condition is removal 
of the cause, so far as iiossible. Keep 
tlie fowls in dry, well-vontihitcd qimrters 
that are free from drafts and clettn. Ite- 
move tiny diseased birds from the flock 
as some of these alTections arc con¬ 
tagious. If individual treatment is de¬ 
sired, the iiffeeted fowls’ heads may he 
dijtped at intervals in a solution of per¬ 
manganate of pota.sh cry.stals; a tea- 
spoonful to two tpiarts of wtitor. This 
is a catarrhal condition which fre<|uent- 
ly becomes severe and mtiy be the fore¬ 
runner of roup. It is to be avoided by 
maintaining the health of the flock at a 
high level through cleanliness of quar¬ 
ters and utensils, dry, comfortable quar¬ 
ters, removtil of sick birds :ind good feed¬ 
ing. M. B. D.

Destroying Hen Lice ; White Diarrhoea 
1. About a year )igo I liiin'haseil a farm 
which had a henhouse about 14x10 ft. 
with a run about same size on it. We 
have 150 White Leghorns, but built a 
new henhouse for them. The old one 
we used this Winter for some roosters 
for table use, and they are full of lice, 
while the hens are all right. Wluit would 
you advi.se? liurning the old house as 
it is fairly near the new’ one, or do you 
think that by burning sulphur candles 
and w’hitew’a.shing the interior it will he 
all right for chickens this Spring? It 
is not airtight. 2. Can you give me ad¬ 
vice regarding the cure of white diarrluca 
iu baby chicks? n, A. S. 
1. If this old building is worth saving, 
it can iirohahly be freed from lice by a 
sufficiently thorough cleaning and spijiy- 
ing with crude oil, lime and sulphur or 
similar insecticide. Ordinary whitow’ush 
might do the .iob if applied with suffi¬ 
cient thoroughness. Burning sulphur 
will not kill the li(“e; they s(‘em to need 
the application of some liquid louse de¬ 
stroyer. ‘2. I know of no cure fur tiiie 
w’hite diiinho'ii in baby chicks. It 
should be avoided by hatching from sto<-k 
known to ho uninfected and raising the 
chicks in quarters that have not been 
occupied by diseased chicks or that have 
been thoroughly cleaned and (Ksiuf(‘cted 
after such occupancy. White diarrhoea 
may be transmitted through the eggs and 
eggs purchased for hatching .should be 
know’u to be from disease free stock. 
This is one of the diseases where pre¬ 
vention rather thau cure should he 
sought, for a chick once infected is a 
permanent menace to the flock.

Hens With Worms 
IMnny of my flock of R. I. Reds and 
W’hite I.eghorns are suffering from in- 
te.stinal worms. Individual treatment 
with turpentine administered through 
catheter is well-nigh impossible, ^^'oui(l 
copiieras placed in the drinking water 
he of any avail? If so, what amount 
to a gallon of water? Would sulpliur 
or RpSom s.AlTs in their mash be emea- 
cLous? M. . 1 . s. 
Penn.sylvania. 
Copperas in the drinking water would 
probably have no effect upon these in¬ 
testinal worms, neither would Kpsom 
salts or sulphur to any appreciable ex¬ 
tent. Worms in moderate numbers do 
not seem to seriously affect fowls but 
they may become a pe.st when too numer¬ 
ous. There are various remedies for the 
condition offered but all of doubtful ef¬ 
ficacy ; turpentine administered to in¬ 
dividual fowls is of use but a tedious 
method of treatment. Fowls badly in¬ 
fected with intestinal worms should be 
placed on new ground occa.sioually if 
possible, and the droppings should be 
kept cleaned from the perches and quar¬ 
ters to prevent immediate re-infection 
through the picking up worms and eggs 
from others. I know of nothing which 
can be administered in the food of a flock 
that will rid them of worms; they are 
not so easily disposed of. M. B. D.
