Chicks With Diarrhoea 
Stiine chicks, hatched March 10, 
•scpincd weak at first, but others seemed 
all right. Some got crop-bound, and this 
was followed by a diarrhoea, and they 
commenced dying off. I have only about 
.^0 left out of l.'bu chicks. The excreta 
in some cases wa.s of a light yellow color; 
others kind of watery looking. Do you 
think this is the contagious diarrhoea in 
which the chick is infected before it is 
hatched? The feed has been the infertile 
eggs boiled and gi'ound up with stale 
bread. I am using a coal burning brood¬ 
er. I have another lot due in about a 
ueek, and I want to take the remaining 
chieks out of the brooder house and put 
the new ones in a.s I have no other place 
to put them. What would he your ad¬ 
vice as to handling of the nevv brood 
so as to prevent or overcome this trou¬ 
ble? F. z. 
Dawson, I'a. 
It is impossible for me to say whether 
the trouble with your chick.s is true in¬ 
fectious white diarrho'a or diarrhjea 
from inherent weakness and defective 
conditions of feeding or care. It is safer 
to assume, however, that the trouble 
may be infectious and keep other flocks 
away from these and from their quarters 
until the latter have been thoroughly 
cleaned and disinfected. Boiling water 
will clean uten.sils and a good scrubbing, 
followed by painting or spraying with 
some one of the good coal tar disin¬ 
fectants, will make the interiors of 
brooders safe for use with healthy flocks. 
If the first flock of chicks were not from 
stock known to be healthy and free from 
contagious diarrhoea, I should not consid¬ 
er the remaining thirty-five of sufficient 
value to warrant keeping them where 
they might expose later hatches.

Malted Barley; Golden Campines 
1. People here use malted barley, which 
can be had at .$1.25 per hundred pounds 
for cow feed. I)o you think this a good 
feed? If so how much of it should he 
fed, and how should it be combined with 
other feeds? 2. What do you think of 
(Johlen ('ainpine fowls as egg machines? 
What is the color of their skin and legs? 
New York. w. c. 
1. Dry barley malt makes a good feed 
for dairy cows and may he mixed with 
other feeds for this purpose. The amount 
to use depends on the amount and kinds 
of feed on hand. 
2. According to the American Standard 
of Perfection the under color of the 
Bolden rampine is slate a^id the legs are 
leaden blue. The plumage is golden bay. 
They are one of the so-called fancy 
breeds, and have not come into much use 
as a utility bird as yet, although they are 
fairly good la.vors. In egg iiroduction 
they resf'inhle the Silver Campine. In tim 
fourth international egg laying competi¬ 
tion held at Storrs. Conn., two pens of 
these hird.s. making 20 birds in all, aver¬ 
aged 1(i5.5 eggs per head per .year. The 
average of .all the birds in the contest, 
1.000 in number, was 1.51 .S eggs per bird. 
II. F. .7. 
Salt Poison 
It is quite well known that salt will 
kill poultry or swine when given in large 
doses. Dr. Wilson, of the South Dakota 
(’ollege, gives the following: 
“It has been determined that 25 grains 
of salt iier pound of live weight is suffi¬ 
cient to cause death in birds. In fact, 
the i)oisoning of hogs and chickens by 
eating salt or drinking brine is much 
more common ill an supposed, and the 
losses (piite large. It may he caused by 
eating salt i)ork or fish, by drinking brine 
h'ft from freezing ice cream, or the hi'ine 
thrown out from the pork barrel._ Brine 
that is four or five months old is espe¬ 
cially dangerous because of the poisons 
it contains, half a pint being a fatal dose 
for a pig. 
"The symptoms of salt poisoning are 
loss of appetite, dullness, sitting, moping 
and unsteady gait, nervous disturbance 
resulting from poisoning of the cerebro¬ 
spinal system, paralysis, increasing weak¬ 
ness followed by death, often in a very 
short time. The treatment consists of a 
full dose of castor oil followed by demul¬ 
cent drinlos, or milk, hut is difficult to ad¬ 
minister, and unless one has valuable 
breeding hogs or fancy show birds is 
hardly worth the effort since usually the 
animal is beyond help before being dis¬ 
covered, Prevention is better than an at¬ 
tempted cui’e. Hogs that ai’e fed regu¬ 
larly a .small quantity of salt become ac¬ 
customed to it and are probably bene- 
fitted. It is the large dose taken at one 
time that acts as an irritant and poison.” 
Crops and Farm News 
Butter and milk are the leading pro¬ 
ducts with us. Those who have sold milk 
during the Winter have been getting 
about 55c iier pound for the hntter-fat 
contained, during much of the Winter. 
We separate and send the cream to a 
creamery, 'being paid on a butter basis, 
receiving 42c net per pound of butter in 
our last statement, the buttermilk being 
returned and the separated milk being fed 
at home. We have got less clear money 
than the milk sellers during the Winter, 
but as all our stock is purebred we do 
not like to sell milk. Cattle do not bring 
prices commensurate with beef prices, ex¬ 
cept veals; jiossihl.V ahoiit fie during the 
Winter. I could not get oc for some year¬ 
ling bulls during the early Fall. Hogs 
have sold well. We got, 11c for one or 
two, I think. . They may he higher now. 
Buyers paid about .$1,50 net i)er hhl. for 
apples last Fall. Garden crops really C!it 
no figure iu this locality. We have no 
local market to speak of and none is 
shipped. F. w. c.
