Saves Lives 
A digestible chick feed is 
vitally important. For in¬ 
digestion causes about 70% of 
chick deaths. 
The steam-cooking which we .give 
our feed by a special process dextri- 
nizes the starch in the grain. And 
so the most feeble little chicks can 
digest and assimilate it easily.

Washing Hatching Eggs 
Would it liurt hen or goose eggs that 
are to he used for hatching purposes to 
be washed? A, A. J. 
Hggs for hatching should be washed as 
little as possible. If iiecc.ssary, they may 
he wiped off with a damp cloth but the 
le.s« they are cleaned the better, as the 
protective coating of the shell which 
gives it its “bloom” is destroyed by 
washing. M. B. D. 
Favus 
iSome of my chickens have an erup¬ 
tion on their combs; the comb looks as 
though granulated sugjir had been put 
on it ami the head swells a little around 
the uiiper part of the eyes. What is 
this trouble? It does not make the 
chickens sick. w. T. T. 
New York. 
This may be the beginning stage of 
favus, or white comb; a disease caused 
by a fungus growth that attaches itself 
to the skin of the face and neck, usually 
beginning on the comb, and that may 
spread to other parts of the body. When 
mild,, or in the early stages, the health 
of the fowl may not suffer, though ex¬ 
tension of the disease may later cau.se 
death. Isolate such fowls and paint the 
affected parts with tincture of iodine, 
repeating after a day or two if neces¬ 
sary. __________ 
Egg-eating Hens 
Is there any remedy to prevent hens 
from eating their eggs, other than kill¬ 
ing them? C. V. B. 
New York. 
There are many remedies but no cure, 
so far as I know. Old expedients are 
blowing eggs and filling them with a 
mixture of red pepper, mustard, etc., and 
leaving them within reach of the fowls, 
filing the tips of the beaks of the offend¬ 
ing birds to make them sufficiently tender 
to interfere with pecking at hard objects, 
a remedy probably more cruel than ef¬ 
fective, ami keeping the nests dai-k with 
frequent gathering of the eggs. The lat¬ 
ter is probably the best of the remedies 
mentioned. Nests should be so placed 
and darkened as to prevent idle hens from 
sitting on the edges and picking at the 
contents. I have built nests with slant¬ 
ing bottoms, covered with carpet, so ar¬ 
ranged thiit the eggs as soon as laid 
would roll beneath a projecting ledge 
out of reach of the fowLs. It has given 
me great pleasure to circumvent hard¬ 
ened offenders in this way, but it is bet¬ 
ter to prevent the formation of the habit 
by using darkened, inaccessible nests 
rather than to attempt to cure it after 
it has been formed. M. n. n.
