Protrusion of Oviduct 
1 .im Iiiiving trouble with my ohir-keng 
(BiiiTi’d Bocks), They are always ready 
to eat, and have been laying constantly 
since last November. I have had to kill 
two fine hens lately because badly rup¬ 
tured at the vent. s. ii. D. 
The trouble which you note is probably 
jn’otrusiou of the oviduct due to a re¬ 
laxed condition of the soft parts nnd 
the .strain of heavy laying. It is not aii 
infrequent trouble in docks that are con¬ 
fined through the Winter and stimulated 
by heavy feeding. A removal of the af¬ 
fected hens from the Hock is advisable 
as their companions are likely to pick 
at the protruding red mass and acquire 
the vice of caunabalisin. More lil)erty 
and less heavy feeding should correct the 
tendency to this trouble, but may at the 
same time decrease egg production. 
M. B. D. 
Kill Lice 
Begin now, 
in t h 
spring- 
time-clean 
up your 
poultry, 
keep hens 
and little 
chicks free 
from lice so 
they will do 
their best,^. 
When hens 
pick feath- , 
ers you have 
J 
a sure sign 
of lice. / • . 
<•>./ -'/a' 
Dp 
Instant Louse Killer 
means easy and sure lice riddance. 
Dust into hens’ feathers, about 
roosts and houses. Put it into the 
dust bath, both hens and chicks 
will work it all through the feath¬ 
ers, bringing the Louse Killer right 
home to the lice. You can do 
your poultry no better service. 
Don’t neglect them. 
Also destroys bugs on cucumber, squash 
and melon vines, cabbage worms, slugs 
on rose bushes. Sold in sifting-top cans. 
Price, 1 lb. 25c; 3 lbs. 60c (except In Canada).
