Fowls Lose Neck Feathers 
Wh' 3 ’ do hens pick the feathers off their 
necks? Is there something they want? 
They have mixed food ;ind cornmeal in 
the morning and corn at night; plenty of 
oyster .shells and fish, K. F. s. 
Hens frecinently lose the feathers from 
their heads and necks as the result of the 
work of the depluming mite, a parasite 
that burrows in the skin at the base of 
the feathers and cau.ses an irritation that 
explains the picking at their necks. The 
remedy is an application of .some grease, 
like sulphur ointment, well rubbed into 
(he skin over the affected areas. M. B. i). 
The M.\ster: “You look worricHl. 
What’s the matter?” The Housekeeper: 
“The nur.se has just left, and there is 
nobod.v to Wiish the bab.v.’’ The Master: 
“Have the chauffeur do it. There isn’t 
as much mechanism about a baby as there

SPECIAL NOfl^ 
Those purchasing eggs for hatching and baby 
chicks must understand that they are assuming 
some risk when ordering from a distance. For the 
most part eggs and chicks carry safely, but some¬ 
times rough handling by the express companies 
or exposure to heat and cold causes damage. 
That eggs fail to hatch or chicks die is not con¬ 
clusive evidence of bad faith on the part of the 
seller, and we shall not consider claims on that' 
basis. To avoid controversy buyer and seller 
should have a definite understanding as to the 
responsibility assunied in case of dissatisfaction.
