Henhouse Waterworks 
T would like to li.qve some information 
about the waterworks whioh I am going 
to install in my poultry house. The 
houses are built on a slope. I w'ant to 
I)lace a barrel in the first house at the 
top of slope, with 14-inch pipe, from 
barrel, running do5vn the slope. In each 
house, one fountain with short pipe run¬ 
ning into fonntain. with a stop at the end 
of stables. Would tlw fountains stay 
filled until the hens drain it out of 
baiTel, or vvonld the fountains overflow? 
Pennsylvania. ir. p. 5 v, 
If arranged as suggested, the water 
would flow through, the fonntain.s until 
the barrel was emptied. A float in each 
fonntain so attached to a valve as to 
close it and stop the entrance of water 
when the fonntain was full 5vonld achieve 
yonr purpose, hut would he somewhat ex¬ 
pensive. The principle of this may he 
oh,served in the water basins jdaoed be¬ 
fore cattle, or in the float shutting off 
the water from the elevated tank supply¬ 
ing the howl of a wati'r closet. Yon 
might, perhaps, rnii your pipe as yon 
suggest and drill a small hole over each 
water bucket, closing this hole with a 
soft wood plug that would permit only a 
drop at a time to fall into the hneket. 
This would need some attention hut 
would work, I think. M. B. D. 
Poisonin'g the Crows 
I notice an inriuiry on page as to 
how to iirotect corn from the crows. The 
following method was recommended at a 
farmer.s’ institute several years ago, and 
I have never had a planting damaged 
since using it. It may be dangerous if 
the corn is planted close to the farm 
hnilding.s, as the chickens would probably 
he killed by eating the treated corn, hut 
it is absolutely satisfactory elsewhere. 
Mix arsenate of lead with water to the 
consistency of thin paint. Put a little 
in a pail and add the sei'd corn. Stir un¬ 
til corn is well coated and then spread at 
once on a floor to dry. Do not u.s-e until 
thoroughly dry, as you may have trouble 
with it^ in^ tlie planter. Also remember 
that this is poisoned' corn and keep it 
safe from all stock. I ri'gret that I can¬ 
not remember the amount of .•irscnatc of 
lead necessary for a peck of corn, but 
a few pounds will treat enough sci'd corn 
for a ten-acre planting. 
.\s :ui instance of the crow’s intelli¬ 
gence, I can report that in planting last 
year two rows were omitted. After the 
field Wiis u)) these rows were planted with 
untreated coni. 1’he rest of the twelve 
aeres were iintonched, hut Mr. Crow 
took out every konu'l of these t 5 vo re- 
lilanted rows. Scatter the treated corn 
on top of the ground and the crows leave 
it untouched, hut will luill any untreated 
seed which ha.s been planted.' Yes, they 
are some giu’ssers.

Hens Eat Eggs 
Y hat cau he done for hens that eat 
their eggs? The shell is so soft that 
5vhen they lay them it breaks. I luive 
grit and sliell in front of them, plenty of 
air and fresh water; feed them three 
times a day; in the morning grain, at 
noon wet inash. at night grain, and a 
dry mash in front of them all the time. 
Some days T do not get an egg. 
('onnecticut. mks. e. w. w. 
Some hens can he enre'd of tliis. con¬ 
temptible habit of eating eggs only by 
ciioking; others will forget it if given 
their liberty on range, while the eggs are 
removed from the ne.sts as soon after 
liaving been laid as possible. Soft-shelled 
eggs are pretty apt to he eaten, anyway; 
they .are so easily broken in the nests. 
I have had hens that would sit up nights 
waiting for an egg to ho laid, that they 
might eat it. Rut for years I have hail 
no trouble of that kind and do not hesi¬ 
tate now to throv'^ broken eggs to the 
hens at any time. Like most other vices 
to which hens, and humans, are subject, 
egg eating is encouraged by idleness, 
liens that are not bn.sy loiter around 
looking for some mischief to got into; I 
haven’t a doubt that some of them w’onld 
even take Tip cigarette smoking, ivith a 
little enconragement. Give the hens deep 
litter to scratch for their food in ; throw 
them some clover hay to work over every 
day, if you have it. Open the door.s anil 
let them out of the poultry house in the 
morning while eggs are being laid and 
gather the eggs once or twice in the fore¬ 
noon. Such devices as stuffing eggs with 
red pepper, tiling beaks, etc., have never 
worked with me. I have arranged nests 
with sloping bottoms that permitted the 
e"g to roll immediately beneath a pro¬ 
jecting ledge when a hen picked at it; 
covering these bottoms only with smooth 
caniet, blit this is some little trouble. It 
gave me great jov, however, to once cii'- 
onmvent a beautiful flock of White Rocks 
in that way. It Avas worth all it cost 
to watch them trying to roll the eggs out 
from beneath the ledge. That’s when T 
did the cackling. M. n. n.

SPECIAL NOTICE 
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 assumed in case ot dissatisfaction.
