Defective Laying 
I have .some White AV.vaiulotte pullets 
that ai-e nut laying any, have killed a few 
of them to eat, ami have fouml in all 
of the four egg.s the size of cherrie.s and 
siiituloi, <nu] ull hju*(i uikI bljick. Do you 
know any cause for this aud a remedy’ 
Pennsylvania. j. -w, x. * 
Infection with the germ which causes 
white diarrhoea in your chieks produces 
ail appearance somewhat like that which 
you de.scribe in the ovaries of mature 
fowls. The developing yolks become mis¬ 
shapen, under.sized, dark and sometimes 
cheesy. \V hetjier or not this is the cause 
of the condition you observed in your 
fowls, I cannot, of course, say. If'you 
hatch from this floek this year and find 
your chicks dying from white diarrhoea, 
I should consider it pretty good evidence 
that your laying pullets are infected 
with that disease. m. r. d.

Fecial notice 
Those purchasing eggs for hatching and baby 
chicks must understand that they are assuming 
some risk when ordering trom a distance. For the 
most part eggs and chicks carry safely, but some¬ 
times rough handling by the express companies 
or exposure to heal 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 considei claims on that 
basis. To avoid controversy buyer and seller 
should have a definite understanding as to the 
responsibility assumed in case of dissatisfaction.
