Hens Dying 
My lieii.s liave been dying since last 
Fall, and I don’t know why. They seem 
all right at night, hut next morning I 
often find one dead in the henhouse. 
Dlassacliusetts. c. A. 
It i.s very common to find in any well- 
fed flock of fowls that one has died sud¬ 
denly, and without apparent cause. 
These hens are apt to be fat and among 
the best layers. Their deaths have been 
ascribed to apoplexy and to “liver 
trouble,” the latter probably from the 
fact that the livers are ofteu found en- 
hiiged. Ileus that are closely coufiued 
and heavily fed often break down aud die 
without having previously shown evidence 
of sickness. They are usually found dead 
under the perches in the morning. 
Whether they actually die from apoplexy 
or not, I do not know, but think it not at 
all unlikely. M. B. D.

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 of dissatisfaction.
