Ailing Hens 
I have a few hens that have some ner¬ 
vous trouble. I should say. They twist 
the head around and at times throw it 
back half way to the tail, and cannot aim 
straight for a particle of food with others, 
.vet pick enough and look well. One has 
laid all season. What is the cause, 
what the remedy? Is it anything making 
them unfit to eat? They look well. If 
frightened they fly; they alight as badly 
as Darius Green. c. B. s. 
New York. 
I do not know the cause of this nervous 
trouble, though it has been suggested that 
it may be due to the irritation of intes¬ 
tinal worms. Acting upon that supposi¬ 
tion, a teaspoonful of spirits of turpen¬ 
tine mixed with another of sonm oil 
might be given them and the dose repeat¬ 
ed after a time if apparently of good ef¬ 
fect. I know of no reason why the flesh 
of these fowls should not be entirely 
wholesome. m. b. d. 
How Do 
You KNOW 
When Hens 
Are Healthy? 
'T'HKRE is one sure way to size up the 
1 condition of poultry. No, it is not 
examining their combs and plumage. 
Easier, simpler— 
Do they lay ? 
As long as your birds keep perfectly 
well and are not moulting, you ought 
to get eggs no matter what the season. 
And if you are not finding all you 
should, don’t wait till combs grow dull, 
feathers lose their gloss and hens act 
mopey. Get busy now. Get
