Flush Cows After Calving 
Protect your herd against Contagious 
Abortion and Barrenness. 
Barrenness 'or Sterility, like Abortion, 
Retention cf After-birth and Premature 
Rirth, is nearly always caused by infection of 
the reproductive organs by the germs of 
Contagious Abortion. Unless this infection 
js promptly overcome by the use cf a powerful 
tout safe antiseptic, it may permanently 
attect the reproductive organs so that the 
cow will continually fail to stick. 
Every time a cow drops a calf—whether 
©live or dead—by premature birth or abort- 
ing, whether the after-birth is retained or 
not, her reproductive organs should be 
flushed out, because that is where the in¬ 
fection is developing. 
B-K, the powerful non-poisonous anti¬ 
septic, is scientifically correct for this work 
Used as a douche for the uterus, it quickly 
brings the after-birth, dissolves the slimy 
albuminous matter, kills the germs, stops 
discharges and controls the infection. B-K 
does not cause straining, but is soothing and 
heals the tissues.

The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Pigs in a Chicken Brooder 
Here's a picture of nine pigs and their 
foster mother. Their mother died when 
they were six hours old. We put them in 
the chicken brooder and raised them all. 
They are now lusty hogs. Perhaps this 
may be a help to some other R. N.-Y. 
readers. w. d. ballabd.

Weight of Broilers 
ITow much should a chicken weigh, or 
how old should it be before being placed 
in crate for fattening for broiler? 
Ticonderoga, N. Y. av. m\ w. 
It is not customary in this part of the 
country to crate-fatten chickens for broil¬ 
ers. Chickens which are intended for 
market during the broiler age, which runs 
from six weeks of age for squab broilers 
to 12 weeks for the regular size, can be 
fattened more efficiently by feeding upon 
the proper rations with birds running in 
pens of limited size. Crate-fattening is 
usually practised with chickens intended 
for market as roasters weighing 5 lbs. or 
more each. For this purpose the large or 
general purpose breeds are best, and they 
are placed in the crates at the age of 12 
to IS weeks. At this time they should 
average Sy 2 to 4 lbs. each, which has 
been found the most profitable size for 
crate-fattening. c. s. G. 
The Light in the Henhouse 
I notice on page 20G an article by Mon¬ 
roe. Reeves in which he objects and rather 
Tidicules the idea of using artificial light 
for hens. I happened the other day to 
Orphan Pigs in a Chicken Brooder 
visit one of our foremost poultrymen in 
New Brunswick, It. A. Snowball, of 
Chatham. He has an up-to-date henhouse 
with a cotton front, and the breeds he 
uses are White Leghorn and White Wyan- 
dottes. In the month of January just 
passed, his 152 hens, a large proportion 
being pullets which did not start to lay 
until the middle of the month, laid 2,750 
eggs, one hen laying 29 eggs in the 31 
days. Mr. Snowball attributes a large 
part of his success to the fact that he is 
using artificial lights. His lights are 
turned on about half past five or six 
in the morning till daybreak. Then in 
the evening they are kept turned on until 
nine o’clock. He says that very often 
at nine o’clock he will see a large number 
of hens at the self-feeders busy feeding, 
and he claims that had they been on the 
roost as they would have been had it not 
been for the lights, they would have been 
minus that much feed to keep them 
warm, and that much less food with 
which to produce eggs, and it must be 
remembered that a hen laying 29 days out 
of 31 must certainly require more food 
than can be taken in in such a short time 
as allowed by our short Winter days. 
You will be glad to know that in northern 
Now Brunswick we have a very staunch 
supportin’ of artificial light in the person 
of Mr. Snowball. jas. BEEN neb, jb.
