THE HENYARD 
Cannibal Chicks 
I notice several of your correspondents 
are in despair over “cannibalistic” chicks. 
Had weather sometimes makes it impos¬ 
sible to get very young chicks out of doors 
and. if the picking habit has been started, 
no tamer diversion will satisfy the little 
rascals. Here is a method that has been 
entirely successful with us for several 
years: Keep a cup of creosote for any 
“dip”), full strength, in the brooder house 
where it will he handy. Visit the chicks 
often, and, at the very first sign of 
trouble, apply the creosote to the bloody 
spot. When the toes have been picked at, 
we dip the feet into the cup. It is it good 
plan to dip the feet of weak chicks when 
they are put into the brooder. Try it, 
and then watch a busy little “toe picker” 
get “his.” Use the creosote carefully, as 
it smarts when applied to the sore places 
or gets into the eye. b. g. c.

Flashlight for Egg Testing 
T use a flashlight to show the tempera¬ 
ture of the incubator when hatching, and 
1 thought it would he a handy tiling for 
testing eggs, so I made a tester as illus¬ 
trated. I cut it hole in the bottom of a 
quart can just large enough t<> allow a 
flashlight to enter. Then I cut a piece of 
felt from an old soft, hat and tied it over 
the top end. I cut it 1 14 -in. hole in the 
center of the felt and stretched it tightly. 
T then fastened the can to it short piece 
of board with broom wire. I then insert¬ 
ed the flashlight in the hole in the bot- 
Homemadc Flashlight Er/r/ Tester 
tom to within about tin inch of the felt 
curtain. Lastly, I fitted -a slotted board 
under the protruding end of the flashlight 
to hold it in place, and my tester was 
ready for use. When the eggs were ready 
to test 1 tried it out and found it superior 
to the lamp tester I had been using. It 
shows nit the contents of dark-shelled eggs 
much better. It has smother advantage 
over the lamp tester—it doesn’t get. hot 
before you get through with the job. 
East Brook, Pa. j. r. 
On page (ITT I noticed an article by W. 
11. W. of Orlaud, Cal., about an electric 
egg tester. He did not probably take into 
consideration that, every poultryman did 
not have electricity on his premises and 
so will tell some of the poultrymen how I 
do my testing without the aid of electric¬ 
ity. A few years ago 1 visited one of the 
largest poultry farms in Connecticut and 
saw there a device. They do their testing 
by electric light, setting the tray of eggs 
on a stand and sliding the electric lights 
hack and forth, and pick out the clear 
eggs as fast as they can do so. Before I 
started the next season l built a rack of 
about tin* right height and th -n got a 
large-sized flashlight, and by setting the 
I ray of eggs on the rack and hold'Mg tlie 
flashlight in under the tray with one 
hand, with the other hand 1 pick out the 
clean eggs as fast as I can do so. T can 
test about 900 to 1.000 eggs in an hour's 
time. 
I do not have electricity on my place, 
nor is there any line on my road, so when 
I read the article by W. If. W. I thought 
I would write about the way I lest several 
thousand eggs a year, as maybe it would 
benefit some other poultryman who. like 
myself, has no electric light. it. M. M.

Questions About Minorcas 
Is the Single Comb Black Minorca a 
heavier bird than tljo Itose Comb? Weight 
uf both varieties, cock, cockerel, lien and 
pullet? Does the Single Comb gel broody 
like the White Wyandotte? Is the Rose 
Comb inclined to broodiness? Do both 
varieties lay a white egg? Is the egg 
large? MRS. G. F. 8. 
< Nmuecticut. 
The standard weight of the Single 
Comb cock birds is 9 lbs. and of the hens 
j 7 l /> lbs., while the Rose Comb cock birds 
| weigh S lbs. and the liens (!*?• lbs. Neither 
the Single nor the Rose Comb Minorcas 
are inclined to broodiness. They are 
sometimes used for hatching purposes, hut 
in general such breeds as the R. I. Rods, 
the Wyandottes or the Plymouth Rocks 
are to be preferred as sitters. Both kinds 
of the Minorcas lay large white eggs. 
Both of these breeds require warmer hous¬ 
ing in Winter than many other breeds. 
This is especially true of the Single Comb 
Minorcas. as their long, heavy combs are 
inclined to freeze in very cold weather. If 
this happens egg production is almost sure 
to cease for several weeks, and often until 
mild weather comes again, c. S. piielps.
