SPECIAL NOTICE 
Those purchasing eggs lor 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 hea* 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.

Bloated Qhicken 
What is the matter with my chicken? 
It is seven weeks old. About a week ago 
oue side of the chicken bloated. We 
picked it open and wind came out. Now 
it seems stiff in its legs, like rheumatism. 
New York. mrs. g. f. 
An escape of air from some of the air 
passages, probably because of obstruction I 
and rupture, sometimes shows itself iu an 
accumulation of air beneath the skin in 
blister-like formations. This air may be 
removed by puncturing the skin, but it is 
doubtful if any other treatment is worth 
while if the bird continues ill. Even if 
recovery follows the chicken is likely to 
prove of little value later. M. b. d. 
Spring has been wet generally two days 
out of three. Roads bad ; now hard ; dry, 
deep ruts. Help scarce; everything high. 
Our R. F. D. men have their day’s work* 
laid out wheu they start ou their trips 
here without putting 10 to 15 miles more 
on the 28 to 80 miles they now have. I 
wish the head men could have had to 
drive some of these layouts this Spring; 
then they would kuow first hand. c. c. K.
