“Back up Biddy” 
with Malox 
Keep your Hens Happy and Laying 
Are your hens comfortable at night? Or 
do mites swarm out of cracks and crevices by 
thousands to suck their life blood, lower 
their vitality and reduce egg production? 
Mites, unlike lice, hide by day. Spray the hen¬ 
house thoroughly with Malox and your birds will be 
free from mites and can lay better. It mixes instantly 
with cold water. One quart makes four gallons of 
spray. Sticks for several months until it wears off. 
Hens can’t scratch mites and lay eggs at the same time. 
Back up Biddy with MALOX and get more eggs. Write 
today for name of nearest dealer, and we will also send you 
our large illustrated book “PROTOX for Poultry.” It is 
worth having.

Attack on Hen 
1. Recently we found a hen lying dead 
in our chicken run. She seemed to have 
been attacked by some animal. We have 
no rats that we know of, and a dog could 
not go in, as the wire door was closed. 
Only a small door about 8xlfi inches was 
open inside the run. There is a roof on 
the run, as it was a woodshed previously. 
Do you think a weasel would come 
through wire and attack a chicken from 
underneath at the stomach? 2. Gan any 
medicine be given a hen to induce sit¬ 
ting? m. M. 
New Jersey. 
1. There are a number of beasts of prey 
that could have killed this chicken, of 
course, but the nature of the wound indi¬ 
cates a very possible attack by the other 
inmates of the coop. It very frequently 
happens that a fowl suffers from pro¬ 
trusion of the oviduct, this protrusion 
forming a red mass that attracts the at¬ 
tention of the others. Other fowls pick¬ 
ing at it cause bleeding, and the taste of 
blood turns the Hock into cannibals of 
tlie most unrelenting and vicious sort. They 
will chase and pick the unfortunate fowl 
and keep at it until they have torn the 
entrails from the body and killed their 
victim. 
2. I know of no special food that will 
induce sitting, though generous feeding 
accompanied by heavy laying seems to 
encourage the maternal instinct. For 
that matter there is nothing that can be 
given that will make them lay, that is, 
nothing other than food. The advertised 
nostrums guaranteed to make hens lay 
are fakes, pure and simple. M. u. d.
