Doctoring Fowls Through Drinking 
Water 
What would you advise putting in 
water to be given to adult turkeys to 
kill any blackhead germs or other disease 
germs which might be present, and would 
later he given to the young in the Spring? 
Is there anything better than perman¬ 
ganate of potash in the water for young 
poults? What should be placed in the 
water given to old geese to kill any 
germs which might he present? What 
should he put in water given to young 
geese to keep them healthy during Spring 
and Summer? What should he given to 
chickens one to two years old to kill any 
germs present? What should he given 
young chickens during Spring and Sum¬ 
mer to kill any disease germs which 
might be taken from the parent birds? 
New York. c. M. 
The use of germ destroyers in the 
drinking water of young fowls has had 
many advocates, and all sorts of claims 
of success have been made by those who 
have tried different disinfectants. Per¬ 
manganate of potash has had many advo¬ 
cates as a preventive of white diarrhoea 
and other bowel ailments, while others 
have claimed good success from the use 
^ copperas or greeu vitriol. It is doubt- 
'nl if any of these substances are very 
ellectual, for no one has determined what 
strength of the disinfectant is needed to 
destroy certain germs, even in the digos- 
tivo tract. In the ease of old fowls the 
germs of blackhead and of white diarr¬ 
hoea have their seat in the liver, and it 
is doubtful if a strong enough solution 
of any germicide could he safely given to 
destroy the disaese germs and not harm 
the birds. If such a thing were practical 
some of our many animal disease special¬ 
ists at the colleges or experiment stations 
would have found it out. 
On the other hand, it seems quite pos¬ 
sible that disease germs that may he 
taken in with the food of young birds 
might he prevented from finding lodgment 
in the digestive tract by the use of some 
mild disinfectant used in the drinking 
water. The many cases where apparent 
success 1ms resulted from the use of such 
materials would seem to show that there 
are possibilities of success along this 
line. On the other hand, prevention is 
always better accomplished by keeping 
the germs from entering the system of 
the young birds, by adopting the most 
cleanly methods possible, or by prevent¬ 
ing the transmission of the disease from 
the parent stock by knowing that such 
stock is free from the disease. The latter 
has been proven practicable in the case 
of white diarrhoea by having tin* parent 
birds examined and all diseased speci¬ 
mens removed from the flock before the 
breeding season. In. the case of black¬ 
head in turkeys it now seems likely that 
the disease may he prevented from be¬ 
coming serious in the young birds by 
preventing the introduction of the germs 
from the droppings which come in con¬ 
tact with the food. c. s. P. 
Rye for Poultry 
Our crop of Winter rye turned out very 
good, and we intended feeding some of 
it to the chickens, but were told by a 
friend that rye is not good for chickens. 
Will you advise us whether this is true? 
New York. A. V. B. 
We conclude that rye lias about the 
same feeding value ns wheat, but our j 
own poultry will not eat it readily. Throw 
on the ground a mixture of wheat, corn, 
oats and rye. and the other grains will 
be eaten first—the rye usually left. The 
same seems true of most other stock. Tin 
best way we have found to feed the rye is 
to crush it with oats, wheat and corn and 
feed the mixture ns a mash. In that way 
you got good results from the grain .

POULTRY 
Having recently purchased a hotel, am desirous 
of disposing of my Single Comb White Leghorn 
breeding stock to make room for a larger breed. 
Have a pen of 350 hens now, giving a 50Ufc pro¬ 
duction. These birds nre the result of 7 years 
of trap-nested, line and selective breeding by 
myself, with a Tom Barron infusion 3 years ago. 
My strain, known as the Wild Rose Producers, 
would be a big asset to anyone desiring to start 
the poultry business in advance of the customary 
way. as they have had 7 years of thought and 
study on my part to develop a better Leghorn. 
Will include 15 males now mated. Price $1,000.
