Respiratory Trouble 
A number of my chickens are ailing 
with a disease which causes them to walk 
around gasping for air. They also have 
diarrhtea. They are kept in a small back¬ 
yard enclosure, and are fed with scraps 
from the table, grain, etc. What its this 
disease, and what is the remedy? c. s. 
Pennsylvania. 
The gasping for air indicates some ob¬ 
struction in the organs of respiration, 
such as may be caused by catarrhal in¬ 
flammation of the lining membrane, or the 
more severe inflammation of bronchitis or 
pneumonia, or by the presence of fungus 
growths derived from moldy, musty litter. 
Exposure of the fowls to cold drafts or 
damp quarters predisposes to any of these 
affections by diminishing the bird’s power 
of resistance. The affected birds should 
he placed in dry. warm quarters and fed 
upon soft, easily digested food, while any 
known causes of trouble are removed. 
Cracks which permit cold drafts upon the 
fowls while upon their perches should he 
closed, their quarters should be made 
clean and dry, and the use of old. musty 
leaves or other similar unhealtliful litter 
should be avoided. Strong, vigorous birds 
will recover from attacks of moderate 
severity, hut the weaker members of the 
flock are likely to succumb. m. b. d. 
Fattening Capons 
Will you give me some information re¬ 
garding White Wyandotte capons? I am 
going to take these capons at four months 
of age and feed them in the best possible 
way. What ration, in your opinion, will 
bring them to market size the quickest? 
Will one cent a day feed them in good 
shape? IIow much should these birds 
weigh, average stock and well fed. at 
8 and 10 months of age? H. J. F. 
Rhode Island. 
Capone of this breed should weigh from 
10 to 12 lbs. when ready for market, they 
usually being kept for about 10 months 
to reach their full development. A grow¬ 
ing ration is fed for the first months, this 
consisting of cracked corn, wheat and 
oats for whole grains and some such com¬ 
bination as equal parts of cornmeal. 
wheat middlings, ground oats, wheat bran 
and meat scraps as a mash. This latter 
should he fed moistened to a crumbly 
state to induce the largest possible con¬ 
sumption. During the last four to six 
weeks a more fattening ration is fed, this 
containing a larger proportion of corn- 
meal and ground oats. A finishing ration 
of 2 lbs. of cornmeal, 1 lb. ground oats, 
1 lb. of wheat middlings and 8 lbs. skim 
or buttermilk may he fed for the last two 
or three weeks. When feeding heavily in 
finishing, care must be taken not to cloy 
the appetites of the birds and get them 
“off their feed.” 
Costs_ vary so with the price of feeds 
that it is impossible to fix any figures of 
real value. The Indiana Experiment 
Station found that it cost $1.66 to raise 
a 9%-lb. Plymouth Rock capon in 1916; 
the following year the cost had increased 
to $2.32. It is probably quite safe to 
say that, where all feeds must be pur¬ 
chased. it will require a very excellent 
market, indeed, to permit the grower to 
show any profit. m. b. d.
