THE HENYARD 
Preventing White Diarrhoea in Chicks 
About a year ago I read <>f a very 
simple preventive for white diarrhoea in 
chicks. It was to be put in the drinking 
water. What was it? mrs. ir. j. m. 
Marion, N. Y. 
Many oeople have used permanganate 
of potash for this purpose, adding enough 
to thei drinking water of the chicks to 
turn it. a rather deep wine red. If you 
will give milk in some form to your chicks 
from the start, feeding all that they will 
eat, you will find it a better preventive 
of diarrhoea than any drug that I know 
of, however. M. B. D. 
Questions of Egg Production 
I am very much interested in the ar¬ 
ticles by Mr. Cosgrove on the feeding of 
poultry,' and particularly in the article on 
page (JOS. I have 155 White Leghorn 
pullets and 35 older hens. These pullets 
began laying in September last, and have 
laid fairly well since, sometimes during 
the Winter reaching nearly 50 per cent, 
but. most of the time around 35 per cent. 
The entire flock is now laying 00 to 05 
per cent, and at no time have exceeded 
05 per cent. I find on computing my 
ration according to table on page 008 that 
1 am feeding an excess of whites over 
yolks. At. one time during the Winter 1 
increased the whole grain or yolk-produc¬ 
ing element, and immediately there was a 
drop in egg production, and when I with¬ 
held the whole grain, thereby forcing 
them to eat more mash, they came back 
to their former production. I feel that I 
should have obtained a greater produc¬ 
tion, and 1 should like to have Mr. ('os- 
grove tell me where I am wrong. The 
following is the ration I have been feed¬ 
ing: For the whole grain. 300 lbs. 
cracked corn, 150 lbs. wheat, 75 lbs. oats, 
75 lbs. buckwheat; mash, 100 lbs. each 
bran, white middlings, cov.imeal. gluten, 
ground oats, 120 lbs. scrap. They are 
eating more of the mash than of the 
whole grain. d. w. s. 
Otego, N. Y. 
The experience of D. W. S. is similar 
to mine, ns stated in my article on page 
(iOS, with my Tt. I. Reds, which reached 
a production of 90 per cent. The feeding 
of a surplus of protein seems to stimulate 
egg production, when the fowls are in 
good condition, and have fat enough in 
their systems to draw on to furnish the 
fat in the yolk. 
Naturally if an abrupt change is made 
in the ration and part of the supply of 
whites is cut off, the egg production would 
drop off. But it might not be altogether 
the ration that caused the falling off, as 
noticed by D. W. S. Leghorns are much 
more susceptible to weather changes than 
the American breeds, and a spell of cold 
weather, or a succession of dark, chilly, 
sunless days might be partly responsible 
for the low production. The egg produc¬ 
tion on a neighboring farm, where about 
1,000 White Leghorns are kept, dropped 
down to 24 eggs during a very cold 1 week, 
the ration fed being the same all the time. 
It is a wonderful but well-known fact 
that Leghorns will draw all the yellow 
coloring matter from their legs and beaks 
and from their ear lobes, if there is any 
yellow tinge to them (some Leghorns 
have bluish white ear lobes with no yel¬ 
low in them) when they are laying well, 
to furnish the coloring matter for the 
yolks. It is an easy matter to pick out 
the best layers in a flock c' ..c^orns 
that have been laying well fora consid¬ 
erable period ; they will be the ones with 
white legs and beaks, while the poor lay¬ 
ers will still retain their niee yellow legs 
and beaks. But when they stop laying 
that yellow coloring matter rapidly comes 
back again. 
It has been found that liens lay best 
when they consume at least as much dry 
mash or ground grain as they do of the 
whole or cracked grain. If' D. W. S. 
had gradually increased the quantity of 
corn meal in the dry mash, instead of fill¬ 
ing them up with whole corn, probably 
there would have been less change in the 
egg production. gfo. a. cosgrove.
