Another Freak Egg 
Reading on page !)41 of Mr. Van Ars¬ 
hiles threefold egg, I am prompted to 
vrite of an egg I found some time ago in 
lur henhouse. We ljad a hen that laid 
in egg too thin shelled to be salable, and 
lat cn one side, sometimes every day, 
ometimes every two days. One night I 
vas gathering the eggs and found, on the 
-round, one of these eggs. Attached to 
he end of it was an uneven, twisted- 
ooking appendix of membrane about an 
noli long,.and on the other end of the 
ippendix another egg covered with just 
nough membrane to hold its shape. Both 
ggs held the usual amount of yolk and 
ilbumen. mrs. olova hustle.

Gapeworms in Chickens 
On page 910 some one ask^ for a cure 
>r gapeworms This is something that 
not impossible is very uncertain, but 
revention is very easy. A very seien- 
fie country doctor, who took up medical 
ractice at Franklinville, N. Y., in 1864, 
>ok up the gapeworm question in or 
about 18S7. and solved it. or so satisfied 
the English government that he received 
a reward of £50 offered for its solution. 
After careful investigation he decided 
these worms were bred in angleworms 
living in barnyards and chip piles, and 
experimented by feeding chickens when 
young on angleworms taken from chip 
piles. In every instance he produced 
gapes, and even produced the disease in 
a young robin so fed. The prevention 
consists in keeping chickens on dry floors 
in wet weather, and only letting them 
run when the ground is dry and the 
worms well below the surface. 
II. R. CURTIS. 
Stale Bread for Chicks; Big Wings 
1. What do you think of feeding stale 
bread to small chicks, also how feed it? 
2. What is the cause of chicks getting 
large wings that hang to the ground, the 
chick apparently too weak to hold them 
up 
V 
After ;1 few days the chick dies. 
Connecticut. 
R. II. S. 
1. Stale bread that is not moldy is a 
very suitable food for young chicks, but 
it should be fed in addition to cracked 
hard grains and meat scrap. It is a one¬ 
sided ration alone, lacking in some of the 
mineral elements and protein needed for 
the chick’s best development. It is best 
fed dry. 
2. Anything which produces lack o,f 
vigor in a chick may be responsible for 
hanging wings. J.ice are frequently re¬ 
sponsible, and improper f'-t-ding. brooding, 
etc., as well as actual disease, may be 
evident in this condition. M. R. D. 
Starting in the Poultry Business 
I have been in the electrical business 
for the past 15 years. On account of 
failing health I have decided to purchase 
a small hen farm. Would you advise 
which of the New England or North At¬ 
lantic States are best suited to this line 
of business. c. c. D. 
Maine. 
I do not know that it matters which 
State one conducts a poultry business in. 
It is a business of too wide extent to re¬ 
quire any particular location for its suc¬ 
cessful prosecution. The North Atlantic 
and New England States are near the 
great consuming markets of the country, 
and have that advantage over some of the 
others'. Poultry products are universally 
consumed, however, and no one is likely 
to build up a business of that kind that 
will fail because of insufficient outlet. 
In general, the best place is right where 
•you are. If there are manifest disadvan¬ 
tages there, or if one has no local inter¬ 
ests and is looking for a place to live and 
work, reasonable proximity to some of 
the large markets of the country is de¬ 
sirable. A good location will be on a 
railroad affording good shipping facilities 
and where poultry feeds can be purchased 
without paying any premium over ordi¬ 
nary markets. It will also be in a desir¬ 
able place in which to live, for the poul- 
tryman’s place of business is also his 
home. A good place to conduct any busi¬ 
ness is where that particular business is 
being conducted. Concentration brings 
marked advantages along many lines, not 
the least of which is the facility which 
it affords for co-operation. m. b. d.
