20 Extra Quarts of Milk 
Count ’em From Every Sack of 
Internationa! Special Dairy Molasses Feed 
as compared to using wheat feed or ground 
grains. We guarantee this increase has been 
secured in hundreds of actual tests. Both 
protein and molasses produce milk. Inter¬ 
national Special Dairy contains both. This 
great feed is digestible and palatable and is 
skillfully processed and mixed, thus insur¬ 
ing a big extra gain in milk. Accept no 
substitute. Inferior brands otfered by other 
mills cannot produce the same profitable 
results as International Special Dairy. Order

THE HENYARD 
When To Feed Mash 
Should my hens have their mash in the 
morning or at night? I have been feed¬ 
ing it to them at night, but some of my 
friends say that it would be best to feed 
them mash in the morning. I would like 
to have you tell me what you think. 
Pennsylvania. W. K. 
Most poultrymen prefer to feed the 
poultry mash dry and to keep it con¬ 
stantly before the flock in open hoppers. 
A light feeding of grain is then given 
in the morning, and all the grain that 
the fowls will consume before they go 
to roost at night. If feeding a moist 
mash, I should feed it at noon, giving 
the whole hard grain at night in order 
that the fowls might have something in 
their crops as long as possible during the 
long Winter nights. A light feeding of 
grain in the morning induces exercise 
upon the part of the fowls as they scratch 
for it in the litter; they will eat dry 
mash all day, in small quantity at a 
time, and,fill up with hard grain at night, 
if given the opportunity. M. B. D. 
Retained Yolks; Crooked Breastbone 
What is wrong with some of my chick¬ 
ens? They sit around, eomb a purplish 
red, and in a few days the birds die. We 
find the yolks of the eggs almost like 
hard-boiled eggs, which I know they 
could never lay. Also the breastbone is 
crooked. mrs. a. g. 
Newtown, Square, Pa. 
If you find these “‘hard-boiled” yolks in 
the abdominal cavity, outside of the ovi¬ 
duct, it is because the yolks do uot find 
their w r, ay into the proper channel, or are 
expelled from it by a reverse action of 
the muscles, and drop among the intes¬ 
tines, where they may be partially ab¬ 
sorbed or may accumulate in masses of 
considerable size. If germs of infection 
find their way to them, they may become 
a source of infective poisoning, resulting 
in the death of the bird. Sometimes, how¬ 
ever, no harm appears to ensue so far as 
the health of the bird is concerned, but 
her usefulness as a layer is past. Crooked 
breastbones result from pressure upon 
them in the young chicks. The best way 
to prevent them is to get the chicks into 
the habit of roosting upon perches early. 
M. B. D, 
Trouble After Kerosene Dip 
I bought 70 year-old liens. Some I 
found bad scaly legs. Thinking to benefit 
the fowls, we dipped their legs in kero¬ 
sene, which has been followed by weak¬ 
ness and diarrhoea, and in three days they 
stopped laying; were too weak to get on 
the roost. Since we applied the kerosene 
19 have died and others are nearly dead. 
Later w r e greased the legs and breast 
with “Vaseline,” hoping to save the flock. 
The feathers came out when we greased 
them as clean as if they had been scalded 
for kicking. Is there anything we can 
give the fowls to save them? h. x;. b. 
New Jersey. 
If this trouble is due to the kerosene. I 
judge that you tried to do a too thor¬ 
ough job, probably getting- the feathers of 
■the upper part of the leg and of the body 
wet. This should be avoided when dip¬ 
ping fowls’ legs for scaly leg. I know of 
nothing that you can do now except to 
give the hens good care and let them get 
over the effects of the dipping. It is 
possible, of course, that there is some 
other trouble present and that its oc¬ 
currence after the dipping was only co¬ 
incidence. M. B. D. 
House for Large Flock 
I am interested in building a poultry- 
house for 1.000 hens. What can you 
say as to the wider type of house, say 
33 ft.? j. x. 
Beaver, Pa. 
The old-fashioned poultry-houses that, 
for some unknown reason, were built very 
long and narrow, have been superseded 
on* modern poultry plants by deep houses 
that give greater floor space w-ith the 
same wall area and greater comfort to 
the occupants when opened in front for 
ventilation. I do not know of any limit 
to the depth which should be observed, 
provided that light can be admitted well 
toward the rear of the building, and the 
half monitor, or saw-tooth, roof admits 
sunlight to a building of any depth. A 
depth of 20 ft. is a common one. many 
buildings being 20 ft. square, or having 
sections 20x20 ft. if a long house ; 33 ft. 
is perhaps, unusually wide, but I know 
of no reason why that depth is not prac¬ 
ticable. Some wide houses are provided 
with large doors at each end, so that a 
team and wagon may be driven through 
for cleaning and placing litter. A shed 
roof is, of course, not practicable much 
beyond a depth of 18 ft., and a gable roof 
is necessary where very deep buildings 
are constructed, unless the saw-tooth 
style is adopted. Floor, walls, etc., are 
the same in tvide and narrow houses; 
ventilation is accomplished by means of 
open front, though, in a very deep house, 
windows would be required in the ends 
for light. If you have plans for a house 
of the depth that you mention, we shall 
be very glad to offer any criticisms that 
suggest themselves. M. B, D.
