A Satisfactory Ration 
For the past seven years I have been 
feeding my young chicks on the following 
lation: Starting feed, one part sifted 
beef scraps, to six parts ground rolled 
oats, with^ two feeds a day of chick 
scratch. Growing feed, two parts rolled 
oats, two parts wheat bran, tw T o parts 
cornmeal, one part beef scraps, one-half 
part linseed meal, with scratch morning 
and night. Laying ration, equal parts 
bran, middlings, cornmeal, gluten and 
meat scraps, with scratch morning and 
night. I would like to add buttermilk to 
the above rations, as every poultry writer 
advocates the use of buttermilk. Would 
it be necessary to cut down on the meat, 
if buttermilk was used? I have had very 
good results with the above mashes; have 
had birds 2 lbs. eight to 10 weeks, and 
hens laying from 190 to 220 eggs a year 
—-trapped birds. What is you opinion of 
ihe above rations? I copied them from 
the Maine Station at Orono. h. h. 
Norwalk, Conn. 
Your rations are very good illustra¬ 
tions of the fact that there is no hard and 
fast rule to be followed in feeding. There 
are numerous combinations and a great 
variety of foods that can be used success- 
costs shall be taxed in favor of the plain¬ 
tiff unless there shall appear that demand 
■was made upon the defendant for the pay¬ 
ment of the claim sued for not more than 
SO days nor less than three days prior to 
the bringing of the action. And in no 
case when wages are attached shall the 
taxable costs exceed one-half of the 
amount of damages recovered in such ac¬ 
tion. No assignment of future earnings 
can prevent their attachment unless made 
to secure a bona fide debt, nor unless the 
assignment is acknowledged and recorded 
in the town clerk's office. There are cer¬ 
tain articles of personal property ex¬ 
empted from execution. So much of any 
debt which has accrued by reason of the 
personal services of the debtor as shall 
not exceed $15 shall be exempt, and not 
liable to be taken by foreign attachment 
or execution. 
2. You will need an attorney to make 
an attachment and he will be able to fig¬ 
ure out the costs of the proceedings and 
the proper steps to be taken. 
3. We believe there is no way by which 
you can obtain the wages due to a soldier 
for payment of your claim. In order to 
satisfy yourself you might write to the 
Paymaster General of the United States 
Army, Washington, D. C. 
fully in rearing chicks and feeding ma¬ 
ture hens. Old-fashioned chicks lived and 
thrived upon a sole ration of cornmeal 
wet up with cold water, and I have 
known of very modern flocks that did the 
same; still, there is no doubt that, kept 
under modern intensive conditions, flocks 
Curing Rupture Without Operation 
What do you think of the advertised 
method for rupture treatment which 
claims to cure it without an operation? 
If there is anything in it I would try 
it; if there isn’t anything in it you have 
doubtless heard of it before now. 
New York. j. s. m. 
of chicks need more care in the com¬ 
pounding of their rations and that a 
proper balance between protein and car¬ 
bohydrate constituents of the food given 
needs to be considered. The animal body, 
whether human or that of lower animals, 
can adapt itself to greatly varying condi¬ 
tions and thrive, but there is no use in 
putting an unnecessarily great strain 
upon it by forcing it to overcome too 
great handicaps. 
By adding buttermilk, or sour milk, 
you add to the protein content of your 
ration, and it will be well to cut down 
somewhat that already given in meat 
crap. When all the milk that chicks 
will consume is fed, meat is not needed. 
I think it better, however, to give some 
meat scrap, even when an ample supply 
of milk it at hand. Sour milk, or its 
equivalent, buttermilk, has other food 
value than that contained in its protein, 
and is almost indispensable in chick feed¬ 
ing. I am surprised that you have not 
used one or the other before. M. B. D. 
Cannibal Fowls 
I am having very serious trouble in one 
of my poultry houses. Our last Spring 
pullets, 550 in number at this time, have 
developed into a bunch of cannibals. We 
are losing pullets almost every day. I 
am feeding everything I know. They 
have plenty of room and free range when 
weather conditions will permit. Evi¬ 
dently the best layers are the birds at¬ 
tacked; picked oviduct is the trouble. Is 
there any way to stop the trouble? Our 
pullets are laying well, but this trouble 
has become very annoying, as well as a 
big loss. M. F. B. 
Virginia. 
I do not know of any way to prevent 
fowls from picking at the everted ovi¬ 
ducts of their mates which are suffering 
from this trouble, a trouble which is very 
common in heavily fed pullets that have 
been forced to high egg production 
through the Winter. Possibly the smear¬ 
ing of pine tar over the vents of those 
birds showing a slight degree of the 
trouble might help; any serious case 
should, of course, be removed from the 
flock. If the flock can be given its liber¬ 
ty, the temptation to attack each other is 
much lessened and the vice may be for¬ 
gotten, but I know of no food or method 
of feeding that will influence it. A red 
mass protruding is an invitation to other 
fowls to peck at it, and a taste of blood 
arouses fowls to fury. M. B. D. 
Attachment for Debt 
1. What is the garnishee law in Con¬ 
necticut? 2. What steps are necessary 
to put an attachment on property, and 
cost of same? 3. A man cleared out and 
Joined the army, leaving a large bill for 
board as well as money lent him. R. B.

No advertised “rupture cure without 
the knife” is worth a moment’s considera¬ 
tion. Thousands of men are ruptured 
and would like to be cured without op¬ 
eration ; this fact makes them a fertile 
field for the quack who has some marvel¬ 
ous method of accomoplishing the cure. 
A rupture is simply the descent of a 
portion of the intestine through a natural 
channel in the abdominal wall that has 
become stretched and enlarged until it 
permits the escape of a loop of intestine 
that, otherwise, would stay up in place. 
In young people this opening frequently 
closes up with the growth of the body 
and gives no trouble. A natural “cure” 
in this way may occur in an adult, par¬ 
ticularly if the rupture can be constantly 
held in place by a suitable truss. If na¬ 
ture cannot care for the trouble, unaided, 
however, there is nothing for it but arti¬ 
ficial closing of the channel by the sur¬ 
geon. Nothing rubbed upon the skin, no 
injection to cause inflammation and con¬ 
sequent sticking together of the channel 
walls, and no outside appliance can be 
depended upon to cure a rupture. The 
only safe plan, when a rupture is of such 
nature as to be dangerous to life, through 
possible strangulation, is to consult a re¬ 
liable and competent surgeon and be 
guided by his advice as to the particular 
case. Quackery is profitable only to the 
quack. M. B. D.
