Fireless Brooders 
Would you give me information in re¬ 
gard to “tireless brooders”? I have 400 
chicks almost three weeks old that I 
would like to take out of the brooder 
house, and build another house for them 
with the “fireless” idea in view, so that I 
can use the brooder house with the coal 
stove for 500 more baby chicks. Out of 
the 400 chicks about one-half are cock¬ 
erels. E. Y. s. 
Lincoln City, Del. 
The fireless idea is not adapted to 
flocks of 400 chicks, and I should not 
like to recommend any form of it to you. 
I have raised flocks of from 100 to 125 in 
fireless brooders—standard 3xG-ft. brood¬ 
ers, with lamp heaters removed, but -even 
this requires experience and considerable 
work. The coal stove-brooder heater has 
displaced the fireless idea, except perhaps 
for very small flocks, where considerable 
attention can be given the chicks. If you 
build another brooder house for this flock 
you may use an oil-burning brooder heat¬ 
er with satisfaction, 'turning out the 
flame during the warm part of the day 
and using it only when needed at night 
or during a cold storm ; or you may get 
along with an oil stove in the building 
when needed after this time of the year, 
though this will need close watching. I 
have never been able to run an oil stove 
of ordinary design, or even a large lamp, 
in a brooder house without, sooner or 
later, having it smoke and give trouble 
to the extent of endangering the building 
and flock by fire. I have used for emer¬ 
gency purposes a very large Rochester 
burner lamp in a brooder house this sea¬ 
son, lighting it temporarily if the coal 
fire went out and left the room too cold, 
but have had to watch it closely, and 
cannot recommend such a heater. A 
lighted barn lantern or two will burn 
safely, however, and if but little heat is 
needed, answer a very good purpose. 
M. B. D. 
Suspected Cholera 
I have several hundred chicks, and I 
noticed recently blood on the floor where 
roosting. I believe that some chicks are 
discharging the blood. Will you give me 
your opinion of what causes the bloody 
discharge? We give permanganate of 
potash to young and old fowls in drink¬ 
ing water. We have also noticed that 
our old fowls’ combs are turning white. 
They sit in one place all day and do 
not eat, but they have a yellowish dis¬ 
charge (fluid). c. d. 
Maryland. 
Your fowls may be affected with fowl 
cholera, in which case there is nothing 
that can be done for the sick birds. Yel¬ 
low and green discharges, perhaps bloody 
also in the acute form, are noted in this 
disease. Cholera is highly contagious, 
the discharges and the blood of affected 
fowls conveying the disease to healthy 
members of the flock. When present, this 
disease calls for vigorous measures of 
isolation and disinfection of utensils and 
premises, with disposal of all sick fowls in 
such a way that no other animals can 
get at their carcasses. 
You may, of course, have a less serious 
trouble to deal with and may be able to 
cheek it by removing all sick birds from 
the flock and cleaning up and disinfecting 
the quarters used. If the flock is on 
range, search should be made for the car¬ 
casses of dead animals or other poisonous 
food that may have been found upon the 
premises. The food given, too. should be 
examined to see that none of it is musty 
or mouldy. A dose of Epsom salts, one 
pound to each 100 fowls, may be given in 
all the drinking water that the flock con¬ 
sumes in one day, or may be mixed with 
a moist mash and so fed that each fowl 
gets its share. In case of spoiled food 
having been eaten, this will clear out the 
digestive tract and promote recovery. 
• M. B. D. 
Brooder Pneumonia 
What is the trouble with our young 
chicks? Two weeks ago we bought 100 
Reds and 100 Rocks, day-old chicks; have 
them in good brooder house with a coal 
stove. We started to feed them with 
buttermilk chick starter; gave them best 
of care ; have lost 50 Rocks and 18 Reds. 
Chicks have a good appetite and plenty 
of exercise. In a very short time they 
get weak and cannot walk, and in a few 
minutes die. Post-mortem examination 
shows the lungs covered with yellow 
spots. Several of them have very small 
lunge. We have been raising chickens 
for several years, but never met any¬ 
thing like this before. g. c. m. 
Catawissa. Pa. 
Your finding of yellowish spots in the 
lungs suggests aspergillosis, or brooder 
pneumonia. This is a disease, very fatal 
in young chicks, caused by a fungus 
growth derived from musty food, moldy 
litter or other vegetable matter. The 
fungi are inhaled and fix themselves up¬ 
on the mucous membrane of the respira¬ 
tory tract, the lungs and air sacs, where 
they multiply. The yellowish tubercules 
or spots formed by the growths may also 
be found upon other internal organs. 
There is usually evidence of obstruction 
to breathing present, aside from the 
dumpiness and weakness that precedes 
death. P>reathing may be rapid and 
noisy. In very acute forms of the dis¬ 
ease, no yellow tubercules are found, the 
chick dying from the inflammatory pro¬ 
cess before tubercules are formed. A 
whitish diarrhoea is likely also to be 
present. There is no treatment for chicks 
already affected. The disease should be 
guarded against by avoidance of musty or 
moldy food or litter and generally good 
hygienic care. If the disease is trans¬ 
mitted through the egg, as bacillary white 
diarrhoea is, even these measures may not 
avail. m. b. D. 
An ancient car chugged painfully up 
to the gates of the races. The gatekeeper, 
demanding the usual fee for automobiles 
called, “A dollar for the car!” The 
owner looked up with a pathetic smile 
of relief. “Sold,” he said.—McKendree 
Review. 
EGG-LAYING CONTEST 
In answer to many questions about thip egg- 
layinr contest, the following facts are given; 
It is held at Storrs Postoffice in connection 
with the Connecticut Agricultural College. The 
contest begins November X. There are 10 pul¬ 
lets in each pen. All the birds receive uniform 
treatment. The houses are all alike, and the 
feed is the same for all. The contest continues 
for one year. The weekly records cover the 
number of eggs laid for each pen in the current 
week, and also the total number of eggs laid 
since the first of last November. The contest 
will end November 1, at which time these birds 
will be removed, and another set of pullets 
entered for the next year.
