Limberneck 
We are losing hens with limberneck. Is 
there a cure ? mrs. r. j. f. 
Give the affected fowls a dose of Epsom 
salts, a small teaspoonful to an individ¬ 
ual, or 1 lb. to each 100 birds, if flock 
treatment is desired. Dissolve in a little 
water and add to moist mash, or dissolve 
larger amounts in what drinking water 
will be consumed in the day. Then find 
the decayed meat or other spoiled food 
responsible for the trouble and remove it 
from the flock’s reach. m. b. d. 
Stale Bread for Hens 
I have an opportunity to obtain a large 
quantity of stale bread from a hotel near 
by at 50 cents per barrel. If I should 
dry and grind such bread to a meal, what 
ingredients should I add to it to make a 
mash feed for hens? f. a. e. 
Bread has about half the feeding value 
of wheat middlings, but contains more 
moisture and is more subject to molding, 
besides being less well liked by most ani¬ 
mals. Ground stale bread, free from 
mold, could doubtless be substituted for 
wheat middlings in any mash mixture. 
As it contains but about one-half the 
amount of protein found in standard 
wheat middlings, some additional amount 
of a high protein ingredient of the mash 
might be used, if desired. Bread ranks as 
a wheat product, of course, and would 
naturally be used as such. M. B. D. 
A White Wyandotte pullet weighing 3% 
lbst on July 4, at 11 weeks of age. The 
owner, Frank B. Ireland of Essex Go., 
Mass., disclaims the use of either art or 
science in the rearing of his birds, keep¬ 
ing them in the backyard, in a pen 10 by 
15 ft., and on ground packed as hard as 
concrete. Neither has he pampered them, 
feeding them but twice daily and upon 
hard grains; green stuff cut and thrown 
to them. He has fed them both yeast 
and codliver oil from the start, however, 
and believes that these have contributed 
largely to the thrift and growth of the 
birds. It isi a good illustration of what 
can be done with a small flock in a back¬ 
yard, but it won’t do to argue from this 
that large flocks could be kept in the same 
way over a period of years without 
trouble. 
Sod Poultry Range 
Will you give me advice as to seeding 
a poultry range to green stuff for pasture 
for several thousand chickens? I have 
a flat field long, not square; the soil is 
of sandy loam, with quite a lot of cobble¬ 
stones. There must be 18 acres or more 
of land. We cannot afford to plow up 
all the field and would like to know what 
you would advise to sow in plots in dif¬ 
ferent parts of field. Some spots in the 
fields look good and others are sour, with 
moss and briers and sweet fern growing. 
Could I sow Hungarian grass, millet, 
Soy beans, rape, or what mixture would 
you advise? Next Fall I will pqt in 
some rye and grass and clover. What 
are the best grass and clover seeds to 
sow for poultry grazing? I like a good 
turf for them to run over. This field 
will always be used for chicken range, 
and grass cannot interfere with any 
farming operations near by. E. s. T. 
For a permanent sod poultry range 
there is nothing better than Alfalfa if 
you can grow it there. If not, I would 
sow Timothy and a little Red-top with 
the Fall grain, and clover seed should 
be sown about the last of March. We 
use six qu&rts of Timothy and four of 
clover. The clover seed is mixed two 
parts Medium Red and one part Alsike. 
We do not use the Red-top here, but it 
would no doubt be good for your land 
there. 
For early Summer use I would sow 
some of the sections of land near the 
houses with oats and barley mixed, equal 
parts, as soon as possible in Spring. Sow 
quite thickly, about 2 y 2 bushels per acre 
of the mixture. This will give you good 
green feed early in the season. You 
could then make successive sowings about 
a week apart for three or four weeks 
if you have room. Then about the first 
of June plant a field of corn in a cen¬ 
tral location easily accessible to the 
chicks from all the colony houses. In 
each row of corn, between the hills plant 
Soy beans. The corn makes excellent 
shade for the chicks, and the Soy beans 
come on for green feed about the first of 
July, and last practically all the season. 
If you have large chicks running on the 
range of course it would be necessary 
to protect the corn with a temporary 
fence until it is six inches or a foot high, 
depending on the number of chicks and 
their age. c. s. greene.
