Intestinal Worms in Fowls 
What is the cause and remedy for 
worms in fowls and chickens? They are 
in the blind gut, and are thin and long 
like a needle or fine wire. I have fount 
them in young chicks two to three months 
old, and once in last year’s fowls. Birds 
have a range of an acre or more. There 
is a brook on the lower side, and that 
causes more or less wet, but the upper 
part runs from light loam to sand. Last 
Fall it was limed and plowed, and seeded, 
but they soon make it bare on the upper 
part; the rest is always green. The. house 
is 16x30, cement, floor, and is kept clean. 
It is sprayed with a good disinfectant, 
also the roosts are oiled with oil from 
the car. As far as I can see the birds 
are kept better than most flocks. As 
my chickens grow I remove the old to 
other quarters and the young take the 
place. My brooder is stationary, but the 
yard dirt is removed each season and 
new earth put in its place. I have 200 
or more in that run now, after the broil¬ 
ers are all removed. I am at a loss to 
tell the cause. I have all good stock and 
the oldest has started to lay, but the ones 
I have killed mope and get thin and I 
suppose would soon die. There are other 
places near here where they have the 
same trouble and have lost lots by death. 
All drinking pans are washed and fresh 
water in them every day, and feeding 
troughs for mash are also kept clean. 
Middletown, Conn. w. M. c. 
Intestinal worms of fowls are spread 
by the picking up their eggs or worms 
themselves that have passed from the di¬ 
gestive tract of infected fowls. In view 
of the rapidity with which such parasites 
multiply, it is not strange that large 
flocks may become infested from a single 
source or that infestation sometimes be¬ 
comes so serious as to make a flock un¬ 
profitable through lack of thrift. A 
small number of intestinal worms in 
fowls seem to do little harm, but too 
large a number may produce serious con¬ 
sequences. Where a flock becomes badly 
infested the tobacco treatment may be 
used to reduce the number of worms and 
keep the trouble in check. For each 100 
birds, one pound of finely cut tobacco 
stems are steeped for two hours in enough 
water to cover. Liquor and stems are 
then mixed with moist mash and fed in 
mid-afternoon to fowls fasted since the 
previous day. Several hours later, one 
pound of Epsom salts is mixed with about 
three quarts of moist mash and fed where 
each bird will get its share. Good to¬ 
bacco should be used and worms and 
eggs that are passed should be removed 
or so protected that re-infestation will 
not quickly occur from their being picked 
up. M. B. I). 
Feeding Hens and Pigeons 
What should I feed my flock of 20 
hens? I am now feeding, morning, 3 lbs. 
prepared feed, evening, 2 lbs. scratch 
feed, 14 lb. bran. Would this do for an 
egg-laying hem? They also have grit and 
charcoal before them all the time. I 
also keep a few pigeons and do not know 
just the right thing to feed them. 
White Plains, N. Y. j. h. m. 
The scratch feed is best fed both morn¬ 
ing and night, giving a little in the morn¬ 
ing, perhaps one-fourth of the day's 
whole grain ration, the rest at night. The 
20 hens will probably eat from a quart 
to a quart and a half per day. The mash 
may be kept always before them, dry. If 
you have no dry mash hopper, you can 
feed it in an open box of any size, or a 
jar, cutting a piece of large mesh hard¬ 
ware cloth to fit loosely in the box or jar 
and laying this upon the top of the mash. 
The hens will eat the mash through the 
meshes of the wire and that will follow 
the feed down as it is consumed, keeping 
the hens from scratching it out and wast¬ 
ing it. A good commercial mash, such 
as you are feeding, is all right and you 
can feed either a commercial scratch feed 
or cracked corn and wheat in about equal 
quantities. Where only 20 fowls are kept, 
the labor of buying and mixing one’s own 
feeds is hardly worth while. Pigeons are 
fed upon hard grains, like corn, wheat, 
hulled oats, Kaffir corn, Canadian peas, 
etc. It is not necessary to have all of 
these grains; such as are available may 
be used. Ready-mixed grains may be 
purchased for feeding pigeons. They 
should always have fresh water before 
them, grit and some green food.
