Loss  of  Chicks 
I  purchased  250  chicks,  brought  them 
home  and  put  them  in  brooder-house. 
Thermometer  was  registering  100  degrees, 
Fahr.  I  just  left  them  in  their  shipping 
eases.  After  the  evening  chores  were 
done,  son  and  I  went  to  the  brooder-house 
then  put  them  under  hover  and  gave  close 
attention  to  them.  Brooder-house  is 
probably  12x12 ;  height  from  peak  to 
floor,  514  ft.,  concrete  floor.  Cut  hay  on 
floor  all*"  the  time.  Gave  thick  milk  to 
drink  next  morning.  They  began  pick¬ 
ing  at  each  other’s  toes,  the  stronger 
pulling  the  weaker  over,  they  falling  on 
back  at  times,  so  gave  them  two  hard- 
boiled  eggs  rolled  in  bread  crumbs  and 
fine  cornmeal.  Then  started  feeding  baby 
chick  buttermilk  mash  in  hoppers  and 
scratch  feed  in  the  litter.  I  had  this 
mash  before  them  all  the  time,  as  well 
as  thick  milk  and  water.  They  consume 
about  two  quarts  of  thick  milk  a  day. 
In  morning  thermometer  was  down  to  80 
under  hover.  This  drop  in  temperature 
was  fatal  to  many  of  the  chicks,  as  about 
100  have  died.  Whenever  I  took  coal 
ashes  out  of  stove,  shoveled  on  the  floor ; 
they  seemed  to  like  and  eat  greedily  of 
this ;  also  put  sand  and  sods  into  house, 
cleaned  brooder-house  every  third  or 
fourth  day.  Is  there  such  a  thing  as 
eating  too  much  coal  ashes  if  before  them 
all  the  time?  Was  buttermilk  mash  dry 
in  hoppers  before  them  all  the  time  and 
thick  milk  also  too  much  milk?  Some 
tell  me  chicks  will  not  eat  too  much  mash 
if  in  dry  form.  Is  that  a  truth?  Will 
earth  placed  upon  brooder-house  floor  be 
equal  to  mother  earth  outside  for  the 
first  four  weeks  of  little  chicks? 
Pennsylvania.  j.  F.  F. 
I  have  never  known  chicks  to  eat  too 
much  coal  ashes.  They  need  to  be  sup¬ 
plied  with  fine  chick  grit  when  food  is 
first  given,  and  if  they  are  not,  they  will 
doubtless  cat  more  of  the  ashes.  It  does 
not  seem  likely  to  me  that  these  chicks 
got  too  much  milk ;  certainly  not  in  liquid 
form,  and  I  do  not  think  that  the  amount 
in  the  mash  made  an  excess.  If  all  the 
milk  that  chicks  will  consume  is  given, 
nearly  or  quite  all  of  the  beef  scrap  usu¬ 
ally  made  a  part  of  the  mash  should  be 
omitted,  lest  they  get  too  much  animal 
protein.  There  is  some  danger  in  over¬ 
feeding  young  chicks  upon  high  protein 
foods.  If  the  chicks  neglected  grains  and 
devoted  too  much  time  to  their  dry  mash 
containers,  it  would  be  best  to  curtail 
their  access  to  the  latter;  but  the  hard 
grains  are  more  palatable  and  are  usu¬ 
ally  eaten  in  preference.  No,  earth  and 
sods,  kept  moist,  will  help  when  chicks 
cannot  be  given  an  outdoor  run,  but  they 
are  not  a  full  and  satisfactory  substitute.

Depraved  Appetite 
What  can  you  do  to  young  chicks  that 
develop  a  liking  for  their  droppings,  es¬ 
pecially  when  they  get  three  or  four 
weeks  old,  and  keep  on  till  they  die? 
We  are  feeding  them  according  to  direc¬ 
tions  of  the  Connecticut  Experiment  Sta¬ 
tion.  Last  year  we  raised  800  pullets 
up  to  three  or  four  months,  when  they 
got  sick,  and  after  losing  about  500  we 
sold  the  rest.  They  seemed  to  be  wasting 
away  gradually.  This  year  we  lost  from 
the  three-weeks-old  chicks  a  good  many 
with  the  same  symptoms,  only  that  this 
year  they  show  more  difficulty  in  breath¬ 
ing.  We  started  today  the  catechu  in 
water.  M.  W. 
I  know  of  no  better  remedy  for  a  de¬ 
praved  appetite  than  access  to  clean  sod, 
where  tender  roots  may  be  dug  up  and 
occasional  bugs  and  worms  found.  Cate¬ 
chu,  like  all  remedies  so  used,  should  be 
given  early  to  prevent  coccidiosis,  rather 
than  depended  upon  to  cure  well-devel¬ 
oped  cases.  M.  B.  D. 
Possible  Roup 
We  have  a  number  of  R.  I.  Red  hens 
now  about  two  years  old.  Lately  one  or 
two  have  developed  a  swelling  under  one 
eye  that  on  examination  shows  a  yellow 
matter  to  be  present  in  one  side  of  the 
mouth.  This  yellow  matter  lines  the 
opening  of  a  duct  or  orifice  that  leads  to 
a  cavity  below  the  eye.  The  growth  or 
secretion  does  not  extend  over  the  inside 
of  the  mouth  as  a  whole,  but  is  limited 
to  the  orifice  of  the  duct  that  originates 
in  the  cavity  under  the  eye.  Do  you  think 
this  a  manifestation  of  roup?  There  is 
no  foul-smelling  discharge  from  eyes  or 
nostrils,  no  watering  of  eyes,  etc.  Birds 
are  laying  well,  and  seem  active  and  well 
in  other  respects.  w.  d.  t. 
This  cavity  and  duct  are  subject  to  in¬ 
flammation,  with  altered  secretion  and 
the  formation  of  cheesy  masses.  Whether 
or  not  of  roupy  nature  depends  upon 
whether  the  germs  of  roup  are  present. 
It  is  probably  safest  to  assume  that  they 
are  and  remove  the  affected  fowls  from 
the  flock.  The  cavity  may  be  opened  with 
a  clean,  sharp  blade,  cleaned  out  with 
some  mild  antiseptic  solution,  like  boric 
acid  in  water,  and  then  dressed  with  dry 
boric  acid,  used  as  a  dusting  powder.  If 
the  wound  heals  well  and  the  trouble  is 
evidently  cured,  the  bird  may  be  returned 
to  the  flock,  but  if  a  discharge  continues 
there  is  danger  that  it  may  be  the  source 
of  trouble  among  healthy  birds  later.
