The  Henyard 
Obstructed  Windpipe 
Can  I  treat  a  sick  ben  that  apparently 
has  something  lodged  in  her  windpipe? 
There  is  a  rattle  in  her  throat,  and  at 
intervals  she  opens  her  bill,  at  the  same 
time  making  a  loud  squawk.  Her  comb 
is  dark.  w.  E.  c. 
Woodstock,  Yt. 
Open  this  hen’s  mouth  and  see  if  you 
can  find  any  obstruction  to  the  windpipe 
within  reach.  There  is  sometimes  a  ring 
like  growth  of  a  fungus  nature  at  the  en¬ 
trance  to  the  windpipe  that  can  be  seen 
as  a  yellowish,  soft  mass  and  that  can 
be  removed  by  means  of  a  sliver  of  wood 
passed  gently  down  to  it.  If  the  obstruc¬ 
tion  is  deep  within  the  windpipe,  I  am 
afraid  that  there  is  nothing  that  you  can 
do  to  help  the  bird.  m.  b.  d. 
Practical  Poultry  House 
Would  you  be  kind  enough  to  send  me 
information  as  to  kind  of  poultry  house 
you  recommend.  a.  s. 
New  York. 
I  have  no  particular  favorites  among 
the  various  styles  of  poultry  houses, 
though  it  seems  to  me  that  the  more 
simply  and  inexpensively  they  can  be 
constructed,  without  violating  the  prin¬ 
ciples  of  sanitation,  convenience  and 
comfort,  the  better.  There  is  no  ques¬ 
tion  that  the  simple  shed  roof  type  of 
building,  with  provision  for  ventilating 
by  means  of  windows  in  one  side,  all 
other  sides  being  air  tight,  is  most  popu¬ 
lar,  and  I  know  of  no  other  style  of 
building  that,  for  general  use,  is  super¬ 
ior.  Poultry  houses  were  formerly  made 
too  shallow,  but  they  are  now  usually 
built  at  least  18  ft.  in  depth  and  frequent¬ 
ly  24  ft.,  being  made  long  enough  to  give 
the  required  floor  space  of  from  3  to  4 
sq.  ft.  per  hen.  Walls  of  single  thick¬ 
ness  are  sufficiently  warm  if  air  tight, 
though,  in  especially  cold  climates,  dou¬ 
ble  walls  are  used.  An  overhead  straw 
loft  adds  materially  to  warmth,  but  it 
also  furnishes  an  ideal  breeding  place  for 
mice,  and  is  disliked  by  many  on  that 
account.  Floors  are  best  made  of  con¬ 
crete.  Roofing  of  some  one  of  the  good 
brands  is  commonly  used,  shed  roofs  hav¬ 
ing  too  little  pitch  for  wood  shingles.  The 
lower  the  building  the  warmer  it  will 
be,  but  head  room  for  the  caretaker 
should  be  provided.  For  a  building  20 
ft.  deep,  the  front  wall  should  be  about 
9  ft.  in  height,  the  rear  wall,  4%  or  5 
ft.  It  should  face  the  south  or  east,  with 
windows  on  the  sunny  side  and  these  ar¬ 
ranged  to  drop  back  into  the  building 
for  a  few  inches  at  their  tops  for  venti¬ 
lation  ;  removable  in  warm  weather.

Treating  Poultry  Diseases 
On  page  S87  one  of  your  subscribers 
asks  about  aspergillosis.  We  were  ad¬ 
vised  to  use  tobacco  treatment,  but  that 
isn’t  our  only  trouble.  They  also  tell  us 
that  the  ehickens  have  coccidiosis.  Please 
tell  us  in  plain  American  language  what 
kind  of  disease  that  is  and  what  causes  it. 
We  were  told  to  use  crude  eatchu  or  iron 
sulphate,  but  do  not  know  how  much. 
Massachusetts.  _  f.  F. 
Coccidiosis  means  a  disease  caused 
by  coccidia,  and  coccidia  are  animal  para¬ 
sites  so  small  in  size  that  they  can  be 
seen  only  with  the  aid  of  a  microscope. 
They  might  be  termed  germs,  only  that 
this  term  is  usually  applied  to  minute 
organisms  that  really  belong  to  the  vege¬ 
table  kingdom,  though  they  live  in  animal 
bodies.  These  coccidia  are  found  wide¬ 
spread  wherever  birds  and  small  .animals 
live.  They  are  picked  up  with  food  and 
drink  and  multiply  in  the  intestines  of 
the  birds  that  harbor  them.  When  in 
sufficient  numbers,  or  in  birds  that  have 
not  sufficient  resistive  power  to  overcome 
their  effects,  they  produce  disease  and 
death. 
The  tobacco  treatment  is  one  for  in¬ 
testinal  worms,  not  one  for  coccidia. 
Worms  are  also  animal  parasites,  but  one 
doesn’t  need  a  misroseope  to  see  them. 
Catechu  is  recommended  for  coccidiosis : 
one-third  of  a  teaspoon  is  added  to  each 
gallon  of  drinking  water  given  the  fowls 
and  this  is  supposed  to  make  the  intes¬ 
tines  of  the  birds  drinking  it  a  disagree¬ 
able  place  for  coccidia.  Like  all  such 
remedies,  it  is  a  better  preventive  than 
cure.  When  a  young  bird’s  digestive 
organs  have  become  badly  infested  by 
parasites  it  is  hard  to  dislodge  them.  Bet¬ 
ter  give  something  early  in  life  that  will 
not  harm  the  bird  but  will  make  the 
“bugs”  seek  a  more  congenial  home ;  still, 
the  advice  given  you  to  use  catechu  is 
probably  the  best  that  can  be  given  and 
you  can  use  it  as  above  indicated,  m,  b.  n. 
Line-breeding 
(Will  you  explain  line-breeding  in  poul¬ 
try?  Is  it  practical?  I  have  one  setting 
of  very  good  chickens ;  would  it  be  pos¬ 
sible  to  mate  one  of  the  roosters  to  the 
pullets  with  any  success?  Can  you  give 
me  the  points  of  a  show  bird,  both  rooster 
and  hen ;  MRS.  J.  w.  C. 
Banks,  Ore. 
Bine-breeding  consists  in  following  a 
single  line  down,  breeding  a  sire  or  dam 
to  the  progeny  and  such  closely  related 
individuals  as  brother  and  sister  and 
cousins.  It  is  inbreeding  along  a  certain 
line.  The  objections  to  it  are  that  it  in¬ 
tensifies  any  defects  in  the  blood  of  the 
family  that  is  inbred.  The  value  of  it 
is  that  it  intensifies  any  good  traits  also. 
If,  by  selection,  the  bad  traits  can  be 
minimized,  while  the  good  are  perpetu¬ 
ated  and  made  more  prominent,  line,  or 
inbreeding  is  a  valuable  means  of  im¬ 
provement.  If  proper  selections  are  not 
made,  however,  “the  bad  that  always 
wants  to  crop  out  in  breeding  will  get 
the  upper  hand  and  spoil  the  progeny  of 
line-bred  fowls,  or  other  animals.  Line- 
hreeding  is  practiced  by  skillful  breeders, 
and  is  one  of  the  chief  means  of  securing 
improvement  in  a  flock  or  herd.  There 
is  no  objection  to  mating  cockerels  and 
pullets  of  your  flock,  provided  that  the 
individuals  mated  are  of  good  type, 
strong,  vigorous  and  possess  the  quali¬ 
ties  which  you  wish  to  perpetuate. 
“Show  points”  vary  with  the  breed. 
What  is  proper  in  one  is  highly  objec¬ 
tionable  in  another.  “The  American 
Standard  of  Perfection,”  published  by  the 
American  Poultry  Association,  gives  the 
points  sought  in  breeding  of  all  recog¬ 
nized  breeds.  It  is  a  copyrighted  publi¬ 
cation  and  cannot  be  reproduced  here.

Ailing  Ducklings 
What  is  the  matter  with  my  ducks? 
Home  are  six  weeks  old,  ranging  down  to 
two  weeks  old.  I  have  to  keep  them 
shut  up  as  they  go  to  the  creek  and  some¬ 
thing  catches  them.  They  have  running 
water  fresh  from  the  spring.  I  have  been 
feeding  them  wheat  bran,  conmeal  and 
oatmeal.  First  I  gave  them  wheat  bran 
and  eornmeal,  mostly  wheat  bran  after 
they  began  to  die.  Some  said  it  was  the 
wheat  bran  and  than  1  gave  them  more 
eornmeal.  They  will  sit  around  stupid 
for  a  while,  then  seem  to  have  fits,  and 
some  will  die.  Others  get  over  it  but 
none  act  right.  They  will  get  spells  of 
not  walking;  have  to  carry  them  in  the 
coop.  The  little  ones  get  out  and  run,  but 
come  back,  and  they  seem  to  die  as  well 
as  the  ones  that  are  shut  in  all  the  time. 
Will  you  tell  me  what  to  feed,  and  do 
for  them?  I  have  46  left  at  present. 
They  have  green  feed  and  grit. 
Prattsville,  N.  Y.  mbs.  j.  p. 
The  symptoms  which  you  give  might 
indicate  that  your  ducklings  were  suffer¬ 
ing  from  cramps  caused  by  getting  wet. 
Give  plenty  of  clean  drinking  water,  not 
too  cold,  and  arranged  so  they  cannot  get 
wet.  D'o  not  let  them  get  in  the  water. 
I  would  not  advise  very  much  bran,  ex¬ 
cept  as  mixed  with  other  feed.  Try  mak¬ 
ing  a  johnny  cake  of  two  parts  oatmeal, 
two  parts  wheat  middlings,  one  part  bran 
and  one  part  eornmeal,  stirred  with  but¬ 
termilk  or  sour-milk  if  possible  and  the 
proper  amount  of  soda,  then  bake  thor¬ 
oughly.  Crumb  this  into  milk  or  butter¬ 
milk,  or  water  if  they  are  not  available, 
then  feed  in  a  dry,  crumbly  state.  If 
they  are  not  on  free  range,  they  should 
have  about  five  per  cent  of  beef  scrap 
with  the  rations.  This  is  not  necessary 
if  they  are  out  where  they  can  get  bugs 
and  worms.  It  is  also  necessary  to  give 
the  grit  and  green  feed  if  they  are  shut 
up.  MARIE  BETTS. 
Vaccinating  Against  Roup 
Will  you  explain  the  process  of  vac¬ 
cinating  fowls  against  roup?  IIow  is  it 
done?  Is  it  also  a  preventive  for  birds 
that  had  roup  before?  What  time  of  the 
year  is  best  to  do  the  inoculation?  M.  s. 
Vaccinating  against  roup  is  done  by  in¬ 
jecting  a  few  drops  of  a  liquid  prepara¬ 
tion  under  the  skin  beneath  the  wing,  an 
ordinary  large  hypodermic  syringe  being 
used  for  the  purpose.  Two  or  three  in¬ 
jections,  at  intervals  of  three  days,  are 
recommended.  The  protection  is  believed 
to  last  about  a  year.  The  liquid  used  is 
called  “Avian  Bacterin,”  and  is  supplied 
by  several  manufacturers,  or  producers. 
It  is  the  latest  method  of  attempting  to 
control  roup,  chickenpox  and  other  poul¬ 
try  diseases,  and  appears  to  promise  well. 
It  has  not  been  used  for  a  sufficient 
length  of  time,  however,  to  justify  posi¬ 
tive  conclusions  as  to  its  practical  avail¬ 
ability  in  controlling  these  diseases.  It 
may  be  used  at  any  time  of  the  year,  but 
is  a  preventive,  rather  than  a  cure,  and 
should  be  used  before  an  outbreak  of  dis¬ 
ease.  M.  B.  D.

ORGANIZED 
CO-OPERATION 
A  New  Book  By  JOHN  J.  DILLON 
This  hook  is  written  in  three  parts. 
PART  ONE — The  Development  of  the 
Agricultural  Industry.  In  five  chapters. 
PART  TWO — Fundamental  Principles 
and  Adaptable  Forms  of  Co-operative 
Organization.  In  ten  chapters. 
PART  THREE  —  Application  of  Co¬ 
operation  to  Efficient  and  Economic  Dis¬ 
tribution  of  Farm  Products.  In  seven 
chapters. 
This  is  a  new  treatment  of  the  co¬ 
operative  subject.  Heretofore  writers  of 
books  have  contented  themselves  with  ac¬ 
counts  of  co-operative  work  where  estab¬ 
lished.  It  has  been  mostly  propaganda 
and  exhortation.  This  was  all  good  in 
its  time.  But  we  have  grown  beyond  it. 
Farmers  are  now  committed  to  co-opera¬ 
tion.  Once  shy  of  it,  they  are  at  last  a 
unit  for  it.  What  they  want  now  is 
principles  and  definite  policies  that  have 
proved  successful.  This  book  is  the  first 
real  attempt  to  supply  this  want.  Other, 
and  it  is  to  be  hoped  better,  books  will 
follow  on  this  line;  but  for  the  present 
there  is  no  other  hook  seriously  treating 
the  subject  of  organized  co-operation.
