THE  HENYARD 
Dark-colored  White  of  Eggs 
I  give  hens  the  hest  feed  and  the  best 
attention.  We  have  been  shipping  eggs 
to  the  market  and  they  were  not  kept 
more  than  a  week.  The  white  part  of 
the  egg  was  black  as  coal  after  they  were 
boiled.  Most  of  them  were  good.  They 
have  been  well  kept  and  had  plenty  of 
ventilation.  I  would  like  to  know  what 
the  cause  is,  and  how  I  could  prevent  it?

Heavy  feeding  upon  rape,  green  clover 
and  other  green  stuffs  may  color  the  egg 
contents  or  give  them  an  undesirable 
odor.  Perhaps  you  have  turned  your 
flock  into  a  field  of  rape  or  green  clover; 
if  so,  remove  the  birds  and  give  them 
green  stuff  in  limited  quantities  until 
they  have  become  accustomed  to  it  and 
eat  less.  m.  n.  d. 
Feeding  to  Avoid  Molt 
We  have  some  pullets  that  were 
hatched  in  March,  and  are  now  laying  a 
small  number  of  eggs.  I  have  been  feed¬ 
ing  grain  and  a  low  protein  mash  to  keep 
them  from  laying.  If  I  start  in  feeding 
a  laying  mash  (same  as  fed  hens)  I  can 
make  .them  lay  35  per  cent  or  better. 
Will  they  molt  if  fed  a  laying  mash  in 
(lie  middle  of  September?  H.  j.  M.

*  I  'HERE’S  real  money  in  hatching  chicks 
-*■  — if  you  go  into  it  right.  The  Wishbone 
Way  is  the  right  way  to  go  into  it. 
Why  sell  your  eggs  for  2c  or  4c  ?  Hatch  them  into 
chicks  that  will  bring  you  20c  to  30c  each.  Sell 
day  old  chicks.  With  the  Wishbone,  it  is  the 
easiest,  most  pleasant,  most  profitable  way  to 
make  money. 
We  can  show  you  how  to  make  real  money — how 
to  get  into  a  business  that  offers  boundless  oppor¬ 
tunities.  The  800  egg  Wishbone  Single  Section 
will  start  you  in  business.  You  can  grow  and 
expand  out  of  your  net  profits.  It  is  so  easy  to 
operate,  a  woman  can  run  it  in  five  minutes  a 
day — and  make  this  extra  money  without  inter¬ 
fering  with  her  housework. 
Equal  to  4  Lamp  Incubators 
This  wonderful,  compact  Mammoth  measures 
only  4  ft.  8  in.  x  6  ft.  It  can  be  putin  any  room  in 
the  house  —  in  your  cellar  —  in  l fact,  almost  any 
place  you  have  available.  It  has  four  separate  egg 
compartments — each  holds  200  eggs,  and  each  can 
be  set  on  a  different  day  or  all  four  together. 
No  Hand  Labor 
The  highly  perfected  blue-flame  oil  heater  re¬ 
quires  no  chimney,  has  no  wicks,  and  uses  a  3- 
gallon  tank  that  needs  refilling  only  once  a  week. 
No  odor,  no  mess.  All  the  eggs  are  turned  auto¬ 
matically — no  hand  labor.  The  heat  and  ventila¬ 
tion  of  each  individual  compartment  are  auto¬ 
matic.  These  are  exclusive  Wishbone  features. 
Automatic  Egg  Turner 
The  Wishbone  is  the  machine  that  has  been 
used  for  years  by  big  hatcheries  and  poultry 
farms  throughout  the  world.  It  is  built  by  the 
man  who  invented  the  first  Mammoth,  and  in¬ 
cubator  is  fully  guaranteed.  This  800  egg  Section 
is  a  standard  unit  of  the  famous  Wishbone  Mam¬ 
moth — new  sections  can  be  added  as  you  grow — 
up  to  48,000  capacity  in  one  incubator.  You  should 
double  your  capacity  and  income  every  year. 
This  low  price  means,  “ Act  A/OW” 
The  price  now  is  only  $195.  Think  ofit!  This  mam¬ 
moth  that  is  easiest  to  run,  hatches  the  very 
best  chicks  known,  makes  the  most  money ,  sells 
for  much  less  than  4  lamp  incubators  giving  the 
same  capacity.  While  this  price  holds  we’ll  be 
swamped  with  orders.  Get  your  order  in  early 
and  have  your  machine  for  the  beginning  of  the 
season  at  the  low  special  price.  Order  direct  from

March-hatched  pullets  that  are  forced 
to  quick  maturity  by  heavy  feeding  upon 
high  protein  foods  during  the  Summer 
a’-e  apt  to  lay  a  few  eggs  in  the  Fall  and 
then  molt,  thus  delaying  real  egg  pro¬ 
duction  until  the  following  Spring.  This 
may  be  avoided  if,  when  it  is  seen  by 
reddening  combs  and  other  evidences  of 
early  maturity  that  the  pullets  are 
“ripening”  too  fast,  mash  is  withheld 
and  whole  grain  fed.  March-hatched  Leg¬ 
horns  should  begin  laying  in  September, 
however  and.  if  you  have  fed  low  pro¬ 
tein  mashes  during  the  Summer  and  have 
not  tried  to  force  these  pullets  to  quick 
maturity,  I  do  not  think  that  you  need 
fear  any  trouble  from  this  source.  Do 
not  make  sudden  changes  in  the  ration 
fed,  however  substitut  e  the  high  protein 
laying  mash  gradually  and  make  all  other 
necessary  changes  in  their  care  with  cau¬ 
tion.  Sudden  changes  in  feeding  or  sur¬ 
roundings  after  pullets  have  begun  laying 
may  induce  molting  at  any  time.  A  lay¬ 
ing  mash  is  usually  fed  chickens  after 
about  three  months  of  age  as  a  develop¬ 
ing  mash.  I  presume  that  you  have  been 
overly  cautious  in  feeding  these  pullets, 
rather  than  otherwise.

THOMAS  REILY  .  Plymouth,  Maw. 
I  have  about  40  chickens,  some  full 
grown  and  some  smaller.  About  six  in 
the  flock  have  what  looks  to  me  like  tape¬ 
worm.  Their  droppings  are  light  brown, 
streaked  with  white,  and  I  occasionally 
see  pieces  of  flat  worm.  I  have  not  lost 
any  birds,  hut  would  like  to  rid  them  of 
worms.  A.  G. 
New  Jersey. 
Taneworms,  while  possibly  present,  are 
not  likely  to  exist  iu  sufficient  numbers  to 
do-serious  harm.  If  it  is  thought  that  they 
are,  however,  they  may  be  expelled  by  ad- 
minstering  10  to  20  drops  of  oil  of  che- 
nopodium,  American  wormseed  oil.  in  a 
teaspoon  of  castor  oil,  after  the  birds  have 
fasted  24  hours.  The  treatment  may  be 
repeated  after  10  days.  Another  remedy 
for  tapeworm  in  fowls  recommended  by 
poultry  authorities  is  a  teaspoon  of  pow¬ 
dered  pomegranate  root  bark  for  each  50 
birds?  given  in  the  feed  and  followed 
after  a  few  hours  by  a  physic,  such  as 
Epsom  salts,  a  teaspoon  to  each  fowl,  dis¬ 
solved  in  water.  Remedies  for  tapeworms 
are  not  apt  to  be  as  effectual  as  are  those 
for  the  more  common  round  worms,  and, 
fortunately,  are  not  as  often  needed.

Natural  Gas  for  Poultry  Plant 
iWe  are  promised  a  supply  of  natural 
gas  i;i  about  60  days,  and  we  wish  to 
know  if  it  is-  possible  to  get  as  good  re¬ 
sults  in  operating  the  mammoth  incu¬ 
bators  and  the  brooding  of  chicks.  We 
have  incubator  capacity  of  75.000  eggs, 
and  we  brood  about  6,000  chicks  per 
year.  We  have  been  using  hard  coal  so 
far  for  the  brooders  and  heating  up  the 
incubators.  It  seems  to  me  that  we 
would  get  more  even  heat,  and  that 
would  mean  better  results.  Which  is 
the  cheaper  fuel,  hard  coal  at  $17  per 
ton.  or  the  natural  gas  at  $1  per  1,000 
cubic  feet?  j.  p.  o. 
Versailles,  O. 
While  I  have  had  extensive  experi¬ 
ence  in  operating  small  incubators  and 
brooders  with  manufactured  gas,  I  have 
never  used  natural  gas  for  large  ma¬ 
chines,  but  see  no  reason  why  it  should 
not  work  very  well  if  you  get  the  right 
kind  of  burners  and  have  a  steady  gas 
pressure.  I  think  you  will  find  hard 
coal  at  $17  per  ton  is  cheaper  than  gas 
at  $1  per  1,000  cubic  feet,  but  the  sav¬ 
ing  in  labor  by  using  gas  is  more  than 
the  extra  cost,  so  I  believe  you  will  find 
it  profitable  to  use  gas  for  hatching  and 
for  brooding,  especially  for  small  flocks 
of  150  to  300  chicks  'during  rather  mild 
Spring  and  Summer  weather.  For  the 
very  coldest  Winter  weather,  however,  I 
would  prefer  coal.  c.  s.  GREENE.
