Natural  Gas  for  Brooders 
On  page  13S4  C.  S.  Greene  replying 
to  J.  P.  G.  relative  to  natural  gas  for 
incubators  and  brooders,  says  that  he  be¬ 
lieves  it  would  be  profitable  to  use  it. 
Probably  so,  but-  how  about  the  safety? 
Natural  gas  has  no  steady  pressure,  as 
a  rule,  like  artificial  gas.  If  the  natural 
gas  was  tanked  like  the  artificial.  I  be¬ 
lieve  it  would  be  safe;  safe  in  the  sense 
that  the  flow  is  constant.  My  experi¬ 
ence  has  been  that  the  flow  of  natural 
gas  fluctuates  at  different  times  of  the 
day.  However,  that  may  be  because  of 
locality  as  I  live  in  Western  New  York.

Whitewashing  Henhouse;  Ruptured  Hens 
1.  Our  pullets  are  shut  in  our  new  hen¬ 
house,  and  we  would  like  to  whitewash  it. 
What  is  the  best  solution  for  same,  and 
would  it  affect  the  birds  by  causing  damp¬ 
ness?  2.  What  could  be  done  to  aid  rup¬ 
tured  hen  from  heavy  laying?  c.  s. 
New  Jersey. 
1.  I  should  not  whitewash  a  new  hen¬ 
house  at  this  season  of  the  year.  If  the 
building  is  new,  the  whitewash  should 
not  be  needed,  and  the  dampness  of  the 
interior,  slow  to  disappear  in  cold,  damp 
weather,  would  be  very  likely  to  induce 
colds  among  the  recently  housed  pullets. 
Do  this  work  next  Summer,  when  the 
weather  is  hot  and  dry. 
2.  There  is  little  to  be  done  when  a 
hen  has  been  ruptured  by  laying  an  over¬ 
sized  egg.  If  the  torn  surfaces  do  not 
heal  spontaneously,  the  damage  has  prob¬ 
ably  been  too  great  to  make  surgical  pro¬ 
cedures  worth  while.  A  protruding  ovi¬ 
duct  may  be  washed  with  clean  water, 
greased  with  vaseline  and  returned,  but, 
if  seriously  torn,  the  bird's  usefulness  is 
probably  ended.  H.  B.  D. 
Ipecac  Treatment  for  Blackhead 
I  have  read  your  articles  about  the 
ipecac  cure  and  prevention  of  blackhead 
for  turkeys.  Last  year  1  tried  the  cure 
with  success  only  occasionally  ;  usually 
the  turkeys  preferred  to  die.  This  year 
I  used  the  ipecac  powder  just  as  you  ad¬ 
vised  from  two  weeks  of  age  until  four 
months.  I  lost  just  as  many  turkeys  as 
formerly — 18  out  of  72  hatched.  Last 
year  I  lost  22  out  of  102  hatched  and 
no  powdered  ipecac  given.  I  have  cut 
out  two  of  your  articles,  one  published 
last  year  and  one  this  year  in  October. 
One  calls  for  10  drops  of  fluid  extract  of 
ipecac  and  the  other  calls  for  10  drops 
of  tincture  of  ipecac.  1  consulted  our 
druggist  and  he  informs  me  that  fluid  ex¬ 
tract  is  10  times  stronger  than  the  tinc¬ 
ture.  I  have  always  wondered  that  your 
doses  are  the  same  for  young  birds  as 
for  older  ones.  We  do  not  give  children 
as  large  doses  as  adults.  Why  should 
not  poultry  be  treated  somewhat  accord¬ 
ing  to  age  too?  I  inclose  a  tablet  which 
I  used,  which  is  said  to  be  a  cure  for 
blackhead.  Can  you  tell  what  it  con¬ 
tains  and  if  it  is  a  good  remedy?  It  is 
much  easier  to  admister  than  ipecac  and 
costs  less  too.  Two  tablets  in  a  quart  of 
water  for  the  flock  to  drink  or  one-fou’dh 
tablet,  as  a  dose  of  a  sick  turkey  that 
wont  eat,  twice  a  day.  E.  n. 
Maryland. 
The  ipecac  treatment  of  blackhead  does 
not  seem  to  have  met  with  the  success 
that  its  discoverers,  the  Drs.  Wegefortn 
of  California,  anticipated,  though  it  is 
said  that  failure  may  be  due  rather  to 
mistakes  in  diagnosis,  coecidiosis  being 
mistaken  for  blackhead.  It  is  true  that 
the  fluid  extract  of  any  drug  is  much 
stronger  than  the  tincture,  though,  in 
the  case  of  a  drug  possessing  little  or  no 
poisonous  action  in  overdose,  the  mis¬ 
take  in  substituting  the  stronger  for  the 
weaker  one  may  not  be  productive  of  any 
serious  consequences.  The  fluid  extract 
of  ipecac  has  been  found  fatal  for  me¬ 
dium  sized  hens  in  dosage  of  from  one  to 
two  teasponnfuls.  The  tincture  of  ipecac 
is  used  in  the  treatment  of  blackhead  in 
turkeys  and  the  dose  of  10  drops  is  not 
large  enough  to  make  distinctions  as  to 
age  of  treated  birds  necessary. 
It  is  impossible  to  tell  from  the  ap¬ 
pearance  of  a  tablet  what  it  contains, 
but  what  reason  is  there  for  believing 
that  a  tablet  of  unknown  composition 
possesses  any  particular  virtues  in  the 
treatment  of  disease?  Mystery  is  used 
to  appeal  to  credulity  ;  it  does  not  guar¬ 
antee  efficacy.  M.  b.  d. 
Inbreeding  Turkeys 
Will  it  be  inbreeding  turkeys  too  much 
to  mate  father  to  daughter? 
Craddockville,  Ya.  MBS.  M.  x.  c. 
It  will  certainly  be  close  inbreeding  to 
mate  sire  to  offspring,  but  the  harmful¬ 
ness  of  this  procedure  depends  upon 
other  factors  than  that  of  inbreeding. 
Inbreeding  may  or  may  not  be  harmful 
If  it  is  practiced  without  regard  to  size, 
vigor,  freedom  from  transmissable  de¬ 
fects,  etc.,  it  will  prove  harmful.  If 
carried  on  with  due  regard  to  the  char¬ 
acteristics  of  the  animals  mated,  it  may 
be  a  wise  procedure.  This  means  that 
careful  selection  should  be  made  when 
inbreeding  any  of  the  domestic  animals. 
Those  having  similar  defects  should  not 
be  mated ;  the  tendency  to  reproduction 
of  these  defects  would  b°  increased.  Lack 
of  size  and  vigor  shoulh-  forbid  mating ; 
weak  constitutions  may  be  transmitted. 
Other  defects  of  type  should  be  weeded 
out ;  otherwise  the  law  that  like  produces 
like  would  operate  disadvantageously. 
As  to  your  particular  problem,  that  de¬ 
pends  upon  the  birds  involved.  If  both 
sire  and  daughters  are  large,  strong, 
healthy,  vigorous  birds,  with  no  outstand¬ 
ing  physical  defects,  I  should  not  be 
afraid  to  mate  them,  though  this  would 
be  flying  into  the  face  of  providence,  in 
the  opinion  of  most  writers  upon  turkey 
raising.  M.  B.  d. 
Picking  Guinea  Hens 
How  are  guinea  hens  to  be  cleaned  for 
the  table?  I  picked  them  dry,  but  that 
was  a  job.  It  was  more  than  a  job.  and 
I  soaked  them  in  hot  water,  and  that  was 
worse,  because  the  whole  skin  peeled  off 
with  the  feathers.  What  can  I  do  that 
the  birds  come  out  in  good  shape?  n.  B. 
Picking  a  guinea  hen  is  a  tough  job  at 
best.  A  man  who  has  been  through  the 
mill  and  partly  ground  up  during  ;he 
process  gives  this  advice : 
We  always  picked  them  dry,  and,  like 
everything  else,  it  is  all  in  getting  accus¬ 
tomed  to  it,  and  then  if  is  not  so  bad,  or 
at  least  we  did  not  mind  it.  as  we  did  a 
lot  of  dry  picking,  becoming  fairly  expert 
at  it.  For  a  fancy  trade,  of  course,  it  is 
necessary  to  pick  everything  dry.  but  for 
home  use  or  some  local  trade,  probably 
it  would  be  much  better  for  anyone  who 
is  not  an  expert  picker  to  use  the  scald¬ 
ing  method.  lie  had  the  water  too  hot, 
or  let  them  soak  too  long,  until  the  skin 
was  cooked  and  tender. 
Ailing  Hens  and  Buckwheat 
On  page  140S  I  noticed  the  answer 
M.  B.  I),  gave  to  ,T.  E.,  Delanson,  N.  Y., 
as  to  ailing  hens  fed  buckwheat.  This 
is  a  buckwheat  section  and  I  have  had 
the  same  trouble  and  so  have  neighbors 
of  mine  Buckwheat  eaten  clear,  and 
too  much  of  it,  will  positively  kill  young 
hens  or  growing  chicks.  Buckwheat  is 
good  in  scratch  feed  for  old  hens,  or  will 
not  hurt  them  when  fed  alone.  J.  E. 
describes  the  trouble  exactly.  As  soon 
as  he  gets  the  buckwheat  away  from 
them  their  combs  will  turn  red  and 
every  chick  will  be  all  right.  The  young 
hens  will  not  eat  grit  enough  to  grind 
up  the  buckwheat,  and  the  mass  sours 
in  their  crops,  after  this  takes  place  two 
or  three  times  the  combs  turn  purple, 
a  thick  substance  comes  from  the  mouth, 
and  they  die.  f.  c.  n. 
Delanson,  N.  Y. 
I  have  never  known  young  fowls  being 
injured  by  buckwheat,  a  common  poultry 
food  in  my  section.  It  is,  of  course,  not 
adapted  to  young  chickens,  having  a 
very  large  amount  of  fiber  and  being  a 
fattening,  rather  than  “growing”  fool. 
Young  turkeys  frequently  visit  buck¬ 
wheat  fields  in  the  Fall  and  fill  up  on 
the  grain,  and  many  farmers  feed  buck¬ 
wheat  in  practically  unlimited  quantity 
to  their  flocks  in  the  barnyard.  For  Win¬ 
ter  grain,  it  is  considered  an  excellent 
addition  to  the  scratch  grain  fed.  It  is 
possible,  however,  that  too  exclusive  a 
diet  may  affect  young  birds,  as  F.  C.  N. 
suggests,  and  it  will  be  well  to  bear  this 
in  mind.  m.  b.  d. 
Lame  Fowls 
I  am  trying  to  go  in  the  poultry  busi¬ 
ness  and  have  about  200  White  Leghorns. 
A  few  of  the  hens  seem  to  go  lame,  and 
when  I  killed  and  examined  a  few,  found 
that  the  liver  was  three  times  the  normal 
size.  Could  you  advise  me  what  to  do  for 
them,  and  what  is  the  cause  I  feed  them 
wheat  in  the  morning,  scratch  feed  at 
Boon  and  at  night,  and  three  times  a  week 
give  them  wet  mash  for  noon,  consisting 
of  stale  bread,  cornmeal.  bran  and  sour 
milk ;  keep  dry  mash  in  front  of  them 
always,  consisting  of  equal  parts  beef 
scrap,  cornmeal,  bran,  middlings  and 
ground  oats.  f.  s. 
New  Brunswick. 
Lameness  occurs  in  fowls  under  a  vari¬ 
ety  of  conditions,  some  of  which  are  little 
understood.  You  are  feeding  your  fowls 
heavily  upon  fattening  foods,  and  they  are 
possibly  getting  very  little  exercise.  *  En¬ 
larged  livers  show  heavy  feeding,  with 
consequent  disturbance  of  the  digestive 
functions.  I  should  cut  out  the  wet  mash 
of  stale  bread,  etc.,  and  replace  it  with 
green  food  of  some  kind.  In  addition,  I 
should  give  these  fowls  the  run  of  grass 
land,  if  possible,  though,  of  course,  the 
season  is  now  approaching  when  fowls 
must  be  confined  to  their  Winter  quar¬ 
ters.  With  the  scratch  grain  and  dry 
•mash  that  you  are  feeding,  an  additional 
wet  mash  is  not  required,  save  perhaps 
during  the  close  of  the  laying  season, 
when  it  may  be  fed  daily  at  noon  in  such 
amounts  as  will  be  quickly  cleaned  up. 
Confined  fowls  are  easily  overfed  upon 
wet  mashes,  which  fact  makes  the  use  of 
dry  feeds  more  safe  in  the  average  own¬ 
er’s  hands  M.  B,  D,
