White Diarrhea 
Remarkable Experience of Mrs. 
C. M. Bradshaw in Prevent¬ 
ing White Diarrhea 
The following letter will no doubt be 
of utmost interest to poultry raisers 
who have had serious losses from White 
Diarrhea. We will let Mrs. Bradshaw 
tell of her experience in her own words: 
“Gentlemen: I see reports of so 
many losing their little chicks with 
White Diarrhea, so thought I would 
tell my experience. I used to lose a 
great many from this cause, tried 
many remedies and was about dis¬ 
couraged. As a last resort I sent to 
the Walker Remedy Co., Dept. 437, 
Waterloo, Iowa, for their Walko White 
Diarrhea Remedy. I used two 50c 
packages, raised 300 White Wyandot- 
tes and never lost one or had one sick 
after giving the medicine and my chick¬ 
ens are larger and healthier than ever 
before. I have found this company 
thoroughly reliable and always get the 
remedy by return mail.—^Mrs. C. M. 
Bradshaw, Beaconsfield, Iowa.” 
Cause of White Diarrhea 
White Diarrhea is caused by th^ Bac¬ 
illus Bacterium Pullorum. This germ 
is transmitted to the baby chick 
through the yolk of the newly hatched 
egg. Readers are warned to beware 
of White Diarrhea. Don’t wait until 
it kills half your chicks. Take the 
“stitch in time that saves nine.” Re¬ 
member there is scarcely a hatch with¬ 
out some infected chicks. Don’t let 
these few infect your entire flock. Pre¬ 
vent it. Give Walko in all drinking 
water for the first two weeks and you 
won’t lose one chick where you lost 
hundreds before, "these letters prove it: 
Never Lost a Single Chick 
Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek, 
Ind., writes: “I have lost my share of 
chicks from White Diarrhea. Finally 
I sent for two packages of Walko. I 
raised over 500 chicks and I never lost 
a single 'chick from White Diarrhea. 
Walko not only prevents White Diar¬ 
rhea, but it gives the chicks strength 
and vigor; they develop quicker and 
feather earlier.” 
Never Lost One After First Dose 
Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shenandoah, 
Iowa, writes: “My first incubator 
chicks, when but a few days old, began 
to die by the dozens with White Diar¬ 
rhea. I tried different remedies and 
was about discouraged with the chick¬ 
en business. Finally, I sent to the 
Walker Remedy Co., Waterloo, Iowa, 
for a box of their Walko White Diar¬ 
rhea Remedy. It’s just the only thing 
for this terrible disease. We raised 
700 thrifty, healthy chicks and never 
lost a single chick after the first dose.” 
You Run No Risk

Advartiaamant 
est possible extent, the energy and ma¬ 
terials for that production. 
The ordinary commercial hen lays 
from 10 to 12 dozen eggs a year and 
this is the hen with which most of us 
have to deal. She will not stand a 
forced winter egg production. To avoid 
a spring slump she must be held back 
in winter. A 50 per cent production is 
dangerous except to an expert poultry- 
man. Forty per cent is more nearly 
safe and as Mr. Mapes mentions, the 
hens at Storrs’ are kept well within this 
limit. They may appear to him to be 
struggling to maintain this average, 
but remember these hens must lay for 
a year and a steady continued produc¬ 
tion is better than sudden spurts. 
There is one question I would ask Mr. 
Mapes, but he will be unable to answer 
it before next November. “What is 
your average flock production per bird 
for the year?” This is the criterion 
by which all methods of feeding, breed¬ 
ing and housing must be judged. It is 
final. 
Mr. Mapes’ birds are starting late, 
he may be able to get them on range 
without a slump, but if they respond 
and go to 75 or 80 per cent in April and 
May, then I predict a mid-summer 
slump and a serious one. I doubt if 
anyone could hold them. It is within 
reason to expect them to go into molt 
during the last of July and August and 
refuse to lay until the next December. 
The culls selected by the Cornell expert 
are most sure to. I have followed their 
methods for several years and have 
practically eliminated early molting 
from my flock. 
The winters in this particular corner 
of Chenango county are very long and 
severe and I find it more profitable and 
easier to secure fall eggs than winter 
ones. August eggs averaged 40 cents 
per dozen, September, 56 cents, and 
October, 71 cents, while I received for 
December eggs, 40 to 50 cents, January, 
35 to 50 cents, and for February, only, 
30 cents. 
Thus it may be seen that my problem 
is to secure fall and early winter eggs 
and to do this I limit my production in 
spring. I use the Storrs’ ration. In 
July, I add sour milk. In August a 
small per cent, about five, of linseed 
meal and from then on use every effort 
and device to hold and force egg pro¬ 
duction. Early pullets are the rule to 
begin laying in September and should 
some of them show a neck and tail 
molt in November they have already 
paid for themselves and begin laying 
again before January and continue 
through the winter. 
WHO CAN ANSWER THIS? 
I would like to hear from someone 
that has had experience with a home¬ 
made brooder. Also their best method 
of keeping away lice and mites during 
summer months. I know these are 
questions that are being discussed fre¬ 
quently. But very often the best 
method is not always given to the 
public. 
I find that by inoculating the young 
turkeys when about eight days old is 
the best remedy to keep down black¬ 
heads, and make them grow. We also 
find the turkey hen an ideal mother for 
the young guineas. Last year there was 
so much dry weather that I believe many 
of the young guineas perished for the 
want of water in this section. But as 
an all-round mother, the turkey hen 
has proven herself worthy of a flock of 
guineas. She travels slowly and gives 
the little keets a chance to catch the 
bugs and millers flying around. Every 
one that has an orchard should have a 
flock of guineas to destroy the insects.

A silo that locks 
together 
T he Harder patented Spline Dowel, 
combined with a square tongue 
and groove on the staves, produce in 
the Harder a silo that will never lean 
or shear or lose its efficiency. 
To be satisfactory, a silo must ex¬ 
clude air absolutely. That is the 
Harder principle. 
When a Harder is built, it is there to 
stay. You will never find the name 
“Harder” on a leaning silo.
