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 discouraged. 
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 Wyandottes and never lost one or 
had one sick after giving the medicine 
and my chickens are larger and healthier 
than ever before. I have found this 
company thoroughly reliable and al¬ 
ways get the remedy by return mail.— 
Mrs. C. M. Bradshaw, Beaconsfield, 
| Iowa.” 
Cause of White Diarrhea 
White Diarrhea is caused by the 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.” Remember, there is 
scarcely a hatch without some infected 
chicks. Don’t let these few infect your 
entire flock. Prevent 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 
I 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 pre¬ 
vents White Diarrhea, but it gives the 
chicks strength and vigor; they develop 
quicker and feather earlier.” 
I 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 
I the dozens with White Diarrhea. I tried 
different remedies and was about discour¬ 
aged with the chicken business. Finally, 
I sent to the Walker Remedy Co., Water¬ 
loo, Iowa, for a box of their Walko White 
Diarrhea 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 
We will send Walko White Diarrhea 
Remedy entirely at our risk—postage pre¬ 
paid — so you can see for yourself what 
a wonder-working remedy it is for White 
Diarrhea in baby chicks. So you can 
prove—as thousands have proven—that 
it will stop your losses and double, treble, 
even quadruple your profits. Send 50c 
for package of Walko—give it in all drink¬ 
ing water for the first two weeks and 
watch results. You’ll find you won’t lose 
one chick where you lost hundreds before. 
It s a positive fact. We guarantee it. 
fhe Leavitt & Johnson National Bank, 
fhe oldest and strongest bank in Water¬ 
loo, Iowa, stands back of this guarantee, 
iou run no risk. If you don’t find it the 
greatest little chick saver you overused,

How Lights Help Us In Our 
Poultry Business 
Mrs. F. W. Owen 
/^\UR electric plant was purchased and 
installed in November, 1922. Be¬ 
sides the dwellings and general farm 
buildings, lights were installed in three 
large poultry houses and two 10 x 10 col¬ 
ony coops used for brooding purposes. 
The larger buildings contained 300 pullets 
and 100 yearling hens and the lights were 
turned on November 4. The pullets were 
hatched early in June and were developing 
nicely although too young to lay and the 
hens were well along with their molt. 
At this time they were producing about 
one dozen eggs a day. The hens immedi¬ 
ately began to gain and the pullets started 
to lay the middle of the month so that by 
December 1, the output was about 12 or 
13 dozen eggs a day. By Christmas they 
were producing 18 to 20 dozen a day which 
continued until the middle of February 
when there was a decrease, as several of 
the flock went into a short molt. I think 
this molt was due to my method of feeding 
and do not consider it as any especial 
damage to the hens for they laid extra 
well after it and continued to all summer. 
Managing the Breeders 
As I wanted eggs for hatching and in¬ 
tended to use the ones produced by these 
hens, the middle of January I cut out the 
wet mash but continued using the dry 
mash and increased the amount of whole 
grain and cracked corn. I did not-turn 
the lights on at night and gradually 
shortened the morning lighting. Under 
this management the flock quickly recov¬ 
ered from the molt. 
On the first of March I began setting 
my incubators. The first hatch was 
about 40 per cent, of eggs set but while 
the fertility was high many chicks died in 
the shell. This I think was mostly due 
to the incubator, as the heat ran low sev¬ 
eral times and the hatch was about 30 
hours late. The chicks were very nice, 
large and fluffy fellows which withstood 
the blizzard of March 29 in a 10 x 10 foot 
colony house in good shape. j 
On account of the intense cold when the 
hatch arrived I left the chicks in the incu¬ 
bator two days. With the aid of an ex¬ 
tension cord and electric bulb inside the 
incubator, I fed and watered the chicks in 
small dishes. At the end of a couple of days 
the weather warmed a little and I took 
them to the brooder house but the last of 
the month the big blizzard hit us and as I 
had no other place for the chicks I was 
compelled to leave them in this place. 
The house was only single boarded with 
large windows and I lined it with old 
burlap and pieces of carpet and even 
covered the windows, depending on elec¬ 
tricity for light. I put in a small oil 
heater but did not dare run it nights so 
that the coop was very cold, water freez¬ 
ing in a little while on a short distance 
from the hover. 
Extension Cord Always Useful 
The first feed i a the morning was placed 
under the hover and the extension cord 
again brought into use by placing the 
bulb protected by a guard under the hover 
near the feed dishes These chicks went 
through several snowstorms and I raised 
about 75% of them. / 
The extension cord in the cellar with a 
25 watt bulb in a guard made it very easy 
to read each thermometer. By placing 
one end of an egg-tray on a table and 
holding the light under the extended end, 
I could test the eggs very quickly and 
easily. I would have some one either 
hold the tray or mark the poor eggs as I 
indicated them. I would leave the eggs 
on the tray until the whole tray was 
tested. As soon as one end was tested I 
reversed the tray and tested the other end 
in the same way, marking all poor eggs. 
After all the eggs in the tray were tested 
and poor ones marked it was placed on 
the table and the poor eggs removed. 
If the poor eggs are taken out as tested 
the light shines through the empty spaces 
making it hard to test the remaining
