over-feeding of meat or ground bone 
or unsanitary surroundings. It can be 
largely controlled by preventing these 
causes and seeing that each one gets 
a good swallow of water so made up that 
it contains 5 drops of refined carbolic 
acid to each pint of drinking water. It is 
given when chicks are taken from incu¬ 
bator and placed in brooder. The water 
after that should contain 3 drops of 
refined carbolic acid to each pint of water 
for about two weeks. If chicks are prop¬ 
erly brooded and fed very little trouble 
will be experienced with ordinary diar¬ 
rhea. The feeding of sour milk or semi¬ 
solid buttermilk from the start is a very 
good preventative of diarrhea. 
Greater Losses from White Diarrhea 
White diarrhea causes a greater loss of 
chicks than all other diseases combined. 
There is no known cure for it at present 
and we must aim for prevention. This 
disease is undoubtedly transferred from 
the mother-hen to the chick through the 
yolk of the egg. It can also be spread 
through food and water contaminated 
with droppings of infected chicks. We 
must provide vessels for the food and 
water in which contamination can not 
take place; also plenty of absorptive litter 
in brooder house. Chicks with white 
diarrhea will show following symptoms: 
drooping wings, ruffled feathers, inclined 
to huddle together under brooder, listless 
and sleepy, whitish voidings and a ten¬ 
dency of pasting up behind. These 
should be taken from rest of flock and 
brooder disinfected at once. 
Eggs from infected hens contain the 
white diarrhea germs and are transmitted 
to the chicks when hatched. It seems 
that the other chicks in the flock can get 
the infection from the diseased chicks only 
during the first three or four days after 
being hatched by picking at the infected 
droppings. We keep our incubator 
closed and dark until chicks are ready 
to be placed in brooder. After placing in 
brooder sour milk or semi-solid butter¬ 
milk, which contains lactic acid that kills 
the white diarrhea germs, is fed to stop 
the spread of this disease. After white 
diarrhea organisms have once entered the 
general circulation of the chicks the above 
treatment is of little or no value. 
Causes of Leg Weakness 
Leg weakness is caused by over-feeding 
of fat-produeing foods, over-crowding, 
poor ventilation or over-heating. The 
symptoms are indicated in the name of 
the disease. The chicks appear weak- 
kneed, wobbling, unable to stand and 
will constantly tumble over. The chicks 
will be found sitting when eating. In 
treating leg weakness we remove the 
cause, feed bran, wheat or oat-meal in 
place of corn and corn meal, feed plenty 
of skimmed milk, green feed and give 
free range. 
Editor’s Note.— Advices from several 
State colleges of agriculture, which states 
that in Cod -Liver Oil we have one of the best 
preventatives of leg weakness. There is a 
precaution to be noted in using Cod Liver 
Oil, that it be not allowed to become rancid.

Battery Cells Charge Unevenly 
One cell in our lighting plant is weaker than the rest. 
Isjt safe to continue charging all the cells even though 
some of them gas before the weaker ones are fully 
charged? — R. M. A., New Jersey. 
\/OU are perfectly safe in proceeding 
* as you state. It is one of the objects 
ol overcharging. When overcharging 
is done regularly there should be no 
difficulty in bringing up the weaker cell 
by doing a reasonable amount of over¬ 
charging. If this cannot be done by 
regular overcharging, it indicates that 
the weaker cell is discharging rapidly, 
due, no doubt, to a short circuit. This 
should be investigated immediately.^, ._
