Hi L\ i , vCa--* i-lJ Guineas are usually hearty and are generally easily raised, especially if looked after carefully for the first few weeks of their lives. The white ones, as a rule, seem to be more prolific and more hearty than the ordinary common guinea, and it is possible that this has been brought about by introducing new’ blood and paying more attention to their breeding, which has naturally given them more strength and constitution than where no attention has been paid to this, which is usually the case with most peo ple who pay very little attention to the common, ordinary guinea that is more plentiful. I know of one party in the east who has established a good trade on the New York market for guineas, and sells all the white ones he can raise for eating purposes at $5.00 per pair, but they are served at the best hotels and high class clubs who can afford to pay these prices. Guineas, as a rule, are foragers and will roam over a large plan tation and destroy many injurious Insects and bugs that Injure crops of different kinds. There Is no farm but what could maintain a good size flock of guineas. You will find that they will be of very little trouble and will bring in quite a nice revenue of profit, and almost make their living from food that would go to waste if it could not be converted into meat and eggs by these fowls. During the summer months usually when eggs are scarce, as a rule, guineas lay most of their eggs and usually lay con tinually through the entire summer, but during the winter, as a rule they lay very few eggs. Guinea eggs will keep longer ordinarily than hen eggs in hot weather before a change takes place in them. Possibly this is caused by their having a very thick shell and germination is not quite so easily started in them. Their eggs are smaller than a hen egg, but as a rule, people do not object to this and usually there is ready sale for all the guinea eggs any one can produce during the summer months. A flock of white guineas on a large lawn are very pretty, as they are rare and a great many people have never seen the pure white ones Nearly ail poultry associations and fairs have a class and offer premiums for both Kp h Mr«^h d gul " ea ®’ ® nd ls the y are bred m <>re extensively and brought public.notice of tae people they would be more largely bred.

Ga.: I have tpied to raise some Indian Runner Ducks but have had poor success. When I took them off I put them on some sand and gave them pome water. I fixed the water so they could not get wet. I fed them on Spratt’s No. 5. scalded and then cooled. This morning I found four dead and yesterday morn ing I found two dead. I have two that have black scabs cox ering their heads but I pulled this off and they go all right for a few days until an other scab comes and I pull it off. The beak Js not sore. I fed them Hasting s mash wet with a little grit in it after they were three weeks old. I have some little chicks Juet hatched this morUJt tf iat. ate doing better than the early ones I hatched. Will they make as large chickehe as ♦he earlier hatched? Yours truly. ALBERT JENNINGS. ANSWER. It is possible that the feed that you are giving your little ducks sticks to the beak which causes the trouble you are having. They should have sufficient water to cleanse their beaks while eating and after each meal. Sometimes mud will dry in their beaks apd cause the trouble, and if they are fed milk while too young It will stick to the downy feathers. Spratt’s No. 5 is a good feed for them but they should have some little chiek grain dampened once a day after they are one week old in addition to the soft feed given them. Chickens hatched in June will be just as large as any. if you feed them just as well and after they are feath ered give them a free range. Atlanta, Ga.—Will you kindly tell me whether turnip tops, radish tops, Dw’arf Essex rape, collard leaves, cabbage, Swiss chard and the like are good egg producers? I have heard that turnip tops will make hens stop laying. What is your opinion on some of the best green foods for eggs which may be grown in our gardens? Thanking you. Yours very truly. W. W. GAINES. ANSWER. All of the green foods mentioned in your letter are good for chickens, especially the Dwarf Essex rape, col lard leaves and Swiss chard. Turnip tops will not stop chickens from lay ing and are good for them. If they stop laying it is from some other cause and not from eating turnip tops. Swiss chard and rape are two of the quickest growing green foods that can be planted in the garden , for chickens, and wifi make an abundance of food if you will be careful and not cut them too close In cutting this tops off for the chickens. Green food alone, of course, will not furnish suf ficient food elements to produce eggs, but to get a large supply of eggs chickens should have a great quanti ty of green food and without it you can not keep their system in good shape and produce a large number of eggs the year around. Green cut alfal fa. or even dry alfalfa hay is one of the greatest egg producing foods I know of. You could easily plant a few rows in your gardens, the same as you would turnips and by not cutting it too elose until it gets a good start it would give you an abundance of food every year with out having to replant. Barnesville, Ga.: Will you please tell me what is the matter with my Indian Runner Ducklings? I have followed your instructions in regard to feeding, except that the shorts and bran were not pure and instead of light bread soaked in milk, I used corn bread. When about six weeks old their legs became weak and they sit while eating, is Aunt Patsy mash good for old and young ducks? Please give me directions for a house for 100 grown ducks and will an acre of land sodded with grass be large enough for this many ducks? Respectfully, W. E. SMITH. ANSWER. It is very evident that your ducks have be.en fed too much rfich feed and not a balanced ration. Therefore, their bones have become tender and have not grown in strength in pro portion to the weight they are carry ing. Aunt Patsy food made in a mash is a balance ration for yo mg ducks and is fine for them. Corn bread is too GUINEAS THIS most valuable and hearty variety of fowls are nothing like so common as they were years ago. Many years ago on nearly every farm could be found a flock of guineas, but it is a rare thing now that you ever see many of these birds on ;he average farm. There are several varieties of gui neas the pure white, pearl guineas, dark blue, speckled or lavender colored and the ordinary gray gui nea. They are all practically the same family of guineas, and are sim ilar in habits to the different va rieties of pheasants, in fact they are a species of pheasants. Guineas are served as pheasants in a great many places, and In flavor are very similar. There is nothing any bet ter than a young guinea when they are properly cooked, either broiled, fried, roasted or naked. The dark colored guineas have the dark col ored flesh, whicn is objectionable by some people after being cooked, but the white guineas have white flesh and are very attractive when dressed. fattening and It should not be fed un less wheat bran is mixed witjh it. Your ducks should have some exer cise at the age they are and should be fed at least one feed a day of grain food, any of the ordinary scratched feeds that are on the mar ket are all right for this purpose but should be dampened before being fed. I am sending you my book on the care of Indian Runner Ducks. The best hen house for your ducks would be a plain shed 12 feet wide. 30 feet long. 5 feet hig i on the back and 7 feet high on the front. North, east and west sides should be closed and the south or front side should be open. The piece of land referred to is plenty large sot l;i thfs number of ducks. Atlanta. Ga.: Will you give me a good formula for whitewash? Is this a good time to dip your chick ens? Please answer' in The Jour nal. .» D. H. C.. ANSWER. A good formula for whitewash is as follows: Half a bushel of unslaked lime, slake in warm wa ter. cover it during the process to keep in the steam: strain the liquid through a fine sieve or strainer; add a peck of salt previously well dis solved in warm wattr, three pounds of ground rice boiled to a thin paste and stirred in boiling water; half pound of Spanish whiting, and a pound of glue which has been pre viously dissolved over Slow fire. Add five gallons of hot water in the mixture, stir well and let it stand for a few days, covered from the dirt. Strain carefully and apply with a spray pump. It should be put on hot. Now is the proper time to dip your chickens. Sulligent, Ala.: Will you please answer through The Journal how to feed and care for young guineas. People tell me they t are hard to raise. I have a few just hatched. Any information will certainly bq.. appreciated. Please answer in the Semi-Weekly Journal which comes to me twice a week. Shall be very much obliged. A. N. ANSWER. Little guineas should be fed the same as little chickens or little tur keys. If you give them the grain food the same as you would little chickens, it is also a good idea to give them at least one feed each day of curd mixed with booed eggs and corn meal. As soon as they are old enough. It Is a good idea to give them a nice grassy run every day after the dew is off so that they can get bugs and insects as it seems to do them more good than anything else. Hartsfield. Ga.—l would like for you to give me a remedy for my chickens. They will Jay in the morning and be fore night they can’t hold up their heads. They seem to be perfectly all right until they are taken and then die at once. Please give me a name for the disease, also a remedy through The Journal. J. F. SUBER. ANSWER. From description given your chick ens evidently ptomaine poison, which is caused from their getting some poisonous food. I had an article tn The Journal a few days ago in lim berneck, which covers your case. If you will read this article and follow same you can avoid the trouble men tioned. It would be best for you to yard your chickens where they can get only what you give them to eat un til the poisonous matter they are get ting is removed or disappears from the place. Give them some good con dition powders in theri soft feed and cleanse their system. Douglas, Ga.: I have been raising Indian Runner Ducks for the last year, and hav’e had splendid luck un til a few days ago. I noticed yes terday when I went home that all of the female ducks seem to be practi cally paralyzed, that they have very little use of their feet, and when they jump about they have to balance themselves with their tail and wings. Would thank you to let me know the reason for this, as I am afraid that I will lose all that - have. I have been feeding them chicken chowder, putting a little grit and chartoai with it. I give them plenty of fresh vnter, and a nice clean run for them. If you can tell me what to do for this I will thank you very much. Yours very truly. ,C. P. MATI.-.»VS ANSWER. Your ducks have evidently had something to eat or water to drink that was poison, and they are suf fering with ptomaine poison. Taste the feed that you are giving them and see if it has salt in it. Some pre pared chick feeds have too much salt in them for ducks to do well on. However, it may not be the case with what you are feeding, but if so change their feed, also give some Ep som's salts in their drinking water or any feed you can get them to eat. I have seen a’most a whole flock of ducks killed by giving something that was poisonous in their feed, and they were affected very much like yours. The best thing for you to do is to change their feed at once, physic them out and get their system in good fix attain. Change the run that they are ir and give them a new yard and entinly different surroundings. Autreyville. Ga. —I would be pleased if you could give me any Information about my chickens. I have lost a rooster and hen with the same disease. Their combs get very pale and they eat very little. Then their legs get weak and when they try to run or walk fast they go like their feet were burned or very tender. Their drop pings are very watery and a white green color. They sit around until they die. 'I would be glad to hear from you at once. Respectfully. MRS. J. C. ANSWER. It would be impossible for me to tell you what to do for your chickens unless I knew what you had been feeding them on or how you have been keeping them. Examine the roost and see if they are not infested with mites. Also examine the chickens and see if they have any lice on them. If so, paint your roost with tar. and dip your chickens in a solution of Bee Dee Dip or Chlo-Naptholeum. Confine all of them in a yard, where they can get nothing except what you give them to eat. Feed them good twice a day. One feed in the morning of scratch feed and a feed in the afternoon of equal parts of bran, shorts and cornmeal This should be fed in a trough and should have Barker’s or Bee Dee Condition Powders in it. This should be fed to them every day regularly. They should also have some copperas in their drinking water. Atlanta. Ga. —I have a cow that is giving milk at present, and is due to come fresh again in about two months. I wish you would please advise me through The Journal what causes the milk to go' to wa ter. which it does immediately aft er churning. Also I only get about one-half the butter that I did be fore. I feed on a mixture of wheat bran, shorts, beet pulp, cotton seed meal and hulls. Thanking yov for an early an swer, I am Yours verv truly, MRS. G. M. N. ANSWER. Sometimes a cow in the condition that yours is in will become affect ed in this way. It would be best for you to dry the cc w up and cease using the milk. She will do much better with the next calf if you will give her six weeks or two months rest. You should leave the cotton seed meal out of her ration and not feed it at all until the calf is four we iks old. If you are compelled to keep milking her. ston using the cotton s eed meal and substitute cornmeal instead. Give plenty salt and before churning have your milk as near the tem perature of 63 as possible and churn when it is ready, before it turns too much to whey. To dry a cow oft. which should be done and milk once a day for a few days, then once every two days until she gradually ceases giving milk. Atlanta. Ga. —Please answer me the following questions: I wish to punch the web of my little chick ens' feet so that I can tell them apart. Will you please tell me at what age and how to do this?

Please answer these questions as soon as possible through The Jour nal. Thanking you in advance for this favor, I remain, Yours very truly, D. H. S. ANSWER. Little chickens should be punch ed when they are first taken from the nest if you wish to keep a record of them, especially if they are put where others chickens of the same kind and age are. It must be done before they are mix ed together to know positively what you are keeping a record of. The Petty punch can be used for this purpose. It makes a small hole through the web of the foot. They can be punched in 15 differ ent ways, say one hole in the right foot, one in the left foot, and so on and make a record of these from pens that you wish to dis tinguish. The hole will stay there for life. Little chickens should not be dipped until they are well feath ered. This should not be done ex cept during a warm day and dur ing the middle of the day. One part disinfectant to 100 parts water is strong enough to dip young chickens. » The pullet referred to has evi dently caught cold and has a slight touch of roupe. She should be separated from the other chick . ens and fed well with some laxa tive condition powders in her feed. Also use some Conker’s Roupe cure in her drinking water. Newburn, Fla.—l am a subscri ber of the Atlanta Journal and am interested in the poultry business, and want to ask you to tell me through The Journal what the trou ble is with my little Indian Run ner ducks. The down around their eyes becomes stiff and seems as though it is plastered to the skin. Then their bills will turn white and they die. Their eyes do not seem sore and the ducks seem well until their bills turn white. They eat well until the last. If you can help me any way it will be highly appreciated. Please let me hear from you in the next Journal, as I have a nice lot of eggs setting and want to do all I can to save them. I xvould like to know your opin ion of the Silver Spangled Ham burg chicken. I have a few of them and find them to be the best layers ever saw. Thanking you again for any in formation, I am, MRS. J. P. HOWI.AND. ANSWER. Your little ducks are evidently getting something to ea or to , drink that sticks to the downy feathers around the beak. Milk, if fed to young ducks or young chickens will often cause this trou ble. They should always have a vessel to drink out of with clean water inside deep enough to get their heads under v iter. This will help largely to keep their beaks clean, and relieve them of the trou ble. They should be fed on bread soaked in milk, but the milk should be squeezed cut so that it is just damp before being fed. They should also have plenty green food and water juet before they eat and while eating, but it should be ta ken away ‘from them afterwards. Silver Spangled Hamburgs are great layers. They are inclined to be delicate while young, but are a beautiful fowl and are certainly great egg producers. OPENS BRANCH AT □pnnKie girard, ala.
