POULTRY
SOME DISEASES OF POULTRY
Care Should Be Exercised to Prevent
Unsanitary Surroundings, Spoiled
, Food and Dirty Water.
* fBy JI. PRESTON HOSKINS.)
Sick birds Bhould be removed from
the flock and dead ones burned, in an
outbreak of disease.
White diarrhoea of chicks is
caused by a germ which is often pass
ed by the hen to the chick through
the egg.
Vessels and troughs in which feed
Is placed should be frequently scald
ed or disinfected with a five per cent,
solution of carbolic acid.
It is a wise precaution to fumi
gate your incubator with formalde
hyde before plucing your eggs in it
fob batching.
Be careful in introducing new birds
Into your flock to see that they are
perfectly healthy, and not likely to
bring disease with them.
The disease called "scaly legs,” is
caused by a mite belonging to the
same family of parasites that cause
mange in cattle, sheep, and other
farm animals.
A dusting powder for ridding birds
of lice may be prepared by mixing
equal parts pryetlirum (insect pow
der) and flowers of Bulphur. Apply it
witli a powder gun.
Poultry diseases, Just like other dis
eases, are favored by unsanitary sur
roundings, spoiled food, stale and
dirty drinking water, and poorly ven
tilated and insufficiently lighted coops.
CARE NEEDED FOR GOSLINGS
Several Excellent Little Hints That
Go to Make Success With Young
Fowls—Keep Them Dry.
Geese require very little feed. After
they are feathered they need no shel
ter. I set five goose eggs under each
ben to hatch them. 1 never put the
eggs under the old geese. Make the
nests on the .ground where possible,
•writes Sarah Peters of Nashville,
Kan., in the Farmers Mail and Breeze.
About a week after eggs have been
Incubated 1 dip every egg in a pail of
warm water, repeating this at the end
of the second week. Usually we get a
gosling for every egg at the end of the
hatch, which is 28 to 30 days. As soon
as they are dry 1 take the goslings out
of the nest and when all are hatched
put them in a small, dry pen, with a
large box, the bottom of which is cov
ered with dry earth or sand. They

must have grit, preferably crushed
oyster shells. I feed them corn bread
ooaked in sweet milk iand give them
oweet milk and water to drink. I put
the milk or water in a rather shallow
dish with a large stone in the middle
of it so the goslings cannot get into it
with their feet. After they are a
week old they may be fed on bran
mixed with milk. I never turn them
out until the dew is oft the grass and
always shut them up when a rain
comes up. They like water but can
not stand being left in the rain or
dew
SKIM MILK GOOD FOR HENS
Casein Largely Supplies Protein Nec
essary for Eggs—Also Excellent
for Use In Fattening.
Skim milk is one of the very best
feeds for both young chickens and lay
ing hens. The casein, or curdy part
of the milk, largely supplies the pro
tein necessary for laying hens, while
for fattening fowls there is nothing
miperlor to milk for making white,
jtucy, delicate flesh. The milk may be
fed either sweet or sour and may be
given as a drink or mixed with wheat
bran and oatmeal or both.
Sour skim milk, or buttermilk, fed
to benB confined in yard or small rangs
keeps them in health. The acid of
the milk supplies the lack of vegetable
acid they would pick up in on grass
pasture—the buttermilk aids digestion.
Poultrymen near the wholesale city
milkmen and creameries can often buy
the sour milk for ten cents per gal
lon. At this price it is a cheap food.
THE CLAYTON TRIBUNE, CLAYTON. GEORGIA.
TIMID LOVER SAW THE POINT SILENCER FOR EVIL TONGUES
Sweetheart’s Hint Surely Was Broad
Enough for Even the Most Back
ward of Sighing Swains.
Horace was a devout but timid
lover. So timid was he that, though
the signs were favorable, he had never
yet summoned up sufficient spirit to
ask his adored one the all-important
question.
One day, however, whilst walking
with her In the the garden, a wave of
unexpected courage swept over him
and he begged for a kiss.
“You may have Just one!" answered
the maiden. "But, remember, a kiss
may mean many things. On the lips
It signifies all or nothing; on the hand
it shows respect, and on the forehead
friendship. Choose which you like!”
Horace, with his eyes on the ground,
thought the matter over carefully,
though nervously. He was roused 'at
last from his meditations by a soft
sigh.
Raising his eyes, he beheld his di
vinity with her hat pulled down over
her forehead, her hands deep in the
pockets of her Jacket and her rosy
lips puckered as she sighed.
Horace guessed—and guessed right!

Useless Pause.
‘‘To oppose the new woman is like
opposing the tide with a broom. Bet
ter still, it's like Calhoun Clay.”
The epeaker was Dr. Horace C.
Newte of Denver, who has for a long
time been championing the slashed
skirt on the ground that It makes for
hardiness and prevents cold.
“Calhoun Clay,” he resumed, “was
getting married. Little and lean, he
stood at the altar beside a tall and ro
bust bride of 180 pounds or more. The
ceremony proceeded regularly until, in
the bride’s reply the words ‘love, hon
or and obey’ were pronounced.
“At this Juncture Bridegroom Cal
houn Clay held up his right hand. A
pause ensued. In thf> silence Calhoun
said:
“ ‘Excuse me, pahson, but Ah would
have us wait a moment an’ let de full
solemnity o’ de words sink In—espe
cially de last two. Ah’s been married
befo’."

"Well, how are you today?” asked
the physician cheerfully to the society
leader.
“Well, doctor," she replied, “the cold
I caught Tuesday Is a little better,
thanks to your prescription. But the
one I caught Thursday Is much worse.
The thing I called to see you for, how
ever, Is the severe cold I caught last
night.”
The doctor sat down and wrote a
long line of heiroglyphlcs.
“Here,” he said, “is something for
the one you will catch this evening
with that V-neck and those skimpy
skirts. Good afternoon.”

“Trace It Back Club” of Albany, N.
Y., Has a Good Idea to Do
Away With Gossip.
In Albany, N. Y., they have an or
ganization called the Trace It Back
club. It was organized twelve years
ago as the outcome of an Inquiry as
to who' had set a certain false story
.afloat.. A party of men were In a
cafe when a statement was made that
practically accused a well-known citi
zen of crookedness.
"I'd like to see that story traced
back,” said one of the men at the
table, "for there’s not the slightest
truth In it, in my opinion.”
“Well, let’s organize a club to do
It,” said another.
So the club was formed and a com
mittee appointed to Investigate the
statemenL The story was run down
within two days.
The club, elated over its success,
adopted by-laws and arranged to meet
regularly. Whenever a man opened
his mouth to accuse somebody the
president merely began: "I appoint
as a committee of Investigation—”
and he seldom got further. The Trace
It Backs have had many ups and
downs and the membership has
thinned out considerably, but there
are enough still on hahd to practice
and preach their principles.
Open the Windows.
He who sleeps with his windows
closed makes his bed In a coffin.
There is no reason to be surprised
when tuberculosis comes along and
fastens down the lid. If all mankind-
could live out of doors all the time,
and not too closely together, tuber
culosis would die out in one or two
generations. Since this ideal condi
tion cannot he achieved, not even for
the sake of baffling humanity’s worst
enemy, the next best thing is to bring
as much out of doors as possible Into
our houses, and especially Into our
sleeping rooms.
There Is nothing which so quickly
lowers vitality to the point where the
tubercle bacillus can get in its work
as breathing stale, close, lifeless, im
pure air during the hours of sleep.
Thore Is nothing which bqllds up the
resisting powers of the body more
quickly than an abundant supply of
fresh air, particularly at night. If
sleeping out of doors will cure con
sumption, as It has done many a time,
surely It will go far toward keeping
a healty person from getting con
sumption. It Is not always possible
for city dwellers to take their beds
out of doors, bUv-it least, thoy can
open windows and let out of doors
come In.
Peculiar Summons From Pew.
Two traveling men reached a small
place In Alabama late one evening
and found that there was no room to
be bad at the hotel. The proprietor
did not want to disappoint them, as
they were regular patrons, so he told
them that he would send some bed
ding over to an old church he had
just bought and make them as com
fortable as possible there. About
midnight the whole town was startled
by the furious ringing of the church
bell. An old colored man was sent
by the proprietor to see what was
the matter. Soon ho came shambling
back. Masea Boss!” ho exclaimed,
“Massa Boss’ ,)es’ ca’m ynu’self.
’Twan’t nothin but de gemmen in

What He Want*.
"I don’t want to be very rich.”
“That so?”
"No. I have no desire to have a
great fortune.”
"Then what do you want?”
“I’d be perfectly happy If I were
rich enough to give my wife an allow
ance every week Instead of having to
take my pay envelope home intact and
receiving an allowance from my wife.”
No Place for Poets.
“Didn't Oliver Goldsmith once live
here?” asked the tourist.
"I don’t remember the name,” said
the Janitor. “Who -as the gent?"
“He was a poet."

lived here, elr. Wc| demand the

This Wonderful Blend
Is a Secret
It is entirely different from
ordinary coffees. The secret
of the wonderful blend was
brought from the coffee-grow
ing countries years ago.
Until recently the only place
In America where this rarely
delicious coffee could be bad was
at the French Market In New
Orleans.
Here the beauty and chivalry
of the Old South gathered, hero
every notable visitor came —
and these visitors numbered
some of America’s most famous
names.
The French Market was so
ciety’s rendezvous. All because
of the wonderful coffee served
at the quaint old stalls.
But since the establishment
of the French Market Mills,
and the invention of the new
perfectly - sealed can, French
Market Coffee in all its purity
and aromatic flavor can be had
on any private dining table.
There is a great treat in store
for those who have not yet en
joyed this delicious and famous
French Market Coffee. Try it,
and you’ll agree there is only
one real old French Market
Coffee. Roasted by the unique
hygienic process in expressly
built mills.
