Many (owls in South Carolina die of what is call* ed cholera when sorghum seed is ma ture. Owing to tho amount of seed on tho ground, tho fowls and t hicken* ,are not fed other food to tailuuco their ration and intestinal troubles result Poultry in confinement fro quontly rocolvo an ovorsupply of corn, sorghum, or other grains. A heavy percentage of starch and (at the main constituents of tho grahm. in their food will kill fowls and chicks. They refuse to out and stand with ruffled plhmuge. Tho comb turns black. Treatment. Qlvo buttermilk or sour skim milk to drink and no food for two days. If you do not havo tho milk product add a few drops of sul furic acid to the drinking water, or sufficient to give It a tart taste. Feed cooked meat once u day. After the second day keep the Clemson Kgg mash In a hopper and scatter grain in litter as advised in the first para graph under "Feeding for ICggs." Cholera is also caused by drinking impure or stangnant water. Fill the low places whore tho water lies. Use the remedies mentioned above. A tonic for poultry which has been tested and may be recommended Is a teaspoonful of tincture of iron and ten drops tincture of nux #6mica to the pint of drinking water. It tends to improve digeston and enrich the blood. ?> Egg Eating. Laying hens eat eggs and egg shells because there Is In sufficient lime in the secretory glands of the uterus to form the shells of #the developing oggs. Hens consume an egg to obtain the lime In the sholl, and not the albumen or yolk. The foods poultry receive contains only traces of lime, and if ground lime stone. ground oyster shells, broken plaster, or other calcareous material is irot kept constantly before the a gTftat and unnatural craving fon^fils substance is developed. h^TVeatment. Do not fill empty egg i*ft?lls with pepper and flour, or apply ottoer so-called remedies that do not remove the cause of. this vice. Feed egg-eating hens empty egg shells in abundance, and the vice is Immediate ' ly stopped. Do not powder the shells; simply throw the broken parts on the ground, and in half an hour the hens are so satiated with lime that not an other egg will be aten. Maintain a supply of lime In future. Insect Pests. By lowering the vital ity of fowls and chicks, making them unprofitable and susceptible to dis ease, lice, init.es. and fleas cause an enormous loss every year. Lice live and breed on poultry and ran be exterminated by greasing each fowl with 33 per cent mercurial oint ment which can be bought at a drug store. The grease is placed on the flesh below the vent, covering a space not larger than a 25-cent piece with a small amount of tho ointment. This ointment poisons the lice and it is necessary to apply it only once a month. Sitting liens can be greased before the commencement of the hatch and when the chicks are dry. If the latter peep aiid stand with eyes closed, ex amine the head minutely, and you will probably find one or more large head lice. Anoint the head and the part under the beak with carbolized vaseline, or one part of the 33 per cent merculrial olntmept and four parts of grease. Mites remain on the roost, in the crevices of the poultry house (lining the day and crawl on the fowls at night to feed. They are red with blood in the morning. Mites are kill ed by painting or spraying tho roosts, nests, and places where they congregate with a mite paint con sisting of: Mite Paint. Kerosene (coal oil) 1 gallon Crude carbolic add or coal tar * V?? pint fjar(j 2 tablespoons Melt the lard, add it to the kero sene. and stir in the carbolic acid or coal tar. Fleas attach themselves to the side of tho faro and under the beak of the fowls and chicks. They are brown In color and can bo removed with one i Kreaslii^ of S3 per cent mercurial oint i mont They breed In the sand where tin* chicks are accustomed to gather I and to rid the premises of tieas it t? necessary to saturate their breeding places with a solution of ono part o) eresol (or similar dlsiufci tunt ) and | twenty parta of water. The mitt paint would also exterminate tb? fleas. . Scaly Leos. This unsightly poultry disease |m injurious to the marketabil Ity of chickens, making them objee tlonablo to buyers. Moreover, It U exceedingly contagious, one diHeHNed fowl being sufficient to In feet an on tire dock, tfcaly growths develop or the shanks and foot of poultry and art j canscd !<y tht> ravages of a mito aar coptes mutana. It Is more prevalent when* fowls are kept in a small yard or on the barb ground. A good gras* range Is helpful in overcoming tiit disease. Treatment. Thoroughly cleans* the legs by washing with hot water, soap and a hand brush. Dry the legs and immerse in a solution of equal parti of kerosene (coal oil) and cottonaoed or linseed oil. Treat the chicken's legs in this way twice dally for a few dayk and then once daily until the shanks resume their normal appear ' ance. Whitewash is so commonly used around a poultry plant that it is ad visable to know how to make it prop erly. The first receipt for a cement whitewash is made u?e of by owners of cphl storage warehouses who de sire a snowy white wash that dries quickly, adheres strongly to cement, brick or wood, and does not rob ofl on the clothes, The receipt for a brilliant whitewash Is the receipt recommended by the 17. S. Govern ment. < A '? Cement Whltewaah. Slake one-hall bushel of lime with boiling water, adding the water slowly and stirring Constantly until a thin paste results, A 6-foot piece of 3-4 inch iron pipe makes a good utensil for stirring The lime will be lumpy If the water is added freely and the mass is not properly stirred. Add one-half peck of salt to the lime paste; stir thor oughly; add water to bring the white wash to the proper consistency. Throw a good handful of Portland ce ment in oach pail of whitewash, and a teaspoonful of ultramarine blue. Add the cement and blue powder Just before the wash is to be used and stir In well, otherwise the whitewash will be streaked. The cement makes the whitewash adhere strongly to any surface, and the bluing counteracts the grayish color of the cement and results in a white appearance. Brilliant Whitewash. Half a bushel j of unslaked lime. Slake with warm I water; cover it during the process to1 keep the steam. Strain the liquid: through a fine sieve strainer. Add a j peck of salt previously well dissolved j in warm water; three pounds of ground rice boiled to a thin paste and stir in boiling hot; half a pound of powdered Spanish whiting, and a pound of glue which has been pre viously dissolved over a slow fire. Add five gallons of hot water to the mixture, stir well and let it stand for a few days; cover up to protect from dirt. It should be put on hot. Color ing matter may be put in to make it of any shade, Spanish brown, yellow ochre, or common clay, etc. Wither whitewash can be satisfac torily used' In any sprayer, but it is well always to strain before using in order to prevent any gritty substance from getting into the valves of the sprayer and interfering with its prop er operation. With whitewash thin and smooth no dlfTieuly will the ex perienced. Further Information in regard to any branch of the poultry industry, or in reference to purchasing stock, eggs, or poultry appliances will be gladly furnished. FRANK C. HARE. Poultry Husbandryman, Clemson Colleg?. Economic conditions existing both in this country and Europe make it espe cially important that our farmers do more breeding for horse and mule pro duction. Unfortunately Southern farmers follow too much the custom of buying their horses and mulee as needed for farm work, and, too, a groat many mares on Southern farms are not bred each year when in fadt they should be. On many farms at least two colts can be raised each "' year where none are produced at present. The trouble and cost of raising them would be small compared with the cost when bought on the market. However, it must not be understood that the rearing of colts does not demand spe cial care. The value of a colt depends largely on the quality and merit of its sire. Naturally in most Instances the s1reN Is superior by far to the mare or dam as the sires are generally purebred and of epedal merit. Without exception good, purebred sires should be used If gvailable. Do not make the Mfntake of feeding to a scrub stall ion or scrub Jack," fifrereiy because the service fee la less. The service fee of any goo4 ALL FARM MARES SHOULD BE BRED stallion or jack is reasonable at from $15.00 to $20.00 ana In some instance* materially more than tfeat. Scrub sires are frequently stood at from $5.00 to $10.00 and many farmers conclude at once that there is a savin* by breeding to the cheaper sire, when In fact the offspring by the purebred aire will command on an average of ebout one hundred dollars more when old enough to work than that by the scrub sire. The time for colts to come depends on circumstances. Spring is the natu ral time for young animals to come.. The mare and colt could then be benefitted by new grass which aids ma terially in stock raising. However, where mare* must be worked hard during the spring and summer it Tnay be advisable to breed so as to have the s<v>lts come in the fall when the mare* ate more or less idle. Pall colts re quire more attention especially as to shelter and feeding. Under average conditions the mare will foal 340 days or 11 months from date of breeding. R. L.
