NOTES OF THE POULTRY YARD
I Good Remedy for Many Bowel Trou
bles Found in Charcoal-'Bright
Red Comb Indicates Health.
(By C. S. MILLER.)
Charcoal Is an excellent corrective
i of the evils of injudicious over-feed
I ing, and also is a good remedy in bow
el troubles in poultry. Having won
! derful absorbent powers, especially
!for gases, only a small quantity should
;be put in the feed hoppers at a time
ion account of its absorbent nature.
;It should be kept in a inoroughly dry
! vessel with a close fitting cover to ex
; elude the air.
If the charcoal is heated well be
fore given to the poultry it will have
a tendency to drive off Impurities
which may have been absorbed, and
i will be equal to fresh charcoal
Ducklings usually start to molt
when eleven weeks of age, and lt will
require about six weeks for them to
finish the process and get into good
; condition again. For that reason duck
lings should be marketed at ten weeks
for after that they are more apt to
i lose weight than gain lt
In turkey culture never us? a gob
bler that is akin to the hens. In
breeding is the cause of much of the
"bad luck" In raising the young.
Ginger, if fed to poultry for too
I long a time is apt to weaken the di
gestive organs, while asafoetida and
One Week Old Squab.
?gentian are excellent digestive stim
ulants. Asafoetida, garlic and onions
**eSuct un-*he-4tmge-aini'
; bronchia.
When a fowl has a bilious look,
(dysentery and then costiveness, it ie
.a strong indication that it is suffering
I from liver troubles. When the edges
.of the comb and wattles are of a
purplish red it is a sign of inc.?es
'tion. Fowls in good health always
I have a bright red comb.
Before they sell the eggs received,
j commission men take them to a dark
j room, where they are candled. The
i egg ls held up in the left hand before
!& strong light and the top shaded
Iwlth the right hand. If the air cell
i-is small they know the egg is fresh.
If the albumen is noted to be slightly
ithin and watery and the air space
j greatly enlarged, it ls put down aa
'two months old. About a month or
j two after that the air space reaches
.about the center of the egg and it ls
[declared worthless.
Fel grass, such as is found in the
.'bottom of creeks of Long Island,
?seems to be a natural food for ducks.
! Inland breeders substitute steeped clo
ver hay or alfalfa and some chop up
i green rye, oats or corn. Where there
i is a scarcity of gre x feed more bran
must be fed in the ration.
Richardson, a former English au
thority, said the ideal gander has
large dimensions, active gait, lively
:and clear gray eyes, an ever ready
.and hoarse voice, and a demeanor
full of boldness. The goose should
be chosen for her weight of body,
steadiness of deportment and breadth
?of foot-a quality said to indicate the
;presence of other excellencies.
The American standard of perfec
tion classifies the weights of geese as
follows: Toulouse and Embden. ad
ult gander, 25 pounds; young gander,
:20 pounds; adult goose, 23 pounds;
; young goose, 18 pounds; African ad
-It gander, 20 pounds; young gander,
16 pounds; adult goose, 18 pounds;
young goose, 14 pounds; Chinese and
Canada, adult gander, 16 pounds;
young gander, 12 pounds; adult goose,
14 pounds; young goose, 10 pounds;
Egyptian, adult gander, 15 pounds;
.young gander, 12 pounds; adult goose,
12 pounds, young goose, 9 pounds.
The age of a fowl cannot always be
told by the size of the spurs. In the
yard of the writer is a three-year-old
hen that could easily be mistaken for
a yearling hen or pullet But there
is a dull, heavy look under the eyes of
th9 oid bird which an expert would de
tect at a glance. The best plan is to
band all the birds and a record kept
of their ages.
Keep Posted on Prices.
If one has any quantity of poultry
to sell, it is well to keep In corre
spondence with some good commis
sion merchant or manage' of some
good market so as to be posted as
to prices, and not be at the mercy ol
the Itinerant huckster, who travels
o?er the country to procure poultry
at any price that he can get the poul

Finds Cure for Epilepsy
After Years of Suffering
"My daughter was afflicted with
epileptic fits for three years, the attacks
coming every few weeks. We employed
several doctors but they did her no
good. About a
year ago wa
heard of Dr.
Miles' Nervine,
and it certainly
has proved a
blessing to our
little girl. She is
now apparently
cured and is en
Joying the best
of health. It ls
over a year since
\V?vV*' ** she has had a
* v' fit. We cannot
?peak too highly
of Dr. Miles' Nervine."
MRS. FRANK ANDERSON.
Comfrey, Minn.
Thousands of children in the
United States who are suffering
from attacks of epilepsy are a
burden and sorrow to their parents,
who would give anything to restore
health to thc sufferers.
Dr. Miles' Nervine
is one of the best remedies known
for this affliction. It has proven
beneficial in thousands of cases
and those who have used it have
the greatest faith in it. It is not
a "cure-all." but a reliable remedy
for nervous diseases. You need
not hesitate to give it a trial.
