DISEASES, PARASITES ANO VICES
OF POULTRY AND THEIR TREATMENT
* ? Cholera and Diarrhoea. 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.

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.
