Ike government microtia experts car- , Mtnly make a bugaboo out of their so 1 called "deadly white Otorrhea" acoarge. , Tbey surely m, fit theorise and printer's ink with no result This trouble among chicks Is simply . tkp result of sins of commission and : ■if li>i If you have this ailment i among your birds you are to blame i MriLpnl the much abused microbes. ' Mcny of our chicks died with this disease in our early experience in the . poultry business, but now we don't , see one case to the hundred, and we hereby give you the principal reasons : i Our White Wyandotte breeders bub j i Ma over with vigor and give us strong, | , plump, livable chicks . We use oo cheap, claptrap hatchfete and brooding machines, apply lots , A t moisture and aren't afraid to cool , •era We never lnbreed, mate old stock , generally, and one side of the pen ■Hist at least be two years old. Hatching eggs are carefully selected, i kept in c cool place, are never over , tan days old when set. are regularly tamed by rolling with the hand, chicks : aren't helped from the shell, and puny, , weak, deformed chicks get a quick qeletue. We aren't afraid to open the lncu- j bator door durlug the hatch and don't "mollycoddle" the chicks. We take them from the Incubator j quick as possible and sleep them In baskets and feed them In boxes for a few days, so when they go to the ! ' brooder they know how to eat, are j hardened to the air and can go right 1 Into the scratch room to exercise for \ ' their food. * We get our chicks out on the ground as soon as they get their legs and know their brooder. This prevents leg weakness. Our brooder Is colony style, 1 with dmmless hover, top beat and I is bedded with loamy sand kept sanl- j tery and well ventilated, the front i I door being open for air soon after the | 1 chicks are In. weather permitting. We start brooders at 90 degrees, which Includes heal furnished by chicks, and : gradually taper down according to i need of chlcka. always avoiding ex- I frame either way, as an overheated cMck gets bowel trouble as quickly as i sae that Is chilled. On a cool night we warm up hover j to make It more Inviting. On a chilly. , wtndy day we beat up when chicks | ore out. even If the heat has been , shut off, unless chicks are too large. | We dry off the chicks If caught In , storm snd warm the brooder during steady rains to prevent dampness and | try to keep our blrdb from getting wet, for that means diarrhea unless tbey . an well growc and feathered and also | causes gapes. j We feed only dry, sweet, ground tealu. stan lug them generally on a pood chick food, cracking our own j Wheat and white corn and giving Just enough to keep them a little hungry. They also have before them sharp 1 hard grit, -harcoal, good, cweet beqf ' •crap and pure water, and we never 1 change feed suddenly. Lain, but not least, we knock the lice. Our chicks : ■either have white diarrhea, gapes nor 1 lag weakness Try our plan and be mavlnced D0NT8. Don't let the poultry tg>use be dark J and gloomy when whitewash will ; ■Make It white and light. Don't let turkeys, ducks and hen» ! ran together Tbey do better wher all of ODe feather. Don't kick the horse If he tramps s fean In his stall. That's no place for a Ban at all.

BARNTTZ. THE COUNTY FAIR POULTRY SHOW. "Let's go see the chickens" is one of the first expressions when folks enter a county fair. Who isn't tempted to poke those roosters, geese and quacks? The peanut man Is sharp enough to keep hear the poultry pavilion. The small boy will share peanuts •very time with those crowers and cfecklere. No use talkin', everybody likes chickens. Mother started that affection when aha brought the peeps In ber apron from the nest for the little toddlers to laugh over. The management of our fairs own that the poultry feature Is moat popalar, and every year they, are making advancement In bousing, cooping, feed superintending and Judging the poultry exMktt. This season many societies advance the amount of premiums and throw open commodious and costly new poultry pavilions. Some have advanced first premium on ilngle birds to IS and pen to 120 and offer magnificent silver cups. this is appreciated by fanciers Is shown by an Increase In exhibits of high scoring birds, the entry at certain fairs last year being over 4,000. A few fair associations still have the fossil idea that the honor and advertisement of exhibiting Is very great, so they expect fanciers to uncrate, coop, feed, water and recrate their birds. One of these pays 75 cents for first, 40 cents for second, and demands an entry fee of 25 cents, and the fancier ! must attend to everything, even to | paying the drayage. Prize hogs are not needed at such fairs— the management will do. Unfortunately fairs j come at molting time when fowls are In poor condition. Tbey need special care and should be exhibited where drafts and frost cannot touch them; bedding should be dry. a sufficient quantity of good mixed grain, grit and water should be provided, and the superintendent should not only know bow to feed fowls, but be should know | the symptoms of disease, that such fowls may be promptly removed. It j pays to exhibit at progressive fairs, and you must have good birds to win. FEATHER8 AND EGGSHELLS. The Missouri legislature appropriates I $20,000 for poultry culture annually i and Is Increasing the amount. No ! wonder she is called "Show Me Land." j Pennsylvania appropriates money for | a statue to a politician to be set up In the rotunda of her capltol, but Missouri decorates ber balls of state with | the picture of an Orpington hen. Her j poultry product la $45,000,000, but Pennsylvania's Is only $15,000,000. George Fisher of Missouri is the world's champion chicken picker. He can pick a fowl In three seconds and picked 2.900 in twelve hours. When It comes to picking a chicken's j the preachers still hold the championship. In 1901 the first Buff Orpingtons j were exhibited In this country, and in that year there were Just eleven of the breed entered at Madison 8quare. in 1908 there were 444 entered there. That's surely going Mrs. Carrie Nation, of saloon smash- ■ 1 fame, has buried ber little hatchet I and Is going into the chicken business | In Arkansas. Will she sell eggs for | nog? Hope she keeps that hatchet | or It may get loose In the j rooster coop. , Freeh, pur^ air la an essential to I health aid growth among young fowls. I Let them roost outside If your pens I are small and crowded. Better lose a | few by varmints thanthe majority by | disease. A number of experiment stations re- j port sawdust and fine shavings to be j best for holding the ammonia In poultry droppings. But any farmer will tell you that sawdust Is a bad thing land. We mix droppings with earth and store In a dry place. The establishment of wild turkey farms Is a sign of a revival of interest In turkey culture. These southern and western specialists will make money If they raise and ship real wild spec! Poultry bouse burglar alarms are of little account especially in the summer. when everything must bo open Tor air. Give a bulldog free range around the plant at night and let him have free access to the roosting qunr ters. He's the ticket for a picket. 4s> . .
