The cause of wry tails is obscure , but Is atMbunvl to an injurj * to the hip or some part of the roar of the body , which causes .1 deformity. Examine a wry tailed chicken after dressing it and you will usually find , we think , that It Is a deformity 01 sonic part of I [ the body , usually of the hip. that | causes it. It has been argued that | such deformities are caused by overcrowding - j crowding in the brooder or being j crowded into a cramped position for several hours when the bones are soft and plastic. This , however , is theory onl. . Give tha Chicks Shsdc. Trovide shade in both the poultry ' yards and the chick runs. If nothing J better can by nfforded. erect canopies or tents.

A v.Tifeniu the American Poultry Atlvocate lias the following to say of the value-of skim millc as a partial ration for fowls : The West Virginia experiment sta tion has recently made some sys tematic tests to prove the va'ue of fckim milk for laying hens. The first tct covered 122 days. The tweuty- tv.-o hens fed skim milk laid 1.2-14 ejrgs as compared with ODG eggs laid by the twenty-two hens fed mash wet with water. In another test sixty hens fed the bliir.i milk ration laid SC2 eggd in ( hirty-jfcven days as compared with G.52 eggs laid by a' similar lot fed no dcim milk. Other tests -gave about the same comparative results. The conductois of these experiments esti mate that mitlcr the prevailing condi- iion.s and with e'gs ; selling for 20 or 2. ) cents per dozen the fkini milk used for moistening the mash had a feed ing value of from 1to 2 cents per quart. That milk Is one of the best general foods for almost all stock and human beings , too , is recognized by everybody and needs no special proof. That it should have better results in nutrition than just plain water is real ly self evident When I feed skim milk to my fowls , I do expect to get some benefit from it. But it ia a satisfaction to know that it is worth , for feeding purposes , the comparative ly high figure of 14 or 2 cents a quart. At the Ontario experimental farm some tests of the value of skim milk , whey. etc. . as ai addition to grains for fattening poultry have recently been conducted. From a summary of data ou the relative value of whey , skim milk and numerous feeds for fat tening chickens It appears that gain was most cb'T.ply made on a mixture of equal parts of conr.neal , oatmeal and shorts mixed with whey , the cost being 4 cents per pound , and was most expensive (0 ( cents per pound ) on a mixture of equal part3 of cornmeal. shorts and oatmeal , with 30 per cent of pork scrap , water being used to wet up the ration. It was found that sour skim milk ( milk that Is thickened ) is without doubt the best liquid to mix with grain rations where a uniform product is wanted and more so where white fleshed chickens are in demand ; also that sweet skim milk has not so high a feeding value for grown chick ens as sour milk and that whey is a better food than is generally consid ered. It seems to aid digestion. Liquid' Lice Killers. As a general rule , the commercial liquid lice killers are more dependable and satisfactory than hoinemi(1e : ko'-n- sene mixtures. However , the follow- .ing combinations will be found reliable , if carefully used : A saturate solution of crude naphthalene Hakes In kero sene , made by dissolving In kerosene all it will take up of crude naphtha lene Hakes , makes an effective lice paint and is a good remedy for scaly leg. T-KO fluid ounces of any coal tar disinfecting liquid mixed with a gal lon of kerosene is an effective lice paint for destroying red mites and coop lice. Either of these preparations used as a liquid lice paint about the roost.-j and dropping boards rhonlrt bo applied In the forenoon or before Hie middle of the day. so that they will thororghly dry into the woodwork be fore the fowls go to roost. Preparing Broilers For Market. A fat broiler is qurte a rariiy. The best that can be done In general K to have them plump , for the natural tend ency of the chick is to tu-e ail nutri ment for growth and development. When the birds are nearly large enough for the market , they should be given all the fattening feed they will eat , and for this purpose corn in va rious forms should be fed freely. They will digest more feed if fed ground | than if whole or cracked. A moistened j j mash consisting of about two-thirds | cormneal and one-third bran by bulk ' j Is good. Cooked potatoes are good. ' ] and mill- : , with a little sugar added , j will hasten fattening. Liver Trouble In .Fowls. When a few hens in a Hock show . } symptoms of advanced stages of liver j j trouble , it is reasonable to conclude ! that others in the Hock are in the ; " earlier stages. Give the floi-k a grass run if possible. If not. give green food liberally , avoid the excessive use of corn , and try to secure a consider able amount of exercise for the fowls. This is best accomplished for Cowls in confinement by feeding the gram in j litter and feeding rather sparingly at Qrst This reductionof diet .should nott t be continued too long. If it is. the . ] birds become weakened and reduced in ! flesh. I The Feather of the Hen. . , The shaft of the feather 5 ; the stem 3f the feather , that part which is filled ; with pith and which b'cars the barbs. ( Ihc barbs are the side branches of the feather. Shifting means that the shaft | 3f the plumed portion of the feather is either lighter or darker than the web ' f the feather. The web of the feather ; . s the Hat or plumed portion of the ' feather made up of a series of barbs on either side of the shaft. - * Fattening Cratcc. ur crates : I.M mide : with slat JOtloius. The log weahuefs of chick-- ms confiacil in crates is often due to .bention being too one sidctl. A little ono meal -graniilateil raw bone add- , d to the mash will usually prevent ' his trouble , or use cut clover and cut ! ilfalfa freely. | The Valuable Trap Nest.
