The Cause of Wry Tails.
The cause of wry tails is obscure , but
Is atMbunvl to an injurj * to the hip or

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

FEEDING SKIM MILK.
_ A
Show That It Is a Valu
able Rattan For Fowls.
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

Bottled Beer
This water has in itself health-giving
properties" that peculiarly adapt it to
the brewing of a delicious , palatable
beer. During the past fifteen years
STORZ BEER has become famous
fe&v ltf *
because of the use of this water. No
other one ingredient entering into the
manufacture of beer has so. much to
do with its general excellence as pure
water. Discriminating people who
9 want nothing but the best when eat
ing or drinking will appreciate this
point and insist on having STORZ
