Grease Kill Chicks.'
I will be very glad if you can tell
me what makes my chicks die. I put
put 190 incubator chicks and some
over 100 hen-hatched chicks at one
time. They began to die when a few
days old. As it was rainy, I had my
coops in a house 12x4 and kept hens
in coopg, but let chicks run in and
out of coops, but not outdoori. There
is dirt floor in house, but it was per
fectly dry. I kept some straw and
haymow sweeping over ground, just
enough to scratch in, not very heavy.
When they were about a week old I
found a few head lice and I greased
each chick's head with lard. Since
then I have aeen no lice either on
head or body. They have been out
nice day?, but not in wet grass.
I fed oatmeal mostly for two weeks,
then gradually mixed in ground wheat
and some ground corn.. They have
no signs of bowel trodble, only just a
few. I fed one tablet of medicine to
each quart of drinking water three
times a day. I greased the. hens, but
not enough to make chicks very
greasy. ... ...
It seemed like the chicks that died,
the ones t examined, had great ye'
low scales over their bodies like their
skin was cracking and coming off in
large scales. I thought maybe that
was something that was killing them,
but did not know or what to do
for it. I lost 200, and maybe more.
It was mostly my incubator chicks
that died at first. They were Leg
horns, and my hen-hatched were Ply
mouth Rocks. A good many of them
died; they were all together. Mrs.
J. B., Iowa. ' .
I think it was the grease that killed
your chicks. Greasing little chicks is
a very delicate proposition and cannot
be practiced very succeisfully until the
chicks are at least 2 weeks of age.
They are very tender and will not
tand it. They start to crow4 and the
damage is done during tne night.
Creasing little chicks tends to weaken
them and they seem to kno v there is
lomething wrong. They go off feed
and the remit is that instead of grow
ing and going ahead they go back very
rapidly and die in a short time.
Death is principally due to a lack of
vitality and sufficient strength when
the chick is so small and it succumbs
readily, I would guard against greas
ing little chicks by properly greasing
the hen with blue ointment before she
is set on the eggs, and it is not neces
sary to grease incubator chicks.
" I note you say you are feeding oat
meal Oatmeal is a good feed for a
short time when fed in only limited
quantities. It is, however, a food that
requires -very little digestion, and
therefore does not develop the neees.
lary strength in the chick's digestive
lystem, and we have not found it a
very good feed to stick by for more
than the first week or to of the chick's
life, as we have noticed that oatmeal
fed chicks never seem to have the
strength that chicks fed on less easily
digested feeds have. s
Summer shade insures thrifty
chicks. ' , ' .
Broody hens should be removed
to slat-bottomed coops as soon as
discovered. Leave them there until

The Hague, Netherlands, July 5.
The Dutch horse has fallen on bad
times. So difficult is Holland finding
the provision of food on account of
the practical stoppage of fodder im
port! in recent months that transport
firms are obliged to restrict the work
of their animals to enable them, to
hold out under the curtailed rations,
Moreover, F. E. Fosthuma, minister
for agriculture, told the First Cham
ber that the number of ho'rses will
have to be reduced, as speedily as pos
sible, while swine, cattle' and other
farm stocks are likely to be even
more drastically cut down. Minister
Pnctlmma anttr.inates that' next au
tumn and winter there will be virtu
ally no imported cattle looas ana tnat
if the position does not improve the
number of cattle will have to be re
duced 25 per cent. This would neces
sarily mean the export of cattle and
meat on an abnormally large scale,
presumably mostly to the central pow
ers as they are large buyers of live
cattle. More than 35,000 head of cat
tle were exported last year, principally
to Germany, nearly all of these being
milch and breeding cattle.
The swine stocks are already de
clining fast, owing to lack of feeding
stuffs, while fowl are being slaugh
tered. This will mean high prices for
eggs next winter.
Forcible Reformation. .
Spring cleaning was in progress and mas
culine labor was bard to find. The widow
asked her "charlady" If she would bring
her husband along one day ta assist In
moving some heavy furniture. The man
came, and the widow was astonished to
see how battered hla face looked. "Has
your poof husband bad an accident t" asked
the widow.' . m .
"Oh. no. mum; that's what 'appened
when we 'ad a few words not long ago."
"Dear me. Mrs. Scrubbsl Did you do
that? What a shame! He seems such a
nice, quiet man, too!"
The charwoman pursed her lips.
"He is now, mum," she said, meaningly.
