consists of substituting a wire panel
for the usual wooden panels in the
door3. Behind this wire there should
be a second panel of burlap, so that
in the severest weather the ventila
tion may continue without too much
draft. It will not be necessary in op-
erating such a scheme to provide any
other outlet for foul air, although the
air can be kept from getting foul by
daily removal of the droppings. In
summer the burlap can be readily re-
moved to permit of very free move
ment of the air, a necessary thing in
hot weather.
ERADICATE THE CHICKENPOX
Disease Is Not Necessarily Fatal and
Fowls Have Recovered With-
out Treatment.
Chlckenpox, sometimes called sore^
head, is a disease which will be prev-
alent at this time of the year among
the growing stock unless proper pre-
cautions are taken, says the Kansas
Industrialist. It is a contagiouB dis-
ease, and spreads very rapidly among
the flock when it once gets headway.
It seems to affect the cockerels more
than the pullets. Because of its ap-
pearance on the comb and face of
the bird It should not be a difficult
matter to eradicate the disease.
Symptoms.—The disease appears on
the comb, face and wattles of the bird
in the form of yellowish nodules,
varying in size from a pin head to one
fourth of an inch in diameter. These
nodules increase in size and turn dark
red. The disease should be treated
as soon as the first nodules are
noticed. It is not always fatal and
fowls have been known to recover
without any treatment. Insanitary
conditions and dampness seem to
cause the disease.
Treatment.—As it is a contagious
disease, the affected birds should be
removed from the flock immediately.
If the nodules are removed with a
sharp knife, and the affected parts are
treated with carbolated vaseline, the
birds should recover in a few days
If the case is very far advanced the
sick fowls should be given a few
grains each of sulphur and cream of
tartar three times a day, and oxide
of zinc ointment should be applied to
the affected parts twice a day. The
latter treatment is recommended by
Doctor Lehman, and has proved a sat-
isfactory remedy.

First Essential Is to Keep Youngsters
Qry—provide Air-Slaked
Lime and Grit.
It is very essential to keep them off
tho grass in the morning while the
dew is on. After they are allowed to
range feed them a little each evening
to bring them home. Always have a
pile of air-slaked lime and grit where
they can get at It and see how eager-
ly they will go after it on coming
home. If any of them droop look for
lice in the quill gathers of the wing
and along the back. 1 use a good
fresh insect powdor to dust them
when they are a week old and once a
week after that until eight weeks old.
If the trouble is not due to lice it is
probably caused by something they
have eaten and for this I give one-
half teaspoonful of salts dry.

Ventilation and Cleanliness.
If poultrymen would worry lerui
about ventilation and pay more atten-
tion to cleanliness there would be less
losses. Ventilation is needed, and if
the houses are built on the scratching
shed order, all will be supplied that is
required. But if the filth is allowed
to accumulate in a hen house, all the
ventilation that a scratching shed
house can afford will not prevent the
entrance of disease.

KEEPING A POULTY RECORD
Knowledge of Receipts and Expendi-
tures Is of Great Assistance
to Chicken Raiser.
(By R. D. SCHMIDT.)
One of the greatest needs of most
poultry keepers is a definite record
of expenditures and receipts. In too
few cases does the owner of a poultry
flock actually know whether his fowls
have been an expense to him or have
paid a profit. This is perhaps truer
in regard to poultry than with most
other branches of animal industry,
because of the facts 'that both ex-
penditures and receipts are spread
over the entire year and are individ
ually small, that a large part of the
product is used at home, and that the
poultry keeping is incidental to the
other farm work.
When the Crop Is Laid By
the homeseeking farmer will have the
time to personally investigate. He
cannot afford to pass the great, solid
opportunity offered to secure a home
