BLACK Head Disease of Turkeys.


Turkey raising has been abandoned in
southern New England on many farms,
owing to the prevalence of a disease
known as black head. Hi large proper
ton Of the affected fowls the liver and
a part of the intestines are badly dis
eased, these parts generally being spot
ted and in chronic cases are one mass Of
hardened yellow. humps. The Rhode Is
land agricultural experiment. station at
Kingston has been investigating the
trouble in cooperation with the United
States division of animal pathology,
and there is every reason to believe that
the disease is Of an infectious nature. a
government expert has been detailed to
the station and will investigate the dis
ease and examine such diseased organs
and turkeys as can be supplied him BY
the poultry division. Professor Samuel
Cushlnan invites the cooperation Of
farmers in seeking out and securing birds
affected with or that have died from
black head and noting the full particu-
liars. The station desires information
from any one relating to the way in
which turkeys become infected, the age
at which they are most susceptible,
whether the disease affects the poultry
and full particulars of serious outbreaks
of any poultry disease. The information
obtained from the investigation will
also furnish data as to the necessity of
adequate measures for the state control
Of poultry diseases.

FREEZING eY MACHINERY.
It's Results ~ Compared with Tho
Through che Use Of NcItlnr Tee.

Its Results Compared with Those
Through tho Use of Melting Ice.
The superiority Of Iufrigeration OBJ
tanned by mechanical processes, as COM
pared with that obtained by melting ice
appears in tho facts that by il more in
tense cold my DO secured; that any dc.
sired degree OF cold may bo maintained
with perfect uniformity; that a drier
atmosphere is secured in the refrigerat-
ing box or room; that tho Inconvenience
Of frequently replenishing the ice bun
kers and the slop and dirt attendant upon
this work arc avoided; that the annoy
ing uncertainty Of ice supply and varia-
biiity in its price are avoided; that
space in tho rooms OF boxes TO be cooled
is economical by substitution Of a coil
Of pipe on walls Of ceiling for tho bulky
ice bunker, and that this refrigeration
can be employed for many purposes and
places whore Ice cannot be used at AL.
Added to all this is tho fact, Of para
mount importance. that whore much
refrigeration Is required the cost Of
machine and its operation is far less
than the cost Of ice sufficient to do an
equal amount Of work.
These advantages have proved so great
IN practice that every brewery, packing
house, cold storage warehouse OF other
establishment requiring a large amount
Of refrigeration contains its individual
refrigerating plant Where consumption
amounts to ten tons or more Of ice daily
the question Of economy will be almost
invariably decided in favor Of the ma
chine. II less than ten tons DO required,
the cost Of a machine and its operation
may exceed the cost Of ice sufficient to
do a similar amount Of work In many
cases the superior quality Of the refrig-
Grafton obtained, its cleanliness, relia-
bility and convenience or the require
ment OF more intense cold than ice will
produce secures the adoption Of the ma
chine. Therefore small machines are
frequently found on shipboard, in no.
tells and apartment houses and in many
manufactures, but most Of the ice gath
cred from rivers aud lakes or made In
factories is not consumed by the few
who require large quantities, but by the
many, who severally require less than
ten tons q day.
The effort to bring this superior re-
frigeration within the reach Of small
consumers has taken two directions
the production Of small and inexpensive
automatic machines aud syettm Of
supply Of tho refrigerant from central
stations Tire first has failed hitherto,
because the balance Of constantly vary
ing prcssures, temperatures, strength Of
solution, etc, is too complex matter
for purely automatic regulation. With
out constant skilled attention the ma
chimes work enthusiastically while the
relatively high cost Of plant, fuel and
cooling water In operating ON a small
scale defeats economy. * Chicago Times
