rspeworm. of Poultry.

IL has been known for years that
tapeworms infest domesticated poultry
ana that In some cases they cause seri-
Gus epizootics among fowls. The out
breaks thus far recorded have occurred
chiefly In Europe, and as a natural out
come almost the entire work which has
been published on these parasites is the
result OF European Investigations. The
literature upon the subject is accord
ingly In Latin, German. French Danish.
Italian, etc, while in the English Ian
guage we have only a few short no.
tees concerning these worms. Generic
and specific diagnoses Of the parasites
OF this group are almost unknown ar
ticles In the English language, while
as yet we have absolutely no reliable
data as to how many species of tape
worms are found In American poultry.
Several outbreaks of tapeworm dis
ease have been noticed in fowls in diff
ferent parts of the country, and upon
various occasions specimens have been
sent to the bureau for Identification.
From a table showing SO recorded
species It was noted that 6 different
tapeworms have been recorded from
pigeons, from turkeys, II from chick
ems, from swans. from geese. 16
from ducks and 1 from an ostrich. One
form has been recorded as common to
pigeons. chickens and ducks. s forms
as common TO ducks and geese. l form
as common to geese and swans. l as
common to pigeons and ducks, and l
as common to pigeons and chickens.
The treatment OF tapewOrm disease
In the domesticated fowls must for the
present be more or less experimental.
as the records in this line are extreme
ly limited. The first rule to be carried
out in all cases OF diseased animals
whether chickens, turkeys. geese, ducks |
or others, is to isolate them from the
rest of the flock and keep them con-
dned until they have recovered. The
second rule is to destroy the droppings
of all animals known to be infected
With parasites, or If the manure is
needed as fertilizer it should be treat
ed in such manner as to kill the oya.
These two rules can be easily carried
1ut, and IL poultry raiser or a stock
caiser is not willing to set aside a
small yard for the isolation of the sick
animals. where their droppings can be
easily collected and taken care of ev-
cry day, 1t is almost useless for him to
administer anthelmintics to his fowls

we should have gained some favor with
the foreign market by letting them
know that we have fine butter here as

practice 20 ship the poorest butter. In
this way we have hurt our credit as
butter producing country. Now that
we have established so many creamer-
les there is less OF the low grades OF
butter and more OF the high grades

very plain to be seen that IL Is our |

or that you can buy. to keep, and dis
pose OF the others.
2. The best COW for the dairy is the
enc that produces the greatest amount
OF butter fat in year (for food con-
sumed) when being rightly fed.
3. To renew or increase your herd
raise the heller calves from your best
COWS.
4. Test your cows by weighing the
milk of each COW for a year and testing
IL occasionally with the Bahcock milk
tester and know how much butter tat
each one does produce.
5. Use the best dairy bred sire you
can get: one. II possible. that has a
long line OF ancestors that have been
iirst-cass dairy animals.
8. Keep record OF the time when
the cows are bred and have no guess
work about the time of calving.
Z. 1t is neither profitable nor ncces-
sary for COW to go dry more than
four to six weeks.
s. The udder should receive prompt
attention. An obstacle may be re-
moved from the teat the FIRST hour. that
might bailie science later
9, After separating the calf from its
mother, feed the natural milk as soon
as drawn. for week or ten days.
10. Don't milk the udder out clean
until the fourth day after calving.
This will often prevent a chill, which
often produces milk fever.

Profitable Cows.-Which is the most
profitable COW to keep? 1t is the COW
that produces the most at the least
cost. In the ninety days test at the
worlds fair the best cow cleared a
profit of over s73 and the poorest a
profit of only $24. Turning now to the
food account, we find that the cost of
food in both cases was practically the
same, yet one COW had the ability to
make three times the profit upon prac-
tically the same food. There are cows
in every herd that have this ability:
find them out. In these days of keen
we must reduce the cost
OF production. and this aspect of the
question should always be taken into
eonsideration.-Ex.
