Tapeworlas of Ponltrr.

1t has been known for years thai
tapeworms infest domesticated poultry
and 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 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 33 recorded
species 1t was noted that different
tapeworms have been recorded from
pigeons, 2 from turkeys, II from chick
ems, 2 from swans, z from geese, 16
from ducks and from an ostrich. One
form has been recorded as common to
pigeons, chickens and ducks, 5 forms
as common to ducks and geese, 1 form
as common to geese and swans, / as
common to pigeons and ducks, and 1
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-
fined 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 a manner as to kill the ova.
These two rules can be easily carried
out, and II poultry raiser or a stock
raiser is not willing to set aside a
small yard fof the isolation of the sick
animals, where their droppings can be
easily collected and taken care of ev-
cry day, it is almost useless for him to
administer anthelmintics to his fowls
or other animals, The chief drugs
used against tapeworms are: Extract
of male fern, turpentine, powdered
kamala, areca nut, pomegranate root
bark, pumpkin seeds and sulphate of
copper (bluestone).

the Importance of proper atten-
ton to this matter, says Dairy
World In the first place, dairy
men catering to foreign sup
ply need one ounce of salt to one pound
OF butter, with parchment paper on top
instead Of a cloth. Then, too, the tubs
should be we'll soaked and coat OF
salt rubbed on the inside before pack
ing the butter This will prevent the
butter from moulding This is a very
Important part Of the work Of prepar-
Ing butter for market. There have
been several thousand boxes OF butter
shipped from our market, which have
been received there with great favor.
These boxes hold fifty-six pounds OF
butter net. They are made OF white
wood and lined with parchment paper
This butter sells for better prices than
when packed in tubs, and we would ad-
wise all creameries to give the matter
Of packing butter for foreign shipment
careful attention, and be ready to use
them at any time the foreign market
Is in shape to pay us as much as our
own market, so that we can dispose OF
our surplus butter. II our surplus but
ter had been packed In boxes this sea-
son, 1t would have sold in the foreign
market for more money than 1t will
ever sell for here, after losing the stor-
age and interest, and, at the same time,
we should have gained some favor with
the foreign market by letting them
know that we have fine butter here as
we'll as Australia. 1t has been our
practice to 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
than we can consume at home. 1t is
very plain to be seen that 1t Is our
duty to cater to the wishes Of the peo-
pie upon whom we are dependent to
use our surplus butter, and in order to
do this we must give them the style
OF package they require, as well as salt
Ing and coloring to their wants. One
Of our neighbors has just returned from
Liverpool, and he tells me he has seen
the retailer try to sell tub butter and
the buyer would not look at it, but
must have his butter from the square
box. The same butter would sell at
retail for two cents pound more cut
from the box than from the tub. Now,
with these facts in view, is 1t not worth
our careful attention to try and build
up trade for our surplus butter, which
the writer is satisfied is going to be
increased year by year, as the dairy
business is still in its infancy in this
country.

standard Variety of Chickens.

The Barred Plymouth Rock is OF a
srayish-white color, regularly crossed
with parallel bars of blue-black run
ming in straight, distinct lines
throughout the entire length of the
feather, and showing on the
down or under color of the
feathers. The barring is somewhat
smaller on the hackle and saddle
feathers than on other portions of the
body. The bird is of medium size,
with broad neck, fat at the shoulders,
the breast is full, and the body broad
and compact; medium-sIzed wings
that fold gracefully, the points being
well covered with breast and saddle
feathers. A medium-sized head, orna-
mented with upright, bright-red comb
and wattles; large, bright eye, and
yellow beak, legs, and toes, places the
picture before us in its entirety. The
difference between the Barred and the
Pea-comb Barred is that the latter has
a small, firm, and even pea-comb, in
stead Of single comb.
For the farmer or market poultry
man they are favorites, being a medi-
UNI size, well proportional, with a
deep, full breast, making most adj
mirable bird for market purposes
They are hardy, mature early, and
make excellent broilers from eight to
twelve weeks old. They are good lay
ers the year round, and In winter they
lay exceptionally well. Their eggs
are brown in color and average eight
to a pound. They are good sitters
and excellent mothers.
The Barred Plymouth Rock, besides
being a practical fowl, is also one Of
the most sought after by fanciers. No
class is better filled at the average
poultry show of the country than is
theirs. Their graceful figure, upright
carriage, and active natures endear
them to all as farmers fowl. There
is fascination in breeding them for
plumage, the more regular and even
their barring the better. It re-
uuires much skill to breed them for

used for breeding. An established
rule for mating for cockerels is to use
standard color male with medium
dark females, and for pullets, use light
male and dark females. The double
mating is resorted to by many, yet the
writer has seen rare specimens pro-
duced from single matings. The char
acteristics of the Barred Plymouth
Rock are noticeable IA the other
Plymouth Rock classes, excepting
that of color. The size, shape, general
outlines, and qualities are the same

Mouldye Butter.

Commenting on our article on tho
above subject, the Elgin Dairy Report,
while endeavoring to gather informa-
ton in the east, has this to say: "This
matter has been troubling the cream
erymen in the older districts. Not long
since we had our attention called to
lot of butter shipped from the Elgin
district on which this mould or fungus
growth was very distinctly seen on the
outside of the package, and had pene-
trated even into the butter. 1t was
claimed by the receivers of the butter
that it was the use Of unseasoned wood
and the package being kept in a damp
place that had caused this. We were
unable from the examination we made
to find out any cause for fungus
growth, but it seemed to start from the
wood rather than the butter itself, and
in all cases that we have heard of late
ly, excepting those on the Pacific coast,
the growth seems to start from the
wood, and possibly the quality Of the
wood may be the primary cause Of the
growth Of the fungus. We shall be
pleased to hear from any Of our cream
cry or commission men who have had
any experience in that line, to learn
if they have found any remedy, or
learned what the original cause is Of
this mouldy condition both of the pack
age and butter"

Breeding Dairy Cows.

A writer in Dakota Farmer gives this
advice:
1. Select the best COWS in your herd,
or that you can buy, to keep, and dis
pose of the others.
2. The best COW for the dairy is the
one 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 heifer calves from your best
COWS.
4. Test your COWS by weighing the
milk of each COW for year and testing
it occasionally with the Babcock milk
tester, and know how much butter tat
each one does produce.
5. Use the best dairy bred sire you
can get; one, If possible, that has a
long line Of ancestors that have been
irst-class dairy animals.
6. Keep a 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 noceS.
sary for a COW to go dry more than
four to six weeks.
8. The udder should receive prompt
attention. An obstacle may be re-
moved from the teat the first hour, that
might battle science later.
8. After separating the calf from It's
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.
