SCAlY LEG DISEASE CURED
Contagious Ailment Affecting Under
Filming OF Various Kinds of Birds
Caused by Little Mite.
fBy J. BAILEY BRUCE,

fBy J. BAILEY BRUcE.)
A minute mite is the cause of a con
tagious disease affecting the legs Of
fowls. turkeys. ~pheasants. patridges
n cage birds. According to some
authorities 1t sometimes affects the
comb n beak also. The mites exca.
vate places under the skin where they
live and breed.
b very common disease is easily
recognized by the enlarged r~oughened
appearance 1t gives the foot and
shank. The disease is present In most
1ocks unless especial care has been
taken to exclude 1t. 1t is slightly con
tagious. but usually only a few birds
IN a flock appear to be infected.
The scales on the foot and leg of an
effected bird Is raised by a crusty sub
stance deposited beneath them. The
LESSONS usually appear first near the

WORMS AS TlLLERS OF SOIL
Estimated There Are $4,000 Of Insects
In Each Acre Of Garden-Earth
Brought to Surface.

As tillers Of the soil. earth worms
constitute a great army. II is estima-
ted that there are $4,000 worms in
each acre of garden soil. and about
half that number in c~ornlelds. Nine
burrows or worm holes are usually
found In two square feet OF garden
soil. II is further computed that in all
cultivated lands in which worms are
able to live no less than ten tons OF
earth are brought to the surface in
each acre by the worms each year
Worm burrows are frequently found
extending for Ave or six feet down
below the surface Since they feed
largely upon vegetable matter and
since various acids. which are called
humic. are generated by the digestion
Of such matter. worms must affect the
quality Of the soil to that extent. for
the humic acid plays a far more i'm
portant part In the disintegration of
rocks and the production Of proper
soil than does earbonic acid. itself
known to be q powerful agent. The
tillage Of worms Is thus chemical as
we'll as mechanical in its effect upon
the soil.

Work ~ Refd.

J. p. Gilbert Of the University Of
Illinois. said In a recent lecture on
Birds OF the Farm and City, that
the hunters OF the cities who did not
realize the value Of birds to farm prod
ucts made possible an annual loss
from farm insects to crops and for
ests Of the United States OF 500. 0
600. Mr.. Gilbert said 1t is due to the
destruction Of quail In Illinois thai the
potato bug is becoming such a pest:
that quail on the table Is worth a few
cents, but that quail on the farm is
worth many dollars: that every hawk
and owl is worth on an average of $50

In early stages the disease does not
appear to disturb the general health
Of the fowl. AS 1t progresses the birds
become lame and sometimes the foot
becomes go badly diseased that joints
or even whole toes drop of.
The infection from bird to bird
probably takes place on the roosts or
from mother to chick. The conditions
which favor its spread in a flock are
dry. barren runs. especially on aka
line soils or in yards filed with ashes
or cinders. Foul roosting places also
favor the spread of the disease.
The disease is easily cured and 1t is
worth the trouble of n poultryman
to cure all the affected birds and to
carefully examine any birds purchased
that infected ones may be treated be-
fore they are introduced into the
flock.
Individual treatment is necessary.
Penetrating oils and ointments are
successfully. If the case is not
far advanced. application of oil or
ointment at intervals of two to three
days will soon do the work.

by many. This should
be rubbed into the leg and foot every
days until signs of the disease
Another remedy Is mix
Of one part Of coal oil or kero-
and two parts raw linseed oil.
With any treatment which involves
the use of kerosene care must be ia
ken not to wet the feathers of the leg. J
this causes irritation and some
times burns the skin.
