MAKE FARM POULTRY MORE PROFITABLE

The farmers Of West Virginia should
keep more fowls According to the
last census 1928 farms, or 93.1 per
cent of all farms in the state, report
ed fowls The total number Of fowls
on farms is given at 3,310,155. This
does not include the fowls in towns,
villages and cities which were not
enumerated. About seven per cent
then of our farms have no poultry of
any kind, and the farms reporting
poultry have, on an average, only 81
fowls per farm flock With better local
markets and no better natural advan-
tages Ohio has 68 fowls per farm, Penn
sylyania 81 fowls per farm, and Mary
land So. We can double the number of
fowls without materially adding to the
cost of labor necessary to care for
them, and without materially adding to
the cost for the necessary buildings. In
this way and at one bound we can
double the net income from the poul-
try in the state. Fowls kept with
reasonable degree of intelligence
should give net profit after paying

Specific Germ of the Disease Has Not Been Definitely
Identified Water Should Be Substituted
For Milk to Effect Cure.

Infectious Castro Enteric or White
Scours in calves is one Of the most
dreaded diseases by dairymen. 1t is
always seen in the young calf from the
time it is born until it is two months
old, and this is just the time when all
young stock should grow and make
the best possible start if we expect TO
get the most out of them.
The symptoms of this disease usu-
ally appear within the first two weeks
after birth. When delayed for a few
days. there may be constipation, the
faces being hard, stuck together, and
covered with mucous. The young ami
NAL acts careless of the teat or of the
pail II brought UP by hand, and acts
uneasy. The belly feels hard and dis
tended if fermentation has set in.
Straining to pass manure causes an
acid odor, sometimes vomiting of clots
of sour smelling cheese. The patient
will show signs of abdominal pain,
with uneasy movements of the tail and
limbs, and sometimes looks backward
towards the flank, indicating pain with
a plaintive cry. This is followed in a
few hours by liquid stools of sour,
sticky nature and peculiar odor Of
rotten milk, which increases as the
disease advances. The tail, hips and
hind legs become soaked with the dis
charges and as the disease advances
the air in the stable becomes more and
more repulsive. The same odor comes
from the mouth and breath, while the
tongue will be coated with a whitish

been found in sections of Hungary,
Germany, England, Ireland, Scotland,
Wales and Newfoundland.
In view of the above considerations
we are very urgent that no one should
import potatoes, especially for seed
purposes. A considerable number of
serious diseases have been brought to
this country on imported plants, and
here is another one, which would un-
doubtedly cause rs enormous losses,
ready to spread destruction in our
fields If we give it chance to start.
The introduction OF the wart disease
of potatoes would be a most severe
blow to potato growing in this country
and everything possible should be
done to prevent it's entry.
The Bureau of Plant Industry at
Washington, d. c., has issued cir
cular, No So, on this disease, and any
one interested could doubtless secure
copy by addressing them.

The "Wart Disease" of potatoes gets
its name from the fact that tubers
which are badly affected show one or
more rough, dark, gall or wart-like out
growths.
This disease is caused by fungus,
and almost always starts in an eye.
In the very early stages, just after in
lection, it is practically impossible to
know whether the disease Is present
In potato or not. Later, the diseased
portion begins to enlarge like gall.
The skin finally breaks and the entire
growth becomes very rough and
brown.
The fungus is capable of living for
number of years in the soil from
which diseased crop has been taken.
OF still more Importance to US, at pres
ent, is the fact that it is carried over
from year to year in seed potatoes.
Moreover, there is as yet no practical
remedy which may be applied.
This disease was first definitely re-
corded in upper Hungary during the
year 1896. Up to the present time it has

Governor Slgn.d Defeated Bill.
Investigation o; the horse journal
has disclosed an unusual thing In con-
nection with Senate Bill 300, which
allows a county judge to designate
some person to act in his stead IL Ill
or absent from the county. Under the
existing law the nearest magistrate
shall hold court and In one county
the magistrate nearest the county
seat was negro. The act allowing
tn Judge to appoint was intended to
prevent the negro magistrate from
sitting as county Judge. The bill was
signed by the governor, and it was
thought the act had become a law
until somebody with an inquiring
mind dug into the house journal and
found that the bill had been defeated
Ia the house. The bill passed the SEN
ate and went to the house, where 1t
came up during the closing days of
the session. The bill had been en-
rolled before 1t was brought up In the
house so as to avoid delay. The bill
was brough. to vote in the house
and defeated, but the enrolled bill, in
some way. became tangled up in the
stack of bills that had passed and
the speaker signed the enrolled copy
1t went back to the senate and was
signed by the lieutenant governor and
then went to the governor, who APP
proved 1t. The bill is not law, as
the defeat in the house cannot be
cured by any subsequent act.

white, which giveso the disease the
name of white scours.
The appetite may be retained for a
short time, but it is gradually lost, and
the patient becomes dull and listless,
hard to get on its feet, and then walks
with a staggering gait. In a short
time 1t becomes very sick, unable to
rise, becoming weaker, and dies.
The number of deaths from this dis
ease in colts is high, averaging about
eighty per cent In calves it is from
fifty to ninety per cent, and in lambs
about fifty per cent.
The specific germ that causes this
disease has never been definitely iden-
titled, but its habits have been discoys
cred. The germ enters the system of the
calf either through the navel or mouth.
After the germ once enters and gains
a foothold, all that is needed for it to
grow and multiply is the milk tame by
the calf This seems to be the ideal
media for it to live In, and as long dis
the calf is fed on rich milk the malady
will continue. The thing to do, then,
Is to take away the milk anu 1eed the
calf boiled water cooled to blood heat,
or, if the case is not too bad. add just
little milk to the water, thus, de-
stroying the breeding pace of the
germ, and you have cured the case.
If this treatment is followed for the
first eight hours after the symptoms
appear, the calf will very soon recov-
er and gain back in a few days what
it lost, and will continue to do we'll
On the other hand, if the calf is stuffed
with milk after it is once taken sick,
it will die, or If it ever does recover
it will take long time and may be
stunted for life.
