CAUSE OF GAPES
IN THE POULTRY
To Eradicate Disease Birds At
fected Should Be Isolated
and Treated.

CBy H. L. KEMPsTER of Missouri Sta
tion)
Gapes Is a disease affecting certain
birds, fowls, and particularly chicks
one to four weeks old. It Is caused
by a small worm, called the cape
worm, which attaches itself to the
windplpe of its victim.
The symptoms are frequent gaping,
sneezIng, a whistling cough, with dis
charge Of mucus and worms, dump
ishness, weakness and dropping Of
wings. Dead birds will show forked
worms attached to the windpipe
The adult female cape worm is
much larger than the male, her body
being filled with eggs and embryos.
These embryos appear in the drop
pings or are coughed up. So the
trouble is spread by contamination
of runs, feed and drinking water.
Embryos are often found in earth
worms
To eradicate the diseaRe, isolate af-
fected birds, treat drinking water
with potassium permangnate; burn
dead birds, and remove chicks to
fresh ground which is not infected.
Cultivation of infected ground is
said to eradicate the worms In three
years.
Individual cases may be treated In
one Of three ways:
BY combining the chick for a short
time In a box which has air-slaked
lime on the floor. The lime is said to
cause the worm to release its grip,
and the chick to sneeze 1t out.
Stripping feather, leaving a small
tuft, moistening with turpentine and
introducing into the windpipe, care
being taken not to lacerate the wind
pipe or suffocate the chick.
Two horse hairs tied together, the
knot trimmed, run down the chick
ems throat, and removing in a twist
Ing manner, will also remove the
worms. Cape worm extractors are
also on the market.

The Whales song.

Whales are rarely thought of as vo-
calists, yet according to Miss A. d.
Cameron in THE New North" they
really have a distinctive song Of their
own.
A certain Captain Kelly was the
first to notice that whales sing. One
Sunday, while officers from three whal,
ing ships were canning" over their
afternoon walrus meat, Kelly started
up with II hear a bowheadl" There
was much chatting about "Kelly's
band" but Kelly weighed anchor, and
went to find the band.wagon. Every
sail followed his, with the result that
three whales were bagged.
Among bowheads, this singsong Is a
call that the leader of the school, as
he forces a passage through Boring
sea, makes in order to notify those
that follow that the straits are clear
of Ice.
Walruses and seals and all true NAM
mails that have lungs and live in the
water have a bark that sounds strange
enough as it comes up from hidden
depths. Every lookout from the mast
head notices that, when one whale Is
struck, the whole school is CALLED"
or stampeded at the very impact of
the harpoon; they have heard the
death song.
The sound that the bowhead makes
Is like the long-drawnout ''hoo-hoO-oo.
COL" of the hoot-owI. A whaler says
that the cry begins on F, and may
rise to A, B. or even G before slipping
back to F again. He assures US tnat

VALUE OF POTATO
TO FATTEN PIGS
Expert at Eastern Oregon Ex-
pertinent Station Gives Re-
suits of Test.
(By ROBERT wITHYCoMB of Eastern
Oregon Experiment Station.)

(By ROBERT WITHYCoMB OF Eastern
Oregon Experiment Station)
An experiment to test the feeding
value Of raw or steamed potatoes as
supplementary feed with a grain ra-
ton has been carried on with inter-
esting results.
The hogs in the experiment were d.
Vided into eight lots and records Of
the different feed given each and the
proportionate gains made were kept
carefully. Each hog in lots and 2
ate an average Of 17018 pounds Of
barley and 509.53 pounds Of raw Do
tatoes, making gain In weight of
60.7O pounds. Those in lots 3 and 1
ate 1000 pounds of barley and
66S.75 pounds steamed potatoes, and
made a gain Of 1880 pounds, while
those in lots and ate 1880
pounds barley and 664.8O pounds
steamed potatoes, and made a gain Of
1910 pounds. Lots and ate 3OO10
pounds barley without potatoes and
made a gain of 69.5 pounds.
The last two lots, fed barley alone,
were used as a check on the others to
show more definitely the proportion
ate value of the potatoes. At the
present market value of cents a
pound live weight, the hogs fed barley
made 1887 gain, which makes the
barley feeding value $1.62 to the hun
dred.
Lots 1 and 2 fed barley and raw
potatoes at the rate of three pounds
Of potatoes to pound Of barley, made
a $4.25 gain, which gives the raw
potatoes a feeding value of 20 cents
to the hundred. Lots 8 and 4 receiv-
ing SIX times as much steamed pota-
toes as barley, made a $494 gain,
giving the steamed potatoes a feeding
value Of At cents to the hundred.
Lots and fed three times as much
steamed potatoes as barley, made a
$5.47 gain, making the feeding value
of the potatoes AZ cents to the hun
bred.
1t is noticeable that those fed six
times as much potatoes as grain did
not make quite the gain made by the
others. but 1t required 1926 pounds
less barley to make this gain, so the
difference in feeding value is &C
counted for.
1t is also noteworthy thai the steam
potatoes are worth Is cents more to
the hundred than raw for feeding, as
shown In the comparison of the gain
Of animals fed the 3-to-1 ration.
