built up one climax after another in

DOOMED TO PASS FOREVER

BlackEead is a disease of the liver
and intestines which produces form
of dystentry and.is caused by minute
parasites, and called blackhetd, be-
cause the heads of the affected birds
turn black at certain stage of the
disease.
In many cases birds die from CON-
plications induced by the presence of
the disease rather than from it's i'm
mediate effects.
Blackhead destroys about four
fifths of the young turkeys before
they are six weeks old, and of the re-
naming one-fifth. one tenth to one
fifth die at a later period
The advice given by experts in the
disease is to quit breeding turkeys
wherever it appears, and this is re-
sponsible in a very large degree for
the rapid curtailment of the industry
in the eastern states.
The hope of the turkey-raising in
dustry appears at present to lie in the

How to Get Rid Of Red Ants.

Is there any remedy for the little
red ant pests. These are numerous in
this village and very many house
keepers would rejoice to know how
to get rid of them.- O. G.. B.
The control of the common red ant,
q great pest in pantries and kitchens,
Is difficult becauss of its habit of
building nests in the walls of houses
almost out of reach with ordinary in
secticides. Good results can be OBJ
tanned in controlling the red ant by
trapping it with greasy bones laid
about in their runways. When the
bones are well covered with ants, they
can be dropped into boiling water
and replaced for another supply. The
inmates of nest can be almost to-
tally destroyed if this is followed up.
Sponges soaked with sugared water
can be used In trapping the larger
black ants. Two or three ounces of
carbon bi-sulfide dropped in holes in
their outdoor nests will often destroy
the entire colony. G.. S.
