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

CBy H. l. KEMPSTER OF Missouri Sta
Gapes is a disease affecting certain
birds, fowls, and particularly chicks
one to four weeks old. 1t is caused
by a small worm, called the cape
worm. which attaches itself to the
windpipe 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.
Tie 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
Embryos are often found in earth
worms.
To eradicate the disease, 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.

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 StationD
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 1 and 2
ate an average of 1908 pounds of
barley and 509.53 pounds of raw po-
tatoes, making gain in weight of
500 pounds. Those in lots and 4
ate 1000 pounds of barley and
663.75 pounds steamed potatoes, and
made a gain of 1850 pounds, while
those in lots and ate 1850
pounds barley and 56480 pounds
steamed potatoes and made a gain of
1910 pounds. Lots 7 and ate 30G.10
pounds barley without potatoes and
made 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 Z cents
pound live weight, the hogs fed barley
made a 1887 gain, which makes the
barley feeding value $162 to the hun
dred
nd fAH hov
potatoes at the rate of three pounds
OF potatoes to pound Of barley, made
a $4.25 gain. which gives the raw
potatoes feeding value Of 29 cents
to the hundred. Lots 3 and 4 receiv-
ing six times as much steamed pota-
toes as barley, made a $4.94 gain,
giving the steamed potatoes a feeding
value of AZ cents to the hundred.
Lots and 6 fed three times as much
steamed potatoes as barley. made a
$547 gain, making the feeding value
OF the potatoes AZ cents to the hun
dred.
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 S5.25 pounds
less barley to make this gain, so the
difference In feeding value is &C
counted for.
1t Is also noteworthy thaS the steam
potatoes are worth 13 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.
