INFECTIOUS DISEASES
OF YOUNG CHICKS

Prepared by poultry division. United
States department of agricultural
White diarrhea, a disease common
among very young chicks, is n condi-
tion which has as its most prominent
symptoms more or less profuse diar-
rhea, the droppings consisting almost
entirely of mucus from the intestinal
tube and the white secretion of the
kidneys.
The medical treatment of chicks af-
fected with the disease is impracti-
cable. as it is too expensive and has
very little effect on the course Of the
disease The birds may be given sour
milk or buttermilk TO drink, or. lack
ing this, fifteen grains of powdered
catechu may be added to the gallon of
drinking water.
The symptoms of gapes are most fire.
quently observed in chicks from ten
days to four weeks old.
Reliance must be placed upon pre-
vention rather than cure in connection
with this disease, because the average
chicken two to three weeks old has
not sufficient value TO warrant the ex-
penditure of much time or medicine ir
its treatment
Sometimes It is found advisable TO
extract the worms or to inject some
liquid into the windpipe which will
kill them. Extractors are made in
various ways. Generally a small quill

Keep the henhouses as cool as

Overcrowding the flock in hot

Don't judge the hen by her ap-

Despite the common idea that
summer hatched chicks do not pay.
the fact is. they are profitable IL
given proper treatment. Summer
chicks should not be allowed TO run
on the same ground used for ear
lier matches. nor should they be fed
in the same yards with the early
Matched chickens. Penned in a
clean yard by themselves and pro-
vided with shelter from sun and
rain and plenty Of good food and
fresh water the youngsters Will

COUNTY TAXES WILL BE LOWERED

that the facts and figures do not bear
out the statement in the least. It
should be remembered while making
these comparisons that Jackson coun-
ty, the smallest of the new counties
which will be created out of Stanley
county pays practically 24.cO0.0 90 as
their share of the necessary running
expenses of Stanley county for the
same period as that for which these
figures are given; and while we have
not the exact figures for the Haskon
county territory and the territory
which will remain as old Stanley
county, the amount of money they
pay equals of exceeds that paid by
the Jackson county territory. The
figures here quoted are taken from
the State Auditors report for 1918
and will be found on page 25. II you
think that the figures we give are not
correct, look it up and verify them
for yourself. Bennett county and
Mellette county are two that have
been but recently organized and both
of them exceed in size the territory
to he within the limits of Jackson
county, yet it cost Bennett county
but S16, ,4s1.73, in total expenditures
to conduct their business for the year
ending June 3Oth, 1913, or practically
eight thousand dollars less than the
Jackson county territory is paying as
their part of the Stanley county run
ming expenses; Mellette county, larg-
er than the proposed Jackson county
conducted their business for the same
period on an expenditure of but $25.-

DIVISION OF STANLEY
Sioux Falls Press Com
ments on County
Division.

Sioux Falls Press: All indication
OF the tendency of the vast prairie
expanses west of the Misst uri river
in South Dakota to divide up into
smaller and more compact units OF
government is visible in the proposal
that Stanley county be divided. into
three separate counties. Thesnews-
papers of that largest of uth'DaKo-
ta counties are vigorously entering
into the campaign for division and
at this distance the prospects of sue
cess appear bright.
Stanley is an immense, unwieldly
county almost five times as large as
Minnehaha. The smallest of the new
counties proposed in the plans for di-
vision will contain 26 townships and
will have an area greater than most
counties Of the state. The other two
will be five or six times as large as
some of the smaller counties in the
eastern part of South Dakota.
Stanley ought to be thus divided.
County government is of small bene-
fit when exercised oyer 80 large an
area. The advantages of local gov
erDment, which constitutes the sole
reason tor dividing states into small
er units of government instead of
confining all public affairs to the state
capital, are to great extent lost in
such circumstances.
1t means less OF isolation for the
people of that part of the state. It
will mean improvement for towns al
ready established and the building of
new towns. That section of South
Dakota is developing, assuming less
of the frontier aspect and moderniz-
ing. The campaign for county diyi-
sion is one of the unmistakable signs
OF progress and increased activity in
all lines.
