AUian Tuberculosis Serious.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallls-The fact that avian tubercu-
losis, commonly known as tuberculosis
of fowls, is now prevalent in the
Northwest has been shown by the in
vestigations of the meteorological de-
partment of the Agricultural college.
Unless the disease is checked before it
establishes itself quite generally, it
will not only work great damage to
the poultry business, but it will boost
the cost of living another notch. 1t
should be stamped out radically-a
thing easier said than done.
Fowl tuberculosis is difficult to de-
tect until it is we'll advanced or the
bird has been killed for examination.
1t is caused by a germ that cannot
affect healthy fowl until carried to
it by some means, and herein lies the
best hope Of success in combating it.
Infection is spread by the mingling of
an infected flock with sound one, by
means of droppings that carry the
germs, by flies, and by infected food,
such as the carcass of a tubercular
bird. It would doubtless be well to
guard against all these sources, espe-
cially against the introduction Of new
birds into a sound flock.
In cases where the disease is already
established it is recommended that
small focks be killed off, all cheap
buildings burned, and the grounds dis
infected and used for some other pur-
pose for some time.
"lf the stock is too large TO be done
away WITH" says 7. d. Beckwith,
"disinfection is the only procedure,
and often that is not at all certain.
All suspected birds must be weeded
out, and the houses thoroughly cleaned,
scalded and disinfected. Feeding and
watering troughs must receive the
same treatment. The runs should be
plowed to turn the germs below the
surface"

Care of DrU CoLrs.

During the eight or ten weeks when
the cows are dry their feed should be
chiefly roughage. according to the Ore
gon Agricultural college Dairy depart
ment. As she nears freshening she
may be fed two pounds OF bran or two
Of oats daily. Two parts Of each TO
one Of oil meal is another suitable
feed. Roots, cabbage, or pumpkins
are also recommended. Dry coarse
roughsge, such as straw and corn
stalks, are not good, and together with
cold water, cold draughts and lying on
the frozen ground, cause baked udder
or garget. No more feed Of any kind
should be given than she will eat up
clean. The first feed after freshening
should be half pail of whole or
ground oats which has been allowed to
stand covered for half an hour after
pouring hot water on the grain.

Profits In Fruit
Depend on Handling

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-"Adversity and disappointment
have taught the farmer many things,
one of which is that he must master
the conditions of his market either by
himself or through his direct repre-
sentatives. In times past the watch
word of the grower has been produc-
tion. He has striven to produce the
largest quantity of marketable fruit
possible, and has left the selling of
this fruit to his local dealer or the city
commission man. Not knowing the
real needs of his market he has many
times suffered at the hands of un-
scrupulous dealers. Often he has seen
his profits disappear like dew before
the morning sun"
The truth of the foregoing state
ment, together with directions for
avoiding these mistakes in the future,
are brought out in Bulletin No. ll8,
prepared by Professor C. |. Lewis,
head of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege Horticultural department. "Some
of the growers important problems
are standardizing his pack, efficient
advertising of his goods, wider dis
tribution and greater consumption of
fruit, and organization and co-opera-
tion with his fellow growers for the
common good. To help him solve these
problems is the object of this bull
letin."
In order to help the grower reach
the market with his fruit in the best
and most attractive condition, the sub
jects of picking, grading, cleaning,
packing, storing, shipping and mar
keting are described in detail. The
Importance of the operations and
methods of handling them economically
and effectively with description and
illustration of equipment and material
are presented in an interesting and
easily followed manner. Measures and
packages of various commercial fruits
of Oregon and other leading fruit
states are given in tabulated form.
The number of individual fruits in the
different sized packs in the varying
arrangements is also shown in table.
Photographs of straight and diagonal
packs of fruit are shown. Also pack
ing houses, mechanical graders and
box presses.
The kinds of fruit for which hand
ling operations are given are pear,
peach, plum, cherry, ounce, berries,
and grapes.

Plans for Building
Septic Tank on Farm

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-The purpose of septic tanks on
the farm is to dispose of house and
farm sewage without communicating
the premises and endangering the
health of the owner. A great deal of
the sewage that finds its way into the
septic tank has more or less solid mat
ter suspended in the liquid. If this
matter is left on the surface or in the
nearby soils it produces bad odors and
disease germs when it decays. In the
septic tank most, but not all, of the
solid matter is liquefied and rendered
hamless by the action of the bacteria.
In order to bring about these
changes, says Professor T. D. Beck
with, of the Oregon Agricultural col
lege, sit is necessary that the tank be
composed of two compartments. One
of these must be as nearly alright as
possible and the other well supplied
with air. There must be no possibility
of air escaping from the second cham
ber into the first. Many of our So
called septic, tanks have only partial
dividing wall between the chambers,
or only one chamber. Such tank is
nothing more than cesspool that is
serious menace to health. There are
two sets of bacteria, whose work is
necessary to decompose the solid mat
ter. The kind that first attacks the
solid matter in the sewage cannot live
and work in the presence of air; the
kind that finishes the work cannot live
and work without air."
The details by which the foregoing
results are achieved are not so COM
plicated as one would suppose. A full
account of the location, construction
and preparation of septic tanks for the
farm have been prepared by the Ore
gon Agricultural college in Bulletin
Extension Series 2, No. 8. Copies of
this bulletin may be had free of cost
by requesting them of Extension Di-
rector, Corvallis, Oregon.

Water for Dairy Co,p.

Water requirements Of the dairy
COW are not always given the attention
they ought TO receive. Aside from the
large amount Of water used in milk
production, cows will drink about go
to so pounds day IL they are given
that amount Of fresh, clean water.
Some Of the worlds record cows have
drunk as much as 270 pounds day.
Since milk has large percentage Of
water in IL, large quantities Of water
are required TO produce the milk. Not
only that, but high milk production
demands the digestion and assimila-
tion Of a great deal Of nourishment,
and water is needed in large quantities
for these purposes. The best water Is
from springs or deep wells, says w.
A. Barr. o. A. C. and Federal dairy
agent. Ponds receiving drainage are
especially bad, because they contain
disease germs and because the water
Is not relished so that the COW really
drinks all she needs.

GrO,ping CloUer Seed
Maintains Fertility

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-"The raising Of clover seed is
not only much more profitable, ordi-
narily, than growing clover hay, but is
very much better from the fertility
standpoint" This is the answer Of
Professor Scudder, agronomist of the
college, to large number Of farmers
who would like to grow clover seed
but thought that it was awfully hard
on the SOIL"
The inquiries arose over statement
in the Country Gentleman to the effect
that clover hay removes about SS. so
worth Of soil fertility with each ton,
and that clover seed removes but about
35 cents worth. II has often been
pointed out by the Agronomy depart
ment that while the actual value of
the nitrogen phosphorus and potassium
in ton Of clover hay is about Sl0.50,
SS Of this amount is nitrogen which is
half taken from the air, but which is
needed to maintain soil fertility.
When the hay is sold, this value leaves
the field. When fed on the ground, 80
per cent Of il is returned TO the soil.
II the clover seed is taken from a
ton OF clover, but 35 cents worth OF
these plant foods are taken out. II
the straw is then burned the value is
mostly destroyed, but If the straw is
returned to the field and disked in. the
value is retained and humus added tc
the soil.
Therefore proceed with your seet
growing" says Professor Scudder
the more the better. AS long as yot
do not destroy the straw. II is one oi
the best crops you can grow"
