Liver trouble" and spotted livers,"
Spotted cholera" and turkey chol-
era" are some of the names given in
different localities to the diseases now
known generally as the blackhead,
which is virtually wiping out the tur-
key flocks in many parts of the coun-
try where these birds were once a
staple product.
have dealt with this disease since
1898 and so far have found no drug
or combination of drugs that seems
to be worth relying upon, says an Ar
kansas writer in Farm Progress. In
my opinion preventive measures are
the only things that the turkey grow
er and the fancier of these birds can
place any great dependence upon.
Investigators who have studied this
form of disease for years are certain
that 1t is spread by the scattering of
a minute parasite akin to the very
lowest group of animal life. Like
the negri bodies found in hydropho-
bia and organisms that spread mala-
ria, these parasites are extremely

of blackhead is called "cocidium" and
is closely allied with the seeds Of by.
drophobia.
The methods of prevention are, in
brief:
First of all buy no new birds, no
importations no turks or old fowls
from close at hand or from any other
section, without carefully examining
them for traces of the disease, and
then placing them in quarantine
away from the other birds for several
days. AS it may be carried by other
domestic fowls, it will be best to ex-
anime all ducks, hens, geese and
guinea fowls brought to the place be-
fore letting them run at large.
When a bird dies of blackhead
burn the body at once. Burying them
is bad practice, as rats. dogs or 9TH
er animals may dig them up and

There are three characteristic symp-

Dtarrhea is always present at some
stage of the disease. Then, too, the
observer will note a sort of sleep
mess or half coma that makes the
bird listless and causes it to stay
apart from the flock. Then follows
the emaciation, the "lightness" that
is always commented upon by the in

posed Of early on that account.
The New England varieties are the
best keepers. They are pulled when
the tops fall over and lie in the sun
during the day, but they are stored
before night in a hot loft for curing
with the tops left on.
When perfectly cured they are
stored in cold, dark place with the
dry tops still on, as they lie more
loosely in this way and do not sprout
so readily as when the tops are cut
off.
In the cultivation of garden crops it
always pays best to manure and fer
tilize heavily and plant in close rows
and work with hand implements. OF
course, in the large trucking opera
tions the crops like early potatoes,
cabbages and peas are grown wide
enough apart to use horses in the cul-
tivation.
frequently have letters from peo-
pie saying that they have been manur-
ing their gardens for years till the soil
is so rich that potatoes make immense
tops and no tubers. This is not be-
cause the soil is too rich, but because
the plant food in 1t is one-sided.
The annual application OF stable ma
nure only has put an excess of nj
trogen into the soil and in order to
make tubers on the potatoes there
must be an abundance of phosphoric
acid and potash, for the presence of
potash in due amount is necessary to
the formation of starch to points
where growth is being made or it is
being stored in the tubers.

CLEAN EGGS FOR INCUBATOR
If soiled When Gathered, They Should
Be Carefully Washed In Tepld
Water and Then Dried,

Eggs for Matching should be clean.
If they are not clean when gathered,
they should be washed in tepid water
and carefully dried with soft, clean
cloth. This must be done carefully
and quickly and without any jar.
When they are clean it is good prac-
tice to stand them, big end up, in a
cool and quiet place for 12 hours. This
keeps the yolk in the center. All of
which means that the egg has as much
to do with the result of incubation as
has the incubator, and until all these
details have been carefully looked af-
ter, one may not lay the blame on the
incubator for failing to hatch the egg.
