Checking Epidemic
of White Diarrhea

EXTENSIVE Investigations recently
l. conducted by the o. A. G. de-
partment Of bacteriology have dis
closed the fact that where 65 per
cent of chicks suffered mortality
from white diarrhea, approximately
65 per cent of the hens of the flock
were infected with the disease germs.
OF $50 hens killed and examined, 9S
of them were found to be infected,
having diseased ovaries. While it
was impossible to examine all of the
chicks that died, an examination of
large numbers was made and from the
dead chicks and causative agent of the
disease, germ known as Bacillus
PullOrum, was isolated.
Many of the hens from which these
chicks were bred had been examined
previous to their slaughter by the
brood test which gave evidence of
their having ovarian infection with
white diarrhea germs in the unde-
veloped ova or eggs, Not all the
hens slaughtered had been given this
blood test for the reason that it was
thought best to clean up the old stock
by killing most of the older birds.
These birds were later used for
market since the germs of the dis
ease are not harmful to humans and
do not injure the birds for edible
purposes.
The flock upon which this investi-
CATION was conducted was that of the
State Insane Asylum at Salem. This
plant is under the supervision OF c..
N. Wilcox, former 0. A. c. gradu-
ate, who realized that in order to
run the plant successfully and make
it pay from a business standpoint 1t
was necessary to save the chicks and
also get at and remove the cause of
the trouble. This view was endorsed
by DR.. r. E. l.. Steiner, head of the
State Institution, under whose
courtesy the investigation was made.
These findings seem to indicate
that where white diarrhea becomes
a serious epidemic in flock the
most sure and profitable way of
eradicating is to kill off the breeding
birds from which the germs are
transmitted, and at the same time
make an effective and thorough clean
ing up of all grounds, buildings and
equipment.

NSptCldl.D
County Agriculturist H. r. Glais-
yer reports the first issue of the
klamath County Monthly Farmers
Exchange List as having met with
the general approval of the farmers
and business men alike. Twelve
hundred copies were printed and
mailed to all farmers and business
men of the county. In less than two
weeks three-fourths of all the items
listed were sold or exchanged.
Mr.. Glaisyer also reports wide
spread interest in regard to cooper
ative field tests with different crops
for 1915. Many farmers have called
at his office in this connection with
out previous personal solicitation.
Interest is being shown especially In
regard to drying our alfalfa and field
peas in rows under dry conditions, a
good start along this line having been
made last season under the direction
of NJ. A. Mccall, former County Agri-
culturist,

Need of a Few Good
Sheep on Every Farm

Especially
R. FARMER, why not increase
~ your profits by running few
sheep on your farm?
That sheep can be made the most
profitable of all farm animals on the
place, with proper management, is
the conclusion of Professor o. M.
Nelson, instructor in sheep husbandry
at the Oregon Agricultural College.
When prices for wool are good
rightly managed breeding eve will
pay for her maintenance during the
year with her fleece, and in addition
will raise, one, two, or perhaps three
lambs, which are net profit to the
owner.
On an average, sheep produce
pound of gain with less feed than do
other classes of livestock. This fact
together with the increasing demand
for good mutton and the prices that
can be obtained for it make sheep
husbandry pay well indeed.
The manure as fertilizer is
worth more than any other except
that of poultry. In this connection
it has been found that there is but
very little impoverishment, of land
upon which sheep run. They return
to it in the form of excrement almost
all that is taken from it in feed.
The establishment of a small band
does not require large outlay of
capital in comparison with that for
other stock, since there is no need for
expensive buildings to furnish proper
sheltering and housing. And the
business fits in well with other
phases of farmings-W. A. Luxton.

Farm Institutes Prove
Stimuli to Field Work
(Snecial.)

Especially
n B. COGLON, County Agriculturist
H. for Lane County, states that as
the result of the Farmers Institutes
or short courses in agriculture held
in that county January to 8, he has
received many calls from farmers
seeking information, especially in re-
gard to good cows, pure bred sires,
and drainage problems. The at
tendance in most cases, while not ex-
ceedingly large, was for the most part
composed of farmers and their wives
who attended regularly all sessions
of the Institutes. Meetings were
held at Junction City, Creswell, Cot
tage Grove, Willakenzie Grange Hall
and at Eugene. The total attendance
was over 1400. In addition to the
lectures and demonstrations for farm
ers, other sessions were given by the
domestic science department of the
College. Several farmers have asked
information as to where they could
procure pure bred Jersey cattle, pure
bred hogs, and gOOn seed corn.
The question of soil acidity in Lane
County has caused considerable activ-
ity in the application of various forms
of lime. The majority of the farm
ers evidently are of the impression
that in order to raise normal crops
on acid soils it is necessary only to
apply lime. During the Farmers In
stitutes special attention was given
to this matter and an attempt was
made to impress upon the farmers
the necessity Of good drainage in
order to secure the maximum benefit
from applications Of lime. The dis
cussions of this matter had the i'm
mediate effect Of number Of re-
quests for personal visits and making
of drainage plans for the installation
Of systems at an early date.

Short Course Succeeds.

N1pttIdl,D
The Agricultural Short Course
given in Marion County during the
week December 28-January 2, by the
Extension staff Of the Oregon Agri-
cultural College and the County
Agriculturist, L. J. Chaplin, was very
successful. Meetings were held at
Aurora, Silverton, Woodburn, Glover
dale and Salem, lasting from one to
three days at each place. A total
of 1864 persons attended the meet
ings. Eight persons from the Oregon
Agricultural College took part In the
work in addition to Mr.. Chaplin.
The largest attendance was at
Woodburn where as many as 1876
persons attended single session.
Mr.. Chaplin states he received enough
invitations to make personal visits to
farms to keep him busy all Summer.
Most of the requests were for help
along the lines Of efficient farm man
agement, cropping systems, and bet
ter livestock.

Pasture In Pork Production.

"To make pork production most
profitable in all its phases Oregon
growers should provide pasture for
hogs wherever possible" says r. E.
Reynolds, extension livestock man of
the Agricultural College. Fresh pas
ture has beneficial effect on the
health OF the hog besides affording
valuable nutrients for the ration.
While grazing, the pigs obtain consid-
cradle exercise, which is essential to
economical gains, especially in young
pigs. 1t has been proved that cheap
er gains can be made in pasture
than in a dry lot. Likewise soil fer
tility is maintained more steadily,
since the manure, which is rich in fer
tilizing elements, is evenly distributed
on the lands pastured."

Lactic Acid Organism
Check to Putrefaction

Especially
THE Tactic acid producing organ
! isms, bulgarian bacterial,
found in Yohourth and Kefer, fer
mented milk drinks, are able to es-
tablish themselves in the intestinal
tract and produce enough acid to
hold in check the putrefactive pro-
cesses which otherwise exist there,
says Professor Beckwith, of the Ore
gon Agricultural College.
Yohourth has been used by the
Bulgarian tribes for a long time. 1t
is made by the Bulgarians in skin
bags. At least two species. of bacilli
are present and one yeast capable
of producing Tactic acid in very large
amounts. This Bulgarian Tactic Or
ganism is very hard to obtain in pure
cultures because it grows with diff
Guilty on ordinary laboratory media.
These organisms produce much
higher percentage of acid than the
common Tactic acid bacteria and
grows also at a much higher temper
ature.
1t is possible to secure this acid in
practically pure culture by growing
it, in milk at high temperature.
When the Bulgarian bacteria are
grown in pure culture they will pro-
duce from l to per cent of acidity
1t grows well at temperatures be-
tween 81 degrees and 40 degrees.
Very recently number of fermented
milks have been put upon the market
which evidently have been derived
from Yohourth. The flora Of these
preparations appear to be the same
as that of the original Yohourth. All
of these. milks are recommended by
physicians because of their effect
upon the digestive system
Quite recently there has been de-
veloped a very important industry
in the manufacture of artificial but
termilk. This is made usually by
adding a culture of Bulgarian Tactic
acid bacteria to skim milk. Yeasts
are commonly added in the manu-
facture of artificial buttermilk. The
skim milk is often pasteurized in or
der to get rid of the miscellaneous
flora which it contains. This product
contains nearly pure culture OF the
lactic organisms. s.-Earl Fraley.

Union County Doings.


That the people Of Union County
are very much alive on subjects
related to better farming is very evil
dent from recent reports. Very we'll
attended meetings are held at two
or three points each week by County
Agriculturist Claude G. Cate.
Many invitations are given him to
return and talk on other subjects.
The people in the Mt. Glen district
especially are very anxious to CO.
operate in several lines of work
The students in the high school show
much interest and asked for practical
talks on potato diseases. Mr.. Cate
is making arrangements for a colt
show at Imbler and dairy demonstra-
tions or judging demonstrations at
Cove.
The professor of science at the La
Grande High School has promised to
make a mechanical analysis of the
various types of soils of the county,
which will be Of value both to the
farmers and to the students who help
do the work. The Science Depart
ment will also cooperate in making
collection of local economic needs
and in determining the best methods
for their eradication.

Tillamo0k Has Best Car Stock.

tSpeclal.1
Tillamook papers are authority
for the statement that the carload
of stock purchased by the Tillamook-
ers at the Pacific International Live
stock Show in Portland was the best
carload ever brought into the county.
All the bulls had an average record
by nearest dams of over 80 pounds
of butter-fat each. Out of 1872 head
on sale, Tillamook people purchased
25, consisting Of five bulls and 20
heifers, all Holsteins. The total cost
was $6130.
Great credit is due the persons
who made these purchases for their
enterprise In bringing more good
stock to the county, and to the
County Agriculturist, Mr.. Jones, in
working up the proposition and as
sistance In selecting the animals.

Soils for Orchard Fruit.

Pears succeed on soils heavier
than that on which any other fruit
grows with success" says Professor
c. I. Lewis, horticulturist at o. A. c.
Apples do well on a wide range Of
soils, reaching from the clay loans on
the one hand to silt loans and sandy
soils on the other. Prunes seem to
do well on any soil that Is we'll
drained, and red hill lands have in
certain sections been well utilized In
prune production. Peaches require
either silt loan or very well drained
clay loan, although they succeed well
on we'll watered sandy loans. Cher
ries flourish on the lighter clay
loans Nuts may be profitably grown
on any soil that is deep and well
drained"

THE Beers TO FIGHT IN FRANCE

Having checked rebellion in their own race; having pressed through
waterless wastes, taken stout forts and beaten the kaisers troop plant
ed their borders ready for war; having added to the empire a land
as vast Is Germany and the United Kingdom combined, General boha
and the Beers it is said, will set out for the fighting line in France
says the New York World.
Whether o. not they offer this supreme sacrifice, what they h2ve
done is amazing. In 1900 they taxed the power OF England to
them ard called out for that purpose forces greater than have yet fought
for King George. They drew the worldwide sympathy expressed IN
Queen Wnhclmina's reception CT Boer delegates, the khsers telegram
to Kruger, and planks in the Republican and Democratic platforms in
this country.
Less than twelve years after peace a made, a new issue came
which for the Beers IA simply: Should the Cape conquer German
Southwest Africa or be annexed to it? If, with their history, they pre-
ferred o remain British subjects it wa because Great Brtaln-or a
party there-have learned some lessons OF political freedom.
They learned from us. Englands ablest and noblest men favored
the American revelation when that meant business, social and political
ostacsm. They learned from Canada when, after Papneaus rebellion,
the report that meant Canadian freedom earned tor Lord Durham The
abuse OF silly lordings. They learned from the Beers when the Lib
erals braved Tcry cries of traitor to pofer South Africa local eli
government.
If the Canadians are the flower of the British troops a Ypres, if
Australians and New Zea1anders helped clear the sea OF Germans and
it it because the British Liberals have had the vision, and at times the
power, to trust III the rule of the people.
