SOME TROUBLES OF TURKEYS
Common Cause of Disease Termed
Chicken Pox Is Overlooking With
Corn-It Coneests Liver.

Turkeys are sometimes infected
with disease which might be termed
chicken pox-a condition in which the
heads become covered with large yell
low sores, which discharge a little
and form scabs, giving the birds a
most unwholesome appearance. writes
l. B. Henderson in Farm, Stock and
Home. This is a form of scrofula,
and it seems to spread from one bird
to another, so that it needs to be
dealt with on definite lines.
We believe a common cause Of this
to be overlooking with corn, which.
in spite of advice to the contrary, still
remains a favorite food for turkeys
with many farmers; but it overheats
the system, and, being of a starchy
nature, tends to congest the liver even
of young stock. The blood in this way
becomes filed with impurities, for the
simple reason that the digestive proc
esses cannot be properly carried out,
and these eruptions, especially If the
birds get inoculated with the COM
plant from some other source, Will
appear and will work untold mischief.
The only way to deal with this is
to separate the birds, battle the sores
as they appear with fairly strong
solution of permanganate of potash.
paint with disinfectant, dose the bird
with epson salts. and keep on a fairly
low diet. Such a treatment will give
the bird a setback so far as fieshing
in concerned, but it is absolutely
necessary to follow out such a treat
ment II the trouble is to be checked

UNLOADING CHUTE FOR STOCK
Device Patented by Illinois Man Is Es-
peciaIly Good for hoes-May Be
Moved Easily.

Handling of live stock, especially
hogs that are ready for market, is oft
times cruel and cause of real finan-
cial loss to the shipper because OF
lack of unloading facilities at the local
stock yards. An Illinois farmer has
patented the unloading chute shown
here. 1t is strong and yet light enough
to be moved freely about so that hogs
may be unloaded from the wagon on to
the level ground Cleats prevent slip
ping of an animal that is coming down
the chute, thus reducing the possible
ties of broken legs and bruises. The
chute may be folded up and carried on

FEEDING WHEAT TO CHICKENS
Exercise Given Hens in Scratching
Out Grain is Conducive to Egg
Laying at All Times.
-CRy II. II. sHEPARp.l

Last year, being short of hay and
having only a small wheat crop, we
cut all our wheat with the mower and
put 1t up for hay, harvesting It a few
days before the regular wheat harvest
ing time.
Our wheat-hay stored in the barn
was fed to the horses from the time IL
was harvested till late in the winter
when it was all used up. Incidentally,
It proved to be one of the best horse
feeds we ever used. But the chickens
had the run OF the barn and lots,
picking up and scratching out all scat
tered wheat.
AS soon as our wheat was In the
barn and its feeding began, the hens
began Immediately to lay more eggs
than usual. They continued to lay
unusually we'll all summer, fall and
through the winter till the wheat-hay
was all fed out and gone. Within less
than a week after this wheat-hay was
gone our hens dropped in their egg
yield noticeably and they did not come
back to heavy yield in spring till we
reluctantly purchased wheat at $1.60
a bushel and began to feed this grain

Then they did come back to their for.
mer high yield.
The hens lay enough more eggs
when fed on wheat to make the wheat
bring even better than war prices for
grain. They seem to do much better,
too, when they are given wheat in the
straw, or bundle, than when given the
pure thrashed grain. 1t seems that
the exercise they get in scratching il
out is conducive to egg laying.

A Strength, Flesh and
Body Builder For
Spring
Run Down, Underweight People Put
on Ten to Twenty Pounds OF
Healthy Flesh.

Most people show tendency TO
lose weight in winter. The fat max
ing material in the foods they eat,
which at other seasons keep fesh
and weight at normal is partially di-
verted In cold weather and instead Is
used to furnish heat for the body
Then most of us acquire coughs, colds
or the grippe which tear down flesh,
lower vitality, cause considerable
loss in weight and leave us In run
down condition in the spring.
Any material loss of weight should
be regarded with alarm and prompt
measures taken to regain the lost
flesh. A splendid body builder and
flesh producer Is found in prepare
ton known as Sargol which can be
found at druggists everywhere and
which seldom fails to give the user
weight increase of from ten to twenty
pounds within a few weeks. Sargol
does not Of itself make flesh. 1t is
small tablet which readily dissolves
in the stomach and, mixing with the
fats, sugars and starches of the food
you eat. prepares these flesh making
materials into a form where the
blood can easily absorb and distribute
them throughout the body. 1t is real
ly samazing how quickly and easily
lost flesh and weight return when
Sargol Is used with your meals. With
normal weight comes too
return of health, sp1r-
it's, ambition and vitality and you
soon feel your old self again. Wilkin-
son & Co. and leading druggists
everywhere sell and recommend Sar-
gol and every package contains
guarantee Of weight increase or
money back.
caution:-While Sargol Is also
widely used for overcoming nervous
dyspepsia and general stomach
troubles its action in increasing
weight is 80 practically certain that
its use is not recommended to those
who are not willing to put on ten or
more pounds of flesh.
