Farm.

ganism by thorough examination OF
all new stock whether turkeys, fowls,
geese or other domestic birds.
2. Keep the turkeys on grounds
which are as fresh as can be OBJ
tanned and, above all, keep them iso-
lated from fowls and other domestic
birds.
3. Keep every turkey In the flock
Nender close observation in order to
separate and at once isolate any bird
which gives evidence Of the disease.
To facilitate such observations 1t Is
helpful to leg-band each individual and
to record its weight from time to time.
4. II it is known that blackhead is
present in any Of the poultry, that
yard and house should be kept free
from sparrows, rats and mice, which
are carriers Of the organism which
causes the disease.
5. In fattenirg turkeys for the mar
ket, increase the rations gradually.
Overfeeding or sudden increase IN
the ration will not cause blackhead,
but frequently causes death of birds
In which blackhead is present.
6. The bodies Of all birds which
have died Of blackhead should be
burned or buried Immediately.
On most farms, it is out of the
question to put into practice all Of
these recommendations, especially
those in regard to the isolation of
the flock. The general practice Is to
allow the turkeys to mingle with the
other fowls. Unless these recommen-
dations can be rather closely fol-
lowed, however, it Is not advisable
to attempt to raise turkeys after the
disease has once made its appear
ance. The turkeys in your flock
which do not appear to be infected
may become chronic carriers of the
disease. If it Is necessary for you
to rear turkeys next season on ground
which has been occupied by fowls or
by diseased turkeys, you are very like
ly to experience the same trouble.

waterproofins French Uniforms.


In the rainy season, which lasts well
into the summer in parts Of France
and Belgium, the French army author
tiles faced the necessity Of providing
an inexpensive and effective means of
waterproofing the uniforms Of their
soldiers. A chemist came to their
rescue with the information that the
fat extracted from wool while in the
process Of cleaning it for manufacture
would serve their purpose.
Experiments proved that the chem
ist was right. The waterproofing Is
done by reducing the wool fat to a
liquid by the use Of a solvent and d.
luting it with benzine or naphtha.
The garment Is soaked in this solution
for few minutes. It dries in short
time. Neither the color of the article
nor the fabric is impaired by the treat
ment.

sleek and fat, so fat indeed that they
appear from their house like a pair

are fat and romp about in lively style
when the cold morning sun first makes
his golden appearance each day. The

delight in watching them as they
frolic in the dry leaves or chase each
other from tree to tree. They still
enjoy the daily swim in the river,

The course includes work in the Sc

planning and sanitation, home nursing,
frce-hand drawing, home decoration

and practical work in garment max

domestic science study many splendid

Plans Now Working
This opportunity for girls to earn
their way through college has been
made possible by the Agricultural Col
lege Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation, who have found many homes
near the college grounds where girls
may earn their board and room. Many
girls at the present time are at work
such as this and attending college.
The work they do includes the care of
children and homework averaging in
all about four hours work day.
Some girls who prefer to work only a
few hours day or at odd times are
able to do so at the rate Of about 20
cents per hour.
This work is directly under the
charge of Miss Rose Meth, secretary
of the Y. w. C. A. and all inquiries re-
garding this method of earning ones
way through college should be direct
ed to her.
