Nov The Orchard This Season.

MOM inns NNbNRhs
II the hot days of August find you
with an orchard that has not been
cultivated during the summer and
with the weeds so large that il can
not be piowed so as to cover up the
weeds without blowing extra deep,
the right thing to do is not to pillow
at all. but to run your moving ma
chine through the orchard and NOW
the weeds. Flowing the orchard af-
ter dry. hot weather sets in disturbs
many Of the feeding roots and cuts
them OFF at a time when there is
not enough moisture in the soil to
permit their reestablshing them
selves. This causes the trees to suf-
fer worse from the drouth than IL
the orchard hadn't been plowed. The
moving of the weeds stops them from
robbing the soil of it's moisture and
their shading the ground stops evap-
Grafton from the earth.
There are a lot of folks who after
dry weather commences remember
Nhat somebody said good, clean. lev
ell cultivation is the thing needed
and get at 1t entirely too late in the
season for 1t to be of any benefit.
Deep summer blowing with a turning
!. pillow in the pinch of dry spell does
sinjury and not good.

LINIBERNECK IN POULTRY

After -Four Years Of Discomaging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave

Came to Rescue.

Cairon, KY m an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bette Bullock
writes as follows: 81 suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, | could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere al
all. At times, I would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me for a while, but was
soon confined TO my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.

gestive tract TO rid II of any poison
Gus matter yet unassimilated. II
the fowl is not in total collapse, the
best practical treatment, out of a
number of things tried, seems to be
dose of one-half teaspoonful cas-
tor oil. followed with a few drops of
turpentine on dampened meal. These
doses must be given forcibly, as the
throat muscles seem paralyzed. The
most effectual treatment is the AK,
with safe disposal of the body.
The first transgression of fowls eat
ing tainted flesh is unusually dictat-
ed by lack in their diet, the same
instinct that causes hens to eat eggs.
l am inclined to think that later II
becomes an obsession with them,
much as the feather-eating habit of
which we sometimes hear. Poultry

milk, beef scrap, etc. In the days
of flocks, fowls secured sufficient for
themselves; the modern habit of
concentration of large numbers with
in small limits imposes the necessi-
ty of catering scrupulously to the
fundamental needs of poultry. Neg
lect will certainly claim its toll.
The Ounce of Prevention.
Many fowls on small premises,
either penned or at liberty, are en-
dangered. A large range, allowing
fowls Ito supply themselves natural
ly in their rowing, acts as a preven-
tive. In any event, it behooves the
poultry keeper, whether the poultry
yard be up to date or merely adjunc-
tive to the farm, to dispose safely of
all dead fowls, small or large. This
applies to all decomposing matter.
A dead baby chick can start the ball
a-rolling. Burning is better than
burying. Sanitation and the health
of the fowls demand this care. If
precaution be strictly observed, linn
berneck, at least, will not vex the
poultry keepers soul.

for infection. Especially on farms
where poultry runs at large is it diff
ficult at all times to find these car
casses which may be the result of &C
cident. The warmer the air the
quicker the decay. Energetic fowls
in their search for food discover them
TO their own disaster. Sometimes the
first cause may be due to the poultry
raiser's own carelessness. After the
disease appears, victims lying in re-
mote or hidden spots provide new in
lection, setting up an endless chain
whose operation can only be checked
by vigorous, thorough search on tho
part Of the owner.
Manifestations of It's Work.
Occasionally there is great havoc
from disease on duck farms. 1t is
usually limberneck, to which they
are especially prone. Ducks con-
fined in large numbers on limited
space crave the animal food demand
ed by their nature. If their ration
lacks this important feature of their
diet, they will supply it at the first
opportunity. Voracity and a ten
dency to scavengering prove their un-
doing. Unless every dead duck is
found before it's body becomes a
temptation to the survivors, the dis
ease is rampant.
A successful turkey raiser of some
years ago used to relate an expert
ence bearing on this subject. Her
turkeys, over a hundred in number,
and about 2h months old, came
home one day at nightfall, staggering
and choking. That night many
died. Others followed in the next
succeeding days. Being person of
energy not to be faxed by a disagree
able duty. she performed a post-mor-
TEN to discover the mysterious all
ment that had robbed her of her sea-
sons work. In the turkey crops she
found numbers of long, ugly black
beetles. Pursuing her investigation
further, she walked to the lower field,
the goal of their daily routine. Here
on the edge of marsh lay the poor
ly hurled carcass of q calf, swarm
ing with the black beetles. The
farmhand's carelessness had played
havoc with her flock, and she had
learned a valuable. but dearly bought
lesson.
A raiser of guineas opened the
door of their house one dry, hot Au-
gust morning. No eager, fiuttering,
hungry young croCtures welcomed
her. Thirty of the hundred with
one of the fostermothers lay PROSTATE
on the floor or roosts, head dangling,
necks limp, wings spread. She knew
the trouble. An investigation be-
gan. In the extreme end of the or
chard a dead goose buried in the
dusty soil week before, had been
disinterred by stray dogs. In their
craving for the carnivorous. the gum

Sometimes fowls recover. Nine
tenths die. Only one of the guineas
survived, reaching a stunted maturi-
ty. There is little satisfaction in

peatedly in one season, yet il neither

"Limberneck," properly speaking.
is a species of ptomaine poisoning in
fowls. 1t seems to be a menace more
common to the poultry-yard of today
than of the past. Chickens, turkeys,
guineas, or ducks may succumb, with
The last two more susceptible. This
ratio is attributed to the more devel-
oped carnivorous needs of the latter
fowls. Appetite dictates a craving,
and in the endeavor to satisfy it, they
fall victims. When the required
supply OF insect food fails. the fowls
fall upon the substitute next at hand,
whence all the mischief.
"Limberneck" is distinctly a warm
weather disease. 1t never appears
in cold weather. Sometimes It claims

Ed Wagner, atractor engineer
met with a serious accident last
Thursday. He had been plow.
ing on the farm of John Wehrle,
six miles north of Meade. At a
few minutes before seven o'clock
he stopped his tractor for the
night, and while adjusting some
part of the machinery, the sleeve
of his jumper in some manner
became entangled in the fly
wheel. He was thrown to the
ground, and rendered uncon-
scious, an ugly cash cut in his
head, and his arm baby bruised.
Upon regaining consciousness,
injured as he was, he got on his
motor cycle and went to the
home of Ed. Shaw, a mile away.
Medical aid was at once SUM
moned, and at this time be is up
and about.
