TREAT TURKEY FOR CHOLERA
Isolate Affected Birds in House Re-
mote From Other Poultry Build
inos-GiVe Creoiin.

The word is used TO cover a num-
Der of intestinal disorders, but chol-
era is a contagious germ disease and
is practically incurabIe. Place ali
birds which show any symptoms of
the disease in a house remote from
other poultry buildings and one which
can be easily and thoroughly disin-
fected. Give the birds few drops of
creOlin or sulphO-napthOl in their
drinking water, just enough to turn 1t
family milky. Give the birds a one
thOusandth of a grain tablet of cor
rosive subIimate every three hours.
Feed sparingly on soft easily digested
food. All badly affected birds should
be killed by a blow, on the head with
out drawing blood and then burned.
Rake up and burn all litter used in
the house and runs occupied by in
fected birds. Spray the runs and all
parts of the building with a creolin or
sulphO-napthOl solution, one table
spoonful TO two gallons of water. The
runs should also be plowed frequently.

GOOD ROAD WORK IN WINTER
Maintenance of Dirt Roads Is Prob
lem Confronting Farmer-Mak-
ing SPIit-Ieq DRAG.

One of the problems confronting the
farmer is the question of maintenance
OF dirt roads Not only should dirt
roads be maintained during the spring
and summer months, but the winter
months as well especially is this true
where there is not an overabundance
Of snow, which conditions exist with
many OF our readers.
The King road drag may be used
with much benefit during the winter
months, just after thaws or rains.
Good work can be done at this time
of the year because the soil is crum-
bly, or mealy and pushes easily toward
the center Of the road.
If the road has been properly cared
for during the summer and fall, it viii
be only a slight task to drag it dur
ing the winter when conditions are
right At that season OF the year there
is little for the work team to do and
in early spring the roads will be in
shape to turn water and permit of
early drying. In fact, the winter
dragged roads will be dry and hard in
the spring when neglected roads viii
be soft, rutty and springy. There is
no best time to drag roads. Go after
the work and then drag whenever you
can during the winter; then your
roads will be in good shape next
spring. Make a split-log road drag
and keep it going on the highway.
D. Ward King, the inventor of the
drag, gives the following directions
for making a split-log drag: Take
the two halves of a split log, ten or
twelve inches thick and seven to nine
feet long. Set the halves nat sides
to the front, fasten so inches apart
with strong stakes, the ends OF which
are Wedged in two-inch auger holes,
bored through the slabs. Put a solid
plank platform an the stakes for the
driver to stand on. The hitch is made
of strong wire or chain, the long end
fastened TO stake over the top OF the
front slab, the short end should be put
through hole made in center of the
slab and near the end to prevent the
back slab fitting forward. Face four
or five feet of the ditch end OF the
front slab with iron. An old wagon
tire, worn share OF road grader, or
any piece Of fiat steel will answer for
this purpose.
As a general rule, always haul the
drag at an angle of 45 degrees, NOV
ing the dirt to the center Of the road.

SELF-FEEDERS BEST
FOR FATTENING PIGS
Gains May Be Put on Animals
Rapidly and Economically,
Says Missouri Expert.

(By L A WEAVER Missouri College OF
Agriculture)
The Missouri agricultural expert
ment station has demonstrated the fact
that gains may be put on fattening hogs
rapidly and economically by the use
OF self-feeders-
Shoats weighing 121 pounds at the
beginning of a 6O-day feeding period
gained 1.T9 pounds head daily, weigh
ing 22S.9 pounds at the close of the
feeding trial During this time they
were supplied with corn, shorts, and
tankage, each of these feeds being
placed in a separate self-feeder and the
shoats allowed to eat as much of each
as they wished. When so fed they
seemed to balance their ration about
as well as could be done by hand feed
ing. The proportion in which the feeds
were eaten are: Corn, 2a66 pounds !;
shorts, 3.93 pounds; and tankage. L
pound The average daily feed con-
sumed per hog was S.1S5 pounds The
amount OF feed required for each
pound Of gain produced was ASS
pounds.
With corn worth IS cents a bushel,
shorts $1.35 per hundred and tankage
$3.50 per hundred it cost $5-6S to
produce 100 pounds OF pork.

comparatively short. but in man it
may cause serious difficulty and may
necessitate one of more operations.
In addition to ailments to which the
dog itself is subject, it may also be a
carrier OF diseases to which it is not
susceptible. This was fully demon
strated during the recent outbreak OF
foot-and-mouth disease, when it was
determined beyond a doubt that dogs
were responsible in some instances for
the spread Of the disease.
Nor are these the only counts
against the dog. Every section which
is devoted wholly or in part to the
raising of sheep will furnish more evil
dence in the case. The well-trained,
properly controlled dog is a valuable

COOKING FEEDS FOR
SWINE NOT FAVORED
Experiment Stations Have Found
Actual Loss in Practice, Says
Kansas Expert.

Cooking feed for swine generally is
not an advisable practice, points out
Ray Gatewood, instructor in animal
husbandry in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
"Much experimenting has been done
along this line" said Mr.. Gatewood,
"and practically all experiment sta
tons have found an actual loss en-
countered by cooking feeds.
with most feeds, cooking tends to
lower the digestibility, resulting in q
larger amount of feed being required
to produce given amount Of
gain. This raises the expense of pro-
duction and cuts down the producers
profits.
''Some feeds used in certain locali-
ties-such as potatoes, field peas, and
roots-have their palatability improved
and their water content lowered
by cooking, which results in a
larger consumption. These, how
ever, are not common feeds In Kan
sas. Cooking requires special ap-
paratus and of course takes time and
labor, all adding to the expense of pro-
duction.
1T may be profitable to heat drink
ing water and water in which feeds
are mixed in cold weather, as
this Will decrease the amount of feed
required to maintain the body temper

TO the poultry section of the Nebraska
experiment station at Lincoln. 1.-THE
hen never lays an egg until all the in
gradients necessary for the complete
development Of a chick are present"
the station announced.
''Since the egg contains protein as
well as carbohydrates. any amount OF
carbohydrates fed in the form OF grain
will not offset the necessity OF protein.
Milk given to the birds. either as a
drink, or in the form of wet mash, will
double egg yields. Commercial meat

I. Don't fail to provide regular ex-
ercise for the mare heavy with foal.
If there is no regular work, a run in
a lot for several hours daily makes a
good substitute.
2. Don't require the mare heavy with
foal to do such work as requires short
turning, especially in plowed ground,
deep mud, or snow.
8. Don't require the mare heavy with
foal to travel on slippery roads unless
she is well shod.
4. Don't neglect to feed the brood
mare well. She must eat not only for
her own maintenance, but for the de
velopment OF her foal also
5. Don't feed the brood mare hay

got. Such precaution may prevent
trouble that fails to yield to medicinal

DOG IS TERMED A NUISANCE AND MENACE
G'rom the United States Departm
Agricultural

From the United States Department Of
AgricuIture)
It has been almost universally con-
ceded that the dog is friend to man,
but Bulletin 260 qualities that state
ment somewhat. According to the pub
LEGATION the dog is a true friend to
man only when properly controlled and
cared for.
For at least half a century scien-
lists have been insisting that the dog
is responsible to quite an extent for
the spread of many parasites and dis
eases to which stock and even man
are susceptible. It is a matter OF COM
mon knowledge that dogs are subject
to rabies or hydrophobia and that
they in turn may transmit it to other
animals and to persons. Some of the
other diseases and parasites they may
transmit are hydatid, which occurs
both in man and stock; gid, principal
~ confined to sheep; cysticercus, or
measles, in sheep; tapeworm, round
worm, tongue worm, feas, and ticks.

z. Don't bed the brood mares stall
excessively. Too much bedding may
cause her to struggle when trying TO

8. Don't confine the brood mare in a
stall that offers a place for her head
or legs to get caught, and cause her
to struggle.
9. Don't neglect to disinfect the foal-
ing stall thoroughly a few days before
the foa1 is expected, using seven table
spoonfuls OF compound cresol solution
per gallon Of water. Neglect OF this
may cost the fOars life.
10. Don't give the mare heavy with

the attending veterinarian.
IL. Don't give the mare heavy with

foal is too valuable to risk such treat

rian.
