TREAT TURKEY FOR CHOLERA
Isolate Affected Birds in House Re-
mote From Other Poultry Build
ings-Give creolin.

The word is used to cover num-
ber of intestinal disorders, but chol-
era is contagious germ. disease and
is practically incurable. Place al
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 it
family milky. Give the birds a one
thousandth Of a grain tablet Of cor
rosive sublimate every three hours.
Feed sparingly on soft easily digested
food. All badly affected birds should
be killed by 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 dn-
fected birds. Spray the runs and all
parts Of the building with creolin or
sulpho-napthol solution, one table
spoonful to two gallons Of water. The
runs should also be plowed frequently.

FEEDING MILK TO CHICKENS
According to Nebraska Experiment
Station Practice Will Double
Production Of Eggs.

The use Of milk in feeding chickens
will double egg production, according
to the poultry section of the Nebraska
experiment station at Lincoln. "The
hen never lays an egg until all the in
gradients necessary for the complete
development Of 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 q
drink, or in the form Of wet mash, will
double egg yields. Commercial meat
scrap is Of equal value, and may be
substituted when milk cannot be OBJ
tained."

DeImonico Cream Roll Potatoes.

Here are two Delmonico potato
recipes: Pare potatoes and cut them
into bits the size Of a pea. Keep them
in cold water until all are ready. For
each Scant pint Of potatoes make q
pint Of white sauce, seasoning with
onion juice or celery salt. Stir the po-
tatces into the hot sauce, turn into
wei-burtered agate sauce pan and cook
in the oven until the potatoes are ten
der and the sauce is absorbed, with
the exception of just enough to hold
the bits of potatoes together. Fold one
part over the other as an omelet and
turn onto hot dish. The potatoes
should not brown above or below. If
necessary, set them on the crate and
cover the pan.

OYSTER SHELL is VALUABLE
1t is Not Fed to Poultry for Purpose Of
Supplying Grit, but as Material
for Egg Shell.

Oyster shell is fed to chickens for
the production Of egg shells and not
for grit as some persons think, ac-
cording to R. NJ. Sherwood, acting head
Of the department of poultry hus-
bandry in the Kansas State Agricul.
tural college.
Approximately 80 per cent Of the
oyster shell fed laying hens is con-
verted into egg shell, which has a
chemical composition almost identical
with that Of the original shell. Clam
shells and lime, although Of practically
the same composition, are not as up
petizing to the chickens and so are not
as valuable as the oyster shells.

TO Clean Sill YER
GOVERNMENT EXPERTS TELL OF
BEST METHODS.
Directions for Preparing Cleansing
Material That Has Much Virtue
Must Be Applied With Care
and Thoroughness.

For the benefit of those who have
the care of silver, the office of home
economics at Washington has made
thorough study of the electrolytc
method of cleaning and has published
the results of their work in United
States Department Of Agriculture Bul-
letin No. 40.
after discussing several types of
commercial cleaners and giving the re-
suits of various analyses, they suggest
the following method as being cheap
and satisfactory:
An enamel or agateware dish
should be partly filled with cleaning
solution of one teaspoonful of either
washing or baking soda and one tea
spoonful of common table salt to each
quart Of water and placed directly
on the stove to boil. A sheet Of alumni
nun or clean zinc should then be
dropped into the dish and tarnished
silver placed ia contact with the metal.
1t is best that the silver be entirely
covered with the cleaning solution and
that the solution remain at the boiling
temperature. AS soon as the tarnish
has been removed the silver should be
removed, rinsed in clean water, and
wiped with a soft cloth. Zinc may be
used in place of aluminium, but it be-
comes corroded and inactive in much
shorter time"
The electrolytic method cleans plated
or sterling silverware without loss Of
metal, giving, however, satin finish
rather than FURNISHED appearance,
and has the additional advantages Of
being both clean and labor-saving.-
