CHICKEN FOX
Common Among. PouItry-Hcw te
 Treat 1t.

Chicken pex is disease which is quite common in this section and sev- eral noted poultry breeders have re- gently ssn', stated ed that that they had lost from this disease, of which very little Is known at the present time. Some writers.-Solor1on of the Maine Sta tion and Dr. -Kaupp.-have given the symptoms No of this trouble, but as far l as the writer is aware, the true cause of the disease is unknown. It has been proven, however, to be contagious
 and when the head of an infected bird is rubbed upon another normal head the chicken poX sores can be reproduc- ed after a few days. The disease comes on during damp weather and in advanced cases the sores completely them from seeing. and consequently
 they are unable to- eat OF drink.
 The disease is characterized by
 small nodules varying in size on the
 dulles are as large as peas. In ad-
 vonced cases the whole head and ad-
 Juncts may become one mass of sores.
 Sometimes roup is accompanied by
 this trouble, vice versa.
 If only few birds are affected with this disease the first caution thah should be taken is that of sanitation. The poultry house or houses should be completely cleaned and disinfected with some good germicide. If the birds affected are not high priced birds it is better to kill them than to take the trovble of trying a treatment If, however the bird or birds are valuable treatment should be tried. No birds should be sold from the flock. CleaA- ing of the ears is important. The sores on the head Of the affected bird or birds should first be removed of all scabs and bathed in a strong anti septic. applying isdine. kerosene, or cArbolic acid. If carbolic s acid is
 used care must be taken that the acid does not run on the uninfected parts The su$ $>ho- carboIates seem to give the best result. Recently it has been sug- gested that Calcium Sulphide when given in one grain capsules seem to prevent the other birds from catching the disease and also seems to help in curing the birds already infected Carholatcd vaselire has been found to be very good salve to rub upon the sores. Certain vaccines have been use. some of which have given excel Ter. results.

pounds were applied by broadcasting.
 The result of this experiment conduct ed for three years was as follows: The average when the entire amount was put in the planter was 12S barrels; when 1000 pounds in the planter and 800 pounds when up. 122 barrels; when 1000 pounds broadcast and 500 when up, 121 barrels; when the 1,5oo pounds was applied broadcast they received 122 barrels From these results it seems quite clear that as good if not better yields can be ob- tained by applying all the fertilizer in the planted. It seems that at least up to 1900 pounds per acre nothing is to be gained either by broadcastine before planting or applying part at the first cultivation.

importance of First Class Stock as Foundation for Dairy Operations.

The importance Of high producing cows as a factor in profitable dairy
 ing is brought out in the report of the dairy survey conducted by the De- partment of Dairy Husbandry of the Connecticut Agricultural College. Rec ords were taken on IFS herds selected at random as representative of dairy conditions in this state. The records of the IFS herds were arranged in five groups. Group one includes herds avera ging 4,500 pounds of milk and under, per COW per year; group two, nerds with an average production of from 4501 to $500 pounds group three, $500 to $500 pounds; group four, $500 to 7.50O pounds and over, and group five 7,5o0 pounds and over. The group giving 4,5G0 pounds and under produced milk at cost of 6.72 cents per quart. Group two produced milk at cost of 5.94 cents per quart, groups three and four were able to make milk at 8 cost of 5.62 and 5.42 cents per quart respectively. while

1 group number five that averaged over | 7,500 pounds per year made this pro- duction at a cost of 4.66 cents pel quart. Ill discussing these figures the 1 bulletin says. Tt is interesting to note that the lowest cost of produc- ton is in group five (the highest pro- ducers) and the highest cost of pro- ductiCn is in group one.
 "The figures show that group five was the only one, making profit per COW ($10.S6) over the net cost of the milk, while group one lost $33.75 per cow.
 "A comparison of the total feed cost of the various groups shows that in
 proximately according to production.
 The higher production not only en-
 entailed greater total feed cost, but 1t
 also caused a greater overhead eX-
 quart are decidedly lower in group five
 than in group one. From this data it
 is conclusive that it behooves the dairymen to strive for herds of large capacity for production. This is most rapidly obtained by the use of pure daily milk records.
 This discussion should bring forcib1y to the attention of Connecticut dairy men the importance first class dairy stock as foundation for profita ble dairy operations. It is notable that the authors of this bulletin say noth- thing about increased production through heavier feeding. It is a we'll itations to increasing production through feeding operations. and this is especially true where profitable pro- duction Is %he goal.
 Better sires, better handling of dairy heifers and a careful culling of the herd through daily records of produc- ton will do much, to bring larger pro- fits for the dairymen of Connecticut.

These calves were fed twelve pounds daily of whole milk each, as maxi mum. When three to four weeks or age, this amount was gradually re- duced adding sufficient water to keep the total liquid at twelve pounds (they were given access to more water as desired). After four to five weeks they received only 2.5 pounds of milk daily, the remainder of the period.
 They began to eat silage in negiig- able amounts at six weeks of age, but did not eat it consistently until they reached ten weeks of age, at four months they were eating ten pounds but growth was not satisfactory so reduction was made to permit them to eat more grain and hay. In gen age by with holding the grain and hay.I They also would frequently eat the silage first from preference. At the end of six months they were con- suming ten to thirteen pounds daily.
 Yhe average weight at birth was S3 pounds and at six months 303. This is a gain of 220. a daily gain of 1.22 pounds. This is about equal to an average gain from fourteen to fifteen pounds of m-milk daily, and better than could be expected from milk suo-
 The cost of feeds now is somewhat higher than the price here use. It is seen, therefore, that the first six is expensive and one is war ranted in raising only weil-bred calves The present and prospective future price of cows warrant calf c. White, Connecticut Agricultural College.

Dr. S. Began and Prof. H. F.
