November, when the males ordinarily
separate from the females and range
by tn .qselves. When two turkey hens
with broods Of about the same age are
turned out on free range together they
will remain in one flock, and as this
makes 1t easier to hunt them up ana
care for them. it is advisable to turn
out two or three hens with their broods

may all try to crowd under one or two

Rlackhead in turkeys is caused BY
parasite and is characterized by
great sores in the caeca tblind int.s-
tines) and liver This microscopic
parasite causes irritations. destruction
OF the tissues, and nearly always the
. oeath OF the affected turkeys
Inc characteristic symptoms Of the
disease are as follows: The loss of
appetite and tendency of affected birds
to stand apart from the rest of the
fock is common. When the intestines
are severely affected the birds have
.diarrhea and the droppings are LIQUID
-.and stained orange yellow: this is a
Characteristic symptom. Diseased birds
sare frequently found dead under the
.roosts.
81 The only Sure mGans of diagnosis,
however. is by post cxamina-
ton OF bird that has recently died.
The bird should be cut open to expose
the internal organs. and the liver and
caeca examined. The presence of large
sores IN the substance of the liver and
IN the caecal walls is sufficient evil
dence for diagnosis. The caecal
= sores may vary from single point
TO large scabs covering nearly all the
lining OF both caeca. The liver is very
much enlarged and the sores on il are
tWo-nfths TO tnree-ffths of an inch
in diameter.
AT the present time there is no
(, known cure for this disease, and the
only means by which il can be CON
troiled is by preventive measures. ON
farms where an outbreak has occurred

sheep Neglected Mt Local Fair.

Sheep Neglected mt Local FEirR.
Sheep are usually neglected at most
local fairs. They make one OF the most
attractive features OF live stock ex-
hibits where exhibitors and fair man
ayers cooperate. Following are a few
points which will help make a good e1-
hibit:
1. Keep feeces as lean as possible
All dung tags should be washed out
or trimmed off.
2. All foreign material. such as straw
and burs. should be picked out of tho
fleece.
3. Tho feeces of tho medium wool
breeds Of sheep should be thoroughly
carded out and the string ends OF wool
trimmed so as to present smooth
and attractive fleece.
1. The feet should be kept trimmed
so the animal can stand naturally.
Long sled runner" toes arc unnatural
and frequently develop foot trouble.
5. Sheep that are to be exhibited
should be taught TO stand by frequent
and patient handling at home for a
Few weeks SO that when the judge I'M
'vrtakes 90 examine them they will not
be continually twisting and pulling
away.
s. Sheep should be kept as fat as
practical Sheep will not fatten much
during the hot summer months, hence
not be allowed to get too thin in flesh
during the winter and spring. The
lambs should be literally fed. Oats,
bran. oil cake. good grass and hay, and
not too much corn. will be found sat
isfactory.
In addition to feed. the sheep, and
particularly the lambs, should be pro-
Vided with cool. clean and comforta BILE
quarters during the heat Of the day.
Flies are less troublesome in darkened
quarters
z. When showing sheep do not be
satisfied with merely contending for
the premium. Insist on bringing the
sneep ou' VI the pc he inspec-
ton of the Judge. and further request
the fair management to have a definite
time for sheep judging, so that peo-
pie interested will have an opportunity
TO see the animals outside the pen,
vhere they can make more accurate
comparison of individuals
g. Make the pens attractive by keep
ing them clean. Insist on having them
