DISEASES OF TURKEYS
Fowls Are Subject to Same Trou-
bIes as Chickens.
BIackhead Is Most Destructive ALL
ment and Is First Indicated by
Sluqgishness of Gait-PIace
Birds on Fresh Soil.

Turkeys are subject to the same
diseases as chickens, but to much
greater extent.
Blackhead, which prevails to a
slight degree in the chicken yard is
a destructive turkey disease. Chick
enpox, canker and roup are treated
as for chickens.
Cape worms are treated by giving
camphor in the water, or busting u
little lime for the poults to inhale
through cheesecloth-covered box.
This causes the birds to sneeze, and
so to expel the worms.
Blackhead is first indicated by a
sluggishness of gait. The poult does
not look i'll, but is slow in coming in ;
will linger for an evening or two,
sauntering in at the end of the file of
stately birds. From tagging behind,
the affected bird drops out entirely,
and may be found standing with
dropped wings.
A slight yellowish-white discharge
about the vent indicates the dis
turbed condition of the liver. The
chances are, when a bird reaches this
condition, that it will give opportunity
for post-mortem in another day.
This will show the two blind pouches
of the intestines-the caeca, or "blind
CUTS" as they are commonly called
filed with a thick whitish discharge,
and covered with ulcers. The liver
will be spotted, covered with circular
yellow ulcers or depressions.
When blackhead is discovered in
a flock, the birds should be placed
on fresh ground, and great care TAX
en- to prevent contamination of the
water through the droppings. A dose
of epson salts-from scant tea
spoonfas4 each to adult birds, to a tea
spoonful to every six poults-should
be given. Turpentine in mash, or
stirred through scalded wheat is a
good thing. Give half pint in three
doses to 40 adult birds, on three sue
cessive mornings, and follow with a
dose of epson salts.
Give all the onions the birds will
eat-chopped onion tops, roots and
even onion tea. For individual treat
ment, take one egg one teaspOonful OF
turpentine; beat well, and give tea
spoonful of the mixture night and
morning to poult three months old,
half as much to- a poult the size of Il
quail If the bird won't eat put the
turpentine and egg on a piece of bread
and force down throat. Destroy the
droppings.

LET POULTRY HELP WIN WAR
Threatened Hunger Period May Be
Warded Off in Great Measure by
Attention t. Chickens.

The hunger period which threatens
the United States and its allies In the
present war may be warded off, in part
at least, by attention to the lowly
chicken, says A. G. Smith, head of the
poultry department of the Minnesota
College of Agriculture.
The hen is the only producing crea-
ture that can be profitably kept on
small areas such as city and village
lots, that will transfer table waste into
highly edible product. She selects
from waste material, bugs, weeds and
grasses large part of her living for
several months in the year, and dur
ing this time is usually high pro-
Queer of very fertile eggs. She re-
produces her kind much more often
than any other productive animal
She can be cared for by women and
children and often by invalids and
convalescents.
For these reasons Mr.. Smith urges
that every well-selected hatchable egg
should be set at this season when eggs
are lower in price than at any other
time of the year.
Other poultry including ducks, geese
and squads should also receive careful
attention in view of the present and
future food situation.

FLOCK OF PRIzE-WINNlNe TURKEYS.

(By B. A. AIIRENS. Poultry Department
Oklahoma A. and M. College, Still
Water)
The bronze Is the giant of the turkey
family and can be easily grown with
proper care.
The parent stock must be strong and
vigorous, just the same as for chick
ems.
Hens are in profit until five years of
age.
Gobblers should be changed every
year.
Hens must not be allowed to become
too fat before the breeding season.
When the gobhler becomes too fat,
infertile eggs result.
Remember that turkeys are Of
roaming disposition and must not be
kept in confinement.
1t Is estimated that a breeding flock
of six should produce from rs to lOO
young.

Turkeys are reliable for both In

1t Is a noted fact that If the gobbler
is present when the first clutch of eggs
is laid, the second clutch will be fertile

In catching turkeys, avoid rough
