TREAT TURKEY FOR CHOLERA
Isolate Affected Birds in House Re mote From Other Poultry Build
 ings-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 incurable. Place all birds which show any symptoms of the disease in house remote from other poultry buildings and one which can be easily and thoroughly disin- fected. Give the birds few drops of creolin or sulr o-napthol in their drinking water, just enough to turn it faintly 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 in fected birds. Spray the runs and all parts of the building with ereolin oi sulpho-napthol solution. one table spoonful to two gallons of water. The runs should also be plowed frequently.

PRODUCING BERRY H0LLIES

The berry-producing hollies are di- vided into two speeies-the Opaca and the Aquifolium. The first thrives along the coast woodlands from New Eng land down to New Jersey and as far out as southern Missouri. The second is fayorite of the English gardens, and it finds it's best American devel- opment along the Pacific coast.
 Some of the hollies are perfect, bear ing both the male and female parts the pistils and the stamens-while in many trees only one element is pres ent. Most of the trees that are avail able do not have the double charac- teristc and it is necessary to plant one staminate tree among several pistil- lates. The Aquifolium is regarded as the superior type where it can be grown handily.
