Announcement.
Poultry Diseases.

Mrs. Adam Scheer near Ryan, and
several other farm women have been
reporting the loss Of great many
chickens and geese from diseases. Up
on investigation these instances most
generally proved to be cholera.
This is very serious to get start
in a flock of chickens and every means
should be taken to keep it in check
now that the chickens will be confined
to closer quarters and the danger will
be more apparent.
A remedy for this has appeared in
the Farm Bureau section before, but
in order that those interested may
again receive Information we are
pleased to print the following. De-
stroy all dead birds by burning or
burying with quick lime so that dogs
will not be eating them. Isolate those
that are apparently sick and prepare
the following disinfectant in their
water for their use:
Seven grains tablet Of Bichloride Of
mercury to one gallon of water. Be
sure that the birds do not have &C
cess to any other drinking water. The
same drinking water would be well
for the general flock in order to keep
the disease in check. Give the chicken
house a thorough coat Of whitewash
and the roost sprinkling of dip or
other disinfectant. If the disease is
apparently under control it is a good

Boys and Girls Club Report.

A report has been received from the
State club leader that Marion E. Bell
of Wellman, Iowa, Is the Champion
corn grower for the state this year.
In this acre contest he grew 119
bushels of corn with 16 per cent
moisture test. This is quite a record
for young boy competing against 906
other boys and girls from the state.
Young Bell in telling how he pre-
pared his ground says that he began
early in the spring giving the ground
a good coat of manure and blowing
about May first, six inches deep. Har-
rowed it twice about every two weeks
until planting time. In ten days the
corn was up high enough to pillow. He
then plowed it four times after which
he went through with hoe and cut
out the weeds.

FEW ESCAPE.

There are few indeed who escape
having at least one cold during the
winter months, and they are fortunate
who have but one and get through with
it quickly without any serious conse-
quences. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and observe the directions
with each bottle, and you are likely
to be one of the fortunate ones. The
worth and merit of this remedy has
been fully proven. There are many
families who have always used it for
years when troubled with cough or
cold, and with the very best results.

| plan if once in while to prepare a
special drinking water by dissolving
potassium permanganate or, purple
crystals in water. A good plan is to
dissolve about handful in a two
quart jar of water and use this as a
stock solution. After a time if one
wishes to disinfect the drinking water
heat enough of this stock solution,
probably two or three spoonfuls or
enough to give it a purplish tint.
These remedies suggested are the
best disinfectants known to use
around poultry and we trust our read
ers will keep this formula where they
can find it readily.
Idle Moments.
A good farm manager used to tell
the boys that when they were resting
was a good time to keep the harness
oiled up, look after the machinery, get
lit in repair, etc. We recall having
heard this more than once on our
farm, especially on a big western
ranch.
Now that the work season is prac-
tically over with it is pretty good
plan to wash the harness, to get off
the brine and dirt that has accumulat-
ed through the season, giving it good
thorough oiling. It not only helps to
preserve the leather but gives it a
new lease on life. Exposure to sun
and rains has had the tendency to dry
out the oil and thus decays the leath-
er.
Machinery that has not already been
put under cover should be taken in out
of the weather if possible. The deter
ioration of machinery from exposure
to weather is estimated to be almost
twenty per cent per year.
1t Is good time while putting ma
chinery away to make note Of any
broken parts and have repairs made
now so that when the busy season
comes next spring everything will be
in readiness. All shiny parts such as
pillow shares, shovels, etc., will benefit
by having coat Of axle grease or
heavy oil.

Report of Cow Test Association.
A report has just been received
from the state office giving partial
report of some of the COW test asso-
Citations over the state. This report is
indeed interesting. The summary
states that in these associations there
are twenty-seven cows making over
fifty pounds Of butterfat month; "a
making sixty-four pounds. Before
pure bred bulls were bought 40 cows
were sold, representing non-produc-
ers and 20 were bought. This is in
deed an active history of interested
farmers endeavoring to build up their
dairy business.
We are wondering how many dairy
men over the county are keeping any
accurate record of the milk produce
ton of their cows.
At the present writing only two such
cases are known Of by the County
Agent This together with the Bah
cock test is the only real test for
wedding out the non-producers who
do not pay their board. Try this sys-
tenn out for three months and see what
results you obtain.

At a recent meeting of the officers
OF the Delaware County Farmers In
stitute it was definitely decided to hold
the Institute this year at the county
seat from January 18th to 18th In
elusive. Special committees were or
ganized and every effort will be made
to have the strongest program that
has ever been held at the Institute.
Besides a good list of gentlemen
addresses there will be several educa-
tional features. In addition corn
and small grain show promises to De
one of the main attractions. 1t is
hoped that farmers will begin now TO
get ready for this corn and grain
show. There will probably be two
divisions in awarding the prizes, one
for professionals and one for amateurs.
Boys and Girls club work will also
receive due attention. Plans are now
under way for Boys and Girls spe-
cial classes in Judging work and tie
rope.
AS soon as more definite informa-
ton is secured regarding the
program the public will be inform
ed as to what will take place. Be a
pusher and help make this County
Institute an educational center that
is worth while.
