KEEP DISEASES
out OF FLOCKS
PouItrymen Are Urged to Prac-
tice Proper Preventive Meas
ures in Fighting Ailments.
CAUSE OF HIGH MORTALITY
There Are Some Cases In Which Med.
icine May Be Used Advantageous
Iy-Danger Is Great Where
Fowls Are Crowded.

Fowls are subject to considerable
number Of diseases, some of which
spread rapidly through the flock and
cause a high mortality. They may al
SO be infested by various kinds OF
parasites, some of which live on the
surface of the body and others In the
crop, stomach or intestines. These
parasites are injurious because they
take n part Of the nourishment which
should be used by the bird to put on
flesh or to produce eggs, and also be-
cause by their movements and their
biting they cause irritation and infiam-
nation of the parts which they attack.
Keep Birds Healthy.
The contagious diseases which are
caused by animal and vegetable germs,
and the weakness and loss of flesh
caused by the larger parasites to
which reference has Just been mode
are the most important conditions
which the poultryman has to consider
In the endeavor to keep his birds
healthy. These germs and parasites
should be kept out of the flock by suit
able preventive measures, because dis
ease may be avoided much more easily
and cheaply than 1t can be cured.
Use Of Medicine.
There are some cases In which medi'
cines may be advantageously given OF
applied to fowls, but, as rule, when
a bird becomes sick 1t Is better to kill
II. because the cost of medicine and
the value of the time required to car
nv out the treatment are greater than
the value of the bird which is cured
Another reason for killing sick birds
is that they may be affected by con
tagious disease which before 1t is rec
ognized may spread to many Other
birds In the flock. A third reason
for killing is the fact that bird be
Ing sick indicates that 1t Is more sus
ceptible to disecse than the other birds
of the flock, and in order to establish
a flock which is able to resist disease
such susceptible birds must be elimi
mated
The greater the number of birds
kept upon any farm or plot of ground
and the more they are crowded to
gether the greater Is the danger from
contagion and parasites, and the NOR
important are the measures for ex
Guiding, eradicating, and preventing
the development of these causes o
disease.

BLISTER CANKER IS SERIOUS
Disease Cannot Be Controlled by Prun.
ing-seIect Trees Which Are
Not Susceptible.

Blister canker, one of the most seri-
GUS apple diseases in the middle West,
cannot be controlled by pruning away
the canker. The solution Of the prob
lem lies in selecting varieties of trees
which are not susceptible, or partic-
ularly avoiding the planting Of trees
of the Ben Davis type. All pruning
Wounds should be disinfected and COW
cred, since the spores Of blister canker
must always gain entrance through
wounds.

Everyday Moments.

1t is our daily duty to consider that
In all circumstances of life, pleasur-
able, painful or otherwise, the con
duct Of every human being affects,
more or less, the happiness Of others,
especially of those In the same house
and that, as life Is made up, for the
most part. not OF great occasions. II ID

Control Of seaIy Leg.

Another species of Itch mite attack
ing chickens, turkeys, pheasants and
cage birds IL the cause of condition
known as scaly leg. While this mite
Is usually confined to the legs, 1t may
occasionally attack the comb and wat
tiles. The disease occurs In most cas-
es az result Of contagion from other
birds, although the mites may also be
transferred from the roosts to the
feet OF healthy birds. It spreads slow
", and many individuals escape It en-
.irely although constantly exposed to 1t.

WAYS OF INCREASING HUMUs
Barnyard Manure and Turning Under
Green Crops Will Be Found
Quite Efficient.

Close, clammy soils will never yield
as they should till the per cent Of
humus is increased. Barnyard ma
nure and turning under green crops
are common ways Of increasing the
humus. By breaking early enough
for stalks and weeds to decay more
humus may be added.

PRACTICE CLEANLINESS

Chickens, turkeys, ducks,
geese, and pigeons are suscep-
tible to many diseases, some Of
which are highly infectious.
Disease germs pass rapidly
from bird to bird Of the flock,
and may be carried by one
means or another to neighbor-
ing flocks, producing extensive
outbreaks, or eplzootics. Sani-
tary and other measures which
have been found successful In
the control of poultry diseases
may materially reduce the great
annual losses in flocks II they
are properly applied.
