Beef cattle on farms lost in average
value per head from January /, 1919,
to January 1, 1921, all that they
gained during the participation Of the
United States in the World war and
than half as much again, accord
ing to the bureau Of crop estimates,

ture. The loss occurred mostly in 1920.
This has been established beyond doubt
by the recent annual investigation of
prices Of farm animals per head made
by the bureau. The average price per
head, all ages, of cattle other than
milk COWS was 1852 in 1917, $44.22 in
1919, and $31.41 in 1921. On January

prepared by the United States Depart.

Turkeys are probably the natural
hosts Of the ~gapewOrm-a serious pest
among young chickens-and are an
important factor In their spread. This
has been demonstrated by a zoologist
of the United States Department of
Agriculture as the result of expert
ments and other investigations carried
on at Washington, d. c., and on farms
in several localities in Maryland.
Many Turkeys Harbor Gapeworms.
During three winter seasons begin
ming in December, 1916, a total Of $50
chickens and $40 turkeys were ex-
amined In the Washington city market.
No gapewOrms were found in the
chickens, but 22.5 per cent of the
turkeys were found to be infested.
From 1 to s worms were found In each
Of the infested turkeys. A report of
these Investigations has been published
by the department in Department
Bulletin 939, 1.-THE Turkey as an I'm
portant Factor in the Spread of Cape
worms"
In view of the complete absence of
gapeworms from a large series of
adult chickens and their common oc-
currence in a similar series Of adult
turkeys, it would appear, the bulletin
says, that adult chickens are poorly
adapted as hosts of gapeworms. That
turkeys above 3 years of age may
harbor gapewOrms is established by
the fact that a turkey which was kept
at the departments experiment sta
ton at Bethesda, Nd, for three years
after 1t was brought there was found
after its death to be infested with
a pair of worms.
In the perpetuation of gapeworms
from year to year on infested poultry
farms the two chief factors, according
to the bulletin, appear to be turkeys

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists rave watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,

Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-

should do.
Swamp-Roet has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on it's merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has SO many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start

and contaminated soil. Whether, in
the absence Of turkeys from a farm,
gapeworm afiiction among chickens
will regularly disappear has not been
definitely established, but 1t seems
probable that it may often do 50. Cape
worms among chickens appear to be
more prevalent on farms where turkeys
frequent the chicken uns than on
farms where there are no turkeys.
Available evidence indicates that gapes
has a tendency to disappear on farms
following the removal Of turkeys.
From experiments recorded in the
bulletin, 1t has been found that chick
ems, unlike turkeys, are readily sus-
ceptible to infection with gapeworms
only while they r young. They be-
come less susceptible as they grow
older. Adult chickens are seldom likely
to spread infection, for in those in
stances In which gapewOrms develop
In adult chickens the parasites are like

Methods Of Avoiding Loss.
Losses from gapeworms can be
greatly reduced, If not altogether
avoided, according to the bulletin,
by keeping young chickens on ground
that has not been exposed to contain
ination within at least q year by
chickens with gapes or by turkeys,
and by excluding turkeys from it dur
ing its occupancy by chickens. As
gapeworms appear rarely to occur in |
adult chickens, brood hens may be as
ISOLATED with young chickens with |
little risk of infection. The simplest
means Of preventing or reducing losses
from gapes appears to be the exclusion
OF turkeys from farms where chick
ems are raised.
