TUBERCULOSIS CAUSES LOSS
insidious Manner of Attack of Disease
Makes 1t Most Difficult
to Detect.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agrtculture.l
tuberculosis Of fowls is more widely
distributed over the United States than
is generally supposed. 1t is especially
destructive to fiocks in the 'North and
West. The course Of the disease is
slow, symptoms are apparent only IN
the late stages, and the mortality is
high. The danger TO man, however, Is
slight, especially since cooking the
flesh Of fowls destroys the tubercular
bacilli. Treatment of fowls affected
is declared to be useless, but the dis
ease may be stamped out by methods
described in Farmers Bulletin 1900.
which may be had upon application to
the division of publications, United
States Department of Agriculture.
OF all domesticated birds the fowl
shows by far the highest mortality
from tuberculosis. The disease has
spread so extensively in some states
as to cause very serious losses to the
poultry industry. The insidious man
ner of attack makes 1t most difficult to
combat, because affected birds show no
visible symptoms until the disease
processes are far advanced, and in
the meantime IL has been communicated
to others Of the flock
Avian tuberculosis. as It is some
times called, is caused by a micro
organism closely resembling the ba-
cilli of human and bovine tuberculosis.

and mice also may contract the dis
ease naturally. Bacilli of the avian
type have been found in tuberculous
persons. The principal danger to hui
mans is in eating eggs from tubercu-
lous fowls. as eggs may be infected
with the bacilll; however. as man is
considered quite resistant to the avian
type of tubercle bacilli the chances of
infection are doubtless slight

GRAIN FEED NOT ESSENTIAL
Sheep Will Do Well Where Leguminous
Roughage and Corn SiIage
Are Available.

Grain feeding of sheep during the
early winter months is not absolutely
essential where a leguminous rough
age and good corn silage or roots are
available; but the best results are OBJ
tanned when q small amount of grain
is fed regularly throughout the win
ter and increased just previous to
Landing. Two parts whole oats and
one part wheat bran, by measure,
make a good mixture. If some grain
IS fed during the winter. less will be
required near Landing time Old ewes,
especially, need plenty of good feed to
bring about maximum results.

organism fail to hatch. thereby re-
ducinS to a minimum the danger Of
infection from this source, but if in
fected eggs are thrown to the fowls the
disease may be established in the flock
One of the first symptoms is gradual
emaciatiOn, which becomes especially
noticeable in the breast muscles

or dropping Of one or both wings is
another symptom.
The bulletin mentioned describes
these and other symptoms at length.
Paleness of comb. wattles. skin on the
head and about the eyes is evidence OF
the last stages. A skilled operator can
apply the intradermic tuberculin test
TO detect the presence Of the disease
but medical treatment for fowls is fu-

usual being slauChtering, are the
wisest. Fowls in good flesh may be

are badly diseased and all visceral or

HOG SHOULD BE PROTECTED
Too Many Farmers Have Idea That
"Any Place Is Good Enough"
for the Animals.

Most farmers have the idea that any
place IS good enough for a hog. This
is a mistake, for the hog is more sus-
ceptible TO cold than a horse, a cow,
or a steer, because he is not so well
protected as are the larger animals
The minute a hog is put into house
where drafts blow on him he is almost
sure TO contract pneumonia or some
other similar trouble If he is kept
in dry well-ventilated place, where
he can stay in comfort, he is not apt
to become diseased.

TO PLANT MEMORIAL TREES
Operating With Local Authorities
in Arrangements.

Plans are materializing for the
planting of trees along the principal
roads in many states. as a me
mortal to the American soldiers who
lostfheir lives during the World war.
Several national organizations, includ-
ing the American Legion and the Boy
Scouts of America, are cooperating
with local civic organizations in ar
ranging for the planting. The black
walnut seems TO be the variety most
favored for such planting. Planting
days are being arranged in Illinois, In
diana, Wisconsin. Michigan, Iowa,
Ohio and other states.

Maude Moore Takes
Stand in Her Own
Behalf at Knoxville

KNOXVILLE. Tenn. Dec. g.
Maude Moore, accused slayer of Lee
roy D. Harth, automobile dealer of
Knoxville, who was shot to death
September s, 1919, continued on the
stand when court convened Thurs
dav morning. The defendant was I'M
der the fire of state counsel for
cross examination. having related
the incidents LEADING up to the kill
ing of Harth at Yesterdays session.
Cross eXamination of the woman
as undertaken late in the evening
had failed to break her testimony at
any important point, her testimony
as it deviated from that given in the
first trial always being met with the
response that she did not remember
what she said at that time.
The state played largely upon the
association of the defendant with
Martin Hunter, to whose rooms she
fled on the night of the killing and
who accompanied her south of Knox
vile prior to her subsequent surren-
der to the police and her testimony
on cross-eXamination in this respect
was broken only with regard to the
manner in which she awakened Hun
ter when she went to his rooms.
Maude Moores recital of her life
leading down to the night Of Harth' S
Staying, subsequent trial, conviction,
flight from Knoxville and arrest at
Tacoma, Wash, was given for the
most part in an even tone of voice,
the defendant breaking down and
sobbing only as she related the al
legged struggle with Harth on Kings
ton Pike, and this resulted, she said,
in her being jerked from the car
and thrown down ON the ground. In
the struggle, she said, a pistol fell
to the ground and she seized it and
fired at Harth. II was mortally
afraid of him and feared he woulu
force me to do his bidding" the de-
PENDANT said, giving the reason for
shooting her companion.
Nervous fear and absolute lack OF
funds was given as her reason for
fleeing the city just before her Sec
Ond trial in 1920.

Cotton Goods Makers
Ask Speedy Action
On Tariff Measures

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Prompt
action on the tariff bill was asked
today by spokesman for cotton goods
manufacturers appearing before the
senate finance committee. Present
uncertainties, it was said, were pre-
venting the active operation of old
enterprises and the stimulation OF
new ones.
Cotton manufacturers today are
operating on a day-to-day basis and
are unable to look ahead and make
plans for future activity" said Ar
thur n. Lowe, speaking for associa-
and south. 1--WE meet the keeneSt
competition in our markets from
Japan, England, Belgium and other
sections of Europe where longestab-
lish industries are paying low
wages"
Declaring that the present Under
wood act does not afford proper pro-
lection to the industry, Mr.. Lowe
said congress must look at the ques-
ton in a broad way.
Favoring the American valuation
plan, the witness said, that unless
this was retained the FOrdney bill
would have to be rewritten as to
rates. Even with American valua-
ton, he added, the measure is not
"sufficiently protective" as the
rates on cotton manufactures care
very much lower than under any
previous Republican tariff bill.

This postponement of dates, the depart

ing the acreage, yield per acre, production
and valuation figures for the principal crops
in forty eight states for the years 1913, 1920

The delay also is made necessary by the
enormous amount of work involved in check

estimates.
The reconciliation of the crop estimates
