NO KNOWN CURE
FOR BLACKHEAD
AiIment Caused by Parasite, and
Is Characterized by Great
Sores in CaeCa.
MEASURES BEST
On Farms Where an Outbreak Has Oc-
Cured All Birds Not Affected
Should Be Sold for Meat
Disinfect Premises.

Blackhead in turkeys is caused by
a parasite and is characterized by
great sores in the caeca (blind in-
testines) and liver. This microscopic
parasite causes irritations, destruction
of the tissues, and nearly always the
death of the affected turkeys.
The characteristic symptoms of the
disease are as follows: The loss Of
appetite and tendency of affected birds
to stand apart from the rest Of
the flock in common. When the intes-
tines are severely affected the birds
have diarrhea and the droppings are
liquid and stained orange yellow; this
is a characteristic symptom. Diseased
birds are frequently found dead under
the roosts.
Means of Diagnosis.
The only sure means Of diagnosis,
however, is by post-mOrtem examina-
ton of bird that has recently died.
The bird should be cut open to ex-
pose the internal organs, and the liver
and caeca examined. The presence of
large sores in the substance Of the
liver and the caecal walls is sufficient
evidence for diagnosis. The
caecal sores may vary from a single
point to a large scab covering nearly
all the lining of both caeca. The liver
is very much enlarged and the sores
on it are two-fifths to three-fifths OF
an inch in diameter.
At the present time there is no
known cure for this disease and the
only means by which it can be con-
trolled is by preventive measures. On
farms where an outbreak has occurred,
all the turkeys which have not come
down with the disease should be mar
keted for meat and not sold for
breeding. Nor should eggs from an
infected flock be used for Matching.
It would be well not to attempt to re-
stock a farm with turkeys for several
months; and not until a thorough dis
infection Of the premises has been
made, by exposing the ground to the
hot summer sun and by the liberal use
Of freshly slaked lime in the poultry
houses, roosting places, and feeding
pens.

demonstrates that the bulls were well
selected. Of the q daughters of as
sOciation bulls for which the 1918 rec
Ords are available, 16 eXcelled their
dams in butter-fat production, and 15
excelled their dams in production Of
both milk and butter fat.
The average yearly production of
the dams was $500 pounds of milk
and 219 pounds of butter fat. The
average yearly production of the 81
daughters was 6,523 pounds of milk
and 263 pounds of butter fat. In milk
production the daughters excelled
their dams by 963 pounds or II per
cent, and in butter-fat production by
A pounds, or 20 per cent. These are
not as large gains as some other bull
associations have given, but are well
worth while.
Because of cooperative ownership
the bulls cost the farmers no more
than would have been paid for scrubs
it costs no more to feed the daugh-
ters than to feed the dams, and it
costs much less to feed the bulls be-
cause there were not so many of them.
The increased production, therefore
was all net profit.

Up This Week Thursday
and Friday For Year 1921.

This week will see the close of
all the boys and girls camps in
this lake region, after a vacation
period of eight weeks in the Big
Woods lake region. That these
camps have been successful in
every phase, is left TO the man
or woman who but looks at those
hundreds of boys and girls as
they board train this week for
their homes all over the United
States-east west and south.

Friday.
There are within this section
of lakes and woods some thou
sand boys and girls who have
been spending an eight weeks
vacation next to Nature style,
and that they have benefited is
shown by their bronzed bodies,
bright, snappy minds-made so by
being placed in contact with Nat

1t is patent that there is no
better method of placing in the
making for healtful man and
woman out of the city boy or
girl, than a summers outing I'M

and women who have charge of
these camps in this lake region.
Every girl and boy has the daily
care necessary for their uplift
toward purer manhood and wo-
manhood; they are taught that
pure minds and bodies make pure
men and women and this is seen
when they leave for their city
homes.
The friends they have won dur
ing their stay. will remain friends
to them even after they have
gone, for in them we see the adj
vancement of a better people as
the years pass by.

WON FROM IRON RIVER

City Team in Fair Game
Sunday-Spectacular Foul
Catch.

Eagle River 5; Iron River 8.
The game between Eagle River,
Wisconsin, and Iron River, Mich
igan, last Sunday in the latter
city. failed in producing other
than a victory for the home team
IN a clean game with the Mich
igan ball toSSers. While the
game lacked any amount of class
enthusiasm, principally on ac-
county of the absence of a full
house" of fans on the grounds,
still it was good ball" Iron
River fans were conspicuous by
their failure TO properly support
their home organization, and
that alone tended to cut down
the real gilt-edge playing of the
Iron River boys.
Paul for Eagle River allowed
no more than one hit in any in
ming. Stanley made a spectacu-
lar catch of a foul off first,
showing some of the neatest
foot-work of any player out of

matter.

BIG BENEFIT RETURNS
Loyalty of Music Lovers and
Boys Camp Management
Net Good Sum for Bands
Support.

At the benefit staged at the
opera house Monday evening, the
Eagle River band boys are richer
today by over Sl75.OO-that be-
ing the gross and net receipts of
the minstrel show staged at the
opera house Monday night by
Camp Winnepe boys from Cat
fish lake.
That the show was splendid,
and carried with it some excel
lent. talent, is known when one
but listens 10 the street corner
gossip concerning the camp boys
minstrel show. A packed house
was the result of the affair stag
ed for the benefit of the band,
and the encores were many. The
snappy side-line sayings of the
boys from the Southland, who
have been in the Northland for
the past eight weeks on their
outing, certainly appealed to the
people here, both residents and
visitors. 1t was more than good.
A drive was started last Tues
day for funds to reimburse the
band members for instruments,
music and uniforms, they having
paid this money out of pocket.
During the entire summer season
they have given weekly concerts
in Railroad Park. These were
attended regularly by summer
people. and the average nightly
attendance was better than forty
cars of summer visitors, not
counting the home people. That
these concerts took" is shown
by the receipts in ticket selling.
The members of the band re-
quest the Villas County News to
thank the management and boys
of Camp Winnepe for staging
their show for its benefit; fur
Their. the band especially thanks
numerous summer people who
through their personal efforts
advanced the sale of tickets to
such an extent that the gross re-
ceipts were far in excess of ex-
pectations.
