arian to test several 1ocks at one
time. 1t is best to do this in the WIN
ter months when the veterinarian is
not so busy and the owner can give
the necessary assistance.
Another plan, that of Strengthening
all of the old fowls each year at the
close of the active laying season, is /;
very satisfactory one in keeping ahead
of the disease. The normal fowls and
those in the beginning stages of the
disease can be marketed or canned
for home table use.
After the old birds have been dis
posed of in this way, or the infected
fowls found by the tuberculin test are
removed from the flock the poultry
houses, coops, and troughs should he
carefully cleaned of their litter and
thoroughly disinfected with 3 per
cent compound creSOl solution.
1t is highly probable that the long,
severe winters and the methods of
poultry housing as practiced by many
in this northern climate, accounts for
much of our fowl tuberculosis. The
little cramped up, single room, poul-
try house with one or no windows,
should be replaced at the earliest time
possible by a more modern structure
with separate apartments for rOost-
ing and feeding with plenty Of south
side window space for sunlight, and
provision for ventilation. Remember
that poultry sanitation is as important
other classes Of livestock. Regular
cleaning Of the poultry house every
few days not only protects the health
of the fowls but greatly improves pouI-
try production in general.
Great care should be exercised by
those who have healthy birds and
those who have freed their fiocks of
tuberculosis in bringing in new breed
ing stock. 1t is good policy to pur-
chase from reliable pOultrymen and
especially in the case of valuable pure
breds to buy only subject to the tuber-
culin test

ease can be obtained by applying for

Strawberries and cleared 100000.
Then we passed into another valley
where walnut trees predominatcd,
then into ranch country where one
herd of cattle should say numbered
at least 5000. Then on we went to
San Juan where the oldest mission in
California is located. This mission
was erected by Catholics in 1877 for
benefit and use Of Apache indians
Of which there were originally and at
that time about 10000 but which
tribe was wiped out by an epidemic of
a plot of ground not more than A.
feet square 1921 Indians were buried
in trenches, dying so fast it was i'm
possible to arrange other burial for
them. This mission was badly wreck
ed in the earthquake of 1906. How
ever the major portion is still stand
ing and a Spanish lady guide took US
through same and pointed the many
places and things of interest. For
instance we were shown the vault
where priests who have served their
parish were originally buried until
vault was badly twisted by earth
quake and hence shortly thereafter
they were removed to other burial
place.
In holding funeral services over
Indians there still stands the rack in
which their bodies were placed at di-
rection of priest; for instance if one
had been a good Indian he was placed
on top and if half good Indian he
was placed in second tier and if a
bad Indian he was placed nearest the
ground. Of course the ignorant In
dians all were anxious to get to the
top and it is claimed governed their
actions accordingly. Near the mis-
sion are walnut trees 125 years old and
still bearing. The original furniture
made by the Indians is still in the mis-
sion. However this mission is not
used except once each year for hold
ing services. We were glad to get out
of it as it looked to me that it was
myself and my two boys standing un-
due to collapse at any time. But
might say this is the most noted and
famous mission in this state and there
are great number to be found all
through California.

Tuberculosis in Fowls
(By A. F.. Schalk, Veterinarian, North
Dakota Experiment Station)

(By A. F.. schalk, Veterinarian, North
Dakota Experiment Station)
Fowl tuberculosis is markedly on
the increase in our section of the
country, and thousands of pounds Of
valuable poultry flesh are lost the
poultry industry annually in North
Dakota from the ravages of this dis
ease. AS winter is the season during
which tuberculosis makes its most
raDiG spread within the flock, it might
be well to keep in mind some of the
conditions governing the disease as
we'll as to consider ways and means
for it's management and control.
1t is caused by germ, the fowl
tubercle bacillis, which is member
of the same family of germs causing
tuberculosis or consumption in man
and beast.
While the disease may attack any
of the barnyard fowls, including
pigeons and sparrows, it is found most
often in chickens and turkeys. AL
though fowls of any age may be af-
fected a large majority of cases are
found in old birds, particularly those
that have passed through one winter
The germs are taken into the body
mainly through food and drinking
water, and the droppings of infected
birds as well as the offul from dis
eased carcasses are perhaps the most
common source of infection.
When you see fowls growing light
In weight ("lighters" the owner calls
them) with combs and wattles becom-
ing pale, and showing an inclination
to sit around, and often presenting a
limpy gait when forced to walk, one
can reasonably expect tuberculosis is
present If you should slaughter such
a bird and examine the internal or
gans you will usually find further
evidence of the disease. Examine the
liver, spleen and outside Of the intes-
tines carefully for small greyish-white
or yellowsl spots or nodules. These
may range from pinpoint size to that
of small marble or even larger The
finding of them means tuberculosis in
most all cases.
Tuberculosis in chickens can be- de
termined in f1Ocks by the tuberculin
test. The test is made by injecting a
few drops of tuberculin between the
upper layers Of the skin of the wat
ties or comb by means Of Il very small
needle. The development of swell
ing at the point of the injection after
"a to y hours indicates that the bird
is tubercuar. The test, however. Is
a very delicate one and requires one
who is thoroughly familiar with the
the technique preferably competent
veterinarian. The work can be car
ried out with but little cost to each
when group of farmers get together
in community and employ veterin-

land PROPORTIONS
FOR AVERAGE FARMS

On the average North Dakota farm
80 per cent of the acreage should be
devoted to small grains; 12k per cent
to cultivated crops; 1917 per cent to
forage crops. and % per cent, or the
remainder, which will include the un-
tillable land, should be devoted to per-
manent pastures hay lands and the

This is the recommendation of 20

ed to study the question.
"A part of the 50 per cent devoted
to small grains should be used for
wheat or rather cash crops" says
Edgar I. Olson, superintendent of the
state demonstration farms. "The acre
age devoted to feed crops, like oats
and barley, Gun be reduced If larger
area is devoted to corn and the corn

A Message to People in Poor
Health Who Want
to be Well

If you are in poor health merely
from a general rundown condition,
get some Guides Pepto-Mangan of
your druggist and take it with your
meals for a few weeks or until you
feel right again. Pepto-Mangan is
a wonderful tonic and blood-builder
and is very pleasant to take. 1t does
not act like miracle. Its effects are
gradual, but real and sure. 1t con-
tains iron in form easily digested
and absorbed by the system. For
thirty years Guides Pepto-Mangan
has been used by physicians as a
tonic for rundown people. Don't
continue to be weak, nervous, ana
headachy--take GUIDES Pepto-Man-
gan and restore your good health.

Preventative Medicine

The tendency of medical science
is toward preventative measures.
1t is easier and better to prevent
than to cure. Pneumonia, one of the
most dangerous diseases that medi-
cal men have to contend with, Of
ten follows cold or attack of the
grip. The cold prepares the system
for the reception and development
of the pneumonia germ. The longer
the cold hangs on, the greater the
danger. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as soon as the first indica-
ton of cold appears so as to get
rid Of it with the least possible de-
lay. 1t is folly to risk an attack of
pneumonia when this remedy may
be obtained for a trifie. Sold Every

POOR YARN BLAMED FOR
MIGHTY SWATS

Ban Johnson, American League
president, said today the Jack Rabbit
baseball of 1921 which some players
said was responsible for much of the
sensational batting, resulted from the
fact that manufacturers were again
able to secure good yarns for the
spheres. When the war made it inn
possible to use the better yarn, a
cheaper grade was substituted, he ex-
planned, and wrapped more tightly than
had been the custom. When better
yarn was again available the manufac-
turers failed, at the first, to go back
to the old method of winding.
Another cause, he added, was that
the rubber covering of the cork cores
was sometimes uneven in thickness so
that when the batter connected, where
there was a good depth of rubber, the
ball streaked away in sensational
fashion.
