Deadly Turkey Disease
Is Traced to Chickens

Recent research indicates that chick
ems and turkeyS-especially turkeys
will not thrive when raised together
within comparatively close quarters
and small field range. 1t has been
found that blackhead, which is said
by investigators to be responsible for
90 per cent Of losses among growing
turkeys, may be produced in the pouits
by feeding them the eggs of Il small
worm found in the blind gut Of chick
ems. The germ which causes b~lackhead
may and does live in the eggs of the
common intestinal worm of hens.
even turkeys sick with blackhead
are not SO dangerous to their kind,
says Or. w. A. Billings of the agricul'
tural extension staff, University OF
Minnesota, "aS are common hens or

While both lamb and mutton have
been popular meats In many countries,
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture points out that there Is a ten
dency among American housekeepers
to limit their choice not only to lamb
but to q few favorite cuts. such as rib
chops, loin chops, roasts and leg Of
lamb. This has helped. no doubt, In
keeping the price of lamb at a high
level. Greater use should be made of
the forequarter of lamb. Furthermore.
there Is no good reason why mutton
cannot be made as popular here as 1t
10 In England.
Chops and Roasts.

mutton are the rib cuts, the loin and

prepared BY the United States Department
of Agricuiture.)
The United States Department Of
Agriculture points out that special
care must be given to the clothing
and linen used by person suffering
with any contagious disease and hand
kerchiefs used during a cold. They
need special treatment and should
not be kept or washed with other
clothes. Separate bags or other con-
tainers that can be sterillzed or de-
stroyed should be provided. Infected
clothing may spread the disease d.
rectly to the persons who handle II
or indirectly through contact with
other articles. Boiling Is the sim
plest method of sterilizlng infected
clothing. but the heat Is likely to in
jure some fiber and set stains and dirt |:
therefore other methods are some
times preferable.
Such clothes may be dlsinfected
previous to washing by immersion In
one Of the following solutions for one
hour:
A 8 per cent dilution Of the COM
mercial solution of formaldehyde
(formalin).
Al per cent solution Of phenol
(pure carbollc acid.
A n per cent solution Of liquor
cresolis compositus.
Further directions are given by the
United States public health service
Infected clothing may also readily
be sterilIzed by immersing In boiling
water for ten minutes.
Wooden goods may be disinfected
by immersing In water maintained AT
n temperature of 1875 degrees F. for
20 minutes. II the goods are then
carefully washed and dried, no I'M
due shrinkage of the garments should
result and the Infectious agents Of
disease, except those due to spore-
forming bacteria, such as anthrax or
gas gangrene, will have been de-
stroyed.
The person who handles the infect
ed garments should wear some form
Of apron to protect the clothing, and
this apron should be dlsinfected Inn
mediately after the soiled clothes are
handled. Also the hands and fore
arms should be thoroughly scrubbed
with soap. water and nall brush for
ten minutes by the clock. and thor
orghly rinsed In either the phenol So
luton or the cresolis solution men
toned above or In 1000 solution
Of bichloride OF mercury.
These precautions are necessary In
order to prevent the germs on the
clothes being carried to the mouth Of
one handling the clothes or indirectly
to the mouths of others.

on skewers in this way is called 'shish
kebab." A little onion juice Is some
times squeezed over the meat Just be-

added when the broiled skewers of
meat are served.
Stew.
In making stew OF either lamb or
mutton. choose cuts from the forequar-
ter. Remove all excess fat, season the
meat well, and allow sufficient time for
cooking. since meat stews should be
simmered rather than boiled. Such
vegetables as onions, carrots and peas
may be added to the stew or served
with II.
Boiled Lamb or Mutton.
Boiled meat, so-called. Is properly
prepared by plunging the piece into
boiling water, then keeping the water
slmmering until the meat Is tender but
not cooked to pieces. The leg. shoulder.
heart, tongue and cuts from the breast
of either lamb or mutton may be cooked
In this way. By using different kinds
of gravies and relishes. much variety
can be given. Cold boiled mutton. pan

particularly good as luncheon. break

For braising, combination Of stew
