POULTRY MEN Or
CAME ASSOCIATION

A poultrymen's meeting was held
at the farm bureau office on Tues
day, Jan. 80 The meeting was held
for the purpose of developing the
poultry industry in Bingham county
both from the production and
marketing standpoint.
A poultry association was organ
lied with Charles E. Harris as presi-
dent and Walter F. Thomas secre-
tary.- Another meeting will be held
in the near future to further perfect
this organization.
The poultrymen of Canyon county
and other western counties are now
marketing their produce thru the
Pacific Poultry association, but it is
their desire to link up with the
counties in this section of the state
and organize an Idaho Poultry asso-
citation. If this can be done it will
eliminate a great deal of the trouble
we are now having in marketing our
eggs for cash.
Watch for the announcement of
the next meeting and if you are in
terested in poultry don't fail to
come.

REMOVE HORNS FROM CATTLE
Where Clipper Can Be Used Strong
Stanchon Is Satisfactory
Casting Is Different.

There are many ways of combining
cattle that are to be dehOrned. Where
the horns are removed with a clipper
a strong stanchion may be all that is
necessary, or a dehorning chute can be
made if a number have to be removed,
but for one or two animals and where
a saw is used a convenient method is
to cast the animal. For this purpose a
casting harness such as the one shown
in the illustration and known as the
English hobble has been used with
good results. In fact in throwing an
animal for any purpose it will be
found convenient and easy method.
You can make this by placing a
rope hobble around each pastern. Have
the hobble tight enough so that it

loose enough to slip rope between 1t
and the leg. After a hobble has been

PROFITABLE TO GULL FLOCK
1t Is an Art Anyone Can Acquire, and
the Sooner Unhealthy Fowls
Go the Better.

Culling chickens is to the poultry
keeper what milk testing is to the
dairyman. Fortunately it is an art
anyone can acquire. The sooner the
flock is culled the sooner expenses are
cut down. Then, too, the prices are
higher earlier in the season. The man
who is making the most Of his poul-
try, Systematically culls. Birds lack
ing in health, and general purpose
breeds not laying and two years old,

NO CURE FUK TUBERCULOSIS
kost Common Symptom Of Disease 10
That Fowls Get Worry Thin, Waste
Away and Die.

tuberculosis is one of the most
common diseases found in the poultry
f1ocks of the corn belt, says J. ].
Warren of Iowa. The disease devel-
ops rather slowly. The infected birds
do not usually show any symptoms I'M
til several weeks have passed, and in
many instances several months after
they have contracted it.
The most common symptom of tu-
berculosfs is that the birds get very
thin, waste away" and finally die.
Another is to find a bird going lame
in one leg without showing any out
ward sign of injury, even while the
bird is in good health. The bird may
live several weeks after this lameness
first shows up.
To make sure that the disease is
tuberculosis, it pays to kill and exam
Inc the insides Of very sick bird.
The liver, spleen and intestines are
often enlarged, but contain light yell
low spots which are hard, sandy
LESSONS. Lungs are seldom found to
contain LESSONS.
There is no cure for tuberculosis ex-
cept to keep it from spreading. Burn
the dead birds or bury them; kill the
infected birds without spilling any
blood; don't try to keep aged hens
and keep the henhouse clean, especially
from droppings. Use lime on the soil
where the fiocks feed, and change the
ground. 1t helps some to separate the
young chicks from the old ones and
to be careful when buying new stock.
Sanitation is the biggest help.
