Deadly Turkey Disease

Recent research indicates that chick
ems and turkeys-cspecinlly turkeys
will not thrive when raised together
within comparatively close quarters
and small field range. II has been
found that blnckhead. which IL said
by Investigators to be responsible for
20 per cent OF losses among growing
turkeys, may be produced in the poulis
by feeding them the eggs of n small
worm found In the blind gut Of chick.

may and does live In the eggs of the
common intestinal worm of hens.
Even turkeys sick with blnckhcad
are not So dangerous to their kind,

Minnesota, las are common hens or

The turkeys should he hntchcd and

Ing To investigators. This upse's Il
theory long maintained by some poul

A. d., hut earlier records show that
sclf-londing crossbows are referred to
In Chinese literature several centuries
before Christ. In all probability this
weapon Is not n Chinese contrivNnce,
but belongs to the culture ot the l.olo
and Maio.tZu. aboriginal tribes In the
southwest and south of China. says II
writer In the New York Evening Post.
Their national weapon is still the
crossbow, and they have Influenced
Chinese culture to certain degree
since oldest times. In the Chinese col
lection on the third floor OF the Ancri-
can Museum of Natural History are to
be found excellent examples OF implc-
mcnts OF warfare, including n we'll
preserved repeating crossbow.
The weapon consists OF II wooden
arm about II foot and n half In length.
In this Is II pcrforntion through which
the bow passes. On the stock there
IL affixed n magazine holding from
seven to ten small darts which can be
shot one after another In quick sue
cession. On the arms there IL II lever

which passes a string OF neat leather.

Two alarms of fire over the week
end kept the fire department busy,
but the damage was not great in the
first call, while yesterday the de-
partment answered a call to a
home with no use for the apparatus
at all. On Friday evening shortly
before 7 o'clock the hay barracks
on the Dawson estates on Gatzmar
ven was found to be in full blaze
and the apparatus responded and
put the fire out. The origin of the
fire was unknown as the place had
not been occupied by anyone for a
long time. Yesterday morning a call
from the box at Lincoln avenue and
Stevens street was without any work
by the department. Some rubbish in
a scuttle near a stove in a home
frightened the inmates and when
the apparatus arrived the debris had
been dumped into the stove.
Common council will meet tonight
in borough hall and important bust
ness will be transacted.
