Prevent Loss of Chicks
by Proper MANAGEMENT

Pigs liver chopped into small pieces
Is the best cure for toe and tail pick
ing among small chicks confined in
brooder houses. Toe and tail picking
is one OF the three most common
troubles among young poultry stock
and is caused by combining the chicks
too closely to the brooder without suf-
f1cient litter and exercise.
Toe and tail picking in mild cases
may be cured by getting the chicks
out on the range as soon ss the wealth
er permits. In extreme cases the adj
vice is to daub tar on the picked parts
and feed pigs liver to the entire flock.
Crowding and leg weakness are the
other two troubles among spring
chicks. When the brooder house is al
lowed to get too hot or too cold chicks
are likely to crowd. Fright or Inn
proper weaving from the heat of the
brooder stove will also cause them to
bunch together in corners. The obvi-
Gus remedy is to decrease the heat
gradually and get the flock on low
roosts as soon as possible.

The annual and biennial weeds

When these plants are scattered
they may be killed by pulling them
up by the roots or by cutting them.
When they are growing throughout
field, close cultivation must be re-
sorted to in the attack. Perhaps one
of the best methods of successfully
combating weeds Is by rotating the
crops grown on the infested soil. A

WHITE DIARRHEA is
CAUSED BY A GERM

White diarrhea In chickens, a very
infectious disease which may be trans
mitted from chick to chick by contact.
Is caused by germ which multlplies
rapidly in the body of the chick, caus-
ing severe diarrhea that proves la
tai in large majority of the infected
flocks. 1t has been definitely proved
that hens which appear healthy may
carry in their organs of reproduction
the germ which causes this disease
and which manifests itself in the
young chicks within two or three days
after Matching. Healthy chicks in the
same incubators or breeders may be-
come infected by contact, or by eating
food or drinking from vessels that
have become contaminated with the
droppings of these sick chicks.
White diarrhea usually develops
quickly, causing heavy loss in chicks
that are few days to a week or more
of age. The chicks huddle together,
appear sleepy or stupid, and have no
appetite. The droppings are white in
color and this causes a condition
called pasted up behind" The chicks
die within few hours or days after
the disease is noticed.
All sick chicks should be killed and,
along with all litter, refuse, and feed
that is found in the brooder house,
burned. All utensils used in and
about the brooder house and the house
itself, should be thoroughly cleaned,
scalded with boiling water, and disin-
fected. Only healthy chicks should be
put in the disinfectad brooder house.
1t is best If possible to move them to
entirely new quarters.
No satisfactory medical treatment
for infected chicks has been found.
The disease may be prevented by
Matching eggs from disease-free fiocks.
Certain drugs used In the drinking
water aid in preventing the spread of
disease in chicks. Bichloride Of mer-
curry in the proportion of 20 grams to
every gallon of water is recommended.
Sour milk or buttermilk should form
good part Of the ration. To save a
flock when the infection has once
started requires constant care and UNI
firing efforts.

A good tanning mill is the farmers
best weed getter.
Even three-leaf clovers bring good
luck if you have plenty of them.

Sweet clover should be cut for hay
before it blossoms and should be cut
high.
Weeds should be cut and pulled
along fences and in odd spots on the
farm so their seeds cannot be blown
or washed onto the fields.
When corn and soy beans are to be
planted together for ensilage, use
from four to six quarts of soy beans
and the usual amount of corn.
Good pasture and forage crops will
help to reduce pork-producing costs.
Pigs on green feed are more thrifty
than those raised in dry lots
Sweet clover seeded in the spring
usually gives trouble if 1t is plowed
under the first fall The second-year
buds force themselves through in the
spring.
Whether or not tomatoes should be
.staked and pruned to a single stem
or at least partly pruned is subject Of
argument yet among tomato growers
Probably 1t is a good idea to try them
both ways and test It out

Horse-Radish Thrives on
Soil of Medium Texture

Horse-radish, like other root crops,
will thrive on soil of medium tex
ture. Either loan or silly clay
loan containing a good supply of or
ganic matter and plant-food will give
good yields. On moist, but not wet,
soil, the roots will develop to a good
size and be of fine quality, while on
dry location they will be small and
woody, and will lack to large degree
the characteristic sharpness. An ideal
soil Is one which is free from large
stones, which can be easily cultivated,
and which reaches to depth of 10 to
Is inches, underlaid by clay subsoil.
These conditions make possible
check in the growth of the roots when
they reach the subsoil, while on light
err soils the roots often grow to depth
Of four to five feet, which is very I'M
desirable.

these weeds. One common method is
that of summer following in which
the land Is not cropped and Is culti-
waited throughout the summer to keep
down all vegetation. This frequently
gives good results, but involves cor
siderable labor with no income.
Another method frequently en-
ployed Is that Of cultivating with
crop. Where perennials which spread
by running roots or root stocks are to
be removed while crop Is being
raised, blowing should begin the pre-
ceding summer or autumn, the earlier
the better. This should be followed
by careful cultivation until the
ground freezes The next spring plow-
ing should begin as soon as soil con-
ditions permit and be repeated at In
tervals of four weeks until July. Be
tween plowings thorough cultivation
should be practiced. In July the seed
bed should be carefully prepared and
the land sown to millet or buckwheat

Many Counties in Move.
Five hundred and thirty counties are
now actively engaged in countrywide
movement to remove the last trace of
the infection in the cattle within their
borders and thus win for themselves
the coveted title and reputation of
modified accredited areas" To date
90 counties, representing IA states,
have achieved that standard of clean
l!ness. The most recent areas to be
added to the list, issued monthly by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, are Jasper and Pottawattamie
counties in Iowa, Moore and Polk
counties in North Carolina, and Barnes
and Benson counties in North Dakota.
The state of Nav Mexico is even
more aggressive in its attitude toward
tuberculous cattle and is planning a
campaign to test ali the cattle within
the state so as to establish the whole
state as modified accredited area.
Several of the state legislatures now
in session have provided adequate
laws and appropriations for carrying
on the area work. The New York leg
islature, recently adjourned, appropri-
ated 100000 for the payment Of in
IDENTITIES for tuberculous cattle con-
demned during the last six months of
this year. It is expected that like
amount will be appropriated for the
first six months of 1926.
Popular Area Plan.
The gradual change from the herd
to-herd method of fighting the disease
to the popular area plan Is indicated
by some comparable figures gathered
by the department. During February
of this year 35,818 herds of cattle we're
tested under the area plan and only
1882 herds tested under the accredited
herd plan. The number of cattle tested
in the area work amounted to 380,875,
and the number in the individual herd
testing amounted to las, 495. From
July, 1924, to and Including February,
1925, under the area plan there were
tested 2,899, 1856 cattle, while under the
accredited herd plan there were 1,2S4,-
927 cattle tested.

Brown Rot of Peaches

Investigators who have been expert
menting with brown rot of peaches in
Georgia have reached the conclusion
that the control of curculio means
practically the control of brown rot
also. DIR. H. w. Anderson, who has
been working on brown rot in Illinois,
has come to the same conclusion. 1t
appears that the principal method of
infection by the brown rot fungus is
through wounds made by curculios.

Direct Sunshine Is Fine
Food for Young Chicks

Feed your chicks sunshine If you
want them.to grow rapidly and strong.
Scientists say that leg-weaknesS in
chicks reared indoors is caused not
by the wrong feed but by the lack OF
direct sunshine which enables them to
use their food In building good.

shine they mean sunshine that has not
lost most Of Its effect by being sifted
through glass or cloth. Leg-weakness
Is at the seat OF many chick troubles.
preventing sufficient exercise ana max
ing it difficult for the chicks to secure
their feed.
It is therefore important that the
chicks be allowed outdoors on the
sunny days as early as possible.
little while each day Is better than
not at all. A small yard can be pro-
vided so as to simplify getting them
back into the house when desired. If,
because Of cold weather, the chicks
cannot be outdoors, the windows
should be opened at the bottom so as
to allow the entrance Of the suns
rays without interference.
Green stuff such as clover sods that
have been grown In the sunshine, yolks
of egg laid by hens that have been on
range, and crude cod liver oil, fed at
about / to 2 per cent Of the ration,
will help to make up for the lack or
sunshine, but most poultry keepers
will prefer to use sunshine whenever
possible.--Cora Cake, Extension Poul-

Biennial Sweet Clover

Biennial sweet clover grows only
from the stem and not from a crown
as is the case with alfalfa. Early in
the fall the second-year buds have not
vet formed. Pillow the green growth
under then and the buds do not de-
velop But examine a plant later in
the fall and the second-year buds have
developed remarkably and show green
shoots. If these are turned under,
they will surely come through and
bother in the spring.
