Sanitation Is Essential
for Success With Fowls

The poultry industry is facing the
problem of using more sanitary prin-
ciples If poultry is to continue to be
profitable. tuberculosis, coccldiosis,
tapeworms, roundworms and bacil-
larry white diarrhea are causing the
greatest losses to the poultry industry.
tuberculosis is most satisfactorily
controlled by testing the flock. remov-
ing the reactors and thoroughly clean
ing the premises. In case of heavy
infection in flock 1t Is best to dispose
of the entire flock and buy healthy
birds, putting them on fresh ground.
Coccidiosis is one disease in which at
tention to the sanitation is an ex-
tremely important factor In its con-
troll.
Tapeworms require an intermediate
host to complete their life cycle, and
the common fly is the intermediate
host to three of them. Tapeworms
are most effectively combated by de-
streying the breeding places of flies
in manure piles, old straw piles and
accumulations of decaying vegetable
matter.
Roundworm eggs pass out with the
droppings to be picked up by other
birds. Changing the chickens to new
ground and blowing up the old ground
is the best means of preventing infes-
tation
Bacillary white diarrhea is most ef-'
fectively controlled by blood testing
the older chickens to see which birds
are infected. By eliminating the re-
actors infection is not passed by way
of the egg nor the ground infected by
the droppings.
Thus we see that the diseases which
are causing our greatest poultry
losses may be or are being combated
by the use of proper sanitary and pre-
ventive measures. Also chickens
which are in a thrifty condition are
much less susceptible to some Of the
bacterial diseases of poultry which
are capable of causing great losses

ed to draw the plaudits of hero. But
not higgins. The attitude of sports
writers and the general public seemed
to be that the Yankees were victorious
in spite of Higgins rather than be-
cause of him.
And last years debacie seemed to
confirm the impression that the Yanks
as team depended wholly upon the
antics of Babe Ruth and that any
bush-leaguer could make more of a
success than Higgins.
Rupert Has Confidence.
This, as said before, Is another
year. Colonel Rupert, the genial
owner of the Yankees, always has had
oceans of confidence in "Hug" and this
confidence appears well placed.
A great deal of the 1926 success of
the Yankees certainly must be laid to
Ruth's reformation. But aside from
the great slugger the New Workers
have a powerful team and one won
ders If Higgins shouldn't receive some
of the glory.

A year ago when the Yankees were
headed nowhere in the American
league and were battling to remain
out of the basement, one man was
blamed for the tremendous flop and
that man was Miller Higgins.

excellent chance to hang on to that
precious position, but in the comments
on~the form reversal one hears moth
ing about the same Miller Higgins,
who has continued as the pint-sized

The hot-pack is quick and easy

Briefly, the het-pack method Is to

HURLERS SPEEDIER
THAN AMOS RUSIE
Never at Any Time Had the
Speed of Johnson.

clark Griffith, In the course Of
talk on fast ball pitching, made the
interesting assertion that Amos Rusie
never at any time had the speed of
Johnson. He went further and de-
clared there never have been half a
dozen pitchers with more speed than
the old-time Giant.
There is a general but wrong be-
lief" said Griff, shat Rusie was ex-
ceptionally fast. He was fast. all
right, good and fast, but it's joke to
compare his speed with Johnson's.
What Rusie did have was the fastest
curve ball ever pitched and the best
curve, but his curve was as swift as
his fast ball. That's what gave the
impression Of his having unusual
speed.
He got so he had great control Of
that curve and then he became a great
pitcher. I've seen him at three and
nothing then hook three fast ones
over. AS a speedy pitcher, however,
he hadn't as fast a ball as Johnson,

NeuD Rubber Rings Only
for Canning Home Food

Rubber rings for home canning food
in glass jars must be purchased new
each year, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. 1t is being
penny wise and pound foolish to use
the same rubber rings twice, and Jars
of spoiled instead Of sweet canned
foods may be the result of such false
economy The rubber ring is .all-im-
pertant to the alright seal In a glass
Jar. The best new rubber rings, there
fore, are none too good for home can
ming. The high temperature of proc
essing is hard on them and to with
stand 1t they must be of good quality
The simplest test Is to double the
rings together and press the fold with
the finger The rubber should not
crack under this treatment.

Conclusively Proven That
Product in Ration Makes
Big Saving.

Stockkeepers must know the cost
Of their feeds in order to determine
the best and most economical ratfons.
For this reason 1t is necessary to in
vestigate the cost Of making silage,
writes A. l.. Hacker in the Iowa
Homestead. The Missouri Agricul-
tural college last year showed cost
of $500 per ton for corn silage. They
based this on the bushel yield, credit
ing the corn with "a cents per bushel
and charging actual costs which were
liberal on all items and above the
average now paid.
During the past % years many Of
our experiment stations have pub
lished figures on cost of producing
silage, but as conditions have radi-
cally changed in costs, these figures
are of little value at the present time.
1t is hoped that new figures on this
subject may be secured this year and
that special care will be taken to
give data produced on average farms.
Ways of Figuring.
There are two principal ways Of
figuring cost. One is based on the
yield of corn, which is the most COM
mon, and, believe, the least reliable !;
the other is based on land rental and
actual cost of growing and harvesting
the crop. Thirty per cent Of last
years corn that went into the silo
would not have made marketable
grain, due to the fact that it lacked
maturity. Frequently O field of corn
at tasseling time is so damaged by
hot winds that the silk. is dried or
burned and the corn will fail to ear.
Such crop will still make silage,
though 1t is a total failure as a grain
crop. Where the basis is made on
land rental and all costs, more &C
curate accounting can be made.
Under present-day conditions it is
safe to conclude that silage can be
made, where all costs are considered,
for from So to Sc per ton. The fol-
lowing figures may be used to de-
termine the worth of silage under
good farm conditions: When butter
fat is selling for 40 cents per pound,
corn silage will bring the dairy farmer
$40 per ton; and when fat steers are
selling for 50 to $40 per hundred
weight, corn silage is worth from 81
to So per ton. Then farmer with a
silo and fair yield Of crop can re-
ceive a value from his corn made into
silage Of $40 to $50 an acre, when
fed to steers, and 500 when fed to
good dairy cows.
Makes Big Saving.
1t has been conclusively proven that
silage In the ration makes a saving
of considerable money. With dairy
animals, the feeding of silage saves
from to 10 cents on the cost of pro-
ducing a pound of butter and from
80 to so cents on producing 100
pounds OF milk. For beef production

The common cabbage worm, the
most destructive insect enemy of cab
bage and related crops, is best con-
trolled by spraying with lead arsenate
or calcium arsenate, says the United

Common Cabbage Worm and Its Con-

Imported Parasites of
Corn Borer Aid Control

A number of parasites of the corn
borer have been imported from Eu-
rope and liberated in this country in
recent years to aid in control of this
pest of the corn crop. Four different
kinds of these parasites have been
recovered lately in New York, Ohio,
and New England, showing they are
becoming established here. Winter
shipments of parasites from France
to the corn-borer laboratory at Ar
lington, Mass, have included nearly
$4,000 of one species and about 1900
of another, as well as 355,000 host
larvae from which four other species
of parasites will be reared.
