Fight Poultry Diseases
by Timely Prevention

The best way to combat poultry dis.
eases Is to prevent them. Insanltary
conditions about the poultry house
poor living conditions damp floors
cold drafts and other faults that easily
may be corrected are Predisposing
factors toward disease. One of the
first things to do after these things
are looked after properly Is to isolate
any sick bird that may appear In the
flock.
1.-The poultry industry ! is rapidly
growing" says Prof r. s. Dearstyne
OF the poultry department at North
Carolina State college. 'Thls increase
Is noticed not only In the larger num-
Der OF poultrymen but also In the in
tenslty Of production. With an In
crease OF birds on the farm comes an
increased disease hazard and the most
successful method of combating these
diseases is to prevent them from oc-
curing.
Professor Dearstyne states that au-
tumn weather usually marks out
breaks of seasonal diseases such as
pox, roup. poultry typhoid, contagious
bronchitis and pneumonia. The yearly
mortality among domesticated birds
from these diseases is very large and
Is usually caused by the owner allow
Ing such diseases to become we'll es-

The tremendous flow of water nee
essary In the operation of large cleo
trio generating plant astonishes most
people. The new Avon plant outside
OF Cleveland. Ol,io, uses 100000 gal
Ions per minute mainly for the con-
densation of steam from the huge tur-
blnes that drive the generators. This
means that the plant uses about as
much water every half-hour as Is
consumed in a whole day by a city Of
100000 population.

SELECTING FEEDS
FOR LAYING HENS

In choosing a feed for the hen flock
four things should be considered
First, the digestibffity; that is, how
much OF 1t may be used to suit the
purposes for which II is intended. or
how much OF It win actually be Of
salue in supplying body needs and
building eggs. Second. the compost
tion; that Is, the amount Of protein,
carbohydrates. fats, ash and water
which are the real food materials used
py the body. or these. protein is the
most valuable. and protein feeds are
usually more expensive. Carbohy-
drates and fats rank second Ia food
value Third, the palatability; wheth-
sr or not the bird likes the feed and
Rill eat readily. Fourth. the whole
someness or cleanliness of the feed;
moldy. musty or dirty feed should not
be fed Hence good feed for the hen
IS easily digested, contains protein,
carbohydrates, fat. ash and some wa
ter and is palatable.
The ration which is to be used
should depend largely upon the ma
terlal which you have at hand, but
you should see that the hen has what
feed she needs for the manufacture Of
eggs. Unless your hens have all the
milk they can drink do not leave out
the meat scraps In your dry mash and
expect them to lay well. good "a.
ton for many fiocks is;
Dry Mash.
One part corn meal by weight. 1 part
ground oats. / part bran. ! part shorts,
1 part meat scrap or tankage, ] pound
fine table salt to 100 pounds mash
Scratch Feed.
Two parts cracked corn by weight,
part wheat. ! part oats, barley. cane
Or kahr corn or a mixture OF these
leeds.
Aside from the dry mash and
scratch feed, the hen should always |
have access to green feed and min
erals, II expected to do her best
SpFouted- oats mangels. cabbage OF
leets make exceptionally good green
'eeds. Oyster shells mixed with char
'oal are very good to keep before the
lens at all times. This mixture should
,e kept In a small hopper where litter
will not be scratched into 1t. Always
zee that your dry mash is well mixed
md that II Is before the hens at all
lines in a self-feeder or containeT
which is high enough to prevent litter

Advanced Registry Test
Reveals Ability of Cow

Many dairymen realize an Increase
OF value In their herds through the
discovery OF cows Of exceptional pro-
ductlve ability, while other dairymen
continually lose money through keep
ing low producers.
The advanced registry test, says w:
r. Robbers. superintendent of that
service at the New Jersey agrlcul-
tural experiment station. New Bruins
wick. Is in high standing among our
leading dairymen for measuring the
true value of the cows In the herd.
Records Just completed show. for In
stance, that well known dairy com
pany In Caldwell has discovered by
means OF the advanced registry test
three grade cows OF excellent produc-
tive capacity.
One called Polly produced this
past year 15.O97 pounds OF milk con-
tanning TAT pounds OF butterfat. while
another, called Noble Peers Nora,
produced 1920 pounds OF milk con-
tanning 642 pounds OF butterfat. A
third, only, one year and three hundred
days old at the beginning OF her test,
produced 1O.S53 Of milk containing
400 pounds OF butterfat.
These cows we're sired by Noble
Peer. No. sS.030, son OF New Jer-
sey's foremost Guernsey bull, Ne
Plus Ultra. and were, therefore. ex-
pected to be better than average
producers. Without some accurate.
official test, such as that OF the ad-
vanced registry. however, their true
value would have remained un.
known and Of no service In helping
the dairy company to decide whether
or not to keep them In the herd.

 Although old Sol has not been act ing in his best behavior lately, and the weather in general, has been rather inclement, still it did not materially dampen our visitors optimism about interior Alaska. When each and every one arrives at the park, it is usually the case without execution. the same query is put forth, twill we see Mt. Mckinley and lots of gamer" Though Denali is somewhat elusive at times, the game of the park which is becoming more and more tame, nearly always besport themselves in plain view and often approach within very short distance of their interest ed admirers. Particularly in those spots at the head of Eavage river Grizzlies, caribou and mountain sheep are always visible to say nothing of an occasional fox or moose. The Tow bush" moose abound in thousand and the ground squirrels are running them close second when it comes to quan- tity.
