STORM LOSSES
ONCULF COAST
RUNNING HIGH
Damage at Pensacola
And Mobile Estimat-
ed Close to Three
Million

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 22.-tF)-
Residents Of Northwest Florida and
the southern portions Of Alabama
and Mississippi today renewed their
efforts to improve communication
facilities and make other repairs
necessitated by the Indian hurri-
csne which roared inland Monday
from the Gulf Of Mexico. Three
deaths and several million dollars
loss were attributed to the storm in
that territory after il had spent its
force many miles from the coast.
Pensacola, Fla, and Mobile, Ala,
suffered greater losses to property
than other cities in the Gulf sec
tion. Crops were laid bare over a
wide area, and three children
drowned in Baldwin county. Alabama.
More than s2.O00,O00 will be re-
quired TO replace property destroyed
in Pensacola by the winds which at
times attained velocity of 120
miles an hour. Several bridges there
were washed away, roofs were lifted
from buildings and some Of the ships
anchored in the harbor were sunk.
Santa Rosa Island. natural break
er, is believed to have saved the DE-
struction OF buildings located near
the water front.
The naval air station situated near
Pensacola was hard hit. Many air
planes were placed out OF commits
sion and several structures within
the reservation ware partically de-
mclished. As In Pensacola, the
navsl post was without city water
and electricity. A bridge connecting
; the station with Pensacola was mad (.
impassable by the hurricane.
Loss in Mobile was expected to ex-
ceed s1.0O0.000. Many homes in
sems business buildings there were
unroofed and several houses de-
moiished.
The coast guard cutter Tallanoosa,
which rode out the gale in Pensa-
cola harbor, was enrouta to Tampa
Florida. to aid storm victims Of that
section Of the alligator state. Dam
a0e to property of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad in the Pensacola
district was unofficially estimated at
100000.

Bovine tuberculosis Is
Fast Being Eradicated

Bovine tuberculosis is now being
eradicated from the herds in the
United States. In some states the
infection of bovine tuberculosis Is
found in 10 per cent Of all the cattle.
This is the case In the state of New
York. Most OF the Southern states
have less than / per cent and some
have less than One-half of per cent.
1t will require many millions OF dol
lars, however. to eradicate the dis
ease. Some four million dollars are
being spent annually and the work
has just started. In New York state
trainloads Of infected cattle are
shipped and slaughtered where many
OF them are condemned and tanked.
The South is exceedingly fortunate.
because this disease has been kept out
ofsthe various Southern states by live
stock sanitary laws Also many
states have been testing most OF the
milk cows and pure-bred cattle and
destroying all OF the react0rs.

An Insect belonging to the fly fam

ISOLATED with related forms whose

Bull Is Most Important
Animal in a Dairy Herd

The most important animal in a
dairy herd Is the bull. AS he IL the
sire of all the calves, be alone is re-
sponsible for half Of the individuality
and milking ability of the future dairy
herd. The COW is important, but she
can exert her influence on only one
calf each year.
This important animal at the head
of dairy herd should by all means
be a pure bred. It is not so much the
registration papers that make the SUI
perior individual. but with the regis
tration papers the owner knows exact
~ what breeding and performance
records are behind his herd sire.
A good pure-bred bull is one with
high production among bis ancestors.
The dam of the bull and the dam of
the bulls sire should both have rec
Ords which are far above the average
Of the cows to which the bull will be
mated.

'SCANTP PASTURES
NLATE SUMMER

The condition OF the pastures dur
Ing late summer makes necessary
certain changes in feeding dairy
cows, says the New York State Col
lege of Agriculture in a statement is
sued recently. At this time the pas
lures are usually rather seaRt, which
makes grazing more difficult.
The different pasture plants are
also more mature. This means that
they contain more dry matter but less
protein. These conditions are, in turn.
accompanied By severe hot weather
and by a host Of flies which bring
much discomfort TO the animals. Be
cause Of these things the dairyman
must use all his knowledge and skill
to the best possible advantage in or
der 10 maintain the milk flow.
First OF all. heavier feeding is need
ed The deficient pastures must be
helped out with more feed, either
through sOilage crops, or grain: or
both. More protein must be provided
in the grain mixture not only because
Va q AoNA VI II tA1C RactAAahNs Hdt
also because grain Will make up a
larger proportion OF the daily ration.
A simple yet suitable combination
OF feeds Is as follows: 800 pounds
wheat bran, 800 pounds hominy or
corn meal. 800 pounds gluten feed. 100
pounds llnseed oil meal.
This mixture contains 40 per cent
OF high protein feeds. This Is just
about the right proportion to make
balanced ration with late summer
pasture grass.
For the man who wants greater va
riety the following mixture is sug-
gested: 200 pounds wheat bran, 100
pounds standard wheat mIddIings or
ground oats, 300 pounds hominy or
corn meal, 200 pounds gluten feed, 100
pounds linseed oil meal. 100 pounds
meal; 43 per cent.
This combination is similar In COM
position 10 the first. but is somewhat
more expensive under present market
conditions.

Good Poultry Business
to Gull Out Nonlayers

Just as a good business proposition,
those hens that are not laying at this
time OF the year should be culled out
OF the flock and sold They have prob
ably finished their years work and
will eat expensive feed and use valu-
able house room the rest OF the year,
The poor-laying hen at this time Of
the year is lazy, overfst, probably be-
ginning to molt, and has bright yell
low coloring left in her legs and beak
If she is Of the yellow-skinned breeds.
On the other hand. the good LAYER IS
always active. looks healthy, viii not
mott until late In the fall, and has put
the yellow from her skin into the yolks
OF all the eggs she has laid.
Any flock owner can Gull hens by
these Indications. II he does not have
confidence in HIS ability TO do good
Job Of culling he can shut his culls
up for a few days and see II they lay
any eggs.

TUBERCULOSIS is

veloped tuberculosis.
These results would seem to lndi-
cate" say the authors, that tubercle
bacilli are not usually transmitted
through the egg and that the danger
In this manner is not great"
Tuberculosis among chickens is es-
peclaliy frequent in Iowa. Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, and Wiscon-
sin. Close housing necessary Ia win
ter months contributes to the spread
ing Of infection. tuberculosis in
farm fiocks becomes significant be-
cause of its relation to the tubercu-
losis of cattle and swine. In II out

of swine was contracted
from barnyard fowls. Experiments
have also shown that the skin form of

poultry houses built too late in the

roup.
Before the birds especially PHllets,
are put In new poultry house the
floor as well as the lumber used In
construction must be thoroughly dry
A house built Of seasoned lumber dur
Ing the month of August has ample
time for drying out before the birds
are put into their winter quarters.
The essentials of good poultry
house are +: Dryness. as this prevents
colds and roup; fresh air, which keeps
the birds in good health; sunlight. ma
lures best dislnfectant, and floor
space so that during confinement the
birds will have room to exercise.
For the best results a poultry
house should be built for units OF 200
birds. This requires a house 20 h.
40 feet. 1t should face southwark and
should be located on high. dry ground,
and where II gets some shelter. Glass
windows on the east and west sides
with curtain windows IN the front will
allow all the sunlight and fresh air
that the birds require.
Protection OF the flock against dali
and seasonal changes Of weather and
climate is the purpose of a poultry
house. For New Jersey conditions,
the New Jersey multiple unit laying
house gives best results. The plans
for this house are given in Circular
