Poultry Diseases Cause
Heavy Losses to Farme

Heavy losses of poultry are being
caused by form of cold known as
bronchitis or cold in the windpipe.
ID. q. kennard, associate in animal
Industry, Ohio experiment station. who
is receiving numerous reports of re-
duced egg production and losses from
disease, attributes these losses largely
to closing the poultry houses too tight
and to overcrowding.
In bronchitis, apparently healthy
birds die suddenly from strangulation
caused by thick mucus which fills
the windpipe. This can be detected
by opening the trachea, or windpipe
from end to end with a pair of small
scissors.
The disorder responds to preventive
measures better than to treatment
Prompt relief may result from admit
ting an abundance of fresh air with
out drafts, providing ample floor and
roost space, and replacing old litter
with fresh, clean material. EPSON
salts may be given to aid birds In
overcoming the disease.

Vacuum Treatment Good
for Control of Insects

The use of high vacuum for insect
control seems never to have been con-
sidered seriously by the commercial
world, but the bureau of entomology
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture has recently conducted ex-
periments which indicate the effective
ness of a vacuum of "a to 20 inches
when used for controlling insects in
stored products.
Experiments have been conducted
in concrete chamber s by by feet,
specially constructed to withstand
high presSures and intended for the
treatment of certain warehoused COM
modities as part of the equipment
of modern storage warehouse. Data
obtained already indicate that the
usual fabric pests, such as are COM
monty destructive in stored house
hold furnishings, as we'll as pests Of
stored food commodities, can be
killed by the vacuum treatment. A
specialist of the bureau has recently
been sent to New York to investigate
the possibility of applying the vacuum
method to the control of the tobacco
beetle

Ducks Demand Plenty of
Water With Their Feed

A duck is contented so long as it has
plenty of water with its feed, and a
dry place to roost in; If water is not
supplied, and If the roosting shed is
damp and cold, the ducks first browse.
then roll over on their backs and die
much as ducklings die from "fits"
when they encounter digestive difficult
ties of any sort.
Give the ducks animal food of some
kind-buttermilk, or beef scraps. Give
them also mineral feed in the way of
bone meal, and of course most ground
grain and green food. Keep water in
deep pans before them at every meal.
Lannon's ration for ducks is good
for either breeders or laying stock:
One bushel bran, one bushel low
grade -four, one bushel corn meal one
bushel green feed, one-half busheI
either raw or cooked vegetables. one
bushel in ten of beef scraps, one-half
bushel in ten of cooked fish

Stored Vegetables Need
Well-Ventilated Cellar

Most vegetables keep best at a tenn
perature of 35 to 40 degrees Fahren-
heit in well-ventilated storage ROOM
If vegetables are stored in basement
room or cellar, 1t is important to pro-
vide fresh air by occasional or con-
stant ventilation.
Storage rooms without ventilation
or heating pipes will sweat, or collect
moisture on the walls, a condition
which causes rotting and other loss of
stored produce. To prevent this the
window or ventilator may be opened
for a few hours each day in extremely
cold weather and may be left open in
moderate weather.
If a heating pipe or fiue runs
through the storage room it may be
necessary to provide continuous venti-
lation from the outside to keep the
temperature down to 35 or 40 degrees,
and to sprinkle the floor occasionally
or place vessel Of water in the room
to maintain proper humidity.
Roots crops, such as parsnips, car
rots, beets, and satisfy keep best when
stored in boxes of sand or earth placed
on the floor in cool part of the stor-
age room.

Not Too Late to Mulch
Those Strawberry Beds

strawberry plants should be pro-
tected from alternate thawing and
freezing during late winter and early
spring" declares G. L. Kuehner, fruit
specialist at the University of Wis
consin.
"1f the strawberry patch has not
yet been covered it can still be done
with good success" he says. Differ
ent kinds of materials may be used
He says that many growers use moth
ing but green marsh hay, because it
is easily handled and free from weed
seeds. He recommends rye and wheat
straw for the same reason.
Kuehner warns against the use of
oat straw, timothy or clover hay as
cover for strawberry beds, pointing
out that many patches become over
run with weeds, grass and clover
through this source
Whichever of the recommended
materials is used, it should be spread
evenly to a depth of from two to four
inches," states Kuehner.

TEACHING HEIFERS
TO MILK HARD JOB

Every dairyman has his method of
teaching the heifer to milk. Some
heifers break into milk without a
great deal Of trouble, while others are
quite the opposite. I have never found
one rule that would fit all cases,
writes Leo C. Reynolds in the Michi-
gan Farmer. However, some general
principles may be generally applied.
One of these principles is to study the
disposition of the animal, becoming as
well acquainted with her as possible
before it is time for her to freshen.
During my years of handling a dairy
herd at Forest Grove farm, I have
taught great many heifers to milk.
When l say, II want the heifer to
put both feet in the pail when / sit
down to her the first time" it is a les
son from the school Of experience.
can get up then and rinse out my pail
and know what to expect next. The
heffer that acts like an old cow the
first time she is MIXED, has got to be
taught how to be MIXED sooner or
later. I would rather start the Job
right from the first Some of the best
cows | have ever milked were hard
propositions to start. On the other
hand, l have two or three cows in my
herd that were never heifers, nor
good cows to milk, either.
I thoroughly believe in treating the
young heifers kindly. Patience is in
valuable in accomplishing a good job.
However, sometimes it is very essen
t1al to impress upon the animals mind
that something is expected of her.
Discipline should always be admin
istered with good judgment, not to
destroy, but to teach the animal good
behavior. Never be in any hurry when
starting to teach the animal to milk.
She is new at the job. Some heifers
will stand better while eating, while
others will not. A great many times
heifer may be prevented from kick
ing by putting the arm against the
thigh. In one or two cases / have
used the kicking chain or the figure
eight with good results.

Established Fact That
Beauty Pays Dividends

A picturesque hotel in a little town
would be boon, instead of the usual
box-l1ke structure, but you may guess
that q picturesque hotel would cost
$4,000 more than the box-like struc-
turN. Why is beauty so expensive; !;
and why does ugliness save money
if it does?
That query is inserted advisedly,
says F. Fl. Collier, writing in the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat. What if the
picturesque hotel attracted wide at
tention; and the attention attracted
passing guests motoring through, who
spread its fame among Others and
presently the hotel required a new
wing for their accommodation and
then another wing?
And If its location fortunately was
happy one among trees, where it
added to it's charms, a fountain and
an old English garden and swim
ming pool, presently the picturesque
hotel would blossom out as a resort"
OF course, its chef as we'll as it's
manager must be a person Of good
taste and resource. In the end, prop
erly managed, beauty pays.

II 1EI1.HARII.)I = II
Ill !: ::ANINIs!
LEAF HOPPER IS
ALWAYS PRESENT

Grape leaf hOppers, tiny, greenish
insects, always present in greater or
less numbers in Vineyards occasion
ally do considerable damage to the
foliage and reduce the quality of the
fruit.
Most of the damage is done by over
wintering adult insects which, in the
early spring, feed largely on straw
berry and raspberry leaves, although
they are also found on blackberry,
currant, goOseberry, catnip, Virginia
creeper, burdock, beech and sugar
maple. Neglected fence rows, brush,
weeds, tall grass, ETC., furnish ideal
winter protection for the pests, and
vineyards in the neighbOrhood of such
places usually suffer most from leaf
hopper injury. The adults lay their
eggs on the grape vines and the young
hoppers hatch out in large numbers,
usually about the middle of June.
Cleaning up the alternating places
is one effective step toward combating
leaf hoppers, while very good results
have been secured from spraying for
the young hoppers with nicotine sui
phate in water or in bordeaux mix
ture. The nicotine is added at the
rate of / pint to 200 gallons 0 to
1900 of the spray mixture and must
be applied from below the vine as the
insects congregate on the young
shoots at the base of the vines Only
the young insects are reached by the
spray because the adult hoppers are
too active.
Chemical analyses of grapes from
sprayed and unsprayed vines showed
gain of from 8 to 68 per cent in the
sugar content of the grapes from the
sprayed vines over those from the un-
sprayed vines. Samples of unsprayed
grapes were analyzed which had as
much as 2O.6 per cent more acid than
the sprayed grapes.

Advanced Registry Now
Favored for Hog Raiser

A register of production for hogs is
again being advocated. This time by
II. G. Brant Of the swine department
at the Wisconsin College of Agricul-
ture. Sows, raising litters to weigh
a ton at six months, should be re-
corded by their various breeds asso-
Citations in his opinion.
Brant declares that this would be
a definite means of singing out high
producing strains, just as do the ad-
vanced registry associations of the
dairy breeds. AS a step in this direc-
tion he cited Indiana, which has
adopted the practice Of issuing a GER
tificate for each SOW in the state
which raises a ton litter. If the breed
associations adopt a similar system
great benefit will result to the in
dustry by bringing to limelight the
families among the different breeds
that are heavy producers Of pork.

Sunfowers Studied as
Feed for Dairy Cattle

Studies made by dairy cattle feed
ing specialists of the college of agri-
culture, University of Illinois, on the
composition and yield of sunflowers
showed that they produced about so
per cent more dry matter an acre than
silage corn grown nearby the same
season.
Not only did the sunfowers pro-
duce more dry matter an acre than
silage corn but also they yielded much
more ash, crude fiber and crude fat
than the corn. However, the corn pro-
duced much more nitrogen-free ex-
tract. Also the amounts of fertilizing
elements removed from the soil were
greater in the case of suntlowers than
they were in corn.
The studies showed that during the
development of the stalk portion Of
the plant, sunf1owers are quick grow
ing while corn is slow growing. The
reverse conditions are true during the
development of the seed. 1t was es-
tablished, therefore, that the sun
flower is inherently a stalk and crude
fiber crop and should be ensiled at an
early stage of growth.
