Sparrows and Pigeons
Disease Germ Carriers

Recent Investigations have deter
mined that sparrows and pigeons may
carry the avian or chicken type Of
tuberculosis from chickens to pigs or.
hogs and from an infected flock Of
chickens to nOninfected flock. The
sparrow or pigeon flies from infected
pens or fOcks to healthy flock and
cOntaminates the feed. There is also
strong circumstantial evidence that
sparrOws and pigeons can transmit
fowl cholera from infected to healthy
fiocks of chickens 1t is also possible
that they may transmit roup, sore
head and the larvae of different kinds
of worm parasites. It is also said that
sparrOws and pigeons carry or trans
NIT the virus on their feet.
No doubt chicken lice and mites are
transmitted from farm to farm by
pigeons and sparrOWs
Possibly pigeons cover greater areas
than sparrows, hence are more dan
gerous.
When possible prevent sparrows and
pigeons from feeding with farm ami
mails. Some one must discover a meth
cd of eradfcating sparrows; and when
pigeons are raised, bred and fed on
farms they should be kept to them
selves.

CAPONS
AND COCKERELS

With view to obtaining definite
figures showing the relative size and
rate of growth of capons and cocker
els, the author carried out expert
ments in 1919, at the Maryland agri-
cultural experiment station. Forty
two White Plymouth Rock cockerels,
all hatched on May % in the same
incubator, were divided into two
groups as nearly equal as possible, as
regard health and vigor On May 80,
one of the groups were caponized.
The two groups were kept entirely
separate, and their gain in weight and
the food they consumed were re-
corded.
Until October 1 both groups had ac-
cess to poultry yards measuring Is by
125 feet, and after that date they
were confined to open-front houses
Is by Is feet in size.
Until January 16 the following dry
mash was fed to both groups ad libi-
tum: Bran, 100 pounds, wheat mid
dlings, 100 pounds, beef scrap, 80
pounds, bone meal, pounds, salt, 1
pound. A mixture of white maize and
wheat was also given as a scratch
feed. From January II, the following
fattening ration was fed Maize
meal, 100 pounds, wheat middlings, 80
pounds, beef scrap, 20 pounds, lucerne
meal, 80 pounds, salt, 1 pound, and in
addition, wheat and yellow maize
were given twice daily.
From May %, 1919, to February Z,
1920, the average feed eaten (mash
plus grain), by the capons and cock
erels, respectively, was 6328 pounds
and 81 pounds, and the gains made

Give Cream for Butter
Most Careful Attention

Cream, like many other delicate
foods, is perishable and is very sus-
ceptible to fermentation and contami-
nation. Unclean, old, sour, stale
cream cannot be made into high-qual-
ity butter, the kind that sells readily
and brings top market prices.
Producers should know that the
two important factors, cleanliness in
handling and temperature cream is
held at, determine it's quality. All
milk utensils, including cream sepa-
rator, should be thoroughly cleaned
and scalded after each time they are
used. They should then be left in dry
clean surroundings and whenever
possible in the sunlight when they
are not in use.
For best results cream should be
cooled Immediately after it is
skinned to so degrees Fahrenheit or
lower if possible but not freezing be-
fore being mixed with cream from a
former skimming. 1t should be kept
at this temperature until sent to the
creamery.

Keep Heifer Growing to
Make Best Dairy Profit

Start them quick and keep them
growing, is the way to raise profitable
dairy heifers. This practice needs to
be stressed at this time of the year,
because heifers will soon be suffering
from short pastures and lackfof feed.
These short pastures and scanty feed
will slow up the growth Of the heifers
and, in some cases, actually stunt
them for life, thus cutting down their
efficiency as mature cows. Just as it
is important in economical' milk pro-
duction to have cows give a large flow
of milk so that there may be profit
left above the expense of keep, so it
is important to have heifers grow fast.
Only in this way can they use the
smallest percentage possible of their
feed for maintenance and the largest
amount possible for growth, which
means economy in their raising.

Duration of Service Of
Superior Breeding Boar

A boar should not be used in serv-
ice until eight or nine months old.
Until one year old he should only, be
used to a limited extent. Soon after
one year old he should be used with
much freedom in service, but, If
possible, not more frequently than
every other day.
t. The duration of service will de
pend, to some extent, upon the dis
position of the animal, upon the ex-
tent to which he has been used in
service, and upon his prepotency.
Vicious animals and Indifferent breed
ers cannotnngo too soon to the butcher,
while. superior breeding animals may
be kept as long as they show use
fulness.' 1t is not usual to keep boars
beyond the age of five years Re-
member, that excessive service al
ways leads to physical degeneracy
small animals and lack of .vigor in
the young pigs.

Reduce Stem Rust Harm
bY Eradicating Barherrv

Thirteen states are now co-operat-
ing with the federal bureau of plant
industry in, the eradication of the bar
berry as a means of controlling the
stem rust on grain. DR.. C. r. Ball, in
charge of cereal crops and diseases,
and Lind D. Hutton, associate patholo-
giSt, are now inspecting the barberry
eradication work in Michigan, Ohio,
Wisconsin, and several other states.
More than 100000 barberry bushes
have been destroyed in the thirteen
states affected since 1918, and it is
claimed by bureau specialists that
there has been a reduction in stem
rust damage over the entire area. The
largest number Of bushes have been
found in the Great lakes states. It
is said that they have caused a loss
on an average of 100000 bushels of
small grain because of rust damage.
The federal government and states
have spent during the last eight years
$2,56O,0O0 in barberry eradication
work.

Contact Sprays Destroy
Lice on Cucumber Plant

It is not usually very satisfactory
to do anything to combat the lice
which work on cucumbers and many
other plants, when they became very
numerous. About all that can be done
is to spray with some of the contact
poisons, such as insect powder, nico-
tine sulphate, Black Leaf 40 ETC.,
which can be obtained at a drug store.
AS q, general thing the insects called
lady bugs, of which there are several
kinds, keep the lice down to small
numbers, but once in while the lice
BECOME very abundant. If you use a
spray it must be done very thorough
ly and probably quite often, and even
then you may not save the plants be-
fore they are so much injured as to be
unable to produce a crop.

Skim Milk Made
Use of as Feed
Large Quantities Formerly
Wasted Now Converted
Into Nutriment.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Large quantities of skim milk for
merly wasted or ineficiently used are
being converted into a marketable
product by a number of companies
utilizing a process recently perfected
by the bureau of dairying, United
States Department of Agriculture. One
company has sold more than a million
pounds during the last year for poul-
try and hog feed. At Grove City, Pa,
this manufactured produet-concen-
trated sour skim milk-is made un-
der the direction of department dairy
Ing and sells at cents a pound, net
ting 62 cents a hundred pounds Of
skim milk.
How Process Works.
Briefly, the process consists Of the
use Of a culture containing myco-
derm, which is a yeastlike organism,
and3an active culture of the bulgari-
Gus type. When used in combination
they are able to develop more than
double the amount of acidity in the
skim milk produced by ordinary Tactic
cultures alone. The use Of this mixed
culture has made it possible to create
an acidity of 2 per cent in skim milk
which when concentrated at the rate
of 3 to l gives the finished product an
acidtty of 6 per cent. An acidity of 2
per cent removes: the difficulties for
merly experienced ing concentrating
skim milk in the vacuum pan, and 6
per cent acidity in the finished product
prevents spelling. The product has
been kept in good condition for more
than year.
Useful Poultry Feed.
Concentrated sour milk is a pasty,
semif1uid product. AS poultry feed it
is mixed with water or dry mash.
Good results are obtained with the
product when fed to baby chicks in a
dilution of 1 to 8; when fed to laying
hens either in paste form or in mix
ture of 1 pound Of paste to 1 pound
of dry mash; and when fed for crate
fattening at the rate of 40 pounds of
the paste to 100 pounds of mash.
The utilization of surplus skim milk
In manufacturing this concentrated
product promises a greater outlet to
the dairyman for his products and as

Young Poultry Especially
Susceptible to Disease

Turkeys, like other fowls, are sub
ject to roup, but when the greater part
of half-grown flock dies there is a
strong suspicion of something else
than rOup to be entertained, says the
Rural New Yorker. Young poults are
especially subject to blackhead and
cOccidiOsiS, two diseases which have
made it almost impossible to raise any
large number of turkeys on farms
where good-sized f1Ocks were formerly
reared without trouble. These dis
eases show themselves by dropping,
weakness in walking, gradual loss Of
flesh, more or less diarrhea, and finally
death. They attack young poults from
few weeks of age until maturity
Usually a few survive out of any flock,
but mature birds may also show
these troubles and die after having
become full grown.
There are two preventives that have
gained some reputation in the treat
ment of these diseases, but nothing
can be said to be anything like a GER
tain cure. Powdered catechu may be
given in the drinking water of the flock,
one teaspoonful being added to each
three gallons of water, this being done
for three days at time, with an in
terval of day or two between the
three-day periods. This is for coccidi-
osis. For blackhead, powdered ipecac,
one teaspoonful, in the mash for each
twenty birds, old and young. may be
given at intervals, beginning early.
The symptoms of these two diseases
are much alike.

Horticulture Hints


Raspberries should be set in rows 6
to s feet apart;
Many orchard trees would set no
fruit were it not for the bees which
pollenize the blossoms.
Apple growing requires more think
ing and planning perhaps than any
other line Of agricultural work. The
grower must think accurately, on time,
and ahead if he would succeed.
Judicious fertilization may be needed
because the grower cannot expect ap-
pie trees to grow well or to bear regu-
lar and profitable crops unless plenty
of plant food is supplied

Frequent delivery of cream is ad-

of time will not make first quality
butter and does not bring quality
