TUBERCULOSIS IS
BEING REDUCED

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Carrying the campaign Of eradicat-
ing animal tuberculosis to areas where
it is very strongly intrenched is one of
the newer developments in the nation
wide program to rout the disease.
A survey just completed by the bureau
Of animal industry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, shows the
aggressive action taken by many coun-
ties
The eradication of tuberculosis un-
der the "area" plan is now being con-
Quoted in "a of the SO counties hav-
ing more than Is per cent of tuber-
culOsis infection among cattle, and in
81 Of 165 counties containing cattle
that are tuberculous to the extent of
more than per cent but not more
than Is per cent Thus about one
third of the most badly infected coun-
ties have eradication work under way.
Two of the counties, formerly very
seriously affected, have already re-
duced the infection to 0.5 per cent or
less and are in the modified accred
tied area" class.
There are 241 counties in the coun-
try where tuberculosis among cattle
exists to the extent Of more than 3
per cent and up to per cent. Of
these counties SO are conducting area
work to eradicate the disease and 8
of them already have qualified as mod
flied accredited areas. The work Is
also going forward rapidly in the more
lightly infested areas where sentiment
strongly favors eradicating the dis
ease before it becomes more serious.
At the beginning of 1925 the list of
modified accredited areas totaled 149
counties, thus indicating excellent
progress toward the conquest Of dis
ease.

DIFFERENT CAUSES
FOR POOR HATCHES

Many small factors in the manage
ment Of the flock can often affect the
results which are attained in Matching
eggs. With the present development
of the incubators the expert operator
Is usually able to secure good results
If the original Matching quality of the
eggs is satisfactory. In the large
hatcheries it is often observed that
different trays of eggs run side by side
will show a marked difference in the
number of chicks Matched. The rea-
son for this difference lies in the orig
nal eggs.
Some Of the factors that help to
secure satisfactory eggs for Matching
are as follows:
Mature breeding stock. The usual
age agreed upon is nine months Many
prefer females in their second year.
Plenty of male birds. Many sup
ply one cockerel to ten hens, but the
majority agree that one cockerel to
ifteen hens is sufficient with the light
breeds.
Remove diseased birds from the
flock.
Birds which are otherwise confined
should be given an outside runway
when it is possible to do so without
endangering the health Of the birds.
Direct sunlight should strike the
birds.
Birds should be comfortably housed.
Floors should be covered with a lit
ter of straw and changed whenever it
shows any indication Of dampness,
mustiness or filth.
Artificial light should not be used
to stimulate laying for 60 days pre-
vious to date of saving first eggs for
Matching.
A balanced ration Of approximately
equal portions Of scratch feed and
mash should be furnished.
The hens should be supplied with
some type of green feed such as man
gels or sprouted oats as well as hop
pers filed with oyster shell and grit.
Regularity and good care for a
month or six weeks prior to saving
Of eggs as well as during the period
Of saving Of eggs for Matching, COM
bined with the above essentials,
should produce eggs which will hatch
high per cent of live chicks.

Big Value of Soy Beans
for Production of Milk

In some Of the recent experiments
reported from the South Dakota ex-
pertinent station, ground soy beans
were found to be similar in effect
in the ration to linseed meal, and of
somewhat greater value for milk
production. SOy-bean hay was found
to be more valuable for milk pro-
duction than alfalfa hay. The ground
soy beans do not appear to have any
effect on the quality Of butter when
fed in reasonable quantities, al
though with some cows they tended to
increase the percentage of butter fat.
Since the development of oil fac
tories in Illinois, the feeding of soy
bean cake from which the oil has been
extracted is likely to be considered
more practicable than the feeding of
the whole ground soy bean.

Fertilizers Effect
Earliness Of Crops
Better Than Manure Alone
for Garden Truck.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A combination Of manure and COM
mercial fertilizer Is better for pro-
duction of market garden crops than
very heavy applications Of stable
manure alone, as cOnclusively shown
by experiments at the Rhode Island
experiment station. These expert
ments, reported in Bulletin No. 1875,
have been carried on for several years
for the purpose of finding a suitable
substitute for the diminishing supply
Of stable manure in or near cities and
towns.
AS an average for six years the
Rhode Island tests show that the
manure and commercial fertilizer
combination produced AZ per cent
more cabbage, 60 per cent more beets,
30 per cent more ripe tomatoes (67
per cent more ripe in first six pick
ings), 80 per cent more spinach, 40
per cent more lettuce and 13 per cent
more celery.
In the Rhode Island tests, as in
similar tests elsewhere the effect Of
fertilizers on quality and earliness
has been shown to be very appreciable
often as valuable as the increase
in yield itself. This is especially
true with tomatoes and other market
garden crops which command a very
high price in the earlier days Of their
market season
People living in or near cities who
have bemoaned the shortage Of stable
manure can take renewed hope and
interest in their gardens, whether for
home or commercial use, in this knowl-
edge that at least half Of the usual
manure treatment can be prof1tably
replaced with commercial plant food
with probable increase in yields, Inn
provement in quality and earlier bear
ing.

Sunshine Sweet Corn

Sunshine sweet corn planted on
July II at the North Dakota Agricul-
tural college experiment station gar
den, Fargo, produced fine, large roast
ing ears for the table on September
16. Sunshine is a variety Of sweet
corn that was developed at the North
Dakota experiment station to fill the
needs Of an early maturing variety Of
corn for the northern states. 1t is
about the same in quality as the Ban
tam sweet corn variety, but has nearly
double the size Of the Bantam.

Poultry Notes

Teach birds to roost early-prevents
crowding.
Put young chicks in clean house on
fresh ground.
Rest chicks in boxes for few hours
before putting into broOder.
Have brooder house ready before
the chicks arrive
Segregate cOckerels from pullets as
soon as possible. Keep forcing pull
lets along with mash, even when on
range.
Look out for Overheated brooders
and brOOder house fires. Make an in
spection of all annaratus regularly
and take no chances.

Dairy Houses Separate
From Other Structures

Every farm should have a suitable
place in which to handle and care for
milk. Milk ordinances and sanitary
regulations of boards of health in
many communities require that milk
houses or spring houses be part of
the regular dairy equipment. Milk
or dairy houses separate from other
buildings give the best satisfaction.
Extension Circular 1O7, which tells
how to build them, will be mailed
free by the Pennsylvania State college,

cultural publications office of that In

FARM NOTES

A way to kill chicks; give them
moldy feed.
Chicks should be kept on the grow
ing ration until they are well estab-
ushed physically.
Plant one acre of pasture for each
two animal units on the farm. One
cow, one horse, five hogs, seven sheep,
or twice as many Of the young Of each
class, comprises an animal unit.
Housing, feeding, breeding, and
brooding are the four problems faced
by every poultryman. One Of the i'm
portant rules for securing a profit in
poultry raising Is to feed balanced ra-
lions.
Ground oats do not make q satisfac-
tory feed for chicks unless the hulls
are sifted out. This is usually too
much trouble and mill feeds in the
shape of bran and middlings can be
purchased cheaper.
In feeding chicks, never overfeed or
feed an amount so that there is feed
left that may spoil or become musty.
Success in chicks is in keeping them
growing and developing and this Is
brought about usually by feeding little
and often Of the grain feeds.

Grain for Cows on Grass

Many feeders fail to observe that
cattle are not receiving an adequate
ration when running on pasture Even
those who do comprehend that the pas
ture is too short, often fail to supply
extra feed because 1t Is not prepared
and the pressure Of the seasons work
causes them to neglect their cows. It
would seem that when the pastures
are dry, the weather hot, and flies pes
tering the cows, silage supplemented
with some good legume hay is quite as
essential as it is In the dead of winter.

Turkeys With Diarrhea

Diarrhea is one of the prominent
symptoms Of blackhead in turkeys,
though it may also occur from other
blackhead is present when diarrhea
appears and the turkeys begin to drop
dead, one by one. as the disease pro-
crosses. No remedy of any consider
able value has yet been found for this
trouble. Each turkey may be given
dose Of castor oil, one to two tea
spoonfuls, when any looseness of the
bowels appear. This will clear out any
Irritating matter.

most black. But Pines hair was light
er in color.
Pines real name was Philip, but
the children had always called him
Pine. In school and by many boys
he was called Phil, but the children
who were expecting him to dinner al
ways called him Pine
1t made him so much more their
friend to have a name Of their own
for him.
Pine was the kind you really want
ed for friend. Once he was your
friend he was always your friend.
Both Pine and Annette were won
derful children. 1t was not that they
were so good that they weren't nat
uraI.
But they had such nice qualities.
They were so generous and so will
ing to share what they had with
everyone else.
In fact they never kept anything
OF their own very long for they were
so ready and eager to share.
They were so generous and they
were so loyal to their friends and
they always wanted to do what they
could for everyone.
They had the really wonderful quail
tiles.
And they were great fun, too.
Well, you can imagine how nice
1t was to think that they were COM
ing to dinner.
The children thought about it all
the day before the one when they
would come and all that next day
until it was almost time for them to
arrive.
There was going to be a fine din
ner, too. At Annette's and Pines
house every one always got such gor-
geous dinners and such fine suppers
and such nice tea parties and all
sorts of parties.
But the children had asked their
mother for an especially nice dinner
on account of their guests.
So they were going to have soup
and biscuits and roast beef and lima
beans and mashed potatoes.
They were going to have celery and
homemade currant jelly and home
made pickles.
And they they were going to have
homemade ice cream and homemade
cake.
Chocolate ice cream was the flavor
the children had decided upon.
Afterwards they would have hard
candies and they they would play

Substitutes for Calves

While milk is the natural and the
best food for calves good ones can
be raised on milk substitutes, espe-
cially If whole milk is fed for a few
days and the calves are then gradual
ly shifted over to the substitute dur,
ing several weeks-that Is given
little less milk each day with 1t. Even
when plenty of skim milk is fed, these
commercial meals are very good as the
grain ration that a skim milk calf
should always have.

Improvement of Flock

One of the most economical methods
of improvement of the poultry flock is
by the purchase of a few settings of
Matching eggs. From these may be
raised a few females and enough
breeding males to head the flock dur
ing the succeeding year. Care should
be taken to make sure that the. stock
from which one is purchasing eggs is
superior to his own.

Live Stock Notes

If good strong litters Of pigs are
to be expected brood sows must have
other feed than corn.
When sows are carrying litters, they
need large amounts of protein and
muscle and BODYBUILDING feeds.
Tankage is a very highly protein
concentrate, which is fed to furnish
the protein to balance up hog rations

New Bedford Police
Without Clues in
Finding Body Woman

New Bedford, Mass, Apr. 13.-[P
-Considerabl mystery surrounds
the finding early today in North
Fairhaven of the body of Miss Leda
Deschamps of Thomas street. Fall
River, and late tonight the New
Bedford police admitted that they
had been able to make but little
Roadway in their investigation.
1t was II hours after the body
was discovered, lying partially con-
cealed in the brush by the side OF
a seldom used road, before it was
identified. New Bedford police
checked up the fact that the wom-
an, who was married and had two
children, had been boarding at 1915
Purchase street, this city, for sew
eral weeks.
An autopsy will be performed on
the body tomorrow by Medical Ex-
aminer Daniel P. O'Brien, who stat
ed tonight that he would report i'm
mediately to the district attorney
any facts he learned as to the cause
Of the woman's death.
There were no marks on the body
to indicate the cause of deathsand
no certainty that she did not meet
her end from natural causes. The
police probe has been occasioned,
however, by the location where the
woman's body was found, miles
away from either her home in Fall
River or boarding place in this city.

DROP MANN ACT
CHARGES AGAINST
Ex-NARCOTIC CHIEF

Boston. April 13.-(P]-Dr. Edwin
c. Ruth. former chief of the New Eng
land division of the federal narcotic
service, ceased to be a fugitive from
justice today. Charges on which he
was held here on Washington, D. c.,
and Kansas City indictments for viola
ton of the Mann act, were dropped for
lack of prosecution, and he prepared
to return to Montreal, where he now
conducts theatrical booking agency.
, The offices of the United States at
torney gave no explanation of the ac-
ton in releasing Ruth other than the
statement that the prosecution had
been abandoned in both the jurisdic-
tions in which he had been indicted.
Ruth, arrested here last Friday as he
stepped from a Montrcal-Boston train,
had been in Jail since in default of
$4,000 bail.
Several years ago he was tried at
Portland for selling narcotics and Miss
May Cookson Of Needham, a narcotic
agent on his staff, left the state be-
fore she was to have complained to
federal authorities that Ruth was
travelling about the country with his
daughter. Miss Cookson returned
some time ago to her home in Need
ham.
The former narcotic chief sal dhe
was willing to return to Washington
for trial but announced that he would
fight efforts to remove him to Kansas
City. The United States attorneys
office communicated with both Wash
ington and Kansas City and today tel
egrams were received stating that
prosecution in both cities had been
dropped.
