STAUNToN,. Va, June Apo
lice have engaged in an all.night
chase seeking q man who att
tempted to abduct q 1s.year-old
girl.
The girl. with two cadets from

in a car in Gypsy Hill Park when
a man approached the car with the
statement that he was park police
man and would have to take them

The man forced the trio to get

lice feel sure that they have the

T,B. DUE
LARGELY TO BIRDS
kept BEYOND Year
Good Idea Is Disposal Of Old
Hens, Then Keep Chicks
Oft Tainted Soil

Drastic disposal OF all old birds In
the flock Is the first step in getting
rid OF poultry tuberculosis" advises
DR.. Don McMahan. extension vcter-
marian OF North Dakota Agricultural
college. This disease generally at
fccts birds Over one year of age. cOn-
~scquently the mistake poultry raiscrs
arc making is to keep the same birds
III the flock for several years.
During the past year DR.. McMahan
visited localities scatterd widely over
the state and Is convinced that tuber-
culosis Is the most serious disease
enemy poultry raiscrs have to face.
His observations indicate that the
disease Is highly prevalent and that
a large percentage Of all the flockS
in the state arc badly infected.
Even when the disease has appar-
emily been overcome 1t is a bad policy
to keep old birds in the flock. for they
serve as a source Of infection to tho
young healthy ones.
But getting rid Of the diseased
poultry does not guarantee that there
will be no tuberculosis next year.
Young birds must be kept OIL clean
ground away from the contaminated
soil Of tho yards vcr which sick birds
have run for years. The most prac-
tical meanS Of doing this Is to move
the poultry out onto clean ground
and to keep them there. As the dis
ease is not transmitted to the chick
through the egg of a diseased hen,
there Is no objection to using the eggs
for Matching provided they are
Matched In an incubator and kept
from all contact with old chickens.
As tuberculosis In poultry Is the
most common source Of the same dis
ease In hogs. the Importance Of elm
mating 1t is made greater. Tubercu-
losis Is costing farmers money every
year in the form Of slow gains on
both hogs and poultry. Anyone in
doubt as to whether their birds have
this sickness need only to cut q few
Of the sick ones open, or better yet
send the sick bird to the veterinary
department Of the college for free
examination. NOdules In the liver,
spleen or intestines indicate the dis
ease. The signs Of tuberculosis are
lameness. loss Of weight, evere diar-
rhea and paleness of the combs and
WattleS.

mash FINE HEN DIET
FOR EGG PRODUCING
Fowls Require Easily Digested
Food if They Are to
Lay Regularly

"Hens are highly energetic and to
keep up their normal vitality during
egg production part Of their feed must
be Of an easily and quickly digestible
kind" declares w. G. Tully. extension
poultryman Of North Dakota Agricul-
tural college. He recommends a
properly balanced mash" feed for
getting the most eggs from laying
hens.
A mash Is q mixture Of ground
grain and grain by-products. animal
protein such as milk, with meat
scraps. or tankage, and minerals. The
amounts Of different materials in q
mash varies with the kind Of grain
most easily and cheaply available
the main idea being to use the feeds
grown on the farm and to properly
mix them with other egg-making
materials.
Before a hen an manufacture"
an egg she must have In her feed the
stuff" Of which eggs are made. For
instance, to make the white" Of the
egg q hen needs such feed as meat
scraps or tankage and milk or butter
milk. When she has to depend on
only what she can pick up here and
there. she slows up on her egg laying
or quits altogether. The mash is the
best method OF supplying hens with
part of the necessary egg material,
according to Mr.. Tully.
Likewise. the mash Is the most de-
sirabl. means Of providing bone-meal
and common salt which are the only
additional minerals needed when
oyster shell and grit arc kept before
laying hens. Directions for mixing
mashes may be secured from the
county agent or from. the poultry
department of the agricultural college.
