WOodlOt Seen as Real Farm Asset

Every farm in northeastern Min
nesota has possibilities of develop
ing woodlot, and to do so means
to add to the value of the farm and
to the assurance of an increased
farm income.
The foregoing fact was brought
out at Visitors Day at the Cloquet
Forest Experiment Station of the
University Department of Agri-
culture, Wednesday, July 9. It was
brought out by farmer, and in
such an impressive manner that
Dean w. G. Coffey, head of the
University's department of agricul-
ture, is calling the attention Of
farmers all over the state to it. The
farmer who discussed the subject
was Theodore Swenson, who owns
farm near Cloquet, and this is
what he said, as reported by Dean
Coffey himself:
II came into this country about
twenty-five years ago and settled
on the piece of land that is now my
farm. At that time all the settlers
were interested in getting the land
cleared up and for that reason a
match was pretty commonly used
by them. I looked my piece of
land over pretty carefully and de-
cided that there was part of it
that would be much better off if I
left it in trees, and so was pretty
careful in doing my clearing to see
that no fire got into that part of
the farm.
II don't think that there has been
any part Of the farm that has been
more productive and more helpful
than that woodlot. I located my
buildings by it, so that it serves as
a windbreak in winter and gives
us shade in summer.

Outlines Homemade RatiOns
for TURKEYS

A home-mixed balanced ration
for turkeys is described by w. A.
Billings in the July number of his
Turkey News Letter, distributed
by the agricultural extension divis-
ion of the University of Minnesota
The ration is composed of equal
parts by weight of cornmeal,
ground oats, wheat mids, wheat
bran, and meat scraps. To this may
be added a few pounds of charcoal
and bonemeal. In addition to this
is fed a scratch feed consisting Of
two parts corn or barley and one
part wheat. Both of these are fed
in self-feeders.
DR.. Billings makes other sugges-
tions for the care of turkeys thru
the summer. He advises the use of
a ten-gallon cream can filled with
milk or water and inverted in a
small pan as a drinking fountain.
He says that whole or skimmilk,
sweet or sour, may be used in
such a fountain. He adds that if it
is difficult to keep the milk sweet,
it should all be sour, and that this
may be fed to the limit of the farm
er's supply, with no water. He ad-
vises against attempting to worm
birds which are less than half
grown with either kamala or nico-
tine sulphate capsules, and advises
the use of brooder house placed
300 yards from the farm buildings.
For protection against lice, he sug-
gests the use of sodium fluoride in
small pinches on several places of
the birds body.

nesota State Medical Association

nesota State Medical Association
presents brief authoritative re-
view of the progress of the new
science of immunology whose gos-
pei is protection from disease, par
ticularly for children, rather than
cure after damage is done. Follow
ing, according to this review, is an
authoritative estimation of the ad-
visibility and use of the available
agents of immunization.
Vaccination against small pox
and immunization by toxin anti-tox
in or, preferably, a chemical modi-
fication called toxoid are funda-
mental and necessary to the safety
of every child, the bulletin asserts.
The doctor should use them for the
protection of his patients as a mat
ter of routine duty just as he would
treat his patients for pneumonia or
nephritis.
Both should be administered in
the first year of the child's life
and most certainly before he is al
lowed to go to school where expos
ure is likely.
An anti-toxin against scarlet few
er has been discovered too, the bull
letin says. It is of use in the treat
ment of severe attacks of the di-
sease but not, at the present stage
of knowledge about it's effect, to be
recommended as general i'm
munizing measure comparable to
the diptheria toxoid.
Up to the present time the exact
organism that causes measles has
not been discovered. It has been
definitely demonstrated, however,
that blood serum from a patient
who has just recovered from meas
les will prevent another from hav-
ing the disease for a period of few
weeks provided it is administered
not more than four days after ex-
posture. The difficulty of obtaining
the proper serum as well as the
fieeting character of the immunity
conferred makes this procedure diff
ficult and often impracticable. A
better practical measure is recon-
mended by the bulletin for assisting
the child to acquire his own i'm
munity. A serum from one Of his
parents or another adult who has
had the disease and developed an
immunity in his own blood can be
safely administered. It will not
prevent the child from having the
measles. But it will so modify it
