Coccidiosis Is Common
Malady of Young Chicks

"Too much emphasis cannot be CIV

said DR.. J. F. Billiard, Of Purdue uni

Of poultry" he continued, .'and 1t is
responsible for heavy losses in young
birds from two to fifteen weeks of age.
'aThe coccidium, which is the cause
Of the disease is passed in large num-
bers in the droppings. For a short
time after they are passed out, COO

the body with water or feed. It is
quite obvious, if young chicks are Civ
en- clean brooders and If the br6oders
are kept clean, runs and lots have
not been used for poultry during the
past year or several months, that this
disease can be controlled. Chicks and
young birds should be kept apart from
the adult breeding flock"

He opened homes where children

a home for babies, and hospital

Within the last ten or twelve years
asparagus has become perhaps the
most important of all the perennial
vegetable crops in this country and
one of the most valuable early truck
crops, the United States Department
of Agriculture says.
Between 1918 and 1928 the aspara-
gus acreage of the country increased
from $4,000 acres to 94,930 acres.
More than 95 per cent Of this acreage
Is in the six states, California. New
Jersey, South Carolina, Georgia, nli-
nois and Maryland. More than half
Of 1t is In California alone. About
half the asparagus is grown for fresh
consumption and half for canning.

Lies Seamy Side Seen

The traveller who does not want to
miss one Of the most unusual spec
tacles in all of France, and one which
may not last many years longer, says
magazine, the Ocean Ferry, must
60 out some Sunday to Saint Ouen, in
the old military zone Of Paris, when
the famous flea market is in opera
tion. s
Here, on cleared land which once
held the old Notifications that guard
ed the city of Paris, and which is
still under the Jurisdiction Of the
military authorities, the homeless
poor Of the city long ago set up
wretched empire of novels and here
they have held sway for many years,
eking out wretched existence with
ragpicking and junk-collecting and
kindred lowly occupations and hold
ing, every Sunday, a gigantic rum
mage sale picturesque, colorful and
sordid.
Here the human wreckage Of Paris
buys secondhand clothing and house;

Here are set forth for sale many
brushes, toothless combs, ancient Vic
trola records, discarded family por-
traits, fantastic bric-a-brac, toy, emp
fty picture frames. stuffed dogs
anything and everything that has
seen better days and been cast off.
To this shoddy bazaar come the poor
working man and his wife, tramns
and in fact all the unfortunates of
Paris to look and to buy, and to it
also come tourists to see this tragic
comic spectacle and to seek hope
fully for some unrecognized treasure
which may have found its way to the
junk heap.

Large Potato Yield on
PENNSYLVANIA State Farm

The state hospital at Allentown,
Pa, has one of the best farms in
: the country. What its scientific man
agement costs is more than made up
by the fine crops. Its yield Of potatoes
last season was something phenomenal.
On single measured acre this farm
produced sos bushels of potatoes, while
on % acres there was a yield far
above the country's average. The
seed used for this wonderful yield
was obtained in northern Michigan
and was of the rnsset variety. To
prepare the land at Allentown soy
beans and seven tons per acre Of barn
yard fertilizer were plowed under in
the fall and $50 pounds of commercial
fertilizer was applied on each acre
in the row. A fertilizer heavy with
phosphate and potash was adopted.

Succulent Feeds Full
of Necessary VitaminS

There was time when all vegetables
were classed as green feed in the
hens ration. We now know that man.
gels, apples, pumpkin pulp and sugar
beet pulp may have some value as a
bulky and appetizing suceulent feed
but cannot be classed as green feed.
Carrots have been found to contain
vitamins which make them very close
to green feed in the ration of the hen.
Some poultrymen find that hens which
eat carrots are apt to produce eggs
with rich yellow yolks and such eggs
seem to have high percentage Of
hatchability in the spring.
Some feeds that are both succulent
and full Of necessary vitamins are the

When fields are too stony or too poor

Comparatively Easy to
Raise Healthy Chicks

Lyman G. Neel, extension poultry
specialist at Clemson college, South
Carolina, points out that poultry and
well developed pullets can be raised
only if proper attention is paid to the
details of poultry culture.
In order to make it comparatively
easy to raise healthy chicks, Neel sets
down seven essentials for growing
healthy chicks. The seven points in
the chick raising program consist Of
the following practices:
/. Start with vigorous, disease-free
chucks.
2. Hatch chicks at proper season.
8. Use clean range, separate from
mature flock.
4. Use clean portable house with
dependable brooder.
5. Use clean, well-balanced feed.
6. Separate cockerels and pullets
at broiler age.
z. Brood each hatch separately.

The public, long advised against
''buying pig in poke" can now dis
regard that bit of warning; that is,
If the poke happens to be one Of the
new cotton bags with the 'show-win-
dow" feature, recently devised by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, in cooperation with the North
Carolina State College Of Agriculture
and Engineering.
Suitable for Farm Products.
The new bag is a result OF the de-
partment's search for new uses for
cotton. It is now being offered to the
trade in small sizes suitable for pack
aging potatoes, onions and other
farm products for sale to the retail
customer. The bag is woven in one
piece Of cloth. but one side is Of very
open mesh so that the contents may
be seen readily by the buyer. The
other side of fine mesh permits the
printing Of the brand.
This duplex" bag saves the retail
grocer the time necessary to weigh
each individual order. It also pre-
vents customers from picking over
the produce. This bag is more adapted
to the ready package in many in
stances than is paper bag, and when
the bag is empty, the housewife can
rinse the sizing out Of it and use it
as dust cloth.
Promises to Be Popular.
The new bag was produced and put
into use too late last season to be
used as a container for very large
volume Of farm produce. The attrac-
tiveness of the package, however, and
the fact that bags made from this
"duplex" material can compete with
other bags in price are two of the
features which promise to make 1t
popular during the coming year in
packaging farm products for the con-
sumner.

Making Profit or Loss

used as a standard of measurement
in determining the profitableness Of
cattle feeding, This method is salts

Of farms on which cattle are fed feed

Individual narrowing
Pens Favored for Sows

Sows that farrow in March or April
should be placed in individual pens
at least six by eight feet In size at
least day or two before they far
row. These pens should be equipped
with "guard rails around the walls
to protect the pigs from the SOW when
she lies down. The narrowing pens
should be lightly bedded with short,
clean, chaffy straw so that the small
pigs cannot get tangled up in 1t and
be unable to get out of the way of
the sow when she moves and lies
down as is likely to be the case If too
much long straw is used. Enough
artificial heat should be- provided to
take the chill off the building and to
dry up the moisture in it.

Emergency Hay Crops

In considering emergency hay crops
for this year it is well to remember
that oats, wheat, soy beans, and other
crops can be used. Using last years
meadows for hay again this year is
another possibility, even if 1t does
upset the rotation. In most cases a
heavy yield can be expected If the
field is fortified early in the spring.

British Kings Civil List

The income of the king of Great
Britain is known as the civil list and
the amount is decided, usually, at
the beginning of each reign. The
present civil list was determined by
parliament in 1910 when George v
assembled the throne. 1t is an annual
appropriation of $4,000, or $2,2S4,-
600. which goes to maintain the roy
al household, including the upkeep
of the palace. the salaries Of the
servants and functionaries and "roy-
al bounties." The actual amount re-
ceived from the civil list for the
personal expenses of the king and
the queen probably does not exceed
the salary of an American cabinet
officer. In addition, however, the
king receives some income from the
duchy of Lancaster. of which he is
the duke.-Pathfinder Magazine.
