What Chickens Eat
Affect Their Eggs
A Ration Rich in Vitamins Produces
Eggs Also Rich i'm Vitamins.

Eggs from chickens fed ration full
of vitamins A and D are better food
than eggs from chickens fed rations
less rich in these vitamins, according
to the results of recent research avail
able to the department of poultry hus-
bandry at the Ohio State university.
Recent experiments indicate, says
the department, that the amount of
vitamin A and d supplied to the birds
is directly reflected in the vitamin
content of the eggs produced. Thus.
in feeding his hens to maintain their
health, the poultryman is feeding for
eggs of better quality and more worth.
A ration for hens rich in vitamins
would contain yellow corn, alfalfa
leaf meal, or high grade cod liver
oil.
Vitamin d prevents ricketts, and as
sists with the building of bone. Vita
min A builds resistance to diseases and

FERTILIZING ALFALFA

So much is said about alfalfa get
ting it's nitrogen from the air that
its mineral requirement is frequently
overlooked. As matter of fact, al
falfa is one of the most exhaustive
crops as far as mineral fertility is
concerned A four ton crop of alfalfa
hay removes twice as much phosphor-
us as a thirty bushel wheat crop, or
somewhat mere than is contained in
both the grain and stover of a seven
ty-fve bushel corn crop. In potash
removal, four tons of alfalfa hay is
equivalent to over 500 bushels Of po-
tatoes, or thirty tons of cabbage. Poor
growth and vigor of alfalfa is fire.
quently due to phosphate or potash
starvation. Few crops respond so
profitably to adequate fertilization as
does alfalfa.
A good time to fertilize alfalfa is
right after the first cutting. The fer
tilizer can be broadcast, and then
disced or narrowed in. The cultiva-
ton will not injure the alfalfa, but on
the contrary, may be beneficial in re-
ducing or eliminating grass. Not less
than 200 pounds per acre of fertil-
izer high in phosphate and potash is
recommended. On soils that are par
ticularly potash deficient, larger appli-
cations may be necessary.

Sheep Scab Now
Prevalent In Ohio


as scab, is now prevalent in Ohio,
chiefly in the western part of the
state, according to DR.. Alvin Broer-
man, of the Animal Disease Control
Laboratory of the Ohio Experiment
Station, at Reynoldsburg. A number
Of the reported outbreaks have re-
suited from contact Of healthy with
diseased sheep at community sales.
The common sheep scab has been
known since ancient times and is one
Of the most injurious diseases affect
ing sheep. 1t is easily transmitted
from one sheep to another and spreads
very rapidly after being introduced
into a flock. The diseases is caused by
a small parasite known as a mite,
which lives on the skin The mite is
unable to propagate except on the
bodies Of sheep; however, it as well as
its larva and eggs, will survive for 2
months or longer when removed from
the natural host. Thus, animals may
also be infected indirectly by placing
them in stables and pastures previous
~ occupied by diseased sheep.
When the mites find lodgment on
sheep they make small wounds in the
skin and as the parasites multiply the
infestation is manifested by itching,
The sheep scratch and gnaw them
selves and rub against objects or 9th
er members Of the flock. This rubbing
and gnawing soon loosens the wool on
the affected parts and single locks of
wool appear over the surface of the
fleece On parting the wool small
yellow or reddish ncdules will be OBJ
served on the skin. As the disease
advances the small spots unite to form
larger areas which then become COW
cred with yellow crusts or scabs. In
short sheep the scabs are brown in
color. The rubbing, biting, and
scratching aggravate the inflamed
areas and finally the skin appears
greatly thickened and stiff and may
crack.
Common sheep scab yields readily to
treatment and can be exterminated by
proper dipping or washing with fluids
which will kill the mites. To eradi-
cate the disease from flock all of the
animals must be dipped, preferably in
warm weather. The dipping usually
consists in immersing the sheep in
properly prepared solutions of lime
and sulfur or nicotine and sulfur. Ar
senical, cresol, and tobacco dips are
sometimes used to eXterminate the
mites. Two dippings 10 to IA days
apart are necessary.
Sheep owners should observe their
flocks carefully for symptoms OF
seabies and report all suspected eases
to their veterinarian or directly to The
Division Of Animal Industry, Ohio De-
partment Of Agriculture, Columbus.

Climbing CutwOrms

Many orchardists in northern and
northeastern Ohio are now experienc-
ing their first trouble with climbing
cutworms, according to c. II. Outright
associate entomologist of the Ohio Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station. The
presence of these insects usually is
first indicated by missing leaves and
blossoms, particularly in the top and
inside of the tree. Frequently, only a
portion of leaf or Of a flower clus-
ter is devoured, with the result that
the remainder presents ragged or
"chewed" appearance.
Different species of cutworms have
the climbing habit, but most of those
taken this season are the well-marked
cutworm. This species also attacks
plants in the usual cutworm fashion,
but once attracted by tasty foliage, it
adopts the climbing habit. Feeding
occurs only under cover of darkness,
and as day approaches the worm de-
scends the tree and hides in the soil
or under litter on the ground. AS
many as $50 worms have been taken
under single tree in northeastern
Ohio
At this season the worms are near
ing maturity and will soon enter the
soil for pupation, from which stage
they will emerge as moths during
June and July.
Effective control consists of two
fold measure: banding the trees and
poisoning the worms. For the latter,
a poison bran mash made according
to the following formula is effective.

bran and mixed thoroughly. Apply
thinly about the base of the tree in
the evening.
The bran mash alone is not effec-
tive, but when applied in connection
with bands it works very we'll Bands
of two materials may be used. One
of fluffed cotton is very effective in
dry weather, but with rain it mats
down and the worms can crawl over
it. Tree tanglefoot makes an effective
band in all weather and the only OBJ
lection to it is the cost. A band of it,
however, need only be about an inch
wide and very thin on the trunk Some
crchardists favor the bands alone
without poison, but if distinct damage
is being done a combination of both
treatments is recommended
