The gizzard worm, one of a general class of roundworms. Is also serious because It attacks the walls of the gi ..ard and interferes with the food grinding function. "Control measures tc check Inroads of parities on poultry flocks, says Doctor Cram, consist largely In sanitary equipment and management of floiks in suh a way that the life cyde of parasites Is broken so that infection cannot get bark to the fowls. Irompt disposal of droppings from poultry houses, plowing up or scraping off the top soil of clihken yards, the use of a rotati a system of yards, the judicious use of disinfectants, and providing sanitary feed and water containers, are among some of the practical means of prevention. Cven though poultry raising has been highly successful. It Is unwise to relax precautions against parasitic foes of poultry By Increased attention and knowledge, the ravages of parasite enemies may be checked and poultry given a better chance. three-fourth- Buckwheat Is Too Dense for Use as Nurse Crop FINNEY OF THE FORCE Sncop Wont Be Shunted Bin kw heat grows too densely and Is too heavily leaved to he a satis Sweet clover factory nurse crop. sown with It would be choked hack badl.v ni.d probably would not make a good stat'd The sweet clover woul do much better If sown with a nurse crop of turley or early oats.

The poster shows also a typical advanced case of a scabby sheep and likewise a calf affected with scabies. Urging stock owners to Isolate and report suspected cases to the nearest veterinarian, the poster explains that the disease can be eradicated by dipping in lime sulphur or nicotine solution. At least two dippings, 10 to 12 days apart, of all Infected and exposed animals are necessary for a cute.

In many cases, there are not enough Insects under natural con ditions to Insure a full set of fruit. Tests made at tlie M. S U.
