Toung poults are especially subject to blackhead and cocddlosls, two diseases which have made It almost Impossible to raise any large number of turkeys on farms where good-sizeflocks were formerly reared without trouble. These diseases show themselves by drooping, weakness In walking, gradual loss of flesh, more or less diarrhea, and finally death. They attack young poults from a few weeks of age until maturity. Usually a few survive out of any flock, but mature birds may also show these troubles and die after having become full grown. There are two preventives that have gained some reputation In the treatment of thee diseases, but nothing can be said to be anything like a certain cure. Powdered catechu may be given In the drinking water of the flock, one teaspoonful being added to each three gallons of water, this being done for three days at a time, with an In. terval of a day or two between the three-da- y periods. This Is for coccldl-oslFor blackhead, powdered Ipecac, one teaspoonful In the mash for each twenty birds, old and young, may be given at Intervals, beginning early. The symptoms of these two diseases are much alike. d s. Poultry Facts The Importance of strong, vigorous chicks cannot be overestimated.

The poultry house need not be expensive or elaborate but must be roomy, well ventilated and convenient There are general rules for feeding, but sudden changes In weather, extreme cold or heat, or wind will make some change In the needs of the chickens. The age and breed of the laying flock also has Its Influence on feeding, see Some people cull their flocks quite successfully by selling those that are the last to leave the roost In the morning. Blackhead Is the most fatal turkey disease. Parasites causing It are carried by chickens, therefore keep the young "lurks and the chicks apart Male chicks grow foster than the females, and as early as two weeks of age there Is a significant difference In the rate of growth between the sexes.

"With n e car and' good roads I would get somewhere, and get s lot more of comfort and enjoyment than the man with the big limousine and no road. "Of course," he added, "It la not necessary to go to either extreme. But I think vte should always try to maintain the right ratio between road expenditures and car expenditures. We are spending about $30,000,000 for roads la Minnesota this year, and about a billion in the United States aa a whole, Including state, county, town and municipal road work. That la a lot of money, , "But the people of the United States spent about $4,000,000,000 for 0 new cars and trucks In 1924, for parts, $675,000,000 for replacement tires, $2,100,000,000 for fuel and lubricants and $910,000,000 for service labor. Add garage storage costs, Insurance, registration and gaa taxes and other Incidentals, and you soon have $10,0(0,000,000, so that our road cost Is only 10 per cent of our total motor bill. "Ten per cent for road and 90 per cent for rolling stock and operation would make a railroad man laugh out loud. The roads reporting to the Minnesota railroad commission spent for road betterments and $125,153,007 for equipment In 1924. In 1923, they spent $60,676,352 for road and $108,178,031 for equipment In 1922 they spent $32,009,010 for road and $37,425,854 for equipment In other words, 35 ier cent of the money they spent for betterments went Into the roadbed and 65 per cent into rolling stock and other equipment "Or take the operating expenses. The large railroads spent In Minnesota In 1924, $18,377,201 for maintenance of way and structures, for maintenance of equipment and $52,863,454 for transportation. Here the part spent for maintenance of the road was 18.8 per cent "But If you go back to the original Investment, the (froportion spent for road Is much greater. Ten of the large roads on which tentative valuation has been completed by the Interstate Commerce commission have an Investment of $416,940,CG3 In road and permanent structures in Minnesota and $125,534,575 In equipment, or 23.14 per cent for equipment and 76.86 per cent for road. With a liberal allowance for de- predation, the 565,719 motor vehldea In Minnesota have a present value ot at least $300,000,000. If we had Invested $3.33 in 'track' for each dollar i.ivested In rolling stock,' as the railroads have, we should have a billion Invested In Minnesota roads. That would pave every mile of trunk highway aud 26,000 miles of other roads. "I am ahead of time, I know. But I am Just trying to show tlmt our road expenditures, Which seem large at first glance, are small In proportion to whut we spend for vehicles." d Until January 16 the following dry mash was fed to both groups ad libitum: Bran, 100 pounds, wheat middlings, 100 pounds, beef scrap, 80 pounds, bone meal, 5 pounds, salt, 1 pound. A mixture of white maize and wheat was also given as a scratch feed. From January 17, the following fattening ration was fed : Maize meal, 100 pounds, wheat middlings, 50 pounds, beef scrap, 20 pounds, lucerne meal, 80 pounds, salt, 1 pound, and In addition, wheat and yellow maize were given twice dally. From May 28, 1919, to February 7, 1920, the average feed eaten (mash plus grain), by the capons and cockerels, respectively, was 63.28 pounds and 62 pounds, and the gains made were 6.66 pounds and 5.66 pounds.

Turkeys, like other fowls, are in every WITHOUT HIGHWAY With a view to obtaining definite figures showing the relative size and rate of growth of capons and cocker els, the author carried out expert ments in 1919, at the Maryland agricultural experiment station. Forty two White Plymouth Rock cockerels, all hatched on May 28 In the same Incubator, were divided Into two groups as nearly equal as possible, as regard health and vigor. On May 80, one of the groups were caponlzed. The two groups were kept entirely separate, and their gain In weight and the food they consumed were recorded. Until October 1 both groups had access to poultry yards measuring 13 by 125 feet, and after that date they were confined to open-fron- t houses 15 by 15 r W. N. U, Salt Laks City, No. 26. |
