U, BALTIMORE, NO. 17-1W0i Tuberculosis Is Hard to Destroy Damp, Poorly Ventilated Houses, Filthy Runs and Improper Food Blamed. In managing moat poultry flocka It la oonaldered advisable to cull all hens which appear droopy and list less, of light weight and In poor con dition. These symptoms would Indi cate tuberculosis and the birds should be discarded at once. Infected fowls often become lame, and the shanks become pale and shriv eled. When picked up, such birds will be observed to have only a very little flesh on the breastbone. Only one or two In the flock will be noticed to have the disease at the same time In all probability, and these will eat heart ily until almost the time of tbelr death. Other birds In tht flock will be Infected, however, since the disease Is usually widespread In a flock that has one or two Infected birds. Other dis eases often cause loss of weight, and a post-mortem examination Is neces sary to make a positive diagnosis of the trouble. Lesions of the disease, yellowish in color, and varying from the size of a plnhend to the size of a pea will be found on the liver and spleen of visibly Infected birds. Nod ules varying from the size of a pea to that of a small walnut will be found on the intestines and the Intestinal membranes. Lesions also occur fre quently in the kidneys, lungs, skin and bones. Itlrds In the early stages of the disease cannot be detected by external symptoms. In order to de tect these birds the tuberculin test must be applied by some veterinarian competent to do this testing. Losses from the disease do not occur with birds under a year old. since chicks do not have the disease at time of birth and must contract It from older birds. Causa of Disease. Tuberculosis Is caused by bacteria and can be caused by no other agency. Damp, poorly ventilated and badly lighted houses, filthy runs, and Im proper feeding practices hasten the spread of the disease where the germs are present, but these factors are never solely responsible for the trou uitr. # Birds affected with tuberculosis can not be cured. Those that are known to be Infected should be killed and burned. Strict sanitary measures should be adopted in caring for the flock. If It is desired to merely avoid losses from tuberculosis, disposing of all birds one year old or over will take care of this, but If the owner desires to rid the (lock of the disease, addi tional steps must be taken. There are two possible methods of eradicating the disease from the flock. The first method IS to dispose of all stock after the laying season Is over; thoroughly clean and scrub all roosts, nests, floors and runways with a solu tion of high-test lye, and keep all fowls off the premises for several months. In order to destroy all of the bacteria In the ground which has been frequented by the Infected flock. It should be plowed occasionally dur ing the spring, summer nnd fall, and seeded after each plowing. Use Tuberculin Test. In flocks that are valuable as breed ers, the tuberculin test can be used and only those birds known to be In fected then disposed of. This should he given every six months and all re actors should be removed from the premises and the houses cleaned and runs plowed after each test In which reactors are found, as mentioned In the first method. In either case, young chicks brought on the premises should be raised on clean ground, and, If possible, should be put Into new quar ters and the old quarters utilised for some other purpose as soon as the old flock has been entirely disbanded. This Inter Is not essential, however. If proper sanitary methods have been followed. 11111111111111111111111111 Agricultural Notes 1111111111111 i-i 11111111111 Like n runt}* pig. n starved, under fed, unthrifty colt In the spring Is a liability. * * * Cream that Is kept tightly covered before It Is properly cooled will have an objectionable smothered flavor. ? ? ?

Pruning Scars Need Prompt Attention Wounds Should Be Painted With Shellac. (Prepared by tba United Stataa Department of Agriculture.) Shade trees often suffer permanent Injury as a result of Improper care or complete neglect of the wounds caused by pruning. Specialists of the United States Department of Agricul ture recommend that scars made In pruning be painted Immediately with shellac to prevent drying out and con sequent dying back of the cambium layer, the area Just beneath the bark. Shellac should be prepared by dis solving gum lac in alcohol. No other solvent should be used, as some sol vents actually kill back the cambium layer Instead of protecting It. In the case of small wounds a half Inch or less In diameter, shellac will give com plete protection under ordinary con ditions, but on larger wounds the shel lac should be covered with some more permanent preparation, such as as phalt, tar, or good lead paint of any desired color. In the case of large wounds, good results will be obtained If the shellac Is applied only over the cambium, cut edges of the bark, and the sapwood, but the permanent dressing should cover the entire scar. ? A shellac brush can be cleaned eas ily by working It around for a few minutes In a cup of water with half a teaspoonful of ordinary borax. Shei las can readily be removed from the hands with the same preparation. Self-Feeding Lambs on Chop Feed Is Favored Western feeder lambs have been suc cessful and economically self-fed at the University of nilnols on a mix ture of ground corn and chopped al falfa hay. The self-fed lambs gained faster than a similar lot hand fed on shelled corn and unchopped hay and required less feed per 100 pounds of gain. A portion of the Illinois report reads as follows: "Apparently there Is no danger of overfeeding when a mixture of ground corn and hay Is self-fed and the proportion of corn to hay Is about one to four at the start and one to one after seven weeks of feeding." At the Nebraska station, a ration of cracked corn, chopped alfalfa and linseed meal proved very successful for fattening lambs. It was found necessary to crack the corn to prevent the lambs from picking out the kernels. Alfalfa hay and other roughages can be chopped for live stock by means of farm-owned roughage mills. Aid Cross-Pollination With Colonies of Bees At least one colony of bees should be allowed for every acre of orchard, and these colonies should be distrib uted throughout the orchard to help with cross-pollination, according to the New York state college of agriculture. Lack of pollination is probably the greatest single factor responsible for the lack of setting of fruit when a j thee blooms and still does not mature a crop. Nearly all varieties of apples are self-sterile and even varieties which are self-fertile produce more fruit when cross-pollinated with an inter- j fertile variety. A grower should di versify his varieties which bloom about the same time and will Inter cross. He should choose good varle- ! ties for pollination purposes and then rent bees from a/ good beekeeper to do the pollination work for them. Pol linator bouquets should be placed IS ! feet from the hives. Diseased Plants Barred by the United States Importation of plants and plant products Is by far the most Important moans of Introducing plant diseases Into new regions or countries, says the United States Department of Agricul ture. Diseases may be spread over short distances by Insects, wind, or other agents but when they are spresd over long distances It Is usually the result of transporting some part of the host plant such as fruit, seeds, bulbs, tubers, straw, etc. For this rea son the cargo of every vessel arriving at a United States port from a foreign country Is carefully Inspected to see that plants or fruits Imported with dangerous diseases are not brought In. Planting Asparagus Asparagus roots should be planted about six Inches deep In rows four or live feet apart and the plants two feet apart In the row. The first year the roots are not covered the full depth of six Inches, but about three Inches of soil Is put over them and as culti vation proceeds through the year the trench will be filled up In the fall. Asparagus needs plenty of fertiliser and will do fairly well In many soils that receive sufficient moisture during the growing season. Keep Eggs Clean "Considerable saving can be affected during the spring months by keeping the nests clean and the eggs from be coming soiled," declares E. a Mene fee of the Purdue university market department Uenefee points out that dirty eggs cost the farmer and poul tryman from one to three cents per dosen because of the low grade Into which they are classified. In the spring, when the birds are turned out on te wet ground, dirty aggs are more likely to occur.

It provides aecommodation for twenty four cows, with a hull pen and ealf pen at one end. The dimensions of this building are 34 feet by 84 feet Part of this barn Is set aside for the use of the farm horses and in this part we haye three single stalls, one box stall, feed room and harness room. One of the features Is the placing of the feed room and the silo. This arrangement. It will be noticed, cen ters the supply of feed and facili tates the establishing of a feeding plan which will eliminate all wasted energy. The arrangement places the cows facing In. The preference, rela tive to this point, Is divided among different farmers, some preferring the arrangement which faces the cows out, and others favoring that used In tbls design. The gutters flanking the litter alley are sloped and a drain is placed at the Inner end of each gutter. Where running water under normal pressure is available. It Is the work of but a few minutes to thoroughly clean out the stable. Tbe outstanding feature of this barn la the roof construction. The modern dairy barn should be j built like a factory, because It is a factory, housing very expensive and delicate machinery for production of ?Ilk?namely, the high-bred dairy cow. It should be given the thought and Intelligent planning for efficient operation that la necessary for any successful factory. As a matter of fact, nowadays a farmer hasn't much choice In the mat ter. A large, Inefficient dairy Is hardly possible anymore. The farmer who wants to keep heavily producing cows simply must have an efficient dairy barn, or he will be unable to get the labor for the Job. Labor saving Is the keynote of mod em barn design and equipment. Many of Its features are planned to keep the cows up to correct pitch, so to speak. Such are ventilation, drinking cups, cork floors. These are of first Importance. But It Is fair to say that without modem labor saving design and equipment the large herd simply could not be kept; hence the dairy man's convenience Is the very first consideration, and one of great Im portance. Here Is a bam that meets all the requirements of the modem dairy fac tory of large proportions. It Is planned with a view to maximum production by the cows. Owner Is Independent of Landlord's Whims The house owner is independent He Is not obliged to move from pillar to post at the will of his landlord, nor Is he constrained to adjust his mode of life to the pattern of a rented house. The house owner has stability which the renter does not have. He occupies a stronger position In the community. The house owner can take more In terest In life because he has gone through thst most Important experi ence?the building of a home. He en Joys his rest and recreation because be feels that he has a roof over his head, shelter for himself and his fam ily, one that It has been his privilege to build and remains his to maintain.
