DISEASE CAUSE

Be - Prevented
STRICT SAKUATIDM KEEOED
Contagious Maladies 8poradie All-
menu Parasitic Troubles Aeci-
- dents and Neglect Ars All
V' Quit Disastrous
Prepared hr the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
Every year the people of the United
States lose over $200000000 directly
(and no one snows bow much indi-
rectly) through diseases of farm ani-
mals ' This Is a large toll when di-
vided on a per capita basis aud when
it comes home to the farm stock-raiser
who finds a valuable animal dead in
'the burn or an epidemic spreading in-
to his herd the loss is sometimes disas-
trous The most regrettable feature
of the case Is that probably three-
fourths of the loss could be prevented
Five Causes of Disease
There are five principal causes of
disease and death of farm animals —
contagious diseases sporadic disease
parasitic troubles accidents and neg-
lect' Contagious -diseases Chn be
avoided or at least their consequences
greatly diminished If farmers will
learn to co-operate with the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the various state livestock- and sani-
tary authorities who are striving to
maintain animal health Farmers
should report promptly to the nearest
officials any suspicion of the presence
of contagious disease and they should
observe carefully all regulations In re-
gard to quarantine sanitation' and
care of animals as protection against
contagion -
Tuberculosis is one of the worst
scourges among animal anu it thrives
best-in damp dark ill-ventilated sta-
bles It-Is less common among ani-
mals running at large - Light dry
well-ventilated stables and dry clean
barnyards or' paddocks are essential to
the health of farm animals One val-
uable point In combating contagious
diseases especially tuberculosis is to
start tbe herd with animals that not
only are free from disease but are of

Animals

stock that Is not predisposed to dis-
ease Official tests of herds are made
on request and through co-operation of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture with livestock sanitary offi-
cials Purchase - of breeding- stock
from these herds Is a wise precaution
Care also should be taken to obtain
stock adapted to climatic and local
conditions The other sources of ani-
mal loss are largely a ' matter of In-
telligent and careful handling
Sporadic and - Incidental diseases
such as disorders of the digestive and
respiratory tracts can be avoided
largely by proper handling and feed-
ing A proper balancing of rations hus
a material Influence on the health of
live stock Too much of any food ele-
ment is likely to result in digestive
disorders thus predisposing tlie ani-
mal to disease
Parasitic diseases also carry off
large numbers of valuable animals
every year They are largely the re-
sult of Improper housing and neglect-
Tho average farmer can not be ex-
pected to hnve tlie time and aptitude
for study which will keep him apace
with the latest developments in feeds
and feedli animal nutrition nnd
medicines hygiene and other import-
ant matters related to the stock-raising
industry He ean however avail
himself of the benefit of tlie studies
and demonstrations of specialists who
have devoted their entire ‘time to these
subjects Every state agricultural col-
lege maintains a corps of specialists
whose publications ' and services are
available
Department Offers Aid 1
The department of agriculture la
constantly giving out Important in-
formation in books and bulletins which
may be had on request and in every
state the department haa representa-
tives combating animal diseases It
la well to consult a local veterinarian
In case of any disturbing symptoms
and to report to the stale veterinarian
or the United States Department of
Agriculture any symptoms which in-
dicate the possibility of an epidemic
The wise breeder Is ever on the look-
out to prevent disease Instead of wait-
ing until a curs la necessary
MAKE COMPOST HEAP
FOR USE IN GARDEN
Start By Laying Down Bed of
Fresh Stable Manure
Organic Rubbish Dscaysd Vegetables

Plot Necessarily Varies -
(Prepared by tbe United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
Garden waste decayed vegetables
dead vines - weeds and the organic
rubbish that collects about the p'ate
during n busy Bummer may be cleaned
up and put to work again through the
agency of a compost heap Start the
heap by laying down a bed of stable
manure wyich has not been burned
or heated The size bf the plot will
vary Vlt the amount of refuse to be
used) for ordinary uses if the ted Is
made 8 feet long by 6 feet wide and
2 feet deep it will serve' the purpose
Over the manure sprend a two-fooi
layer of refuse and cover it with an-
other layer of manure This last layer
need be only a foot In thickness Re-
Don't Leave Manure in Piles Exposed
to Weather Conditions Favorable to
- Lose By Washing — Use It to Make
Compost Heap
peat the layers until all the waste has
been disposed of and then cover the
whole with a -layer of earth
If It Is desired to add to the heap
from time to time the top layer may
be opened and the new material
emptied into the hole thus made This
is convenient for the suburban home
where there is no animal to consume
the kitchen waste - In the spring the
heap is well mixed with a fork and
the compost is ready to be spread on
the garden plot The heating manure
will effectively destroy any weed seed
present and will also break down the
structure of most of the materials
that have been thrown upon the pile
The process may be continued Indefi-
nitely by ' simply adding enough
manure to insure heating Compost is
especially valuable for use in hotbeds
and coldframes '
CLEANING UP INSECT PESTS
Many of Hibernating Species May Be
Deetroyed in Winter By Clean-
- Ing Up Obscure Corners
Much can be done now to reduce the
possibility ' of Insect 1 plagues next
summer if a little effort Is directed to-
ward the destruction of insect shelter
areas Around the grounds and gar-
dens under hedges beside ditches and
in fence corners are bunches of insect-
sheltering weeds or grass By tlie
time cold weather approaches many
kinds of Insects in the adult or imma
ture stages have taken full advantage
of these nooks andnldden away there
for the winter The bureau of ento-
mology United States Department of
Agriculture says that If these spots
are cleaned up and the refuse cut and
burned many of these hibernating in-
sects will be destroyed and the dam-
age from such pests during the coin-
ing season will be materially lessened
PROVIDE BATH FOR POULTRY
Chickens Cleanse Themselves by Wal-
lowing In Soil and Duet Box
Should Be Accessible
Chickens never wash as many other
birds do hut clfinnse themselves by
wnllowlng in soil Where-board cr
(einent floors are used In the chicken
house Some means for dusting should
be provided during the winter months
saj poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture For
a flock of 50 to 00 fowls a dust box
3 by C feet or 4 by 4 feet will generally
lie found large enough nnd should be
placed where it can he reached by sun-
light during as much of the day ns
possible
- Fine light dry dust Is the best kind
with which to fill the box but sandy
loom is good Itond dust1 Is recom-
mended by many but it Is apt to be
filthy Coal or wood ashes may ba
mixed with the soil if desired

HEAT PACKAGE IS ESSENTIAL
Specialists of Department of Agricul-
ture Give Directions for Killing
' Dressing and Packing — Dry
Picking Favored
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
' Poultry profits often depend largely
on the marketing and tlie producer
should study demands to learn bow
where and when to dispose of Ills
products to the best advantage - It
often pays to dress tlie fowl at home
for certain markets tlie difference be-
tween the prices for live and dressed
fowl making it worth while
Attractive appearance - is of much
Importance in selling poultry there-
fore the producer wlio plans to market
his poultry dressed should study the j
details of killing dressing and packing
In order to prepare ' tlie products in
he best possible manlier Require
ments for dressing and pneking vary j
lOmewhat in different markets and it
vlll pay the producer to learn any 1
special demands - of the distributing
point to which he Intends shipping j
Killing Dressing and Packing
Tbe birds should be kept without
eed from 18 to 24 hours before killing
unless they are to be drawn speeial-
sts of tbe United States Department
f Agriculture say In the latter case
they should have no feed for at' least
iO hours before killing When ready
to kill suspend the fowl by the legs
and using a knife cut the vein at the
back of the throat through the mouth
As soon as this -vein is cut run the
point of the knife through the roof of
the mouth into the brain which
causes tbe bird to lose all sense of
feeling The fowl can be paralyzed
also b$ a blow on the head Instead of
piercing the brain -
In most markets dry-picked birds
are preferred Immediately nfter kill-
ing while the bird is still bleeding
the picker removes the feathers being
careful not to tear the skin If the
picker waits until the bird is nearly

cold removing the feathers will be
more difficult As soon as picked the
fowls should be hung in a cool place
until thoroughly cold If the weather is
warm and the fowls are to be packed
la ice they should bq placed In a
lank of Ice water and left until all the
animal heat has left the body
When lJlrds-are scalded before re-
moving the feathers they are im-
mersed iu water slightly below the
boiling point as soon as they are
through bleeding The birds should
be Immersed three or four times and
then picked clean enre being taken
not to break the skin Be direful
not do oversculd as this will causey
tlie outer surface of the skin to rub
off- Then It is placed in cold water
where it should remain for 15 to 20
minutes : If the fowl Is to be shipped
dry It should be hung up until the
skin becomes thoroughly dry
Poultry which Is to bo sold direct
to tho consumer should bo drawn be-
fore it is cooled Poultry which Is
sold to the market should not bo
drawn as It will keep better not
drawn thnn if drawn A slit lnrge
enough to admit the fingers Is made
from near the end of tlie keel bone
toward the vent Then cut carefully
around tlie vent and pull out the In-
testines leaving fai all tlie other or-
gans unless the consumer’s require-
ments are otherwise
8hould Be Packed 8o!ldly
When the birds have been thor-
oughly cooled they are ready for
packing Packages for dre-sed poul-
try vary but they should be neat nnd
small enough to be easily handled
Line tlie Inside of the boxes or bar-
rels with dean unprlnted paper and
pack the birds solidly so they will
not shift In the package but be care-
ful not to bruise them For delivery
to retail customers pasteboard boxes
of sufficient size to hold one or two
birds are very attractive When poul-
try Is to he packed In ice barrels are
generally used packing them with al-
ternate layers of Ice
COWPEAS FIRST USED
AS FOOD FOR HUMANS
Earliest Published Record in
America Was in 1798
Plant at Presant la Best Known and
Extensively Grown" Leguminous
Crop In Southern States— Can
Be Grown In North
(Prepared by the United States Uepart-
ment of Agriculture)
The cowpea Is undoubtedly a native
of Central Africa - A wild plant dif-
fering little from the cultivated cow'
pen occurs throughout much of that
continent Hybrids of this wild plant
and the cultivated cowpea are reudily
obtained The cultivated cowpea con-
sists of three main groups — tlie as-
paragus bean (lie entjung and the
cowpea each of which represents a
group of varieties having much in com-
mon" but connected through Intermedi-
ate varieties The cowpea is the most
Important of the three groups
The lurge number and great diversi-
ty of cultivated varieties throughout
Africa and over tbe southern half of
i
PSPi
o
A Good Stand of Cowptas
Asia and the adjacent 'islands as well
as the Mediterranean region ot
Europe indicate thnt the cowpea Is ef
anW?nt cultivation for human food It
wnS pnrly Introduced In tbe 'Spanish
settlements in the AVest Indies and was
grown in North' Carolina In 1714
probnbly coming from the West In-
dies Its culture in Virginia was re-
ported about 1775 nnd no doubt was
quite general in the United States'
early In the Nineteenth century
Without doubt the cowpea is the
Phnseolus mentioned by the old Ro-
man writers In Italy the Blackeye
cowpea Is still called by the same
name as the ' kidney benn namely
“fngiolo” which Is the Italian equiva-
lent of Pha8eolus In Hast Africa
both the wild nnd cultivated cowpeas
are - called “kunde” -while in India
where the catjnng is more extensively
cultivated the name “lubla” with
many others Is used In America the
cowpea was first known as “calll-
vance” and later as “Indian pea’
"southern pea” “southern field pea"
and “cornfield pea” The first pub-
lished record of the name cowpea was
in 1798 and applied apparently to a
single Variety
The cowpea at-present Is the best
krown and most extensively grown
leguminous crop In the Southern
states but It can be grown profitably
mqph farther north Although It suc-
ceeds under a greater diversity of
climatic soil and cultural conditions
than most other legumes the best re-
sults are obtained In forage soil Im-
provement and seed production by a
thorough understanding of tbe re-
quirements and the best varieties of
the crop -
ICE-HARVEST TIME AT flAND
Farmer Should Lay in Ample Supply
for Cooling Milk and for House-
hold Uses In Summer
Farmers who hnve not already done
so should prepare to lay by a store
of ice now for cooling milk and for
household use next' summer In places
where nature provides a sufficiently
low temperature the cost of harvest-
ing nnd storing ice is low when coin-
pofjpl with the saving effected Ordi-
narily It Is safe to harvest 2 tons of
ice for eacli cow In the herd This
will allow for melting aud leave
enough fer family needs Where
cream only sold about one-third of
that quantify of ice will be needed
