Seasonal Hints for the Poultryman.
The chief essentials to proper de
velopment of growing chicks are good
coops or houses, cleanliness, proper
feed and water, shade and free range.
Watch for mites in the brood coops
and other houses, spray thoroughly,
with kerosene, crude petroleum, or
some commercial spray.
As soon as the breeding season is
over and no more hatching eggs are
desired, sell, kill or separate all male
birds so as to have infertile eggs.
These keep better than fertile eggs.
Hens without a male will lay just
as many eggs.
Clean, disinfect, and store away
the incubator.
Give the growing chicks free range
on grass land; and allow them free
access to .a good mash. Provide
shade.
Break up broodiness in hens by
shutting them in a slat-bottom coop;
they will lay the sooner.
Preserve eggs in water glass or
lime water for home use in fall and
winter. ,

BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS
How the Disease Spreads.
(From Farm Bureau News)
Sooner or later the tuberculous cow
begins to give off the germs of the
disease. The germs escape by the
mouth and nose, the bowels, in the
milk, and in discharges from the
genital organs. When the germs
are being given off in any of these
ways, the disease is known as open
tuberculosis. .
Germs discharged from the mouth
and nose are coughed up from the
lungs and sprayed over the food in
front of the cow or are carried in the
air for a time until they fall to the
ground. Cows in adjoirutrg stalls may
take in these germs in the air they
breathe or in the food they eat and
so contract the disease.
Germs discharged from the bowels
are mixed with the manure, and may
infect cattle and hogs that are allow
ed to pick over the dung heap. The
practice of having hogs and cattle to
gether in the same yard is sure to
result in the infection of the hogs
if any of the cattle are affected. The
germs in the manure come from mat
ter that is coughed up and swallow
ed, and in some cases from tubercu
losis in the bowels themselves. Man
ure containing tubercle germs may
easily infect the milk. Particles of
dried manure may fall into the milk
pail from the skin of a dirty cow or
be accidentally flicked off from the
tail and fall into the milk. Strain
ing the milk afterwards only removes
the larger particles. The smaller
ones, including the germs, remain in
the milk.
When the udder is tuberculous the
milk contains the germs in vast num
bers. Such, milk may look and taste
perfectly good, but readily transmits
the disease to young animals. It is
very dangerous to children. Hogs
and calves may readily infect it.
Movies Shown at Farm Bureau Meet
" ings.
Attendance 305 at Five Meetings.
Being favored with the loan of a
portable moving picture machine,
from the State Agricultural Exten
sion Service and films from the Unit
ed' States Department of Agricul
ture it was - possible during the
week of May 29th, to hold Farm Bu
reau meetings at which "movies"
were a part of the program.
The two films shown were "Food
for Reflection," presenting a home
demonstration agent working on a hot
school lunch project and the federal
meat inspection film entitled "The
Honor of the Little Purple Stamp."
. The program at these meetings also
included talks by S. G. Judd, dairy
specialist, and E. M. Gove, repre
senting the Vermont Farm Bureau
Federation who told of the accom
plishments and activities of the state
and national organizations.
Meetings were held at East
Charleston, Irasburg, -Barton, North
Craftsbury an Newport. At the
Barton and North Craftsbury meet
ings Dr. A. J. DeFossett from tjie
State Department of Agriculture,
spoke on "The Eradication of Bovine
Tuberculosis in Vermont," answering
many questions for farmers who de
sired more information on the sub
ject. -
Meetings will be held in other sec
tions of the county during the sum
mer, at which moving pictures deal
ing with Farm Bureau work and the
activities of the United States De
partment of Agriculture will . be
shown.
Took a Peek Before Answering.
At the time of tests In the schools
the small fry were very busy discuss
ing how "awful hard" the questions
were and wrinkling their brows In
anxiety as to whether they'd passed.
There is a humorous side to the mat
ter, however. One small girl reported
that she knew she had her first ques
tion answered correctly. "How are
you so snrer' Inquired mother. "Well,
it was to name 25 birds and, as the
teacher left the bird chart open at
that place, It wag easy," was the
alve reply. Springfield Union.
