ARTICLE LIV BLACKHEAD THE TURKEY RAISERS' BUGABOO Strictest Measures Slay DC Necessary to Prevent This Scourge From Wiping Out an Entire Flock of Promising nnd Profitable Poults. The bugaboo to turkey raising is that dread disease Blackhead. The name itself is misleading, for it does not describe symptom.

In other words the head of tlic turkey does not necessarily turn dark or black. First must get clearly in mind that there is no cure for Blackhead. That is a hnrd thing to say, but it is true nevertheless. Someone bobs up every day with a new "cure" nnd we glnd so much interest is being manifested in the subject. The day will come perhaps when a real cure will be found.

But right now we nre interested in a far more valuable movement, that of preventing blackhead. For nfter all prevention is the best cure in the world. Blackhead is an infectious disease. It is cnused by a germ thnt affects the liver and the blind gut or caeca. If you have a microscope that will magnify several hundred times you may sec that germ.

But you don't need glasses even to see its effect, which is more important. Youtiff tnrks are most susceptible, although it affects the grown ns well. The germ enters with the food nnd is found in infected ground where droppings from birds that have find blackhead or droppings from chickens, contaminate the soil. The blackhend germ nttacks the liver first and from the diseased tissues of the liver these germs pass through the bile duct nnd into the intestines, from whence it completes its deadly circuit by returning to Mother Earth vin the droppings. It takes from ten days to two weeks for the disease to show itself after infection.

The greatest source of dnn- gcr of course is for the young turkeys to run with chickens or to be exposed to older birds from flocks that hnve had the disease, and on ground that has been contaminated. That is about ns close to turkey suicide as you can come. But even on fresh ground, if the young birds are allowed to bo with the older birds that are infected the danger may be almost as great. Young turkeys have ravenous appetites. They pick nt everything in sight.

Fresh contaminated droppings contain the blackhead germ in its livest, most dangerous stage. To show you how insidious the disease is, turkeys have been known to contract blackhead when placed with incubator chicks. Infected ground that has been plowed and seeded has been known to cnrry the lurking danger. Hens are carriers of the parasite nnd when allowed to roam with turkeys mny infect them. Your boots will carry the germ from infected ground into the new, fresh yard.

It is easy to spot the first nppenr- ancc of the disease in a flock if you nre nt all observant. When poults appear lazy and lag behind the rest of the flock, look out. They are not lazy at all, but ailing. As this wenk- ncss grows they take on a droopy appearance They walk with slow, measured tread, head down and wings carelessly dangling. Loss of nppetite and weight are the inevitable results.

In the adult turkeys the symptoms are practically the same except thnt they do not nppear ns quickly as in the- young birds. And they die in a few days after you note they have it. Put your flocks on clean, uncontnm- inated ground, clear away from your other poultry yards. Above all keep your turkeys away from your chickens. Don't make the mistake, for instance, of building your brooder house with a cement floor so thnt it can't be moved.

You wnnt that brooder house as far awny from the farm buildings as possible. It's splendid thing to give growing turks a change of gronnd and pasturage every few weeks. Alfalfa, sweet clover, a plot of rape that is nway out on the farm is the finest thing in the world these dnngerous early growing weeks. (Copyright, 1929, by Dr. D.

At present Nl- acnra power fs used In Syracuse, 103 miles from Its source, nnd also In Windsor, miles nway. Ily treaty the ninount of water that mny he diverted from Nlagarn for power purposes has been limited to 30,000 cuhlc feet per second on the Canadian side and 20,000 cubic feet per second on the United States side.

Abundant Proofs That Sound Waves Can Kill Living creatures can be struck dcnd by sound naves too highly pitched for the human ear to hear them, writes T. C. Urldses. These high frequency waves--called super-sonlcs--have been tried on animals nnd produced Instant death.

Tlie sound appears to shatter the blood corpuscles, and death Is as sure and sudden aa If tlie creatures had been struck by lightning. Sound can do many things which seem mjs- terlons and almost miraculous. For Instance, fire can be extinguished by sound. Some little time ago Mr. Charles Kellogg of California gnre a demonstration of the power of sound over flume, and by drawing a violin bow across a piece of aluminum extinguished a burning gas Jet at 50 feet.

Sound vibrations can not only break a blass hut can damage a building. It la suspected that the deep, vibrating notes of organs can cause wlilch may actually ivenken tlie structure of a church or For Sale.
