BLACKHEAD CAN
: BE CONTROLLED
Disease Is Caused by Animal
Germ in Young Fowls.
- Blackhead of turkeys is one of the
poultry, but destructive as it is, the
‘trouble may be controlled.
“We find that blackhead is caused
‘by an animal germ,” says Dr. B. F.
Kaupp, head of the poultry department
at state college. “It generally attacks
young turkeys from five to seven
weeks of age on up'until they mature.
.To/ tell definitely whether a bird has
blackhead, one has but to open a
| of dead tissue will be found scattered
throughout. To prevent future spread
of the trouble, the eggs for hatching
should be soaked for ten minutes in a
1 to 10,000 solution of bichloride of
mercury and hatched in an incubator
or by a turkey hen away from chick-
Where blackhead is not on the
premises, these precautions are not
necessary. A drug called sulpho-
phenol may also be used. Always give
the birds all the buttermilk or soured
skim milk that they will drink. This
tones up the general health condi-
tions.”
To learn more of the real nature of
mountain counties of Ashe, Madison,
Jackson and Avery. These four coun-
ties have many turkeys and the owners
have suffered losses in the past by
reason of the blackhead trouble. Doc-
imental work will be conducted under
actual farm conditions and he hopes
‘to find definite and practical control
or preventative methods which may be
used by all farmers.
Turkey-growing offers good profits,
especially to the grower who is pre-
pared to put first-class birds on the
‘market at Thanksgiving and Christ-
‘mas. There are many successful tur-
‘key farmers in various parts of North
Carolina and if it is possible to find a
practical control for blackhead, the in-
dustry should easily become more
profitable.
as Heavy Egg Layers
- Runner ducks are classed as laying
ducks and are the only breed recog-
nized in that classification. In many
instances Runners have produced as
many eggs as chickens. If managed
properly ducks of this breed may be
expected to lay almost as well as hens.
These ducks are small in size, the
males weighing four to four and one- |
half pounds and the females three |
and a half to four pounds. In spite
of the fact that they are heavy lay-
ers they mature quite rapidly and
make good broilers. They are killed
for this purpose when they weigh |
about two and a half to three pounds.
Nhese ducks are long and narrow bod-
fed. The body is carried very erect.
There are three varieties of Runner
ducks: Fawn and White Runners.

Feed for Calves
Give the: calves access to the hay
and fodder, allowing them to eat as
much as they want. A grain mixture
of half-ground corn and oats would
be satisfactory. Oats and barley give
a little too much crude fiber for the
young calf. Feed the grain dry and
untii about four months old give
then” as much as they will eat up
clean. From that age on limit the
amount to not over three pounds per
caif daily. Give water as soon as
they seem to want if. ’
Start birds on bran and clabber
mash if possible; otherwise, use corn
bread.
* * *
Don’t try a late hatch unless you
have separate enclosure for these late
turkeys. Two ages of turkeys don't
mix any better than two ages of chick-
ens do.
* * *
Usually it is necessary to use one
gander to every three or four geese.
A young gander will do provided he
is fuily matured. Geese may be turned
out in any moderately cold weather.
