Satsuma Oranges are
Grown in Montgomery.
Mrs. E. D. Adams, living three
miles south of Mt. Vernon, sends
to this office a bunch of Satsuma
oranges, grown on the Adams
homestead. The tree on which
they grew is well laden, and pre
sents a beautiful appearance.
It is quite clear that the Sat- ■
suma is a success in this section ]
of the state, as it stands the cold
readily if protected during the
blooming season.
The tree is only four or five
years old, and this year contains
more than two hundred oranges,
well developed and true to type
and form. When fully grown
the tree does not have a spread
of over seven or eight feet, and
yet this little orange, Japanese
in name, is said to measure up
to the thrifty characteristics of
the noted race of little yellow
people.
There is no reason why this
fruit should not be generally
grown in this section, where the
climate admits of its develop
ment as an industry and where
it would form quite an item in
diversified farming and fruit
growing.

Offers a Remedy For
Sorehead in Chickens.
Sorehead is a very common di
sease in the state. It is not dead
i ly if precaution is .taken in time.
It causes some losses. This loss
should be eliminated. Any one
who is constantly in touch with
flock can check the spread of
sorehead and at the same time
l cure those cases that have made
their appearance. It is foolish
to believe that diseases can be
controlled or even cured when
sanitation, good food, clean and
pure water and some personal
attention is not given to the flock.
Before you begin treatment clean
up the premises, clean out your
houses, use sprays and lime ful
ly. After this is done, it is time
to begin working on the diseased
birds. A number of good reme
dies have been prescribed and
all may be good. The one that is
used at the College plant and
has given excellent results is a
simple one, which consists of ,
raising the scab from the head
of the bird and then applying
iodine. After a good application
of iodine, cover the head with
carbolated vaseline. If this is
not obtainable, any vaseline or
good grease will serve the pur
pose. Another remedy which has
proven very good, by dissolving
one pound of copperas in a quart
of warm water. Dip each bird’s
head in this solution every two
or three days for about two
weeks.
The above treatments are ex
ternal. Besides these, some in
ternal treatments should be giv
en. A very successful internal
treatment consists of using 3
pounds of salt and 5 pounds of
sulphur for every one hundred
pounds of mash. This should be
continued until the flock shows
no sign of the disease.
Cleanliness is essential, es
pecially when baby chicks are
being reared. Often times a flock
of baby chicks develops sorehead
and die before any visible signs
can make its appearance. A
high fever is characteristic ard
the little fellows die in several
days. Whenever sorehead is
evident the water should receive
special attention. Add to the
water enough potassium perman
-1 ganate solution to turn it a pink
ish or slightly wine color. This
solution will kill any of the
bacteria that happen to drop into
the water from an infected bird
head. J. B. Tyre,
County Agent.
