Controlling Poultry
Diseases Important
By JAMES NIX I
The greatest setbacks in poultryß
this part of the country are the ■
seases. No one can expect to mal
money with poultry if they are <1
seased. There are several importam
diseases which should be prevented ii
the raising of poultry. I am going tl
try to give the causes, symptoms, and

are, it affects the eyes, mouth and
nose. To control, remove the cause,
by sanitation, and give potassium
pennangnate.
Fifth, Chicken Pox or Sore Head.
It is caused by a microscopic germ
which has not been isolated and des
cribed. There is no cure so you will
have to kill the birds. The symptoms
of the disease are watery disagree
able droppings, stupodullness and de
pression. To control, be sanitary and
use potassium pennangnate.
Some of the minor diseases are:
T. 8., Limberneck, Cholera and Black

My Purebred
Swine Project
By LUTHER GRIFFIN
I have several mixed breeds of
hogs and recently I decided to buy
a purebred Black Poland China boar
to improve my herd. I purchased the
boar January 13. I have been feed
ing him a balanced ration, tankage,
mineral, corn meal, and pig chow. He
is four months old, weighs about sev
enty-five pounds. I oil him about
once a week. About 3or 4 weeks ago
I wormed him. I am planning on let
ting neighbors use him at a set fee.
I am planning on getting a purebred
black Poland China gilt to raise
thoroughbred pigs.
Unusual Dog-Drawn Transportation
An unusual dog-drawn transports
tatior. service operated in Alaska
about 1900. At times, says Col
lier’s Weekly, a train would consist
of 24 eight-foot sledges, tied end to
end, pulled by 350 Eskimo dogs,
harnessed two abreast. The crew
of 30 men worked in two shifts,
one sleeping while the other pa
trolled the line of animals, which
was a half mile long.
Why We Should
Keep Good Records
By CECIL STRICKLAND
We should keep good farm records
because there are times when we want
to know certain things that are too
long to figure out in a short time;
if we have them on records we can
easily find out. Then too, the busi
ness farmer wishes to know how much
he is making or losing each year. He
wants to know whether his wheat,
cows or orchard pays him the most.
If he has a record book he can rely
on it for information that he can not
remember.
'Some people think that it takes too
much time to keep records, but it has
been estimated that it takes only an
average of five minutes a day. Surely
more time is saved than lost by having
these handy books. There are com
monly three kinds of record books:
work record, inventory record, and
financial record. In the work book
a list of all work during the year
should be kept. In the inventory book
should be kept a list and value of all
buildings, horses, livestock, feeds,
machinery, growing crops, cakh and
goods sold on credit. In the finan
cial book should be kept an itemized
list of all money spent on the farm.
All books should be opened at the
beginning of each year and closed at
the end. This is to keep from getting
one year mixed with another. Then
if a farmer wants to know how much
he made during a certain year, he can
•find the record book for that year and
the rest will be easy.
Record books are valuable in other
ways too. They may be used to find
when the rushing seasons of labor
occur and what causes them. They
may also be used to compare results
with neighbors or with published cost
records to see if he is doing as well
as he should.
Unless studied, farm accounts are
of little use to help make business
more profitable in the future. It is
just as important to study the dif
ferent items of cost and returns as
it is to know whether or not it pays.
Cost accounts, carefully and consist
ently kept year after year, are cer
tain to develop both the business of
farming and the farmers power of
analyzing the causes and effects in
volved in his operations.
Cause And Treatment
Os Swine Diseases
The main internal parasite of hogs
are round worms, lung worms, kidney
worms, and nodular worms.
There is no reliable way to get
rid of these worms after the hogs get
them. The only way to keep hogs
from having worms is to raise them
under a sanitary condition.
My article deals chiefly with Swine
Diseases. The most important of
these is cholera.
Cholera
Cause—By a contagious germ.
Symptoms—Loss of appetite, weak
ness, scours, temperature, and cough
ing.
Control—No cure. Give either
serum or serum virus treatment.
T. B.
Cause—lnfectious germ.
Symptoms—Hard to tell advanced
stage, loss of appetite, temperature
below normal, and weakness.
Control—Give T. B. test and do
away with all T. B. animals. Don’t
feed milk from T. B. cows without
boiling.
Hog Flu
Cause—Unknown, may be change*
of feed.
Symptoms—Coughing, loss of ap
petite, high temperature, eyes red,
swollen ,and running.
Control—Sanitation, place animal in
well bedded quarters with plenty
of fresh drinking water.
Necrotic Entertis
Cause—Chronic inflammable intes
tines .
Symptoms—Go off feed, profuse,
diarrhea, dry skin, weak, and un
thrifty.
Control—Give soft feed, epsora
salts, copper sulphate, 1 ounce to 26
gallons of water.
Abortion —is the expulsion of de
veloping embryo from uterus.
Cause—lnjury specific disease, im
proper feeding.
Symptoms—Goes off feed, loses
pigs, discharge from gential organs,
restlesness.
Control—Proper care, proper feed,
and proper handling.
Scours
Cause—lnfections or incorrect feed
ing.
Symptoms—Diarrhea.
Control—Eliminate the cause.
Nets Used by Turtle Fishermen
Nets which turtle fishermen use
are about 15 feet long and are fash
ioned around two hoops, each three
feet in diameter. They are set in
shallow water and baited with tank
age. The holes in the nets are large
enough to allow all fish to escape.
Future of America
Depends On Education
By JERRY HUNTER
Home Economics Teacher of Newton-
Elmodel High Schools
I am one who firmly believes that
the hope of tomorrow for all phases
of American life depends upon voca
tional education. Not because I am a
teacher of Homemaking Education but
•because I feel that vocational educa
tion gives one a happy background
of practical knowledge that no other
field of education reaches.
The teaching of Home Economics
has developed very rapidly during a
time when great changes have been
taking place in home and family life
in this country. Changes in social
and economic conditions have affected;
the home almost more than they have'
affected any other social unit and for
this reason alone it is a challenge
to boys and girls to learn how they
can meet these changes, yet hold their
future homes together. If a girl is
completely ignorant in housing, cloth
ing, and feeding a family there is
little chance of her making the most
of what she has and of finding real
happiness in her home because the
High School girls of today are the
Homemakers of tomorrow, whether
good or bad relies entirely upon her
training now.
Home Economics offers to the girls,
training and. instruction in the fun
damentals of sewing; from the mak-,
ing of small household articles sue,hi
as towels and scarfs to draperies for
her home. By the time a girl has>
finished her second year in Home Eco
nomics she should have some know-,
•ledge as to the colors and styles best
suited to her as well as being able
to make her own clothes and clothes
for children. When one thinks of
sewing in connection with Home Eco
nomics they naturally think of cook
ing. Time is devoted not only to cook
ihg but to the planning of balanced
diets and nutrition as well. A study of
those foods necessary to the human
body and its welfare take up the great
er part of the time alloted to cookery
study. New recipes for common foods
are tried and the preparation of a
'breakfast, dinner, and supper with
entirely new recipes is the culmina-i
lion of this study. %
Economy is stressed in cookery
study, and I’ve found that to be eco
nomical the girls select foods that
are better for the body. A “Frill”
is given to cooking by the planning of
menus for simple parties, teas and
showers. Practical problems that
form the foundation of cooking are
taught, as the dressing of chickens
and canning.
When a girl finishes a two year
course in Home Economics, she should,
if she has applied herself, be able to
plan, prepare, and serve without
worry or over-work, any meal.
Table service and etiquette are
stressed in Home Economics, at the
high school age boys and girls are
ready to accept any knowledge that
will help them in the social world.
Personality and public impressions
are featured frequently as well as per
sonal hygiene.
Child training and development
take up a major part of the second
year Home Economics. A study is
made of the child from the day he is
bom until he is of school age.
One cannot put into practice the
above things learned unless there is
a house, so housing conditions are
studied, and efficient housekeeping is

an aidless topic. This study elimi
nates monotony that comes from un
interesting housework and gives the
girls incentives to build a home rather
than a house .and to make house
work stimulating and productive
rather than destructive. Interior
decoration study teaches the girl to
transform the ugly and colorless of a
home into attractiveness.
This is really only a small part
that Homemaking education has to
offer, and I feel that it is a “life
saver” to the world, to those that are
acquainted with work, and home life,
as it makes life easier and worth
while, to those that are bom among
servants, it teaches a deep apprecia
tion of the better things the world
has to offer.
The more I think of the scope cov
ered by Vocational work, the more
I realize its importance to the whole
economic and social structure of our
community, state and county. For
twenty-one years educators have bent
their full energies and urged the
schools to teach pupils about voca
tional life, and improve their outlook
on life. So surely we must appreciate
the meaning of the well equipped Vo
cational Departments in our County,
and the goal set to assist in making
better homemakers, better employees
and better citizens whether it be our

‘Ole Bull’s Folly’
Ole Bomemann Bull (1810-80) Nor
wegian violin virtuoso, was the most
famous bearer of the name Ole. He
financed a Norwegian colony in
Pennsylvania, but it failed, and the
castle he built there came to be
called “Ole Bull’s Folly.’’ His play
ing won him great renown.
Appetite Is Important
“Appetite,” said Hi Ho, the sage
of Chinatown, “is always a consid
eration of great importance. If you
have a poor one you worry about
your health, and if you have a good
one you worry about the expense.”
