Gow Successful Farmers Operate This Department of the Farm—A Few Hints as to the Care of Live Stock and Poultry. Tapeworms in Turkeys, AMUEL CUSH- man: Tapeworms, as well as the in- fectious liver dis- ease termed black- head, kill many turkeys. dissecting turkeys (sick ones selected from many different flocks) with Dr. Smith, of the bureau of animal industry, for evidences of blackhead dis- ease, we were very _ particular to examine the intestines of each for tapeworms, and found more were infested than we had even sus- pected. Of the sixty-five sick turkeys showing no traces of the liver disease, forty had tapeworms in their intes- tines. These worms were from a quar- ter of an inch to several inches in length. Occasionally those a foot or more long were found. In some speci- mens great numbers of very minute worms lined the upper intestine; oth- ers contained only large, fully devel- oped worms in the lower intestine. One bird from a flock, the turkeys of which had been dying for over a month and from which thirty had been lost within a week, was badly infested, and no other cause for sickness could be discovered. One little turkey three or four weeks old from another flock had many small worms in the duode- num, while the lower intestine was al- most completely filled with a tangled bunch of worms, about fifty in number, several inches in length. This trou- ble is very prevalent in some flocks during the spring and summer, and especially in July and August among turkeys on land which has been over- stocked with them for several years. Evidently the younger the turkeys re- ceive the parasites the more they suf- fer, The worms probably irritate the bowels, cause digestive derangement, diarrhea, weakness and death. A few worms may do a little harm, while a great number may be fatal. Doubtless if they survive until the embryos have developed and have mostly passed out, they may recover. At certain seasons segments of these worms may be found early in the morning under the roosts among the droppings of the infected turkeys. Tapeworms cause more loss among Western sheep, it is said, than any other disease. As their name im- plies, they are flat worms. They have a head and many joints, or segments. They have no mouth, their nourish- ment—the digested contents of the in- testines of their host—being received by absorption. The head attaches it- self to the lining of the intestines by dis suckers, cr by curved, claw-like hooks. The segments are gradually formed next to the head and are push- ed back by the formation of new ones, and finally reach a position at the op- posite extremity, or tail, when they mature, separate and pass away. When mature each segment is full of embryo tapeworms. These embryos, those of most species, are taken up by some animal, within which they pass the in- termediate stage of development and then pass to their final host. Dr. Sal- mon thinks it will be found that earthworms, insects or snails are the intermediate host of these tapeworm embryos; that they probably are not able to develop without an intermed- jate host. The longer tapeworm-in- fected turkeys have been kept on a place and the greater the number an- nually grown the more thoroughly will ‘apeworm eggs be sown upon the land. qf you can keep the breeding turkeys free from the worms you may prevent them from sowing the seeds of the tapeworm crop. Dosing them in win- ter and spring to free them would be an important preventive measure. They should be confined to an inclos- ure while being treated and the ground and their droppings frequently disin- fected to destroy the eggs that pass off. The little turkeys should be rais- ed on land that turkeys or chickens have not run on for years, as well as given an occasional dose that will kill worms. Possibly wild birds and ani- mals may infest such ground with the same embryos. Freshly powdered kousso is recommended as one of the best worm medicines for human be- ings. The dose for a child of six years is one-fourth ounce, given in the morning on an empty stomach. A previous evacuation of the bowels is recommended, as well as a brisk ca- thartic, should the medicine not act on the bowels within three or four hours, One dose is usually sufficient to de- stroy the worms. Kousso poisons the worms, but not the patient. Male fern is also efficient, but an overdose pois- ons the patient. Tansy, powdered ar- eca nut and ground pumpkin seed are also used as remedies. Asafoetida and turpentine are recommended. Turkey growers should cautiously test the remedy to learn the proper dose for lit- tle turkeys. We have not done that, Professional Dairying. It is sometimes thought that if a man has received a liberal education, has had more than ordinary advantag- es in the way of self- -improvement, that he has hidden his talents when he en- gages in the vocation of farming, says a writer in Hebron, Ill., Tribune. The fact is, however, there is no business in active life where a wide range of study, research and scientific investi- gation is more profitable or needed than in dairying. His business entire is that of the scientist and chemist, He is in charge of one of the finest chemical laboratories. Occasionally, we see a dairyman who attempts to conduct a dairy on scientific lines with- out the good sound judgment that must enter into the management of all suc- cessful business. His failure is the cause of much railery at the so-called book-farming. The axiom that “In wisdom there is strength” is just as true of farming as anything else, and he who best prepares himself for his life’s work, all other things being equal, will attain greater success. Too much of the dairying to-day is of the hit or miss kind. We are too apt to} follow the tradition of our fathers, hardly keeping pace with mechanical improvement and mental growth. A great evolution has taken place within the memory of the youngest dairyman. First, we remember when our dairy consisted of two or three cows. The milking was done in the yard, the milk set in pans in the cellar, the cream churned in the old stone churn, the butter worked with bowl and ladle, packed in jars and traded at the country store for what it would bring in the way of provisions for the family. A little later came the first cooling pro- cesses, the box or rectangular churn and wooden packages; soon creameries began springing up and the Cooley and Fairlamb cans and the skimming wag- ons came in vogue, then the separa- tors, Babcock tests, and all the later improvements of to-day. But the man- agement of the cows seems to have hardly kept pace. In our nineteenth century haste we have pushed ahead straining every nerve to get the most milk regardless of cost. Cows have grown old before their time by milk- ing the year round, and by feeding more heavy feed than can be properly assimilated. After two or three sea- sons of milking, the cow is sold for a “canner” and a new one put in her place at a good stiff price. There are many dairymen who have made money in tke business, who cannot tell which of their cows they are keeping at a loss, or which are profitable; they can- not tell what it costs them to produce a pound of butter; they have never in- vestigated the relative value of feed stuffs nor made anything of a thorough study of breeding, of disease, their prevention or cure, and are weak in a thousand other questions that are of vital importance to the dairyman. They have made their money through hard knocks, strict economy and fru- gality. Of course industry and good management are necessary to success, but information regarding the details of their profession makes money easier with less investment, elevates,ennobles and enriches the industry and raises it to a plane that makes it a desirable field for the labor of those who have looked upon it as a life of drudgery and sorrow. It is a life of scientific re- search and practicability; worthy the efforts of the brightest and best minds. We cannot fear to know too much about our business, and the dairyman should hail with gladness any new light that may be shed upon his work and be proud of the noble profession he has chosen, Ce Buttermilk in Demand. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says that buttermilk is in such demand in the saloons and restaurants of that city that the dairymen find it difficult to fill all their orders in this line. It has been shipped in from 100 miles away. Continuing, that paper says: But it is a mistake to think that the saloons buy it all. That they should buy it at all is merely one of the queer features of the business. Much buttermiik is sold to restaur- ants. During the hot season, sweet milk has been largely tabooed, iced tea has lost caste, cof- fee could not be tolerated, lemonade and soda were not acceptable, and but- termilk was ushered in as a substitute for all of them. And a most desirable substitute it has proved itself to be. Much buttermilk has been sold to fam- ilies, and there is not an ice cream or soda water parlor in the city that does not handle it. As with the saloons, the demand began with the hot weather. As the temperature rose, the call be- came greater. Restaurants, saloons and ice cream parlors have been forced to keep it, and in large quantities. The dairy companies recognized the possi- bilities of the business, and made ar- rangements to handle an immense sup- ply. They had placards printed which called attention to their buttermilk, or set forth its virtues. Razor-Back Hams. The department of agriculture has recently issued a report on the sub- ject of hams, a product of Isle of Wight, Surrey, Southampton and Nansemond counties of Virginia. About 30,000 pounds of the annual output, most of which is exported to Europe. These hams are pronounced equal if not superior to the Westphalian. They are made from what is called the raz- or-back hog. During its youth this ani- mal is allowed to range the woods throughout the summer, where it ac- quires the peculiar gamy flavor for which its flesh is noted. In the au- tumn, when the corn crop is gathered, the hogs are driven into the fields, in which every other row is planted with black-eyed peas. On these and the small corn that remains they fatten very rapidly. As a finishing process the animals are allowed to eat the small potatoes that are left after the crop is harvested. The method of cur- ing the hams and bacon is peculiar to the locality. There are many imita- tions of the Virginia razor-back ham, some of which are probably equal to the genuine, where the same system of fattening and-curing is employed. To | secure the genuine it is necessary for individual customers to give their or- ders a year in advance. The barn windows need looking at- ter.
