SOREHEAD JN POULTRY xtremely Contagious Disease ol Fowls Can Cause 8erlous Loss Unless Promptly Chsoksd. Sorehead, a disease of chickens caus ed by spores of a common mold, appear* when fowls cotne In contact with moldy litter or moldy train. It seem* not to be a constitutional disease. It is usually confined to the face, comb, wattles and ear-lubes, eyes, nostrils, and mouth, but Is occasionally found under the wings in advanced or neglected cases. It Is extremely contagious and may spread through a flock In two or three days. Sorehead Is of two kinds, dry and moist, according to the surface at tacked by the spores. If It Is on the raucous membrane of the eye, mouth, or nostrils, the moist type develops; if on the skin of the face or adjacent parts, It will be the dry or warty variety. The moist type is a most serious disease, crowing rapidly. It soon closes the eyelids, which swell to an enormous size, blinds the fowl, ami causes It to waBte away and die. When sorehead appears, it is not necessary to isolete the diseased fowls from the flock. Look for moldy littor or food and if it is found replace it with fresh. Check the disease by coloring the drinking water pink with a few crystals of permanganate of potash, and paint the face and comb of the apparently well chickens with equal parts of creolin and water, or a strong purple solution of permanganate of potash. Give appetizing food. It is advisable to mix the egg mash with buttermilk or sour skim milk ?n.l feed sprouted oats daily. Cook cheap meat, cut it up, and throw to the chickens. The fowls that have the warts should be cfcught and the crust of each wart removed. The tissue un derneath is red. Dip a clean feathor in one of the remedies named below and touch the red tissues with the liquid. Next morning the treated wan will have a black scab over it. whitli dries and falls off in three or four days. A week later one cannot detect where the wart was. _ In treating the moist variety, it is necessary to drop the remedy into the eye. nostrils, or whatever organ is attacked. This sopms /?rn?l ??.? ? saves the fowl. The remedy the writer prefers fs pure, undiluted creolTn. We have not lost a chicken from sorehead since UBlnK this remedy. It will eradicate the disease from the eye and. If used In time, will save the sight. Other good remedies are iodine, cresol or similar disinfectant, zenoleum, all ' used undiluted; purple solution of permanganate of potash, liquid shoe polish (black), and solution of copperas ias much as will lie on a 25-cent piece dissolved In a cup of water). A clean feather Is best for applying the rem edy. FRANK C. HARE. Extension Poultry Husbandman. Clcin8on Agricultural College A TREE OF DOUBLE VALUE South Carolina Farmers Urged to Plant Pecan For Its 8hade as Well as It's Fruit. i nave oetore me pecan nuts of the < 1915 crop that were grown in the Coastal section of South Carolina and some others that were produced in the extreme northwestern corner of the state at an elevation of 900 feet These nuts, representing one of our best varieties, the Stuart, are sufficient evidence that the pecan will thrive in practically every locality in South Carolina, from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the sea | shore. Each of our farm homes should be surrounded by nut-bearing trees rather thau by other trees of less beauty and of no economic value. We pay high prices for small, inferior nuts when about our very doors can be grown the choicest sorts. Furthermore. there are large possibilities in the production of pecans for commercial purposes. Standard varieties seldom sell for less than 30 cents a pound. >et there is a profit in growing pecans at 10 cents a pound. A pecan orchard of good varieties gives pleasure as well as profit and is to any farm or suburban home a permanent and valuable asset. The most important point in the successful establishment of a pecan orchard is to use vigorous trees of good varieties. Varieties recommended for South Carolina are Stuart. Schley. Success, Van Daman, Frot o^uci, r aval, Ullll ?H)Il?y-WftK8r. HOI the trees carefully In large deep holes about 60 feet apart each way. Give them as much caro and attention as Is given your most profitable farm crop and you will not be disappointed In the results. A neglected pecan tree will yield no more profitable returns than will any other neglected crop or fruit tree. It is well to plant the orchards to garden or field crops, driving stakes beside the trees to prevent them from being bruised in cultivating. Intensive cultivation and fertilising of the crops between the rows of trees will usually be sufficient to keep the pecans growlng thriftily. A few nuts may he expected from each tree In three yekrs after transplanting and the amount will increase each year. By the tenth year the trees j should be yielding profitable crops. In fact, if a pecan orchard is cared for properly It will come into profitable bearing in about the same length of time as will an apple orchard. K. J. CRIDER, A.sociate Horticulturist.

J ?> i ; at Petrograd oh account of the wr.r,! the Norwegian tramp steamship, U1riken, finally got her release and went to Christiania, whence 3he sailed for New York on August 23. She has just reached here after a dangerous voyage, says the World of that city. In latitude 57.43, longitude 38.24, on September 1, the Ulriken struck a submerged obstruction, the character of which her skipper and her crew could not make out. The collision cost the Norwegian tramp her propeller. Tt happened in a heavy storm that did not abate for a month, j during which the steamer drifted 1,- j 166 miles. The Ulriken was swept ! dangerously near the coast of Ice- ' land and all aboard had given up hope when the weather conditions changed for the better. By filling the forward tanks with water the Ulriken's stern was lifted sufficiently high above the surface of the sea to make practicable the installment of the extra propeller she ! carried. This brought her safely to 1 1 New York. AT THE JUNGLE BAR a Bartender Monk?Confound these j pure-food laws! Jolly Jumbo?What's the trouble now ?
