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

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.

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.
