SOREHEAD lii POULTRY
Extrcncly Cor.tnrjioi'.s Disease of
f-ov\'is Can Cause Serious Loss
Unices Promptly Checked.
Sorehead, a disease of chickens caused
by s toves of a common mold, appears
when fowls come in contact with
moldy luler or .moldy grain. It seems
not to be a constitutional disease. It
is usuuly eon fined to t*he face, comb,
wait las a: id earioocs. eyes, nostrils,
and mouth, but is occasionally found
uinl"i the wings in advanced or neglected
case-}. It is extremely contagious
and may spread through a
Hock in tivo or three days.
.Sorehead is oT two kinds, dry and
moist, according to the surface attacked
by the spores. If it is on the mucous
membrane of the eye, mouth, or
nostrils, me mo is! type develops; if
on the skin of jliie face or adjacent
parts, it will be the dry or warty variety.
The moist type is a most serious
.disease, growing rapidly. It soon
closes the eyelids, which swell to an
enormous sizo. blinds the fowl, anil
causes ic to waste ::way and die.
When sorehead appears, it is not
net essary to folate the diseased fowls
from the flock. Iconic tor moldy litter
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 pot.ash.
and paint the face and comb of
the apparently well chickens with
actual parts of ereolin 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 and
feed sprouted eats daily. Cook cheat)
meat. ? .it it up. and throw to tlie
chickens. .
The fowls that have the warts
should be caught and the crust of
each wart removed. The tissue underneath
is red. Dip a clean feather
in one of the remedies named below
and touch the red tissues with the
liquid. Next morning the treated wart
wilt have a black scab over it. which
dries and falls off in three or four
days. A week later one cannot de-;
tect where the wart was.
In treating the moist variety, it is1
necessary to drop the remedy into the
eye, nostrils, or whatever organ is at-j
tacked. This seems cruel, but It!
saves the fowl.
The remedy the writer prefers is
pure, undiluted creoltn. We have not;
lost a chicken from sorehead since
using this remedy. 11 will eradicate!
the disease from the eye and, if used
in time, will save the sight. Other j
good remedies are iodine, cresol or
similar disinfectant, zenoleum, all i
used undiluted; purple solution of permanganate
of potash, liquid shoe polish
(black), and solution of copperas
(as much as will lie on a 25-cent piece,
dissolved In a cup of water). A clean
feather Is best for applying the remedy.

To pin Fit a crop In well prepared

house and keeping it in repair but
without protection by insurance.
Should fire destroy it then it would be

Diseases and insect pests might overrun
them and ther. the crop is a loss
instead of profit. We sent out warnings
in the fall and the winter urging every
one to destroy the winter hotels of
insects. Have you none this careful
ly? Look again and see if tnere are
still any dirty terraces or ditch
hanks on the farm. Are there still an?

What plans have you made about

They will force themselves on you and
you can not stop it. They are genial

manure heaps and privy closets with
iV" out rid'.materials hanging (to their

it came to the table and when you

ri*rlit as far as iit. goes. Every time
you hit one square so as to mash it
there of course there is one fly loss
if you look upon it as an arithmetic j
problem, but do you suppose the whole
TT. S. army could swat all the flies
that breed about one good sized ill
kept dairy?
Flies can not chew solid food but
they dissolve it with their saliva and
then take it. Now imagine several
flitfs sitting on the jelly on your plate,
or on the sugar, spitting on it and ltckiiV?
it. With your hand you shoo the
flies away, run your knife or spoon under
the jelly, sugar or whatever it
may be and pass to the mouth.
Look after the manure and the
privy closets, which are the most important
breeding grounds, and reduce
the number of flies at the source.

Sheep and cattle very frequently

vorms are seen in the lining of the

rikir.g wavy pattern similar to that

oooth surface. The worms are sleni
and threadlike, but as they meas !

\) o damage occasioned by the presence
of those parasites in sheep aim
cattle is rather slight, though it has
b<* on determined that a closely related
parasite is intimately associated with
if net the casual agent of cancer in
lie stomach of rats.

yy ti-n* various species of dung; bcet1
are the source from which sheep
c;-.ttl~ become infested with tbe
pu'lot worm. These dung beetles may
1 ' '' und in almost any manure depos'i,
c\cr])t during the winter in cold
'imutes. The beetles usually craw!
under the manure deposit, enter from
he bottom, and feed on the innnoi
portion of the deposit as long as it
remains moist. When the beetles eat
the manure they swallow th^ gullet
1 norm eggs which have passed down
the esophagus through the stomach
and intestine and out in the manure
of the infested sheep or cow. As soon
as the manure becomes too dry and
' hard to work the dung beetles aban
! don it and crawl into the ground c
to other and fresher deposits. I
; about a month the eggs which we** aton
1 y the beetles have hatched and
,r veloped into an ensyrted stage r he
body of the beetle, ready to cor
i inue their development **hen the in,

j ho bcetbs ate no doubt eat- n unconsciously
as a rule, but as sheep and
.utile eat targe numbers of inset t.
since practically every plant is th nermanent
home or the temporary
' esting plate of a number of insects,
:t is perhaps a matter of more or less
' 'dlii'erciK'O to them even if they ar>
conscious of the presence of insects in
i mouthful of food. Tins is especially
rue of cattle, since cattle are noted
'or eating foreign objects, such as
nails, wire, bolts, knives, rubbers, etc.
Vr; ong the various kinds of insects
oi- ked up by sheep and cattle during"
.he course of a day, dung beetles ;i'"e
likely to be more 01 less numerous,
and of these some are likely to harbor
Yrval stages of the gullet worm, now
ready for the next stop in develop
merit. In the digestive tract of the
cow or sheep the beetles undergo partial
digestion, releasing the larval
worms, which make their way to tiro
gullet and burrow into its lining. Here
the worms become mature and in time
the female deposits eggs which pass
down the gullet and out in the manure
to carry on the life cycle.
It was found that under expreimental
conditions the eggs of the gullet
worm would develop to an infective
larva in croton bug? as well as in
dung beetles; but since croton bugs do
not breed in manure and are house
dwellers, it is evident that thev do
not. play any part in the natural trans
mission of the parasite. It is interesting
to note, however, that Danish
scientists have found a worm, similar
to the gullet worm of sheep and cattle,
which develops as a larva in croton
bugs, cockroaches, and mealworms,
and which occurs in nature in the gullet,'
mouth, tongue, and first portion
of the stomach of rats. This worm is
D, CONWAY, S. C.
extremely interesting from the fact i
already mentioned that its develop- |
ment in the rat is followed by the appearance
of cancer of the stomach, a
fact of great importance from a'
scientific ami medical standpoint. The
same parasite will also develop in
i apparently does not cause cancer in
these animals. (
While there is now a general recognition
of the importance of bitting insects
as carriers of such diseases as
malaria and yellow fever, and of such
insects as the fly as carriers of the
germs of typhoid fever and other bac
terial diseases, the fact cited above
show that insects have an importance v
not yet generally recognized as carriers
of parasites. From such para
sitic infection man himself is not immune.
It has long been known that
infestation with a certain kind of tapi
worm only occurs as the result of eat* 5
ing the fleas or lice of dogs, and the
list of cases of the occurrence of thi'.
tapeworm in man, and especially i; 1
children, indicates only too well tluu
cog llcas and lice are swallowed b.
