Remedies for Blackhead in Turkeys 
I have noticed certain articles regarding 
blackhead in turkeys, As far as I am 
aware, however, you have not mentioned 
the work of Professors Tuzzer and Fabyan 
of the Harvard Medical School, published 
by the Department of Agriculture, Bulle¬ 
tin No. 15, the commonwealth of Massa¬ 
chusetts. Briefly, they believe that the 
parasite, called histomonns moleugridis, is 
transmitted by an intestinal worm Ileter- 
akis papillosa. the latter found in almost 
all fowls. The eggs of the latter, dis¬ 
charged on the ground, are eaten by young 
turkeys, which thus contract the disease. 
The remedy of these authors is isolation 
and growing turkeys on ground not in¬ 
fested with ibis worm. It seemed to me 
that you should call the attention of your 
readers to this idea, as. if it is practical, it 
is an important matter. 
•ALBERT E. STEELE, M. D. 
The above communication from Dr. 
Steele I consider a very valuable oue. As 
I am informed the Drs. Wegeforth in 
California started raising turkeys on new 
ground, where, so far as known, no tur¬ 
keys had ever been raised before. They 
sent to Ohio aud got their stock. The 
first year the birds were healthy, no sign 
of blackhead. The second year blackhead 
destroyed uearly all their poults. One of 
the brothers moved to a new locality, 
where it was certain that no turkeys had 
been kept for 20 years. Agaiu there was 
splendid success in raising the birds dur¬ 
ing the first year, but the next year black¬ 
head appeared, with the usual bad result. 
This led to the autopsies, the examina¬ 
tions, and the efforts to find a cure, or, 
what is much better, a preventive of the 
disease. The doctors tried ipecac, with 
surprisingly good results, 'letting both, 
young and old birds have it. 
The farmer's wife who wishes to raise 
a few turkeys does not always find it 
practicable to move her coops to a new 
locality ; she must use things as they are. 
If an inexpensive preventive of the dis¬ 
ease that troubles her so much can be 
found, it certainly is a matter of impor¬ 
tance that the remedy or preventive 
should be made known. 
In using the treatment as a cure for 
birds already affected, it is quite possible 
that failures to cure are due to the fact 
that the disease has progressed too far— 
has got too strong a hold, to be overcome. 
Then, because a cure is not effected, the 
remedy is called “no good.” The disease 
may have progressed for weeks in the 
turkey poult before it has pulled down 
the bird enough to show in its outward 
acts and appearance. 
It is true also that there are other dis¬ 
eases affecting turkeys, the symptoms of 
which are so similar as to be easily mis¬ 
taken for true “blackhead,” but forwhieh 
the ipecac treatment is not a cure. Many 
a farmer’s wife who has hatched a fine 
flock of young turkeys, and dreamed of 
the things she would buy for herself and 
children with the money for those tur¬ 
keys. has had her visions vanish into thin 
air as she saw her young poults droop and 
die from day to day. If we can reduce 
this loss by one-half, it is certainly worth

Baby Chicks 
Poor Laying 
T have a flock of 40 Buff Rock pullets 
and only get about four or five eggs. I 
have tried different methods of feed!nit. 
hut with no better results. They have 
plenty of water and grit, and I feed 
them a scratch grain in a straw litter of 
buckwheat and occasionally wheat and 
barley. They get a wet mash of small 
potatoes, carrots, table scraps, bran and 
milk. This is fed warm. They are let 
out at noon to roam as thev will. For 
green stuff I feed them Alfalfa leaves and 
cabbage. They are fed two quarts of 
corn at roosting timp. The henhouse con¬ 
ditions are ideal for them: lots of sun¬ 
light and ventilation, but no drafts. 
E. C. 
From your description of your ration, 
I judge that you are not feeding these 
pullets food that would encourage egg 
production. All of the feeds that you 
mention, with the exception of bran and 
milk, are those of a fattening nature, and 
they need to be balanced hr feed stuff's 
containing more protein, and particularly 
protein of animal origiu. They will prob¬ 
ably lay well in Spring mid early Sum¬ 
mer on the ration that they are getting, 
but, for Winter production, they need 
something more. Try this mash in plaop 
of the one that yon arc using: Equal 
parts, by weight, of bran, middlings, corn- 
meal, ground oats and beef scrap. If yon 
have fill the milk that the pullets will 
consume, cut down the proportion of beef 
scrap one-half. Feed your mixture of 
grains night and morning as scratch 
grain, and either keep the mash dry al¬ 
ways before the pullets, or feed it mois¬ 
tened with skim-milk or water at. noon, 
giving all that the fowls will quickly 
clean up. Table scraps may he fed also, 
but a mash of table scraps, potatoes, car¬ 
rots and bran and buckwheat, barley and 
corn for whole grains, is a more suitable 
ration for fattening fowls than for pi*o- 
ducing eggs. M. b. d.
