More About Blackhead 
I have been reading the arieles in The 
R. N.-Y. about blackhead in turkeys; the 
first article was in issue or July 9, 1921. 
I tried the fluid extract of ipecac, 10 drops 
three times a day. I have 22 turkeys; 
all died. I read another article on page 
101. This is interesting to me. for I 
have tried so hard to raise turkeys, I 
sometimes think it isn't blackhead, but 
worms. The droppings are liquid, yellow 
and frothy. When I dissect the birds, I 
find the liver much enlarged, all spotted 
when touched.

The intestines are like little white pipe- 
stems, so small that nothing could pass 
through them. I have had turkeys pass 
worms about six or seven inches long, 
like tapeworms, as many as 50 nt a time, 
and blood at. same time. I have given 
everything I ever heavd of, such as male 
ferm turpentine, kerosene, but they die 
just the same. I read in a farm paper 
some time ago that tapeworms in sheep 
causes liver rot; perhaps this is the case 
in turkeys-. Do you think my turkeys 
have blackhead? I raised nine out of 80 
last year, nud that is better than anyone

velopment. It has been found that the 
disease known as “gapes” in chickens is 
due to that source. It is quite likely that 
other disease germs also find a carrier in 
earthworms. It has been thought neces¬ 
sary to keep young turkeys penned up 
until the dew was dried off the grass; 
they must not, get wet. Mow about young 
wild turkeys? They are out in the dew 
and in storms. A neighbor whose farm 
adjoined mine hatched uine turkey poults 
and let them run with the mother turkey 
wherever they pleased. They were out 
in the dew every morning, out in thunder¬ 
storms, but every night the mother 
brought home for the evening feed nine 
poult-8 That was the only time in the 
day that he saw them. They were more 
thau half grown when one night he saw 
there were but eight; the uext night there 
were only seven, and they disappeared 
in that way until only three were left. 
Mr. Fox had been living on turkey for a 
week or more. He shut them up then, 
and saved the rest. G. a. c.

Excess of ilMieat Scrap 
We have a flock of hens. We feed 
them a ready-mixed mash, but we figured 
there is not sufficient meat scrap in the 
mash, so we add oue quart, of meat scrap 
to six quarts of mash, also charcoal. 
About a month ago we found one of our 
pullets lying down. I picked her up, and 
she was lame, acted droopy. I put her 
by herself, and the next morning she was 
dead. She was full of good-sized eggs, 
and there was a thin, rough, white skin 
that, covered all her organs; flesh a dark 
color. Do you think we are giving too 
much meat scrap? h. p. 
New Jersey. 
A printed formula amounts to little 
if quantities are not given. A peck 
measure filled with diamonds and cobble 
stones might he exceedingly valuable, or 
it might not. It helps some to know the 
percentage of protein, earbyhydrates and 
fiber; in fact, a whole lot; but even this 
doesn’t tell the whole story. Protein 
from Alfalfa and that from meat scrap 
are two quite different things in a poultry 
ration, nud we should want to know how 
much of each was used before we pur¬ 
chased it. By makiug this mash one- 
seventh beef scrap, when it already had 
what the makers considered enough, was 
probably overdoing the matter. |One- 
seventh part meat scrap is in itself about 
enough. We prefer a homemade mixture 
of simple grains and feeds, with meat 
scrap or milk, and do not care to pay 
grain prices for Alfalfa, salt, calcium 
carbonate (oyster shells) and wheat 
screenings. M. B. D.

Will you tell me what to do for incu¬

Now York. mbs. j. d. 
There is no cure for true white diar¬ 
rhoea caused by germs that obtain access 
to the chicks through the eggs from which 
they are hatched, or by contact with other 
diseased chicks or older fowls. This 
should be prevented by hatching only 
from flocks that are free from the disease, 
and by keeping the surroundings of the 
chicks clean. There are other diarrhoeas, 
however, in which there is a whitish dis¬ 
charge, and those have a variety of causes. 
Improper conditions of brooding, deleteri¬ 
ous food of some kind, improper methods 
of feeding, etc. Without knowing the 
cause in any case, it is impossible to 
suggest, a remedy. M. B. D.
