Necrobacillosis 
Would you tell us what is the matter 
with our pigs and what to do for them? 
They are just a few days old and seem 
to be rotting. It starts in the head, and 
they rot until they die. Their eyes close 
ami they are unable io walk around. 
Pennsylvania. k. f. b. 
The sores referred to are caused by 
germ invasion of scratches, abrasions or 
cuts on the lining membrane of the mouth 
or the skin of the face and jaws. Often 
the little sharp teeth in new-born pigs 
start the trouble by lacerating the gums, 
lips and face of the fighting (tigs, and 
they may also lacerate the teats of the 
sows and cause such pain that she re¬ 
fuses to let the pigs nurse, and may also 
contract garget, which makes the milk 
poisonous for tin* pigs. It is therefore 
well to nip oil' the sharp teeth, provided 
it is done without bruising or cutting the 
gums. It should be done as soon as the 
teeth are seen to be present, and that 
usually is at birth. The next step should 
be to seek the prevention of infection by 
the tilth germ Bacillus necrophorus. This 
micro-organism is found normally in the 
intestines of hogs, and is therefore pre¬ 
valent in all places where swine have 
been kept. It is present in filth on the 
lloor and in yards, gets onto the teats of 
the sow and so infects the wounds men¬ 
tioned. Before farrowing, the sow should 
he moved into a clean, disinfected, freshly 
bedded box stall, preferably a new colony 
house OH grass. Before tin* pigs are born, 
and afterwards, the udder and teats 
should be washed with a 2 per cent solu¬ 
tion of coal tar disinfectant, also includ¬ 
ing the rear parts of the sow. Just after 
farrowing, too. and before the pigs are 
allowed to nurse, the genitals of the sow 
should be syriuged out with blood warm 
boiled water containing two ounces of 
salt to the gallon. These measures are 
absolutely necessary if the disease is to 
he prevented, but they do not suffice. It 
is also necessary to souse the heads of the 
pigs at birth over and over again in the 
warm water containing one ounce of per¬ 
manganate of potash to the gallon. In 
places where the disease has been preva¬ 
lent it is even better to use a solution of 
twice that strength. AYheu the first sign 
of tiie disease is noticed, swab each lump 
ami sore with tincture of iodine. Then 
split each lump on the nose or face wide 
open with a sharp knife and saturate 
with tincture of iodine. Also scrape each 
ulcer clean, swab with tincture of iodine 
and then swab them and the lumps on 
the snout twice daily with a 2 per cent 
solution of permanganate of potash. 
Rickets is a complication in the worst 
form of necrobacillosis, called necrotic 
rhinitis, bullnose or snuffles. There is 
no successful remedy for that disease. 
Affected pigs should be killed and burned. 
Breed from sound stock. Feed complete¬ 
ly. Maintain sanitary conditions. 
Young Turkeys with Sore Eyes 
Will you give me a remedy for little 
turkeys that have sore eyes? The little 
turkeys are smart and active when they 
are hatched. We keep them in on a barn 
floor where it is dry, and they can get 
sunlight and fresh air. We give them a 
drink of buttermilk when they are IS 
hours old, and then we feed them boiled 
eggs, bread crumbs and onion tops, all 
cut up fine. We keel' buttermilk before 
them all the time. The little turkeys’ 
eyes av<> all right for the first week or 
two. Then there will be two or three out 
of 15 with their eyes shut iu the morning. 
There seemed to he matter that stuck 
their eyes shut. We would open them 
and they would lie all right the rest of ttie 
day. The longer they have it. the worse 
(lie eyes get. They get so that their eyes 
are shut, all the time. They eat well, even 
if they cannot see much.' We open their 
eyes every time we feed them. We have 
'lie little turkey that has had it three 
weeksf we wash his eyes nut with boric 
acid, blit that did not serin to help much, 
so we quit using it. It has got sores in 
both corners of tin- month in the last 
few days. It also has diarrhea in the 
Iasi day or so. w. o. 
1 Plan-on, N. Y. 
Your description of this disease is sug¬ 
gestive of roup, affecting chiefly the eyes 
of these voung turkeys, and vour treat¬ 
ment is about all that can be applied. As 
roup and similar troubles are contagious, 
flic affected birds should be promptly re¬ 
moved from the flock and utensils from 
which they have eaten or drunk should lie 
(leaned and sterilized with boiling water 
before being again used by healthy birds. 
The eyes, nostrils and mouth may be 
el«-ansed several times daily with a solu¬ 
tion of boric acid in water, one ounce 
of boric acid to quart of soft water, and 
a drop or two of a 15 per cent solution of 
argyrol. to be obtained from ynitr drug¬ 
gist. may be placed in each eye of the 
affected bird twice daily for several days. 
Roup, however, is difficult of satisfac¬ 
tory treatment, and the danger of keeping 
it oil the premises and permitting it to 
spread if sick birds are kept, for under 
medical care is likely to more than coun¬ 
terbalance any gain from such treatment. 
A young turkey with closed eyes, sores 
about the mouth and diarrho-a is certainly 
beyond nn\ hope ,f successful treatment, 
•""d f s 1 ’. old be killed ami its body 
burned. Without particular attention to 
cleanliness of hands and utensils, the 
genus of the disease may easily be car¬ 
ried by the one who handles the sick 
birds to healthy members of the flock.

Feed for Mother and Puppies 
Will you inform me what a good bal¬ 
anced ration would be for an Airedale 
brood matron and litter of pups? 
New Jersey. j.. y. yt. 
Shortly after the puppies are born give 
the mother a drink of warm milk and 
some meat an hour or two later. After 
that she may be fed her customary ra¬ 
tions. increasing the amount if the milk 
shrinks in flow. As a rule it. is best to 
feed a dog only one meal a day. iu the 
evening, but with a litter she may be fed 
an additional im-al of milk and oatmeal 
or stale bread moistened with soup or 
gravy. Do not feed potatoes or corn- 
meal, but allow vegetable soup and some 
meat. Raw beef bones may be fed two 
or three times a week, but avoid chicken 
bones, which tend to splinter and cause 
trouble. (live parboiled liver now and 
then when there is a tendency to consti¬ 
pation. Start weaning the puppies at 
i wo. weeks ol<l by feeding them cow's milk, 
blood warm, four or live times daily. 
Thcu one meal a day of shredded wheat 
and milk may be substituted for one of 
plain in ilk, and as the puppies grow and 
thrive they may also be allowed soup, 
meat and later dog biscuit. Gradually' 
lessen the milk allowance when puppies 
are four months old, Complete weaning 
may take place at six weeks, but it is 
usual to leave the puppies with thpir dam 
for two mouths. Worms are the bane of 
puppy hood. They may be greatly les¬ 
sened in attack or injury by giving the 
puppies half to one teaspoon of syrup 
of buckthorn once a week right along. 
If worms are then seen to be present 
powdered areea nut should he given in 
cream or soup, allowing one grain for 
each pound of body weight, and twice that 
amount if the puppies are well grown. 
Fluid extract of pink root ( spigejja) and 
senna is preferred by some dog experts. 
Repeated doses are given until scouring 
starts. That usually gets rid of the 
worms. Let the puppies have plenty of 
exercise on grass when strong and able to 
run about. Also allow fresh drinking 
water. If the slightest sign of rickets 
starts add emulsion of cod liver oil to 
the ration, or smear it on the puppies’ 
breasts and let them lick it off if it can¬ 
not be given otherwise. 
Tankage for Poultry 
What is the feeding value of tankage 
for poultry? We are feeding balanced 
rations, and can secure high-grade tank¬ 
age. 60 per cent protei a. for a nominal 
figure. ('an we substitute it for meat 
scrap? It would mean quite a saving. 
Jackson. O. r. a. c. 
While used by some poultryiuen, tank¬ 
age does not seem to have ever come into 
high favor as a poultry food, being con¬ 
sidered more suitable for bogs than liens. 
It is apt (o lie less uniform in quality, is 
said to he less palatable and not to be 
productive of as good results. If you can 
procure a high-grade product, however, I 
know of no reason why you should not 
try it out in at least an experimental way 
and determine for yourself whether or not 
you can profitably replace meat scrap 
with it. I have had no personal experi¬ 
ence with it. m. b. D.
