THE  LONG  ISLAND  POULTRY  CONTEST 
Still  another  egg-laying-  contest  is  to  be  re¬ 
corded  at  the  New  York  Institute  of  Applied  Ag¬ 
riculture,  at  Farmingdale,  Long  Island.  Fifty- 
pens  of  pullets  and  three  pens  of  ducks  are  being 
tested.  This  is  the  third  year  of  the  test.  The 
first  year  pens  of  20  birds  were  established. 
The  second  year  these  pullets,  as  yearly  hens, 
were  used  as  breeders,  and  in  the  third  year  20 
pullets  from  these  breeding  pens  were  again 
tested.  The  plan  is  very  much  the  same  as  that 
developed  at  Vineland  and  in  Bergen  County, 
New  Jersey.  Long  Island,  being  a  great  duck 
country,  it  was  natural  that  pens  of  ducks 
should  be  entered,  and  the  figures  below  show 
three  such  pens.  The  list  given  brings  the  rec¬ 
ord  up  to  June  5,  this  being  Bulletin  No.  31:

A  Rhode  Island  Turkey  Woman  Talks 
Some  weeks  ago  Mrs.  Geo.  C.  Bennett 
of  Rhode  Island  spoke  of  her  success  in 
raising  turkeys  in  spite  of  the  disease 
known  as  blackhead.  We  have  had  many 
letters  from  our  readers  about  this,  and 
of  course  Mrs.  Bennett,  being  a  busy 
farmer’s  wife,  cannot  answer  all  such 
communications.  She  says  she  has  re¬ 
ceived  70  letters,  and  has  now  given  us 
the  facts  about  her  way  of  raising  the 
turkeys,  so  that  we  may  answer  as  far 
as  possible  through  The  R.  N.-Y. 
Mrs.  Bennett  says  that  she  gathers  the 
turkey  eggs  daily  and  keeps  them  in  a 
moderately  warm  place.  They  are  turned 
over  every  two  or  three  days,  until  ready 
to  set.  Her  method  is  to  use  common 
barnyard  hens  for  hatching  the  turkey 
eggs.  These  hens  are  well  dusted  with 
insect  powder  when  going  on  the  nest, 
and  also  two  or  three  days  before  the 
young  birds  are  hatched. 
As  a  first  meal  for  the  young  turks 
they  are  fed  on  dandelion  leaves,  chopped 
fine  ;  the  next  day  hard-boiled  eggs  chop¬ 
ped  up  in  the  shell,  cracker  crumbs  and 
chopped  greens.  These  are  mixed  and 
moistened  with  milk.  A  little  sour  milk 
also  will  help. 
Following  this  diet,  she  makes  a  feed 
of  one  cup  of  hominy  or  meal  and  a  heap¬ 
ing  teaspoonful  of  beef  scrap  and  a  table¬ 
spoonful  of  grit.  This  is  scalded  well 
with  boiling  water,  and  a  cup  of  sour 
milk  added.  Then  enough  wheat  bran  is 
added  to  this  mixture  to  make  it  light, 
but  not  sticky.  This  is  fed  five  times 
daily,  until  the  birds  are  three  weeks  old, 
and  as  the  turkeys  grow  they  get  what 
they  need  in  three  or.  five  feeds  a  day. 
This  mash  is  used  until  the  turkeys  are 
several  months  old ;  then  Mrs.  Bennett 
says  she  gives  whole  oats  for  one  meal, 
and  rolled  oats  are  thrown  out  whenever 
they  seem  to  want  something  between 
meals.  These  oats  are  not  given  until  the 
turkeys  are  four  months  old.  They  get 
no  corn  until  they  are  six  months  old ; 
they  keep  grit  and  sour  milk  before  the 
little  turkeys  all  the  time,  and  give  very 
little  water.  The  birds  must  be  exam¬ 
ined  frequently  for  lice,  and  look  particu¬ 
larly  between  the  wing  quills.  Both  the 
hen  mother  and  the  little  poults  should  be 
powdered  frequently.  The  coops  are 
raised  about  three  inches  above  the 
ground  to  insure  a  dry  floor.  Of  course 
the  houses  must  be  kept  clean  and 
sprinkled  occasionally  with  lime.  The 
turkeys  are  kept  away  from  the  henyard 
and  on  as  clean  ground  as  possible. 
As  for  dosing  the  turkeys,  Mrs.  Ben¬ 
nett  says  that  when  the  birds  are  three 
weeks  old  she  gives  them  each  about  five 
drops  of  oil  of  turpentine.  This  is  put 
into  a  little  of  their  mash,  and  when  that 
has  been  eaten  the  birds  get  the  rest  of 
their  breakfast.  She  does  this  once  a 
week  until  they  are  three  or  four  months 
old,  increasing  the  dose  a  drop  or  two  as 
the  turkeys  grow.  If  a  turkey  three  or 
four  months  old,  or  older,  shows  indica¬ 
tions  of  blackhead,  Mrs.  Bennett  gives 
him  one-fourth  of  a  teaspoon ful  of  tur¬ 
pentine,  mixed  in  three  spoonfuls  of  cas¬ 
tor  oil.  Mix  it  thoroughly  when  the  dose 
is  given.  Sour  milk  is  a  most  useful  feed 
for  the  turkeys,  but,  Mrs.  Bennett  says, 
do  not  use  pasteurized  milk.  That  will 
not  sour  properly,  but  becomes  putrid 
and  will  do  more  harm  than  good. 
This  seems  like  a  simple  plan  of  raising 
the  birds.  Mrs.  Bennett  says  that  it 
gives  her  great  satisfaction,  and  that  she 
is  able,  by  following  this  simple  plan,  to 
raise  good  flocks  of  healthy  turkeys. 
Poultry  Feeding  Problems 
Can  I  make  any  desirable  change  in  my 
poultry  ration?  I  read  so  many  times  to 
cut  out  the  Alfalfa  meal.  I  do  not  like 
to  do  this,  as  my  hens  like  this  mash 
with  Alfalfa  very  much,  but  I  want  to 
ask  whether  I  shall  cut  the  beef  scrap 
down  to  75  lbs.  Scratch  feed  is  400  lbs. 
cracked  corn,  200  lbs.  wheat.  Mash  is 
100  lbs.  beef  scrap,  100  lbs.  bran,  100 
lbs.  middlings,  100  lbs.  cornmeal,  100 
lbs.  ground  oats,  100  lbs.  Alfalfa  meal. 
'In  addition  they  have  salt,  charcoal, 
oyster  shells,  sprouted  oats,  and  every 
afternoon  about  20  quarts  wet  mash,  the 
above  mash,  with  about  10  lbs.  semi¬ 
solid  buttermilk.  I  feed  this  ration  Sum¬ 
mer  and  Winter,  and  for  the  last  three 
years  have  had  good  results ;  never  much 
sickness  and  good  production,  p.  m.  w. 
New  Jersey. 
If  one  is  to  judge  the  value  of  a  ration 
from  the  results  obtained  by  our  most 
successful  and  practical  poultrymen, 
there  is  but  one  conclusion  concerning 
the  use  of  beef  scrap  and  tankage.  A 
certain  amount  of  animal  protein  seems 
to  be  necessary  for  egg  production.  At¬ 
tempts  have  been  made  to  substitute  fish¬ 
meal  in  part  for  beef  scrap  and  tankage, 
either  with  or  without  skim-milk,  butter¬ 
milk  or  the  so-called  dry  milk.  Likewise 
numerous  experiments  have  been  made 
with  the  object  of  substituting  the  pro¬ 
teins  found  in  oilmeal,  copra  meal,  glu¬ 
ten  feed  and  Alfalfa  meal  for  the  animal 
protein.  A  careful  compilation  of  these 
experiments  shows  conclusively  that  meat 
scrap  and  tankage,  when  supplemented 
with  skim-milk  or  some  of  the  so-called 
by-products  from  milk,  invariably  pro¬ 
duce  the  best  results. 
There  is  a  difference  of  opinion  con¬ 
cerning  the  advisability  of  using  Alfalfa 
meal  in  rations  for  poultry.  At  the  Wis¬ 
consin  station  a  number  of  years  ago 
Doctors  Hart  and  Steinbach  published 
results  of  experiments  suggesting  that 
bulk  was  an  important  factor  in  poultry 
nutrition,  and  it  was  believed  that  Al¬ 
falfa  meal  would  supply  this  quality  in 
admirable  fashion.  The  findings  at  the 
Massachusetts  station  failed  to  confirm 
the  results  of  these  tests.  It  was  ob¬ 
served  during  these  trials  that  Alfalfa 
meal,  while  palatable,  proved  too  bulky 
and  that  the  egg  production  diminished 
as  the  amount  of  Alfalfa  meal  in  the  ra¬ 
tion  increased.  It  seems  therefore,  that 
whatever  you  do  it  is  important  that 
either  beef  scrap  or  digester  tankage  be 
included  in  your  mash. 
As  to  whether  meat  meal  should  be 
chosen  rather  than  tankage  would  de¬ 
pend  largely  upon  the  relative  cost  of  a 
unit  of  protein  from  the  different  sources. 
Some  of  the  most  popular  brands  of  pre¬ 
pared  feeds  for  poultry  contain  Alfalfa 
meal.  Legislation  in  a  number  of  States 
has  been  against  this  practice,  for  it  is 
claimed  that  Alfalfa  meal  is  a  roughage 
and  out  of  place  in  concentrated  mixtures 
intended  for  poultry  feeding. 
Popular  rations  for  poultry  that  are 
fed  nowadays  do  not  contain  the  variety 
of  ingredients  that  were  considered  nec¬ 
essary  a  number  of  years  ago.  In  some 
feeds  animal  protein  is  incorporated  and 
the  other  ingredients  obtained  from  four 
or  five  different  sources.  It  is  largely  a 
matter  of  compounding  the  mixture  so  as 
to  make  it  palatable,  nutritious  and  at¬ 
tractive  to  the  birds,  so  that  they  will 
consume  enough  for  maximum  produc¬ 
tion.  My  observation  suggests  that  more 
variation  should  be  made  between  your 
Winter  and  Summer  conditions ;  but, 
after  all,  results  measure  success.F.  c.  M. 
Ventilation  of  Henhouse 
Is  there  enough  ventilation  in  a  hen¬ 
house  18x22  ft.?  It  is  4  ft.  high  at  the 
sides,  and  in  the  center  7  ft.  high. 
There  are  two  windows  facing  the  east, 
two  facing  the  west  and  three  facing  the 
south.  Would  there  be  ventilation  enough 
if  the  three  windows  to  the  south  were 
left  open  through  the  Winter  or  shall  I 
fix  the  windows  some  other  way?  Is 
there  any  other  way  to  ventilate  it  with¬ 
out  changing  the  windows?  E.  H. 
West  Wareham,  Mass. 
The  test  of  ventilation  is  dryness  of 
the  interior.  If  the  walls  of  the  poul¬ 
try-house  become  damp,  there  is  not  a 
sufficiently  rapid  interchange  of  air.  As 
a  rule,  this  can  be  remedied  by  more  open 
windows  on  one  side  of  the  building.  To 
avoid  drafts  through  the  building,  win¬ 
dows  are  opened  only  upon  one  side,  pre¬ 
ferably  the  south  side.  In  the  case  of 
your  building,  the  three  windows  in  the 
south  wall  should  be  left  open  and  those 
in  the  other  walls  made  airtight.  If  the 
windows  are  of  sufficient  size,  this  will 
probably  suffice.  During  warm  weather, 
open  windows  freely,  or,  better,  take 
them  out.  M.  B.  d. 
Aspergillosis 
Can  you  tell  me  what  is  the  trouble 
with  my  chicks?  They  come  along  and 
thrive  for  about  four  or  five  weeks,  then 
they  develop  a  whistling,  sneezing  sound 
at  night,  as  if  they  had  a  cold,  but  there 
is  no  discharge  from  the  eyes  or  nose. 
This  rattling  sound  is  noticeable  for 
about  three  days,  when  they  begin  dying, 
about  8  or  10  a  day  from  each  brood  of 
300.  It  seems  to  take  the  big  husky 
ones  just  as  much  as  the  weaker.  Some 
will  dump  around  for  a  day,  others  will 
die  inside  of  an  hour.  I  find  on  disect- 
ing  them,  a  hard  material,  sometimes 
cheesy,  in  the  blind  intestines  and  a  few 
have  spots  on  liver.  I  am  feeding  Cor¬ 
nell  mash,  scratch  grain,  and  semi-solid 
buttermilk,  paste  form.  They  have  free 
range  and  plenty  of  green  stuff.  Broods 
have  been  reared  on  some  of  the  same 
ground  for' three  or  four  years,  but  it 
is  very  dry  and  sandy,  and  is  sowed  to 
oats  early  in  the  Spring.  Do  you  think 
there  is  anything  they  could  get  off  this 
ground  that  would  cause  the  trouble? 
It  seems  to  be  just  as  prevalent  among 
a  brood  where  there  have  been  no  chicks 
raised  for  two  seasons.  g.  e.  j. 
New  York. 
A  disease  called  aspergillosis,  or 
brooder  pneumonia,  is  responsible  for 
many  deaths  among  young  chicks,  with 
similar  symptoms  to  those  you  mention. 
This  is  caused  by  fungus  growths,  de¬ 
rived  from  musty  and  moldy  litter  or 
other  vegetable  matter,  perhaps  from 
moldy  food,  which  attach  themselves  to 
the  mucus  lining  of  the  chick’s  respira¬ 
tory  organs  and,  in  their  growth,  pro¬ 
duce  the  symptoms  of  obstruction  to 
breathing.  These  molds  may  also  attack 
the  digestive  organs  and  be  found  as 
growths  upon  the  liver.  It  is  a  disease 
to  be  prevented,  rather  than  cured,  and 
prevented  by  avoiding  the  use  of  any 
litter  or  food  that  may  contain  mold,  or 
fungus,  organisms.  Cleanliness  of  quar¬ 
ters,  with  light  and  air,  clean,  dry  litter 
and  wholesome  food  are  the  preventives. 
I  do  not  think  that  the  ground  upon 
which  the  chides  run  can  be  held  respon¬ 
sible  for  the  trouble,  unless  upon  it 
somewhere  may  be  found  rotting  vege¬ 
table  matter,  the  home  of  the  mold  known 
as  the  Aspergillus  fumigatus,  the  cause 
of  aspergillosis.  M.  B.  d. 
An  old  physician  was  noted  for  his 
brusk  manner  and  methods.  A  woman 
called  him  to  treat  her  baby,  who  was 
slightly  ailing.  The  doctor  prescribed 
castor  oil.  “But,  doctor,”  protested  the 
young  mother,  “castor  oil  is  such  an  old- 
fashioned  remedy.”  “Madam,”  replied 
the  doctor,  “babies  are  old-fashion-ed 
things.” — Edinburgh  Scotsman. 
“This  law  is  a  queer  business.”  “How 
so?”  “They  swear  a  man  to  tell  the

objects.” — Detroit  Free  Press.
