TESTING BREEDING FLOCK FOR PULLORUM MAY AVOID CHICK LOSS NEXT SPRING 1— Indiana poultrymen can avoid possible serious chick losses next spring by having the birds selected for next year’s breeders tested this fall for pullorum disease, says Wm. Kohlmeyer, extension poultryman ot Purdue University. Pullorum disease, or bacillary white diarrhea, kills more young chicks than any other one disease, accordin’ to poultry specialists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. This disease passes from the hen to the chick through the egg, and the best way to control it is to cull out all infected breeding stock. Eliminating pullorum disease from farm and commercial flocks is one of the main points in the program of the National Poultry Improvement Plan adopted by many Indiana breeders and hatchery men. Testing the flocks for the disease is a job for a trained person, says Mr. Kohlmeyer. Hatcheries have taken advantage oi favorable fall weather to push this work along. More than 60 Indiana hatcheries have been issued supplies for pullorum testing up to November 1. Other objectives under the National Poultry Improvement Plan are the selection of standardbred flocks that have vigor and the ability to produce %ggs profitably. The breeding methods outlined in the national plan are desirable for any poultrymen, whether he is enrolled under the national plan or not, Mr. Kohlmeyer points out.

YOUNG STOCK MAY THREATEN HEALTH OF MILKING HERD By G. A. WILLIAMS Young dairy stock pastured away from the home farm during summer and brought back in the tell should not' be allowed to mingle with the healthy milking herd until the health of such animals has been tested. Recently, in conversation with a dairyman, we learned that losses, which have proved costly, were the result of such an experience. When young stock are not under constant supervision during the pasture season, infected animals in adjoining fields may break in, and thus infect the young herd. If a bull is allowed to run with the heifers -n order that they may freshen later on anlmafr may abort and be rebred without tbe owner knowing n. When these animals freshen, they readily infect the milking hprfi or they are together. Dairymen who are bringing back their young stock from distant pastures should isolate them until tests can be made. Such a plan is highly important if disease-free herds are to be maintained. Only a healthy herd can be a high producing herd. Preventive measures are more proltable than control measures. Roper Stoves with Dri-gas invades |ow price field- 1939 models now ready.

Though slightly different from the old saying, this rule is many times more valuable in protecting youngsters when they are riding in an automobile, George Barton, chief safety engineer of the Chicago Motor cjub pointed out today. “Many serious injuries and even deaths result each year from small children standing on automobile seats OF floors to see out When the car is ip motion,” he said. “A sudden turn gr stop of the Car can throw them against the window or on the floor, frequently causing broken bones or more serious tn. juries.” Cook with Dri-gas the Bottled Cooking Gas.
