Botulism Equally
Fatal lo Poultry
Any spoiled canned foods which
are even suspected of containing
the botulism organisms are best
eompletcjy destroyed or burled
because they are Just as poison
ous to chickens as to man, say3
G. V. Copson, head of the bac
teriology department of Oregon
.stale college. Whole flocks of
chickens have been desl toyed by
feeding spoiled corn or beans to
them, causing (lie disease com
monly called limbcrneck, which
is In reality botulism.
"Since the same germ-, causes
. botulism in man and limbcrneck
In fowls, it is .highly dangerous to
feed spoiled vegetables to chick
ens," says Copson. "Furthermore,
any chance appearance of Urn
berneck in chickens Is n warning
to be on the lookout for spoilage
in home canned vegetables, 'I he
only safe way to be, certain of
avoiding botulism poisoning is to
mukc sure that; nil home canned
vegetables. are boiled for 2(1 min
utes before being tasted, and on
the day they are lo be consumed."
fn fowls botulism produces a
genera) intoxication by which the
muscles become progressively
pandyzed, Copson explained.
First there Is a paralysis of the
leg and neck muscles, followed by
a slopping 01 tne heart. In a re
cent test conducted nt the col
lege u bantam hen fed canned
corn inoculated with laboratory
cultures of the botulism organism
developed limbcrneck In 24 hours
and died In two days.

Alfalfa Good Index
To Value of Soil
V. L. Powers, head of the soils
department at Oregon State col
lege, reports alfalfa as being a
good Indicator as to the produc
tivity of soils. Alfalfa is fre
quently a valuable index crop to
show the production value of Irri
gated land. A rule made and
useful, according to Powers, is
that water right land and the
land prepared to receive water,
on the alfalfa basis, will support a
production valuation on the or
der of S25 to S30 per ton of annual
yield. On this basis land that pro
duces four tons per acre will sup
ply a valuation of $100 to $120
per acre..
Another useful rule found is
that alfalfa land can pay the to
tal water charge of one dollar per
ton per acre. This means that
land producing five tons per acre
would have a total land charge of
five dollars which would cover
all construction costs, payments,
and operation and maintenance
costs.
Alfalfa yield is an indicator of
natural soil fertility and grow
ing climate, a legume and valu
able forage plant that may usually
be used with livestock enterprises
whereby soil fertility may be eco
nomically maintained.

Coxey and Blackhead
As we have told vou before,
we have a feed for everything
on the farm. The list includes
"lutein" Mash for the control of
Lilackhead and Coccldiosis.
There are doens of "cures"
for these diseases on the mar
ket. We have tried a number ol
them, and watched results from
a number of others, and haven't
seen one yet that does mil do
lcnd for results on the sanitarv
program that is included with
the medicine. In fact, with most
of them, the sanitation, without
the medicine would lie just as
satisfactory, and less expensive.
Not so with "lutein" Mash.
Annul eight years ago we tried
this feed for the first time, and
have had VKKY I"KV disap
pointments. In most cases, the
reduced mortality and immedi
ate improvement in the flocks
treated has been nothing short
of miraculous.
Many of our customers now
fi-ed "lutein" at the first symp
torn of Coxey or Blackhead! and
thereby avoid any loss at all.

Cow Tales
Considering the increased in
terest shown and Inquiries we
are receiving in regard to the
Milking Shorthorns, and where
to gel good foundation stock,
we believe it is time to get
some action.
We have written most of the
breeders west of the Hockios
that might have females for
sale. The answer always comes
back, "Nothing for Sale."
So. in desperation, we sent
several inquiries to the Central
West, I where herds are numer
ous, and some have several
hundred head). Replies so far
give us high hopes, so far as
price and quantity are concern
ed. But the freight rate will be
an important factor.
As "like produces like." we
will insist on RKCOI'.ns. as well
as individuals. Ion't judge the
breed by heresay. or by scrubs,
but see our two heifers i
CJreen, or any of the numerous
bulls we have placed.
In the meantime, don't ne
glect your present "Rossie." as
she requires plenty of good feed
and water, in addition to the
good grass she is now getting.
I'mpqua or Sunrise Dairy feed,
fed now, will show results all
summer long. Remember, it is
much easier to "keep them up,"
than to ' bring them back."
