CHICK FEED NEEDS MINERAL BALANCE Slipped Tendons Prevent ed by Care of Ration. By C. S. Platt, Associate Professor Poul try Husbandry, New Jersey College. WNU Service. Slipped tendons, an abnormal con dition frequently found in chickens reared in batteries can be prevented by properly adjusting the mineral balance in the ration. This difficulty arises from an over- supply of phosphorus along with a lack of calcium in relation to the phosphorus content of the feed. Baby chick feeds containing 10 per cent or more meat scrap, supplemented with bone meal, will have a phos phorus content of at least one per cent, while a phosphorus content of only one-half of one per cent is all that is needed for normal develop ment. In order to keep the phosphorus at the proper level, it is necessary to restrict the amount of fish scrap, meat scrap, or bone meal to five per cent of the mash mixture. Any protein required in addition to five per cent meat or fish should be sup plied by milk in some form. When chicks are being reared on a floor or are allowed to run outdoors, slipped tendons will not appear, even though the phosphorus content of the ration may be as high as one per cent Regardless of the actual amount of the phosphorus present or the condition under which the birds are being reared, it is necessary for normal, development that the calcium content be kept at a level two or three times greater than that of the phosphorus. Iron and Copper Needs for the Poultry Flock Chickens, like mammals, need both iron and copper for building hemoglobin, the content of red blood cells. The question has arisen whether practical laying rations con tain enough of these elements to prevent anemia, or whether they could be improved by adding sup plements of iron and copper. Tests at the Wisconsin experiment station indicate that a practical lay ing ration will supply enough iron and copper to meet the needs of hens without supplementing the ration with extra amounts of these elements. At any rate, feeding addi tional iron and copper in the tests failed to increase either the hemo globin content of the blood or egg production. The pullets in these tests were of the White Leghorn breed and re ceived whole wheat and corn as scratch feed, along with a mash consisting of 100 parts of yellow corn, 50 of oats, 50 of barley, 100 of bran, 100 of middlings, 75 of meat scraps, 25 of dried milk, 25 of al falfa, 5 of iodized salt and 5 of sar dine oil. The pullets also were given free access to oyster shells and Mater. When Chickens Sneeze Infectious bronchitis is one of the most dreaded of poultry diseases for four reasons It is difficult to cure; it is infectious and it is usually fatal, besides being very distressing to the patient. One of the common signs that the birds have this dis ease is their coughing and wheezing in trying to get rid of excess mucus and clotted blood in the larynx and trachea. Here are other symptoms: The lining of these organs becomes swollen. There is difficult breathing as in cases of gapes. The neck is extended to facilitate breathing; there is a loud wheezing. Fowls violently shake their heads; there are paroxysms of coughing that terminate in death of the fowl. Lay ing flocks that become infected al ; ways suffer a sharp decline in lay i ing and usually 30 days or more will elapse before they get back to i normal. > - c- / Black bears beg like this on Go- ing-to-the-Sun highway in Glacier National park.

Washington. — The treasury de partment’s law enforcement agen cies struck at crime recently in a coast to coast “cleanup." The sud den offensive resulted in the arrests of 1,068 alleged violators of narcot ics, liquor, customs, and counter feiting laws. Harold N. Graves, co-ordinator of the treasury department en forcement agencies, said this major offensive, the first since March, 1935, would have a good "psychological effect" and act as a “strong deter rent” to crime. In the narcotics and liquor divi sions, 2,500 agents closed in on vio lators. Texas and California were the centers of smuggling activities. However, 26 persons were arrested in Richmond, Va., which was de scribed by authorities as a center ot a thriving narcotics trade. B. M. Martin, southeastern narcotics sup ervisor stated. "The ease with which dope is pur chased in Richmond, has caused a great influx of addicts whose petty thievery costs the local merchants at least $50,000 annually.” Alcohol tax agents seized 294 il licit stills and over 5.000 gallons ot liqi or and property valued at $75,- 000. Co-ordinator Graves explained, “It was probable that most of those taken would have been arrested dur ing the regular day-by-day activities of treasury agents, but that it was preferable to conduct big enforce ment drives occasionally in order that suspects might be taken by sur prise, with no opportunity to flee to ‘hide outs’. The drive was planned more than a month ago. We have scouted all suspected localities in the field, and used coast guard am phibian planes to spot stills. We are very well satisfied.” “Millionaire Beggar” Is Given Jail Term Toronto, Ont.—Joe Bevan, To ronto’s “millionaire beggar," is in jail again. Bevan, who has money in va rious savings banks in the city, and who always carries a good supply of cash, has been arrested scores of times for begg'ng in the last 20 years. Until a short time ago Bevan always paid his fine by check, but the courts have stopped giving him an alternative to a jail sen tence in the way of a fine. This time he got three months.
