No Known CJur© for tlu^ Troubleâ€" Immediate Killing Kccouiinended â€" Turkeys Affet-fcd Should IVo Ket>t From OtJior Uiitl.s â€" Hand- ling Asparociu After the Cutting .Season. (Contributed by OntaHo Department ot Aijrrlculture, Toronto.) THE disease of turkeys com- monly known as blackhead (entcro-hcpatilis) is one that has caused untold havoc to the turkey-raising industry in North America. It is responsible for more sickness and deaths among turkeys than all other diseases coni- biued. It has practically stamped out turkey-raising in many districts. It is an infectious disease primarily affecting the intestines, more parti- cularly the caeca (blind pouches) and later the liver. It is caused by "Knlainoeba maleagridis," a minute unicellular animal orgauLsiu to see which a high power microscope is necessary. This minute organism is picked up with tho food on infected .soil. On reaching the caeca with the passage of food it penetrates the mu- cous lining where it induces inflaiu- iiiation, congestion, thickening of tho eaecal walls and ulceration. The contents of the caeca thicken into a clioesy or hard dry mass mixed with blood and broken-down epithelial ILssue from the mucous lining ot the eaecal walls. While this condition of the caeca is developing some of the entamoeba make their way lo the liver, where they establish themselves and mul- tiply. The ureas of tho liver ti.ssue in which tho entamoeba establish themselves soon become necrotic, that i.s they degenerate and die. On posl-iuortehi examination these ne- crotic areas are very noticeable as whitish or -gray, round to irregular, flat or slig'htly sunken patches in the liver tissue. Sometimes as much as sixty per cent, of the liver tissue will be composed of these necrotic areas. Needless to say the congestion and ulceration of the caeca and the ne- crosis (it tho liver interfere very materially with the functioning of these organs and as a consequence the affected bird becomes list less, niopy, loses flesh and the head loses its bright colored aiipearance, becom- ing dull in lustre and dark in color, which condition is responsible for the common name of the disease â€" black- head. Turkeys are liable lo contract the disease at any ago; Ihey, however, mostly become infected when yoflng. Many die as poults from an acute at- tack of the disease; others have the disease in a chronic form and live to maturity, but these arc never thrifty and always look poor and miserable when compared with healthy birds. There is no known cure for the disease. Turkeys that show tho symp- toms of the disease should be killed. If the disease be not too far advanced and tiie muscle meat in fair condi- lion, it may be used for huiuau cou- .sumption as there is little or no dan- ger of man contracting tho disease or suffering ill effects as u conse- quence, particularly if the meat is well cooked. The texture and flavor of the meat, howover, will not be so desirable as that from a healthy bird. Immediate killing of affected birds is recommended because the drop- pings from suqh are liable to be heav- ily infested with the organisms that cause the disease. These being scat- tered around will naturally spread the disease. It is from the drop- pings of affected birds that the land gets contaminated and other birds contract the disease. If affected turkeys are out on free raiige it is practically impossible to control the spread of the disease amongst olhers of the flock. If, how- ever, they are kept in colony houses and small runs there is a chance to practice hygienic measures which will limit tho dissemination of the cuiisal organism lo these small areas which can be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after the sick birds have been disposed of. The ordinary domestic fowl is lia- ble to suffer from the same trouble, but usually much less acutely than the turkey. In fact, the domestic fowl may hiubor the parasite with- out showing any signs of ill-health. For this reason Uuckhead is found more common amoiigsl itirkey.s iliat run with flocks of domestic fowl than amongst those which are kept by themstdves, hence turkeys should not be allowed to run with other lowl. â€" U.

Tho liist thing neces- sary is to stop all cutting no later llian llie flrst of July. At tliis time give tho bed a thorough cultivation and a heavy ct>at of manure lo the depth of about four to six inches. The addition of commercial fertilizer at the rale of 800 lo 1,000 pounds per acre made up largely of nitrogen ami phosphorous will be a great help tu it. Then allow the bed to grow until the fall, btiing sure that it is kept sprayed with poison Bordeaux Mixture lo keep down the asparagus rust and d«troy the asparagus bee- tle, both in the adult and lai^val stage. To this poisoned Hordeaux should bo added u sticker made of resin or soap as the spray will not adhere to the smooth surface unless this ia done. In October when the berries are lurnlng red all the tops should be cut off and burned lo re- move and danger of asparagus rust or larvae being carried over to next year. The final prepaiation in the fall is by ploughing toward the row. This will give drainage during the winter time, thus drying out the soil much earlier in the spring when tho burrows will he throw back and the bed gets a much earlier start. â€" A.U.McLeuaan, Tegetable Specialist.
