(Contributed by Ontario Department of Agrieutture, Toronto.) RETENTION of the afterbirth, foetal membranes or piaCep,- ta, commonly nailed ` "tike cleanings," is not, uncommon in cows. Its cause is not understood.• While it is probably more frequently met with in cows in low eondition and unsanitary surroundings, no care, food, attention or surroundings act as preventives. It is noticed in cows of all ages, all breeds, COWS IA all conditions and at all seasons. We cannot understand why it occurs, or why it cannot be prevented, but ex- perience x perienee teaches us that such is ti)e fact, Good care, comfortable sur rouudings, avoidanco of cold and dampness, especially in cold. Weather and giving a warm mash for a day or two after calving tend. tee aid ex pulsion of the membranes, but even all precautions frequently fail, The administration of medicines is ft - effecttve, In ordinary eases the mem- branes are expelled shortly or in a tew hours after parturition, while in other cases they are retained for 24 hours or longer and then spontan- eously expelled. In other cases spon- tn. a sousexpulsion does not take place. until after decomposition, when they are expelled in pus and small pieces. The symptoms are usually evident' by the protrusion through the vulva Of a portion of the membranes, but in rare cases this symptom is not present, the membranes being wholly contained within the uterus, In such cases, provided the cow- has been un- tied it is hard to know whether then are retained or have been eaten by the cow. Cows have' the objection- able habit of eating the afterbirth. We cannot account for this taste, and when possible it should -be prevented, In some cases the consumption of the membranes does not appear to affect the health or general condition of the animal; In others it causes trouble, and in some cases death from various conditions. Treatment. --When the membranes have been retained for 24 hours or over in warm weather or for forty- eight hours in cold weather they should be carefully removed by hand. Where a, veterinarian can readily be procured it is probably wise for the ordinary stock owner to employ him, but a stockman who understands the anatomy of the parts, and is not afraid of a dirty and sometimes ted- ious job can operate himself. The lining membrane of the womb is cov- ered with many little lumps (called cotyledons) which are attached by constricted necks, with surfaces vary- ing from one inch or less to three or four inches in diameter, to which the membranes are attached. The oper- ator should have an antiseptic lotion as a 2 per cent. solution of one of the coal tar antisetics in warm water, A gallon of two of this should be in- jected into the womb. The operator then disinfects his hand and arm with the same, introduces the hand into the womb hand carefully separates the membrane from each cotyledon, be- ing careful to not tear off any of them. If a tew are removed the con - Sequences are not Iikely to be ser- ious, but it is better to remove none. When the whole has been removed a little more of the antiseptic should be injected into the womb. It is good practice to give the cow 40 to 50 drops of carbolic acid in a part of cold water as. a drench, or sprin- kled on her food three times" daily until all discharge ceases.—J. H. R., 0. A. College, Guelph. • Grape Pruning For the Garden. The average neglected grapevine is generally such a tangled mess that it is 'very difficult to describe how to prune'' it. The owner should de- termine what sort of a trellis he means to fasten his vine on. If there are a number of vines in a row the. general practice is to grow it on two wires, these to be drawn tight on poets about 16 feet apart, -first. wire three feet and second "wire five feet from the ground.: If Only one or two vines are in a place it can be grown on a trellis made of two narrow strips of board nailed to posts. One thing never to be overlooked is all fruit is produced 011 last year's wood. Most -neglected vines have too much old wood. Try, to get one or two upright canes of . two-year-old wood or older. with- four arms or younger canes equally distributed on the two wires. These `arms • should not be over six feet- long, giving four, arms -of this .length: : This is suffi- cient bearing wood for any` vine. Sup- pose the' upright part -is satisfactory° and there are four arms on it, from these arms laterals or - side shoots will grow; on which the fruit is pro- duced.. A vine should be-pruned,af- ten' it :freezes before,. winter' and„ d fore it thaws in the spring. `. Pruning in mild weather causes bleeding from the cuts. The laterals that bore fruit should. be. cut back, only leaving one bud to! sprout the. following season' and the, fruit will greet' on that, spioute.. It; is' quite' easy to:",oecasion- ally'renew one. or more arms, by train- ing a young branch to take the older one's place.'; When that IS, done cut, off the old branch. With a little:• practice pruning is easy, thetcomnion fault:being to. leave too raiuck woo&., If in doubt as' to the above me v. tdiod of. - pruning, write'` for I'll "stre' �, ,aiirl Btflll�' tin 237, "The• Grape .!• in=Ontario:", x; - 'Scarcity of Feeder Cattle With thegrowing o i car it s � $ � •e ..y Of -feed- er cattle and: 'the advance:in vain,.

Considerable Mortality, No Known Cure for the Trouble -.- Immediate KilI,ing Recommended -Turkeys Affected • Should Be Kept From Other Birds -Hand. ling Asparagus After the Cutting Sermon. (Contributed by Ontario Department or Agriculture, Toronto.) HZ disease of turkeys com monly known as blackhead (entero -hepatitis) is one that has caused untold hayoc to the turkey -raising industry in North America, It is responsible for more sickness and deaths among turkeys than all other diseases com- bined. 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 le caused by "Entamoeba tnaleagrldis,” a minute unicellular animal organism to see which a high power microscope is necessary, This ,minute organism is picked up with the food on infected soil. On reaching the caeca with the passage of food it penetrates the me - Ow lining where it induces inflam- elation, congestion, thickening of the caecal walls and ulceration. The contents of the caeca thicken into a cheesy or hard dry mass mixed with blood . and broken-down epithelial tissue from the mucous lining of the caecal wane. While this condition of the caeca is developing some of the entamoeba make their way to the liver, where they establish themselves and mul- tiply. The areas of the liver tissue in which the entamoeba establish themselves soon become necrotic, that is they degenerate and die. On post-mortem examination these ne- erotic areas are very noticeable as whitish or gray, round to irregular, flat or slightly 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 dam, and the ne- crosis of the liver interfere very materially with the functioning of these organs and as a consequence the affected bird becomeslistless, mopy, loses flesh and the head loses its bright colored appearance, becom- ing dull in lustre and dark in color, which condition is responsible for the common name of the disease --black- head. Turkeys are liable to contract the disease at any age; they, however, mostly become infected when. young. 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 theseare never thrifty and always look poor and miserable when compared with healthy birds. There is no known cure for the disease. Turkeys that show the symp- toms of the disease should be killed. If the disease be not too far advanced and the muscle meat in fair condi- tion, it may be used for human con- sumption as there is little or no dan- ger of man contracting the disease or suffering i11 effects as a conse- quence, particularly if the meat is well cooked. The texture and flavor of the meat,however,will not be so vl desirable as that from a healthy bird. Immediate killing of affected birds is recommended because the drop- pings from such 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 range it is practically impossible to control the spread of the disease amongst others 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 the dissemination of the causal organism to 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 harbor the parasite with- out showing any signs of ill -health. For this reason blackhead is found more common amongst turkeys that run with flocks of domestic fowl than amongst those which are kept by themselves, hence turkeys should not be allowed' to run with other fowl.— D. owl.D. 11: Jones, O.A.C., Guelph. trot clam.anon--Heztry,Hawa d,°l nz T.a- zmont, ,F, C, Ka[llifliefthl-Dr: ,lie r 4c has ,;beeln elected 1St tool 'trugftenfor dime yearsin the, ',lade of J.

The -addition of -coinm.ercial fertiliser at the rate of 800 to i,000 pounds per acre made up largely of nitrogen and; phosphorous will be a great help to it.

(Contributed by Ontario Department of Agrieutture, Toronto.) RETENTION of the afterbirth, foetal membranes or piaCep,- ta, commonly nailed ` "tike cleanings," is not, uncommon in cows. Its cause is not understood.• While it is probably more frequently met with in cows in low eondition and unsanitary surroundings, no care, food, attention or surroundings act as preventives. It is noticed in cows of all ages, all breeds, COWS IA all conditions and at all seasons. We cannot understand why it occurs, or why it cannot be prevented, but ex- perience x perienee teaches us that such is ti)e fact, Good care, comfortable sur rouudings, avoidanco of cold and dampness, especially in cold. Weather and giving a warm mash for a day or two after calving tend. tee aid ex pulsion of the membranes, but even all precautions frequently fail, The administration of medicines is ft - effecttve, In ordinary eases the mem- branes are expelled shortly or in a tew hours after parturition, while in other cases they are retained for 24 hours or longer and then spontan- eously expelled. In other cases spon- tn. a sousexpulsion does not take place. until after decomposition, when they are expelled in pus and small pieces. The symptoms are usually evident' by the protrusion through the vulva Of a portion of the membranes, but in rare cases this symptom is not present, the membranes being wholly contained within the uterus, In such cases, provided the cow- has been un- tied it is hard to know whether then are retained or have been eaten by the cow. Cows have' the objection- able habit of eating the afterbirth. We cannot account for this taste, and when possible it should -be prevented, In some cases the consumption of the membranes does not appear to affect the health or general condition of the animal; In others it causes trouble, and in some cases death from various conditions. Treatment. --When the membranes have been retained for 24 hours or over in warm weather or for forty- eight hours in cold weather they should be carefully removed by hand. Where a, veterinarian can readily be procured it is probably wise for the ordinary stock owner to employ him, but a stockman who understands the anatomy of the parts, and is not afraid of a dirty and sometimes ted- ious job can operate himself. The lining membrane of the womb is cov- ered with many little lumps (called cotyledons) which are attached by constricted necks, with surfaces vary- ing from one inch or less to three or four inches in diameter, to which the membranes are attached. The oper- ator should have an antiseptic lotion as a 2 per cent. solution of one of the coal tar antisetics in warm water, A gallon of two of this should be in- jected into the womb. The operator then disinfects his hand and arm with the same, introduces the hand into the womb hand carefully separates the membrane from each cotyledon, be- ing careful to not tear off any of them. If a tew are removed the con - Sequences are not Iikely to be ser- ious, but it is better to remove none. When the whole has been removed a little more of the antiseptic should be injected into the womb. It is good practice to give the cow 40 to 50 drops of carbolic acid in a part of cold water as. a drench, or sprin- kled on her food three times" daily until all discharge ceases.—J. H. R., 0. A. College, Guelph. • Grape Pruning For the Garden. The average neglected grapevine is generally such a tangled mess that it is 'very difficult to describe how to prune'' it. The owner should de- termine what sort of a trellis he means to fasten his vine on. If there are a number of vines in a row the. general practice is to grow it on two wires, these to be drawn tight on poets about 16 feet apart, -first. wire three feet and second "wire five feet from the ground.: If Only one or two vines are in a place it can be grown on a trellis made of two narrow strips of board nailed to posts. One thing never to be overlooked is all fruit is produced 011 last year's wood. Most -neglected vines have too much old wood. Try, to get one or two upright canes of . two-year-old wood or older. with- four arms or younger canes equally distributed on the two wires. These `arms • should not be over six feet- long, giving four, arms -of this .length: : This is suffi- cient bearing wood for any` vine. Sup- pose the' upright part -is satisfactory° and there are four arms on it, from these arms laterals or - side shoots will grow; on which the fruit is pro- duced.. A vine should be-pruned,af- ten' it :freezes before,. winter' and„ d fore it thaws in the spring. `. Pruning in mild weather causes bleeding from the cuts. The laterals that bore fruit should. be. cut back, only leaving one bud to! sprout the. following season' and the, fruit will greet' on that, spioute.. It; is' quite' easy to:",oecasion- ally'renew one. or more arms, by train- ing a young branch to take the older one's place.'; When that IS, done cut, off the old branch. With a little:• practice pruning is easy, thetcomnion fault:being to. leave too raiuck woo&., If in doubt as' to the above me v. tdiod of. - pruning, write'` for I'll "stre' �, ,aiirl Btflll�' tin 237, "The• Grape .!• in=Ontario:", x; - 'Scarcity of Feeder Cattle With thegrowing o i car it s � $ � •e ..y Of -feed- er cattle and: 'the advance:in vain,.

Considerable Mortality, No Known Cure for the Trouble -.- Immediate KilI,ing Recommended -Turkeys Affected • Should Be Kept From Other Birds -Hand. ling Asparagus After the Cutting Sermon. (Contributed by Ontario Department or Agriculture, Toronto.) HZ disease of turkeys com monly known as blackhead (entero -hepatitis) is one that has caused untold hayoc to the turkey -raising industry in North America, It is responsible for more sickness and deaths among turkeys than all other diseases com- bined. 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 le caused by "Entamoeba tnaleagrldis,” a minute unicellular animal organism to see which a high power microscope is necessary, This ,minute organism is picked up with the food on infected soil. On reaching the caeca with the passage of food it penetrates the me - Ow lining where it induces inflam- elation, congestion, thickening of the caecal walls and ulceration. The contents of the caeca thicken into a cheesy or hard dry mass mixed with blood . and broken-down epithelial tissue from the mucous lining of the caecal wane. While this condition of the caeca is developing some of the entamoeba make their way to the liver, where they establish themselves and mul- tiply. The areas of the liver tissue in which the entamoeba establish themselves soon become necrotic, that is they degenerate and die. On post-mortem examination these ne- erotic areas are very noticeable as whitish or gray, round to irregular, flat or slightly 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 dam, and the ne- crosis of the liver interfere very materially with the functioning of these organs and as a consequence the affected bird becomeslistless, mopy, loses flesh and the head loses its bright colored appearance, becom- ing dull in lustre and dark in color, which condition is responsible for the common name of the disease --black- head. Turkeys are liable to contract the disease at any age; they, however, mostly become infected when. young. 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 theseare never thrifty and always look poor and miserable when compared with healthy birds. There is no known cure for the disease. Turkeys that show the symp- toms of the disease should be killed. If the disease be not too far advanced and the muscle meat in fair condi- tion, it may be used for human con- sumption as there is little or no dan- ger of man contracting the disease or suffering i11 effects as a conse- quence, particularly if the meat is well cooked. The texture and flavor of the meat,however,will not be so vl desirable as that from a healthy bird. Immediate killing of affected birds is recommended because the drop- pings from such 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 range it is practically impossible to control the spread of the disease amongst others 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 the dissemination of the causal organism to 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 harbor the parasite with- out showing any signs of ill -health. For this reason blackhead is found more common amongst turkeys that run with flocks of domestic fowl than amongst those which are kept by themselves, hence turkeys should not be allowed' to run with other fowl.— D. owl.D. 11: Jones, O.A.C., Guelph. trot clam.anon--Heztry,Hawa d,°l nz T.a- zmont, ,F, C, Ka[llifliefthl-Dr: ,lie r 4c has ,;beeln elected 1St tool 'trugftenfor dime yearsin the, ',lade of J.
