SUMMER IS EXCELLENT TIME TO
‘ EXTERMINATE MANY HOG PESTS

' Medicated Hog Wallowa Are
(Prepared by the United State Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
Thousands of dollars’ worth of good
hog feed goes every year to the feed-
lng of manga' mites and lice It Is
shown by reports to the United States
Department of Agriculture That Is
to say after the hogs have fed on the
corn and other fprage and put It In the
way of becoming hams bacon or side
pork the parasites swarmtpg over the
- animals bodies take their toll and rie-
' duce the victims’ flesh through disco m
- fort and disease These parasites are
more numerous and active In cold
weather whin the hair is thick but
summer Is an excellent time to exter-
mtnate the pests that remain over the
season - " v ?
Hogs Like to Wallow
The Instinctive habit of the hog to
Wallow la water when the weather Is
' warm may be taken advantage of In
applying treatment for external pnra-
- sites department experts say By
medicating the water In properly constructed-
wallows remedies for lice
snd mange may be applied In a satis-
factory manner with a minimum ex-
penditure of mony time and labor If
the results from the use of medicated
wallows are to be satisfactory how-
' ever It Is necessary to consider the
nature and habits of the animals to be
treated ahd plan accordingly
- If conditions are such that hogs
may exercise choice In the matter they
Invariably select shallow water In
which to wallow If the nostrils can
be kept above the surface easily the
bog will lie down on Its side and roll
' then get up and repeat -the operation
on the other side up til the entire body
Is wet r o : ’
i The proper depth of liquid In the
wallow depends upon the size and
- number of hogs using the wallow For
-pigs weighing from 40 to 80 pounds
the ‘ wallow : should be - charged with
liquid to the depth of about 8 Inches
For hogs from 80 to 150 pounds 4
' Inches Is sufficient The medicated
liquid should never be so deep that the
bogs are afraid to lie In It For a
number of hogs of varied sizes a
depth of from 3 to 4 Inches Is most
practicable- No medicine should be
added until the hogs have had three
or four days to get accustomed to the
wallow It should not be kept medl-
eated foe more than about 48 hours at
' a time as the hogs can get well soaked
In that time and constant application
Is liable to Irritate the skin’ -After
' that medicaments may ‘be added at
Intervals of a week or ten days'
- Simple Remedy as Effective '
' Crude petroleum Is one of the aim-
plest remedies that can be obtained
' for the purpose and Is the only one
that will eradicate both lice and mange
with one treatment No beating equip-
' ment is 'necessary and any kind of rea-
sonable good water can be used The
oil apparently does not Injure the ani-
mals if the freshly died hogs receive
proper cars and attention Unproc-
essed crude oil as It comes from the
wells Is probably the most effective
I crude oil dip However processed
crude petroleum known to the trade
as fuel oil which Is the residue from
manufacturing gasoline and other light
hydrocarbons Is commonly used and
Is effective In eradicating lice and
- mange- As a rule the thinner the
processed crude olh the better It Is for
a dip dr wallow’ f ' '
in ‘using oil In wallows about one
pint for each pig or one quart for each
grown hog is recommended This can
- beat be - determined by observing
whether the pigs use the wallow and
whether their bodies become well coat-
ed with oll‘ If all are not well coated
add more oil to the wallow The oil
will make the water distasteful enough
so the hogs wll not try to drink It
Hog wallows are comparatively easy
of construction For best results they
should be of concrete sufficiently large
' to accommodate the number of pigs In
’ the Inclosure and with one side sloping
' to give easy access’ " i
The oil floating on the surface of the
water limits or prevents evaporation
' and the water If exposed to the sun
during the' day soon becomes so warm
that hogs will not lie In It If the wal-
low la exposed to the direct rays of
the sun during summer months so that
the hogs will not He in It It la advls-
able to construct a shade over It and
the oil should be added In the evening
Oil added after aundown la usually
carried out on the bodies of the hogs
before noofl the next day j '
A shady well-ventilated place should
be provided for freshly oiled hogs All
wallows should be drained aud cleaned
as often as necessary to keep them
and the surroundings In good sanitary
condttk It la very Important that
the wallow ' be properly coumructed
and cared for otherwise It will aooo
get Into a filthy snd Insanitary condi-
tion I

SOWING TURNIPS TO
FOLLOW VEGETABLES
No Better Crop to Utilize Vacant
Spaces in Gardens v v
They Are Useful for the Table nd
tea Limited Extent Will Supply
Plaoe of Potato— Reason-
J ' - bly Rich Sell Headed v' 1
(Prepared by the United State Depart-
moot of Agriculture)
As a crop to utilize ' garden space
after early vegetable have been har-
vested nothing la batter than turnips
Turnips should he planted In ‘ most
parts of the country about July 25 but
In the extreme South' aa late aa the
last of August and can be left In tha
ground until after several light frost
or all winter in the South - They are
useful as a table vegetable and to a
limited extent will supply the place
of potatoes It Is the general opinion
of specialists of the United States De-
partment ' of Agriculture that ‘ the
American public could consume many
more turnips than it "does a fact of
particular interest this year when
there seems every Indication of a cur-
tailed potato crop
For field sowing turnips are usually
broadcasted The particular require-
ment la a reasonably rich soli 'finely
raked and leveled off to avoid water
collecting In pools The seed should
be sowed sparingly One homely rule
la to take the quantity which seems
sufficient and divide It In half After
the seeds have been scattered on the
surface of the ground they should be
raked in - This may be done by drag-
ging a piece of brash over the ground
The surface should be well smoothed
It la a good plan to sow turnips Just
after a rain giving tem opportunity
to sprout before a crust forma ' After
sowing they wUl need Uttle attention
until harvest
CANDLE AND GRADE ALL EGGS
Department of Agriculture Endeavor-
ing to Teach Women Best Ways
of Marketing
v Farm women frequently have en-
tire charge of the marketing ‘of eggs
butter and poultry In some states
they form what are called ”egg cir-
cles” for marketing their eggs In large
quantities The eggs are collected
regularly by one of the membra or
by some one hired by the circle: Ef-
forts are being made by marketing
agents of the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture to teach these
farm women the value of properly
candling and grading the eggs so that
only the beat are marketed -
GOOD AND POOR PRODUCERS
fwner of Small Flock Can Determine
’ by Observation Which of Hie
Hens Are Layers -
: In any flock some hens will be found
to bo mnch better producers than oth-
ers' ' pften there are a few hens that
are such poor layers that It doesn’t
pay to keep ‘them Where the flock
Is small the owner can determine by
observation which hens are merely
boarders and these are the ones to
eat' ' '
IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR HENS

year It would be reasonable to sup-
pose 'that the nearer to spring condi-

PROVED CRATE
IS URGENT HEED
Manufacturers Should Make a
More Rigid Inspection of Ma
Aterals Put Into Boxes
cad is cssesi Ficrg
Cenai deration Should Be Given 4
Method of Construction Which
Will Lessen Possibility of
' Lee In Shipping
V j' ' y
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
Important fpetors affecting the successful-use
of crates In marketing
fruits and vegetables were carefully
studied by a specialist of the bureau
of markets Unpd States Department
of Agriculture during a recent trip
The first of these Is the need of manu-
facturers making a more rigid inspec-
tion of materials used -
While most manufacturers make en
effort to have their stbek Inspected
and to use only good material in some
cases this attempt Is frustrated by the
failure of the workman to understand
and appreciate the ideal which Is guid-
ing his employer Many crate-mill
employees seem to cherish tha old Idea
that because the 'crate la a gift package-
It should be made as cheaply as
possible using any sort of material ao
long aa there la a chance of Its hold-
ing together thus reducing the coat
to the grower ahd shipper '
'‘The Grower’s Responsibility
The crate manufacturer having
done his part In providing materials
free from defects the grower or ship-
per should see to It that the crate la
not spoiled In being made up In hts
packing house or Held'
Growers and shippers should remem-
ber ' that the nailing together of the
crate Is one of the biggest factors In
determining whether the container Is
to be strong and substantial or weak
and productive of damage claims Cement-coated
nails not less than four-
penny In alee should always be used
and car should be taken to see that
they are properly spaced aqd placed
Greater care la perhaps necessary
In making up crates for express ship-
ments than for car-lot freight ship-
ments due to the more frequent
handling they must undergo For
either method of shlplplng considera-
tion should be given to methods -of
construction which will lessen the pos-
8howing Results of ' Poorly Crated
Lettuce ( ' '
alblllty of loos An Instance of this la
the use of the “web” or cleated side
for celery crates The - slats are
stapled to the cleats In the factory
making but one piece to each side to
handle In the field Instead of three
It also Insures even spacing of the
slats and gives an extra thickness for
holding the nails thus counteracting
any tendency of the slats to split and
come away from the nails
' Some celery -growers are experi-
menting with a patent crate which Is
re-enforced with wire around the
ends and the body of the crate In
actual use the end wires were twist-
ed together to close the package it be-
ing found Impracticable owing to the
height of the celery to twist the cen-
ter wires together There la no doubt
of the strength of this type of crate’
' Need of Co-operation
Whatever the type of' crate used It
la the duty of the manufacturer to sup-
ply good material accurately cut and
properly put together This much
the purchaser of crates Bhould de-
mand and should expect to pay for
Having secured It he should do his
part by seeing that the crates are made
up in a workmanlike manner- and
after -packing that they are properly
closed and fastened for shipment By
such- co-oneratlon manufacturers and
growers ran feel ’better assured that
the! crate will measure up to the ideal
of a fruit and vegetable package that
it shall carry - the commodity Intact
from the grower through the whole-
sale market to the retailer

USING GUINEA FOWLS

ment of AarUmltura)
Guinea fowl are growing In favor as
a substitute for game birds with the
result that guinea raising la becoming
more profitable Guinea fowls are
raised usually In small flocks on gen-
eral farms and need a large range for
best results ' - -
' Domesticated ‘ guinea ‘ fowl are of
three varieties Pearl White and’ Lav-
ender - The Pearl Is by far the most
popular say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture
Guinea fowl have a tendency to
mate In pairs but one male may be
BUm r if r i t :
Pearl Guinea Fowl ’
mated successfully with three or four
females The bens begin to lay usual-
ly in April or May and wlU lay 20 to
80 eggs before becoming broody If
not allowed to set they will continue
to lay throughout tbe summer laying
from 40 to 60 or more eggs' Eggs may
be removed from the nest when tbe
guinea hen la not setting but two or
more eggs should be left in the nest ’
: Ordinary hens arft used commonly to
hatch and rear guinea chicks hut
guinea hena and turkey hena are used
successfully although they are more
difficult manage Guineas are mar-
keted late In tbe summer when they
weigh from one to one and one-half
pounds at about two and one-half
months old and also through the fall
when the demand Is for heavier birds
GRASS SEASON QUITE SHORT
' '
Seldom Profitable to Pasture Stock Be
' for May 1 and Paktures Aw Dry
!- by September v
-Few of us realize how short the
grass season really Is 'north of the
Mason and Dixon line' It Is custom-
ary to consider It as six months But
this Is stretching It pretty far It la
seldom If ever profitable to turn stock
on pasture much before May 1 and
almost always pastures 'are ' about
dried up In September So actually
there are only about four months that
pastures can be depended upon Thla
s worth keeping in' mind when plan-
ning the size of the sMo or silage field
— figure on eight months of feeding
The man whose stock goes through
the winter best Is the one that doesn’t
allow them toA become thin before
frost
CHEAP NESTS FOR CHICKENS
Taka an Orange Box Removing Top
- and Fasten ’ to Wall— Keep
8traw Fresh and Clean -
' An orange box makes a good nest
Remove the "top put the box on Its
side and nail a strip about three
Inches wide along the bottom In front
It Is preferable to fasten this box to
the wall as It takes too much room
on the floor Each box the middle
piece being left Intact makes two
nests There onglit to be one nest for
every four or five hens say poultry
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture Straw or
other material used for nests should
be kept clean and fresh' Be sure to
keep enough straw In' the box to pre-
vent eggs striking the floor If an egg
breaks the hen may learn to eat It
and this Is a difficult habit to break

FARMING FOR LIVING URGED
If Mora Farmer Woull Produce
What They Need for Heme Use
Markets Would Be Better
' More farming for a living shouldbe
done and there will be less risk of
poor markets If most farmers would
produce what they could for home use
the markets would be required to take
"oss and as a result there would be
less atrtrtq on them' The way to have
markets is to save and conserve what
you' have 'Use your markets -only’
wheU It Is necessary to sell the sur-
plus you cannot eat or feed
PAINTS INJURE WOOD SILOS
Use of Preservatives for Coating Not
as Much In Favor as Formerly— ’
: THy Do No Good '
When wood silos were first being
Introduced great pains were taken In
coating 'them with tar paint or some-
thing of that sort to preserve the
wood hut this practically has gone out
of use Experiments show that these
palntk do but tittle good and again
they are somewhat Injurious to the
silage say the Michigan Farmer
Without paint d wood sUo will last for
a great many year

Department of ' Agriculture '
variety of feeds with fresh clean
water Is necessary If chicks are to
grow properly Perhaps the ' three
most necessary for rapid growth are
grain feed green feed and dry mash
Poultry specialists of the department
say that in addition to the green feed
and dry mash which should be pro-
vided regularly a grain mixture
should be fed night and morning giv-
ing as large a quantity as the chicks
will ent clean but no more A good
grain mixture for growing chicks con-
sists of three parts cracked corn two
parts wheat and two parts bulled
oats When available kaflr or rolled
or bulled barley may be substituted
for bulled oats In localities where
bulled oats kaflr or rolled barley can-
not be obtained or are too expensive a
mixture of cracked corn and wheat
only may be fed until the chicks are
old enough to eat whole oats when
two' parts may be addfed to the corn
and wheat mixture -A
reasonable supply of fresh green
feed Is almost as necessary as grain
for growing chicks If allowed liber-
ty they will get much- of It for them-
selves but If confined- or If In quar-
ters where green feed Is not abun-
dant It should be supplied regularly
Lawn grass beet tops cabbage and
lettuce are excellent feeds When
chicks are confined to brood coops
with runs they should be placed on
ground where the grass Is green and
tender and as fast as It Is eaten off
the coop and run should be moved to
a place where the grass is plentiful
In addition to green feeds and grain
dry mash should be kept before grow-
ing chicks at all times after they are
three or four weeks old It' is best to
feed It In a hopper Inside the build-
ing or where It will not be exposed to
rain or wet Here Is a good dry mash
mixture: Two pounds corn meal two
pounds middlings one ' pound oat-
meal two pounds wheat bran one
pound -beef scrap and one-fourth

SMALL FLOCK IN BACK YARD

The average novice can 'reasonably
expect to get an average of at least
10 dozen eggs per hen per year from

the basis of two hens I each mem-
ber of the family thla wilt give 20
dozen eggs a year to each person
which amount Is - about halfway be-
