probably our cows are sounder than

The practice of dipping sheep is
doubtless q very necessary one, and
there is very little complaint for Amer
lean territorial wool, except the sheep
are dipped in preparations in which
lime and sulphur are important ele-
ments. We have sold wool to manu-
facturers dipped with preparations in
which two ingredients were prominent
that caused them to have difficulty in
dyeing their wool We know of some
wool growing sections of the United
States which are tabooed by manufac-
turers without just cause because in
formers years large quantities of wool
were shipped from those sections with
fleeces so discolored with an improp-
erly prepared dip as to have injured
the working qualities of the wool.
Within n few days several prominent
manufacturers have stated that they
did not like wool from certain sections
of the country because their experience
with them formerly had been unsatis-
factory They had trouble with goods
made of wool that had been dipped In
preparations composed of lime and
sulphur. Although this practice has
been discontinued to large extent in
the sections complained of, the preju-
dice against wool from those localities
still fingers, although at present i'm
proved and harmless dips have been
substituted for those formerly in use.
If wool is stained and yellow in color
from sheep dips. some manufacturers
are afraid to purchase it. therefore it is
important that sheep dips now used
should be composed of materials or in
gradients that viii not prejudice con-
sumers against the wool.-Theodore

In raising these kittens farmers
should take especial care that their
breeding stock is of the best. 1t pays
In the end to lay out little more for
first class stock rather than to buy
what one can for the smallest sum. He
should also observe that stock from
reliable concerns. animals purchased
from farms of notorety, which would
be the means of producing for him an
exclusive trade. make his animals of
greater value The simple fact of
having Angoras for sale does not mean
that they are thoroughbreds, nor need
they come from any well known stock.
We have known so many to make fail
ures at the start that in encouraging
others to raise these animals we give
them a point which viii be specially
valuable to them later on.
a great many of our best breeders
of the Angora say that cat can be
kept for the low price of dollar
year. provided she is allowed to roam
about on the place, eating such things
as would ordinarily be given her and
that are plenty on farm Now, if this
same cat raises two families of kittens,
averaging a total of seven. and should
these kittens be sold for the lowest
average price of $40, her family would
sell for $40. If we allow each one of
these kittens to be kept off and on for
year, which would be much longer,
the entire family would cost to raise
just IS. Now, there would be profit
of something like $62 What animal
on the farm would yield such revenue
to the owner? Each farmer can see
for himself. and especially those farm
ers who live near fashionable country
resorts and such places. that he could
easily attract lovers of these animals
to their place and sell as quickly as
the kittens are old enough to be taken
away. Another interesting point in
connection with these cats is the fact
that they can be raised without any
care. and the women of the house can
have their charge and revenue for pin
money

contending claims of animals of this
class, the Judge is much more certain of
his ground than when attempting to
estimate the respective merits of dairy
animals OF course we have made
close study of form as related to func
ton. We have deduced therefrom a
distinct type which we call dairy form.
We have even reduced this type to a
scale of measurements in the hope of
getting aid from mathematics, but
what man among us is there who will
venture to say how much milk or but
ter a COW will make simply by looking
at her? What man is there who will
pretend accurately to estimate per-
Torrance by form? Can you tell how
far a frog will jump by ,oking at
him? Can you estimate the peed and
stamina of a horse in the show ring?
With all our standards in very truth
we work much in the dark when We
come to estimate the ability to render
certain performance. such as milk
giving or running or trotting. merely
by an examination of the form of the
animal We can but guess at best OF

HOG LICE.
Persistent Insects That Arc Not Eas-
lily Differentiated.

Persistent Insects That Arc Not Eas-
lily ExtermInated.
The hog louise is the only insect
which causes much trouble in raising
hogs, says a government bulletin, and
when it once becomes established in
a drove it is not easily exterminated.
Fortunately, the lice are SO large that
they can be seen easily, and their
presence may therefore be known be-
fore they become very abundant. They
are liable to appear at any season of
the year, and they thrive on hogs of
any age or condition. They are found
in and behind the ears, back of the
shoulders and in the creases ON the
lower part of the ham more frequently
than elsewhere; if those places are free
from them, there is little danger that
they exist on other parts Of the animal
Coal oil is sure death to every louise
it touches, but does not always kill the
eggs and must be used with caution
to prevent its blistering the skin of
the hog. When a large drove is to be
treated, the work can be done very
quickly by using a spray pump having
an attachment for mixing the oil and
water, and the pump should be set so
that it will use about five parts of
water TO one part of oil When such
a mixture is thrown over the hogs in
a fine spray, only little of the oil is
used to cover the whole animal, and if
the spraying is done in the evening
nearly all of the oil viii be eyaporated
by morning, and there will be no bis
tering of the skin when the hogs are
exposed to the hot sun on the follow
ing day. So little oil is used in the
spraying that few of the eggs will
be killed, and the work should be re-
peated at the end of a week and
again at the end of a second week. If
the work is thoroughly done, three
sprayings will be sufficient. If a spray
pump is not available. the hogs should
be rubbed with a mixture containing
two parts of lard oil to one of coal oil,
repeating twice at intervals of week
The sleeping places should be thor
oughly cleaned. the bedding burned
and the inside of the buildings thor
oughly wet with coal oil
Even with the most thorough treat
ment it requires time and patience to
clean a drove which has become badly
infested. but it must be done If the
hogs are TO be kept in a thriving con-
dition. It is not difficult to destroy the
larger part of the lice. but that is not
sufficient. for where there are even a
few eggs left in the ear or under the
jowls of a single animal the pest will
soon become as bad as ever.
Lice never infest clean hogs when
they are not brought from an infested
drove, and the hog raiser who has a
clean herd cannot be too careful to
keep it so. No stray hog should be al
lowed on the premises, and any which
are purchased should be examined very
carefully before they are allowed to
run with the others. The oil mixture
should always be kept close at hand
where it can be used Immediately if
any indications of lice are seen. 1t
is much easier to kill few lice on a
few animals than to clean a thoroughly
infested herd.
