LoUSE-INFESTFD HOGS.
How a Western Farmer Made Good
Use OF the Example Set by
Suffering Creature.

Very frequently some one asks how
to get ride of the hog louise. Three years
ago breeder of Poland-C Chinas brought
two sows to breed to Mahaska Chief
19OS1, my herd boar at that time. These
sows were populated with hos lice,
those mammoth thoroughbred fellows.
and as they seemed to be of an eXplor-
ing nature some got or Mahaska Chief
and failed to get back. When l discov-
cred them they had claims staked all
over him and were getting thickly set
tied back of his ears, fore legs and
above the hook. They did not stop at
that, but multiplied and spread out un-
til they were aboard every hog on the
place. Then / was like the other fell
low that's got 'em and wants to get rid
of them. For two years / looked in vain
for remedy. tried kerosene emul-
sion, insect powder, carbolic acid and
other remedies without satisfactory re-
suits.
About a year ago l was in the hog
house one day with a coal oil can when
I noticed a hog go to post and rub
himself from end to end. Then an idea
struck me. Why not put the coal oil
on the post and let the hog grease him
self? 1 put the idea into practice, went
and got some stout cloth, hammer and
tacks, ana tackled the cloth in three
different places in the hog house, where
they usually rubbed, saturated the
cloth thoroughly with oil and fastened
the hogs out of the house until evening.
when / carried in fresh bedding and
plenty of it. | then took the oil can
again and went over it, sprinlling the
bedding pretty thoroughly, opened the
door to let the hogs in, closed it again
and kept it closed until morning. have
not seen a live louise on any of my pigs
from that day to this. 1 saturated the
cloth but once. [ only had about 30
head at that time, but do not care if a
man has thousand, if he will pursue
the course I did and be thorough. be-
lieve he can kill every louise and destroy
every nit.-Western Swineherd.

1t seems strange the pretty guinea
fowl is not more reared than it is; no
fowl living lays so well, none rear their
young with so little trouble or care to
the owner. They hatch out in the
meadows or fields, and invaria bly, bring
home quite nice flock of such pretty
little birds; they fiy up in trees to rest
when quite small. If set and reared un-
der ordinary hens they are very gentle,
and will make their nests with the
chickens. The writer has for years
packed great quantities of guinea eggs
in the fall; we use them all winter in
every way; they keep well. Never
packed chicken eggs, as the guinea eggs
keep nicely and the chicken eggs are
sent to market. The guinea fowls are
not at ali structive.-Country Gentle

ReeH i'm the Enr West.

There was time when it was thought
bees could not be kept in that part of
the country which used to be called
the great American desert" but cor
respondent of the Bee Journal who
lives in that region tells how he began
in the spring of 1879 with seven colo
mics which increased to sixteen besides
yielding him 1920 pounds of honey,
half extracted and half comb. In 1898
his bees increased to 80 colonies
and he got !, 15pounds of honey. Farm
ers in more favored portions of the
country could do better than this and
save and turn into money the sweets
that now uselessly waste along fence
rows, streams and other uncultivated
portions of their lands.

The most expert pathologist of the
agricultural department, DIR. Zwingle,
is now in Morocco on mission which
the department hopes will launch new
and profitable industry in the most arid
sections of our southwest. 1t has been
found that date palms, with some irri-
CATION, will grow as well in Arizona as
in Arabia. Early Mormon settlers in
the territory proved this many years
ago, but the trees were not of the best
variety and date-growing never devel-
oped as an industry. The agricultural
department has prepared to push the
experiment on an extensive scale, how
ever. DR.. Zwingle is making close
study of the African date palm, select
ing the very finest varieties and those
best adapted to an arid region. These
young trees will be carefully shipped to
Arizona, where they will be planted and
cared for under the close supervision OF
the departments experts. The plants
will cost the department about five dol.
lars each laid down in Arizona.

Australian Weddings.

In Australia there are so few ma
tives left that anything but white
mans marriage is n comparative rarity.
The curious difference, however, be-
tween weddings there and in the mother
country is that here we license the
place for the solemnization of the cere-
mony and at the antipodes they license
the man who performs the rites. Mar
riage can be performed at the regis
trar's office for guinea, but if a min
ister knowingly marries a minor with
out her peoples consent he is liable
to Imprisonment and a fine of 6 300.
If, however, the contracting parties
have taken the oath that they are of
full age, he is safe, though it has hap
pened more than once that young lovers
have gone to the registry Office and
obviously perjured themselves on the
age question. A smart but very young
looking girl in Australia who was once

of your parents?" responded: NO,

which promptly relieves any attack of

Reef-PrnducInU Cattle.

Range cattle will gradually decrease
in number and the far west will cease
to have a monopoly in beef. Farmers
will find steers profitable if they use
bulls of the beef-producing breeds. The
reason cold storage beef from the west
takes possession of the market is be-
cause farmers give but little attention
to the quality of the animals raised for
beef. With combination of breed and
feed they can. get steers into market a
wear earlier. as well as gain so per cent.
