WIEN HOGS ARE LOUSY.
Then the Farmer Must Inauxurate Q
Systematic Warfare or Else
Suffer Big Loss.

No farmer should even tolerate the
presence of lice on Ills hogs. What is
the sense of feeding 50-cent corn to a
lot OF measly lice, which not only live
on its substance after the animal has
digested it, but that cause him such
uneasiness that he cannot properly di-
sest food? No hog can get rs fat as it
should when it is lousy. The conscious
ness that it had lice would keep it
from properly digesting and assimilat-
ing its food
Farms that are clean of lice should
be kept clean. Where hogs on a farm
are lousy, no pains or expense should
be spared in getting rid of the lice be-
fore the winter season. Every farm
should have dipping tank and it will
pay to run hogs through it once a
month even if they are not lousy: much
more so If they are.
To rid a farm of lice is not an easy
matter. 1t is not matter of a day
or weeks, but dipping, keeping clean
beds, and whitewashing pens that will
in time get rid of them. Where farms
are clean every precaution should be
taken to prevent the Introduction of
this nasty pest. You need to watch
carefully the boar or the brood SOW
that you purchase this fall.
We are sorry to say that some breed
ers' farms are lousy. No breeder
should permit hog to leave the farm
unless he is quite sure that it is free
from vermin- 1t should always injure
the reputation of breeder to be
caught sending out a lousy hog. There
fore the buyer should always examine
carefully and see that the new arrival
is clean, and If lousy ne should at
once register a complaint against the
breeder. That is the way to reform the
bad methods that prevail among the
more careless sort of breeders-Rural

There comes a time to both men and
women when sickness and poor health
bring anxiety and trouble hard to bear;
disappointment seems to follow every
effort OF physicians in our behalf, and
remedies we try have little or no effect.
In many such cases serious mistakes are
made in doctoring, and not knowing
what the disease is or what makes us
sick. Kind nature warns us by certain
symptoms, which are unmistakabe evil

Selection of Seed Corn

write here the way we save our seed
corn, and the time for gathering it. The
best time and method of saving seed
corn is from the earliest gathering
when you begin gathering for the hogs
in the fall. Make a small compartment
ut the rear OF your wagon, or attach \
basket to 1t. and when you find extra
nice ears put them in by themselves.
Cure the seed before winter sets in with
fire heat. Arrange rack over head in
your smokehouse and put it up, and
make fire every day and smoke the
corn until the moisture is gone from
the cob. Corn managed this way win
grow vigorously when spring comea.-

to the value OF 81 500. 900, are to come
out of the Sugar Mountains in Mary
land The contracts for the stone have
been let and engineers are now at work
surveying for temporary tracks TO get
the stone down TO the main lines Of the
railroads.
White is TO be the prevailing color Of
the stone in all OF the improvements
contemplated for Washington and the
officers OF the railroads have given much
time to the discovery OF a stone which
has the requisite color and at the same
time great durability.
White sandstone from some OF the
lower Potomac islands. such as was
used in parts OF the Capitol years ago,
was suggested and studied by the engi-
neers. but it was learned that this stone.
while durable In some uses. was os too
loose texture TO stand the continued
vibration IN tunnels or railroad stations.
Then the white granite was suggested
and an investigation proved its avaii1-
biliry.
The uuarries have been in operation
for more than half a century They are
on the farm Of McGiH Belt. near Dicknr-
sons. a large quantity OF the granite
was used in the canal aqueduct at the
mouth Of the Monocacy River. which was
constructed in 1893. and II appears TO
be as firm and strong today as when II
was put In place.
The stone is 10 be carried down the
new line TO the tracks OF the Balti-
more and Ohio, and that company is TO

RECEIPTS
SHOW A FALLING OFF
Nevertheless. There IS Surplus Since
Fiscal Year Opened.

There has been a marked drop in Gus
toms. internal revenue and other TO
ceipts the first ten days of September,
as compared with the receipts for the
same period last year
The custom receipts the first ten days
OF this month were s., ,269 500, as against
50. .322. .651 last year. Since July I. the
beginning OF the fiscal year, the falling
of in customs receipts has been nearly
81. 600, ,0OO If this rate is kept up the
decrease In receipts for the entire fiscal
year will exceed $40, 600, 600.
Internal revenue receipts have also
declined Last year the internal revenue
receipts the first ten days Of September
were s6.596,942. The receipts from the
same source the first ten days of Sep
tember this year were $j.G43,493. In
other words. there has been a drop OF
over $500 900.
Similarly there has been a decline in
receipts from all sources for the same
ten days period from $16.795.6S0 last
year. to S14. .4O2. .597 this year.
At the same time the expenditures
have been lower the first ten days OF
September this year than IN the cOrre-
spending period last year, the decrease
being from S14. zoe O0O 10 212. .730 600.
The cause of the falling off in imports
IS a matter of speculation. nor is the
falling off IN internal revenue receipts
accounted for SO far as customs are
concerned, IL IS believed the markets OF
the country were largely overstocked by
the heavy imports OF 1902 and the first
half OF 1908
In sDite Of smaller receipts, the
Treasury deficit always incident 10 the
early part OF new fiscal year, was
overcome two years ago. and there is
now a surplus OF S723. .917 for the current
fiscal year.
