Riddina Hoqs of Lice.

Lice are nuisance as we'll as an
injury to the hogs. Prompt measures
should be taken to destroy them or
prevent their presence in your herd.
You can't afford to feed hogs to sup
port an army of pauper lice. If you
once get them out of your pens or
hog houses, it is not difficult to clean
them from the hogs. If this is not
done you might kill them on the hogs
once day, and they would have new
recruits every night from the house to
take their place. The old, dusty straw
bedding is nursery for them. Clean
out all this dust and rotted bedding
thoroughly, and scatter air-slacked
lime. A coat of whitewash, both i'll
side and out, would be another big
benefit. 1t is advisable to use little
carholic acid in the whitewash. - Da-
keta Farmer

Give the Colt a Chance.

Too much is usually expected in the
breeding of horses of what may be
termed inherited influences. For in
stance individuals will pay large ser
vice fee in order to secure the benefit
to be expected from patronizing first
class stallion. The colt grows up UNI
der influences not favorable. to COM
plete physical development. The own
er in his haste concludes it may be
that no benefit has been secured from
the good blood thus patronized. That
may certainly be true, but when it is
true the blame should be laid as a
rule to the lack Of care given to the
fcal rather than to lack of superiority
in the sire.-St. Paul Farmer.

the ROOSEVELT DYNASTY.

Two important announcements nave
come from the White House within
the past twenty-four hours. one au-
thoritative and the other merely thru
the correspondents but each equally
as certain and neither less important
than the other. The correspondents
state that Secretary Taft is President
Roosevelts choice for his own success
sor in 1908, and the president himself
announces that Charles ]. Bonaparte,
the vigorous young attorney whom
Roosevelt secured to prosecute the
postal frauds, has been selected for
cabinet position to succeed Paul Nor
ton as secretary of the navy on July l.
The admission of men like Taft and
Bonaparte to the inner circle of presl-
Dental favor means that the present
administration is to be more and more
of a distinctly Roosevelt administra-
ton. The fight for the square deal"
with no favors to the special interests
is to be kept up. Even before the cor
respondents gave out their tip the
country had picked upon Taft as the
most likely man to perpetuate the
Roosevelt type. When the trust repre-
sentative comes to him with threat
Of ambitious funeral Taft jovially
asks him why he did not bring flowers,
and the people admire the man for the
nerve it took to crack the joke. Taft
has spoken right out on the rate ques-
ton which, it is said, pleases the presi-
dent, but it pleases the people none the
less. When governor of the Philippines
he demonstrated that he was an exc
cutive and he comes back enthused
with the idea. that some of our infant
industries in this country are old
enough to stand alone without such
high schedules as the tariff of seven
years ago, and tais, too, suits great
many people of modest incomes. Then
the presidential favor is likely to frost
certain buds in the treasury depart
ment and this is not altogether un-
popular.
Bonaparte is not so well known ex-
cept that when Roosevelt wanted a
man who would not shirk before the
threats Of the politicians in congress
he called on Benaparte to prosecute
the thieves then in high places and
the, thieves are now in the peniten-
tiary. This does pretty well for a
starter toward public favor and the
people are willing to trust the rest to
the presidents judgment, at least, until
Bonaparte can make a reputation for
himself. Because Of Bonaparte's sue
cess as a fighter against graft it is
presumed that the president has made
certain Of no repetition Of the mistake
in the Morton selection and has this
time put man in the cabinet Of the
Roosevelt type. AT least this is the
way the people take it and that is why
they are pleased. A Roosevelt dynasty
inspires no fear in the American pub
lie.

Milkina For Regularity in Breeding

Practical men have noticed that
when the COWS suckle their calves,
they do not breed so regularly as
when they are MIXED. So frequently
has this fact been noticed that in coun-
tries where labor is relatively cheap,
some breeders of Shorthorns, for in
stance, milk the dams and feed the
milk to the calves IN the unseparated
form. They claim that in doing so,
the increase in the calves obtained
will more than make up for the differ
ence in the expense of thus milking
the COWS. While rich may be the

fact, we question very much whether
1t would pay this country to milk
COWS in that way, because of the high
price that has to be paid for labor.
While the fact has been recognized,
that milking a herd of cows does exer-
else favorable influence on their
breeding qualities, who is able to fur
nisl a satisfactory explanation? Why
should COW breed more regularly,
that is thus MIXED, than one which
suckles her own calf. The question
raised certainly furnishes food for
thought 1t is now we'll known that
there is a relation between the physi-
ing tendencies 1t has been noticed
that when the COW is in an improving
condition, she is more likely to breed
than under other conditions. When
cows suckle their calves, they are
more restless, than when MIXED be-
cause Of the solicitude which they
have for the calf, and this solicitude,
call it worry, if you please, is adverse
to the up-building of the physical sys-
tenn.
We are not sure that this is a COM
plete explanation of the fact noticed.
1t may not be the correct explanation,
but we are inclined to place a certain
amount of faith in it, until some better
explanation is given.
1t is claimed that one cause for pota-
toes being hollow is a surplus of nitro
gen in the soil. Some varieties are
more liable to the defect that others.
"How is it," says someone. that Glow
err sod makes good fertilizer for po-
tatoes? Here is an abundance Of nj
trogen." True, but there is also pot
ash and phosphoric acid to make a
balanced ration with the nitrogen. and
these are what are needed by the po-
tato. In the garden it Is not best to
give the potatoes an excess of nitro
gen. Even tho the tubers may not be
hollow. there will be too much top for
profit.-Prairie Farmer.

I'm only a four-leaved clover

They hunt for me all over.
And they're lucky when I'm seen.
And people passed before him,
But so quiet and still lay he

Close 10 the busy feet
Why! the rascal seemed to be lazy.

But there came his day OF duty,
For a maiden passed that way,
And her sharp eyes spied the beauty
As she heard him softly say;
I'm only a four-leaved clover
Down in the meadow green.
They hunt for me all over,
And they're lucky when I'm seen"
Then she picked the little treasure,
And carried him safe away,
With a gentle thrill OF pleasure,
Unon that summer day.

But a brown, straight, stlm, little elf.

WHAT A PENNY CAN DO.
One Instance Where a Fraction Of a

these days. and notice that young peo-
pie, like older ones, are beginning to
look down on the pennies and TO imagine
that saving pennies is too slow alto
gether for this age
Let me tell YOU a true story about
recent big engineering contract that
shows the value of pennies.
A great arm, well known through tho
country, figured on an engineering con-
tract few years ago They had every
thing calculated TO the last cent, except
the cost OF some dredging. On this they
couldn't quite figure within half OF one
cent per cubic foot without getting more
facts
Wed better investigate" said tho
elder partner. "and fnd out Just how
much well have TO dredgc."
Nonsense. said the younger and
more active partner. 1t Is only half
cent aud its not worth bothering
about"
So they signed the contract.
After they had worked six months lt
developed that the firm would have TO
dredge away 100000 cubic feet OF
material II also turned out that IL
would cost them exactly only half \
cent" per cubic foot more 20 do Il than
they were getting for q. Ten million
cubic feet, at that half cent each. which
the younger partner had said was mot
worth boihering about" amounted to
Just $4,000.

years now 20 fulhll a contract al heavy
