Do Farmers Read Bulletins

I have noticed one thing in particu-
lar while travelling in some of our best
agricultural states, and that is, when
I see number of well-dressed farmers
discussing beef and milk rations, feed
ing young animals for healthy re-
velopment, nitrogen, potassium and
phosphorus and their functions in plant
growth and protein and carbohydrates
and their functions in animal growth,
am invariably in a prosperous and
up-to-date community. Now, the ques-
ton is, do the best and most intelligent
farmers read their bulletins and keep
in touch with their station workers and
read the agricultural press, or does the
reading of these bulletins and agricul-
tural papers make. more intelligent
farmers! 1t is one or the other consid-
cred from either standpoint, for these
bulletins and agricultural papers are
not read by the poor and uneducated
class of farmers, neither do they cir
culate as freely among the poorer
farmers as they do among the farmers
in the better agricultural communities.

As per cent of the ash of the food and

ures show that only a small per cent

that the rapid exhaustion OF the soils.
fertility Is result of carelessness and
lack upon the part of the farmer Of
properly managing the various farm
operations.
By judicious management and the
feeding of farm animals, 1t is not only
possible but practicable to increase the
production of the farm from year to
year without spending large sums OF
money each year for commercial fer-

SELECTING Rreedino Swine.

The best place to select boar is at
his home on the farm. Here he will be
found in his accustomed surroundings
and in everyday dress. Here far
better estimate may be made Of his
merits and defects and the family
characteristics than under the condi-
lions in which he is viewed at a fair
or exhibition. His disposition may
here be observed. At the fair an
abundance Of fat may conceal serious
defects.
If one wants hog in show condi-
ton it is cheaper to fatten him than
to pay someone else for doing it. The
average breeder does not know how
to safely reduce the flesh Of an over
fed boar. and an attempt to do so
often results in destroying the breed
ing qualities.

scab in Sheep.

The disease commonly called sheep
scab is one of the oldest known, most
prevalent and most injurious maladies
which affect sheep 1t is a contagious
skin disease caused by parasitic mite.
Investigation has shown that the dis
ease is not hereditary, as the parasites
which cause it live on the external
surface of the body. 1t is possible,
however, for a lamb to become infected
from scabby mother at the moment
of birth or Immediately thereafter The
treatment must consist of external
cures to purify the blood" Proper hy-
gienic conditions alone, tho of import
ance in connection with the subject of
treatment, can not be relied upon to
cure scab. The only rational treatment
consists in using some external appli-
cation which will kill the parasites. BY
far the most rational and satisfactory
and the cheapest method Of curing
scab is by dipping the sheep in some
liquid which will kill the parasites.

Kidney Troubles.

"A sudden change from green feeds
to those which contain a small per-
centage Of water, frequently results
in a arrangement of the bladder or
kidneys. Many times the urine be-
comes thick and turbid and it is very
difficult for the animal to urinafe. If
the trouble is allowed to continue for
a very long period, death may result.
Any of the following remedies may be
administered with excellent results:
Juniper berries, four ounces; boiling
water one gallon. Let stand in
covered vessel for an hour and then
strain. Give one pint three times each
day till the animal is relieved. An
other remedy may be provided without
the aid of drugs. Mix one part of slip
perry elm bark with two quarts poplar
bark and make a strong tea from the
mixture. Sweeten-. with sugar or mo-
| lasses and give a pint every five hours.

Keepina Children on the Farm.

The time has come when we should
make the country something more than
a breeding ground for Thoroughbred
stock for the city. 1t is well enough
that we have an open avenue from the
farm to the city. But the success Of
our agriculture depends upon keeping
upon the farms a class OF young men
and women who represent the very
flower Of our citizenship. Every effort
should be made to elevate the calling Of
agriculture to its proper level. and this
can be accomplished in no other way
, than by educating our young men and
women so that they are competent to
make the most out OF their environ
ment and adapt themselves to modern
conditions. Agricultural Epitomist
