SHEEP AID TOBACCO
after Is Almost Positive Cure
for Worm Parasites.
Fat Stocks Thought to Be Fit Only
for Fertilizer Prove Fine Feed
on Which Animals Wax
Healthy.

In the recent past much has been
said in the agricultural press about
tobacco for the parasitic worms in
sheep. We live in one of the chief
tobacco growing regions of Ohio and
have a large flock of sheep, Some of
our personal experience on this mat
ter without the least idea of egotism
might be of benefit to others who are
interested in sheep, writes Ira G.. Shall
labarger in Farmers Review. That
tobacco is almost a positive cure for
the worm parasite in sheep is an es-
tablished fact, but too few really
know how valuable it is and hesitate
to use it.
One year ago weather conditions
caused the tobacco to have a large
amount of what is known as fat stems.
Fat stems are the top leaves on to-
bacco stocks which are dark in color
and are always sabby or are like to-
bacco when in high case and dry put
only when hot, dry weather or sum-
mer comes and are fit for nothing but
for fertilizer or possibly trash except
to sheep breeders.
Our crop of tobacco was not ex-
empt from them and we thought they
were fit for only manure. AS the crop
Of tobacco was stripped the stocks with
fat stems still clinging to them were
hauled to a large orchard, which is in
blue grass, around the apple trees.
The sheep were pastured in this or
chard and to our utter amazement
they ate the fat stems off the stocks
as readily and with the relish that a
child eats candy. Salt and water
were always given the sheep, and in
the stable night and morning they
yer fed oats and sorry to say, tim
othy hay as no other roughage was
available. The sheep and lambs were
wonderfully healthy and proved
money makers.
This year the sheep have an occa-
sional feed of tobacco saved from last
years trash with alfalfa, oats and run
on grass. They are very healthy,
lambs are growing nicely with no
| signs of worms. Somehow the flock
of sheep in question seem to eat to-
bacco given them without being
chopped fine or mixed with salt as
some advocate. They don't eat vast
| quantities of it. Only sparingly. The
tobacco growers of this section are
anxious to sell their trash tobacco at
from one to one and one-fourth cents
per pound. 1t is believed that all who
keep sheep could buy this tobacco at
this price and feed it to the sheep at
a big profit.
We heartily recommend tobacco for
sheep and to get them started to eat
it, powder it up or cut fine with a
spade OF other tool, mix with salt
and put it where the sheep will have
access to it. Feed no other salt and
they will learn to eat it.

A One-Man Marker.

both ways by getting inside the frame
at point mark K and drawing the
marker across the field to a stake, the
same as in marking corn ground.
There are no small stakes to bother
with, and we have a distinct
mark to dig our holes to and then set
the trees where the lines inter-
sect, which point can be. determined
at a glance, as you are setting the tree
without any unnecessary sighting.
One man can easily mark 10 acres
in a day (of peach ground) ready for
the holes to be dug. This marker is
also useful in marking gardens or n
other ground where a horse marker
is not practicable, but a word in re-
gard to setting trees: by all means
pack the dirt firmly under and. around
all roots with your hands, and your
trees will stand a much better chance
of living than if set carelessly.

LETTERING THE FAMILY cow
Method Used in Holland Should be
Adopted Where Only One or
Two Cows Are Kept.

Small farmers having n or two
cows and not having any well-fenced
pasture for them, should tether the
animals as practiced in Holland and
in other portions of northern Europe,
says a writer in the Baltimore Amer
lean. Have a good leather holster for
each COW, a 20-foot lettering chain,
with a swivel to prevent chain from
wrapping up, can be had for Is cents.
The chain should be attached to a
crooked stake down securely in the
ground-the stake should be moved
twice during the day. Horses are
tethered by the following method:
This consists of a pole, the short end
of which is weighted, swiveled on
stout stake driven securely in the
ground. The halter strap is attached
to the long end of pole. This allows
the horse to Craze all the grass around
the pole. The halter being attached
to the upper end is always above the
back of the animal while feeding. This
arrangement prevents the horse or
cow from getting tangled up. 1t takes
a little more time. but it is a safer
method of lettering than by stake and
chain. This is much the better
method for lettering a horse or young
COW. BY lettering 10000 feet of good
grass land will feed m Gov the en-
tire summe months. This is a little
over ~one-quarter acre of land. The
drippings should be spread owe the
ground once a week. The lettering lot
should be given a dressing of fine.
raw bone meal at the rate Of 100
pounds to the quarter acre and a thin
coat Of slong horse manure spread
over the sod before winter sets in.
By this method the quality of the
grass "a be kept up and the stock
economically fed throughout the sum-
mer.

Tobacco Prospects.

The condition Of the tobacco crop
in the cigar leaf states is not fiatter-
ing. Owing to excessive rains the
young plants were, in many cases,
kept in the seed beds too long and a
disease known as black root rot re-
suited. Some of the plants set were
diseased, and in some instances new
plants had to be grown. On the
whole the crop was planted about ten
days late and has had very little
good growing weather. From the
heavy leaf tobacco states an increased
acreage is reported with plants In
good condition.

process may be followed in the same
sweated. The hands of tobacco were
piled or bulked, as shown in the ac-
companying picture, with stems all
in one direction. Tubes were placed
at various points for the insertion of
a thermometer into the center of the
bulk. When the temperature of the
interior of the bulk rose to lis de-
grees, the bulk was torn down, the
tobacco taken out, thoroughly shaken
and rebulked. That part of the to-
bacco which was on the inside of the
bulk was put on the outside. The
fermentation process was again al
lowed to GO On. This was repeated
until every part of the tobacco was
thoroughly cured. The tobacco was
then baled, mating and burlap being
sewed over the tightly pressed bale.
By the case sweating method the cur
ing is not so thorough. The ends
neal the case are. not sweated as
much as the interior.
BY the printing of tobacco, that Is,
plucking the leaves as they ripen, and
bulk sweating, a much finer grade of
wrapper is produced. There are ev-
eral farms on which outdoor grown
wrapper tobacco was produced by
these methods and sold at IS cents
per pound. Farmers who insist On
attempting to grow wrapper by old
fashioned methods have to put up
with prices ranging from IL to IL
cents. Printing is more expensive,
but the percentage of profit is great
w increased.

sional administration of the United States in
Cuba, which has left behind it a train of sad
and shameful recollections."
The official acts of Provisional Governor
Magoon, the Cuban paper claims, are open to
swift censure. 1t is alleged that his admins
tration was ready to squander the resources
of the Cuban treasury and that the award OF
$500, 900 to the government at Madrid only
three days before his provisional governorship
expired is one of many transactions of a pc
culiar and dubious nature" Among other
false reports the Opinion charges that there
has been a malicious effort in the United
States to cast discredit ON the Cuban govern
ment in alleging the prevalence of yellow fe-
yer, when, in fact, the fever was driven out
in 1901 and the island was kept clean till Oc-
tober, 1905, when it was re-introduced from
New Orleans in spite of the precautions Of
Cuban quarantine officials.
The Opinion shows that there is s141 ,000.-
600 of American capital invested in Cuba,
in railways, sugar and tobacco industries, real
estate, plantations. banks. navigation compa-
MES. mortgages, etc, while the English invest
ments total 500, 900, 900, of which all but
$10,O 900, 900 is in railways. 1t adds:
'The late provisional administration of the
United States in Cuba made itself famous for
the large number of contracts of all sorts into
which it entered. especially with American
contractors, for the construction of high
roads. bridges. aQueducts and other public i'm
provements. Many of these contracts were
made in the most informal. not to say i'm
moral manner, and give rise to much scandal
and to the complete discredit Of the provi-
sional administration. They cost the Cuban
treasury vast sums and it is the general i'm
preston that in many cases the execution OF
the work has been very deficient"

Better Sell the Hogs Early.

Following a summer of scarce and
high grain there is always a lot OF
hogs "roughed through" the summer
which are sold during the fall after
they are fattened on the new corn,
BY November they are generally pres
ent in such numbers in the market
that they lower the price to quite a
degree. BY pushing the hogs it is
possible to sell them before this rush
occurs and it generally pays to do SO.
There is a large number of hogs this
year to be fattened on new corn, hogs
which would ordinarily have been
sold during the summer.
