scnb 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 a parasitic mite.
Investigation has shown that the dis
ease is not hereditary, as the parasites
which cause it live on the external sur
face of the body. 1t is possible, how
ever, 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
hygienic conditions alone, though Of
Importance in connection with the sub
ject of treatment, cannot be relied
upon to cure scab. The only rational
treatment consists In using some ex-
ternal application 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.

Stick to tho FarmI

To the wide-eyed farmer boy,
Then he hies him back to the White
House home,
With its air of rustic JOY.
Stick to the farm" says the railroad
king
To the lad who looks afar,
Then hikes him back on the double

To his rustic private car.
Stick to the farm" says the clergy
man
To the youth on the worm fence
perch,
Then he lays his ear to the ground to
hear
A call to city church.
Stick to the farm" says the doctor

To those who would break the rut,
Then hies him where the appendix
grows
In bountiful crops to cut.

Do Farmers Read BuI1etinss


l have noticed one thing in partic
ular while travelling in some of our
best agricultural states, and that Is,
when l see a number of we'll dressed
farmers discussing beef and milk ra-
tions, feeding young animals for a
healthy development, nitrogen, potas-
slum and phosphorus and their rune
tions in plant growth and protein and
carbohydrates and their functions In
animal growth, l am invariably in a
prosperous and up-to-date community.
Now, the question is, do the best and
most intelligent farmers read their
bulletins and keep in touch with their
station workers and read the agri-
cultural press, or does the reading OF
these bulletins and agricultural papers
make more intelligent farmers? 1t is
one or the other considered from either
standpoint, for these bulletins and
agricultural papers are not read by the
poor and uneducated class of'farmers,
neither do they circulate as freely
among the poorer farmers as they do
among the farmers in the better agri-
cultural communities. - Agricultural

siIo Feeding.

Not only must the silo be erected
shelter must be provided for the cat
tie during winter. Then II corn is
fed in the form of silage there will be
successful results. A great many
farms buy stock cattle in the fall OF
the year. turn them into stalk fields
and resell them toward spring as feed
ers. If the market is normal there will
usually be a profit, but It. nevertheless,
is a wasteful practice. A much greater
profit would be secured from silo feed
ing as mentioned.

have but one means, by forming

not because they want to. They
should therefore be protected with
every weapon, including the ballot.
Women are hard to unionze, be-
