TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Bestinq the Hoo Lice.

UP to this year my young pigs have
been badly troubled with hog lice.
writes A. J. Legg in Farm and Fire
side. Although I-killed the ice on the
old hogs repeatedly with kerosene, in
a few weeks there would be lice again
on them sufficient to infest the young
pigs. The trouble was that while the
Kerosene would kill every louise it
touched, there were sure to be some
nits left to hatch out or else few lice
escaped and the oil was soon gone
Last spring 1 separated my sows into
pens few days before they were due
to farrow and covered their backs with
mixture Of kerosene and hog lard.
The lard stayed on for several days.
When the oil was about all gone from
their backs applied it again. Not a
louise was to be found on either the
sows or their pigs until the pigs were
weaned, nor have there been any since.
The hog lard and kerosene mixture is
a much more satisfactory lice remover
than kerosene alone. and it is not so
hard on the hogs skin

LITTLE LOCAL LEGIS-
LAT|0N BY CONGRESS
Short Session Will Be Devoted
to Measures of Present
Administration.

Washington Comparatively little
local legislation for the Pacific North
west will be considered at the an.
preaching short session of CONGRESS-
In the brief three months from De.
cember to March 4, Congress will
be obliged to pass all of the great
supply bills that provide for running
the government, and when to this
necessary program are added a few
important general measures that will
be pressed by the administration. lit
tie time will be available for purely
local legislation for any part of the
country. Therefore, most of the mend.
ing bills introduced by the Senators
and Representatives from Oregon,
Washington and Idaho will fall of
enactment
AS matter of fact, there will be
little more than two months of &C.
tive work in Congress this winter.
Not much can be accomplished before
the holiday recess, outside of the
preparation by committees of the big
bills that go on the legislative slate.
The recess itself will take out. two
weeks, 80 that most of the active leg.

ECONOMICAL FEEDING
OF DAIRY CATTLE
Ration to Be Fed Depends
Largely on Milk Production.

To make the dairy profitable with
has to be one in which every animal
shows good milk test and responds
automatically. so to speak, to good
feeding The farmer can determine
their qualifications as milk producers
by use of the scales and Babcock test.
When it comes to feed he should do
some careful figuring on what to feed
and how much. Nature has provided
that the COW supply herself first and
the milk bucket second. True, some
high bred dairy animals will keep up
their milk flow for time by depicting
their own bodies. but that means Sc
rious injury to them. Experiments
show that normally about 60 per cent
of the food which COW can eat goes
for the maintenance of the body. The
other 40 per cent finds it's way into
the milk pail The cow IS. therefore,
entitled to all she can eat and digest
properly.
To feed her economically, no dairy
man can say feed each cow so many
pounds of grain and so many pounds
of roughage. The amount of each feed
depends largely upon the flow of milk.
A cow giving large flow of milk re-
quires more feed than one giving less.
Here is where good judgment is above
par. Otter the cow owner has more
grain than roughage or he may be
short on grain and long on roughage.
He will need to make close study
Of the balanced ration to put profit in
the pail.
Sometimes we get the idea that the
more a cow eats the more milk she
will give. If she assimilates all she
eats that is fact, but there is such
q thing as OVERRIDING the matter, so
that the excess of feed will be an ac-
tual hindrance to the production OF
milk. What we want to do is to feed
the COW all she will turn to advantage
and no more. Clean hangers will
tell the story as rule. Anything left
over is pretty good sign that we are
feeding too much of some things

Sheep Shearinds.

Dip your sheep at least once a year
and you will find it profitable.
Good lambs are never reared unless
they receive favorable start in life.
A sheep must produce a variety Of
products if it is to be most profitable
Mutton sheep give theobest returns
when fed for that purpose when
young.
In order to realize the most for
wool there must be a uniformity of
condition.
Sheep can stand almost any degree
Of dry cold so long as their fleece is
not wet. 1t is necessary that sheep
have tight roof over their heads.

Supply Fodder Early to Calves,

Young dairy calves-and. indeed, all
calves-should be given good folders
early. 1t is important that these
should be given to them early. so that
the proper distension of the paunch
may take place in due order If it does
not the capacity to take food becomes
limited. Even with calves of the beef
breeds the tendency is in the direction
of giving too little attention to this
matter. The free feeding of meal to
calves makes flesh in good form, but
it does not distend the stomach.

GAME ENDS
IN MURDER CHARGE

Wheeler, w. Va.-A warrant charg-
ing Thomas Mccoy, right end of the
Bethany College football team, with
murder in connection with the death
of Captain Rudolph Munk, of the
West Virginia team, was issued here
by Magistrate Hobbs. The action fol-
lowed a partial inquest by Coroner
Rogers.
Munk sustained injuries in the
game between the two teams Satur-
day from which he died five hours
later without regaining consciousness
The testimony was furnished princi-
pally by Homer N. Young, a Pittsburg
attorney, who umpired the game.
Deliberate Blow Charged.
Young testified that Munk was max
ing interference and was a few yards
in front of the scrimmage line when
Mccoy came up to the West Virginia
captain, striking him on the head.
Munk fell to the ground unconscious
and Young ordered Mccoy from the
game.
The autopsy disclosed that Munk' 8
death was caused by blodo clot at
