AGRICULTURAL CORRESPOND
ENCE COURSE.

In September, 1910, the department
of agricultural education in the agri-
cultural college started course OF
agriculture by mail. This was begun
with little or no funds at hand and
with much misgivings, as similar work
has been started in other schools
only to be given up.
The result Of this work in Arkan-
sas has been very gratifying indeed
because of the many students we have
had and because of the many letters
from other states congratulating us
on the success we have made.
During the year we have had re-
quests from over three hundred
teachers and farmers over the state
and of this number about two hum
dred took the courses and most OF
them were greatly benefited as testi-
fled by the letters received at this
office. Others of course, not know.
ing the difficulties we were working
UNDER and probably expecting too
much did not seem to be satisfied
with the course and would tell US
how 1t ought to be run, etc. Not
withstanding this and the fact that
the recent legislature did not see tit
to appropriate any money for this
work we are going to carry on the
work next year and make it better
than ever before.
The agricultural education depart
ment and the work will be carried On
next year under that department but
under the direction of the same men
who had direction of the work this
year, who will devote their entire
time to this work. The course has
been changed in several ways and
will be much more practical next
year.
We cannot make this work sue
cess without the cooperation of the
farmers, but, with their loyal support
like we had this year We will have
other states asking, "How did you
do it," as several have already asked.
The course will be open for next
year September list, after our vaca-
ton is over and we begin to think OF
the next years crop. Write to us
for information and blanks.

KEEP HOGS FREE FROM LICE

When hogs become infested with
lice it is source of serious annoy
ance to them, causing them to fail to
make satisfactory gains in the feed
lot, and in the case of young pigs lice
may be secondary it not an immedt-
ate cause of death. Lice when very
numerous cause a serious drain On
the vitality of the hog, and in case
of outbreaks of disease the hog which
has had it's vitality weakened by being
seriously infested with lice is much
more liable to contract the disease
and succumb to it, than the uninvest-
ed one.
Lice are most numerous around
the ears, and in the folds of skin on
the jowl, flank and sides, and on the
inside of the legs. To thoroughly get
rid of these pests a dipping vat, such
as may now be obtained on the mark
ct at a very reasonable price and any
one of number of good disinfectants
and lice killers should be used. In
the case of small herds or where the
herd is not badly infested the hogs
may be effectively treated by spray.
ing the disinfectant on them with a
small hand spray pump.
In the case of badly infested herds
all loose bedding should be burned
and the hog quarters thoroughly dis.
infected. By keeping the hogs free
from vermin and keeping their quar-
tiers clean and healthy, and by provid.
ing dry clean yards, good pure drink k,
ing water, and good pasture, the dan.
ger from the various hog diseases Is
reduced to a minimum
