shocked.

After the hogs have been dipped or
sprayed they should be turned into q
clean lot that has never been used for
hogs and the old quarters should be
abandoned, or If this is not practic-
able, every particle of bedding and
litter in the yards must be raked,
swept up and burned, and every foot
of ground in the yards and the fences
and sleeping quarters, as well, thor
oughly sprayed with strong disin-
fectant.
Kerosene emulsion, which is cheap,
can be used in this way to advantage.
The hogs should not be returned to
the old quarters for several weeks, and
second spraying or even a third be-
fore the hogs are turned in is ad-
visable.
If the hogs are allowed to occupy
the same pens and sleeping quarters
year after year, which are not fire.
quently cleaned and sprayed as above
suggested, lice will surely get into the
herd
AS this parasite multiplies with tre-
mendous rapidity it only takes a short
time to thoroughly infest hogs SO that
their thrift will be impeded.
The hog louise affects no other ami
NAL, but devotes his entire time and
attention to the swine. While he
is quite tenacious in the efforts to live,
still moderate application Of dips
and sprays and the burning of old
bedding and whitewashing. of the in
teriors of sleeping quarters will quick
ly put him out of business.

PROTEST MADE
AGAINST HUNTER
No Reason Why Farmer ShouId
be Expected to Tolerate Band
OF TresDassers Every
Fall.
(By BESSIE L. PUTNAM)

A few years ago, when the pioneers
along the line commenced to object to
the depredations of the hunter, they
were charged by hunter and surround
ing farmers alike as stingy and un-
accommodating. But more and more
is there a growing sentiment against
having ones farm used as a hunting
ground.
At this season 1t is very easy to
start fire, very difficult to check one
that has once commepced. Even
though the majority OF hunters are
careful never to toss aside lighted
cigar, never to strike matches in i'm
proper places, one never knows when
the careless one may come along and
do untold mischief.
There Is the annoyance to stock
The old saying, "One might as we'll
be killed as scared to DEATH" is ap-
plicable with peculiar force. Sheep,
worried by hunter and dogs. soon be-
come SO wild that not even the owner
can approach them readily.

frequent accidents, when a valuable
animal is sacrificed, the hunter max

owner Of the land that much poorer
for his generosity
Finally, the game is rapidly being
exterminated. and much Of it is really
the farmers friend. The quail, the
clear note of which fills all bird low
ers with Joy. is one of the best insect
and weed destroyers.
A flock of quail in the potato patch
renders the use Of Paris green un-
necessary. and the detested cut-worm
Is their favorite dessert
The farmer "feeos the world" but
there is no reason why he should be
expected to tolerate q band Of tres

life Of his possessions. In many COM
munit'es farmers are banding toeeth-

CHAPTER XXI.
An Interrupted Interview.

An interrupted interview.
Miss Christie Maclaire, attired in a
soft lounglng robe, her luxuriant hair
wound simply about her head, forming
decidedly attractive picture. gazed
with manifest dissatisfaction on the
bare walls of her room, and then out
through the open window into the
comparative quiet street below. The
bartender at the Palace" directly
opposite. business being slack. was
leaning negligently in the doorway.
His rowing eyes caught the fair face
framed in the window, and he waved
his hand encouragngly. Miss Chris
ties brown eyes stared across at him
in silent disgust, and then wandered
again about the ROOM her foot tapping
nervously on the rag carpet.
IT'S my very last trip to this town."
she said decisively, her red lips
pressed tightly together,
Miss Maclaire had indeed ample
reason to feel aggrieved over her re-
ception. She had written to have the
best apartment in the house reserved
for her, and then, merely because she
had later been invited out to Fort
Hays, and was consequently day be-
hind In arrival, had discovered that
another woman-a base imposter. act
ually masquerading under her name
had been duly Installed In the coveted
apartment. Driving In from the fort

the more susceptible junior officers.
conscious that she had performed
most artistic work the evening before
in the spacious mess-hall. and feeling
confident of comfortable quarters
awaiting her, 1t had been something Of
shock to be informed by the per-
turbed clerk that "15" was already
occupied by another "A lady what
come in last night, and | naturally
supposed 1t was you"
In vain Miss Maclaire protested.

who still gallantly attended her; the
management was obdurate. Then she
would go up herself. and throw the
hussy out. Indeed, too angry for
bantering further words. Christie had

perspiring Tommy succeeded in stop

Not long ago in looking over a
bunch of hogs in western Illinois we
observed that most of the animals
were afflicted with little sores, red
spots, on the thin places in their
skins.
These eruptions were particularly
noticeable back of the ear and on the
flanks. The farmer complained that
his hogs were not eating well and he
could not understand what caused the
sores to break out.
This bunch of hogs of all ages. from
three-months-old pigs to three-year-old
sows, ran on a pasture during the
day but at night slept in houses which
were used for the winter quarters
suggested that the trouble might
be caused by lice, and the farmer
caught two or three pigs and found
them almost alive with parasites. He
was astonished and admitted that he
had never examined one of his ami.
mails before.
Many farmers do not realize that
lice are a source of tremendous loss
in the raising of hogs. They worry
the animals and prevent their feeding
well, and in many cases produce sores
or eruptions which naturally retard
growth.
1t is not difficult to rid the pig of
lice by dipping or spraying, but these
remedies are of no use unless the
pens and sleeping quarters are rid of
the lice as we'll.
The best dip to use is some of the
tar solutions, as they are harmless.
We do not believe in kerosene emul-
sion because unless great care is TAX
en- to keep the solution very weak the
animals will blister if allowed to run
in the hot sun after being sprayed.
When a bunch of hogs is badly in
tested the animals should be dipped,
although spraying may be used, pro-
vided the hogs are tied and thrown
SO that the spray may cover every
portion OF the body. 1t is no use to
