VALUABLE AGENCY

Brunt Drug Co. of this city have just
closed a deal whereby they will con-
tinue to be agents for ZEMO-the well
known remedy for Eczema, Dandruff,
and all diseases of the skin and scalp.
The extraordinary leap that this
clean LIQUID external treatment for
skin affections has made into public
favor in the last few years proves its
wonderful curative properties and
makes it indeed a valuable addition to
the fine stock of remedial agents car
ried by the Brunt Drug Co
They have limited supply of sam
pies. One of which will be given free
to any skin sufferer who wishes to test
the merit of the medicine. A booklet
How To Preserve The Skim will also

Flies are great nuisance and pro-
lection should be afforded cattle and
other live stock. The proprietary rem
edies give good results, but applica-
tons must be repeated frequently in
order to have the desired result. The
Kansas experiment station recon-
mends the following preparation
Resin, one and a half pounds
laundry soap, two cakes; fish oil, one
half pint; enough water to make three
gallons. Dissolve the resin in solu-
ton of soap and water by heating,
add the fish oil and the rest OF the

preparation is more lasting than the

other animals of the bovine species,
and if the tick can be kept from get
ting on their hosts, they will starve to
death This being true, methods of
eradication have been devised which
have proved very effective when put
into practical operation.
One may pick the ticks from the
their growth. This prevents a new
crop from developing This method
is only practicable where there are
few animals on the farm Another
method where limited number of cat
tie are treated is to sponge or brush
them with crude petroleum, cottonseed
oil, or equal parts of kerosene and
lard. Where the pastures are badly
infested this treatment should be
pursued every ten or twelve days, care
being taken to smear the tail and
legs thoroughly. When a large num-
Der of cattle are maintained, spraying
in a chute is the best method of de-
stroying the ticks. Any ordinary
spray pump may be used. On large
plantations dipping vat should be
constructed. If built of concrete it will
last indefinitely and it may be built
by ordinary farm labor Probably the
most complete and satisfactory meth
cd of destroying ticks is. by rotation
of pastures or feed lots. Ticks may be
destroyed in four and half months
by dividing a part of the farm, say
into four lots. Field A should be a
permanent pasture; field B is Guilt
waited in farm crops and sown in ce-
reals in the winter; field G should be
used for soiling crops, and field D is
Bermuda pasture or velvet beans
Those desiring to secure details of
this plan can do so by applying to the
Georgia College of Agriculture for bull
letin lat. If the cattle are removed
from permanent pasture A on June Is
and kept off until November 1, it will
be free of ticks, and in the meantime
they should be maintained on fields G
and d. The simplicity, efficiency and
practicability of this plan, which may
be so easily adopted on the greater
part of our farms, renders it one of
the most desirable methods OF destroy
ing ticks, and it does not involve much
expense. 1t is worth while making the
effort needed to free our lands perma-
nently from this menace to our live
stock industry.

HOUSEKEEPING RuTs.

When are we to be emanclpated
from the old bugbear of Madam
Grundy and the way mother used 10
do? Mothers ways we're good ways,
but conditions change. THE laws
that in our fathers days we're good
are not the laws for us; so we must
get out of the ruts and be able to
swing along on high ground.
Is the old-fashioned Monday the
best day for washing, or is it the day
that has always been used and so we
follow the procession? Tuesday is IN
every way better day, for If the
clothing must be picked up, looked
over, mended or stains removed, Sun
day is not the day for it. After the
day of rest Monday comes full OF the
many things that were left from the
week end If the laundry work is
added to all the rest, it makes too
full day. In homes where the day
is used to get the clothing in condition
to wash, the work is made much
lighter
Must we always serve potatoes
with our dinner or every other meal!
Can we not occasionally break away
and get out of that rut? Serve hom-
my, fried bananas or boiled rice.
Do you have the same kind of des-
sert every week or two? There are
simply millions of ways of preparing
desserts. Have variety, SO that the
family do not tire of the same one.
We are always glad of finding an
old friend in a new dress. For those

and if it is not picked. little lemon
juice. Let 1t stand an hour or longer
in this marinade. turning often. Then
broil delicately, lay on plate and
butter the rough sides generously.
Garnish with chopped parsley or
cress, and serve two rounds to each
person.

HARMFUL HOG LOUISE
Insect Causes Much Trouble in
Raising Swine.
Fortunately They Are So Large That
They Can Easily Be Seen-LiabIe
to Appear at Any Season
of the Year.

The hog louise is the only insect
which onuses much trouble in raising
hogs, and when it once becomes estab-
lished in a drove it is not easily ex-
terminated. Fortunately the lice are
SO large that they can be seen easily,
and their presence may therefore be
known before they become very album
dant. They are liable to appear at
any season of the year, and they
thrive on hogs of any age or condi-
ton. They are found in and behind
the ears, back Of the shoulders, and
in the creases on the lower part of
the ham more frequently than else
where; if those places are free from
them there is little danger that they
exist on other parts of the animal.
Coal oil is surs death to every louise
the eggs, and must be used with eau
ton to prevent it's blistering the skin
of the hog When a large drove is
to be treated, the work can be done
very quickly by using spray pump
having an attachment for mixing the
oil and water to one part of OIL When
such a mixture is thrown over the hogs
in fine spray only little of the oil
is used to cover the whole animal, and
of spraying is done III the evening,
nearly all the oil will have evaporated
by morning and there will be no bis
tering of the skin when the hogs are
exposed to the hot sun on the follow
ing day. So little oil is used in the
spraying that few of the eggs will be
killed, and the work should be repeat
ed at the end of week, and again at
the end of the second week. If the
work is thoroughly done, three spray
ngs will be sufficient. If spray pump
is not available, the hogs should be
rubbed with mixture containing two
twice at intervals of a week. The
sleeping places should be thoroughly
cleaned, the bedding burned, and the
inside of the buildings thoroughly wet
with coal oil.
Even with the most thorough treat
ment it requires time and patience to
clean a drove which has become badly
infested, but it must be done if the
hogs are to be kept in thriving con-
dition. 1t is not difficult to destroy the
larger part of he lice, but that is not
sufficient for where there are even
few eggs left in the ears or under the
iowls of single animal the pest will
soon become as bad as ever.
Lice never infest clean hogs when
they are not brought from an infested
drove, and. the hog raiser who has a
clean herd cannot be too careful to
keep it so. No stray hog should be
allowed on the premises, and any
which are purchased should be exam
ined very carefully before they are al
lowed to run with the others. The
oil mixture should always be kept close
at hand where it can be used immedi-
ately if any indications of lice are
seen. 1t is much easier to kill a few
lice on few animals than to clean
a thoroughly infested herd.
