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
TANKS. The farmer complained that
his hogs were not eating we'll 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 pasture during the
day but at night slept in houses which
were used for the winter quarters.
l 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 source Of tremendous loss
in the raising Of hogs. They worry
the animals and prevent their feeding
we'll. 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>well.
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

PROTEST MADE
AGAINST HUNTER
No Reason Why Farmer Should
be Expected to Tolerate Band
Of Trespassers 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 a IRE, very -difficult to check one
that has once commenced. Even
though the majority of hunters are
careful never to toss aside a lighted
cigar, never tozstrike 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 well
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.
Cattle have been known to STAN
peed when gun was fred In close
proximity. Such treatment is ruinous
to the dairyman, to say nothing of the
frequent accidents. when valuable
animal Ia sacrificed, the hunter max

owner Of the land that much poorer
for his generosity.
Finally. the game is rapidly being
exterminated. and much Of 1t Is really

After the hogs have been dipped or

The hogs should not be returned to

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 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 a moderate application Of dips
and sprays and the burning Of old
bedding and withdrawing of the In
teriors of sleeping quarters will quick
ly put him out of business.
