MAKING FIGHT ON HOG LICE
Excellent Remedy Is Lard and Kero-
sene Oil, About Equal Parts
Will Not lnjure the Skin.
(By A. J. LEGG.)

1t has been a continuous fight with
cas against the hog lice. When / think
I have them killed out some neigh.
Dor brings a lousy SOW for breeding
and as a result there are plenty of lice
left to stock the entire herd. Then
l have to make a fight against hog
lice again.
If the sows have only a few lice
when the pigs are narrowed the entire
litter will soon be polluted with lice.
/ have seen numbers of half grown
lice on the pigs before they were a
week old.
Last spring I mixed hogs lard and
kerosene oil, about equal parts, and
creased the sows with it about ten
days before they were due to farrow,
then in a few days / went over them
again with the grease.
This killed the lice out so there
was not a louise found on the pigs
from the time they were narrowed
until they were weaned.
Either the kerosene oil or the lard
will kill the lice all right, but the
kerosene by itself will irritate the
skin and will oon evaporate while the
lard will stay on the hogs for several
days. This mixture will not injure the
skin.

Chaplin is now city editor Of the

A new reporter had been hired on

that he was a day short. He went to

Buy Feed or Sell Pios?

A good many are asking what they
are to feed their pigs, this season, with
corn at 80 cents a bushel and mid
dlings $1.75 per cwt, and prospects of
going still higher. For the man who
has pigs and no feed, we thing it would
be about the most reasonable thing for
him to sell his pigs to some man who
has feed, and save himself the drudg-
cry of carrying the food to them and
the risk of losing good money in the
process. 1t is the opinion of the writer
that rel with pork abnormally high,
there is no money to be made just now
by feeding hogs on a ration that must
all be purchased at current prices.

TREATMENT OF FLESH WOUND
Method Of Value to Every Owner Of
Stock ls Given by Prof. G. II.
Clever of Massachusetts,.

The following treatment Of flesh
wounds by Prof. G. H. Glover Of Mas
sachusetts is of value to every owner
Of stock, as he is a recognized au-
thority. The ordinary wound will heal
II not interfered with. This interfer-
ence may be from germs, parasites
meddling with the wound, on the part
of man or the animal itself. The
first thing to do, Of course, would be
to stop the hemorrbage. This can be
accomplished by a tight bandage OF
clean, white muslin applied either
over the wound or above 1t. A thread
may be run under the artery by using
a needle and tied. Do not use -four,
cirt, cobwebs or anything Of that sort
on the wound; they are unnecessary
and may produce dangerous infection.
Having checked the bleeding emove
the clots of blood and cut off the rag
ged edges of tissue with clean shears.
A pan of antiseptic solution should be
provided, and one Of the best antisep-
tics on the farm is creolin. Add a tea
spoonful Of this to a pint of water that
has been boiled and use 1t on the
wound two or three times a day. Place
the knife, shears, etc., in this solu-
ton and wash the hands before begin
ming to dress the wound.
See that there Is good drainage
from the wound and do not tie the
wound up with covering Of any kind.
In about one week it may be well to
change to dry dressing. In the mean
time 1t will be well to get in communi-
cation with some skilled veterinarian
who will advise you in the case from
time to time. / do not mention sew
ing up the wound for the reason that
in ragged cuts it is better not to do
so. Remember that the principal thing
is to get the wound healthy at the
start and then it will heal with very
little interference.
