SURE DEATH TO ALL INSECTS
Paris Green Mixed With Land PIas-
ter Is One of the Best Preventlves
of RaVages of Bugs.

Paris green mixed with dry pow
dered land plaster or rye -four, one
tablespoonful to the gallon, is the
best preventive of the ravages of po-
tato bugs, coddling moth, caterpillars,
slugs and worms. If in solution mix
one pound in 200 gallons of water.
Buy pure freshly made paris green.
A cheap kind is lacking in strength.
The paris green should be applied as
soon as the first worms appear. The
quickest way is to sprinkle it on
with the hand. An active man can
cover several acres in day Apply
early in the morning when the dew
is on the leaves. Two applications
will nearly always answer In case
shower should wash off the powder,
a third application will be needed.
Slug shot may be used instead of
paris green.

KEEPING LICE FROM POULTRY
Maine Experiment Station Bulletin
Recommends Simple and Quite
inexpensive Treatment.

One of the difficult and trying prob
lens of the poultry keeper Is to keep
his poultry houses and stock free
from lice, mites, etc. There are many
proprietary preparations on the mar
ket to combat these, most of which
work satisfactorily. However, they
are more or less expensive. The
Maine experiment station has Just is
sued a bulletin on the subject and
recommends a treatment which ap-
pears to be fully as simple as any
thing else, and much less expensive.
The powder made by the station at a
cost of only few cents a pound Is as
follows: Take three parts of gasoline
and one part of crude carbolic acid.
Mix these together. Add gradually,
while stirring, enough plaster Of paris
to take up all the moisture. The liquid
and dry plaster should be thoroughly
mixed and stirred so the liquid will be
uniformly mixed through the plaster.
When enough has been added, the re-
sulting mixture should be dry, pink
ish-brown powder, having a strong car
bolic odor and a rather less pro-
nounced gasoline odor. Be sure that
the crude carbolic acid is secured.
II spray is desired instead Of the
powder, simply take three parts of
kerosene and one part Of crude car
bolic acid. If birds are infested with
lice the best way to get rid Of them
is to use the powder, which is to be
worked into the feathers. Remember,
a single application will not be suffi-
cient, because where there are lice
or nits. Make a second application
four days to week after the first
and if it is bad case third applica
tion may be necessary.

SEPARATING YOUNG AND OLD
Pullets Need Plenty Of Flesh Forming
Food, Such as Barley, With Less
FattenIng Feeds.

Young chickens, like young people,
have more or less timidity and there
fore 1t Is not well to run young and
old together, at least 1t is much bet
ter to have them separate If you can
well do so. Then again the pullets are
still growing and they need plenty of
flesh forming feed, such as barley,
bone, meat with less Of fattening
foods. The hen should not be deprived
of these either, but she can get along
on less, as what you give her will not
be taken away from the purpose for
which you intended 1t, as in the case
with the pullet, which not only needs
these things for making the egg, but
to go toward the development of her
body. 1t naturally follows, too. that
the developed bird will require less
feed than the pullet, and because the
pullet is somewhat timid she is likely
not to get enough, or even her share.
The young will feed moro free among
themselves and II you can possibly do
so, keep them to themselves

It is a mistake to keep a monde
script bull simply because he cost a
little money.
Hogs follow the rows and tramp
down less Of the rape if it is drilled
instead of broadcasted
For sheep the silage should be cut
very fine. Otherwise they leave/the
butt sections of the stalks.
With the silo five steers can be fed
as cheaply as four without. That
gives you the gain of one steer free.
Aside from the feed problem, sheep
cause the flock master little trouble
in summer, unless we except the
parasites.
AS a general proposition 1t may be
said that the SOW that has Pigs be-
fore she is a year old will disappoint
her owner.
Glover silage makes excellent hog
feed In winter. They eat every bit of
1t. Some waste in feeding corn
silage to hogs.
When you turn your team over to
hostler at the feed barn be sure to
see that they get the water, oats and
hay you pay for,
In hot weather horse should not
be fed much corn. Oats and bran are
much better. The more work the
more feed of course.
Live stock husbandry will postpone
soil depletion for longer period of
time than grain farming. but It win
not prevent depletion.
Green forage must be fed with dis
erection and sparlHgly at first or pro.
fuse sweating will result and some
times collie and weakness.

WHEN TO SELL FOR PROFIT
Different Feeds Have Much to Do
With Money Returned-ssvsn
Months ls Best Age.
cHy W. Q. HosTANpl


write only from my own expert
ence of over 20 years in raising hogs
for the market.
Different localities and different
feeds make q great deal more or less
profit in the keep of the hog. Some
feed too long and consume part of the
profit, while others feed not long
enough or literally enough to make
what they ought to make.
run all my hogs on alfalfa from
birth until sold, either for breeders or
for the packer, and as soon as they
weigh 200 pounds each, or about that,
l sell or kill them.
II you are feeding pure-blooded
hogs Especially IL the blood is red)
they will weigh from IT'S to 225
pounds each at six or eight months
of age. think seven months old Is
the best age, and the most profitable
hog we can SELL
The younger you sell, the less risk
of disease, the less trouble, time and
| feed 1t takes. The sooner you sell,
| the more room and the better care
for the lext litter.
| The cheapest gain Is made while
the pig is small. A pig weighs about
three pounds at birth. With reason
able care it will gain on an average
one-fourth pound day for the first
10 to 20 days.
So you see 1t doubles its weight in
12 days, and at 65 cents per bushel
for corn, and s1.50 for 100 pounds
for shorts the first three pounds of
gain cost about three and one-fourth
cents per pound, allowing eight pigs
to the litter for each SOW.
Don't try to get the market ready
for your hogs, but get your hogs ready
for the market. Sell them when they
are fat and not before. Keep the kind
that top the market and you will make
money If feed is high.
Registered hogs gain faster bring
more money for the feeder, and make
more pounds of meat out of the grain
fed them than any other animal Oh
earth.

EAPM NOTES

Take care of your surplus garden
crops.
Well-graded seed grain is free from
foul seed
Corn silage has passed the expert
mental stage.
Millet should be cut for hay when it
is just heading out.
The cultivation of kafir corn and
milo maize is very similar.
Wheat may be cut for hay when 1t
is in blossom or shortly after it has
headed.
Every season sees some new use
to which explosives may be put on
the farm.
Milo maize is similar in composition
to Indian corn and will make very
good silage.
Cement will solve the fence post
problem for those who have a gravel
pit near by.
Corn silage is perhaps the most
economical stock food any western
farmer can raise.
1t doesn't pay to use old, worn-out
cultivator teeth when new ones can
be bought SO cheaply.
Alfalfa is too good feed to be con-
demned by those fellows who do not
know much about 1t.
Fence wires that are grounded do
not represent very much expense and
they may prove mighty profitable in
case of storm.
Sorghum has proved very profita-
BILE crop on many of the most i'm
proved farms. 1t is especially good
for dairy cows and hogs.

The Horses Hoofs.

If the horses hoofs are hard and
inclined to be shelly" do not let
anybody put oil or grease on them,
for this only clogs the hoof material,
which should absorb water instead of
repelling it. Such hoofs are best
treated by. soaking them several
hours together in warm water slight
ly salted. or by turning out the horse
at night in pasture where he will
get the hoofs wet in the dew.

WHITEWASH SURE TO STICK
Preparation Easily Made and VIII
Add Greatly to Appearance Of
Many Farm Buildings.

There are many brick and stone
walls, as well as wooden outbuildings,
fences and the like, about a subur-
ban place which, lacking paint, de-
tract much from the general appear
ance of the home. But paint is some
what expensive and cannot be applied
with too lavish hand by the average
citizen. There is, however, white
wash, which is easily made and ap-
piled, is inexpensive and which for
most outdoor work will answer quite
as we'll as oil paint. For chicken
houses, brick walls and the like it Is
excellent.
To make the whitewash slake half
q bushel of fresh lime with boiling
water, keeping it covered during the
process. The lime should not, of
course, be confined, but merely COW
cred, as confined, it possesses consid-
erable explosive force. Strain 1t and
add a peck of salt dissolved In warm
water, three pounds of ground rice
put in boiling water and boiled to a
thin paste, half a pound of powdered
Spanish whiting and pound of clear
glue dissolved in warm water. Mix
these well together and let the mix
ture stand for seven days in reason
ably cool and shaded place. Keep the
wash thus prepared in kettle, and
when it is being used put it on as
hot as possible, using a painters or
an ordinary whitewash brush. AL
ways use magnetism lime for white
wash.
