GOOD DEMAND FOR
HIGH-CLASS HORSES
Insistent Call for Draft Animals
Cannot Be SuppIied-Mare
Is Profitable.
(By III. G. GARDNER)

There is an insistent market demand
for high-class horses, especially for
draft horses, that cannot be supplied.
On the other hand, the country Is
flooded with common ordinary plug
horses. They do not fill any particular
requirement Or demand. hence the
very low and prohibiting prices for
which they must sell This insistent
demand for high-class draft horses
does not come from the market alone.
There also comes a demand from the
farm, for this is a day of heavy ma
chinery. demanding and increased
amount Of motive power. Experience
has proven that the most satisfactory
and economical form Of motive power
on the average farm Is the heavy,
sound draft mare Besides doing most

handled. Thus she Is constantly pro-
ducing a profit other than by means Of
the work she does. The gelding or
mule will not do this and In these
days of high-priced lands, feeds. and
labor this proposition Is worthy Of
careful consideration.

HUBBlES MUST POUND ROCK
New Pennsylvania Law Is Put into

Time.

Philadelphia.-When six deserving
husbands were sentenced to three
months work. breaking stone at the
house of correction by Judge Breezy
there was put into operation for the
first time in Pennsylvania a new law.
passed by the last legislature, which
the court declared would materially
reduce the cases Of wife desertion in
this state.
The law empowers the court to COM
NIT recalcitrant husbands to the house
of correction, there to be placed at
some profitable employment at hard
labor, and provides that IS cents a
day shall be deducted from their
earnings and paid to the wife. The
minimum sentence is three months,
but this may be extended to six
months IL the husband shows no will
lngness otherwise to support his wife.
Heretofore the only punishment
within the power Of the court in this
state was a jail sentence, leaving the
mans wife and family to be taken
care of. in many instances, by char
ity.

me idea of a purely municipal exhibit
ton illustrating the work of the city
by means Of models, pictures, dia-
grams, plans and charts, and showing
the citizens the value they receive in
return for their money, somewhat on
the plan Of our American budget ex-
hibits. They, however, were designed
to show what was done with the
money after it was spent, whereas,
the American exhibits are designed to
educate the people to demand the ap-
preparation of adequate sums. The
exhibits are housed in a building spe-
cially prepared for the purpose, and
they are wonderfully interesting and
are being visited every week by thou
sands of the Cologne taxpayers. 1.-THE
grumblers," the editor declares, "are
silenced, and it is expected that the
grateful citizens will shortly rise in a
body and demand a general increase
in the salaries and emoluments of the
city" "We have visited" the editor
further said, "other exhibitions in Ger
many, but none quite like this n at
Cologne, and it occurs to Us that it
will be a thousand pities if the valu-
able models, pictures and charts that
constitute it's most attractive features
are destroyed or packed away in

By LEROY d. SWINGLE.)
The sheep tick is one Of the worst
enemies that the sheep raiser has to
meet. The damage that it does is
accomplished slowly, silently and con-
%tinuously. For this reason the dam
age may not be noticed or thought to
be of much consequence. Neverthe-
less. in the course of a year, constant
ly Fostering Its host by its blood
sucking habit, the sheep tick can eff
feet a large amount of damage, which,
however, is hard to estimate. IL it
should require but ten cents worth of
grain more to raise and fatten a ticky
lamb than one without ticks, the dam
age done In a flock Of 10, 0 is 81, 900.
This is worth considering. The fact
is that the damage is more than ten
cents per sheep when the effect on the
wool is added. Therefore, laying aside
our moral duty to allay the suffering
of the suffering brute, there is potent
financial reason for destroying the
sheep tick. For determining intelli-
gent methods Of destroying the tick
it was necessary to discover the de-
tails of it's life history.
The life history is divided into four
stages: the egg, the larva, the pupa,
and the image, or fully developed tick.
This is the stage that is common to
everyone. The egg is not laid as in
the case with most flies. After ferti.
lization it remains in the uterus of the
mother and develops into q larva,
which is laid in the wool of the sheep.
This larva changes into the pupa stage
in about II hours after ii is laid.
When first laid it is covered with
a white chitinous membrane which
soon becomes brown and hard. For
convenience, / shall include in the
pupa stage that portion of the larva
stage which is passed outside of the
tick and shall speak of the tick as
laying a pupa. Most people call the
pupa an egg.
From the standpoint of the eradi-
cation of the tick the incubation pc
riod of the pupa, /. e., the time elaps-
ing between the laying and the hatch.
ing, is the most important. None of
the sheep dips will kill all the pupae,
hence more than one dipping is rec
essary. The last dipping must occur
after all of the pupae have Matched.
1t was found that pupae would
hatch in from 10 to % days in warm
weather. In cold weather the incuba-
ton period might be much longer,
sometimes SO days being required.
Thus the last dipping in summer must
be at least % days after the first in
order to kill all the ticks after they
have Matched. In autumn or spring
the last dipping should not occur
sooner than 25 to % days after the
first.
The question of next importance is

how old must q tick be before it lays
its first pupa? Experiments indicate
that ticks may lay their first pupa
within two weeks after Matching. This
means that a young tick Matching
soon after the first dipping may reach
sexual maturity and lay it's first pupa
before the last of the other pupae on
the sheep have Matched. Theoretical
ly, 1t would be necessary, in order to
prevent this, to make another dipping
about two weeks after the first. Three
dippings placed two weeks apart are
certain to eradicate the tick, If the
proper dip is used. There are, how
ever, certain other factors that make
it unnecessary to use three clippings,
two being sufficient. These should be
placed about % to 2S days apart in
such weather as occurs in September.
1t is difficult to determine which is
the best dip to use, some being better
In certain respects and poorer in 9TH
ers. The effect upon the wool and the
cost must also be taken into consider
alton. The first essential is hat the
dip will kill the ticks and not injure
the sheep. Among the coal tar dips
there are several that may be men.
toned as effective.
1t should be remarked that sheep
and lambs with short wool should be
left in the dip longer than those with
long wool, on account of their drying
more quickly.
The best time to dip is probably in
the autumn. The chief reason for ad-
vising dipping in the fall is that the
wool on the lambs and sheep will be
grown out SO as to retain more dip.
more certain. III they are carefully
dipped then the flock will be rid of
the ticks and no dipping will be need
ed thereafter. The result will be that
the next crop of lambs will be free
from ticks from the first.
The sheep tick once eradicated will
not return to the flock uni1ss they
associate with other ticky Sheep. The
sheep tic, will not live but a few days,
generally not over three or four, off
the sheep. In this respect it differs
from the true tick, which may be
picked up by the host in the brush
The sheep ticks whole life is spent
on the sheep. The pupae will, how
ever, hatch even if they are kept of
the sheep during the whole incubation
period. 1t is therefore important to
keep the sheep after dipping away
from the shorn wool for at least q
month. Young ticks will be Matching
out in the shorn wool for three or
four weeks after shearing.
1t is hardly necessary to mention
the fact that the attendants should not
come in contact with the undipped
sheep and then associate with the
dipped flock.
