being dipped. by rubbing the thick
scabs with a brush. Care should be
taken, however, not to draw blood.
as on coagulation it will protect the
mite from the dip.
Lambs do not need to be dipped for
so long time as older sheep, as their
wool is short. They are also more
delicate in constitution, hence cannot
stand the dipping as well as older
sheep.
Always water sheep before dipping,
otherwise they may drink the dip
which is sometimes found in little
puddles in the dripping pens.
Each sheep should be held in the
dip from two 10 three minutes, and
the head quickly immersed once or
twice just before the sheep leaves the
vat.
A sheep in moderate length Of wool
nd allowed to drip thoroughly after
being dipped will carry away from
two to three quarts Of the dip. A
sheep after being shorn will carry
away about a quart Of the dip.
The question should not be, how
many sheep can. be dipped in a day,
but how well can they be dipped.
If scabby sheep are taken direct
from a pasture and dipped, they
should not be returned to that place
for a period of 80 days. Heavy
rains are said. however. to disinfect
open fields. II the sheep have been
housed in buildings prior to the dip
ping, these buildings should be dis
infected before the sheep are returned
to them.
Purchase no proprietary dips ex-
cept those having the approval OF
your state agricultural department.
Use all proprietary dips exactly &C.

STARTING OF SEEDS INDOORS
Soil Must Be Kept Warm and Moist
but Not Too Wet--Avoid Crowd
ing of Plants.

Shallow boxes or fats are consid-
cred best for starting seeds indoors,
but pots do not take up so much
room, and are less unsightIy, so for
starting just few seedlings or to try
choice seeds we often use pot,
writes Lulu G. Parker in the Farmers
Wife. We have started pansy and
other seedlings often in the big pots
in which rubber plants or oleanders.
or other things which do not shade
the soil, are growing.
The soil must be kept warm and
moist, but not wet. For this purpose
piece of glass over the top OF the
pot viii help to hold the moisture, but
this glass must be tilted up some
what in order to let in some air or
the soil will sour and the seedlings
mold or damp off.
Sift the soil for the top layer and
cover the seeds about twice as deep
as the seed is thick. Press the soil
firmly over the seeds with the palm
Of the hand or a little board before
giving water so that they will not be
washed out. For very fine seed it will
be good plan to spread damp cloth
over the soil and then sprinkle the
water on the cloth until the seeds be.
gin to sprout.
After the seeds begin to sprout they
must be kept in the lightest window
and never allowed to get too dry OF
to grow too crowded.
The rest depends upon the seed It
self, therefore always buy from q
reputable scotsman.

Eon Txne In Hens.

Many poultrymen claim there Is an
egg type In fowls and that they can
pick out the good layers as veil as the
poor ones in flock. This claim is
based on the theory that certain PEE
culiarities of form or shape, such as
long body. wedge shape. broad rear.
small head, ETC.. indicate good laying
qualities. Experiments have shown
that hens with long IS well as short
bodies were indifferent layers, and
conversely good layers have been
found with short bodies, as well as
long ones. So far as tests have gone.
theory does not hold good.

TREATING SHEEP ScAB
Dip Made Of Tobacco or Coal
Tar Is Preferred.
Warm Water Is Better Than Cold, as
Former Cuts Grease and Allows So
tuition to Get to All Parts of
Animals skin.

Dipping i'll q reliable dip Is the
proper treatment for sheep afflicted
with sheep scab.
Use a dip made of lime and sui
phur, tobacco and sulphur, or one of
the coal tar dips.
Remove all sediment from the lime
and sulphur dip. as it injured the
wool.
Tobacco dips should never be
boiled.
For general dip a tobacco or coal
tar preparation is to be preferred to
lime and sulphur, as lime and sui
phur dip has little effect in destroy
ing the sheep tick or louise.
A fresh solution should be used for
the second dipping. This is absolutely
essential if the lime and sulphur or
the tobacco and sulphur are to be
used.
Mix the dip we'll in the vat.
1t Is better to use warm water than
cold water in dipping sheep, as warm
water cuts the grease and allows the
dip to get to all parts Of the skin OF
the animal.
The correct temperature for a
dip is from 100 to los degrees Fab
renheit
Sheep can be dipped in the winter
if warm days are selected for that
purpose.
II the sheep are badly afflicted with
scab, the thick scabs should be soft
ened previous to the dipping of the
sheep by pouring some of the dip on
these places and rubbing them with
some smooth instrument, or the scabs

MILL ENGINEERS TO
HOLD CONVENTION
First Of What Will Be Annual
Affairs Called for
October 20.

Under the auspices of the Hawaiian
Engineering Association. the sugar mill
engineers of the Territory will hold a
conyention in this city during the lat.
ter part of October, to discuss V;
rious phases of mllwork. It is hoped
to make this convention an annual af.
fair very much on the s2Go lines as the
annual meeting OF the sugar planters.
There will DO an afternoon and an
evening session on Monday, October
20, and the following day win be de-
voted to sightseeing or an excursion
of some sort On Tuesday the annual
banquet of the association will take
place, preceded by meeting for the
election of officers for the ensuing year.
Nose who have the planning of the
convention in charge have every hope
of making it of great benefit 10 the en-.
gineers because of the opportunity of
fered them to renew acquaintance, in
terchango ideas and to provide little
vacation for the members residing ON
the other Islands after the present
grinding season IS cntcu. from the
support given the movement by the
managers of the plantations and the ac-
cord with which the matter has been
taken up by the engineers themselves,
there seems to be every prospect for a
successful meeting.
President Sheedy of the association
has appointed committee of five 20
take charge of the meeting; one mill en-
gineer each from Oohu, Maui and Kauai
and two from Hawaii, consisting of u.
Renton Hind, Eva plantation, chair
man; II. McCubhin, Pioneer Mill; II. 5.
Truscott, Hawaiian Sugar Company; j.
E. Kennedy, Hakalau plantation, and
James Ogg, Hawaiian Agricultural
Company.
AS low sugar prices and hostile tariff
legislation demands greater efficiency
and lower cost in sugar manufacture,
there is no doubt but what these an
nua meetings viii be productive of
much good to not only the members
vitality interested in sugar, but to their
employers as well.
