lucky, has this year tried a CROP
of sunhower seed, as the water
went off of his land too late to
replant corn. The seed cost him
$1.20 per ace and he did not get
q good stand. The notice of Mr.,
Phillips experiment does not
tell how many acres he planted,
but does state that he made co.,
600 pounds Of the seed, without
cultivation or labor except in the
planting, and that he sold the
seed at 3 cents per pound, max

KIDDING THE HOGS OF LICE
First Thing Is to Disinfect Pens, Bed
ding and Wallow-Then Use Pow
dered Staphisagria.

(By E. T. BAKER. Veterinarian. Idaho
Experiment Station.)
A pig weighing $50 pounds will have
approximately IL pints of blood, each
pint containing 1880 drops, or a little
over $4,000 drops of blood. If louise
abstracts drop day, and the pig
is boarding several thousand lice, it
Is easy to see where the profit goes
when "hogs don't pay"
1t is worse than useless to dope"
the pig with "lice killer" without dis
injecting pens, bedding and, in the
spring, the wallow.
First. burn all the loose, dry straw,
clean out manure; spray the pen
floors. walls. beams, troughs and every
crevice with ten per cent. solution
Of fo-malin or half-gallon Of formalin
to five gallons of water. Creolin may
be added to wallow In warm weather,
say half a pint to large wallow.
Then dust on each pig powdered
staphisagria. This will cause the aver
age louise to homestead elsewhere.

leave the city in the morning and take

thence to Edmore, where they could
take dinner and spend little time,
then journey on 10 Lawton, Brocket,

FART
ANIMALS
FEED NEW CORN GRADUALLY
If Given In Moderation at the Start
Hogs VIII by Degrees Get
Accustomed to It.
(By r. G. wEATHERsToNE.)

(By r. G. wEATHERsToNE.)
Danger turks in feeding an abun-
dance of new corn. Feeders should
introduce new corn gradually by cut
ting 1t up and feeding it with other
feeds and with the pasture crops.
If fed moderately at the start hogs
will consume both ears and stalks
and by degrees get accustomed to the
new feed.
BY the time the stalks are hardened
they will be in condition to consume
larger quantities of the grain with
safety and profit Unless hogs have
plenty Of grass and forage crops the
change Of feed must be gradual IL
they are to escape arrangement of d.
geston and disordered stomachs.
1t means\a little more work to feed
supplemental feeds and old corn with
the new. but the advantages are so
great that the careful and intelligent
feeder will not neglect that which is
safest and promises the best results.
Hogs relish new corn and we are
many times tempted to feed them too
much at the start. At least one
months time should be taken to bring
hogs from pasture to a full feed Of
new corn.
1t requires more bushels Of new
corn to make the same gain that
sound corn will produce, hence it is
advantageous from both the stand
point Of health and profit to feed
some old corn while bringing the
hogs to a full feed of the new corn.
Some severe losses can be avoided by
the exercise of care and judgment

other small islands of the outer
Hebrides in northern Scotland, on
the Shetland Isles, and in Connemara
or northern Ireland. There has also
been found a close kinship between
the Celtic horse and the true Tarpan
horse of Russia.
The second type of horses is the
Prejevalsky, found In wild state on
the steppes Of central Asia. There
are few of these in England on the
estate of the duke of Bedford, and
several specimens are being bred in
the New York geological garoens.
The Prejevalsky horse is of a red
brown color with light "mealy"
nose, has large head in proportion
to his body, and is "cat hamed," and
less powerful than the Celtic horse.
Some writer's have assumed that the
Tarpan and the Prejevalsky horses
belong to the same family, but this
is not now accepted, on account of
their marked differences, the most
conspicuous of which is that the
Prejevalsky has the callosities on his
hind legs. In this family it usually
takes the form Of a narrow strip and
not drop-shaped as is common with
other horses. There has been sug-
gestion that this little horse only
