This is entirely wrong. A sac or
covering surrounds this white matter,
keeping it from going any further

,contagion is allowed to go down the
nose and spread to the whole head.

been prevented If the facts had been

cause proper measures Of procedure
are not known.
But, Of late years, a great work has
been accomplished along this line
through proper experiments and OBJ
servations. Careful examinations are
being made Of the affected trees and
shrubs and the life history of the
insects causing the injuries is being
studied deeply. This is in order that
authorities in control Of parks, boule-
wards and streets, and owners OF
lawns and other private premises may
become posted on the habits and char
acteristics Of the pests, and know
how to combat them.
Take, for instance. the elm tree

course, a difficult and expensive oper

cause great injury to these trees, are
less susceptible to ~arsenical poisons

and efficient method of protecting the
tree Is the preparation of adhesive
preparations, for trapping the insects
which creep up or down the trunk:

When the elm c%aterpillars are full

Silaee Too Bulky for Swine.

Swine raisers are advised against
feeding young swine extensively on
stlage, in a recent bulletin from the
Iowa station. 1t is too fbrous and
low in digestible nutrients to prove
satisfactory for growing and feath-
ing swine.
The hog has a digestive apparatus
suited largely to concentrated feeds.
Old sows will eat some silage: how
ever, If fed to them 1t should consti-
tute only a small portion of their
ration.

the tomatoes. They cannot be expect

Giving Hogs a Bath.

Kansas Agricultural College SAYS:
Few things retard the growth OF a

remedy for destroying the lice and

Dipping also keeps the skin OF TIA
