WATER REQUIRED FOR SHEEP
Animals With 5ountiful Supply Pro-
duce More Mutton Than Those
That Are Deprived of It.

experiments carried on with cattle
showed that cattle given plenty of
water with their pasture contained
more moisture and less dry matter
than dld the carcasses of cattle given
pasture but no additional moisture.
IL is a generally accepted principle OF
feeding that il costs more and more
to produce meat as the moisture de-
creases and the dry matter Increases.
From this We are able TO deduce the
fact that it costs less TO grow the
steers that had plenty of water, and
so made watery carcasses, than it did
TO grow the steers that had no water
other than that in their food and re-
produced dry carcass
What is true in the case of steers
would hold equally true in the case
OF sheep, Sheep given plenty of water
will produce mutton more cheaply
than will those deprived of it. Muscle
expansion will be more active in the
one case than in the other. and that
is another reason why mutton pro
duction would be cheaper
There is considerable water in any
of the pasture crops that sheep eat.
and they get still more moisture from
the dew that collects on the grass
blades in early morning and late eve
ming; but from these two sources,
while it gets enough water to keep il
alive, a sheep still does not get
enough water TO keep it in the very
best growing condition nor to keep
all its bodily processes going on in
the most effective manner possible
There is not an organ in the body
that can function properly without
water to aid IT, Being one of the
chief constituents of blood, water is
carried to every part OF the system.
and not alone helps it in getting its
nourishment, but also in Kidding it of
its impurities. 1t is obvious that
large amount of water must be neces
sary to keep the sheep doing we'll
Enough is not gotten with the food
even in summex, and this amount
should be supplemented by all that
the sheep will drink when given con
slant access to it.

ERADICATE HOG LOUISE
Vigorous and Patient Treatment
Is Required.
BIood-Sucaing Parasites Cause Much
Irritation 81 Skin-In Dipping
CSeoline Is Better Than Lime
and Sulphur.
CBy n. s. MAYo1

The hog louise is common parasitic
pest on swine and one that requires
vigorous and patient treatment to
eradicate. The hog louise is one of
the largest of the lice that attacks
domestic animals. They are readily
seen travelling about on the bristles,
usually on the neck. back of the ears,
moving with peculiar sliding mo-
ton. The eggs or "nits' are small,
white, oval bodies attached to the
bristles. Hog lice may be found on
almost any part of the animals body.
but are most common about the neck,
ears and back of the elbow
These are blood-sucking parasites
and, by biting the hog and abstract
ing blood. they cause a good deal of
irritation of the skin. The animal
rubs on posts and other objects and
the coat looks rough and harsh. The
parasite and eggs are easily found
upon examination. The parasites are
transmitted from one animal to an
other by contact, or by contact with
infected bedding or quarters.
Dipping the animals three Or four
times at intervals of ten days will usu-
ally free them from these parasites,
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1913-04-22

provided the sleeping quarters are
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
In dipping to kill lice, the coal-tar
lips of the creoline type are better
han lime and sulphur. If the hog
wallows are kept we'll filled with wa
Ter, to which some of the creoline
lips are added every ten days, the
swine will usually free themselves
rom the lice. Another good way of
combating the parasites is to tie
gunnysacks or other coarse cloths
around rubbing posts and keep these
cloths saturated with crude petrole
I'm.
There are many cCal-tar dips" on
he market. They are made from the
products of the distillation of coal tar
and have a variety of trade names.
Creoline is one of these preparations.
With a strong coal-tar odor and when
mixed with water form a milky white
or slightly brownisn emulsion. We
have tried several kinds with ex-
,ellent results. Practically all drug
gists have these dips, but we would
advise using dip made by we'll
Known and reliable firm. These dips
should be used at the strength of
,ne part of the dip to forty or fifty
parts Of water If rain water is OBJ
.ainable it is preferred to ''hard'' wa
.er. These dips should be used warm.
There should be a dipping vat on
every hog farm. They may be made
IF wood, galvanized iron or cement.
They are set in the ground at con-
Eenient place so that there is good
surface drainage away from the vat.
good size for large vat is ten feet
ong on top, eight feet long on the bot
:om, and two feet wide on top. The
end where the hogs enter should be
perpendicular and the other end in
,lined, with cleats, so that the hogs
,an emerge after swimming through.
The entrance should be by a slide.
Such a tank is very useful wherever
hogs are kept in numbers, as frequent
Tipping tends to keep the hogs healthy
and free from parasites.

Tenant Farming Data.

The subject OF tenant farming is be-
ing studied by the bureau of plant in
dustry of the department of agricul-
ture with special reference to the con-
tract between owner and tenant.
Where tenants have assurance of long
tenure it has been found that they
frequently furnish at their own ex-
pense many of the permanent improve
ments, such as fences and farm build
ings and usually adopt a system of
farming that will maintain and often
improve soil fertility. Data now on
hand from a large number of tenant
farms is being analysed for the pur-
pose of finding the most satisfactory
division of the proceeds between
labor, working capital and investment
in real estate. This study has already
revealed certain general principles
that enable the bureau to offer yaIu-
able suggestions concerning the de
tails Of lease contracts.

A BOY INTERPRETER
A Young Massachusetts, Swede in Can
ada Twenty Years Ago Wants
to Return.

Twenty years ago, blond-haired
young Swede, boy of about 10 years
of age, accompanied a party of his
fellow-countrymen on the then long
trip to Western Canada as an inter
prefer. The party he accompanied To-
Gated at Wetaskiwin, Alberta, now one
of the most thriving and best settled
districts in Western Canada. For
three years he remained in the dis
tTict. Hornesickness took him back
to his home at Fitchburg, Mass, and
he has remained there for II years.
He has heard frequently from his
friends in the West. He has followed
their movements and watched their
progress. He has heard how the town
he helped to establish has risen from
shack to O. growing, thriving, brisk
business center, with the surrounding
country peopled, now by thousands
who are occupying the territory in
which he was one or the first to help
plant the colony of twenty or. twenty
FIVE. In his letter to al official of the
Department of the Interior, he says:
when / was up in Canada, Calgary
was a small town and so was Edmon-
ton, but understand they have grown
wonderfully since"
The young man when he went last
learned a machine trade, he has pat
ents and inventions but he wants to
go to Canada again And he likely
will. but when he does he will find a
greater change than he may expect.
Calgary and Edmonton are large
cities. showing marvellous and wonder
full growth Where but one line of
railway made a somewhat tortuous
and indefinite way across the plains
to its mountain pass, there are three
lines of railway dividing the trade OF
hundreds of thousands of farmers,
carrying freight to the hundreds
of towns and cities crossing and
criss-crossing the pTairies in all
directions, reaching out into new
settlements, and preceding districts to
be newly opened for incoming settlers.
He will not be able to secure a home
stead unless at considerable distance
from the town, the three dollar an
acre land is selling at from $15 to $35
an acre. He will find now what was
but theory then. that this land that
was then SO an acre is worth the $50
or $35 that may be asked for it, and a
good deal more. But he will find that
he can secure a homestead just as
good as any that were taken In his
day, and today worth $50 an acre, but
at some distance from line of rail
way, yet with a certainty of railway
in the near future, and he will find too
that he can still get land at SIS to $18
an acre that will in year or two be
worth $40 or $35 an acre. Mr.. Nose
son is talking to his countrymen about

GULL OUT UNDESIRABLE HENS
All Fowls That Have Passed Their
Term of Usefulness Should Be
Marketed at Once.

1t is always seasOnable to Gull out
the undesirable birds from a flock,
says the Poultry Journal All hens
that have passed their term of useful
ness should be marketed While Gull
ing should be continued throughout
the entire year, the most heroic work
should be done in the fall. What
we call yearlings in poultry are those
which were Matched the year before
the pullets. They are nearer two
years old than one, and make ex-
cellent breeders. After breeding pick
out of this flock such as are consider
ed improbable. What we call the
two-year olds are the ones that are
going into their second mott. Very
often some excellent layers are found
among these, and it pays to keep such,
but at that age the closer we Gull the
better will be our profits. This Gull
ing, however, can only be successful
by close watching. No matter how
valuable hen may be, if she proves
to be feather puller or an egg eater,
she, too, should be sent with the lot
of culls to market
