record al the opening OF the stock mar
ket today. Passing Of the dividend yes
terday caused excited trading and on a
block OF 5000 shares the price fell 4st
points. II then recovered TO 69i5.
A crowd of brokers clustered about
the New Haven trading post on the
floor Of the exchange long before the
opening. When the gong sounded the
beginning Of business, the rush to sell
resulted in such confusion that II was
several minutes before any record could
be obtained Of the first transaction.
Then the opening was announced as 5000
shares at seh to IS. Not for years had
such a large block Of New Haven ap-
peared on the ticker tape. The stock
closed yesterday at 72k.
Effort at support Fails.
Trading was on a smaller scale after
the opening, transactions being chiefly
In blocks Of 100 to 300 shares. An effort
was made TO support the stock on the

Selling OF New Haven continued
through the morning and the price fell

provided the sleeping quarters are
thoroughly cleaned and ~disinfected.
In dipping to kill lice, the coal-tar
dips of the ~creoline type are better
than lime and sulphur. If the hog
wallows are kept we'll filled with wa
ter, to which some of the creoline
dips are added every ten days, the
swine will usually free themselves
from the lice. Another good way of
combating the parasites is to tie
gu~nnysacks or other coarse cloths
around rubbing posts and keep these
cloths saturated with crude petro1e-
UNI.
There are many ~coal-tar dips on
the 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.
They are all d~ark-colored liquids
with a strong c~oal-tar odor and when
mixed with water form a milky white
or slightly brownish emulsion. We
have tried several kinds with ex-
cellent resalts. Practically all drug
gists have these dips, but we would
advise using a dip made by a we'll
known and reliable firm. These dips
should be used at the strength of
one part of the dip to forty or fifty
parts of water. If rain water is OBJ
tainable it is preferred to hard wa
ter. These dips should be used warm.
There should be a dipping vat on
every hog farm. They may be made
of wood, galvanized iron or cement.
They are set in the ground at a con-
venient place so that there is good
surface drainage away from the vat.
A good size for a large vat is ten feet
long on top, eight feet long on the bot
tom, and two feet wide on top. The
end where the hogs enter should be
perpendicular and the other end in
clined, with cleats, so that the hogs
can 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
dipping tends to keep the hogs healthy
and free from parasites.

ERADICATE HOG LOUISE
Vigorous and Patient Treatment
Is Required.
Blood-Sue%ing Parasites Cause Much
Irritation of Skin-In Dipping
CreoIine Is Better Than Lime
and Sulphur.
CRv n. s MAYON

The hog louise is a common parasitic
pest on swine and one that requires
vigorous and patient treatment to
eradicate. The hog louise is II of
the largest of the lice hat attacks
domestic animals. They are readily
seen travelling about on the bristles,
usually on the neck, back of the ears,
moving with a peculiar sliding mo-
ton. The eggs Of "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,

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 hat 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 valu-
able suggestions concerning the de-
tails of lease contracts.

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 y%earlings 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 1t pays to keep such,
but at that age the closer we Gull the
better will be our profits. This Gull
ing, however, car only be successful
by close watching. No matter how
valuable a hen may be, if she proves
to be a feather puller or an egg eater.
she, too, should be sen with the lot
of culls to market.

WORE BLUE AT THE ALTAR
Charming Costume in Which Widow
Took New Matrimonial Vows at
Recent Wedding.


Not long ago there was much re-
6triction of color about the bridal
dress of a widow, but this waning year
has seen many changes in that re-
spect. A very handsome and charm
ing widow bride wore palest blue, with
hat to match, and many plumes of the
same soft tint. Another wore gold
color, and looked fascinating with a
silk embroidered tunic to match it in
hue. Her black velvet hat was crown
ed with gold and yellow feathers. A
short while ago the widow of a we'll
known man wore maize color on
the occasion Of her second mar
riage.
h gown was charmeuse, the long
trained skirt bordered with dark
brown fur, and some beautiful an
tique Brussels lace trimmed the cor
sage and formed sash ends. To COM
plete the harmony Of the toilet the
brown velvet hat exactly matched her
sable stole. There is really nc rea-
son that the bridal toilet of widows
should not show almost any color, ex-
cent perhaps white and very light
I'M. and, of course, black.
