Great Damage Caused by the Chinch
Bug.
The department of agriculture states
that chinch bugs in 60 years have
probably caused a loss of $3.50 900 600
to the American farmers. The bugs
are more effectively destroyed during
the winter months than later when
they have left their winter quarters.
The burning of dry grass, leaves and
rubbish along the margin of woods and
fields is the best method Of destroying
the pest during winter weather.
The chinch bug is distributed gen
orally throughout the United States
except in the extreme West, and has
caused particular. damage to the staple
grains throughout the Middle west
The greatest losses from the insect
have been in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky,
North Carolina, Missouri, Iowa, WIS
consin, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska,
Oklahoma and Texas. The bug when
full grown is about one-fifth of an inch
in length. 1t is black with numerous
hairs. Pasturing sometimes aids in
the destruction of the bug. This is
particularly effective to the north
ward in the Middle west, when the
grass is green and matted or occurs
along hedge rows and rail fences so
that it cannot be burned. Leaving the
ground bare of vegetation permits the
bugs to be exposed to the winter
weather, which kills them 1t is often
possible to clear out hedge rows and
along rail fences, piling the refuse to
one side where it can be burned later.
1t is most advisable to get rid of the
bugs before they enter the young

Keep posted concerning the condi-
ton and health of hogs on your neigh
bors' farms, advises the department
Of agriculture. Sick hogs on neighbor
ing farms are a positive menace, for
the germs of hog cholera are easily
carried on the feet of men or animals.
Look over your herd regularly in or
der that any sick hogs may be prompt
Iy discovered.
If any hogs in the herd are found to
be off feed" or appear in anywise
sick, separate them Immediately from
the remainder of the herd, and keep
them and the main herd under close
observation daily. If there is ten
dency for the disease to spread in the
herd the trouble is probably hog chol-
era. This diagnosis may be confirmed
by killing one of the sick animals and
examining the organs in the manner
described in Farmers Bulletin $40 of
the department.
When the first symptoms of sick
ness are observed an immediate
change Of feed sometimes corrects
the trouble. This is particularly true
of swill fed hogs. If there is any
tendency for the disease to spread in
the herd do not temporize, but imme-
diately treat the herd with serum from
the state college or state live stock
sanitary board. Prompt administra-
ton of the serum is essential to sue
cess.
Remember that hog cholera kills
millions of hogs where other diseases
kill thousands. Dismiss from your
mind all thought of such diseases as
lung plague" infectious pneumonia"
pig typhoid" for these are generally
merely fanciful designations given to
hog cholera by uniformed men.

poultry flock. In fact, in some places
in this state they are called the watch
dogs of the poultry yard.
The high, shrill notes which they
possess will quickly put to fight any
hawk or crow mischief bent; while
after night no prowling animal or
person can approach a house where
guineas roost without arousing their
discordant cries of alarm. Their senses
of smell and hearing seem to be very
keen.
The time required for Matching
guinea eggs is twenty-eight days. The
guinea is naturally a wild bird pos
sessing a strong instinct to wander.
For this reason it is better to raise
the young birds under hens as they
are more careful Of their young than
the guinea hens, and great deal Of
trouble to get them to behave like
domestic fowls will be avoided and if
few chicks can be placed with the
brood when first taken off, so much
the better; the guineas will then be
inclined to stay along with the other
birds and will not be nearly so wild
as if kept alone.

TIME TO CUT SWEET CLOVER
Much Depends on Whether Crop 10 IN
First or Second Year-Avoid
Coarse and WooIly Stems.

The time to cut sweet clover for
hay will depend largely upon whether
the crop Is in it's first or second wear
Of growth. Generally speaking. only
one crop can be obtained the first
year, and this should not be cut until
the crown sprouts begin to show.
This cutting may be close, as the plant
will have sufficient time to obtain a
certain amount Of growth ere the cold
weather arrives and thus be able TO
Withstand the winter.
During the second year OF growth
two or three crops OF hay may be
obtained II the proper precautions are
exercised. The first cutting should be
made just previous to the time that
the plant begins to bloom and should
be done so as to leave few branches
and leaves on each plant. II cut close
at this time the majority Of the cut
plants will be killed. The second cut-
ting should be done in exactly the
same manner as the first, while the
third and last cutting may be made
close to the ground.
It is somewhat difficult to saw lust
when the second and third cuttings
should be made. owing to the varia-
ton In the plant growth, but as a
rule the crpp should be cut sufficiently
early in order to avoid coarse and
woody stems.
