TIMELY HINTS OF sHEEPFoLD
Animals Should BE Provided With
Shelter From Fall RaIns--let
Lambs Run In cornfield.

Sheep need but little care during the
fall months. but they need that little
very much.
By all means provide shelter from
the fall rains. Do not compel them to
stay indoors, but give them shed so
they can get out of the rain when they
wish.
Have some bright hay in the shed
rack, so they can eat little without
going in sleet rain.
The sheep should have been dipped
after shearing in the spring. If any
ticks escaped destruction a dipping
this fall should surely be given. II
new sheep are bought dip before ado
ing to the old flock.
Sheep fatten better II sheared be-
fore being put on feed. Close con-
finement and a heavy fleece are against
rapid gains.
The field makes an ideal place fer
lambs to feed after the corn gets
cared out. They clean out the weeds.
eat enough down corn to keep fat
and are ready for market when their
task is done.
Keep the sheep pens and yards
clean Sheep manure heats rapidly
and filth is injurious to sheep, especial
iy to the feet.

bring swine from such places and put
them In healthy breeding herd.
II is an excellent plan to have a
quarantine pen some distance from
all other swine, and SO located that
there is practically no danger of
transmitting diseases to the herd. All
recently purchased animals should be
held in quarantine In such a pen for
ten days, to be certain that they are
free from disease, before placing them
in healthy herd
II a disease OF swine occurs in the
neighborhood, keep away from these
farms and do not allow anyone who
has been on an infected farm to visit
your herd. II your swine have access
to a stream of running water and
disease appears on farm located
above yours. on the same stream, re-
move your hogs at once, as the in
lection Is liable to be carried by the
stream. Dogs and buzzards, also, are
liable to carry the infection of hog
cholera and should be kept away II
possible. Such measures are simple,
but they are very important.
While few swine can be raised
confined in limited quarters, IL such
quarters are kept clean, they will do
better, win keep in better health and
can be grown more cheaply If they
have plenty of range for pasture. 1t
is desirable to have the pasture
fenced OF into suitable areas so that
the hogs can be shifted from one pas
ture to another, hot only to provide
fresh pasture, but also to afford an
opportunity to disinfect the pastures,
either by blowing and seeding to a
forage crop or by exposure to sun and
weather. Nearly all cases of intestinal
worms, which are rather common in
swine, are contracted from infected
ground, and swine can be kept free
from these parasites by frequent
changes Of pasture.

weed seed in the soil is fighting for
air enough and warmth enough to
sprout, and after it sprouts 1t will
fight for room enough to make its

life, and ii is the first few days that
count in the growth of alfalfa versus

On account of the danger from In

usually better to sow alfalfa in the
fall, or In late summer 1t will be
time and money saved to put in the
seed in the summer following of the
land, stirring the soil enough to keep
down each successive weed crop. The
soil stirring will not only get rid Of
the weeds that have come up, but
IL will stimulate the remaining seeds
that are lying in the soil to germina

disposed of and the ground left fairly

Difference in War Declarations.

There was great difference in the
manner of commencing war cen
turtles ago to what there is now. Now
the blow is frequently struck before
the word, and there is no obligation to
issue formal declaration at all 70

ton. But in medieval times no war
ever began without formal declara-

enemies, and departed in as digniaed
manner as he came.

SUCCESS WITH SWINE
Most important Factor Is Health
of the Animals.
Extraordinary Care Should Be Exer-
clsed In Purchasing Hogs TO See
That They Are Free From
Transmlssibie Diseases.
Rr n MAYo.N


In the successful raising Of swine
there are problems, other than that
of feeding, which often determine
success or failure. The most impor-
tant OF these is the preservation OF
the health of the swine. Wherever
considerable number of animals are
gathered together the risk from dis
ease is considerably increased. Extra
precautions must then be taken to
guard against disease and to keep the
animals In thrifty condition.
The first essential is that their
quarters be kept clean and sanitary.
In purchasing swine, care should be
taken that they come from herds free
from transmissible diseases, that they
are healthy, and have not been ex-
posed to disease In transit. Public
stockyards are liable to be infected
with hog cholera: 1t is dangerous TO

Consumers Pay as Much as Ever.

Mayor ,McClain, of Lancaster, who
lives in one of the richest agricul-
tural sections of the Unr,ed States
and one adapted to cattle raising states
that the importation of beef from Ar
gentina and Canada has helped the con-
sumner so slightly that the benefit is
scarcely perceptible. The major part
Of the advantage that has come from
the elimination OF the duty on cat
tie and meat goes to the exporter and
the importer They gobble up the ex-
ira profit. In the words of MIR.
McClain, ''Ghe consumer lis getting
about one-siXth OF the difference re-
presented by the decrease in Tariff
and 5he foreign pr l1ucer is getting
about five-s;xths of the same" Since
the duty Was only cent and a half
a pound on dressed meat, il Will
readily be seen how much better off
the consumer is by reason OF the re-
moval of the tax.
Mr. Mclain States further that the
importatiors are having a marked
effect upon the farmers and the breed
ers. to whom even small Inference
in the selling prices Of their cattle
means a great deal when the cost of
raising them is 30 high.
The consumer has experienced no
benefit. The cost of meat
is just about the same as it was be-
fore the Tariff was removed. Con-
gress was justified in taking off
the Tariff. Owing to the growing scar
city Of cattle there was no reason for
a tax. and there will be no excuse for
il until cattle raising in
the United States equals the demand
II that time ever comes. But it is in
tercsting to know that the Democrat
ic promise of a reduction in tie cost
Of meat has not been fulfilled. The
of the Tariff has not
brought about that much desired ben
.fit.-Wilkesbarre pal Record.
