LOOKOUT FOR BUNDLE FOOT
often Caused by Fowl AIiqhting on
Hard Floor From High Perch
Furnish Ample Litter.

Bundle foot is caused by a bruise
on the foot resulting often by fowl
alighting on a cement or other hard
floor without straw from a high perch.
This results in the formation of pus.
which, if not freed by lancing, will
continue to grow until it is a hard
cheesy mass under the skin. Fowls
thus afflicted, often die as the result
of negligence.
AS remedy. first try to remove the
cause by having the floor well lit
tered and the perches lowered. or
construct ladders from them so the
fowls may walk down
If the enlarged foot is lanced when
first noticed and the pus removed the
foot may become well, but If allowed
to go until it reaches the hard stage
an incision can be made through the
skin and the humble removed easily.

TREATMENT FOR HOG VERMlN
Wise to Have Dipping Tank and Use
1t on All Stock, Whether They
Need 1t or Not.
Lice on hogs are treated:

Lice on hogs are treated
BY getting the animal in a corner
and scrubbing him with an old broom
dipped in crude oil.
By pouring kerosene on his back
with a can (this kills the lice and
often pretty near kills the porker).
By hanging blanket saturated with
crude oil in gap through which the
hogs must pass, thus oiling them auto
matically.
By setting up a manufactured de.
vice which gives the animals an oiled
surface against which to rub.
BY providing hog wallow in which
little crude oil is poured
BY dipping them in a dipping tank
filled with preparation sold for the
purpose.
You may choose to let the pigs and
the lice fight it out. In this case, you
may be sure, the hogs will get the
worst of it. The stock farm on which
wisdom reigns has a dipping tank in
which all the stock are dipped.

eminent issue tending to break up the
solidarity of capitalist politics is this
one. 1t is popularity supposed to be a
moral issue but every Socialist should
be able to point out to his temperance
advocate shopmate or neighbor that it
has an economic handspring, with
one set of business men seeking the
destruction of another set and employ
ing-capitalists seeking more efficient
slaves, and that the workers cannot
afford to split themselves and be di-
verted from their more important con-
Germs. Already a movement is on
foot to pledge million votes to sup
port only advocates Of nation wide
prohibition, fact calculated to prove
peculiarly aggrayating to political
manipulators and afford the straight

or municipal ownership simply
means the final incorporation of the
capitalist class as the ruling class,
continuing the wage system of the
slavery of those who work. A mo-

the rent and transportation problems
the chief obstacles in the way of the
expansion of his own interests. That
should be sufficient for Socialists and
