Cooperative Marketing Of Wool.


Serious losses are often suffered by
the flock master because OF improper
methods OF handling the clip. West
ern wool growers are paid lower
prices than foreign producers because
Of inaccurate grading. In recent
years they have made some ad-
vancement In clipping and assert
ing neeces as shown by cleaner
clips being offered for sale In
some localities. In the West some
Of the large sheep breeders associa-
tons have officially recommended
certain changes In the handling OF
wool by the growers. II Is estimated
that improper methods OF preparing
the wool for shipment cost the flock
master from one TO three cents a

Investigator

Scatter freshly-slacked lime about
hog houses and hog lots once a
week. Lime is one OF the cheapest
disinfectants and one Of the best ell
cments for your soil.
Provide clean, dry quarters for
your hogs. A good hog house does
not cost much.
DO not pasture your hogs by a
running stream. Hog cholera is
carried for miles by running water.
Garry out some Of the above hog
remedies.
For lice. use any Of the coal tar
dips or spray your hogs with an
emulsion Of crude oil or Kerosene.
Feed properly balanced rations.
Avoid all patent medicines. These
are worthless as remedies for hog
cholera.
DO not visit farms on which there
Is hog cholera and do not allow
strangers in your hog lots. Man is
responsible for % per cent Of the
outbreak ~ this disease.
Keep birds and dogs away from
your hog lots.
Do away with filthy hog wallows.
To provide pure stock water, put a
barrel Of lime or five pounds Of cop
peras in the pond.

il you feel in need Of further ad-
vice regarding the care Of hogs,

low doses. or improper application OF
the serum are all causes of failure.
Records kept on 10000 hogs show a
loss of less than two per cent when

three years.
Here are the facts in waging war
on hog cholera by the simultaneous
treatment:

gether with good virus. there is no
doubt that the serum simultaneous
treatment is a success.

will give good results on healthy hogs.
and better than nothing on sick ones.
1t must be remembered that hog chol-
era serum is a preventive, not a cure.
When serum is to be used, first get
all the pigs together In pen so
they may be caught easily. Too much
exercise before Injection is not good
for the animal
Injection may be on inner side OF

HELLEB0RE TO CHECK PESTS
currant Worms and Gooseberry sluss
Can Be Controlled by Applying
Mixture Early In Morning.

One of the best means to check the
ravages Of these pests is hellebore.
Mix one tablespoonful of hellebore
with FIVE tablespoonfuls of second
quality wheat -four; these should be
well mixed. When not wanted for
immediate use keep the mixture in a
tight can. Apply this mixture to the
bushes early in the morning when
the leaves are damp. Dust every
morning II needed.
Another method is to mix one
ounce of hellebore with one gallon OF
water and spray 1t over the bushes.
The worms are mostly found on the
under side Of the leaf.
In buying hellebore get the best and
freshest. Old hellebore has lost q
part of its strength and more must
be used to kill the worms.
Examine the bushes a few hours
after spraying and see II the worms
are on the leaves or not. II 80, then
make the material a little stronger.
Apply again and the worms can be
killed.
These little green slugs are great
eaters and will destroy all the leaves

MIX Scales and Babeoek Tester Es-
sentisl In Conducting Successful
DaIry-Diseard Boarders

Putting the efficiency test to cows
with the milk scales and the Bah
cock tester is one OF the essentials
OF conducting a successful dairy. When
feed is high in price farmer cannot
afford to have boarders in his dairy
barn who eat up more In feed than
their milk yield is worth. The Bah
cock test will show these delinquent
cows in their true light. and the milk
scales will put the clincher on the
argument. Testing cows will give
some farmers a big surprise. Some

est creature in the lot is the best

Cow testing associations among

mont to Ssl.ooo.ooo. Referring to this
fact the Corporation Counsel said:
Il communicated with the State
Board on April 4. 1914. requesting 10

Tho Law Department of the city
had the same question before the
Court Of Appeals in litigation Of the

pany. Without waiting for q decision
in this case the State Board voiun-
tarily eliminated the cost Of paving
from special franchise assessments
for 1914. In November last the
Court Of Appeals aflirmed that the
cost Of pavement must be included
IN the value Of the property.
