waiting for the moment when Germany has shot her bolt
in his estimation Is it against this hour that he has
assembled and trained army of more than 900
men, who have for months for the most part been main

accidents that frequent consequence and the

The very fact that along the main highways of the
country the quoted prices for gasoline vary widely

ton of the difference in quality. When the ordinary
motorst looks for gasoline he must shave it, and usually

SAVE ALL OF GOOD
BREEDING ANIMALS
Desirable Pigs, Lambs, Calves
and Colts Should Receive
Best of Attention.

The Importance of saving all of the
breeding animals that would make de-
sirable sires and dams will certainly
be apparent to those who think of the
subject seriously. There seems to be
strong demand for breeding animals
to place at the head of herds. Many
who have never given animals place
On their farms are now beginning
herds or wish to get breeding stock
for the purpose of making a beginning
with animals. Let every man who has
desirable pigs, lambs, calves and colts
take care of the animals SO they may
be of use to the people who need
them.
The man who raises breeding stock
for those who need them deserves
credit. He is making it possible for
his neighbors to raise better stock.
BY his diligence in breeding live stock
he helps his neighbors and is making
it possible for farms to produce more
wealth.
Every breeder who has animals that
are desirable for breeders owes it to
his neighbors and friends as well as
to the country to advertise his animals
so others who need breeding stock
may buy. Poor animals should not be
used and it is useless to advertise
them. Successful breeders recognize
this and Gull out the undesirable and
offer only those that are valuable for
breeders. Every registered animal is
not suitable for breeding stock. Many
are not. These undesirables should be
slaughtered. 1t takes more than regis
tration papers to make a desirable
sire or dam. The animals must have
type and conformation, with pure
blood.-Farm and Ranch.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1915-09-10
GOOD POINTS in MAKEUP OF BROOD sow

weaned the sows should be culled and
those that are cross or nervous or
have produced small filters or are
inclined to be poor suckers, should
be discarded.
Good sows improve for several
years in the number and size of the
pigs they have at litter. The United
States department of agriculture com
piled the records of over six thousand
sows and found yearling sows aver
aged 6.65 pigs per litter, and five-year-
old sows averaged S.4 pigs per litter.
At the Wisconsin experiment station
the year-old sows averaged rs pigs
per litter, with an average weight per
litter of 14.2 pounds, while sows from
-FOUR to five years old averaged nine
pigs per litter with an average weight
per litter of &c pounds. The common
practice of farmers selling their old
brood sows each year and reserving
immature ones for breeding is a bad
practice, as the older sows are much
better mothers and their pigs have
strong advantage in greater vitality
at the start.
One OF the most profitable sows the
writer ever handled had a choice Lit,
Ter when she was nine years old.

SHEEP PARASITES
ARE TROUBLESOME
ScraWny, Unthrifty Animals viii
UusualIy Be Found Suffer-
ing With Worms.

Next to dogs internal parasites are
the greatest detriment to the farm
sheep business. The trouble seems
to be aggravated by pasturing sheer
year after year on the same ground
The best cure is prevention and the
practical way of prevention is chang
ing pastures as frequently as possible
Scrawny, unthrifty lambs will usual
ly be found suffering from intestinal
worms, providing, of course, feed con
ditions are such that they normally
should be in good shape. Gasoline is
the best treatment.
Mix we'll one-quarter ounce gasoline
in three ounces sweet milk and drench
each lamb for three mornings in sue
cession. Before the first treatment
put them in a pen and give them no
feed nor water for IS hours. Repeat
the treatment again in three weeks.
Be careful not to let the lamb strangle
and draw the mixture into the lungs.
