vERMIN CAUSE HOG DISEASES
No Animal Can Grow and Prosper u
Pestered With Insects-Dlsin-
feet Houses and Troughs.

II has been proved beyond question
of doubt that lice on hogs cause chol-
era and other diseases, the parasites
being carriers of disease germs. No
animals can grow and do we'll pes
tered with insects.
Il is practical economy to disinfect
hogs, their houses, troughs and feed
ing grounds frequently. 1t is means
of keeping the animals thrifty and OF
avoiding disease. Lime and coal tar
disinfectants should be used literally
and frequently wherever hogs stay OF
eat. There would be more and health
ier hogs if farmers generally would
purchase and use more lime and com
mon cheap disinfectants for their
hogs. A barrel of lime is cheaper and
better than dead hog.
The best way we have found OF
treating hogs for lice is to spray or
scrub them with kerosene or crude oil
every three or four weeks during the
year. says a writer in Farm Progress.
We use a wooden candy pail, placing
in 1t couple of gallons of warm
water, about a gallon of kerosene and
about half cake of strong laundry
soap. Soft soap is as good. or better
The mixture is stirred and sprinkled
over the hogs with an old broom
while they are eating good slop from
| troughs, when they will stand quietly
| for the treatment.

models are made of combinations of
white with the several fast shades of
blue, green, lavender and light brown
These are often combined with plain
fabric in solid color as in the dress
shown in the picture.
The house dress is to be cut in one
piece and loosely adjusted to the fig.
ure The sleeves are not to be longer
than three-quarter length and the skirt
should hardly reach the instep. The
pattern should provide for easy iron
ing and the dress should fasten at the
front or side-front. with buttons and
buttonholes. There are many different
designs to choose from, and they do
not vary greatly from year to year
for the house dress is not required to
! follow the fads of fashion.
1t is a good plan to shrink materials
and test them to see if colors are
stable, before making up. And the
house dress must be complete in it

belt but easily and quickly slipped or
and fastened.

To be neat and to be simple is the
province of the dress which is made to
be worn about the house for the daily
use of the housewife. The house dress
has its own devotees among design
srs, and their thought is spent upon
making it attractive and substantial
and entirely suited to the needs Of the
woman who busies herself with the
affairs of her housekeeping.
To be successful with the house
gown is to understand first how to Sc
lect the material for making it. This
must be a durable wash fabric in a
neat pattern and stable colorings. The
crispness and freshness of the newly

Then his attention became fixed on

an enormous turkey, and his mouth
watered as he saw the big helpings

But the carver, who did not know
much about little boys, cut off tiny

There are many different ways to
blanch celery. The following have beon
found to be the most practical:
Trench Method.-When the young
plants are set out. they are placed in
trench six or eight inches deep. AS
they grow. the dirt is gradually worked
in around them, care being taken not
to cover the leaves.
Banking Method.-Earth or clean
straw can be used for this. When
the plants get fairly large. the dirt
between the rows can be pulled UP
around the stalks. or straw can be
made to serve the same purpose. Dc
not use manure. as 1t is apt to fer
ment and injure the stalk.

are often used They are placed one
on each side of the row. and as neal

Just at the moment the Quaker col

are the most popular of all the dis
plays at the neckwear counter. For
decoration they confine themselves to
fine sprays of embroidery in floral pat
terms, or hemstitching. or edgings and
insertions of very narrow lingerie
laces.
But there are numbers of novelties,
less plain, about to make their entry
for the Christmas shoppers benefit.
Among them is the pretty set of plait-

to be worn with the simple one-piece

the advantage over the other method
in that they are easy to place when

Wrapping Paper.-Strong manila

clean.
Tie.-Four-inch drainage tile is
sometimes used. The tile is simply
slipped over the plant when it is seven
to ten inches high. The tile stands in
an upright position and affords good
protection to the stalks. This meth
cd is not as expensive as it may sound
because the tile can be used for many
years for this purpose.
