CRUDE petroleum
AS NANCE REMEDY
Hogs Afflicted Should Be Given
Thorough Treatment at In
tervals Of Eight Days.

(By 81. ii. REYNOLDS. Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station)
Treatment OF hogs for mango should
begin with a vigorous scrubbing with
brush, soap and soft water so as to
remove the crust. A veriety OF coal
tar dips are on the market Most OF
.hese are quite satisfactory II of suffi-
Client strength and warm enough
about 1l0 degrees, but do not boil.
The hog should be given a good
thorough soaking In the dip, net less
than two minutes. The hog must go
under head and all at least once.
Treatment must usually be repeated
one or more times at intervals Of
eight days. Treat the whole herd and
do It thoroughly
An effective dip can be made from
crude petroleum as follows: Four gal.
Ions crude oil, 16 gallons OF water and
one pound Of soap. The soap should
be dissolved in the water by heating.
An emulsion is then made by adding
the oil and thoroughly churning the
mixture. Water in different sections
differs very greatly in the way it will
combine with soap II this amount OF
soap does not give a good emulsion
simply add more soap, Avoid oily
dips in cold weather. While the hogs
are taking the dip, thoroughly clean
and then disinfect the pens. In case
of true mango the fence posts. trees
and everything against which the hogs
rub must also be disinfected. Use a
strong disinfectant and plenty OF IL.
After treatment do not put the hogs
back into loufy or NANCY pens.

MEAL
GOOD FOR HORSES
Satisfactory Results Secured by
Feeding at Rate Of One Pound
Per Head Daily.

In answer TO the inquiry. "Is cotton
seed meal good feed for horses?" Pro
lessor Foster OF the New Mexico ex-
pertinent station states that 1t is. when
fed in small quantities in combination
with other concentrates. A number
OF southern experiment stations and
horse owners report satisfactory re-
suits from feeding 1t to mares, colts,
and driving horses at the rate Of one
pound per head daily. mixed with
ground corn or other grain; and to
work horses eft the rate of two pounds
per head daily, fed In the same man
ner.
The Iowa station found that when
fed in connection with corn and oats.
IL pound OF cottonseed meal was
equal to Ii pound OF linseed oil meal
in maintaining the weight OF the
horses and enabling them to do work;
and that on account OF being less lax
atiye than the oil meal. II is better
adapted to the needs OF horses at hard
work. Because OF its high protein
content and its peculiar flavor. 1t gives
most satisfactory results and is eaten
with greater relish when fed In a mix
ture with some OF the grains, such as
corn, oats. milo or barley.
In localities where alfalfa is the
principal roughase, cottonseed meal
is not needed to properly balance the
ration for, farm horses. Any OF the
grains mentioned are sufficient. Its
value is more apparent where farmers
must rely mainly on timothy or prairie
hay OF some OF the coarse folders for
roughage.

TELLING THE AGE OF HORSES
Most Easily Determined by Cups In
the Teeth-Front Teeth Perma.
nent at Four Years.

The age OF horse is most easily
determined by the cups In the teeth.
At four years. the horse has his per.
manent front teeth. Al FIVE. there are
deep black cavities in the centers OF all
lower nippers, At SIX. these cavities
disappear in the two center lower nip
pers. Two more lose their cavities for
each year TO the eighth. and then the
two center upper nippers lose their
cavities. and each year two more, un.
Ill at the age of ten the teeth are all
smooth, OF retain only a small black
speck. After the age OF ten the length
of the teeth and tushes must be judged
even then the age can be determined
only approximately.

FRUIT GROWING AND
POULTRY COMBINED
Trees Offer Great Advantage in
Providing Shade and Insect
Food for Fowls.

The most important problem for the
digestion OF our orchard people is to
get more money out of their places.

ity OF these people taking up poultry

necessity OF considering this matter
