WINTER GRAZING FOR SWINE
Rye Affords Excellent Crop for Hogs
HOMEGROWN Seed Is Recon-
mended for louisiana.

by w. r. DODSON. Director of Expert
ment Station. Louisiana State Univer-
sity)
Rye affords good winter grazing for
hogs, and may be sown from late
September to early December. South
ern-grown seed must be used. II
northern seeds are sown the leaves
will make a fat growth on the ground
during the early winter and afford
little grazing. The southern grown
half bushel per acre should be sown.
either broadcast or in drills. Some
prefer broadcast sowing with all
grains designed for winter pasture. No
definite experiments have been made
along this line in Louisiana. Oats,
rye md barley sown with a drill seem
to withstand cold weather better than
that sown broadcast. but broadcast
sowing seems to give a more complete
covering of soil in early winter.
Rye natures about a week or ten
days In advance of cats, other con-
ditions being equal. On the ex-
pertinent station grounds we prefer
oats to rye for winter pasture, but
there may be some conditions under
which rye would be preferred.
IL one cannot secure homegrown
seed, Georgia seed are to be preferred
It is very important that southern
grown seed be secured.

TO ORGANIZE FARMERS
ON CO. OPERATIVE BASIS
The National Convention on Market
ing Unanimously Adopts ResoIu-
tons for Much improvement.
Copyright

Chicago, II-Resolutions creating a
central committee TO organize the
farmers OF America into cooperative
societies covering every farm product
from poultry and garden truck TO
grain and live stock and operating i'll
every county and each OF the forty
eight States. were adopted unanl-
mously Thursday at the closing SEES
sion Of the National Conference on
Marketing and Farm Credits.
The adoption of these resolutions by
conference composed of delegates
from forty-five states was declared by
Chairman Frank l.. McVey, president
of the University of North Dakota, TO
be one of the largest cooperative
movements ever launched.
The purpose of the agricultural or
ganizatiOn society to be formed is de-
fined in the resolutions adopted as
follows:
ITO examine into the methods Of
production and distribution of farm
products with a view of evolving a
system of greater economy and EFF.
ficienct in handling and marketing
the same.
ITO encourage and promote the CO.
operative organization of farmers and
of those engaged in allied industries
for mutual help in the distribution,
storing and marketing of products.
ITO furnish instructors and lectur-
ers on the subject of cooperation
among farmers, auditing and account
ing. exports and legal advice on mat
ters relating to organization.
ITO issue reports, pamphlets and in
structions which will help in spread
ing knowledge of the best means of
rural betterment and organization.
ITO encourage and cooperate with
government departments, educational
institutions, societies, educational cen
ters, etc, in all efforts to solve the
questions of rural life, rural better
ment and agricultural finance and the
marketing and distribution of products
and the special application of the
facts and methods discovered to the
conditions existing among the farm
ers of America and to the solution of
the problem o. the increasing cost of
living.
ITO investigate the land conditions
and land tenure with a view to work
ing out better, more equitable and fair
er systems OF dealing with this prob
lem so vital to the social and the eco
nomic well-being of the country.
"T0 call, from time to time. such
conferences or conventions as will
help to carry out the aforementioned
objects"
The resolutions also provide for the
permanent organization of the nation

roots and leaves. should be got rid
of by burning or burying in order to
leave no shelter for wintering insects
and no diseased material for the
spread of fungous diseases. This is
work that must be done in the fall
and il cannot be neglected or the
farmer will pay dearly for his negii-
gence.
Weeds of all descriptions, especially
in fence corners and waste places.
should be cut down before going to
seed, or plowed under from time to
time; they harbor many of our worst
pests in summer and winter, and often
afford convenient breeding places for
enemies which the vegetable grower
is endeavoring to combat on his cul-
tivated plants.
There are a number of kinds OF
insects that are general feeders. not
limiting themselves to any particular
variety of plant, but attacking almost
everything that comes In their way.
On this account they are the most
serious insect foes that we have to
contend against and in many cases
the most difficult to keep under con-
troll. Among these are the aphids
(plant lice). cutworms. grasshoppers,
white grubs, wire worms, flea beetles.
and others. OF these we will describe
only the flea beetles.
There are several species OF these
minute insects which attack a large
variety Of plants; some conf1ne their
attentions to one or two kinds, while
others are general feeders. The
beetles are about one-tenth Of an inch
in length, oval and convex in form.
usually shiny black or bronzed in COL
or, sometimes ornamented with broad.
pale stripes along the back; they all
possess enormously developed thighs
on the hind legs, by means of which
they are enabled to jump with great
agility and hence have acquired the
name of flea beetles. They appear in
the spring. often in large numbers,
and eat small holes in the foliage Of
young plants, preferably the thick
seed leaves. The larvae, feed for the
most part on the roots of weeds. as
we'll as some garden vegetables. Clean

TO ERADICATE CATTLE TICKS

Ticks take as much as 200 pounds
Of blood a year from a 1-UO0.pound

fungi. These plants have no green
coloring matter and are entirely un-
able to manufacture their own food
All their nOurishment. therefore. must
be obtained from decaying animal or
vegetable remains or from living an
imals or plants. Those fungi which
derive their nOurishment from living
plants in so doing injure them in
various ways. md thus give rise to
what are known as fungus diseases.
Generally speaking. in combating
fungous diseases, methods of proven
ton only are practicable, as once
fungus is within a plant nothing can
be done to destroy it Care should
be taken to keep the crops in
healthy, growing condition and free
from injury by insects Unthrifty
plants and those attacked by insects
are more liable to fungous diseases
than healthy ones. Rotation of crops
should be practiced so that the winter
spores left in the soil may not infest
next seasons crop. Weeds should be-
destroyed. as they frequently harbor
fungi. Diseased crop refuse should be
burnt and not thrown on the manure
heap. Fresh manure should be avoid
ed as it frequently contains living
spores of parasitic fungi. Intelligent
and thorough spraying with bordeaux
or other fungicides will do much to
prevent the spread of fuHgous diseases

adopted for special campaign against
the cattle tick. Blazoned in big let
ters this legend will stand out in star
ting relief upon a two-colored poster
which the department proposes to dis
play in every post Office in the tick-in-
tested country.
1T costs less than so cents a head
to dip the cattle of a county and free
that county from quarantine" Mr.
Vrooman said, and enable its cattle
to compete with free cattle at the
stockyards But before the ticks can
in that county, by themselves or with
the aid of the state, must build dip
ping watts which cost from $50 to 800
each, and must supply arsenic, which
costs about five cents per head, to
make the arsenical bath that kills the
ticks. The people must then join in
seeing that every steer or COW is
dipped a sufficient number of times
to kill all the ticks infesting the cat
tie, and prevent the seed ticks in the
grass from finding a new boarding
house."
The department will cooperate with
a county that is ready to dip ticks by
sending it's expert field men to super
wise the building of watts, to prepare
the arsenical bath and to take charge
of the dipping of cattle. The people
of county and state, however. have
to provide the small amount of money
necessary for the actual dipping.

FEEDING COTTONSEED CAKE
One of Best Feeds Available for Bal
ancinu Corn autobiography
Used for Fattening.

CBy CHARLES I. BRAY. Colorado Agri-
cultural College. Fort Collins ColoD
Cottonseed cake is one OF the best
feeds available for balancing a corn
ration or for supplementing such feeds
as native hay. corn silage. corn fod-
der, cane hay or Sudan grass hay. II
is used frequently in winteTing cattle
on the range, also for fattening cattle
on grass in summer. Being a rich
feed and comparatively expensive, it
is fed in relatively small amounts,
ranging from one to three pounds
head per day. Cottonseed meal or
cake fed heavily for long periods NAV
be productive of serious trouble
among cattle, causing blindness and
loss of muscular control. By heavy
feeding, we mean six pounds or more
a day. amounts which no modern feed
er is likely to give. Fed at a rate OF
three pounds a day or less. there is
no likelihood of trouble. II cattle
need more grain feed than this
amount, it is advisable to use such
feeds as barley or kafir. that are OF
a more fattening nature.
When alfalfa is available. there is
not so much need for cottonseed cake.
as the alfalfa supplies practically the
same nutrients. Five parts corn or
barley to one part cottonseed cake
or meal makes a very good grain mix
ture to go with alfalfa hay and corn
silage.

PROPER SHELTER FOR SHEEP
impossible to Keep Animals Fleece
Dry If Not Given Some Protection
During the Winter.

It was formerly quite generally
thought that the sleeps wool afforded
it all the protection necessary during
the winter. If the fleece could be kept
dry it probably would retain enough
body heat to keep the sheep warm,
but this is impossible without shelter.
When a fleece once becomes wet it
takes a long time for it to dry out,
especially if the weather is cold.
Much energy that would otherwise
be used for growth or fattening must
be used for evaporating this water.
The wet fleece also gives rise to I'M
healthy conditions.
In Great Britain little housing is
necessary, but in most places in Amer
lea this would result in severe losses.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat if You Feel eackachy
or Have Bladder TroubIe-Take :.
Glass OF Salts.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which excites the kidneys, they
become overworked from the strain,
get sluggish and fail to filter the
waste and poisons from the blood. then
we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism
headaches, liver trouble nervousness,
dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary
disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive full of
sediment, irregular OF passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast. and in few days
your kidneys will act fine. This ia
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tons to flush and stimulate the kid
neys, also to neutralize the acids in
urine SO it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful efferves-
cent litha- water drink which every
one should take now and then to keep
the kidneys clean and active, and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious
kidney complications Adv.
