Senator Cores resolution foreshad-

excise tax on domestic sugar has gone

Sugar tariff discussion and legisla-
tion are being given much attention
in Washington now. Recently let
ter from Congressman w. p. Martin
OF louisiana, to Congressman Joseph
w. Fordney of Michigan, and the re-
ply, have attracted much attention.
Congressman Martin enclosed in
his letter an editorial from the New
Orleans Daily States and asked Ford
the Republican position on the sugar
tariff. The editorial declared that the
hope of the Louisiana sugar planters
lies alone with the Democratic party,
and that the Republicans will prob
ably harm the Louisiana planters. The
New Orleans paper had IL figured out
that the Republicans will try to re-
open the whole tariff question and II
unsuccessful Will do their best to beat
the suspension of the free-sugar
clause of the Wilson Underwood bill.
In reply to the letter and the edi-I

and mix the turpentine into this food.
 Up to the time pigs are two months old teaspoonful of turpentine twice a month, and the same amount of coal oil the following day, is about the right amount to give. After pigs weigh POO pounds they can take tablespoonful of these remedies.
 Lice bother pigs. Now you all know pig can't get very fat if it is annoyed by hundreds of these little pests.
 If I were feeding pig, 1 would feed pig. and 1 think l should object to lice eating off that pig.
 There isn't any need of pigs. or people, having lice. Keep the pigs clean. and sprinkle crude oil or coal oil around.
 Wrap a gunnysaek around q post where the pigs can rub against it, and nail it fast so it will stay in place. 0c- caSionally pour crude oil or coal oil over this sack.
 Lice breathe through the pores of the skin. The pigs will rub against the post. the lice will be covered with oil. the oil will stop up the pores and so kill the lice.
 Whitewashing the pens, cleaning out the sleeping places and furnishing them with fresh, dry bedding helps to keep pigs free from lice.

POULTRY FA&IS
COLD STORAGE IS EFFICIENT
Recommended by Expert of Kansas Agricultural College as Best Way
 of Keeping Eggs.

Cold storage is the best way to pre- serve eggs, in the opinion of F. E. Mussehl, instructor in poultry hus- bandry in the Kansas State Agricul- tural college.
 Many preparations are used for preserving eggs" says Mir. Mussehl, but none are as efficient as cold stor- age. Some persons use sodium sili- cate, commonly known as water glass, while others use lard or one of the many commercial preparations to pre- serve eggs.
 "These methods of storing eggs pre- vent decomposition by bacterial action, but do not stop enZyme action. The enZymes are always present in the egg and are active at ordinary tempera- lures. With good fresh eggs kept at the proper storage temperature -3l or 32 degrees hrenheit-enZyme ac- ton as we'll as bacterial action is pre- vented. Three months is Il long time to keep eggs at room temperature yet this is what the poultry department has done"
 In order to prove the superiority of infertile eggs over fertile ones in keep ing quality, Mir Mussehl kept dozen eggs in his office for three months. When examined at the end of the period they showed no signs of deeom- position other than a slight thinning of the white and yolk, and faint odOr These changes were due to the action of enzymes within the egg.

ERADICATION OF RED MITES
All Night Pests Fill Their Bodies With Blood From Fowls and Then
 Hide in Daytime.

The red mite is the worst enemy the poultryman has to contend with and the very hardest one to fight. This pest is very small and normally is grayish in color, but, more often, it presents a deep red color, be cause of the blood with which il is filled.
 Unless very numerous, the mites are seldom found on the hens. The pests work on the hens at night, filling their bodies with blood, and hide beneath the perches, and in cracks and crev- ices near the roasting quarters during the day
 Whitewash is not very effective in fighting the red mite. A better spray ing material is coal oil emulsion. This is made by dissolving half a bar of laundry soap in hot water and adding half a gallon of coal oil This mixture can be diluted with five gallons of water. The emulsion is best applied with q spraypump, for the reason that the pump will put the fluid in reached with brush.
 The job of spraying must be very thoroughly done. Some of the mites will likely escape the first spraying, and for this reason it is advisable to repeat the spraying in few days, and again in a week, to destroy the mites that hatch from eggs

INFERIOR HOGS FILL SPACE
mals Can Be Made to Take Place of Razorbacks.

The number of inferior hogs that still keeps coming to market is sur prising when We note the ease with which fairly decent if not high-class, animals can be made to take the place of them. One cross on a razorback with a good sire of the lard breeds produces q porker which is not a dis grace to its owner nor ashamSd of it. self Two or three crosses with n well-bred boar on very ordinary and in differently-bred sows result in shapely, quick growing hogs of considerable quality. They give account of the feed they eat and bring a price when sold But the weary-looking neutral greys with heads like the brow of q Vikings boat do nothing but fill space on the feeding floor. Too soft for bacon. too thin for packers, too wasty when killed, too expensive to keep.

ICOTTONSEED MEAL FOR COWS
Southern Scientist Finds Oil May Be Detected in Butter Within 12 to
 35 Hours After Fed.

A southern scientist has found that cottonseed oil may be detected in the butter made from cows fed cottonseed meal within 12 to 8 hours after first feeding. From the time of the first appearance the test for eettonseed oil became more pronounced, until the seventh day, when the influence of the oil appears to be at it's maximum. After two, four and six weeks con tinuous feeding of oil the effect is no more pronounced. in most cases even less than at the end of the first week When the oil is removed from the ra- tion it's effect apparently disappears within one or two weeks. The results would indicate that the oil is not transferred directly to the milk fat, but enters the milk fat only after it has undergone some change in the ani- nal body.

 Unsanitary conditions-dirty feeding places-may give pigs SCOUTS and cause them to cough. Keep the pig n clean quarters.
 Sometimes We say pigs are sorry looking" They do not seem to be do- ing we'll They dump around.
 Perhaps they are troubled with worms In the intestines. Worms are especially likely to occur when pigs are not well cared for Filthy yards, troughs and hog ''wallows," impure wa ter, and poor feeding favor worms.
 Pigs with worms become weak and poor. They have no strength, no Vi tality, and they sicken easily.
 A little turpentine once a month in their feed, followed the next day by the same amount of coal oil for q physic. will rid pigs of worms.
 Did you ever take turpentine? Is it good-tasting? Do you suppose the pigs like it?
 We may need to work some kind of q scheme i'll order to get pigs to eat it. Gan you think of anything to do?
 How would it do to let them go with out their feed over one feeding time, then fix up something which they like especially weIl-milk, bran mash or eornmeal. or something of that sort.

STARTING A FLOCK OF SHEEP
Purebred Ram Is Most Important Con- sideration-Wili Return Purchase
 Price Tenfold.

By far the most important considera- tion in starting flock of sheep is to get a good ram. Get as good ewes as can be had at the price you want to pay and the best ram of the desired breed that you can afford to buy. The kind of ram one uses at the start and on succeeding generations of the eve lambs dropped will be the kind of sheep that will be in the flock at the end of four or five years. Get good purebred ram at the start and use nothing but purebred rams of the same breed on the young ewes as they come along. It does not take long to grade up flock by this means Good rams return their purchase cost tenfold. Poor ones, grades or crossbred rams are dear at any money.

WAIT UNTIL COW FRESHENS
Not Advisable to Milk Three-Year-Old Heifer Before That Period,
 Says an Expert.

A dairyman wants to know if it is a good idea to milk three-year-old heif- CT before she freshenS. Prof. M L.. Fowler of Oklahoma A. and NJ. college says it is rarely necessary to milk d heifer before freshening.
 Tt sometimes happens" say Profes- sor Fowler, that the udder is caked and pains the COW, so that it is almost necessary to milk her little before she freshens. Try to avoid milking q heifer before freshening, if possible, as she will give more milk after fresh. ening than she would if milked before that time"

PLAN CROP ROTATION
Best and Cheapest Method of
 Soil Improvement Offered.
Suggestions Made by Expert of Florida Extension DiVision-Do Not Fail to Work in leeumes Wher-
 ever Possible.

Crop rotation offers the best and cheapest method of soil improvement. Single cropping depletes fertility and invites disaster through disease. The farmer should lay plans this fall for crop rotation which will cover q num- Der of years. C. K. McQuarrie, state agent for the University of Florida ex- tension division. offers two points which should be kept in mind in work ing out q rotation.
 Rotate so that no two crops of the same kind of roofing system follow each other. For example corn and oats have about the same feeding sys- tems and should not follow each other as rule. The second point is to fol low soil depicting crops, such as the grains, with legumes. Every system of rotation should contain legumes
 McQuarrie offers the following sug- gestions for trucking rotations: First year, watermelons, followed by velvet beans at the last working. Pasture the beans or cut them for hay. Use oats for cover crop. Second year, toma- toes, followed by sorghum for forage or silage Sow rye as q winter cover. Third year, eggplant. Yokahoma beans. Pick the beans and blow the vines un- der. Oats may be used as cover crop.
 For celery growers the following is offered: First year, celery, followed by beggarweed. Cut the beggarweed for hay and turn the stubble under. See end year. celery. cowpeas and Ger man millett. Cut the mixture for hay and turn the stubble under Third year, celery, corn and cowpeas. Plow under the vines and stubble.
 It may not be desirable to use the crops named in the rotations, but if substitutions are made they should be made from crops similar to those giv- en. Do not fail to work in legumes wherever possible.
