MORE ATTENTION IS
NECESSARY FOR HOGS
Better Care Than in Spring Need
ed During Autumn to Offset
Seasonal Conditions.
(By e. r. SPENCE, Missouri Agricul-
tural Experiment StaUon)

CBy e. r. SPENCE Missouri Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.)
Hogs are not as resistant to disease
at this season of the year as they are
in the spring, when getting an abun-
dance of green forage, and having ac-
cess to a wide range. 1t is necessary,
therefore, to give them more attention
and better care to offset seasonal con-
ditions and danger from new corn.
Do not feed in the same lot, or on
the same acre of ground, day after day.
This contaminates the feeding places,
and also attracts crows, pigeons, and
sparrows, which may have been feed
ing with a cholera-infected herd.
Throw the feed out in different spot
each day, thus giving the pigs clean
''plate" from which to eat.
The water supply is of much i'm
portance to the health of the hogs at
this time of year. Old mud wallows
are never good, but are not so bad If
the hogs can have pure water to drink,
but If forced to bathe and drink in the
same tub" serious trouble can be ex-
pected at any time. See that they have
an abundance of pure water to drink,
situated near the wallow holes or feed
ing places. Pure water will aid mate
rally in keeping the herd cholera-free.

CHOOSING SITE FOR
STORAGE OF CABBAGE.
Select WeII-Drained Ridge of the
Most GraveIIy SoiI-PuIl Up
by Roots.

In choosing a site for a storage pit
for cabbage, select a ridge, well drained
and as gravelly soil as possible. The
pit should be six to ten inches deep,
the length and width depending upon
the amount to be stored. 1t is well to
have it wide enough to accommodate
three to five heads on the bottom row.
In harvesting the heads, pull up by
the roots. Break off only the dead or
diseased leaves, and fold the remain
ing leaves over the head as much as
possible to protect them. Overripe or
cracked heads should not be stored.
The cabbage is placed in the pit with
the heads down and roots up. The
second layer is also placed heads down
between the roots of the first layer.
1t is well not to have more than two
layers, on account of the weight hav-
ing a tendency to crush the lower
layer.
When the cabbages are put in place
they are covered with q layer of
earth. When cold weather, comes,
straw OF manure can be added.
Cabbages can often be kept better
in pits than in common cellars.

TEN DAIRY REASONS
OFFERED BY EXPERT
Dairyman Assured Of Neat and
Regular Income From Sale
of Milk and Stock.

Prof. George G. Humphrey Of the
University of Wisconsin, gives the fol-
lowing ten reasons for dairy:
It enables the dairymen to antici-
pate and receive a neat and regular
income from the sale Of milk.
The sale of surplus young stock and
cows, furnishes an income in addition
to the income for milk, that adds to
the profit materially.
It provides a home market and pays
higher prices for farm crops than are
ordinarily paid at commercial centers.
1t utilizes grass and various kinds
of feed that have no market value ex-
cept as they are converted into milk
or other saleable products.
1t provides a means of employing
labor regularly and prohtably at all
seasons Of the year.
1t makes the farm permanently pro-
ductive BY the utilization Of feeds on

shallow points at one end. For the

the farm and the use Of farm ma

The regular income from the sale
of dairy products and stock enables
the farmer to keep up permanent i'm
provements and to take pride in the
possession of farm home.
Dairying offers one great oppor-
tunity for becoming thorough busi-
ness manager and enjoying the game
of trying TO make everything pay.
1t produces human food for which
there is no substitute and for which
there will always be constant de-
mand and an opportunity to supply at
reasonable prices.
1t offers a most suitable environ
ment for the development of high
standards of living both for a family
and community.

Larkspur is only exceeded by the
loco plant as a destroyer of life among
domestic herbivorous animals, it has
been found by an exhaustive study con-
Quoted by the U. S. department of ag-
riculture. The losses from larkspur
have been reported from all regions
between Mexico and Canada, Rocky
Mountains and Pacific coast. Cattle
suffer most from this poisoning, re-
cent experiments having proved that
sheep can eat larkspur without danger,
while horses do not seem to relish the
plants and so seldom are injured. Any
animal, to be injured by larkspur, re-
cent experiments of the department
showed, must consume a quantity of
the weeds equal to at least per cent
Of it's weight.
In the opinion of the investigators,
the fact that sheep are apparently able
to feed upon larkspurs> with entire i'm
punity may be utilized in some cases
to protect the cattle. Where larksppr
Is especially abundant, it is desirable
to use the range for sheep rather than
for cattle or to combine sheep grazing
and cattle grazing in such manner
that the areas infested with larkspur
shall be first eaten down by the sheep.
On comparatively limited areas it may
be possible to dig up the tall larkspur,
but this is frequently too costly a
measure to be adopted and, further
more, 1t is rarely possible to eradicate
completely the poisonous weed.

great groups of larkspurs-the tall and
the low. The low disappear from the
range early in July and cases of poi
soning from them are usually confined
to the months of May and June. The
tall larkspurs live through the summer
season. making their first appearance
in early spring. This is the time in
which they are the most poisonous. At
ter blossoming, their poisonous char
acter appears to diminish. Ultimately.
it disappears and the plant dries up
although the seeds remain poisonous.
In Colorado, most of the cases of poi

May and June, with sporadic cases in
July. In other localities, however, the
larkspurs fOsSom later and poisoning
may occur as late as August or even
September. Rare cases have been re-

To be Heavy De-
mand for Feeders

Early crop conditions through.
out Nebraska and neighborine
states has, dnring the past two
weeks, taken a decided change for
the better. With the advent of
hot weather and good, steady
rains at the proper intervals, the
corn crop, at this date, could not
be better or more promising of
one of the greatest yields in the
corn belt. Pastures, at this time,
are in the finest shape, with every
indication of an abundance of fall
feed. Alfalfa producing sections
of Nebraska, as well rs surround
ing states, report the first cutting
as the best yet cut for a number
of years, both as to quantity and
quality, and the second cutting
which is now in progress bids fair
to outclass all previous second
cuttings.
This, together with the enor-
nous amount of prairie hay being
made this year, and the practical
of the largest grain
crop in the history of the corn
belt states, all indicate that there
will be the heaviest demand in
many years for cattle feeders and
sheep. At this early date the
prospects for more than an ample
supply of feed on the farms of the
corn growing states, coupled with
a general scarcity of feeding stock
in those sections, has created a
steady upward trend in prices on
the South Omaha market for feed
er cattle and sheep.-From the

Danger From
Forest Fires

The danger from forest fires in
the mountains of Colorado and
southern Wyoming is greater at
this time than it has been for
years. Although the forest SER
vice has expended approximately
$1,000 to extinguish fires in this
territory during the past month
and the General Land Office and
some of the counties have expend-
ed large sums, a great deal of
damage has been done to the for
ests.
The growing value of the for
ests for recreation, watershed pro-
lection, and commercial uses make
1t Imperative that every good citi-
zen lend his assistance in protect
ing the forests. Those who go
into the mountains can help by
being careful. Whoever discov-
ers a fire can help by reporting it
promptly to the nearest officer.
A new fre-6ghting tool has
been invented by a forest ranger
in California which consists of an
interchangeable hoe and rake. 1t
is said to be the best tool of the
sort yet devised.
In parts of the West the forest
service is cooperating with the
Weather Bureau in distributing
weather forecasts to the settlers.
By the use of forest service tele-
phones many isolated sections are
reached which could not other
wise receive the reports. Sheep
men owning bands of lambing
ewes will be particularly benefited
as the warnings enable them to
get their sheep under shelter and
avoid the losses sometimes caused
by late spring rains.
