PREVENTION OF HEAD
CRUbS IN SHEEP

There occurs about this time of the
year a trouble of sheep which is not
understood by all shepherds, writes
DR.. A. s.. Alexander in the Farm
Journal. 1t is characterized by a dis
charge from one or both nostrils, but
usually from and by persistent
sneezing. In bad cases after these
symptoms appear. others Ut II more
serious character follow. For instance,
some OF the sheep will appear to be
dizzy, and that is really the case. for
both discharge and dizziness are due
to irritation produced by large grubs
present in the nOstrils and sinuses Of
the head.
The grubs are the larvae Of the sheep
gadfly (Oestrus ovis) and are deposited
In the shape Of small larvae during the
months Of June and July. The fly de.
posits the larvae directly in the nos
6ils, and they at once proceed to make
their way upward by means of the two
hooks with which they are furnished,
aided by sundry bristle-like hairs
which protrude from their segments.
Some of the grubs are promptly
sneezed out, and the fact that sneezing
- sometimes followed by expulsion
partly explains why sheep sneeze sc
much at this time Of the year. But
some of the sneezing is doubtless due
to the irritation caused by the dis
charges of the grubs. Occasionally ;
few grubs get as far as the superior
maxillary sinuses Of the head. but aft

FLAX STRAW VALUABLE ASSET
CONTINUED from page ~

Under present conditions, however,
the department of agriculture consid-
ers it advisable to warn farmers that
careful investigation does not reveal
a demand for domestic flax straw as
great as the promoters Of certain
schemes have represented it to be.
For this reason, flax growers should
be careful not to engage in an en-
terprise which might leave on their
hands large quantities of unmarked
able produce.
On the other hand, it seems obvious
that the most advantageous method
of assembling the material for mar
ket is to establish a number of small
tow mills throughout the flax region,
and it is suggested that farmers may
find it advisable to act comparatively
in this matter. For example, growers
within a five-mile radius might op-
crate a tow mill of sufficient capac-
ity to handle the entire amount of
straw within their area. Under this
arrangement it should be possible for
the farmer to market the tow at a
price which would yield him a fair
return for the straw that is now per-
mitted to go to waste and would at
the same time, be an inducement for
manufacturers to utilize the domestic
rather than the imported article.

Poor sheep are always a burden

VALUE OF MANURE.

The high prices of potash and acid
phosphate at this time are causing
much concern among farmers who de-
pend upon commercial fertilizers to
supply these constituents for the sue
cessful production of their crops,
states bulletin issued by the federal
department of agriculture, and it con-
tiDues: If the farmers of this coun-
try had always fully appreciated the
true value of farm manure, and used
it on their land, the present situation
would be much less acute The an
nual loss of fertilizing materials is
enormous in this country through
careless handling of manure. This
loss can be easily prevented in a large
measure by proper methods of han
ding. While many farmers are get
ting the moist from the manure pro-
duced on their farms, yet many could
well exemplify the European farmer
in this matter, who saves carefully and
utilities every pound of manure avail
able. The farmer who feeds as much
live stock as possible may figure that
he is receiving a double remuneration
from his crops: First, from the mar
keting of feeds through live stock;
and. second, from the fertilizing SUBJ
stances which are left in the manure.
Practically all of the nitrogen, phos-
phorus and potash which is in the
feeds is recovered in the manure
from live stock. All landowners.

THE BEARS PEACE PLANS.

Russia, too, is indulging in little
peace talk. She won't consider peace
until she is assured possession of Con-
stantinople and the Dardanelles, and
divers chunks of rich and fruitful
land, such as Galicia, Bukowina, Ar
menia and northern Persia. In other
words, Russia appears to appreciate
the fact that her allie; woAld have
been beaten to a pulp long ago had it
not been for the fighting she has done
and the hckiDgs she has taken, and
she proposes to get adequate compen-
sation for her services. And the Rus
sian attitude indicates that one of the
most difficult tasks incident to the
war will be the arrangement of peace
terms among the Entente Allies them
selves. OF course, this is all on the the
DRY that the Allies win the war.
Should the Teutons win, Germany will
dictate the peace terms, but Germany
seems to be figuring these days that
the best she can get out of the war is
a draw. And draw and the peace
terms that might come out of it would
come far from placating Russia.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1916-04-05

farmers and tilIers of the soil should
always be kcenly conscious of this
fact, and employ methods of manage
ment accordingly. Aside from the
fertilizing elements contained in ma
nure, it has beneficial mechanical eff
fects upon practically all soils. When
properly applied, manure improves the
physical condition of the soil by in
creasing it's water-hofding capacity,
aeration, and temperature. While the
soluble portion of the manure is at
once available for plant use, other
plant foods are released as decompo-
sition continues for two or more years.
This latter process assists materially
the potash and phosphoric acid which
are already present in the soil, but in
unavailable forms. When the farm
ers of our country thoroughly appre-
ciate the actual amounts of fertilizing
constituents which are contained in
farm manures, and inrelligently care
for and utilize the manure produced
on their farms, they can save millions
of dollars in fertilizer purchases; and
the necessity of depending upon the
purchase of these fertilizers, followed
by the occurrences of crises in the fer
tilizer situation such as now exists in
some sections, will be largely de-
creased.
