PARASITE IS CAUSE
 OF NANCE IN HOGS
lmbeds Self in Region of Hair Enthusiastically Transmitted
 to Other Animals.

(By H. s. EAKINS. Colorado Agricultur- al College. Fort Collins Colo)
 We hear much about mango in horses and cattle, and scab in sheep, but mango in hogs is not at all un- common. The parasite that causes mange in hogs is microscopic in size and looks something like an oat grain It imbeds in the region of the hair follicles, especially around the snout, eyes and forelegs, causing the forma- tion of small pustules. The skin be- comes thickened and rough. Where a hog is much affected the carcass should be condemned for food.
 This kind of mango is readily trans mitted to other hogs and treatment is difficult. Since there are some who believe hog cholera may be trans mitted by these and other external parasites. such as lice, it is well to keep lookout for hog mango.

IMPORTANCE OF PURE WATER
Essential That Supply for Cows Be of Mild Temperature, Especially in
 Cold Weather.

A large amount of water is needed by the average dairy COW for the up- keep of bodily functions. In addition to this, much more Is needed in the production of milk as the latter con- tains S7 per cent of water. Practical dairymen have found that it is a good policy to provide the COW with plenty of good, clean water That flowing through muddy ditch Is not suited for dairy COW.
 It is also important that the water be of mild temperature, especially in cold weather. Ice water taken into the stomach of the COW causes a shock to the system that Is not conducive to high milk production. The tempering of this cold water in the COW uses some of the energy that might be ap- piled to other purposes. In the win ter, freshly pumped water is much bet ter than the cold water in the tank. Tank heaters aid in overcoming this trouble. A COW will drink a much larger quantity of warm water in the wintertime than of ice water.

DAIRY
COST OF KEEPING A METER
About the Surest Way to Avoid Any Possible Error Is to Keep Con-
 plete Set of Accounts.

We sometimes get the impression that the cost of keeping horse or a COW is determined by the amount of feed consumed, plus the amount of labor expended, and possibly an in- terest charge. The government has published figures on the cost of rais- ing, from birth, two-year heifer which show that 65.6 per cent of the total cost was expended for feed, 129 per cent for labor, 59 per cent for interest, and 15,6 per cent for other charges, such as buildings, equipment, bedding, etc, or with a total expense of $62.06. These items which might be called other charges" amounted to $9.72
 This emphasizes the need of caution in determining the cost of any single enterprise of the farm. Too frequent ly these other charges are omitted in reporting profits. About the surest way to avoid the possible error is to keep complete set of accounts Of course, there Is some work attached to it but by adopting simple direct entry method of bookkeeping it isn't such a bad job.

APPLAUSE OF VARIOUS KINDS
Always Easy to Distinguish the Gen. uine From the Perfunctory or
 the Manufactured.

With nearly every successful ad dress applause plays a leading part There are several varieties of ap plause The common variety is the perfunctory handclap-a poor. weak contribution which makes a butterfly look lOng-lived in comparison. A sec ond variety is the charity offering of an audience to the oratorial beggar
 The speaker ends profound decla ration with pause which is next door to an open declaration of war if the audience doesn't come across. Or he works himself up in a series of men. tai paroXysms which impels the audi tors to rush to his rescue before it is too date. All spellbinders pocket this variety of applause as real coin. Of course it is nothing of the kind.
 The genuine issue in laudation is a spontaneous and volcanic eruption of approval and delight. It blows out violently from the subterranean fires of folk, and when it has reached it's climax there comes, suddenly and gorgeously from the midst of it second and more terrific explosion, and as this is reaching it's highest point third and seismic spasm rockets up through bedlam and overwhelms every. thing and everybody. This is the real thing. It cannot be made to order and it cannot be counterfeited. The prearranged outbursts at national po- litical conventions following the nomi. nations are pitiable attempts to manu- facture 1t. Claques and coteries of de- voices try occasionally to produce it mechanically. They never do success fully-Victor Murdock in Golfers Weekly.

INDIVIDUALITY OF
 AVERAGE DAIRY COW
Always Best to Give the Milk Producer the Kind of Feeds
 She Likes and Thrives On.

The scientist cannot figure to a nicety just what is the feed or com bination of feeds that Is going to do a certain COW the most good If given free choice of feeds she might shock the balanced ration enthusiast by vio- lating some of the rules of standard izing. She may turn up her nose at gluten feed, or even alfalfa. or some thing else that most cows eat readily. This is individuality that is often spoken of.
 Cows do best on feeds they ike. They eat more of them, and it Is the excess of feed above body maintenance that goes into milk production.
 Watch your cows. If one refuses musty hay you would better favor her with something better if she is a good milker

(By C. V. SINGLETON. Idaho Experi-
 ment StatiOn)
 It is very important that the ewes of the flock be put in proper condition before lambing time, as otherwise the small percentage of lambs. There are two conditions that may result in the raising of small percentage of lambs. First, many people have the impress sion that the ewes can be kept throughout the year on coarse rough feeds with no grain except perhaps a small amount after lambing. The re- suit is that the ewes being thin at lambing time produce weak lambs and do not produce enough milk to keep the lamb alive for the first few days. The second condition, in which the ewes are too fat. is far less common, but does occur. If the ewes have had the run of good pasture during the summer they may be in very high con- dition in early winter. Then, If rather heavy grain feeding is started early the ewes may become too fat for best results. In any flock of great size there is always much individual varia- tion in the tendency of the ewes to put on fat. For this reason 1t is often advisable to divide the flock, putting the fatter ewes together and feeding them rather light until near lambing time. The ewes, thin in condition, should be fed enough to bring them to good breeding condition before lamb ing
 If the ewes are in good breeding condition in the fall and a good qual- ity of roughage is fed, no grain need

Followed Instructions,

Now" said the lawyer to a rag picker who had been arrested for steal ing some fruit of vender, they have sure case on you, and we must play safe. Have you any money?"
 Ten dollars, boss"
 That's good I will get you out of this. To every question, mind, every one. they ask you, simply answer Spoons"
 The pilferer complied perfectly, and as a result the judge angrily ordered the supposed fool released. Of course the lawyer eagerly followed him from the courtroom.
 My man, you played it fine. But for my smartness you'd be in the works. Where's that ten dollarsr"

GOOD DOGS SPREAD
 SEVERAL DISEASES
ToWser Has Been Guilty of Car rying Germs of Rabies, Hyda-
 tid, Favus and RingWorm.

That good friend of the farmer, the dog, will have to be looked after more carefully, if he is not to do as much harm as good on the farm. According to bulletin issued by the United States department of agriculture, Tow ser has been found to be a carrier of such diseases as rabies, hydatd, ring worm, favus, double bored tapeworm, round worm, and tongue worm. All of these are diseases which afflict hu- man beings. Occasionally, also, the dog carries feas and ticks, which in turn transmit bubonic plague and the deadly spotted fever.
 In these days of the foot-and-mouth disease, too, farmers should see to it that their dogs do not bring home the fatal germs, or, if they have the dis ease on their own farms, they should take pains to prevent their dogs from carrying it to their neighbors' farms.

it's very crown. About these gushing mountain waters there fingers the story of the hermit. It is said that when he first reached the summit, searching for a cave in which to live. he was almost famished on account of thirst. With his staff he smote a rock and from it sprang this beautiful stream that has not ceased to flow since that day.
 Though many thousands of feet above the valley, numbers sought his cave. Augustiniani erected fourteen huge crosses, the ruins of which still stand as silent monuments of his de- votion and zeal. From among his curi- ous and devout visitors he formed society called the Brotherhood of the Holy Cross. His only exaction was pilgrimage in May and September They must ascend the peak and say prayer around these crosses In the May pilgrimage of 1867, he made farewell speech that crushed the hearts of his followers. It was then he revealed to them the hand of destiny in his call to the land of Old Mexico. Before his departure he wis ited Father Baca of Las Cruces, who presented him with gold for his long journey. He sought meditation for the night in the Oregon mountains Taking his farewell of Father Baca, he said:
 r Tonight I will be in my cave and will build my last fire on the peak to tell you good-by. will pray the rosary | and l want you to do likewise with your people on the roofs of your houses. If you do not see the fire you
 may know that l am dead and may come tomorrow and get my books and property
 No fire was kindled on the peak that night. The next day a company as. | cended the heights. Amid the very clouds they found the body of the good old hermit, stricken through with many an arrow flung from the bows of the bloody Navajos.

be given until about three or four weeks before the beginning of the lambing season. The grain then given should consist of feeds that favor a good milk flow as oats or bran. A mix ture of the two should prove very sat lsfactory. Up to the time of lambing only about one-half to three-quarters of pound per day need be fed.
 After the lambing period. the amount should be increased somewhat. The proper amount to feed then would depend on the size of the ewes, the percentage of lambs and other factors.
 The question of roughage for ewes IS very important one. Alfalfa and clover hay are almost essential if the very best results are to be obtained. Very coarse, fibrous hays, especially timothy, have been shown to be very objectionable as a roughage for preg- nant ewes. Some form of succulent feed as roots or corn silage can be used to very great advantage If the cost Is not prohibitive.
 The feeding should not be the only consideration in the management of the flock, but the questions of shelter and exercise are equally important Close housing not only Is not essen- tial, but should be guarded against, and instead a more open house or shed should be provided. Warmth of the house is not an important con- sideration, for If kept dry, the sheep's fleece will serve to keep the body warm. Care should be taken that the sheep do not have to stand around in damp, muddy places.

EDUCATE OR TRAIN
 HORSE WHEN YOUNG
Under Average Farm Conditions Draft Colts Are Not Handled
 Until Ready to Work.

Horses should be educated or trained, and never broken, according to Dr. C. w. McCampbell, assistant professor of animal husbandry at the Kansas State Agricultural college. When one breaks horse he breaks its spirit and the animal responds wholly through fear.
 The education of the colt should be- gin when 1t Is but few days old. The first step should be to teach 1t to be led This will not take long, and it is a lesson that the animal will never forget. Under average farm condi- tions draft colts are not handled until they are ready to work, and in this case all they know is to respond to the halter
 "In educating the colt" says Doc tor Campbell, "one should work around it patiently until he has gained it's confidence and then get it used to the harness one piece at time. It should then be driven by the use of the double line.
 Do not attempt to hitch the colt to a load until it is perfectly used to the bit and lines After the animal is ac- customed to the bit and lines and the meaning of the ordinary signs such as get up and whoa it should then be hitched to a wagon with an old and gentle horse"
 Successful horse training depends principally upon two things-horse sense 25 per cent and patience 75 per

RIGHT PASTURE FOR CALVES
host Young Animals Better Of in the Barn Than Fighting Flies in
 the Hot Fields.
{By R. M. WASHBURN)

While 1t is very important that heif- CTS should have free access to pasture during the second summer, to develop strong bodies, the calf need not have pasture the first summer. In fact, for calves born after the first of the year. pasturing may be a disadvantage. Most young calves In this country are better off chewing tender hay in the quiet and half-dark stable than fight ing flies, panting from the heat, and cropping tough grass in the pasture.

VALUES OF THE DAIRY COWS
Animals Supply Cheapest and Most Wholesome Food for Family
 Save Much on Food Bills.

The first reason for having good milk cows on the farm comes from the fact that they provide the cheap est, best and most wholesome food for the family.
 Their value is hard to estimate when we consider the amount saved on the bills Their produce is a supe- rior substitute for many foods neces- sarily purchased at high prices.
 In fact, there is no economic way of doing without plenty of good milk COWS on the farm.

cent, points out this authority. When these two are combined it is compara- lively easy to train or educate any ordinary horse.
 Whenever colt is broken in this manner it has better spirit and real ly works with the expenditure of less energy than the colt that is broken by the force method.
