Most Of the copper stocks mentioned In
tho merger rumors Of the past week went
down. On tho other hand there was a
new report affecting the copper industry
generally which attracted no little atten-
ton and considerable credence. Accord
ing to It the big producers and the big
selling agencies are planning organiza-
ton OF a company to engage In export
trade in copper. the object being to pro-
tct American consumers against organ
lzations OF foreign consumers. John ID.
Ryan Of Anaconda has long maintained
that some pooling Arrangement or export
organization was necessary II the pro-
ducers here were to deal on even terms
with the consumers abroad. and repre-
sentatives OF other big producers adhere
to the same opinion. Tho business Of
convincing Washington that the export
organization would not be counter TO thu
antitrust laws, Il was said. was the onl,
thing standing In the way Of the organ

COMMON TAPEW0RM IN LAMBS
Not Believed That They Are Respon-
sible for Many Deaths of Animals,
Says Western Expert.
(By I e. NEWSOM, Colorado Agricul-
L...ai H,ol Calling Calnl

(By I. e. NEWsoM, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
The common tapeworm Of lambs Is
one that has a habit of getting into
the duct leading from the liver, and
for this reason many who have exam
ined sheep, dead Of disease, have sus-
pected the tapeworm Of causing the
death. It might be we'll to state that
more than 60 per cent of all western
lambs have these tapeworms, as evil
denced by finding them on the kill
ing floors at the large packing houses.
While it must be admitted that in a
few instances they may cause some
trouble, yet it is not believed that they
are responsible for many Of our lamb
losses.
During the siege of the Kansas
horse disease some man unfamiliar
with the normal conditions in horses
for the first time found Palisade
worms in the abdominal arteries of
dead horses. He at once jumped at
the conclusion that these worms were
responsible for the disease. Had he
known that approximately 95 per cent
of all horses have these same worms,
his reputation might not have suffered.
It is rather common for veterinarians
to diagnose tapeworms in dogs, and in
about 95 per cent these diagnoses are
correct, but that the tapeworms in
these animals are responsible for dis
ease is not at all evident, except in a
very small percentage of cases. So It
is with these tapeworms in lambs.
They can always be found in posting
any large number OF animals, but that
they are responsible for any serious
disease is evident only in a few cases.

EXERCISE FOR LAYING HENS
When Feeding Grain Scatter It Far
and Wide and Make Fowls Hustle
to Gather It Up.

In the first place do not overfeed.
Bear in mind that if a hen is to be
kept in laying condition, she must
have exercise. When you feed grain.
do not put it in trough where the
hens can stand and eat their fill, but
scatter It far and wide, as the hens
viii find every grain. If the snow is
on the ground after the cold season
sets in, throw the grain in leaves or
cut straw, so as to keep them busy.
DO not feed grain exclusively, but give
q variety. Allow ground meat or
meat and bone fresh from the butch
er, three times week. Vary the
grain, feeding corn, wheat and oats,
and give cabbage, cooked turnips.
clover leaves or any other food that
the hens will eat.

Emden Geese.

open shed is an ideal arrangement for
winter fattening.
Provide a trough to fit in front OF
each crate and let the birds feed
through the Stats.
Arrange to give plenty of water or
akfn milk at all times. Dairy wastes
can be well utilized in mixing up mash
foods for fattening the fowls.
Do not crowd too many fowls In
crate. Let there be room enough for
each bird to stand at the trough with
out trampling each other.
The birds should be provided with
plenty of sharp gravel or other grit.
Start them on full feed It once and
keep them on it for 1S days at least
A duck or goose will lay on large

The idea of feeding mash food Is
that 1t puts NOR :esh or the fowls

WEAVING THE FoAL is EASY
Merely Matter of Separation, If Prop
erIy Cared for During Summer
Months-Time Varies.

If the foal has been properly cared
for during the summer months, being
fed little grain in addition to the
roughage and dams milk, weaving
time will be merely matter of sepa-
ration.
The time Of weaving will vary with
conditions, but the best rule is to al
low it five to seven months, says Farm,
Stock and Home, as the work Of tho
mare varies from heavy to light, but
If possible, don't wean the foal before
four months.
The important stage Of the young
ster's life is now at hand. Separation
from the dam must be complete to be
