GOOD DOGS SPREAD
SEVERAL DISEASES
TowSer Has Been Guilty of Car
rying Germs of Rabies, Hyda-
It'd, FaVuS and RingWorn.

That good friend OF the farmer, the
dog, viii 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, hydatid, ring
worm, favus, double-bored tapeworm,
round worm, and tongue worm. All
of these are diseases which aff1ict hu-
man beings Occasionally, also, the
dog carries f1eas 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.

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or IT Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys In their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort Of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
6ackache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full Of sediment, channels Oft
en- get sore, water scaids and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon Juice, COM
bined with Iithia, and has been used
for generations TO clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness

meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot

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

(By H s. EAKINS. Colorado AgricuItur-
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 al IN
common The parasite that causes
mango in hogs is microscopic in size
and looks something like an oat grain.
1t fmbeds in the region Of the hair
follicles, especially around the snout,
eyes and forelegs, causing the forma-
ton Of small pustuIes. 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
mftted to other hogs and treatment
is difficult. Since there are some
who believe hog cholera may be trans
mftted by these and other external
parasites, such as lice, it is well to
keep lookout for hog mango.

ment StatiOn.)
It is very important that the ewes
of the flock be put in proper condition
before lambing time, as otherwise the
farmer or breeder can expect only a
small percentage OF lambs. There are
two conditions that may result in the
raising OF a 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 Landing. The re-
suit is that the ewes being thin at
Landing 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 a good pasture during the
summer they may be in very high con-
ditiOn in early winter. Then, il 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-
ton in the tendency OF the ewes to
put on fat. For this reason it is often
advisable to divide the flock, putting
the fatter ewes together and feeding
them rather light until near Landing
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

Color plays part so important in

silk is a happy choice in materials.

to make a fascinating background for

be given until about three or four
weeks before the beginning of the
Landing 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
isfactory- Up to the time Of Landing
only about One-half to three-quarters
Of a pound per day need be fed.
After the Iambfng 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, fbrous hays, especially
timothy, have been shown to be very
Questionable as a roughage for preg-
nant ewes Some form Of succulent
feed as roots or corn siIage 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 or shelter
and exercise are equally important.
Close housing not only is not essen
uaI, 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 sleeps
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.
