TREATMENT FOR HOG WORMS
Best Preventive is to Give Animals
Clean Troughs-Keep Away From
Stagnant Water Pools.

To keep hogs free from worms they
should at all times have drink from
clean troughs, feed from clean floor
and keep away from yards, wallows,
manure piles, pastures and stagnant
waters.
For worms, give eight grains of san
torine and FIVE grains Of calomel for
every 100 pounds of body weight.
Give the medicines in little slop
after starving the pigs for IS hours.
Repeat in two weeks If thought neces-
sary.

Saving tho Trees.

The cementing Of holes in trees Is
now quite common. On old estates,
where trees have been showing holes
in their trunks for years, they are
now being cemented, both to add to
the stability of the trunks and to
arrest further decay. Huge trees with
holes In their trunks large enough for
a man to stand upright in are now
filled with cement, the cement being
painted the color of the bark.

Two-YearOId Trees Rest.

It Is a mistake to set out trees
more than two years old. Many good

year-olds generally produce the best
results.

UNCLE SANS BIG
NAIL SERVICE
New Branch Of Postoffice Service
Manages Over 100000
Persons.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 20.-It
takes 100000 persons to care for the
contents of Uncle Sans mail bags!
This figure covers the postoffices of
the first, second and third classes
and includes city mail carriers.
All this vast army was placed
under new generalship July 1, ac-
cording to provisions Of the '1egisla-
tive, executive and judicial act" ap-
proved last May. Fifty-six thousand
postoffices were transferred by this
act to a new division of postoffice
service"
This organization absorbs several
former branches. 1t is under imme-
date charge Of General Superinten-
dent Goodwin d. Ellsworth Of North
Carolina. and Assistant General Sup
erintendent William s. Ryan of New
York.
The new division will disburse ap-
preparations amounting to $3.50, 000,-
600 for the ensuing fiscal year. This
vast sum is required to cover the
salaries Of postmasters, supervisory
officers, clerks, city carriers, etc., the
rental and equipment of Offices not
in federal buildings, maintenance of
vehicles for delivery, collection and
etc.
The total appropriation for the en-
tire postal service for the fiscal year
1917 will be approximately $222,000,-
600. Almost half of this is required
for work done under the division of
postoffice service" 1t is spent in
amounts varying from 81 to more
than $4,000. and the handling Of this
amount involves a trem endous yoIum e
Of correspondence. rf1 ~,
Besides keeping Of files and rec
ords, the work of the new depart
ment includes the assignments, ap-
pointments, adjustments of salaries,
investigation and consideration OF
charges, granting leave Of absence,
and the PRONUNCIATION of rules and
regulations.
During the fiscal year ending June
80. 1916, the salaries of over 5000
postmasters were changed and adj
justed, $500 carriers and clerks were
promoted, 1,4O0 additional clerks and
|1,500 additional carriers were ap-
pointed.
The government owns All mail
autos. The original cost of these
machines was more than 100000.
The expense of operating them in
GLIDING drivers salaries. garages and
upkeep is about 100000 fer annum,
sum less than that speat for the
same service under the former con-
tract system.
Before the organization Of the .iiv1-
sion of postofflce service, the various
functions of moving mails in cities
and towns was managed by two sec
lions of the postoffice department.
The new division includes all the
work of handling mails IN cities and
towns.
At the railway stations the juris-
diction passes to the railway mail
service, which belongs to the bureau
of the second assistant postmaster
general.

Limited But More Desirable Time
Limits May BE Established
for the Benefit Of
Hunters.
lBARME1ER's STATEMENT
Local spertsmen Should Address
Opinions ~ to Proper Seasons
to the Washington
office.

Federal regulations of the hunting
of ducks on the Mississippi in Iowa
waters viii be amended to meet the
approval OF sportsmen Of this terri
tory and provide limited hunting in
proper season. This is the interpre-
ta1ion of advices received from the
department of agriculture by Harry
Barmeier OF Dubuque. inspector for
Iowa
The proposed regulations, effective
August II. provide an open season
for Iowa from February 8 to March
IL. and from September Is to Novem-
Der 16. The greatest objection to
the arrangement is that the spring
season catches Iowa rivers In their
coolest time, when rivers are usual
ly frozen over and duck hunting is an
impossibility. The most agreeable
suggestion for change is to have
the spring season from March IL to
March 81, giving twenty-one days.
Mr.. Barmier states that in justice
to his position he does not make
any recommendations to the sports
men as to what changes they should
advocate, but he does urge that hunt
ers forward their earnest and impair
tia1 opinions to the biological sur
yev, department of agriculture, at
Washington. as the Washington Office
is highly DESTROYS to become acquaint-
ed with the conditions and with the
opinions of the sportsmen in the ter
ritory affected by the regulations.
Mr.. Barmeier has had his territory
enlarged considerably. He now has
jurisdiction over Iowa and South Da-
kota, and concurrent Jurisdiction
with the Atchison inspector over Kan
sas and Missouri. Save for a few
violations about general observance
Of the game laws, Mr.. Barmeier says
he has always found the heartiest
Of support among the hunters Of
Iowa; spirit of true craftsmanship
prevails among the Iowans and the
hunters themselves are the best
policemen of the waters, anxious to
assist in punishment of abusers Of
the laws.
