cases, to the same nests"

TIME FOR BREEDING SWINE
Early Pigs Always Stronger, Grow
Faster and Are Healthier Than
Later Arrivals.

By w. l.. BLIZZARD, Department OF
Animal Husbandry, Oklahoma A. and
NJ College. Stillwater)
PROFESSIONALLY the. best time to-
raise hogs Is in the spring. The early
pigs are always stronger, grow faster,
and are more healthy than the later
arrivals. The SOW should be thriving
at breeding time, but not overfat.
The best time to breed gifts is
when they are eight months, of age;
second litter at two years of age
Breeding too early hinders develop
ment and lowers the vitality Of both

in the herd as long as useful. A prov

the same sense that buggy or gas
engine is considered secondhand. A
good, steady SOW with well-deyeloped
teats can usually be depended upon to
repeat the performance.

HOLDING CUTWORM IN CHECK
Where Pests Prove Troublesome In
Garden Poison Mixture VIII Be
Found Efficacious.

(By J. S. GARDNER, Missouri College Of
Agriculture.)
II cutworms prove troublesome In
the garden or cornfield, they can be
held in check with a mixture Of 25
pounds Of bran, half pound of paris
green or lead arsenate and q quart Of
molasses. The lead arsenate is now
cheaper than the paris green, and
whichever is used should be dissolved
in two gallons Of water, to which the
molasses and ground pulp of two lem
ons or oranges should be added.
This poison mixture should be scat
tered in the evening in order that it
may stay moist as long as possible, as
the worms refuse to eat it after it has
become dry. The addition Of the or
ange or lemon juice is important in
making it attractive to the worms, but
it is likely to be attractive to the
chickens and some other farm animals
also with fatal results.

Gamblers Never Suicides.

Great police officials assure us that
the professional gambler or person
moved by true gambling instinct new
er under any circumstances takes his
own life. 1t is the defauiting clerk
who kills himself, the ruined shopkeep-
er, the desperate woman of the world,
the involved financier, the defaulter
and the like, who have turned for the
moment to the gambling table in the
vain hope of recouping their losses
or mending their ruined fortunes.
The true gambler is person Of eter-
nal hope. If he loses today he be-
lieves that he will win tomorrow.
None but reasonable and reasoning
men, players from ambition, from envy
or necessity, ever give way to despair
and commit suicide. The professional
gambler lives to old age," says Mon
sieur Claude in his memories.-Mel-

TO KILL ASPARAGUS BEETLE
Arsenate Of Lead, Fish Oil Soap and
Water Mixed and Sprayed Will
Eradicate Pest.

During the cutting season the adult
asparagus beetles are around busily
eating holes into the young asparagus
shoots and depositing hundreds of
tiny little eggs on the shoots. These
eggs are dark colored. about one
twenty-fifth OF an inch long and are
stuck fast on one end SO they stand
up. These can be easily seen by
close observer. Millions of eggs may
be destroyed when the crop is being
harvested for market, but the beetles
and their larvae frequently become
very destructive on the late summer
growth.
1t was formerly supposed that 1t was
impractical to check this destruction
because poison sprays would not stick
to the greasy, wirelike leaves and
stems. With the recent developments
in machinery and spray material the
work can be done effectively and eco
nomically. Fifty gallons of the mate
rial Is made by using three pounds OF
arsenate Of lead paste, three pounds
Of fish oil soap to make the solution
stick, and so gallons of water This is
applied with power spray or a bar
rel hand pump.

Q. It costs less to keep eight 1,2o0-
pound steers than to keep IL Soo-
pound steers.
8. The season influences the cost.
1t is highest in the winter and in very
hot weather.
4. Previous high living greatly in
creases the cost.
S. Youth and activity increase the
cost.
6. Age and inactivity decrease the
cost.
Z. A long time on maintenance de-
creases the cost.
8. Fatness may decrease the cost,
since the steer can save feed by using
its body fat.
9. Thrifty steers need less feed
than poor feeders and those lacking In
thrift.
