German scientists claim that
yawning is extremely beneficial
las it stretches the muscles of the
brain, sends the blood to the jaws
and Sharpens appetite and intell-
eet. The remedy is so cheap that
it is being used extensively in this
town, TO judge by some OF the
hard working chaps who hang
around the stores exercising their
jaws and stretching their muscles.
Yawning may be all right as
brain exereiSer, but we believe a
few hard lieks toward actual
work would produce more lasting
benefits for this town. We have
jaw exercise to keep us on
the front page for eternity. What
we need is a little classified effort

FEEDS FOR HOG PRODUCTION
and Grain Crops Given by tx
pertinent Station.

The best information on the feeds
available in the farmers locality can
be readily and accurately given by his
state experiment station. Pigs make
the best use Of concentrates. These
can be fed in a self-feeder and can be
supplemented by various slaughter
house, bakery, or table by-products,
etc. A by-prOduct to be economical
should be fairly concentrated, should
be moderate in price per 100 pounds
Of nutrients, and should be fresh and
free from faint.
During the winter, IeguminOus hays
fed in addition to the concentrate help
reduce the cost of production in the
summer, pasture crops such as rape,
alfalfa, bur clover, crimson clover, rye,
ETC., make very economical and eff
Gent supplements for hog feeding.
|, In practically every farming district
in the United States cheap and eff
Gent forage and grain crops are avail
able for hog production. These should
be diligently studied by the farmer,
with the aid Of the state and federal
forces, and used in the most profit
able manner.

Team Diskins Corn stubble.

The morning and noon feeds should
be the Hghtest and should consist
largely of grain, the heavy feed being
given in the evening. Some make a
practice Of giving One-quarter of the
daily ration in the morning, one-Quar-
ter Of it at noon, and the other half in
the evening. If the horse has a grain
feed followed by big feed of hay, the
grain is pushed out OF the stomach
before being digested-
Watering before feeding is usually
the best practice. The horse viii eat
better, and if large amount of water
is taken after the grain has been eaten,
it will push some Of the grain out OF
the stomach before it is digested-

ERADICATION OF RED MITES
All Night Pests Fill Their Bodies With
Blood From Fowls and Then
Hide in Daytime.

The red mite is the worst enemy
rhe pOultryman has to contend with,
and the very hardest one to fight.
This pest is very small and normally
is grayish in color, but, more often,
it presents Il deep red color, be
cause of the blood with which it is
filled.
Unless very numerous, the mites are
seldom found on the hens. The pests
work on the hens at night, filling their
bodies with blood. and hide beneath
the percheS. and in cracks and crew
ices near the rOosting quarters during
the day.
Whitewash is not very effective in
fighting the red mite. a better spray
ing material is coal oil emulsion. This
is made by dissolving half u bar of
laundry soap in hot water and adding
half a gallon of coal OIL This mixture
can be diluted with five gallons of
water. The emulsion is best applied
with Il spray-pump. for the reason
that the pump will put the fluid in
cracks and crevices that could not be
reached with q brush.
The job Of spraying must be very
thoroughly done. Some of the mites
will likely escape the first spraying,
and for this reason it is advisable to
repeat the spraying in a few days, and
again in week, to destroy the mites
that hatch from eggs.

COLD STORAGE is EFFICIENT
Recommended by Expert of Kansas
Agricultural College as Best Way
of Keeping Eggs.

Cold storage is the best way to pre-
serve eggs. in the opinion of F. E
MuSsehl. instructor in poultry hus-
tural college.
Many preparations are used for
preserving eggs" says Mr. Mussehl,
''But none are as efficient as cold stor-
age. Some persons use sodium sill
cate, commonly known as water glass,
while others use lard or one of the
many commercial preparations to pre-
serve eggs.
These methods of storing eggs pre-
vent decomposition by bacterial action,
but do not stop engine action. The
engines are always present in the egg
and are active at ordinary tempera-
lures. With good fresh eggs kept at
the proper storage, temperature 81
or 81 degrees acknowledgements &C
ton as well as bacterial action is pre-
vented. Three months is a long time
to keep eggs at room temperature yet
this is what the poultry department
has done"
In order to prove the superiority OF
infertile eggs over fertile ones in keep
ing quality, Mr.. Mussehl kept a dozen
eggs in his office for three months.
When examined at the end of the
period they showed no signs of decom-
position other than a slight thinning
of the white and yOlk, and a faint
OdOr. These changes were due to the
action of engines within the egg

FEEDING THE WORKING MARE
She Will Require More Care and Feed
Than One Turned Into Pasture
Colt Must Exercise.

Where the services of the mare are
required for farm work, the colt should
be shut in a paddock or in a large box
stall.
A Western authority on horse rails
ing says the mare that is worked while
nursing a foaI will require more care
in her feeding and general handling
than the one that is turned out to pas
tUre with nothing to do save raise the
colt. The working mare must be fur
nished not only with energy sufficient
for her to keep up her end Of the
work, but she must at the same time
nourish another and growing body
The crushed oats and bran given the
colt will aid greatly in keeping up
his growth and development under
such conditions.
As soon as he has passed his first
weeks Of life the colt should be given
ample opportunity for exercise in a
roOmy lot. Where he has the run Of
pasture at his mothers heels the re-
quirement Of exercise viii take care OF
itself.
