TREATING SHEEP FOR WORMS
Pests May Be Combatted by Pasture
Rotation, Combined With Drugs
Injurious to Insects.

The stomach worm is the worst
pest affecting sheep. Lambs are more
susceptible than older sheep. prob
ably because the older sheep are ac-
customed to the presence of the worm.
In the spring, soon after lambing, the
old sheep should each receive dose
of one or two ounces of gasoline, fol.
lowed by small dose of EPSON salts.
After a day or two they should be
placed in a worm-free pasture, If pos
sible.
In July treat the whole herd, includ-
ing the lambs, with gasoline, and turn
them into new pasture, and repeat the
process in November Pasture rota-
ton, combined with drugs that are in
furious to the worm, is a practical
method Of successfully combating this
worm.

Duck Flew Away From War Zone.

During the first week of December

ings, the hunter carefully scrutinized
his trophy, on one leg Of which he
found a metal band marked "24 Ber-
lin Zoo" The duck was mounted by
a Guthrie taxidermist, and Is now the
property of Mr.. Walter Wilson Of the
First National bank of Henryetta. The
probable route of migration of this
duck is regarded as OF interest to Or
nithologists. Crossing the northern
Atlantic in it's fight from Germany,
the duck reached the shores Of Amer
ica, and then proceeded far inland on
it's southwark fight. Naturally, the
noise and disturbance of war In Eu-
rope is attributed as possible reason
for the ducks long Journey to a new
land. 1t is hardly thought that the
voyager came across Asia by way OF
Bering sea.

cows REQUIRE MUCH WATER
Practice of Watering Herd But Once
Daily Is Not to Be Recommended
Three Times Is Better.

1t is a mistake to be satisfied with
watering the herd but once a day. If
they can be induced to drink twice or
three times a day, it should be done.
Cows need much water
1t has been found that the average
milch COW requires about 81 pounds
of water a day while in milk NEARLY
ten gallons), and about 54 pounds
while dry. OF this, the COW in milk
takes rather more than twothirds
(say seven gallons) as drink, and the
rest in her food while the dry cow
takes rather less than two-thirds as
drink, and little more than onethird
in the food.

Bungalow Not Always Cheapest Form


Contrary to the general impression,
a bungalow is not the cheapest form
OF house construction. Comfortable
and attractive these dwellings un.
doubtedly are, when built under favor
able conditions, but cheap? No! Quite
the reverse.
For to be entirely successful bun
galow must be low and rambling, cov-
ering a considerable plot Of land and
with plenty of ground on all sides.
This necessitates large building site,
and a greater amount of cellar and
roof than is required in the cottage
type of house.
On small lots, tightly crowded into
rows, bungalows become merely one
story fiat buildings, and as such are
most uninteresting.

CONTROL THE COOLING
MOTH BY SPRAYING
T. B. SYMONS,
Maryland Agricultural College Exten
sion Service.

Now that the dormant season spray
ing is over, orchardists must prepare
for the control of the Cooling Moth,
which causes wormy apples, by treat.
Ing their apple trees just as the bios
SONS fall.
The Codling Moth passes through
the winter as a full grown larva in
small, white cocoon beneath or in
crevices of the bark. About the time
that apples bloom, the larva trans
forms to the pupa. from which the
moth emerges.
The female lays from so to 60 eggs,
mostly upon the foliage. The eggs
hatch in from five to ten days, de-
pending upon the season and tempera-
ture The young larva usually feeds
little on the tender parts Of the
leaves before 1t crawls to the nearest
young apple, which 1t attacks by en-
tering the calyx cup. Some will enter
the stem end or on the side. The
larva continues to feed into the young
fruit, its work being indicated by the
we'll known excreta thrown out from
the calyx, showing the worminess of
the apple The larva reaches maturity
in from three to four weeks and eats
its way out usually through the side
of the apple, and seeks secluded
spot, where it spins its cocoon for
Transforming to the adult. In this
region there is partial second brood
occurring about July 1st.
Controlling The Moth.
The Cooling Moth is controlled by
spraying with an arsenical such as
Arsenate of Lead, Paris Green, etc,
Usually combination spray is ap-
plied. using concentrated lime-sulphur
solution, diluted at the rate of one and
one-half gallons to a barrel Of water
tor diseases, to which is added the
arsenical-two pounds. Paste Arsenate
of Lead, or about one-third pound
dIlS blttll. Moot 6io"Clo VOC "a
senate of Lead If the powdered Ar
senate of Lead is used-one pound to
he barrel is sufficient.
Many commercial firms are selling
Arsenate Of Lime in place OF Arsen-
ate Of Lead. This is little cheaper
and there is no reason why 1t should
not be equally as effective on apple,
out should not be used on peach and
inil".tend:Istoliase plants
Apply Properly.
1t is very important in spraying for
the Codling Moth that the work be
thorough, and that the spray be ap-
piled with good power. Power spray
prs are, of course, most desirable for
this as well as other spraying. The
foliage should be covered with the
spray and special effort made to lodge
the solution in the calyx cup Of the
blossoms.
Through extended tests II has been
found that the Cooling Moth can be
usually controlled with one thorough
spray applied just before the calyx
cup closes. or as the blossoms fall,
With the high cost Of arsenicals
this season, we would recommend one
spraying for this pest this season. or
course, ii may be necessary to spray
later on for the control of some dis
eases, such as Bitter Rot.
The above treatment for Cooling
Moth should also suffice to prevent
injury from the Curculio on Apple.

ERADICATE LICE ON CATTLE
Frequently Serious Pest on Stock In

Lice on cattle and young stock are
frequently a serious pest in winter
Any of the various dips advertised or

They can be put on with a sponge or
