SHEEP KILLED BY MAGG0TS
Parasites Develop In ciotted Filth In

Much injury from maggots on sheep

ditlons the maggots develop In "a

Each sheep should be carefully ex-
amined. and enough lysol or some
other dip Of practically full strength
at the first application should be-
poured on the maggots. Apply as
many times as is necessary to be ef-
fective. Then examine frequently,
and when the maggots are all killed
apply a healing salve so that the skin
will keep soft and the wool will grow
again.

On the average farm there should
be radical improvement in breeding

complaints throughout the country

large average litters a breeder can
raise TO Its most efficient point the size
CT his litters. This probably runs be-
tween seven and eight to the litter.
The hog raiser can prevent losses,
other than those caused by disease, by
providing proper shelter for the SOW
at farrowing time. The raiser should
always cultivate the confidence of his
animals by quiet and humane han
ding; this care and attention In times
Of necessity will pay big returns.

Wilcox said that he wouldn't have believed that his opponents would have resOrted to such tactics, but now he feared that there might be others, to be used wi h = In a day or two of election.
 MT. Wilcox also told of thirty six hours of conversation with campaign CTS from various states where the campaigning had been hot and heavy on the theory that the states were doubtful
 New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan are safely republican, :" said MT. Wilcox. There are cross- currents in Wisconsin, but my in formation is that that state will be in the republican column. There are also local fights in Utah. but I am told that the state will be for MT. Hughes. In Minnesota there is no sign of the switch that the democrats have talked of. MT. Hughes will have a minimum of BIO to 325 electoral Votes."

HOSTILE MExIcANS WERE
 COMMANDED BY CHICO GANG
Band That Opened Fire on Big Bend
 District October 19.

San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 30.-The thirty Mexicans who opened fire on an American detachment in the Big Bend district October 19, precipitating a fight that lasted for 45 minutes were under command of Chico Cano This information was contained in a writ ten report on the affair received to- day by General Funston from Major John D. Long, commanding the squad ron of Texas cavalry on duty in the section.
 Cano holds rank as captain in the Carranza garrison at Ojinaga. Major Longs report threw the first light on the composition of the Mexican band.
 According to the report the Ameri- can detachment discovered two of the Mexicans on this side of the Rio Grande signalling to their companions to cross. These men were captured and are still held by the civil author ities. After they had been taken, Ca nos force opened fire. In the ensuing engagement one Mexican was wound ed and was reported to have died later
 The report indicates that soldiers in Cano's command had been drink ing.

NORMAL CONDITIONS ARE
 BEING RESTORED IN MEXICO Formal Statement Made to Mexican
 American Joint Commission.

Atlantic City. N. J.. Oct. 9O.-Normal social and industrial conditions throughout Mexico are rapidly being restored, according to a formal state ment by General Carranza's repre- sentatives today to the American members of the Mexican-American joint commission in session here. A summary of improvements was pre- scented in reply to a formal request by the Americans to the Mexicans to give their reasons for believing that the Carranza government is growing in strength.
 Another communication placed be- fore the Americans by the Mexican commissioners was a telegram from General Candido Aguilar, Mexican minister of foreign affairs, denying Mexico City was to be evacuated and insisting that undue importance had been given reports that Villa forces had defeated "a small detachment" of General Ozuna's army, in "skir- mish" near Chihuahua. The telegram added there were sufficient govern ment troops at Chihuahua to overcome any Villista force.
