TAGGING OF SHEEP
is IMPORTANT WORK
Operation Is Simple and Consists
of Placing Animal on Side
and Removing Wool.

CBy r. II. WILLIAMS. Professor OF AMI
NAL Husbandry. University Of Arizona.)
All good shepherds in Europe tag
their ewes. The operation is simple
and consists of placing the sheep on
its side and by means of a hand shears
cutting away the soiled wool and ma
nure which may have accumulated
around the rear end. Anyone can per-
form this work and it is an especially
good method of keeping the sheep
clean and sanitary, and also one will
have less trouble at Landing time for
the lambs will more easily find their
way to the nipple if the tag ends have
been clipped from around the udder.
Very often young lambs will get a lock
of wool in their mouths instead of the
teat, and they often suck in dangerous
amounts of wool which accumulate in
the stomach, and often cause death.
1t is probable that quite a large per-
centage of the mortality in very young
lambs comes from this source.
1t will pay best to tag the ewes, but
many shepherds also tag the wethers,
rams and lambs. one will find that
the work of shearing is so much clean
er, and can be performed more rapidly
so that there Is not much additional
work. When it comes to selling the
wool, one will easily secure more mon
ey for a clip that has been taken from
n wrll-tagged sheep, and in the future,
when wool is bought on its merits,
this is bound to be an economic adj
vantage.

Helpful Hints to Motorists.

1t is usually necessary, in making
motor adjustments, to exercise Il little
patience in order to get the best re-
suits, for the reason that the effects
of the adjustments are not always in
stantly apparent. In c%arburetor adj
justments, for instance, the motor must
be given Il little time to feel the
changes made, as the results obtained
Immediately following the turn of a
needle valve or an air valve spring
may be misleading. The same is true
of lubricating adjustments, only to a
much greater extent, for it is clear that
1t takes some time for oil previously
supplied to work through and for the
new rate of supply to settle down to
steady WORK.

BY TRUCKS
TRANSPORTATION OF PRODUCE
MADE EASY FOR FARMERS.
Motor Service Brings Consumer and
Producer Together for Their Mu.
tuai Beneft-Reduces Expense
Of Food Distribution.

If such authorities as Irving Fisher
are correct in their prediction that
the COST of living is to go on increas-
ing, wen though the war ends, then
no other subject is of greater conse-
quence to 10O,0O0,OO0 Americans than
the question how to reduce the eX-
pense of food distribution.
Lack of any federal or state market
system is. the great difficulty in the
food problem from the consumers
viewpoint as well as the producers.
Some New Jersey truck and dairy
farmers have tackled the problem with
satisfactory results by buying motor
trucks and delivering their products
to customers direct in the city near
est at hand. 1t looks as If there might
he possibilities in this idea for west.
ern farmers, near large towns and
cities, who have dairy, poultry or gar
den truck to sell-anything, in fact,
that's eatable.
How a single farmer 90 miles from
New York took the problem into his
own hands and has made n profitable
dealing with consumers direct, is told
by Mr.. CollingwOod in the Rural New
Yorker, who says: "He did not get the
service he required from the nilronds
and express companies and a few
months ago he bought n siX-ton motor
truck. He can make the round trip to
his customers and get n higher
price for his vegetables and fruit than
if he had to ship them by the usual
transportation lines"
Monmouth county is one of the best
potato districts in New Jersey. Recent
~ Il group of farmers formed Il co
operative association for the delivery
ST potatoes to New York by motor
trucks When their agent telephones
them that the supply is short and the
marke; price is high, they can send 300
or 400 barrels of potatoes to the city
within three or four hours and get II
fair price. Under the system of ship
ping by carloads the farmer seldom
knows Just what his produce will bring.
The city price may be high when the
goods are shipped, but when they ar
rive the market may be over supplied.
These difficulties of transportation
and the auctmting market prices are
what the average farmer is up against
all the time. You constantly hear of
eases where farmers have refused to
ship produce to the city, letting it rot
or feeding it to the hogs, just because
they cannot get anything for it, and
yet those very things that are vast
ing on the farm are selling mt advanc-
lng prices to the city consumer.
y motortruck service from the farm
could bring producer and consumer to-
gether for their mutual benefit.

That's Gratitude.

Conrad Keller, justice Of the peace,
was for 30 years a druggist in Indian
apolis, and many years ago, Keller
says, when he was Il single man, he
slept in a room in the rear of his drug
store.
Late one night, after he had gone to
bed, he heard a knock ut the front
door, and arose and opened it.. A man
living in the neighbOrhoOd entered and
asked whether he might use the tele-
phone to call the doctor for his little
daughter, who was seriously i'll. The
request was granted.
About noon the next day the same
mar again entered the store and asked
to use the telephone II second time.
Sure" said Keller. "By the way,
how is your little girl?"
"Oh. she's all right" the visitor re-
piled. "The doctor came and left n
prescription and she's getting along

"Where did you get the prescription

DAIRY
FACTS
KICKING cow EASILY CURED
Three Different Methods Suggested fol-
Treatment Of Unruly Animal by
Kansas Expert.

(By LESLIE ROSS. Kansas Experiment
Station.)
Care and patience will do much to
cure the kicking COW.
The kicking cow is easily cured by
the proper methods. To cure the Of
Tending animal take n q p with Il
loop in n end of it or n trunk strap
and pass it around the body of the
cow. Draw it tight. The 10Y usually
will jump n little ut first, but when
she finds she cannot get out of the
rope she will Standard cannot kick.
This method once in a while causes
the roy to give bloody milk. If this
happens place the rope or strap be-
hind the udder and draw it up in the
same manner. With some w this
cannot be done because of the shape
of the udder. Another method is to
hobble the COW by passing the rope
around each leg behind the udder, and
tying just above the hooks. This is,
however, rather dangerous for the
man tying the rope. After the pre-
ventive measure has been repeated II
few times the COW will stand readily
to be MIXED.

NttNt
tstakes may occur In filling an order
o 1t is a good plan to get all such
orders off to the factory II long time
before the machines are needed. The
difference between preparing Il good
seeded in the spring or doing n hur-
ry-up job at the fag end of the seed
ing season depends more upon manage
ment in this respect than upon hard
work or extensive seeding outfits.
A good implement shed Is a valuable
acquisition to any farm, because 1t
places Il farmer in n position to attend
to little things at the proper time to
prevent trouble later.
In building an implement shed it Is
a good plan to use plenty Of concrete
in the foundation, and if it has a ON
crete floor the full size of the build
ing, the machines may be moved about
much easier.
The object of a machinery shed Is to
protect farm implements and machines
from the weather. If machines stand
on the ground. moisture comes up from
below sufficient at times to rust every
iron part of a machine that is not cov-
cred with paint, oil or grease.
A floor for the purpose of preventing
this damage should be made the way
Il sidewalk is constructed. The ground
is laid off In divisions 4 or 5 feet In
width by 2-by-4 that Is held in place
by stakes. The top of the 2-by-4 Is
leveled 81 the concrete when filled in
and tamped and properly surfaced with
a layer of cement mortar Is struck off
level with the top of the 2-by-4 guide.

service of a new sire and at the same
time make it possible to determine
which are the best producers so that
those not making good can be dis
posed of.
A sufficient number of the best fe-
males from the successful sires should
be retained, and in some cases male
offspring may be put into service in
the neighborhood. This will obviate
the necessity for any further extern
sive purchases and give a constant sup
ply of good blood and uniform quality.
In addition, it will provide an adequate
number of animals to take the place of
those that die, are injured, or sold. The
serviceable sires crossed with the fe-
males retained will be of incalculable
value in the continued production Of
animals of outstanding merit.
Lack of Uniformity.
One of the reasons for the lack Of
uniformity in the quality of our live
stock is the fact that many of our in
dividual farmers and breeders have
not adhered tO.One type or breed Of
sire. The results provide a striking
example of the need of organization.
With the organized community many
advantages are to be'gained. First Of
all, greater interest will be taken in
the proper methods of breeding, feed
ing, etc, with the result that a definite
community type will be established
and the members will work together In
maintaining that ideal. United action
is brought about in the prevention and
eradication of disease, combined ac-
ton along this line being far more of
fective and economical han individual
effort. The good effect of combined
action on the part of the breeders Of
a community in preventing the spread
of such a disease as hog cholera for
instance, car readily be appreciated.
Much can be accomplished in a sim
liar manner in stamping out cOnta-
giouS diseases among other classes of
live stock, and by the adoption of prop
err sanitary methods further outbreaks
in the community can be avoided. A
reputation for sound, healthy stock
is Il most desirable and valuable asset.

WARTS MAY BE TROUBLESOME
They May Be Entirely Removed by
Smearing Them ThickIy With Un-
adulterated Olive Oil.

Warts on the teatS are often trouble
some in milking, besides adding to the
danger of increasing the possibility of
communicating the milk through infcc-
tious material which may be found on
them. They may be greatly benefited
or entirely removed by Smearing them
thickly with pure olive oil.
If they are large, and still persist
despite this treatment, they may be
cut off with a sharp pair of scissors,
and the spot touched with Il stick of
cauStic potash.
They may be oiled now, and the
caustic potash treatment repeated rs
often as necessary to prevent their re-
newed growth.
