CURE FOR HOG ITCH
GIVEN BY SPECIALIST
Disease Is Caused by Certain
Mites Burrowing Into Skin
Separate Affected Pigs.

Constant care Is necessary for sue
cess in the hog business. When any
thing is the matter with their hogs,
the wise farmers write to the agri-
cultural extension service for assist
ance. To recent inquiry of this sort,
Prof. W. s. Cunningham, assistant ami
NAL husbandman of the University of
Arizona agricultural experiment sta
ton replies:
"Your pigs are undoubtedly affect
ed with mango, which is also called
hog itch. This disease is caused by
certain mites burrowing into the skin
and causing the scabs. The rea
son the trouble has apparently been
cured with the dipping and then re-
turns, is because of the fact that these
mites live under the scabs and burrow
somewhat into the skin so that the dip
cannot get at all Of them without spe-
cial treatment. The dip kills those
on the outside but later those nor
deeply imbedded become active and
the scabs to form again, accom-
panied by the intense itching. l feel
sure that you will get rid of this trou-
BILE If you will follow the following d.
rections: Cover the scabby portion
of the hogs with some sort of oil, and
a few hours later scrub thoroughly
with warm soapy water, removing all

PLAN FOR GROWING
Different PEPPERS
Seed Should Be Sown Early and
Temperature Of Hotbed High
er Than for Tomato.

Many persons fail in growing the
| different varieties of peppers, which
| are being used more and more each
year, simply because two very i'm.
portant facts are unknown or over
looked. The seed should be sOwn In
a hotbed early. The temperature of
this hOtbed should be above that of a
hotbed for tomato or any other kind
Of plant, unless 1t be the eggplant,
but the pepper should be started earli-
er than the eggplant.
Cover the seed with light earth, one
half inch in depth, and pressed firmly.
Keep the bed warm at night, and do
not ventilate too freely during the
day unless the weather should become
suddenly warm. Do not plant the pep
pers in the open bed too soon. Cool
weather will chill them and stunt their
growth, and cause delay in the final
crop.
The soil for peppers should be very
rich. No better fertilizer has been
found than poultry anure. This ma
lure should be applied before the
plants are set, and afterward during
the months when the plants are max
ing a vigorous growth. This Is the
only vegetable which is not apt to be
injured by the use of poultry manure
If it is used with good judgment. Do
not permit too much of the manure to
lie close to the plant. The roots will
reach out and collect the strength.

scales. Then apply the dip, but be
careful to hold the hogs back and
rub the dip into the skin well over
the affected parts. Dip again in about
five days, taking are to rub the dip
into the skin and remove any scabs
which may have started. If this does
not get rid of the trouble in a very
short time, try the following for
mula:
"CreOlin. n ounce; oil of tar, one
ounce; sulphur, n ounce; lard or
vaseline, eight ounces.
mix well together and after wash
ing and removing the scabs with warm
soap water, apply this ointment to the
affected parts, rubbing 1t into the skin
thoroughly. Examine the hogs a few
days later and If there are any indi-
cations of the trouble returning, re-
peat the remedy. These mites are very
persistent, and can be overcome only
by being sure that you remove all the
scabs at the time Of treatment, and
In getting the remedies applied very
thoroughly. I advise that you try to
keep the pigs which are affected
away from the rest Of the herd
because the disease is very likely to
spread to the other hogs. The mites
will also attack the skin of humans,
so 1t will be advisable for you to wash
your own hands thoroughly after treat.

attention TO FEET
OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Care of Horses Hoofs Should Be-
gin When Animal Is Young
Some Good Pointers.

The care of a horses feet should
commence when he is a colt, that Is,
before he is weaned. Untrimmed hoOfs
usually grow long and uneven, and a
crooked foot, OF worse, a crooked leg
Is the result. Failure to regulate the
length and bearing of the foot may
make a straight leg crooked or a crook
ed leg worse. while intelligent care
during the growing period a gradu-
ally improve a leg that is crooked at
birth.
When picking up a colts foot teach
him to stand on three legs and not
depend on the n holding up his foot
for the fourth point Of support. The
handling Of a colts feet begins with
the near front foot. Tie a rope around
the pastern, grasp the rope close to
the foot, push gently against the Shout
der, and quickly lift the foot.
The lifting of the foot must be stimuli
taneOus with the weight shifting to
the other feet. Gentle the foot and leg
and let it down. Repeat several times
and then trim and lever the hOOf.

(By A D. TOMsON.)

An interesting comparison Of prices
received by neighboring farmers In Ne.
braska for cattle marketed In March,
1917, is presented herewith. One party
shipped "a head Of grade cattle, chief
ly two-year-Olds and three year-Olds,
to market and received a total Of 49,
1875. The shipment included a Short
horn bull that sold by weight for
1921. the highest price ever recorded
for a bull at that market.
The other party consigned eight
head Of registered Shorthorns-calves,
yearling and two-year-olds-to a public
sale and received for the eight head
$2,165, just $50 less than his neighbOr
received for "a head which had q de-
cided advantage In age.
If we deduct the price of the bull
from the total received by the party
who sold on the market, it would leave
$1,974 for % head-an average Of $3.50
per head, whereas the average received
for the registered cattle, which, as

be understood, further. that the prices

for the general average price at public

months is far In excess of this figure.
Field Not Overdone.
The comment that the average farm
er would naturally make here is 1--WE
can't all breed full blood or registered
cattle, because the market would soon
be OverdOne." Here Is the answer :
%ShOrthOrns are the most umerous of
any beef breed Of cattle in the United
States and the most widely distributed.
They have been bred in this country
since about the year 1855 and yet If all
of the registered ShOrthOrns living In
the United States today were assem-
bled in the state Of Iowa, it would
make but two, or slightly less than
two, to every quarter section of land
in that state, leaving all the rest of
the country without any registered

Der 20, 1866, carefully preserved in
the venerable general order book In
the Hall of Records ut Philadelphia,
was Maj. Benjamin Franklin Stephen
son, provisional commander in chief
in 1866 and the founder of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
Major Stephenson was a native of
Wayne county, Illinois, where he vas
born in 1922. Reared In poverty, but
managing to wreSt an education from
difficult conditions, he entered the
medical profession, graduating from
Rush Medical college, Chicago, in 1851,
and practicing In Petersburg, Ill. He
enlisted and served three years as sur
geon of the Fourteenth Illinois in
fantry and Immediately after the wal
he resumed the practice Of his profess
sion, locating at Springfield, Ill. Major
Stephenson during the var was close
ly associated with Chaplain william
Rutledge. n Virginian by birth, a resi-
dent of Illinois and n Methodist preach
er, who was his terminate and bosom
companion.
TT WAS while upon the campaign
/ of Sherman's expedition to Meridian,
Fla. in 1864, that Chaplain Rutledge
Is said to have made the fruitful sug-
gestlon to Major Stephenson that
''soldi"rs so closely allied in fellow
ship of suffering would when mustered
out desire some form of association to
preserve the friendship and the memo
ries Of their common trials and dam
gers"
The two friends agreed that If spared
they would work out together some
plan of allegiance to meet the need.
This suggestion and agreement proved
to be the germ of the Grand Army of
the Republic, the greatest and most
influential body of veterans in the
world. 1t was not until nearly n year
aft the grand muster out that Major
Stephenson and Chaplain Rutledge
met in Springfield and laid the fOunda-
ton plans for the new national order.
The work of a Missouri organization
cslled the Grand Army of Progress
suggested the form of ritual which was
adopted and which was printed In
great secrecy.
FOURTEEN charter members of the
Grand Army participated in the
first conference, and united 10 from
the first historic pioneer G. A. X.

Killing WooIIy Aphis.

Experiments in the use of poisonous
gases against the woolly apple aphis
indicate that carbon bisulphid may
with good results be applied to the
roots by injection or in water poured
around the roots. Experiments in the
control Of the woolly aphis on the
roots of nursery apple stock by the
use of poisonous gases indicate that
while the use of carbon bisulphid is
impracticable under nursery condi-
tons, para-dichlorobenzene offers
promise against this pest.

year-Olds, was $27O.60 per head. The
average cost per head Of raising the
registered S%horthorns could hardly be
as great as the average per head of
raising the grades, as they were much
younger.
So it Is clearly evident that the
man selling the registered cattle had
decidedly the advantage. This is not
an exceptional occurrence. 1t Is the
more striking because the parties were
neighbors and the cattle were sold on
the same day. But a comparison of

INFORMATION FOR FARMERS

The farmers of this county should
become familiar with the fact that
when they need extra labor they may
enroll their names with E. R. Hoop
er, Batesville, who is County Clerk of
this county, for he will also enroll
names of laborers who want work
on farms and it will thus be easier
for men and jobs to get together
If farmers are too busy to make O
trip to- the courthouse they can tel
ephone their names in and in this case
they should give the number of their
phone and post office address so that
laborers hunting for work may find
them easily. The laborer, too, may
enroll by telephone if it is not con-
venient to enroll in person.
