LABOR SAVING DEVICES
FOR THE FARM HOME

inexpensive and Practical Appliances
That Simplify Home Management.
Labor may be lightened and time
saved in the farm home by the use of
simple labor-saving devices, which can
be made with an expenditure of but
little time and money" says Miss
Alice s. Hickman of the Extension
Division, Louisiana State University
''The fireless cooker, iceless refrige-
rator, rller-tray wagon. and scrubbing
chariot are not unnecessary Injuries,
but are practical appliances for the
use and comfort of the home-maker
These are but a few of the possibili-
ties which may make home manage
ment on the farm an interesting prob
lem instead of merely a daily round
Of tiresome and disheartening work.
Progressive farmers Of today are
learning how to lessen labor for
themselves and decrease it's cost. The
women are closely following this mod
ern idea. They cannot, however,
solve the allabsorbing problem of
home management unless the houses
are equipped with the labor-saving
conveniences. They cannot work
without tools. When once they are
awakened to their opportunities, how
ever, home management will keen
pace with farm management and even
business management"

PREPARE NOW FOR
FALL PORK PRODUCTION
Most Grazing Crops For Hogs Are
Planted in Spring-Hogs make
Good Gains on Fall Crops.

Indications are that hcgs will Sell
for higher prices next winter than
ever before, and farmers who are pre-
pairing to reap advantage from the
high market prices should not over
look the value of fall grazing crops
in pork production. Most OF these
crops arc planted in the spring. Corn
cowpeas, soy beans, velvet beans, pea
nuts and sweet potatoes are the pria-
cipal fall grazing crops.
Fifty-seven hogs grazed on the Ex-
pertinent Station farm at Baton Rouge
last fall made a gain of 5,2S5 pounds,
or 92.7 pounds each. in seventy<tlve
days. beginning September II, when
the average weight was 95.9 pounds,
they were grazed for twenty days on
four acres of corn and soy beans, sew
enteen days on four acres Of corn and
peanuts, twenty-seven days on four
acres of sweet potatoes, and eleven
days on another four acres OF corn and
soy beans. At the end of the grazing
period, December II, they were ship
ped to a Texas market and brought
$l0.10 per hundred-the top OF the
market for the day. The loss by shrink
age en- route tc market was excep'
tionally low, and the meat dressed
out in firm condition; indicating that
pork may be hardened after the hogs
have been partly fnished-off on pea
nuts:
Full information on crops for hogs
Is contained in Circular No. 8, which

DEMONSTRATION METHODS
INCREASE CROP YIELDS

Agents Render Good Service-Oiversi-
fication Practiced-Much Improve
ment in Live Stock.
Louisiana farmers who followed
demonstration methods in 1916 made
much larger crop yields per acre
than the average yields for the en-
tire state. They have put into prac-
tice improved farming methods that
will be of lasting benefit, such as the
field selection Of seed and the rota-
ton of crops.
The farm demonstration agents
have been instrumental, also, in
creating interest in the growing Of
the smaller crop throughout the state,
such as lespedeza, the clovers, vetcll.
sorghum, cowpeas, soybeans, velvet
beans, peanuts, sweet potatoes, Irish
potatoes, fruits and vegetables. They
have given instruction in soil inocu.
lation, terracing, preventing and
treating animal and plant diseases.
spraying orchards, and various other
practices that benefit the farmer.
Their influence has brought about
much improvement In the grade of
livestock in the parishes where they
are employed; large numbers of pure
bred animals for breeding purposes
having been purchased by farmers
upon the agents recommendations.
Other activities of the agents have
to do with the building of dipping
watts and silos; encouraging the use
of improved farming implements; vac
cination and sanitation among live
stock; and finding markets for the
various farm priducts.
Louisiana now has forty-two white
demonstration agents employed iu
forty-three parishes, and four negro
agents working among people Of theil
own race.

ONLY THE CATTLE TICK
TRANSMITS TEXAS FEVER

Ticks Found On Dogs, Rabbits, ETC.,
Are Harmless To Cattle SO Far as
Texas Fever Is Concerned.
Many people, it seems. still believe
that the methods employed In tick
eradication work cannot prove sue
cessful for the reason that small ami
mails, such as rabbits, ETC., which car
ry ticks, cannot be treated for these
parasites.
Such reasoning would be entirely
logical provided all ticks found on all
animals were the same kind of ticks.
True, to the casual observer, all ticks
have a striking similarity in appear
ance; but, as matter of fact, there
ara qu- se a number of different var.e-
ties of ticks, each one being peculiar
to certain animals, but do not develop
on others. But SO far as Texas fever
is concerned, there is only one variety
OF tick in North America that will
transmit the germ of this fever, and
that is the common cattle tick, which
develops only on cattle, horses and
mules. The other ticks which are
found on dogs, rabbits, and other ami
mails, while they all belong to the
tick family, do not affect cattle 70
any extent. and have no connection
whatever with Texas fever; nor are
they considered at all in the caln
paign of tick eradication.
The confusion, or misconception
with regard to the possibility Of ticA
| eradication, seems to have arisen fTo;r
the idea, therefore, that all ticks seer
on all kinds of animals, are one and
the same kind of ticks, which, fortu
nately, is not the case. II it were
so, complete tick eradication, would
indeed, be hopeless undertaking.
1t should be understood, therefore
that the common cattle tick seen c:
cattle, and which natures only OF
cattle. horses and mules, is the onl.
variety that transmits the germ of TIL.
fever, and the only tick that the au
thorities are endeavoring to externli
nate; the others being harmless t
cattle, so far as tick fever is concern
ed. And a seasons regular dipping
at intervals of IA days, should, in mos
cases. eradicate this tick entire!
from parish Or section.
Let us get busy this spring and Sc
how many parishes we can clean u
by tile end OF the coming season, a
delay only adds to the cost Of tn
