FOR LIVE STOCK
Avoid Making Lots or Fields Too
Small as Land Is Cheap and Album.
dant-Plan a Succession.

In making pastures for grazing the
live stock next summer let us avoid
making the lots or fields too small.
Land Is cheap and abundant. A lib
eral allowance can be made for the
hogs and the calves, the cattle and
the mules and there will still be left
land for the growing Of cotton and
corn and other necessary crops. The
average man who makes a pasture
for the hogs uses less than half the
land necessary and the pastures for
cattle considering the grass they do
not contain should usually be en-
larged three or four fold. If the cat
tie pasture is large enough one will
do fairly well, but two, which will
permit change Of the cattle and all
low the grasses to get fresh start
are better; while several large lots

crops for the hogs are necessity

is VERY THINLY POPULATED
South America, With 100000 Square
Miles Of Territory, Has Only
100000 Inhabitants.

South America is thinly populated.
The Spanish and Portuguese govern
ments, which divided South America
between themselves in 1494, made. lit
tie effort to attract immigration OF
their own people and denied admission
to peoples of other lands. The lands
were administered as crown colonies.
Large land grants were made to court
favOrites. There was little opportu-
nifty for individual enterprise, even il
the continent had been open to enter
prfsing men.
1t was only after the Latin repub-
lies had thrown off the rule Of Spain
and Portugal that South America
threw open her doors to the immigra-
ton of the world. But revolutions and
epidemics decimated the populations,
and the continuance of the great land
holdings, which we're just being brok-
en- up, prevented the close setting Of
the country, so that even now South
America, with an area of 7,276,000
square miles as against North Amer
ica's 3,559,99, has a population Of
only about 100000.
Yet she has millions Of acres of soil
as rich as the world knows, and mines
whose richness passes belief, and wa
terways reaching to the heart Of the
continent, and opportunities almost un-
measured.

ERADICATION OF CATTLE TICK in SOUTH

an belong to the tick family, do not af-
feet cattle to any extent, and have no
connection whatever with Texas fever
nor are they considered ut all IN the
campaign Of tick eradication.
The confusion, or misconeeption,
with regard to the possibility Of tick
eradication, seems to have arisen from
the idea, or belief, that all ticks seen,
or found, on all kinds of animals, are
one and the same kind of ticks, which,
fortunately, is not the case. If 1t were
SO, complete tick eradication would, In
deed, be a hopeless undertaking.
It should be understood, therefore,
that the common cattle tick seen on

cattle, horses and mules, is the onlv

TAKING CARE OF PIGS
Ration, Sunshine and Exercise
Are Three Essentials.
Management Of Young Animals Is an
Important Factor In Making Profit
From Them-Provide Sow Com
Portable Quarters.

That the care and management of
young pigs is an important factor In
making a profit from them, is the be-
lief of Ray Gatewood, instructor in
animal husbandry in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
"A SOW should receive special care
and attention at narrowing time" said
Mr.. Gatewood. Just after she has
narrowed, feed her lightly for few
days. Gradually increase the feed as
the pigs develop.
"The ration at this time should be
such as to produce heavy flow Of
milk. A good ration is one made up of
corn, shorts, bran, small amount Of
tankage, and good quality Of alfalfa
which should be fed from rack. Bran
may make up approximately 10 per
cent Of the ration as 1t seems to have a
beneficial effect on the digestive sys-
TEN and tends to increase the milk
production.

be governed largely by her appetite.
Tankage should not be fed to exceed 5
per cent. Corn may make up half the
ration as it tends to prevent sows
from becoming exceedingly thin.
"See also that she and her little ones
are provided with clean, comfortable
quarters. Direct sunshine Is impor-
tant in sleeping quarters. Exercise is
another requirement in maintaining
perfect physical condition.
"Pigs should be watched closely for
sore mouths, especially in large filters.
It Is sometimes advisable to clip the
tusks from the pigs, thus preventing
them from scratching each other. In
case of sore mouth, wash the part fire.
uuently and thoroughly with some dis
lnfectant. Vaseline, containing small
amount of a stock dip, makes a desir-
able ointment to apply after the nose
has been washed"

many years by standard medical books

TIME TO WORK ON TERRACES
In Early Spring When Heavy Rains
Start Small GuIIles Farmer
Should Patch Breaks.
fclenson college Rnlletin.l

During early spring heavy rains
start small gulIies down the sides Of
our fields. During such weather, no
blowing or other work in the way of
soil preparation can be done. The
time can be most proftabIy spent ON
the terraces. The farmer should take
a shovel and walk around the terraces
between showers and patch the small
breaks, and save time. If left such
small places win grow more each time
1t rains, and in comparatively short
time, these small leaks will cause q lot
of soil washing. !

Washington.-A war revenue bill de-
signed to raise $1,sO0,0OO,OOO by tax
alton during the coming year was APP
proved finally in the house ways and
means committee Tuesday by unahi-
nous vote and reported to the house
Wednesday.
In the meantime the senate finance
committee is holding public hearings
on the bill, with q view to being ready
to report soon after the house acts.
To bring the amount to be raised
up to the desired total, the house com
mittee wrote into the bill a fiat in
crease of 10 per cent in all existing
tariff duties and 10 per cent duties
on all articles now admitted free, all
estimated to bring In S240,0O0,OOO, this
more than doubling the present tariff
revenues.
In addition it was decided to make
all income-tax increases retroactive,
beginning with the present calendar
year. Other taxes provided for would
become effective upon the signing of
the bill.
The income-tax increases, applying
to both personal and corporation in
comes, are designed to produce $685.

Income and Profits.
Most Of the new revenue will come

Increase In Supertaxes.
The war income tax section would
double the present normal tax of 2
per cent on individuals and 3 per cent
on corporations. 1t would lower the
exemption of individual incomes from
$4,000 to $1,000 in the case of married
persons and from $1,000 to $1,000 for
the unmarried.
In addition; beginning with incomes
