FEEDING SWINE OR VERMIN?
coaI-Tar Solution as Dip or Spray
Is Recommended for Treatment
Some Other Remedies.

It has been estimated that 150-
pound hog has $4,000 drops of blood.
If the hog is supporting 1000 lice and
each louise takes one drop of blood per
day, what per cent of the hogs blood
will be lost daily, and who will pay
the bill?
Using a coal-tar solution Il per
cent? as dip or spray, is recon-
mended for treatment, but there
are other mixtures equally effective.
These are: 1, equal parts kerosene and
machine oil mixed together and ap-
piled with an oil can, brush or swab !;
2, crude oil (thinned with kerosene If
too thick) applied with a brush or as
"a spray. Crude oil applied to the
hacks Of the hogs slowly works over
the greater part Of the hogs body, but
should be applied to the ears and both
.hanks.

WINTER CARE OF EVE FLOCK
OF Great Importance in Insu7in9 Lamb
Crop in Springfield Glover or
Alfalfa Hay.

/ The winter care of the flock is i'm
portant to insure lamb crop to be
harvested in the spring. Ewes il good
condition need not be fed grain until
about month before lambing, when
they should gradually be accustomed
ito it. Ewes in thin or poor condition
should receive from one-fourth to one
half pound of grain daily. Corn alone
lis not the best grain ration. a ra-
tion of six parts corn, three parts
wheat bran, and one part linseed Oil
cake, by weight, has proved very salts
factory. A ration of corn, oats, and
bran, equal parts by weight, can also
he recommended.
The sheep should receive as much
tclover or alfalfa hay as they will eat.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1917-03-14

FThe amount of hay eaten can be cut
down by the use of corn silage or CORD
Istover. Two pounds OF clean, sweet
icorn silage can be used to replace
about one pound Of hay. Well cured
corn stover is also relished by the
ewes. Ordinarily, there is little daa-
;ger Of the sheep eating too much. Of it,

greatest danger of corn stover comes
from making it the exclusive feed.

before the flock. Sheep should always

WHEN DOES CAP0NlZlNG PAY!

(By Richard N. Crane, Division of Ex.
tension, University of Tennessee.)
On many farms are cockerels that
have escaped marketing and have de
veloped a shaggy appearance. They
weigh from PA to 8 pounds In many
localities buyers pay hen prices or less
for these chickens that are considered
STACEY.
In Tennessee we have an exception,
ally good market for spring chickens
weighing IL to pounds, and be.
lieve it would pay us to market cock.
eres under 2 pounds rather thar to
caponiZe them. But when our cocker.
els get beyond two pounds, and buyers
are not willing to use them at the
regular spring chicken price, it may
pay US to make capons OF them and
carry them through the winter, dispos
ing of them in the early spring az
roasting chickens. Capons generally
sell for the same price as turkeys.

Poultry Pointers

/, Feed at regular hours and the fowls
will always be ready and waiting for
their last meal.
! Pit the windows in the poultry
house low down near the floor, SO that
the hens will get the benefit of the
light and sunshine when scratching tor
their feed.
The chaff that settles beside the
straw stack at threshing time makes
splendid winter litter in which to feed
the small grain. Have 1t about SIX
inches deep all over the hen-house
floor.
All perches in the poultry-h0nse
should be built on level. when Dullt
one above another, step-fashion, the
hens will fight for the higher perches
with the result that some of them will
become injured or eggs will be broken
In them.
Grit or lime is absolutely necessary
for egg production. 1t is always well
to have a large pile of sand and gravel
handy, where the fowls can help
themselves.
Milk is a good feed for hens. Give
all the milk they will consume. The
hens will not only lay well, but Will
keep in strong vigorous state OF
health.
You should no more think of keep
ing n common mixed flock of mongrel
chickens than you would buy or care
for chance seeding fruits, wholly I'M
known and untried.
While the weather is dry, the pour
trvman should store away several bar
rels Cf road dust TO be used in the
dust boxes during the winter months
Thoroughbred fowls are the only
profitable sort to keep, no matter
what you keep them for.
Be sure that early pullets and mems
that have moulted get plenty OF the
right kind of food.
The advantage of keeping one breed
of poultry is that one can market uni
form product in eggs and stock.

Plans to Make Waves Supply
the Power to Propel Boats

A system of driving vessel by
means of wave motors is covered III
a recent patent granted to Benjamin
p. Roach of Berkeley, Cal, who pro-
noses to make use of the motion OF the
waves as we'll as the rocking OF the
boat to store up the necessary power
TO drive the craft through the water.
This accumulation of power is accom-
pIisEed mainly by the means Of false
bow pivoted to the main part of the
ship's structure, and a somewhat SINH
lar arrangement in the stern of the
vessel.
The bow and stern form loose poF-
lions which are actuated by every
plunge of the vessel and with each
movement of these parts air compress
ing pistons are operated, and guam
tity of compressed air is forced into
tanks. and subsequently drawn upon
for the propulsion of the vessel.

BUY MORE LIVE STOCK
RATHER THAN MORE LAND
(By c. d. Lowe, Division of Extension
University of Tennessee, Knox
Ville)

(By C. d. Lowe, Division of Extension
University of Tennessee, Knox
ville.)
That live stock pays on the farms Of
nearby state may be seen by the fol
lowing figures secured from eighty-ont
farms in one community. The farms
were not selected farms, but were
taken as they lay along the road.
These farms were divided into three
groups according to the amount of live
stock kept. One-third of the farms
we're found to have over 20 head each
OF cattle, or their equivalent Tin
amount of feed consumed) in hogs
sheep or other productive live stock
one-third had between II and 20 head
each; one-third had less than II head
The heavier stocked farms returned
a profit for the year of STA more than
those with the small amount OF live
stock.
Another community selected at ran
dom showed nearly the same proper
ton. Live stock furnishes way tC
increase the volume of farm business
without increasing the farm area
Through live stock much of the poorer
grades of feed may be utilized to bet
ter advantage than by selling 1t, In
fact much roughage that is ordinarily
wasted can be made to give good re
turns. The manure obtained is essen
tial in maintaining soil fertility.
The above figures offer some food
for thought Ii you are thinking OIL
purchasing additional land, consider
first whether the purchase money
should not go into more live stock for
the land you already own.
