CONTROLLING LICE ON HOGS
Important Factor in Development OF
Animals-Crude Oil Gives Salts
factory Results.

Kansas State Agricultural College)
Control Of lice on hogs is an impor-
tant factor in their development. Crude
OIL not only kills lice. but in addition
destroys the nits, softens the skin
and brightens the hair.
Many hog dips are on the market,
which are widely used, but the use
Of crude oil gives more satisfactory
results, in the opinion of Ray Gate
wood, instructor in animal husbandry
IA the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege. This oil may be applied by the
use of patent hog oilers, but as rule
these are not satisfactory for they are
expensive and many do not apply the
oil in satisfactory manner.
One of the most satisfactory meth
DDS of applying crude oil is to drive
as many of the hogs as possible at
one time into an Enclosure in which
there is a cement floor. Oil may then

FAV0RITE BREEDS OF GEESE
China Has Abundance of White Feath-

Emden Is Popular.

China geese are said to be the old
est of all breeds. Their feathers are
very abundant and of swan's-down tex
ture; snow-white, with flexible quilts.
People who pick the live geese report
the yearly yield of one pound and
over. They originated in China, where
for centuries they have been bred to
lay. They begin to lay when six months
old. They are good breeders when one
year old, as they mature so early.
Emden geese are also pure white
and their flesh is white, firm and free
from down or pin feathers. They are

There appears to be some mystery
about the origin of gold leaf. 1t is
found, for example, in connection
with the most ancient known num-
mics. having been used for covering
teeth, tongue, skin, etc. Sometimes IL
is also found on the collins. Gold leaf
was also used on the tombs and monu-
ments of ancient Egypt. The process
of making gold leaf has thus been
known since the eighth century, b. {.
In the eleventh century it seems TO
have attained as high a degree of per-
lection as today. The gold leaf on
some ancient Grecian pottery. indeed,
is as thin as that now used.

Ducks may be fed on the rations

but better results are usually secured
by feeding more green and vegetable
feeds and larger proportion of mash.
Ducklings do not need feed until they
are from twenty-four to thirty-six hours
old. After this they should be fed for
the first week five times q day; after
that, four times a day until they are

Double mating is a serious neces..

long run works detriment to the
welfare of the breed. Fanciers should

It will be necessary to plant a sue

Cheap pork cannot be produced in
