Kill Lice on Hogs

In the growth and development of hogs it sis important to kill the lice. Crude oil is effective for this purpose. for it not only kills the lice but also destroys the nits and makes the skin and hair of the hog soft and bright.
 There are many hog dips on the market, but many of these are unsat- isfactory. Crude oil has been found to give better results. This oil may be applied by the use of patent hog oilers but as rule these are not sat tis- factory for they are expensive and many do not apply the oil evenly.
 One of the most satisfactory meth ods of applying crude oil is to drivo as many of the hogs as possible at one time into an enclosure having cement floor. oil may then be ap- piled to the hogs with an ordinary sprinkling can. The hogs will rub against each other and thus distrib- ute the oil evenly The hogs should not be let out of the enclosure until this Is done.-Earm and Firesida.

Jack still tick infested.

The record-breaking releases this year of southern territory from fed era1 quarantine for cattle fever ticks is tangible proof that difficulties which at first seemed insurmountabie can be banished by determination and hard work.
 Mississippi, which is to be entirely freed this year, offers striking in- stance of difficulty met and sur mounted. In the gulf portion of Mis- sissippi it appeared from the begin ming that the swamps. which usually are several miles wide on both sides of the many rivers and streams, had raised an impossible barrier to the tick work. In these swamps are num- bers of small ponds or lakes. The ridgy land between them is covered with dense cane and pines with patches of heavy timber. Hurricanes have blown down many trees, which are now cov- cred with vines so thick that solid walls are formed Such Jungles make it impossible to traverse the swampy country by any other means than upon foot and also often make it impos- sible to see more than a few feet away the cattle that have strayed into the wilderness.
 Notwithstanding the hardships ac- companying the dipping of cattle in the Mississippi swamp section, the owners, with the assistance of county inspectors extricated the cattle from the swamps, dipped them and as far as possible prevented them from re- turning until the latter part of the dipping season. Another obstacle in this section arose from the fact that the land is only slightly higher than the Gulf of Mexico and thus became supersaturated with water It was necessary, therefore. to build many of the dipping vats several feet above the earth. increasing the difficulty and expense of the work.
 There can be no greater natural bar riers to tick eradication work than were surmounted in Mississippi, it is claimed by the tick eradicators there, who be- lieve that tick eradication can be accom- plished in any county where the people desire it and work systematically.
 The swamp obstacle was met and likewise surmounted in Alabama. In Baldwin county of that state more than 3o,000 cattle were dipped every two weeks, it being necessary in many instances to transport them from the swampy land. Practically all the cattle in this county were ticky when the dipping began, but the county is found now to be in fit condition for release from quarantine.
 Another kind of obstacle was met in west Texas counties, where the work was retarded by a severe dry spell. Ranchmen in Concho county, loyal sup porters of tick eradication, hauled water for priming vats eight miles, making a round trip of 16 miles. One ranchman was known to have hauled water F miles. a round trip of 24 miles.
 Lack of knowledge, which has con- stituted the greatest obstacle to prog ress in tick eradication. Is being met to such an extent by the educational propaganda that the conditions are re- garded as incomparably better than they were a few years ago. Residents of released areas have testified with good results, and travellers passing from area to area. have been instrumental in spreading the good news.
 A great aid has been found in moving pictures in the cities and in lantern
