PREPARING SOIL FOR WHEAT
Quite as Much Depends on Preimi-
nary Work for Best Development
as on Use of Fertilizer.

Quite as much depends upon the
proper preparation of the soil for the
best development of plants as the use
OF fertilizers. A case in point is that
of an intelligent Missouri farmer who
lived in section where the idea pre-
vailed that wheat could not be profit
ably grown there. He had tried TO
raise wheat on his farm, In the old
rough way, and could get but ten or
twelve bushels per acre. He visited
the state experiment station at time
when a plot of ground was being pre-
pared for wheat and became so i'm
pressed with their thorough methods
Of soil preparation that he prepared
field on his farm in the same way,
and from this harvested a crop of 81
bushels of good wheat per acre, the
only fertilizer used being stable ma
nure.

HOGS INFESTED WITH WORMS
Animal Cannot Produce Pork Economl-
caliy While in Weakened co,ldi-
tion-Remedy Is Given.

A hog that is infested with worms
cannot produce pork economically, be-
cause its system is not in normal con-
dltion. Furthermore. such a hog is
also more susceptible to contagious
and other diseases than one not af-
lected in that manner We have of
ten made the statement that worms
are frequently the indirect cause of
cholera. Do not understand us to
say that worms will produce cholera,
says writer In an exchange. Far
from 1t. Cholera is a germ disease
ana can be produced only by the chol-
era germ, but a strong, vigorous hog
Is not nearly so susceptible to cholera
as Is one whose system is in a run
down condition.
A very good. practical remedy for
worms consists in feeding one pound
OF copperas to 100 pigs for a period
OF five days. Then feed no copperas
for six weeks; after that feed COP
peras for five days again as before and
continue this intermittent cOpperas
feeding from birth TO block. The cop
peras should be dissolved in water
and mixed with the grain, preferably
ground grain of some kind. Many
hog feeders are using this remedy and
recommend it very highly.
