which they are protected by. a hard
shell. In this shell the tick remains
from 10 to "A days. A second dip

Effective Solutions.
There are a number Of solutions
which are effective In destroying sheep
ticks. Among these, coal-tar creosote,
cresol, and nicotine dips may be pur-
chased ready-prepared. The lime-sul-
phur-arsenic solution can be made at
home. but 1t is difficult to prepare and
Its poisonous qualities necessitate spe-
clal precautions In Its use. Complete

Of dips and the most effective methods

There is some danger, according to
agricultural authorities. that the sheep
tick may become q source Of consid-
cradle loss to farmers and stockmen
In those localities In which the dipping
practiced for some years In order to
eliminate sheep scab has been largely
discontinued. Dipping for scab has
helped to control the sheep tick in
those localities. which consequently
have been comparatively free from this
pest for q number of years. Now,
however, It appears that sheep ticks
are becoming q nuisance In the areas
where systematic dipping was former
ly carried on. and they are likely to
cause great deal Of damage II steps
are not taken to control them.
Sheep Ars Rsstiesa
The sheep tick II wingless para
site fly which spends It's entire life on
the sheep. It obtains Its food By pune
turing the skin and feeding on the
blood and lymph Of the animal. The
irritation thus caused, especially In
the case Of lambs, Is great. and the
constant drain Of blood may In time
become serious. Infested sheep are so
restless that they do not feed well and
are In general less thrifty than tick
tree hocks. These conditions hamper

WORLD NEEDS WOOL
TO MEET SHORTAGE
Retention Of Entire Lamb Crop Of
This Spring Until 1918 win
Assist Greatly.
tBy MARION WELLER, Minnesota Ex
pertinent Station

(By MARION WELLER, Minnesota Ex.
pertinent Station.)
The world needs wool as never be-
fore. A British authority recently
made the statement that one-thlrd of
the wool supply was going into uni
forms. Now that the United States
has entered the war the proportion
going into uniforms will be still larger.
This will mean less wool for the civil
ian population. How is the wool
shortage to be met?
1t can be met In part, says the live
stock subcommittee of the state COM
mittee on food production and con-
servatlon by the retention of the entire
lamb crop Of this spring until 1918, in
order that the wool clip may be in
creased. 1t can also be met In part by
the use Of the shoddy made from dis
carded clothing, clippings from the
clothing factories and rags that con-
tain wool.
In other countries this latter source
Of wool supply Is regularly counted on.
Remnants such as those mentioned are
baled and sent to shoddy mills, where
they go through a machine that pulls
them apart and delivers the fiber In q
fifty mass. This fiber Is carded again,
spun into yarn and woven into cloth.
Sometimes 1t Is blended with new wool
for the better fabrics. or may be mixed
with cotton for the cheaper fabrics.

IMPORTANT TO FEED
WORK HORSES WELL
Some Good Suggestions Offered
by Oklahoma Expert-AlfaIfa
Is Great Bone Producer.

There was Il time when anything
was good enough for the horse. Agrl-
cultural conditions are gradually
changing With the increase in farm
values, the increase In cost of grain,
and the increased cost OF producing
feed grains as well as roughage, the
question Of feeding the horse Is be-
coming more important all the time,
says w. L. Blizzard Of the department
Of animal husbandry at Oklahoma A.
and NJ. college at Saltwater.
The question of combining feeds
that are economical is probably the
most important question at this time.
On most farms some or all of the fol-
lowing feeds are available for the
work horse: Corn, barley, oats, kafir,
bran, cottonseed meal. llnseed oil meal,
alfalfa hay, oat straw, sudan hay,
prairie hay. timothy and clover hays.
A few suggestions by Mr.. Blizzard
for combining these feeds for horses
work horses or others--are as fol-
lows:
Corn and alfalfa hay are a good
combination, but have tendency to
heat the animal during hot weather.
Oats or bran will counteract this ten
dency. Corn, barley or kafir will give
better results IL combined with bran
and cottonseed meal or oil meal. Oats
added to any Of these feeds will In
crease their efficiency. Oats alone Is
better feed than either corn. kafir or
barley. Oats and bran combined half
and half, are especially well suited for
brood mares and growing horses.
Bran is a good conditioner. Cut straw,
alfalfa hay, sudan hay or prairie hay
can be added to grain mixture and
should constitute from 20 to 25 pounds
of 100-pound combination. These hays
when cut and mixed with the grain add
bulk to the ration and reduce the cost.
The mixture should be dampened with
one-sixth water before feeding.
Alfalfa is great bone producer.
When 1t is used. the amount Of bran
can be reduced In a ration. 1t Is q
mistake to feed alfalfa one day and
some roughage the next.
A 1,5O0-pound work horse should re-
ceive Is pounds Of the grain mixture
daily when at work, and about twelve
pounds Of hay. He will not need so
much hay II cut hay Is supplied In his
grain mixture.
Under no circumstances should o
work horse have all the hay he will eat.
His capacity for roughage seems to
have no limit, and he may do himself
Injury II allowed free access to an un-
limited supply.
