small Farms Grow Hogs.

That the size nj the farms of any
country has an important bearing
upon the production and the mar.
keting Of meat arimsls is shown by
an investigation Of the Department
of Agriculture of the United States.
Cheap cattle and sheep were posi-
bic in the United States just so long
as wide ranges existedsin The West.
Of late years with the breaking up
OF the ranges into smaller farms.
the production of both beef and NUT
ton have decreased. while the pro
duction of pork has been on the in
crease. Every civilized nation has
gone through practically this same
experience in the production OF mea;

Wormy Horses DO Not Thrive.

HCDlN IhtlStS Do +f'N hhiNN'
Many horses lose condition, or fail

because they are infected with
worms. This is especially true of
colts. Horses suffering from worms
generally have good appetite, but
apparently benefit little from the
food eaten.
There may be no symptoms which
point conclusively TO worms, but this
trouble is SO common that If the colts
and horses are not doing as well as
they should for the feed given, a
worm remedy may prove of decided
value. In treating horses for worms,
DR.. l.. S. Backus, Of the University
OF Missouri College OF Agriculture,
suggests, Il is well to keep In mind
that the drug Is meant for the worm
rather than the horse and should.
therefore, be given In as concentrat-
ed form as possible. To insure this,
little or no bulky food should be fed
during the course of treatment, and
as the parasites are stupehed By
worm remedies rather than killed.
the animals bowels should be kept
in an active condition so that the
stupefed worms may be passed out
before they regain their vitality. A
well-salted bran mash once day will
generally insure such an action.
The following formula is worm
remedy, which is also Of value as 4

ROYALTY ENTERTAINED
VETERANS AT CHICKASHA
By "Bak"

Captain W. r. Wood has returned
from Chickasha where he attended the
annual Oklahoma reunion Of Confeder-
ate Veterans. He states that he was
disappointed that so few Of the veterans
and Sons and Daughters from Ardmore
attended and that they missed one Of
the most enjoyable reunions ever held
in the state. Chickasha people met the
veterans with open arms. Autos were
provided for rides to any part OF the
city. They were taken care Of in the
way of meals and beds. cold drinks
were free to them In every direction
they turned-but that was not all. The
congeniality and hospitality Of the peo.
pie Of Chickasha on this occasion is
without a parallel In the state. As IL
touched by the sentiment Of the present
war the women showered every courte.
sy upon the veterans They were given
flowers. they were met with winsome
smiles each morning and throughout
the day some maiden or matron of
Chickasha stood at one elbow all day
long to observe an opportunity to rem.
der some service. The Chickasha reun.
ion will long be remembered. said Cap.
tain Wood, and no city in the state can
ever be more thoughtful Of the old sol.
diers.
