SIhePp-Tick Control.

There is some danger according to
agricultural authorities, that the
sheep tick may become a source OF
considerable 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 helped to control the
sheep tick in those localities, which
consequently have been comparative
ly free from this pest for a number
of years. Now, however, it appears
that sheep ticks are becoming a nuis-
ance in the areas where systematic
dipping was formerly carried on, and
they are likely to cause great deal
of damage if steps are not taken to
control them.
The sheep tick is a wingless para
site fly which spends its entire life
on the sheep. 1t obtains its food by
puncturing 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 and
are in general less thrifty than tick
free flocks. These conditions hamper
the growth of wool and in general
lower the market value of the sheep.
From purely economic point of view
therefore. dipping is a profitable
practice.
Two dirpings are regarded as nee
essary on account of the life habits
of the tick. The first dipping will
destroy all the mature ticks on the
animal, but it can not be depended
on to destroy those in the pupal
stage, in which they are protected by
a hard shell. In this shell the tick
remains from 10 to "a days. A Sec
ond dipping, therefore, "a days after
the first will find these insects in an
unprotected state, having emerged
from the pupal in the interval be-
tween the clippings.
There are a number of solutions
which are effective in destroying
sheep ticks. Among these coal-tar
creosote, cresol, and nicotine dips |
may be purchased ready prepared.

Bulletin 79S, The Sheep Tick.
The cost of dipping varies consid-
erably, depending upon the cost of !
labor, fuel, and material. In the
sections of the West,
IT may be estimated at from
2 10 Y cents a head for each dip
ping. Where only a few sheep are
kept. a portable galvanized-iron vat
may be used or canvas dipping bag.
Where large focks are cared for,
however, or where a farmer is in the
sheep business permanently. it is best
to provide proper facilities for the
work, and a permanent dipping vat

Brood sows, regardless of the stage
of pregnancy, may be safely treated
for hog cholera, according TO special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture. If infection has al
ready appeared in a herd, it is gen.
orally conceded that without treat
ment the loss will be from so to So
per cent of the herd, and that preg-
nant will likely abort, while sows
that live through disease will not
breed until they have recovered fully
Even if the disease does cause the
sows to abort, the treatment may
bring the sows through and enable
them to recover more rapidly than il
they were not treated.
The best method of incubation
for brood sOws-whether by the
simultaneous or serum-alone treat
ments-is a matter of choice, the
specialists say, as the results have
been practically the same in field eX-
periments with both methods. In
this connection department special
lists point out that the simultaneous
treatment, when properly applied to
healthy brod sOws, does not produce
sterility, as some persons may be-
lieve. The fact that hyperimmune
sows-that is, sows that are used for
serum production and have received
enormous doses of hog-cholera virus
generally farrow normal litters,
confirms this statement, the special
lists say.
Don't have an empty preserving
jar in your neighborhood next fall.
If you have more preserving jars
than you con fill, lend them TO a
neighbor who will make them work
for the Nation.

put up surplus products from your

, mediate consumption and by preser-
walton by canning, drying, or in other
ways, so that no good food will be
wasted.
"A very material saving can be eff
fected in the food bill in many in
stances by having the meals consist of
grown vegetables and less extensive
" of the nonperishable foods bought
from grocery stores. BY following
this plan also garden owners will re-
lieve somewhat the demand for the
nonperishable foods.
Even with liberal use in the FAM
lily diet in a fresh state, however,
there will be considerable SURPRISES
of vegetables from many home gard
ems. These should be saved in some
way. Canning is the method most
usually employed, but it is possible
that cans and jars can not be OBJ
tanned in sufficient quantities this year
to pack the surplus perishables. In
such cases many products easily can
be preserved by drying.
"By this method surplus water is
driven off by placing sliced products
on trays in the sun, over a stove, or
before an electric fan. The dried
foods can be kept perfectly in paper
bags or boxes sufficiently tight to
exclude insects. Soaking in water will
bring the products back practically
to their original texture and they
may then be cooked like fresh vege-
tables.
I'm putting up vegetables and
fruits for future use the home gard
ener may find the following sug-
gestions useful:
IF you can obtain cans and jars
only in limited numbers, can toma-
toes and other vegetables which can
not be dried easily and such fruits as
you prefer in a juicy form. Where
ever possible concentrate succulent
foods, such as tomatoes.
Preserve or jam the fruits and
berries which you prefer in that form
and put them in glasses sealed with
paraffin or wide-necked bottles.
Put fruit juices in ordinary bot
ties.
DRY practically any common vege- !
table except asparagus, eggplant, |
radishes, lettuce, and the like, and !
most fruits except strawberries and !
native grapes. The more important /
of the vegetables that are usually !
dried are sweet corn, snap and string
beans, shelled beans, shelled peas, Z
and the root crops. Tomatoes, though /
in large part of water, are .
dried successfully by many immi- ,
grants from southern Europe
"If considerable number of cans
Dr. jars are at your disposal so that .
may be canned be sure to .
include the more nutritious, such as
green beans and peas"

sufficient reason for our going to
war must be found in the belief
that we could thus contribute best
to the cause of justice and righ t,
and of established peace for all the
world as well as for ourselves with
Russia doing her full part, an d
the assurance that she will sup
port her new and capable Liberal
