PROPER RATION FOR SH0TES
Mixture of Corn, Wheat Shorts and
Tankage Is Recommended by Ex-
pert Of Oklahoma Station.

CIV. L. FOWLER, Oklahoma Station)
An excellent ration for young shotes
is one consisting of a mixture of corn, {
wheat shorts and tankage. The first
two months feed these grains in the
following proportions by weight:
Corn, four parts; shorts, two parts;
tankage, one part. The second tw,
months feed the following proportions:
Corn. six parts; shorts, two parts;
tankage, one part. During the last
two months feed the following pro-
portions: Corn, nine parts; shorts,
two parts; tankage, one part.
would mix this together and mois-
ten with water. This will be a WELL
balanced ration and the pigs should
be fed twice a day just as much Of
this mixture as they will clean up well.
The younger the pigs the more rich
feed or protein substances they need.
During the last few weeks Of the fat
tening period they will do better and
put more fat on with greater proper
ton of corn in the ration. If you have
no corn you can Substitute kafir or fe-
terita. 1t would be well, Of course, to
grind all the grain.

| ROTATE TO ERADICATE PESTS
Most Available and Economical -Pt1ZS
In Control Of Intestinal Worms =
and Fever Tick.

(By G. M. BENTLEY, Associate Ento-
pertinent Station.)
In sections affected with contagious
diseases Of live stock pasture rotation.
Is essential. In the control of stomach
and intestinal worms in sheep, hogs
and cattle, intelligent rotation covering
definite periods, based upon longevity
and life history Of the pests, is now
recognized as the most available and
economical plan.
The fever cattle tick may be perma-
nently eradicated by positive rotation.
1t has been found that If cattle and
horses. are removed from a pasture
during the summer months 1t becomes
free from ticks. During the winter II
infested cattle are run upon a cornfield
or other cultivated field upon which no
animals have been during the summer
all the ticks will drop off, after which
the animals may be placed upon the
pasture that was freed of ticks dur
Ing the previous summer. The Ten
nessee experiment station has pre-
pared a bulletin upon the eradication
Of the tick by pasture rotation meth
DDS, which may be had on application.

The dasheen, root crop introduced
into this country from Trinidad within
recent years by the United States de-
partment of agriculture, is now grown
by a considerable number of farmers
and truckers in the South, and prom
Uses to become valuable member OF
the group of domestic vegetables such
as the potato which furnish starchy
foods. The new vegetable is closely
related to the taro, which is an impor-
tant factor in the food supply In por-

self primarily tropical plant. 1t can
be grown successfully, however, not
only in the warmer portions of Florida,
but in other sections of the South as
far north as South Carolina. The edible
portion of the plant includes a large
central CORN and a number Of tubers,
Of much smaller size, attached to and
around the CORN.
The value of the dasheen, it is be-
lieved, will be as crop supplemental
to rather than a substitute for the po-
tato. The fact that the dasheen ma
lures in the fall when potatoes must be
obtained from Northern producing sec
lions should make the new plant es-
pecially valuable in the economics OF
the Southern farmer.
In food value the dasheen is COM
parable to the potato, though it con-
tains smaller proportion Of water
and a greater proportion of protein
starch and sugar than the latter. The
new vegetable may be prepared for the

table as potatoes usually are, or may
be made into flour and used in baking.
The tender shoots forced from the
large corms may be prepared like as
paragus, and make a pleasing dish In
that form.
Culture and Handling Of Dasheens.
The dasheen is grown from whole
tubers weighing a few ounces. They
require a frOstless season of at least
seven months with plenty of moisture.
A moist but well-drained, rich, sandy
loan has been found to be satisfac-
tory soil for dasheen culture. A large
proportion of either clay or muck In
the soil produces trong-favored, tough
cOrms which are often unfit for table
use. Large crops are produced under
such conditions, however, and make ex-
cellent stock feed.
The crop is planted in February In
southern Florida and as late as the
early part of April In South Carolina.
The plants are spaced about 31s by 31s
feet. Dasheens may be dug for home
use by the middle Of September and
the main crop can be harvested at any
time after the last of October. The
clumps of tubers are left on the sur
face of the ground for several days to
dry. The tops and small roots are
then broken off and the dasheens
placed in storage.
The dasheen is good shipper and is
handled by the carriers at the same
freight rates as potatoes. The vege-
table has already found its way into a
number of northern markets.

PARASITES IN SWINE
Mixture Recommended by Expert
at Oklahoma College.
Many Breeders Use Straight Arsenic,
Form Known as Arsenous Acid Be-
ina Most Commonly Employed
-Turpentine ls Good.

By w. P. SHULER, Department OF
Veterinary Medicine, Oklahoma A. and
M. College, Stillwater.)
Treatment Of hogs for the kidney
worm is usually of little or no avail.
According to different reports. seven
out Of ten hogs slaughtered Will De In
tested either in the region of the kid
neys, lungs, the intestinal tract or cir
culatory system. For intestinal para
sites a mixture like the following will
give good results:
Powdered nux vomica 1 part, pow
dered calcium sulpho-carbolate 1 part.
powdered black anthony one-half part
powdered charcoal parts, common
salt 2 parts, gentian 1 part, oil meal z
parts.
Many cases of infestation by para
sites is charged up to hog cholera. 100
little attention is paid to parasitic
troubles. AS to the arsenic treatment
for kidney worms, there is much dis
pute about its efficiency. Many breed
ers use The straight arsenic, the form
known as arsenous acid being most
commonly employed. 1t is given In III
to 2O-grain doses. A teaspoonful OF
arsenic would be sufficient dose for a
half dozen average-sized hogs. Care
should be exercised In its use, and IL
ought to be stirred into slop, or II
mixed with mashes care should be
taken that the mixture Is quite COM
plete. This treatment is continued Tor
eight or ten days at time. Some
seem to think that where arsenic is
beneficial, the parasites are not To-
Gated in and around the kidneys, but
rather on account of the purging and
vomiting produced by large-sized doses
of arsenic. the parasites are located IN
the stomach and intestines. or the bile
ducts of the liver. Excessive purging
and vomiting would have tendency to
eliminate them. Turpentine is also
thought to have a beneficial action. a
teaspoonful Of oil Of turpentine for
each hog twice or three times daily fol
a period of eight or ten days should Dc
given. The best method, however, o,
handling conditions Of this sort Is Y
keen the animals away from infected
feed and pens. II they feed on acorns
keep plenty Of copperas and charcoal
especially charcoal, convenient fol
them to eat. The formula for para
sites in general has given very good re
suits.

Country People.

They stick to the thing in hand; and
this Is the vital quality of a great
people. They work. Life Is a stiff
thing for most Of them, but few Of
them shirk it. 1t comes to them as
slow-mOving drama. The looker-on
is inclined to think it is a common
place drama, but when he knows a
little more Of 1t he sees how it is
marked by somber and real tragedies !;
not melodrama. not hysterical revolts,
but events which have all the quality
of natures tragedies, and everywhere
ripple of comedy plays through the
drama. Sometimes, to be sure, it
bursts out in something like horse
play. but as rule 1t is a continuous
current Of humorous appreciation of
the life around.-Ida NJ. Tarbell In the
