vERMIN INJURIOUS TO SWINE
Normal Development Cannot Be OBJ
tained From Animals Infested
With Lice-Some Remedies.

Close observation will prove that
many hogs are lousy. Lice are very
injurious, especially to pigs. Normal
development cannot be obtained from
swine infested with lice. The follow
ing home mixtures are recommended
for Kidding swine of lice:
1. Equal parts of kerosene and ma
chine oil.
2. Crude oil thinned with kerosene.
8. Make up a soapy water by STIR
ring laundry soap in hot water. To
two gallons Of this mixture add n
quart of kerosene.
Numerous coal tar preparations or
dips are on the market. These should
give satisfactory results If used as
per directions.
See hat head, ears and TANKS are
well sprayed.
Sleeping quarters must be kept
clean. Sprinkle floor and bedding with
kerosene.
This treatment should be repeated
every two weeks until lice disappear,
then repeat every FIVE or six weeks to
keep down infestation.
In addition to keeping stock free of
lice dipping at regular intervals aids
greatly in preventing diseases.

VARIETY OF FEED REQUIRED
Tastes and I%nelinations of Live Stock
Should Be Consulted So Far
as lie Practicable.

Provide a variety of feeds; this has
been found to agree with the appe-
tiles and tastes Of the animals. The
tastes and inclinations of the stock
should be consulted in so far as prac-
tcable, especially in the quality of
feed; quantity will never make up for
lack Of quality. There is nothing that
will exceed the green grass Of nature
for the horse, the COW, the sheep or
the hog. This has its period and
makes an excellent balanced ration.
1t is an antidote for almost all the Ills
and ailments of the animal, especially
those caused by a season on dry feed.
abuse and starvation after a severe
winter. AS a final admonition for a
lack Of feed, never start into the win
ter with more stock than your supply
of feed will abundantly supply. The
harvest is abundant and there is time
to save feed.

WAYS OF APPLYING CHAINS
Novice Will Jack UP Wheel, But Ex-
perienced Motorist Will Drape
IL Over Wheel.

"The novice jacks up his wheel to
put on a chain-not so the experienced
motorist. There are two ways of ap-
plying the chain. One is to drape 1t
over the wheel. the other is to lay it
on the ground and run the car owe 1t.
The latter method, apart from the diff
ficulty of steering straight over
something you cannot see, has the
added disadvantage that the chain on
a muddy road is in bad condition to
handle. So drape it over the wheel
and you will have a much cleaner job.
Apply it in such a way that the points
of the cross links are away from the
tire, so as 10 prevent them from cut
ting into it.

HAWAIIANS OWN $3.50 CARS
Represent Investment Of S~6,25o,ooo
and Automobile Field Is Grow
ing Very Rapidly.

There are $3.50 motor car vehicles
registered in the territory of Hawaii.
OF this number 3,465 are registered on
the island of Oaku, 500 On Mani, $50
on Kauai and 1,50O on Hawaii. These
numbers represent an investment of
S6,250.OOO. The department of com
merce gives figures which indicate
that the automobile field is rapidly
growing larger in Hawaii and that
the number of machines imported is
constantly increasing. During the
month of March, 1917, there were 90
automobiles imported, at a valuation
of S204,400, against 1T machines dur
ing the same month the year previous.
at a total valuation of $153,S42.

tion of stores, chiefly by providing a
sufficiently high surrounding temper
ature.
In mild climates, in which there are
frequent days when bees can fly and
rid themselves of feces, the injurious
effects of poor stores are less notice
able, because the feces do not accu-
mulate sufficiently to cause abnormal
activity. The accumulation of feces
Is to be considered as an %irritant, caus-
Ing responses similar to disturbance
by Earring or exposure to light.
Proper Insulation.
The exact method of packing is not
especially important, provided enough
insulation is given on all sides. Colo
MES may be packed slngly in any sort
of box, OF they may be packed In
groups of four. Some ~beekeepers ar
range colonies in long rows and apply
insulation to the whole row. The plac-
ing of several hives in contact has
the advantage that the colonies insul-
ate n another. If arranged in groups

manipulated during summer. If in
long rows close together, summer ma
n%ipulations are impeded. unless the
hives are moved after the insulation
is removed. Placing colonies in long
rows is therefore not advisable. What
ever type of outer case is used, 1t
should be tight, to prevent rain and
snow from wetting the insulating ma-
terial.
If the bees do not have sufficient
stores, they may be given combs of
honey, but these should always be
given before cold weather, so that n
proper cluster space may be formed
by the moving of honey, since bees al
ways cluster in empty cells of the
comb adjacent to stores.
Feed Sugar Sirup.
If honey in combs is not available,
the bees may be fed extracted honey,
but the usual practice is to feed n
thick sugar strip made of two or two
and one-half parts of sugar TO one
part of water by volume. To this
strip one ounce of tartaric acid should
be added for each 40 to go pounds Of
sugar while the strip is being heat
ed to the boiling point to dissolve the
sugar crystals. The sirup should be
| boiled IS minutes. The acid helps to
invert the cane sugar, thus retarding
| its granulation in the comb. If there
is any question as to the quality of
the stores, 1t is a good practice to feed
ten pounds of strip at the time OF
packing, in addition to the stores pro-
| vided earlier, this being stored imme-
| diately above the cluster. 1t is thu
used first, and an accumulation of
| feces does not occur so long as the
bees use only the sugar strip. There
is. however, no better food in winter
than a good quality of honey. AS was
| stated earlier, honey-dew honey causes
a rapid accumulation Of feces. result
ing in dysentery. If this is present In
| the fall, 1t should be removed and bet
ter stores given. Some fall honeys
are similarly injurious, but their In
furious effects may be reduced by reed
ing strip at the time of packing.

SWINE OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
Hogs Fit Into Modern Scheme o.
Farming on Nearly Every Farm
Excel as Money Getter.

No branch Of live stock farming is
more productive of satisfactory re-
suits than the raising of wellbred
swine, If conducted with q reasonable
care. Hogs fit into the modern scheme
of farming on nearly every farm. and
are n Of the most important ami
mails to raise both for meat and for
money. They require less labor, less
equipment, and less capital, make
greater gains per hundred pounds of
concentrated feed, reproduce them
selves faster and in greater numbers,
and give a quicker turnover of money
than any other animal except poultry.

FARM HORSE WORKED
TO UTMOST CAPACITY
Wise Use of Animal Is of Vital
Concern to Farmer, Says
Agricultural Department.

CFrom the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
The horse that works 1000 hours a
year and costs 800 for feed, shelter,
etc, is cheaper than the horse that
costs but SIS for keep and works u
500 hours. The former costs but 1O
cents per hour worked, while the lat
ter costs Is cents. Wise use of the
farm horse to his fullest working ca
pacity is thus of vital concern to the
farmer, according to United States
department of agriculture bulletin 800,
lust issued. "Cost of Keeping Farm
Horses and Cost of Horse Labor" EN-
bodying the results of the study or
the records for 316 horses on q farms
in Illinois, Ohio, and New York.
In Illinois 154 horses on 10 farms
showed an average yearly cost for
keep of $10O.65. The average yearly
hours worked per horse were l,Oo3
and the cost per hour worked o.56
cents. Records for 70 horses In ONO
showed an average cost of keep per
horse 500, and cost per hour 1900
cents. In New York the average year
ly cost per horse of so horses on 10
farms was $145.O2, average hours
worked 1920, and average cost per
hour 1922 cents.

TO PREVENT cHAFED TUBES
In Changing Tires Be Certain They
Are Sound-Weak Spots Will
Blow Out Readily.

In case of a blowout, examine the
tube you are going to use very care
fully. 1t may have lain in the car for
several months, and got oil or grease
on it, making a weak spot, which will
readily blow out when pumped up.
Look especially for worn spots where
the tube has been chafed. They should
be covered with n gasoline patch or
some tire putty. When a spare tube
is placed in the car 1t should be in n
bag or have a cloth wrapped around
it and be blocked in such a way that
it cannot chafe.

Protect Tires.

Tires should be protected from the
frozen roadbeds. Discarded castings
will render efficient service as covers,
taking most of the punishment of the
winter roads, and also increasing the
tire diameter and bearing surface, thus
making progress through the snow less
difficult. The heads of the castings are
removed. Coppered clinch rivets hold
the castings securely in place, as de-
tailed.
