TREATING COLT FOR VERMIN
Most of Lice Powders Will Prove Eff
cient If Used Frequently-Coal-
Tar Dip Is Good.

Care must be taken that the colt
does not become lousy, for no colt will
thrive and make good growth Willie
troubled with lice. If the owner of a
good colt which is not thriving as well
as his feed and management warrant
will make a close examination he will
discover that the young animal is be-
ing eaten up by lice.
Most of the lice powders on the mar
ket will prove very efficient If used
frequently. or one of the coal-tar dip
preparations may he applied asa spray

lice persist this treatment should he

ECONOMIC PASTURE ON FARM
Practical Data Should Be Secured as
to Number of Acres Needed to
Support One Head.

In many cases land is given over
to use as pasture which will not sup
port sufficient stock to make any rea-
sonable return on the investment.
Such land properly belongs in the cat
egory of nonproductive land, in that it
makes no return commensurate with
the interest on the money invested.
It should be borne in mind that the
quality of the pasturage in relation to
the land value is an important con-
sideration in choosing farm. For
instance, what is economic pasture on
land that is worth $40 per acre might,
on land valued at $100 an acre, be, de-
cidedly uneconomic. This relation
should be carefully studied in buying
farm with much pasture land. To
determine whether pasture land is eco
nomic or not practical data should
be secured as to the number of acres
necessary to support one head of stock
and the interest on the value of the
land in question compared with the
current charge per head of the same
kind of stock for a seasons paSturaSe.
Or the estimated value Of the return in
increased value Of the stock or its
products may be used for comparison.
BY this means the relative economy OF
pastures may be determined.

EAaEf Your Living
Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers in the
South. We are all facing a crisis.
This war in Europe puts things in
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree Of
clearness.
The sure and certain increase In
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost Of all food and
grain products is high, so high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. It will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres Of cotton you
ever grew!
Hastings 1917 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind of money saw
ing garden and the vegetables to put
in it. 1t tells about the field crops as
well and shows you the clear road to
real farm prosperity. It's Free. Send

BEES ARE GREAT TRAVELLERS
To Collect a Pound of Glover Honey
Insects Must Get Material From
$4,000 Blossoms.

The bee is famed for industry. but
to show how much work the bee really
does a naturalist says that to collect
a pound Of clover honey the bees must
deprive G2,000 clover blossoms.
The flowers must be visited by $780,
900 bees or, in other words, to collect
his pound of honey one bee must make
3,75O,O00 trips to and from the hive.
AS bees are known to fly for miles
in their quest of suitable fields of op-
GRAFTON. it is clear that single ounce
of honey represents millions Of miles
of travel.
