GREAT EFFORT TO

HALF A MILLION SOUTHERN

Washington, d. C. Oct. 3.-With ac-
tive work for tick eradication proceed

their cooperative goal-"a South en-

thousand eight hundred and eighty
two dipping watts were in commission
in August, and during that month
522,541 different herds, comprising A.

regularly every two weeks. A force

Mississippi led with 1880 herds
and 1.373,952 cattle dipped regularly
in $3.50 watts. This work, it is be
lieved, shortly will clean out the
tick from 45,17G square miles of ter
ritory and free the entire state from
quarantine this year Louisiana was
second in number of cattle dipped and
Alabama third each dipping over $50,
900 animals. Arkansas was a close
fourth with 64S0OO animals dipped.
Texas, where dipping has recent
ly become active, is handling 1892
but leads all the States in area hand
led, with over $4,000 square miles be
ing worked. Florida, where cattle
are not so numerous, is second in
area covered, with 53,111 square
miles. One of the most hopeful
signs is that the State legislatures of
Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tex
as, and Arkansas have made dipping

SOME COMMON COMPLAINTS OF
HOGS AT THIS TIME OE YEAR

Only this week an examination of a
heard of hogs was made and the out
ward symptoms were such as are seen
with cholera, but on examination of a
shoats intestines it was found that 10
or Is inches of the lower part of the
large intestine was packed with dirt.
This dirt had remained there for more
than a week, for the animal was re-
moved from the peanuts last Thurs
day, but the peanuts that it had eaten
last Monday or Tuesday of last week
were still in the stomach of the ami
NAL. The food could not pass on be-
cause of the dirt obstruction.
If possible to do so, no better thing
could be done than to get hogs out of
fields of nuts or in pens after running
on peanuts for about ten days and give
them raw linseed oil and spirits of tur-
pentine in proportion of one teacupful
of the oil and one or one and a half
tablespoonfuls of turpentine to each
Two hundred pounds live weight. IT,
would cleansed the digestive tract
completely After this no better med
icine or tonic can be given than a
mixture of l bushel of charcoal,
bushel wood ashes or coal ashes,
pounds of salt, pounds of lime, 4
pounds of sulphur. Keep where hogs
can get it at all times

FROM YOUR FIELD
GOVERNMENT URGES FARMERS
6To GET SEED FROM FIELDS BY
TAKING BEST EARS TO PLANT.

If you are farmer and lave an
idea that you would like to increase
he corn yield for the next year, you
ought to try the suggestion which the
government is making this fall to all
the country.
You ought to go into the fields now
and take from standing stalks the best
ears, the kind that has made good
in competition with the other stalks.
Get this corn as. soon as it is hard and
before the heavy frosts or rains ruin
it for seed. Hang where it will be-
come dry, thoroughly dry. Get your
seed from stalks with hanging ears.
Long ears with large uniform grain
are the best.
Farmers have carefully selected seed
in this way and made eighteen bush
els more to the acre on fair test
with the corn which was housed in
the crib and from which seed was
taken at random. 1t pays we'll be
careful with the seed This is just
la reminder When you learn that it
is true you will be at it-selecting
