dogs skin. Once they get into the di-
gestive tract of man or stock, small

the hydatid or bladder worm. In
stock this is seldom fatal, because the
length of life of a farm animal is
comparatively short, but in man IL
may cause serious difficulty and may
necessitate one of more operations.
In addition to ailments to which the
dog itself is subject, it may also be a
carrier of diseases to which it is not
susceptible. This was fully demon
strated during the recent outbreak of
foot-and-mouth disease, when it was
determined beyond doubt that dogs
were responsible in some instances for
the spread of the disease.
Nor are these the only counts
against the dog. Every section which
is devoted wholly or in part to the
raising of sheep will furnish more evil
dence in the case. The well-trained,
properly controlled dog is a valuable

SELF-FEEDERS BEST
FOR FATTENING PIGS
Gains May Be Put on Animals
Rapidly and Economically,
Says Missouri Expert.

(By L. A. WEAVER, Missouri College OF
Agriculture)
The Missouri agricultural expert
ment station has demonstrated the fact
that gains may be put on fattening hogs
rapidly and economically by the use
of self-feeders.
Shoats weighing 121 pounds at the
beginning of a 6O-day feeding period
gained 1.79 pounds head daily, weigh
ing 22S.9 pounds at the close Oh the
feeding trial. During this time they
were supplied with corn, shorts, ana
tankage. each of these feeds being
placed in separate self-feeder and the
shoats allowed to eat as much OF each
as they wished. When so fed they
seemed to balance their ration about
as well as could be done by hand feed
ing. The proportion in which the feeds
were eaten are: Corn, 2Q66 pounds !;
shorts. 1893 pounds; and tankage, L
hound. The average daily feed con-
sumed per hog was 8.185 pounds. The
amount of feed required for each
pound of gain produced was 4.55
pounds.
With corn worth 60 cents bushel,
shorts s1.35 per hundred and tankage
$3.50 per hundred it cost $5.6S to
produce 100 pounds of pork.

DOG IS TERMED A NUISANCE AND MENACE

Prom the United States Department of
Agriculture)
1t has been almost universally con-
coded that the dog is friend to man.,
but Bulletin 260 qualities that state
ment somewhat. According to the pub
Hcation the dog is a true friend to
man only when properly controlled and
cared for.
For at least half q century scien-
lists have been insisting that the dog
is responsible to quite an extent for
the spread of many parasites and dis
eases to which stock and even man
are susceptible. 1t is a matter of COM
mon knowledge that dogs are subject
to rabies or hydrophobia and that
they in turn may transmit it to other
animals and to persons. Some of the
other diseases and parasites they may
transmit are hydatid, which occurs
both in man and stock; gid, principal
ly confined to sheep; cysticercus, or
measles, in sheep; tapeworm, round
worm, tongue worm, fleas, and ticks.

COOKING FEEDS FOR
SWINE NOT FAVORED
Experiment Stations Have Found
Actual Loss in Practice, Says
Kansas Expert.

Cooking feed for swine generally is
not an advisable practice, points out
Ray GatewOod, instructor mammal
husbandry in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
"Much experimenting has been done
along this line" said Mr.. Gatewood,
'and practically all experiment sta
tons have found an actual loss en-
countered by cooking feeds.
"With most feeds, cooking tends to
lower the digestibility, resulting in a
larger amount of feed being required
to produce given amount OF
gain. This raises the expense of pro-
ductiOn and cuts down the producers
profits.
"Some feeds used in certain lOcali-
ties-such as potatoes, field peas, and
roots-have their palatability improved
and their water content lowered
by cooking, which results in a
larger consumption. These, how
ever, are not common feeds in Kan
sas. Cooking requires special ap-
paratus land of course takes time and
labor, all adding to the expense of pro-
duction.
'sIt may be profitable to heat drink
ing water and water in which feeds
are mixed in cold weather, as
this will decrease the amount of feed
required to maintain the body temper
ature."

is not measured by the richness OF ma
terial used
1t seems that the term "Sports
clothes" is destined to cover attire for
all outdoor life-or at least that sports
clothes will hardly be considered out
of place anywhere out of doors. They
appear to have made for themselves
a permanent place.
One of the new fabrics used for
sports suits is shown above. 1t has a
silky crepelike surface, substantial
weight and durability. 1t is one of
several new fabrics, each with name
of it's own, that have made place for
themselves which promises to be en-

In the suit pictured, the skirt is
made of a cross-barred pattern in the
material in which bright cOlOrS are de-
fined against a plain ground. The
sweater coat has wide shawl collar

buttons fasten the overlapping ends
of the belt. Just now suits of this
kind are worn with plain blouses of

IMPORTANT "DON'TS"
IN BROOD MARE CARE
Regular Exercise Is Essential
and Hard Work Should Be
Avoided-Feed Literally.

CBy DIR. C. C. LIPP, South Dakota Agri-
cultural College)
1. Don't fail to provide regular ex-
ercise for the mare heavy with foal.
If there is no regular work, run in
a lot for several hours daily makes a
good substitute.
2. Don't require the mare heavy with
foal to do such work as requires short
turning, especially in plowed ground,
deep mud, or snow.
3. Don't require the mare heavy with
foal to travel on slippery roads unless
she is we'll shod.
4. Don't neglect to feed the brood
mare well. She must eat not only for
her own maintenance, but for the de-
velOpment of her foal also.
5. Don't feed the brood mare hay
or straw that contains traces of er-
got. Such precaution may prevent
trouble that fails to yield to medicinal
treatment.

SOME HINTS FOR TEACHERS
Condensed Into Few Words, but the
Ideas They Convey Might Be
Called Sermons.

Here are some paragraphs clipped
from the Ohio Educational Monthly
that are valuable to the teachers and
everybody else:
Some teachers become diSOrdcrly in
trying to preserve order.
The goldfish keeps goinS and going
but ii never arrives.
Sad the lot of him who becomes
chOked by the dust of his own futility.
Twenty years hence the teacher will
be able to grade the pupil and her own
work.
A grade book in the hands of a
teacher is not a specially alIuring bit
of natural scenery.
There is a teacher in Ohio who lacks
imagination and all his thinking and
acting is done in geOmetric squares
and reCtanglcs.
Each of these paragraphs is enough
to Justify the space Of n biz editorial,
but in their QuinteSSence the gentle
reader can catch the full meaning.
That goldfish item is good-how many
goldfish are jarring around on the out
side of life? That forecast Of the
teacher as the test Of a pupils work
is a vision that ought to make school
work sublime. And that grade book
and natural scenery companion is
teaching toward the heights Of the
spirit very fast. And the last, the
rectilincal teacher, who thinks what
he knows, and which he gets from the
textbooks, is all there is of life.--Co-
