PARASITES IN SWINE
Mixture Recommended by Expert
at Oklahoma College.
Many Breeders Use Straight Arsenic,
Form Known as Arsenous Acid Be-

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 be In
tested either in the region Of the Kid

give good results:

Many cases of infestation by para

little attention Is paid to parasitic
troubles. AS to the arsenic treatment
for kidney worms, there Is much dis

DECREASE IN CONSUMPTION.

The per capita consumption of spir-

was, according to the final government
report, 1910 gallons. This is the small
est figure since 1902.
While the withdrawal for cOnSump-
tiOn" of distilled liquors was greater in
1916 than In 1915, it was less than In
any year between 1902 and 1915. The
slight incl ease was chiefly due, says
the commissioner of internal revenue
to "thc effective enforcement of the in
ternal revenue tax on distilled spirits"
1t should be remembered that the
withdrawal for consumption" does not
mean that the liquor all went down
the threats of American citizens.
Much of it is forced out Of the gov
eminent warehouses by the expiration
of the bonded period. When liquor Is
taken ont of bond the tax is paid and
it Is officially recorded as consumed"
AS matter of fact large part of 1t
is merely transferred to private ware
houses to await market demands. The
fact that large quantities remain in
bond until forced out by the time limit
is sufficient proof that actual consuhnp-
ton Of splrituous liquors Is decreas-

The daSheen, root crop introduced

by considerable number of farmers

be grown successfully, however. not
only in the warmer portions Of Florida,
but In other sections of the South as

portion of the plant includes large
central CORN and a number of tubers,
of much smaller size, attached to and
around the CORN.
The value of the dasheen, 1t is be-
lieved, will be as crop supplemental
to rather than a substitute for the pO-

AMERICA HAS TRIED THEM ALL.

We in America know more about
legislative methods Of dealing with
the liquor traffic than all the world
besides. We know everything that Eu-
rope knows, and some things Of which
Europe has not legislatively dreamed.
1t is diverting to those who know the
facts, when some dillettante bewails
the extent to which unsophisticated
America is hurtling blindly along the
prohibition trail, following dogmas
preached by professional agitators.
without stopping to take stock OF
what older and more practiced nations
have learned. These writer's are en-
gagingly naive. Everything that Eu-
rope has ever tried on this question

commonly, employed. 1t is given IN 10
to 20-gram doses. A teaspOonful OF
arsenic would be a sufficient dose for a
half dozen average-sized hogs. Care
should be exercised in its use, and 1t
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 for
eight or ten days at a 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 beneficial action. A
teaspoonful Of oil Of turpentine for
each hog twice or three times daily for
a period of eight or ten days should be
given. The best method, however. OF
handling conditions Of this sort Is to
keep the animals away from infected
feed and pens. If they feed on acorns,
keep plenty Of copperas and charcoal,
especially charcoal, convenient for
them to eat. The formula for para
sites in general has given very good re
suits.

ALCOHOL NOT NEEDED.

"Ninety-nine per cent Of the medical
profession feel that there is no medi-

use by women is concerned, alcohol
not only does no good, 1t actually does
much harm: Its sole effect Is to in
toxicate women to the point where
they do not care much whether they

Culture and Handling of Dasheens.
The dasheen Is grown from whole
tubers weighing a few ounces. They
require frOstless season of at least
seven months with plenty of moisture.
A moist but well-drained. rich, sandy
loan has been found to be a satisfac-
tory soil for dasheen culture. A large
proportion of either clay or muck In
the soil produces strOng-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 3h by 3h
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
number Of northern markets.

Contractor Henry Monk returned
yesterday morning from Washington
where he went some time since in
the interest of bids which he mad
made for the construction of ham
gars at the Pensacola naval station.
Mr. Monk stated that the contract
which was warded him, and which
amounts to $35O,OOO, is for the con-
struction of hangers solely. Asked
if he bid on other work, he replied
in the affirmative, but stated that as
these bids are in allegiance, he could
not say at this time just what was
the nature of the work he bid on, nor
would he indicate the probable value
or extent Of the new work which he
sought from the department.
It was announced yesterday that
three piers for seaplanes will also
be constructed at the Pensacola naval
station, and the contract fort this
work has also been let. A Tampa
contractor was the successful bidder
for this work.
Contractor Monk viii he associated
in the work with Capt. Jas Eley, and
