CRUDE OIL BETTER
THAN MARKET DIPS
VIII Kill Vermin and Also Soften
Skins and Brighten Hair-HoW
to Apply to Hogs.

Control Of lice on hogs is an I'M
portant factor in the development of
the swine. Crude oil not only kills lice,
but in addition destroys the nits,
softens the skin, and brightens the
hair.
Many hog dips are on the market,
which are widely used, but the use Of
crude oil gives more satisfactory re-
suits, in the opinion of Ray Gatewood,
instructor in animal husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college. This
oil may be applied by the use of pat
ent hog oilers, but as q rule these are
not satisfactory, for they are expensive
and many do not apply the oil in a
satisfactory manner.
One of the most satisfactory meth
DDS of applying crude oil is to drive
as many of the hogs as possible at one
time into an Enclosure in which there
is q cement floor. Oil may then be ap-
piled to tie hogs with an ordinary
shrinking can. They rub against each
other and the oil becomes evenly dis
tributed. They should not be let out
or the pen until this is accomplished.

The size of the breeding herd Is In
practice determined chiefly by the
amount of pasture and the amount Of
roughage available. Great car must
be taken that the pastures are not
overstocked. Good bluegrass or clover
should carry from so to 100 COWS per
100 acres, but on other pastures, with
the exception of wheat, oats, or other
small grains, the capacity may run
from SO head to as low as five head per
100 acres. 1t is not profitable at pre-.
vailing prices to buy roughage, and as
this should constitute the basal ration
for the breeding cows, it is not usually
advantageous for the farmer to at.
tempt to keep more than can be fed OH
the homegrown roughage ut his dis.
posal. On the other hand, the herds
should be large enough for the owner
to market at one time a carload OF
baby beeves, or from 20 to ~ head. In
certain instances there may be satis-
factory and economical ways Of dis
posing Of the beeves In less than car
load lots, but in general the expense
involved in this method Of marketing
materially reduces the profits from
feeding.

SOUR SKIM MILK FOR
CALVES IN SUMMER
There Is Great Need of Precau.
ton in This Manner of Feed
ing-Feed at Once.

That calves do as well or better on
Soul skim milk in summer as they DO
on sweet will be interesting news to
many farmers who have hitherto been
kept from raising calves by the ex-
pense of keeping the milk sweet in hot
weather. This expense, experiments
carried out by the department Of agr'
culture indicate to be quite unneces-
sary. The calves will make as rapid
gains on sour skim milk. In winter this
is not as satisfactory. 1t chills the
calves, and some Of them drink it with
great reluctance. Very few young
calves have ever been known to refuse
1t altogether. On the other hand, OF
course, it Is much easier to keep the
milk sweet in winter.
But there IS need Of precaution In
this matter of summer feeding of milk.
Unless the milk is produced and kept
under clearly conditions, 1t may be-
come contaminated with disease-pro-
ducing bacteria. Farmers should there
fore allow the milk to sou quickly
and then feed it without delay.
In the course Of the experiments,
sour skim milk is fed to % calves,
Holsteins, Jerseys and Guernseys, at
different seasons Of the year. In no
case did it cause digestive disturbances
even when the change from sweet to
sour milk was made abruptly when
the calves were only a few days old.
Moreover, no evil results followed the
alternate use Of sweet and sour milk.
1t seems, therefore, that the common
conception that soul milk leads to
O u is quite unfounded. It is In the
care Of the milk.
The calves, it was found, did not
like the sour milk as well as the sweet,
but in the majority Of cases soon be-
came accustomed to 1t. The aversion
however, increased when the milk was
fed them at low temperature.

EAT LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take a Glass of Salts if Your Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers.

The American men and women
must guard constantly against Kid
ney trouble. because we eat too
much and all our food is rich. Iur
blood is filled with uric acid which
the kidneys strive to filter out, they
weaken from overwork, become slug
gish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and a general decline in
heath.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you
are obliged to seek relief two or
three times during the night; if you
suffer with sick headache or dizzy,
nervous spells, acid stomach, or you
have rheumatism when the weather
is bad. get from your pharmacist
about four unces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water

your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia. and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate
ci0gGed Kidneys; to n~eutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer is
a PURGE of irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
lad Salts is ~inexpensive; cannot
injure, makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water beverage, and be,
longs in every home, because nobody
can make a mistake by having a good
kidney flushing any time.-Adv.

SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARKEN IT
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Keep
Her Locks Dark, Glossy, and
Beautiful.

The old-time mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for d%arkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair a good,
even color, which is quite sensible
as we are living in an age when a
youthful appearance is of the great
est advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering
the sage and the mussy mixing at
home. All drug stores sell the
re~ady-to-use product, improved by
the addition of other ingredients,
called HWyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" for about SO cents a
bottle. 1t is very popular because
nobody can discover it has been ap-
piled. Simply moisten your comb or
4 soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
ray hair disappears, but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
.fter a few applications, it also pro-
drces that soft lustre and appearance
Of abundance which is so attractive.
This ready-to-use preparation is a
delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire a more youthful appear
ance. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention Of
disease.-Adv.

News for the Farmer

strengthen the muscles of his legs,
and make it easy for him to march
long distances later on. Of course
the best thing the drafted mar could
do would be to engage in sports and
which will develop his stami-
ma and harden his muscles. There is
plenty of time for everyone to get
physical training. 1t helps not only
to make better soldiers and to start
the individual on the road to promo
ton sooner, but it makes the re-
cruit's life happier. One-half of the
complaints that come from recruits
about food and d~isagreeable condi-
tions of living are due directly to
the irritable state of mind of the SOL
der. All this could be eliminated If
the drafted mar would. take advan-
tage of the interval between now
and the autumn to train himself.
Each man knows best perhaps, how
to do that for himself, each man can
make the transition for himself as
gradual as is consistent with his
strength, and at the end of a few
weeks, at any rate, when the drafted
men are called to arms, we should
have a splendid body of men in good
physical condition. The time to start
is right ~now."-Washington Dispatch

PORTO RICANS NOT GOING
TO CAMP JACKSON

Washington, Aug. 22.-Porto Ri
can troops will not be sent to Camp
Jackson. If any negro troops are
sent to South Carolina camps they
will be rained separately from the
white troops.
Governor Richard I. Manning, &C.
companied by Senators Tillman and
Smith; Representatives Whaley and
R~agsdale; Chairman D. R. Cocker of
the South Carolina Council of Ma
tional Defense, and Mesrs. R. Good
wynn Rhett of Charleston; j. W. Lii
lard, William Elliott, and George L.
Baker, of the Columbia Chamber of
Commerce, and Prof. George Nc
Cutcheon, representing Congressman
Lever, called on Secretary of War
Baker this afternoon and presented
their views with regard to the mobili-
cation of negro and Porto Rican
troops in the Palmetto State. Cover
o Manning authorized the follow
ing publication after the conference.
Governors Statement.
Secretary of War Baker met US at
1890 today, and we discussed the
question of the draft of troops in
South Carolina, especially with ref
erence to the negro troops. The
Porto Rican troops will not be sent
to South Carolina MOI will the white
and negro troops be mixed. The mat
ter was fully discussed from the
standpoint of the best interests of all
the troops, white and colored, and
the best way to handle the PROPOSE
ton. Secretary Baker assured US
that he would take under serious
consideration all that was said and
would endeavor to decide the ques-
tons involved so as to serve the well
fare of all parties concerned. If any
negro troops are sent to South Caro-
lima they will, under the long-estab-
lished policy Of the War Department,
be kept entirely separate from the
white troops.
"At the opening of the meeting
Secretary Baker announced that the
Porto Rican troops. would not be
sent to Camp Jackson at Columbia.

TIPS FOR DRAFTED MEN.
Start Getting Into Good Physical
Condition Now.

Major Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, acting
chief of staff of the United States
army, stopped reading a mass : of
memoranda from Major Gen. Perish
ing long enough today to answer a
question that must vitality interest
every young mar who has been draft
ed. That question was: "What shall
the drafted man do between now and
the time he will be called to the ser
vice in OCTOBER"
cit would be a splendid thing"
said Gen. Bliss, eff every young man
put himself in good physical condi-
ton. He can Go this by going to a
gymnasium or by a little work each
day outdoors. Let him devote an
hour a day, preferably in the early
morning, to exercise, and the result
in a few weeks will be that he will
be able to withstand any hardship.
"The transition from civil life to
military service is sometimes too
sudden for the comfort Of the indi-
vidual. Soreness and fatigue, lack
of wind, and strained muscles are
surely characteristic of the recruits
experience, but this need not happen
at all. The drafted man can, in a
few weeks, so condition himself that
he will hardly notice the change.
"Let the young man begin by talk
ing a brisk walk every day, of twenty
or thirty minutes, gradually increas-
ing the length of his hike. 1t viii

CLEAN HEALTHY WHEAT
SEED ARE ESSENTIAL

Washington, August
clean, healthy seed is the first re-
uuisite for the largely increased
wheat crop which the United States
Department of Agriculture hopes to
see harvested next year. Whatever
the source of supply farmers will
find it to their advantage, says the
department, to see that only good
seed is planted. What has been
said is equally true of seed for the
rye crop which the department hopes
to see much larger than usual next
year.
If a farmer has seed from his own
crop which is satisfactory so far as
variety and general condition are
concerned, he should lose no time in
getting it into shape for storage IN
til planting time. The tanning mill
is the farmers best friend in this
task. The farmer, by all means
should have such a mill and if ne
has not and is unable to obtain one,
should borrow or rent his neighbor's
mill, or several farmers can join IN
buying one. A tanning mill removes
weed seeds, smut and shriveled grain
and leaves only plump kernels, prac-
tically every one of which may be
depended upon to produce a thrifty
plant, After it is cleaned, however,
the seed should be treated in order
that the smut may be prevented.
Scab is less likely to be prevented
by seed treatment, but the use of
the tanning mill will assist materi-
ally in improving the crop grown
from seed known to have contained
scabby kernels.
If the farmer is dependent on out
side sources for his seed he should
buy from his neighbor if possible so
that he may be more likely to get
seed we'll adapted to his conditions.
1t is advisable to buy as soon after
harvest as possible as at this time
prices are likely to be lowest. IT the
farmer delays, his neighbors may dis
pose of all their surplus grain and
he may be forced to plant seed
grown under conditions radically
different from his own. If the farm
er patronizes a scotsman he should
insist on getting seed grown as near
his section as possible.
If seed is affected by diseases,
careful inspection will usually dis
close the fact. The presence of
sinking smut in wheat is indicated
by the odor and the presence of scab
by the appearance of the kernels.
Purchased seed should, of course, be
cleaned and treated for the destruc-
ton of the spores of disease, pro-
ducing fungi, if the examination
shows this to be necessary.
In choosing varieties of wheat the
farmer should be guided by the ex-
~periences of his neighbors and the
advice of his State Experiment Sta
tion.. This is true also of rye, but
there are available fewer varieties
of rye than of wheat. The stations
can furnish comparative statistics on
the yields and behavior of a number
of varieties of the two cereals.
After the grain farmer has pro-
duced a supply Of satisfactory seed
he should store it carefully so that
it will keep in good condition and
will be safe from the depredatons of
rats, mice and insects. Bins which
are supposedly rat proof are avail
able on practically all farms and it
will pay farmers to see that they
are kept in good condition to keep

whether She is in rags, the silk kim

In her latest Aircraft picture, The

i.aSSie and when clad in kits and with
her golden hair thrown about her
gracefully poised head she is more
beautiful than ever. 1t is a character
too that holds out every opportunity
to the star for making it one of the
most popular parts she has ever
created. In other words, it is an ideal

what all of the many Mary Pickford
admirers want.
