Common Roundworms of Hogs-a,
Male; b, Female.

as follows: Pigs weighing less than
90 pounds, one-half teaspoOnful; p gs
weighing 90 to 100 pounds, one tea
spoonful; large hogs, two teaspoon
ruls. Each pig should be dosed sep
arately if the best results are to be
obtained. Castor oil should always be
given with oil of American wormseed.
Other laXatives are not satisfactory.
Dangerous to Drench Hogs.
Drenching hogs is dangerous, as
they are liable to get the remedy into
The lungs. With sufficient assistance
pigs may be held, the mouth kept open
by means of a couple of loops of wire
or rope, or leather straps, and the
medicine given in a tablespoon or a
large kitchen spoon. BY this method,
certain that each pig gets his proper
dose After dosing with the above
mixture pigs may be fed and watered.
Repeat the treatment in ten days
Change Pastures Frequently.
Healthy hogs BECOME infected with
intestinal worms from feed, water and
soil which have been infested by the
droppings from infected hogs. FIRE.
quent change of pasture is one of the
best means of reducing worm infesta'
ton to a minimum. Hogs, however.
should not be allowed to run at large
on open range, as this favOrs the
spread Of hog cholera.
Swine can be raised when they are
confined in limited quarters if the
quarters are kept clean, but they will
do much better and stay in better
health if they have plenty of pasture.
Divide the pasture into convenient
areas, so that the hogs can be shifted
from one pasture to another. This
not only provides fresh pasture. but
affords an opportunity to disinfect
the pastures by blowing and reseeding
or by exposure to the sun and weather.

Electricity From Wind.

The electrical engineering depart
ment Of the State Agricultural college
of Manhattan, Kan, is conducting a
series of experiments with a view to
improving the prevailing methods of
generating electricity from windmill
power. In the tests the generator is
mounted on the head of the mill and
geared directly to the source of pow
er, instead of being belted to the mill
at its base, as is usually the practice.
The main need seems to be a mill
that requires a lower wind velocity to
start than those now available, since
the latter are idle for long periods at
a stretch, and therefore necessitate
the employment of large storage bat
teries.

The symptoms of kidney and bladder
troubles are often very distressing and

The kidneys seem to suffer most, as al

lead to more dangerous kidney troubles.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-R9ot which, so
many people say, soon heals and strength

by those who use it.

SilVerinq Mirrors.

This is by no means an easy bust
ness, but if you want to try it, the fol
lowing method may be used: Place
the mirror face downward on a table
and clean off the part to be silvered
by rubbing it with a pledget of clean
cotton. Now spread over the spot
piece of tinfOil, little larger than the
part to be repaired and, after spread
ing it out carefully and smoothly, let
drop on the center of it a drop of me-
1alic mercury. and with a piece of
chamOiS rub the foil until il becomes
brilliant. Now place over the new
amalgam a sheet of smooth writing pa.
per, and pile books, or weights of any
kind upon it, and leave over night. The
amount of mercury to be used should
correspond as nearly as possible to
three drachms to the square foot of
surface.
While the above reads easy" the
job itself is one which requires con-
siderable practice to do neatly,

MANY ENGLISH WAR BEAUTIES
London Girls Making Up" More Now
Than Before Outbreak of the Eu-
ropean Conflict.

English war girls apparently have
been unable to forget that they are
still feminine. There is some criti-
ciSm, writes correspondent, that
beauty parlors are flourishing where
none existed before the war, and that
strong girls are manicuring. making
face creams instead of munitions, and
waving hair instead of milking cows.
Chemists who carried few "beauti-
fierS'' before the war now find them
one of their chief sources of income
Many have added hair-waving salons
and manicuring parlors to their estab-
lishments. The case is related of one
woman in London who started making
face creams and lotions five years ago,
and was on the verge of bankruptcy
when the war began. but who now has
fiourishing business.
In one local government Office there
are 80 women of ages varying from
eighteen TO forty who have just discov-
cred that whereas none Of them ''made
up" in any way before the war, all
now pay regular visits to the hair
dresser and manicurist.
Girl workers in the danger build
ings at WOolwich arsenal are not al
lowed to wear jewelry. They have,
therefore, hit on the idea of wearing
colored shoe laces.
The cap shop girls appeared one
morning with bright emerald green
ribbons on their shoes, much to the
envy of other departments. The next
morning the whole factory was in the
fashion, says DR.. A. X. Foxwell, the
principal supervisor.
Shoes were tied with blue, pink,
red. white ribbons; with anything but
the government boot lace of untanned
leather. The fashion spread to the
office and women clerks paraded the
platform during the dinner hour with

BRIGHT WITS OF CRIMINALS
Auto Thieves Deliberately Plan on
Their Prey and Have New Way
to OutWit the Police.

Automobile stealing, it appears, has
been advanced to a place among the

Merely to step into another mans car
and drive away with it, taking all the
chances, is now becoming an anach-
ronism and crudeness. 1t is no long.
er done in the best grand larceny cir
cles. The genteel purloiner now sizes
up slzillfully the vehicle he wants, as
to its cylinders, horsepower and other
points of technical interest, files his
ownership papers, takes out his Ii.
cense and, if stopped by the police,
produces indignation and the official
documents.
1t has long been a matter of note
that the safe robber of highest de-
gree, and the cOunterfeiter of fullest
poses talents which would serve them
in legitimate application exceptionally
well. Ranking below these operators
in genius, the new motorcar thief
displays yet an acumen and smooth
ness in business execution which
should make him as straight man of
affairs generally valuable.
All these performers refusing TO
work honestly for sure and sufficient
compensation, work much harder for
the uncertain returns and ever-pres-
ent perilS of croOkedness. They make
manifest a curious paradox of crime
They are not explained wholly by the
cries of IA stunted spirit OF adventure
and highly temperamental love for
the risks of the crime. Perhaps the
law, TO meet them effectively, should
hold them to punitive account in meas
ureS proportional less to arbitrary de-
grees OF crime than to proved wastes
of natural gifts.

food in the form of poultry and eggs
BY having this amount of poultry food

CURING AND STORING SEEDS
Soy Bean Spells Rather Easily Unless
Properly HandIed-Avoid Heat
ing and Molding

Soy bean seed spoils rather easily If
not properly handled, and care should
be used in curing and storing. After
threshing the beans should be watched
carefully to avoid heating and mold
ing. When good and dry there is no
such danger. A good plan is to spread
the beans out on the floor immediate
ly after threshing and shovel them
over from time to time until they are
thoroughly dry, then they may be safe
ly be put into socks or bins. The store
room should be dry and have a free
circulation of air. Soy bean seed loses
vitality very rapidly and it is not safe
to hold seed for planting purposes for
more than two seasons.

SUCCULENT FEED IN WINTER
Acre of Corn Can Be Placed in Silo at

Silage is the best and cheapest form
in which a succulent feed can be pro-

corn can be placed in the silo at cost
not exceeding that of shocking, husk-

silage has a beneficial effect on the di-

Anti.Leak Device for Brushes.

The following is a good method for
preventing the color or wash from
running down over the handle of a
large brush when overhead work is

a slit in it to allow it to slip over the
brush handle. Push it up as far as
1t will go and tie a cord on the handle
to prevent it from slipping back. The

of all the leaking color, and it can be
wrung out at any time while on the

Don't kill chicken when the crop

Food in the crop or in the intestines
of dressed chicken causes loss of

than offsets any gain from extra
