tiers of Anthrax or Charlton is the
title Of the latest publication of the

ment Station. It is the work OF Harry

veterinarian.
This bulletin gives an account OF ex-
periments in the transmission OF an
thsax or Charlton by bloodsucking III
sects. The horn-fy, horsefiy and mos
quito were used in these experiments.
The results show that these insects
are capable of transmitting anthrax
by feeding upon healthy animal af-
ter biting an infected one.
The results OF this work should
prove the necessity of protecting AMI
mails sick with anthrax from the bit
ing of the blood sucking insects. They
also show the necessity OF keeping
valuable animals in screened build
ings during outbreaks of this disease.

SPRAY WEB WORMS WITH
ARSENICAL SOLUTION

During 1917 the fall vel worm was
unusually abundant in Louisiana. es-
pacially in the southern portion of the
state. In some sections it entirely
defoliated pecan, pear, peach, persim-
mon, willow, and other trees growing
both In the woods and in cultivated
areas, besides causing injury to va
r4ous field and garden crops. Whether
the pest will be as injurious during
1918 remains to be seen, but the
worms We're noted in their webs on
trees in the vicinity of Baton Rouge
early in April and what is apparently
the same insect has been reported
from elsewhere in the state. Destroy
ing these, the first brood of worms
to appear this year, means lessening
the damage that may be done by la
ter broods. They may be killed by
cutting the webs from the trees and
burning them, or torches may be used
to burn the webs and larvae as they
occur on the trees, or the worms NAV
be poisoned by spraying the foliage

CHICKENS REQUIRE
-FOUR KINDS OF FEED
Must Have Greens, Grit, erubs and
Grains, or Substitutes.

Some one has well said that chick
ems need four kinds Of feeds: green's,
grit, grubs and grains. Since these
four classes OF feeds all begin with the
letter G, they should be easy to re-
member Too many people make the
mistake Of feeding their chickens from
only one or tWoofthese groups. When
ever the feeds from any one of these
groups is lacking the chickens are
not being fed aration that is properly
balanced.
Greens. The generous supply of sue
culent grasses, sprouting seeds, and
other tender vegetation which Is AT
ways accessible to the wild bird must
be replaced with the chicken which IS

Grits. This means sharp, hard sub
stances with which chicks grind the
feeds they eat Never forget that the
chicken is not provided with teeth,
but that It has to grind all food which
II eats by the use Of sharp gravel
stones in its gizzard. II It is allowed
to go without a sufficient supply OF
this sharp, gritty material, the fool
will not be properly ground or d.
gested.
Grubs. The wild bird eats lots Of
bugs, insects and grubs OF various
kinds. This diet OF animal food is
very necessary to the chicken which
is expected to lay many eggs and to
stay in good health. On our farms
many of the chickens can obtain near
" enough Of this kind Of food during
the spring and summer months, bur
when fail and winter eggs are wanted
It becomes advisable and economical,
to feed additional animal food

which corresponds to the wild seeds

PIGS MAKE RAPID
GAINS on SKIM Milk
MOST VALUABLE SUPPLEMENT
20 CORN FOR HOG FEEDING
THAT CAN BE HAD.
LOWERS THE FEEDING COST
Buttermiik Is About Equal In Feeding
Value To Skim Milk For
Older Hogs.

Dairymen in certain sections OF
Louisiana have surplus Of skim milk
at present for which they can not find
a market. AS a result Of feeding ex-
periments at number of state ex-
pertinent stations throughout the
country, it has been found that skim
milk is the most valuable supplement
to cosn for hog feeding that can be
had. The amount of skim milk fed
in proportion to fine amount of corn
has very little effect on the final re-
suits. However, for each pound OF
corn the amount Of skim milk should
be somewhere between one and four
pounds. With young pigs, or pigs
just weaned, a greater proportion Of
skim milk will give better results than
with older animals.
At the Ohio experiment station It
was found that hogs fed with corn
and skim milk made a gain of 201
pounds of pork for every bushel of
corn compared to gain of 1871 pounds
for every bushel Of corn where they
were fed on corn with rape pasture.
The animals getting skim milk also
made much more rapid gains than
those on rape pasture. In another test
at this same station hogs on pasture
and fed corn alone made an average
daily gain d 1.os pounds per head
compared to an average daily gain Of
1.6s pounds made by hogs that were
fed skim milk in addition to the above
mentioned ration.
When skim milk is fed In addition
to corn the hogs make more rapid
and cheaper gains than when corn is
fed alone. In this connection 1t may
be well to state that one hundred
pounds of skim milk is approximately
equal in value TO one-half bushe1 If
corn when fed in addition to corn as
compared to feeding corn alone But
ternilk is about equal in feeding value
to skim milk for older hogs, although
1t IS not so good for small pigs that
have just been weaned.-L P. Nc

it, but this disorder is due to a lack

In the meantime use the most mild
