Exercise Prevents Pio Thumps.

When the pigs are from four or five
to ten days old. be on the lookout for
thumps. The best-loOking fat little
pig is the one to go first every time.
An almost certain indication Is a lit
tie roll Of fat around the neck. While
there is no known cure for thumps,
the trouble is quite easily prevented.
Plenty OF exercise for the pigs Is the
answer. In cold. stormy weather out
of-door exercise is impossible. but If
q central narrowing house with an al
leyway is used. get the little fat fell
lows into the alley and put In about
ten or fifteen minutes three or four
times a day chasing them with bug
gy whip, until they are pretty well
tired out. If this is impossible, try
putting one or two Of the little pigs Mt
a time in large barrel or hogshead,
placed by the narrowing pen. The
pigs will hear the old sow making a
fuss and in running around the bar
rel hunting for a corner to climb out,
generally will take the exercise neces-
sary to ward Off thumps. A consider
able part Of the battle Is won IL the
litter gets past the first ten days or
so with a good start.

MILk'S JOURNEY:
COW To KITCHEN
Many Farmers Working Hard to
Give People Clean Food at
Earliest Moment.
DIFFICULT STEPS IN SYSTEM
Product Must Be Carefully Cooled to
Keep II and Then Hauled Over
Bad Roads to Railroads-Dif-
ferent in Small Towns.

In the handling of foodstuffs the
American people constantly demand in
creased service. Package goods, deliv-
cries and special deliveries, buying in
small quantities and so on, all require
additional labor by some one. The
milk consumer now is accustomed to
find bottle of clean, cold milk on
the doorstep in the morning. If the
milkman Is late or does not come at
all, vigorous complaint is voiced. Such
a complaint is likely to be based on a
lack of understanding of the many
difficult steps involved in the modern
system of distributing milk.
Up Before Daybreak.
Way off in the country somewhere,
perhaps as far as 200 miles, some
farmer must rise before daybreak to
feed and milk his cows. The milk
must be carefully cooled to keep it
sweet, and must then be hauled for
several miles over sometimes almost
impossible roads to the railroad.
Long Haul to City.
Then begins the long haul to the
city where the milk is carried on big
trucks to the dealers plant. There 1t
is carefully pasteuriZed, bottled and
placed in the refrigerator. The next
morning about one or two o'clock the
bottled milk Is loaded on the delivery
wagon and the driver starts on his
way. carrying from 300 to 400 quarts,
all of which must be delivered before
towns this system is simpler, as the
farmer often delivers the milk directly
to the consumer, but even then there
are so many difficulties that the milk
man may be excused IL he is little
late now and then.

Reduce Fly Injury to Stock.

Here are some Of the preventive
measures advocated by the United
States department Of agriculture to
decrease the losses of animals due to
the larvae of flies: Burning or deep
burying Of carcasses Of animals, the
arranging of breeding operations SO
that young stock will be born in late
fall, winter or early spring, the carry
ing on in winter and early spring
months of branding, dehorning and
other operations resulting in wounds,
taking precautions to prevent injury
to live stock from pens and fences or
while on range or In pasture, the de-
struction Of ticks and the poisoning
and trapping Of flies. Farmers Bull
letin S57 describes the damage these
flies do and methods of controlling
them. Burning or burying carcasses
is very important, 1t is pointed out,
since 1t is on this material that mag
gots, infesting wounds, are chiefly de-
pendent for propagation. If all decay
ing animal matter could be destroyed,
the troublesome blow fiies-the insect
bringing about maggot infestation-
would be practically eXterminated.

many years. The increase in the num-
Der of birds is attributed to the aboli-
ton of spring shooting under the OPP
Grafton of the federal regulations. The
law already has been very beneficial
To sportsmen and as food protective
measure. and under the continuance of
existing protection there is every rea-
son TO hope for an ever-increasing sup
ply of wild fowl which will greatly inn
prove shooting conditions in the years
to come.
The department appeals to the pa
triOtism and true craftsmanship Of all
persons TO cooperate with it In the
enforcement of the federal law 1t
is gratifying to know, says recent
statement from the department, that
the majority Of sportsmen have OBJ
served the regulations, and this fact
has contributed largely to the success
eul results accomplished. The depart
ment has planned to increase its force
of wardens who will be active during
the spring migration in securing evil
dence upon which to base prosecutions
against those who may violate the
law.

RAISE CROP OF RASPBERRIES
Yields In Different Sections Vary
Greatiy-securc Plants From Re-
liable Nurseryman.

prepared nv the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Yields from raspberry plantations
vary greatly according to the varieties
raised. the care given them. and the
conditions under which they are grown.
In the eastern United States it Is
agreed generally that I'm sections TO
which they are adapted the purple
sorts are the most productive, the
blackcapS next. and the red varieties
the least productive. Records of red
raspberry growers in New York State
indicate that the average yield is be-
tween 300 and I 400 quarts per acre,
while the best fields go as high as 1000
quarts. Black raspberries i'm the same
state average between 1.400 quarts
per acre. and the purple varieties aver
age between LOO and 1900 quarts.
Yields in different sections as we'll as
from different varieties vary greatly.
Plants of the different varieties OF
raspberres may be secured from any
reliable nursery and usually In start
ing new plantation this is done.
Many grower. having an established
plantation propagate their own stock.
To propagate new plants, the tips
Of the new canes Of black raspberries
and Of the purple varieties now under
cultivation should be buried in moist
soil In late summer. BY the following
spring, the tips will have rooted and
formed good plants. The cane then
should be severed, leaving four TO
eight inches OF cane with the new
plant which is to be set in the field
If the tips of the canes Of black and
purple varieties are pinched Off when
they are about ~ inches high, the
canes will branch freely and a large
number Of tips for burying will be Sc
cured With many growers the first
crop from both black and purple rasp-
berry plantations Is a crop Of plants.
In fact, large part of the plants dis
tributed by nurserymen are produced
in this way by raspberry growers, who
In turn sell them to nurserymen.
Red raspberries send up new canes
from the base of the old canes, as do
black and purple varieties. In addi-
ton, they send up suckers from I'M
derground roots at various distances
from the crown Of the parent plant.
In starting new plantation the strong
est Of these suckers are used. If
quantity Of plants for setting is needed
each year for several years, it may
prove desirable to take up all plants
in a given part Of the field, both the
old ones and the suckers. BY the fol-
lowing year, solid stand Of plants
suitable for setting will have sprung
up from the pieces Of roots left in the

Capital In Dairy Farming.

Very few people realize the amount
of money invested in the dairy farms
of the country. The department Of
agriculture reports that on January
/, 1918. there were 23,3S4,OOO mich
cows on farms in the United States,
and these cows were valued at 81 ,643,-
$4,000. Add to this figure the value
of lands, buildings and machinery
used In dairy farming, and the aggre-
gate is stupendous.
The investment In individual dairy
farms varies considerably. being in
fluenced by land values, the number
and kind of buildings, and the quality
Of the cattle kept. A modern dairy
Of so cows, capable Of producing
daily average of 500 quarts Of milk,
would require an investment in equip
ment of approximately $4,000. This
would be divided as follows:

Added to this would be the value of
horses and horse barn, dwelling house,
harnesses farm machinery, etc.
The value Of the land itself Is the
included in this estimate because Of
it's variability. If land worth $50 an
acre is used, the land investment
would he close to $4,000. If $500 land
is bought, it's cost would approximate
$4,000.
