WHAT CAUSES srUNTlNe?
By A s. Alexander, M. D.

By A $. Alexander, M. D. c
 StuntinS of young animals is a serious matter. Steps to prevent stunting really should begin before the animal is born. To that end it is necessary and profitable to feed the pregnant animal well, so that she may properly nourish her young and have plenty of milk for it when it is born:
 Calves are stunted by feeding milk in large quantities twice a day. The natural way to feed calves is to allow a little milk often, and certainly not less than three times a day. The milk should be warm, the milk pail clean and the calf should be made to drink slowly.
 Lambs fail to grow fast because the ewes have been wintered or coarse, cry. bulky roughage. Colts are stunted for the same reason, and also because the mares are made to work too soon and too hard after foal- Ing and allowed to suckle their young when hot. sweaty and tired
 Worms are the most common and certain cause of stunting. They are certain to infest and injure every ami nal that grazes short grass on old pasture long used by animals. Each kind of animal taints the pasture with the parasites peculiar to it.
 Pigs afflicted with piles or prolapse of the rectum have been stunted and often prove a total loss. Lack of ex. ercise, constipation and feeding o1 some irritant, such as unscreeneG ground oats, containing hulls. are com mon causes. Prolonged heavy feedine of boiled potatoes is another cause | Stufing young pigs on corn and con tining them to a pen also causes stunt ing, as well as rickets or paralysis.

THE PRICE OF MILK.

The Regional Milk Commission for New England announced last week an increase in the price for milk in Bos- ton and vicinity. of E cent per quart for August and September The prices announced are 15c per quart delivered at homes and 14c per quart at stores. These are the highest prices ever paid for milk in New Eng land. Other cities are falling in line with the Boston advance, several of them going to 15c per quart to family trade.
 The redeeming features in the recent advance are that all the authorities agree that milk at 15c or even more is still the cheapest form of animal food, and that the advance in price is wholly passed along to the producers whose need of an advance was abundantly proven.
 Richard Pattee. Manager of the New England Milk Producers Assoeia ton in commenting upon the recent ad vance, stated that this and the ad- vance made in July were the first and only instances in New England when | an increase in price was wholly paid ! over to milk producers. Previ ously the dealers have absorbed at least 50 per cent, of any advance in the sell ] ing price of milk.
 In July the Commission advanced l the price to consumers F cent per quart and gave the producers an ad- vance of Ss of a cent. All of the Aug ust and September advance will go tC the farmers. The price is subject to . surplus arrangement which will have ] slight effect as there will be very lit. 1 tie surplus the remainder of the year
 Subject to the surplus plan tn.
 producers are now. getting more thar they ever got before and Is cent peI quart more than they got last winter
 A part of this increased price is ab l sorbed in higher freight rates and wal taxes.
 The added cost of labor and grair have so affected production that tho farmer finds himself but slightly bet

 In a letter to John Hurley of Frank lin street. Corporal John c Ludwig, of the supply company of the 5Sth Ar t1llery regiment, which was written cn July IS. the day Gen Foch sent the American soldiers forward in the beginning of the flank attack against the Germans speaks of driving a car in a road where shells were falling 2 feet from him. The letter follows: Cournon, France, July IS, 1918 Dear John: Just T few lines to let you know that l am among the lIy- ing. 1 have been very busy of late | driving a truck, but got a day off to- | day as l expect to go and get tour ing car for the captain, SO I thought l would write few letters and this i Is about the tenth I wrote with more 1 to go.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS
IMPORTANT WORK IN AUGUST.


 No wonder there is a big death rate in summer. Exposure to the hot sun in the daytime and torment through out the night by vermin are enough to kill off any flock. Careful humane poultrymen provide generous shade
 from the hot sun and. by the use of disinfectants and other precautions.
 keep lice off the premises. It is just as important for poultrymen to keep
 down the louse crop as it is for gar deners to keep down the weeds. Although the temperature is not any
 higher TOW than in July, August weather is more depressing for the
 reason that last months hot spell left the stock in a more or less weakened condition It is therefore important that every effort be made for the com fort of the flock
 The molting season is near at hand and it is necessary that the fowls be in a strong state to successfully go through the process of growing new feathers. The strain is in the growing of the new crop and not in casting of the old coat. Weakened fowls are un-
 able to endure the strain, and conse- quently a large number may die. This is a good month to hatch fry ing chickens for sale in late fall Keer

 All stock not intended to be kept
 over winter should now be marketed August is a good time to caporize cockerels.
 All unoccupied poultry yards should be plowed or spaded up and sown tc rye or a mixture of rye and clover I This will not only furnish green stuff l for winter but it will disinfect the | soil. Unless the soil is annually dis | infected by some green crop it evil

ALL-THE-YEAR HOG NATURE.

Pasture is the pigs paradise The longer the pasture lasts. the bigger will be the paradise. If the pasture lasts all year, the pigs will have an everlasting paradise until they be- come pork. Here is the way to have lasting paradise for sixty to seventy five head of hogs:
 Divide the hog pasture into four parts having the relative size of the four lots shown, and put a watering trough in the middle. Handle the lots as follows:
 Lot l.: Sow with rye late in August or early in September, about one and one-half to two bushels of seed to the acre. This will do to pasture from December to May. In the spring blow ! the rye under and SOW soy beans for , pasture the following September and | October
 Lot ?: This lot needs no attention l until early next spring, when oats and rape should be seeded on it to ] furnish pasture for the hogs as soon as they are removed from the rye on 1 Lot 1 in May This will keep them supplied with pasture till the last of June. It can be pastured again in August until the soy beans are ready l on Lot l. Then when the hogs are 1 placed on the soy beans. Lot car be plowed under and seeded with rye
 which will do to pasture in December
 and until the following May
 Lot 3: This lot should be seeded 1 with rape about the first of May. Ii
 can be pastured from the last of June until the middle of August when the
 hogs are put back on Lot ?. It car
 be pastuced again when the hogs are through with the soy-beans on Lot 1 until the rye is ready on Lot ?
 Lot 4: This is a permanent pasture of alfalfa. and should be seeded the latter part of August. This lot is useC
 as a sort of a reserve pasture fol
 times when other lots might not bt

 My Dearest Folks: I have a whole stack of letters from you thar have arrived during the last week: some of them coming direct, while others took d more rounda bout route The last one was the one I have been looking for though; that was the one in which you acknowledged the card I sent. Am glad you received it all right. for imagine you were rather worried un- til it did come
 In the two letters which should have reached me first you enclosed some stamps, Well. I was at the Y. NJ. C. A. canteen the other day and one of the I. M. C.

We are also fur 1 nished with smoking tobacco. You see we are used great!
 Now you folks don't want to look seriously on my being over here Ev- erything is just the same with us as | if we were at home.
