Il Hog lice must be eliminated from
the hog pens and from the hog hides
|Iif the swine are to be safeguarded
| from cholera, tuberculosis and other
diseases. 1t is commonly known
fact that lice and cholera go together.
The lice weaken the constitution OF
the hog and make it more susceptible
to disease. Dipping or spraying with
crude oil or any of the commercial
preparations on the market will eff
lfectively kill both lice and mites. With

oiler Then if the hog is neglected
it can take care of the lice question
Itself There are any number of oilers
on the market that are both cheap and
efficient. Hog houses should be
sprayed occasionally with the oil or
dip.

ming Monitor for publication: In last
weeks issue of your paper you spoke
of some one producing 26 bushels of
wheat per acre, this being one Of the
best yields around here. Better than
that, Joens Bros. (Henry and Benz
living southwest of town, had 40 acres
of grain. Five acres of spring wheat
produced 40 bushels, wagon meas
ure. The IS acres of oats produced
391a loads of grain over what the
grasshoppers took. One load that was
weighed had over &C bushels on it.
Doesn't this speak we'll for at least
one farm in Iowa township, Crawford
county,"

be helped materially for next year, &C.
cording to the farm management de-
partment at Iowa State college. The
blowing, preparation of seed bed and
sowing can all be done in the fall,
when there is a slack of other work
on the farm. This distribution of la
Dor will give the farmer more time
to carry on the other farm operations
next spring.
One way to keep hog cholera from
reaching your herd of swine, says the
veterinary extension man at Iowa
State college, is to burn to ashes or
cover with quick lime and bury under
four feet of earth all dead animals and
the viscera removed from animals at
butchering time. Otherwise, they at
tract buzzards, dogs and other scav-
engers that are likely to carry infec-
tion from one place to another. If hog
cholera appears in a neighborhOOd,
confine your dog and encourage your
neighbors to do the same. A dog is
one of the most likely ways of carry
| ing cholera from one farm to another.
Ernest Mossmann is doing consider
able building on the farm located
about one and half miles southwest
of West Side. While he was very busy
| he found time for a visit, which I
greatly enjoyed. He is having two
corn cribs built, one will be 3Ox32 and
the other 32x33. The last one will al
so contain bins for storing small grain.
A garage has just been built, it is
18Xl8.
Clair Nicholson tells me that he has
bought a car load of high grade bred
heifer Hereford cattle, which will

cattle Clair is located in section nine,
East Boyer town ship, and is also
building up great herd of Hampshire
swine. He has bought tops from the
best he could locate, and it will not
be strange if he succeeds, for he is
greatly interested in these swine and
will give them good care.
Gus Brocksen recently bought fifty
head of steers in St. Paul and has
placed them on his 240 acre farm To-
Gated two miles southwest of West
Side. He now has herd of 107 steers
and also has $50 spring pigs, which
looks like he will find plenty of en-
ployment this winter to care for them.
All of the farm with the exception of
100 acres is fenced hog tight and the
100 will be fenced soon, for he now
has the wire on the farm.

ing down two old buildings on the
farm one and three-fourth miles south.

will be built, and it will be a good one
too. 1t will be 24x24. Fay has nice
