Wolves in Cattle

About this time of the year cattle are commonly affected with grubs, 'kar- bles" or wolves in the back. Seventy to 80 per cent of southern cattle are said to be affected
 The eggs are deposited on the skin during the summer months by the warble fly or OK gadfly. The eggs hatch and the young grubs penetrate the skin and de- velop just beneath it. Some claim that the cattle lick themselves and thus take in the eggs. which hatch, the grub pierc- structures under the skin. where they develop.
 They develop under the skin for about ID months, after which time they emerge Gin the spring) as full-grown warbles. They drop to the ground and burrow un- der the soil Here they develop for about 30 days, and the result is the mature war ble fly.
 The grubs in the back prevent proper development of the animal, causing con- siderable irritation and pus formation. The value of the hide of the animal is materially reduced.
 Treatment consists in standing the af- feeted animal on a board or cement floor, squeezing out the grubs by hand onto the floor and killing them. Fine forceps may be used to assist in removing the grubs from the swellings. In the early ing a small amount of kerosene may be injected into the mass by means of a machine oil can. This destroys the grubs.
 To prevent the flies laying eggs on the animals in the summer. a per cent so- lution of creolin may be sprayed on the cattle.

Boys, Girls Must Farm
By ". 0. PALMER

Farming is fully as much a boys and girls problem as 1t is a problem of production. If the boys and girls have not been interested in the farn, they Will likely leave. That means tha end or that farm home in 10 or 20 years and a tenant will likely follow on the farm. and the ones who should be on it will likely be in town work ing for wages. That farm home has in measure been a failure. Give ths boys and girls on the farm recreation; a social center is one solution. Give them good consolidated school with its many advantages, and give the boy or girl a chance to learn that the farm produces things of value to them by letting them have a pig or calf or acre to care for as their own and to market as their own and then have the proceeds to spend as they choose. This develops the ownership idea and the spirit of independence. When the hey or girl Is given nothing to raise ape market as their own, the hired man or dependent attitude is too often developed.

TRACTOR KEEPS BOY ON FARM

How to keep the boys on the farm, has been the subject of solemn edi- torial comment for many years.
 Experts on boy psychology have talk en up the problem. They have formed clubs. They have gotten up corn growing contests Other keep-the boy on-the farm advocatees have boosted the agricultural colleges.
 All these agencies have helped. But while all these specialists have planned and worked and spent money. along comes the Avery tractor and shows how to get right to the farmboy' s heart.
 It is quite simple. Just equip the farm with the best and latest machin- cry, and let boy nature take it's course.

Agricultural Army

In the field of agriculture we have agencies and instrumentalities, fortunate ly. such as no other government in the world can show. The department of agri- culture Is undoubtedly the greatest prac- tical and scientific agricultural organi- ga tion in the world. It's total annual bud get of $46,000,0 GOO has been increased dur ing the last four years more tban 72 per cent. It has a staff of 1S,Wo, in- cluding large number of highly trained experts, and alongside of it stand the unique land-grant colleges, which are without example elsewhere, and the 69 state and federal experiment stations. These colleges and experiment stations have a total endowment of plant and equipment of $172,00O,000 and an income of more than $35 GOO, 900, with 10,21 teach CTS, resident student body of 125,000 and vast additional number receiving instruction at their homes. County agents joint officers of the department of agriculture and of the colleges, are everywhere cooperating with the farm CTS and assisting them. The number of extension workers under the SmithLever act and under the recent emergency leg islation has grown to $500 men and wom- ell working regularly in the various com munties and taking to the farmer the latest scientific and practical informa- tion. Alongside these great public agen- cies stand the very effective voluntary organizations among the farmers them selves which are more and more learn ing the best methods of cooperation and the best methods of putting to practical use the assistance derived from govern mental sources.-F From President Wilson's to farmers.

Uses for Flour Sacks

Since the price of muslin and vari- ous kinds of white cotton materials has advanced these few hints about the use of flour sacks may prove of interest to some housewives:
 Four small sized flour sacks put to- gether with rick rack braid and edged with the same make a very attractive and inexpensive lunch cloth.
 Two large sacks sewed together and nicely hemmed are useful for sheets for baby's crib. Another thing the lar ger sacks can be used for is quilt lin ings. Wash the lettering all out and dye a pretty shade of pink or blue. Comfort protectors are also very pret- ty made of flour sacks and neatly hem stitched across the top.
 Childrens underwear made of these sacks lasts much longer than muslin and launder very nicely.
 Other useful. articles made of these sacks are inner pillow cases, dish tow els, dust cloths and stove lifters.-Mrs l. J. H

Watch the Potato Bug

Since our nation is involved in the greatest war the world has ever known, and the greater part of the burden of suc- cessfully terminating the war rests on the shoulders of the American farmer, the farmer should do his very best to grow as much foodstuffs as is in his power and he should also grow a variety of foodstuffs. Therefore, in the south, the Irish potato should receive marked attention, as it is a very desirable food. We need to be on guard against the Colorado beetle. commonly called the potato bug"
 The time to control the potato bug is in the early spring. When he first makes his appearance it is good plan to crush him between two hard substances You will be able to find him near the roots of the plant, or in little cracks which appear in the soil about the potato patch. Let us wage a potato bug war this spring. and let's get start on our potatoes Xiii out the first bugs. Spray and use powdering preparations later in the sea- son. I saw a potato patch last fall that had been practically devastated by po- tato bugs. Not leaf remained in the whole patch, Kill the potato bug.

After Pigs Are Weaned
NvMNoIH .M .o kn

The management of the brood SOW aft CT weaning her spring litter is a matter of considerable importance There are q number of factors that will cause the summer management 10 vary. Among the more important factors are: The age or litters-one or two raised per year.
 If it is a mature SOW and you plan to raise fall litter, you probably have fed her well, and if the SOW should begin to gain in flesh when the litter is from to 10 weeks old and in most cases the SOW will come in heat then so you can breed her for early fall pigs. We find at the experiment station Qdaho) that if we don't get sows to farrow the first of August or the first of September we cannot get an early litter the following spring, and the pigs do not get a good start for winter, especially in the higher wet sections of the state. Brood sows should have large. roomy pasture which will afford plenty of exercise and suc- culent feed, both of which are indispensa- ble for strong, thrifty filters. In ad- dition to their pasture. their feed should consist of oats, shorts and barley or wheat and usually some tankage As to the amount of feed that will vary with the individual SOW. but one should try to feed enough to get her up in good thrifty condition for farrowing. The barley and wheat could not well be left out of the ration after the sows get up in flesh since they are mainly fat formers.
 On the other hand, if your mature SOW is not to raise fall litter and you n- tend to breed for spring pigs, turn her out on good pasture and see that she has, plenty of fresh water and shade. with a small allowance of barley or oats Such treatment will build up her constitution and general condition as nothing else will. Continue this method of handling until time to bring her up in condition for another seasons breeding It is true that some breeders carry mature sows through the summer on pasture alone with water and shade) very good con- dition, but most breeders prefer to use a small amount of grain in addition to the pasture.
 Young sows will need better feed New CT turn gilt out with a lot of old sows after raising her first litter She will fare badly when she should have the best of feed and care to grow her out as she should be- If you allow this gilt to run along thin she will always be undersized and common. Young sows should be lib- erally fed in addition to good pasture Use such a grain mixture as was sug- gested for the mature SOW that raises two filters per year and use plenty of it. and remember that you are after bone and muscle, nH fat.

Thumps in Little Pigs

When pigs are from to 10 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 in dication is a litle roll of fat around the neck While there is no known cure for thumps, the trouble is quite easily pre- vented Plenty of exercise for the pigs is the answer. In cold, stormy weather out-of-door exercise is impossible, but if a central farrowing house with an aleyway is used, get the little fat fel- lows into the alley and put in about 10 or 15 minutes three or four times day chasing them with buggy whip, until they are pretty well tired out. If this is impossible. try putting one or two of the little pigs at 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 barrel hunting for corner to climb out generally will take the exer- else necessary to ward off thumps considerable part of the battle is won if the litter gets past the first 10 days or so with good start.

Fertilizer for Oats

Eighty pounds of acid phosphate per acre drilled in with oats in five-year rotation of corn, oats, wheat clover and timcthy at the Ohio agricultural expe- rinient station have returned 9A bushels gain .ilo crop yield, as an average for the 24 years of experiment. The investment of 80 cents has re- turned s5.5o in increased yields at pres ent market prices
 While oats are generally left unfertil- ized in usual farm practice, since heavy fertilization causes the straw to grow rank and lodge, a moderate application of acid phosphate generally pays well on soils of low fertility. Oats on the ex- pertinent station farm at Wooster have yielded S2 bushels without fertilizer and 4114 bushels from this light application of acid phosphate. Other fertilizers have proved less profitable than the acid phosphate.-W Weekly Press Bulletin Ohio Experiment Station.
