Hogs are certainly far too valuable
to subject to the risk of cholera, a
risk which will increase as the fall

matter of business economy and safe
ty for the hog man to take no risks.
Keep Bees From Swarming.
Watch the bees through summer
and keep them near the sources of
honey.
A colony of 1000 or more bees will
manufacture from 10 to 20 pounds of
honey per day if they are properly
cared for and have enough flowers
nearby to keep them busy. Bees
should be kept busy in order to dis
courage the swarming tendency, adj
vises F. e. Millen, state apiarist. To
keep the bees working hard it is we'll
to keep the supers clean and to re-
move the honey often and it will pay
to purchase a good supply of wax for
the bees to make cones out of even
though it is high in price, because a
bee must eat 10 pounds of honey to
make one pound Of wax.
Bees are fond Of sweet clover and
and if the bees have thor
oughly worked over a field of sweet
clover or other flower 1t is a good plan
to move them to a new location. If
this Is not done the queen bee will lay
thousands of eggs; the colony will

Methods Of seeding winter wheat
will be published in the near future.
However it Is time now to prepare
and plan for the crop Anyone wish
ing further information at present
should write or call the County Agent.
The average yield of winter wheat
has been at least three bushels over
that Of spring wheat for the state of
Iowa. However for the winter killing
in this section has been a drawback
but the County Agent is of the opin-
ion that proper seeding and prepare
ton of the seed bed will alleviate such
conditions to a marked extent.

Protect the Hogs From Heat.

Much loss from shipping hogs in
hot weather can be avoided. Those
who have had experience in the ship
ping of live stock know that many
hogs die from the heat In transit at
this time of year. At present prices
this means q considerable loss to the
shipper and also waste of valuable
meat needed by the nation. Animal
husbandrymen at Iowa State College
suggest that much of this waste could
be avoided by paying little more at
tention to the hogs when they are
shipped
Sometimes the mistake is made Of
pouring water on the back of an over
heated hog. This will often hasten
It's death and should never be done.
Some shippers make the mistake Of
overlooking a car in warm weather.
This is point concerning which more
care should be taken.
Before loading, it is a good plan to
clean out the car and bed 1t with
sand, which can be wetted down thor
oughly and kept damp. Ice hung from
the ceiling in sacks of burlap will re-
duce the temperature Of the car and
also sprinkle cool water on the hogs,
preventing them from becoming too
hot. 1t is also we'll to cut down on
the corn ration shortly before ship
ping, due to the heating effect of that
feed. Oats can be substituted and
the grain ration need not be over one
pound of grain per hundredweight for
"a hours. Many shippers feed too
much while the hogs are in transit.
Immuni8e Hogs and Play Safe.
Because cholera losses are smaller
than formerly does not make immun-
izing unnecessary.
Losses Of swine from hog cholera
have been on a marked decline in Iowa
for the past few years, due to the in
crease in immunizing and other. pre-
ventative measures. In 1913, 2S.9 per
cent Of the hogs Of Iowa, or 2,709,S76
In round numbers, died from diseases.
In 1917 this percentage had dimenish-
ed to &c per cent or total of 188,909

neutrality-suspicious. of The

flight is the belief of French sci

journal published here.

No shell that failed to explode

leads experts TO suppose that the
she'll is charged with two liquid ex-
p.osives, separated by the perfor-
ated partition which is known to
exist in the center of the projectila.
When the shell is fired at a high
angle the liquid in the upper end

. Dear Mrs. Thompson: | am a
boy IS years old. yy mother is
dead, and my father, sister and l
live together. / love my sister
more than I do any girl, and l am
really jealous wnen other fellows
come to see her. She tries 10 get
me to go with girls.
One night short time ago | had
a date with a girl and my sister
had one with fellow. Sis wanted
me to bring the girl over TO our
house and have some music. took
long time getting ready and when
got over to the girls house she
had gone off with another girl. Z
was afraid Sis would tease me, so
/ called at the house of one of her
friends, a girl three years older
than l am. / told her that | had
gone for the other girl first and
asked her if she would come over TO
help me out. She is a good sport
and she came.
What l want to know is, was 1t
right for me TO tell her that l had
asked the other girl first, or should
l have just invited her over with
out saying anything? GEORGE.
In a case like yours you have to
judge by the character of the girl
Just how much ib is safe to tell her.
There are many girls who are per
fectly willing to go after other girls
have been invited if the boy is only
frank about it. There are other
girls who will not go If they know
they are invited second. It is
usually safe, though, TO be frank.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am 20
years old and was reared an or
phan without any schooling. Can
you tell me somewhere l could go
or of someone l could get to come
to my home to teach me. | would
like very much to learn to read,
write and figure. What books can
/ get to help myself?
IGNORANCE.
Go to the principal of the high
school and have him suggest what
will best suit your case. He prob
ably will know of a good teacher
who can instruct you and he will be
able to advise you what books to
get to help yourself.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: % I am
Il years old and in the eighth grade
at school. We have class parties
and the boys and girls like to play
postoffice l am the only girl that
will not play and the boys all make
fun of me for not playing end so
