FLEAs INJURIOUS TO FOWLS
sticktight Variety Found in Many
Southern States Is of Importance
Few Other Types.

From the United States Department of
Agriculture)
Southern poultry raisers' have an
additional poultry pest to combat
aside from lice and mites. 1t is the
sticktight flea, or Southern chicken
flea, which in many parts of the South
and Southwestern states is of great i'm
portance. It has been reported as in
furious to poultry as far north as Kan
sas. This form of flea attacks a num-
Der of different hosts including poultry,
dogs, cats, and some wild animals. IN
like other species the adult feas re-
main, during the greater part of their
lives, attached to the host animal, it
has been stated. In the case of pOul-
try infeStatiOn 1eas are most common
on the heads of the hosts, where they
are to be seen in groups or patches.
This habit of attacking in clusters
seems to be we'll marked, and an in
tested fowl often may be recognized
at a considerable distance by the dark
flea covered areas about the eyes, comb
and wattles. When the fieas are ex-
cessively abundant they may be found
in similar patches on the neck and va
rious parts of the body. The injury
is most marked in young chickens,
which when fairly heavily infested
often die quickly. Older fowls are
more resistant, but have been known
to succumb to very heavy infestations;

EASY WAY TO HARVEST CORN

prepared by the United States Depart

Huskjng corn from. standing stalks
is one of the biggest jobs where corn
is principal crop. Extra labor, hired
by the day or bushel, is usually re-
uufred. If you have trouble in obtain
ing enough labor to ,husk your crop,
try to rent a mechanical picker, if a
machine of satisfactory type is avail
able. About seven acres seems to be
a fair days work for one of these ma
chimes. and it's crew of three men and
three teams. Two wagons are re-
nuired-one unloading while the. other
ia .being filled. This makes $50 BUSH
els in corn yielding 80 bushels per
mere. and It takes four hfgn-class men
tusking by hand to average this
amount throughout the season. Old
men or boys who would be able to do
only a small amount of WORK In husk-
ing by hand can do just as good and
as much work with the machine AZ

Hoqs Kept Under Conditions Here
Shown Are More Susceptible to Dis
ease Than Those Kept Under Sanl-
tary Conditions.
Animals that show indications of sick
ness should be Immediately isolated
and the premises thoroughly disinfect-
ed. New hogs brought to the farm
should be isolated or Quarantined for
several days before they are permitted
to run with the herd.
Hogs, and especially young pigs,
often suffer much from lice. When
numerous, lice are a serious drain on
vitality, fattening is prevented by
them, and hogs so affected are very
much more subject to disease. To
eradicate lice, dip. spray, or rub hogs
with crude oil, crude-ol emulsion, or
kerosene-oil emulsion every ten days
for three or four applications.
A very troublesome affection with
hogs, is caused by a mite or parasite
that pri2ks the skin of the hog to get
tissue fluid. This injury produces a
rcd spot which finally results in
scale under which mites may be found.
The symptoms are itching followed by
a loss of hair and thickening and
cracking of the skin. Treat mango
by applying lime sulphur or nicotine
dip once every ten days for three Dip
pings. Hogs should be washed thor
Oughly with soap, water, and brush
before dipping, to remove the scales.

FLAXSEED VS.. WHOLE MILK

Any successful method that VIII c1t

Calves fed in this manner did nst

milk, but at the end Of the six nneE1RG
there was practically no difference i'm

pounds less in weight. But consider
ing that $40 worth of whole milk per
calf had been saved in the six msnfkr

gressive pieces of legislation enacted
in the state for many years. The Mis-
sissippi commissioner of agriculture
says that if the necessity for such
law had been realized four .ears prior
to its passage, Mississippi would no
doubt be the greatest cattle-prOducing
state in the Union at the present time.
The people WHO were responsible for
getting this law on the statute books
fOresaw the possibilities for the per-
manent development of Mississippi's
resources and turning into profit the
abundance of pasture grass WHICH had
annually gone to waste or was eaten,
by unthrifty cattle to make blood to
feed ticks.
Work in Louisiana.
Louisiana passed q statewide tick
eradication law in 1917, and at the
time it was under consideration plant
erS, cattlemen and others throughout
the state hastily sent to their various
lawmakers flood of kilograms urg-
ing them to support the measure. This
statewide law did not become effec-
tive until the first of last April. Rec
Ords show that during March 100000
clippings were made under state or
federal supervision, while in April the
figures leaped to 100000 and i'm
creased to over 100000 during each
of the following two months. Louis
lana demonstrated that a state cannot
afford to wait on few uniformed
stockmen who are opposed to dipping
nd foSl0
themselves of the benefits to be de-
rived from complete eradication.
The entire South is looking forward
with confidence to an era Of great
prosperity in the cattle industry as
the net gradually closes around the
last cattle tick

SWINE USE WASTE PRODUCTS
It Is Necessary to Have Number Of
Pigs on Hand TO Consume All of
PerishabIe Feeds.

prepared by the United States DEPART
ment Of Agriculture)
Under ordinary conditions hogs
return the largest profit when raised
to utilize waste products, and when
kept for this purpose alone the number
will depend upon the quantity of waste
Products to be consumed. Skim milk
from dairy herds; shattered grain
from grain fields; unmarketable prod
uctS from the truck farm; undigeSted
grain in the drOppings Of fattening
steers, and many other minor wastes
on the average farm are examples OF
foodstuffs which would be wasted we're
1t not for their utilization by the
thrifty farmer for the production of
pork. In order to utilize some Of these
products. it is necessary to have a
number of pigs on hand for a relative
~ short time, on account OF the per-
lShab!e nature of these feeds. The
rest of the year the fattening pigs and
'he breeding stock must be maintained
upon feed raised expressly for their
consumption, and while they are not

IN the corn belt where hogs are raised

During June 995 dipping watts were

council Of defense firmly indorses the
cattle tick campaign as n food con-
servatiOn measure and in this it has
the support of the governor of the
state.
Food Conservation Measure.
In statement just issued by the
Oklahoma state council Of defense
this body goes ON record as regarding
the eradication of cattle tick, which
conveys disease which kills thou
sands of beef-producing animals and
makes scrubs of all in a quarantine
area, most important food conserva-
ton measure. At a meeting of the
council a resolution was passed direct
ing county councils to indOrSe the
action of the state and federal agents
in every way possible. 1t is hoped, the
statement says, that no misguided citi-
zen, for reasons which may appear
to him of personal Importance, will in
any way lend himself to the creation
of any opposition to this important
food conservation measure which will
also contribute very materially to the
prosperity of the state.
Benefit of Eradication.
The benefit to be derived from Grad
Icating the tick is shown by the inn
proved conditions after quarantine has
been lifted. Restrictions ON shipments
of cattle have been removed, the loss
from tick fever has been eliminated.
more cattle are being raised, and a
better grade of breeding stock is be-
ing introduced. Calves grow faster.
cattle put on flesh more rapidly dur
ing the grazing season and go into the
winter in better condition because Of
the absence of the tick. Dairy cows
give a greater yield of milk. and the
values of farm land are enhanced. In
appearance the cattle show a marked
contrast since the tick has been Grad
icated. Pure-bred cattle have been
brought in from other sections to i'm
prove the native breed without any
loss from fever. The Southern ami
mails can enter the show. ring of the
North without restrictions.
