Don't Overload Hogs.

We may have a sudden hot spell any
time now. and altho it may last only
a day much damage could be done
where farmers load their hogs too
heavily, says the Drovers' Journal.
The first warm spell is hard on
hogs and extra care should be- taken
by country owners when they are
loading hogs for market, as the tenn
are en- route.
A loss coming from overlooking hogs
is unnecessary. and this year more
than ever before farmers should be
cautious about crowding their hogs.
because Of the great need Of pork.
The average hog at Chicago last
week was worth over $40, and at pres
emit it is worth still more, as the mar
ket has advanced since then.
1t is certain that the farmers have
been more careful during the past few
years because Of the rising value Of
hogs. but some insist on loading in 4
careless manner.
After the hogs become accustomed
to warmer weather, they will not suf-
fer so much from the heat, but it is
the best policy from now on to I'M
derload rather than overload.
Careful loading Of hogs shows effi-
cheney and brings in maximum profits
to the shipper. Often in the past a few
dead hogs in transit have turned profit
into loss.
Hogs which are in good condition
when loaded into the cars, and which
have room enough for comfort, usually
get to the market in good shape.
! The hoe. shipper owes it to himself
and to the nation to save every hog
that he loads FOR market, and when he
overloads them he is taking unneces-
sary chances.

HOW TO PLANT LOW TEST CORN.
Specialist Describes Simple Methods
Which Help to Avoid Poor Stands.

Danger that imperfect stands OF
corn may result from an improper un-
Outstanding regarding the extent to
which the rate of seeding should De
increased with seed Of low termination
has prompted a specialist OF the bu-
reau Of plant industry to devise simple
tables showing how to increase the
rate when poor seed is used. Many
farmers thruout the northern part of
the corn belt will De compelled to use
seed of relatively low termination this
year. II the fact is realized and the
low viability or terminating power is
Offset by properly increasing the rate
of seeding, there is little reason to fear
the reduction in yield.
Determining the correct rate OF
seeding is not as simple as would at
first appear To increase the seeding
in the same ratio that the same ger
mination is reduced will by no means
insure an equivalent stand. There may
be the same number Of plants but
their distribution will be more irreg-
ular and consequently there will be
greater percentage of hills without
plants The following tabulation shows
the correct number Of seeds per hill
of different termination percentages
that should be planted to avoid having
a greater number Of hills without
plants than there would be with seed
of good termination, say IS per cent,
planted at the rate Of four seeds in a
hill:
If the seed tests 80 per cent, plant
six seeds to the hill; If IS per cent,
seven; 50 per cent. eight; Is per cent,
nine; 70 per cent, ten; 65 per cent.
twelve; so per cent, fourteen; 50 per
cent, sixteen; 50 per cent eighteen.
Owing to the mechanical difficulties
Of planting more than seven or eigh.
seeds per hill. plantirk in drills should
| be adopted where seed of low ger
mination is used. Planting in drills
does not materially alter the rate at
which seeding should be increased for
reduced termination.

Cattle.
Cattle were in good demand at the
highest prices Of the year.
The spread had a tendency to narrow
little. Compared with week ago

while some of the good to choice kinds
slightly below top grade were up more
and most OF the underweight plain lots
were not over SO cents above last
weeks close.
Receipts Friday were estimated early
at 1000 and later at 5000, standing
over 1000 short of last Friday and
nearly four times as large as a year
ago. Five days supply aggregated S.
900, nearly 10000 less than same period
last week and $4,000 more than CORE

Seven western markets were credit
ed with 1s,eeH, OF 1900 less than

Sheep.
A large share Of the supply Of sheep
went to killers direct.
Early today packers bid up to s20.5o
for some Colorados, and the demand
seems urgent despite the phenomenal
prices.
1t is the belief OF the trade that old
records will be. far out-distanced be-
fore the crest OF the seasons advance

natives will work up as well.
This weeks supply was unusually
small, and sellers held the advantage
every session. The demand was good
for shorn stock despite the seasonable
increase in this class of offerings, and
the top yesterday at s17.40 was Is cents
higher than the record last May.
Everything is in favor Of the pro-
Queer, and the outlook is unusually
good. Even weighty arrivals are find

ITS CAUSES AND ITS CURE

This disease is never fatal, but re-
lapses are common
In the mild cases withdrawal
from school and rest in bed are the
proper steps to take. The room
must be well ventilated. No excite
ment or effort must be permitted.
At first the diet should consist ex-
clusively of milk, followed later by
cereals, vegetables and eggs.
In the severe cases special meas
ures are required on the part Of the
physician. 1t may be necessary to
combat the rheumatic element &C
lively. Certain drugs, skilfully used,
relieve the most distressing sYmp-
toms.
School must be given up until re-
covery is complete. COnvalescence
will progress best in some place
away from the big city. Daily bath
ing and generous feeding are ad-
visable in the later stages. Chroni-
cally diseased tonsils should be re-
