SPRAYING CATTLE FOR LICE
One Per Cent Solution of Any Stand
ard Coal Tar Dip Used at
Pennsylvania College.

1t is a good practice to spray cattle
for lice in case they have found n
lodging place in the shaggy winter
growth of hair.
The spray used on the cattle at the
PENNSYLVANIA State college is l per
cent solution of any standard coal-tar
dip. The spray application is made
with a long nozzle to avoid injury to
the eyes of the one applying it. Modi-
fications of this method include the
use of a sprinkling can. Il brush. or
dipping the animal in the solution.
For convenience, animals should be
driven into stall or other enclosure
and sprayed a number at a time While
the entire body of the animal should
be sprayed, special care should be
given to application along the back
bone, the shoulders and directly back
of the horns.
A second application should be made
about 10 days after the first to destroy
insects which may have Matched from
the eggs during that time.

ROOt-knot caused by a nematode
often causes considerable injury to soy
beans in many sections Of the South
ern states where this pest is prevalent.
In sections where the pest has become
well established in the soil, soy beans
should not be planted. To plant them
is a dangerous practice, not only be-
cause the bean crop will be reduced,
but also because the pest can propa-
gate freely and greatly damage any
susceptible crop which follows the soy
beans.

is highly resistant to this disease and
has given quite good results on soils
infested with wilt.
Caterpillars sometimes eat the soy
bean foliage, but the damage from
such insects is seldom serious. The
black blister beetle has been reported
in a few cases to have done consider
able damage to soy-bean fields, but in
general this insect canncs be consid-
cred serious pest.

An Attack Of Influenza
Often Leaves Kidneys in
Weakened Condition

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of in
fuenza which has visited so many homes.
The symptoms of this disease are very
distressing and leave the system in a run

complains of lame back and urinary
troubles which should not be neglect

dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists

soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp-Root,
being an herbal compound, has a gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which

GET AHEAD OF HESSIAN FLY
Cooperative Campaign Inaugurated
by Bureau of Entomology in
Eastern Kansas.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
In eastern Kansas, where danger
from the Hessian fly threatened dur
ing the fall of 1917, a cooperative
campaign was inaugurated by the bu-
reau Of entomology, United States de-
partment of agriculture, to secure the
blowing down Of stubble, and to urge
the observance of safe planting dates
This is believed to have greatly
improved conditions which prevailed
during the spring and summer of 1913.
In Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri,
where full advantage of the safe plant
ing period was taken by growers, the
current crops of winter wheat were
excellent. Results obtained from its ex-
perimental plats have enabled this bu-
reau to forecast Hessian fly conditions
and thus to issue timely and valuable
information to wheat growers.

MUST PROVIDE FOOD
Duty DevoIving on Farmers of
This Continent.
Western Canada Well Prepared to
Meet the Needs of the Old World
1.-THE Earth Is Machine Which
Yields Almost Gratuitous Service to
Every Application of Intellect
Emerson.

Speaking with one of the commits
sioners appointed to make a survey of
the food situation in the battle-torn
countries of Europe the writer was
told that the depletion and shortage
of food was far greater than anybody
had expected. With the investigation,
which at that time had merely started,
much had been brought to light that
had only been surmised. Herds Of live
stock were completely wiped out, fields
that had been prolific yielders of grain,
roots and vegetables were terraced and
hummo"' by bombs and shells,
many them still lying unexploded
and dangerous. Until this land can be
gone over and cleaned nothing in the
way of cultivation can be carried on,
and even where that is done the work
of leveling and getting under cultiva-
ton will take a long time.
Much more devolves upon the farmer
on this side of the Atlantic than was
at first supposed. Herds of live stock
will have to be replenished, and this
will take years; the provisioning Of
the people in the meantime is the task
the farmers here will be asked to I'M
dertake. Producing countries will be
taxed to their utmost to meet this de-
mand; all that can be provided will
be needed. This need will continue
for some time, and during this period
prices will be high. The opinion of
those who have given the question
most careful thought and study is that
food scarcity will be greater than ever
before. The Allies will have to feed
Germany, Austria, Turkey and Russia
and this in addition to the require
ments of European neutrals for in
creased supplies now that there is no
submarine menace.
To the Canadian and American farm
er this means demand for his grain
fully as great as at any time in the
past. Wheat will be needed meat will
be required. The slogan don't stop
saving food is as necessary today as
ever. The purpose of this article is to
direct attention 10 the fact that hun
! dreds of thousands of acres of land
in Western Canada are still unoccu-
pied, and this land is capable of pro-
ducing enough to supply all needs. On
| its rich grasses are easily raised-and
cheaply too-the cattle that will be
sought; in its soil lies the nutriment
that makes easy the production of the
grain that will be needed, and in both
the farmer will be assured of good
profit on his investment. The land can
be purchased at low prices, on easy
terms, and with the abundance Of re-
turns that it will give, it does not mean
matter of speculation. The facts as
set out are known, and certainly are
guaranteed.
These facts, the low cost Of the land,
and its great productivity, combined
with the admirable marketing and
| Transport facilities at the disposal of
the farmer make farming in Western
Canada an attractive proposition.-Ad-
vertisement.

Weekly Health Talks
A Word About the
Kidneys
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when they
think something is the matter with their
lungs or heart, and well they may be; but
few people understand the dangers of dis
eased kidneys. These organs have a duty
of vital Importance to perform, and if they
are diseased, there is no telling how or
where the symptoms may appear. The
kidneys are filters, and when they are
healthy they remove the poisons from the
blood and purify it. When the kidneys
are diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one of these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all through
the Iystem and deposited in various places,
in the form Of urate salts-in the feet,
ankles, wrists and back-often forming
bags under the eyes. Sometimes the result
Ing trouble is called rheumatism, lumbago,
sciatica and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's dis
ease.
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that a certain combina-
ton of remedies would dissolve uric acid
(urate salts) in the system. He found this
combination to be harmless, so that he
made it up in tablets, of double strength,
and called them Anuric Tablets. They
dissolve uric acid in the human system as
hot coffee dissolyes sugar. If you have
uric acid troubles, don't delay in taking
Anuric Tablets, which can be secured in
the drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce,
too, and he will tell you what to eat and
how to live so that more uric acid will not
form in your system. DR.. Pierce will not
charge for this advice.

may be said that no insect or, fungous
pest has assumed any great economic
importance, in connection with the cul-

Rabbits are most troublesome, as

Permit Factories to Operate.

The United States fuel administra-
ton permitted the chief factories of
Bookkeeping supplies to operate on fuel
less days, and supplied one factory
with coal at a serious time, and the
post office department ruled that bees
without combs may be shipped by par
cells post. This ruling materially helps
in the proper distribution of bees
whenever there is a serious bee loss
in any part of the country.
Organization among beekeepers for
better marketing has resulted, through
the assistance of the bureau of mar
Kets, in the formation of two large CO.
operative societies.
In respect to bee culture the most
important work of the bureau of en-
tOmology was a series of field expert
ments on the behavior of European
foulbrood in the hive during the time
that it is being cleaned out by the
bees. These experiments served to
tlYow light upon the method to be used
in preventive treatment The result
of this work, which marks n new phase
in bee disease, and which promises to
yield most helpful results, soon will
be published.
