To Prevent Loco Poisoning; Cures for Good Animals.

Range live stock in large areas ot
 the western states is constantly sub ject to poisoning by loco weeds which
 ii eaten freely, cause symptoms ol
 madness or insanity, and eventually
 death. This danger is especially great
 when grass is short nd the animal.
 are obliged to rely on weeds and bush
 es for food.
 There are three poisonous locoes-, purple loco, white loco, and the blue loco or "rattleweed" of Arizona and New Mexico.
 The purple loco weed is a peren- nial which grows in patches on adobe soils, attaining height of 8 feet, and generally occupying space of about feet in diameter. Its flowers are rath- CT inconspicuous, being deep purple in color. It is sometimes called "wooly" loco, because it's leaflets are densely covered with hairs. It occurs as far north as South Dakota, as far south as Mexico, as far west as Arizona, while it's eastern limit is central Kan sas and Nebraska.
 The white loco, familiar in Wyom- in4 Montana, and Colorado, is called the "stemless loco," because it has no true stem. Its habitat is from Alaska to Mexico, as far east as central Min nesota, and as far west s central Utah and Arizona. It grows abundantly on sandy soils, and in parts of Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana at this weeds blossoming time large areas are as white as though covered with snow.
 The blue loco of Arizona, New Mex ico and parts of Colorado, Utah and California, grows abundantly, appear ing in some localities early in Febru- ary and maturing and drying up early in the summer. This plant is poison ous to cattle and sheep, but is espe- cially injurious to cattle and horses. Misconception has confused with the locoes several leguminous plants which are either harmless, or valu- able as forage crops. However, there are only three true loco varieties.
 Most locoed animals can be cured, but they should be worth enough to warrant a somewhat extended course of treatment. The first and most im- portant need is to supply them with plenty of nutritious feed, such as al- falfa, grain, oil meal, and proper pas turage, so that they will not be obliged to resort to loco weed for food. Med ical treatment, such as is outlined full ly in Farmers Bulletin 1054, should also be followed. Rapid recoveries can hardly be expected, as the condition existing in case of chronic loco pois- oning has been developed by weeks or months of loco feeding, which means that the rate of recovery, stehecessarily be slow. However, where the animals are treated careful ly and conscientiously along the lines suggested by the United States de- partment of agriculture, much valu- able range stock may be saved.
 Loco poisoning can be largely pre- vented by proper handling of live stock. As stock commonly contract the habit Of loco feeding in times of short feed, stoclmen should provide plenty of good hay at such periods. On some ranges the loco weed has .

Dominant Livestock Breeds In Counties to Be Listed.

Practical experience has demon. strated the desirability of communi. ties concentrating on the production of only few breeds and types of the different classes of live stock. Such management not only enables the indi. vidual farmers to aid each other in i'm. proving and upgrading their stock, but also gains for the communities wide regulations as centers for certain breeds. The raising of several domin. ant breeds in any community makes that locality the mecca for prospect i've purchasers who are desirous oi buying animals of those breeds, and also makes it possible for buyers to obtain stock in large quantities.
 For the service of persons interested in examining or selecting live stock the department will keep a record of the dominant breeds and varieties of the different kinds of live stock in each county where such information is obtained from accurate and depend able sources. Pending future devel- opments in this work, breed or var iety will be considered dominant if 100 or more good pure-bred sires of that breed or variety are owned and used for breeding in a county. Sources of information concerning these farm an imals will include county agents, off, ficers of state agricultural colleges, and representatives of state boards of agriculture. The department requests that state and county live stock asso- citations transmit figures and all data available on pure-bred sires of their region to their local county agent or the state agricultural college. This material should include statement of the number of pure-bred sires in the county, together with the date when the information was gathered. Initia- tive in collecting and reporting these data rests entirely with the county and state officials.
 Information gathered in this way by the department of agriculture will be available to the public. Thus persons wishing to purchase any kind of live stock may ascertain readily what counties in the United States, accord ing to the records, have pure-bred sires of the various breeds in which they are interested. Naturally, where as many as 100 pure-bred sires are used in community, these herd-head- CTS will stamp their quality to a con- siderable extent on the live stock of that county and lead to the production of many desirable grade females, as we'll as pure-bred stock of both sexes Furthermore, iii counties where cer- tain breed is considered dominant even though there are less than 100 pure-bred sires, such facts should be reported and will be kept as supple records.

For Tanning Any Kind of Furs.

Here are two recipes and both have been used with much success. These are printed upon the request of many subscribers:
 l. Tack the skin tightly on board; scrape off the loose fat and work in chalk, rubbing it in well. When the chalk begins to powder and fall of re- move the skin from the board and rub in plenty of powdered alum. Wrap up closely and keep in a dry place fol a few days. This makes the hide pli- able. It will retain its hair.
 2. Mix two parts saltpeter and one of alum. Sprinkle on the flesh side of the skin; roll it up and lay it in cool place. After a few days spread out to dry. Scrape of the fat and rub until the hide is pliable.

Methods Used to Keep Bark on Log Rustic Buildings.

Frequently builders of rustic build ings desire information as to how to retain bark on the logs used. The forest products laboratory of Madi- son, Wisconsin, recommends the fol- lowing methods:
 1. Cut timber in late summer and cut of narrow strips of bark on op- posite sides for the entire length. Pile the timbers in open piles, in a shady place to permit thorough slow season. ing. Season during the greater part of a whole year. Before using, an ad- ditional treatment is sometimes em- ployed, consisting of brushing coal tar creosote on the stripped portions of the log soon after removing the bark and again just prior to constructing the building.
 2. The second method consists merely of mailing the bark to the un- deriving wood, after which the nail heads are painted the same color as the bark. Large headed nails or long tacks are used, one to every square foot of bark. Cut the timber in late summer as in the first method; or of ten no attention is paid to the time of cutting.

Early Preparation of Soil Is Recommended.

Early Preparation of Soil
 Is Recommended.
 Extension Agroonomist s. P. Clark, of the Arizona college of agriculture, urges early preparation of the ground.
 MT. Clark states:
 From experiments conducted by the agricultura lexperiment station of Arizona it has been proved that the earlier the ground is prepared the bet ter will be the returns the following season.
 By giving the ground thorough, deep blowing as early in the fall and winter as possible number of re- suits are secured. It gives the winter rains a better opportunity to soak into the soil as reserve moisture; a great many insect pests hibernate in the soil and by fall or winter blowing these are exposed to the air and a great many are destroyed by the breaking of the cocoon by the action of frost, or by birds and rodents.
 Further benefit to the soil is the action of frost in breaking down the mineral matter in the soil, thus mak- ing the plant food more available. To expose the roots of noxious weeds to the action of frost helps very mater ially in the eradication of these pests"

Dead Animals Fed to Hogs May Spread Tuberculosis.

Warning against the feeding of dis eased cattle carcasses to hogs is sounded by the United States depart ment of agriculture. A conference of state and federal officials, held early in October, to deal with matters of tuberculosis eradication, brought to light numerous instances where hogs contracted tuberculosis after feeding on carcasses of tubercular cattle. In one case nearly an entire drove of hogs showed lesions of tuberculosis, which at first the owner could not ac- count for. Later he admitted to the veterinarion investigating the case that several months before he had fed to the hogs the carcass of COW that never did very we'll"
 The bureau of animal industry urges live stock owners to have care full autopsy made on animals dying on the farm or killed because of sickness. in order that the definite cause Of trouble may be learned. Carcasses that show lesions of infectious dis eases should not be fed. Instead, such carcasses should be cared for so that no part can be eaten by hogs. Thor ough destruction of the carcass by burning, or by deep burial under ib- eral application of quicklime, is the proper procedure in such cases. At tention is called also to the danger of feeding offal from slaughtered ani- mals to swine, as such practice is another source of infection.

FARM CENSUS IN JANUARY.

number OF decades was taken In April, viii
come next January. In explanation of this

farmers are usually too busy with the rush OF
spring work in April to give the matter the
necessary attention, and besides the returns on
the crops obtained in January are more ac-
curate than those secured In the spring
This change viii make practically valueless
fer comparison much OF the census statistics
gathered In former years, that pertain to farm
stock and crops, but it is nevertheless wise
move on the part of the census officials. Why
the farm census was ever taken IN the spring
is a question which only can be solved by as
sun1ing that the early census takers were men
who knew little of their work and less of agri-
culture.
IT is announced that in the coming census the
questions viii include information on the
amount Of land on farms drained with tile and
needing drainage, and special consideration
viii be given TO matters Of land tenure, farm
mortgages and land utilization.
Farmers everywhere viii have ample oppor-

that the campaign against the spread
Of prohibition is to be conducted in
every city in America. and that a

liberty is to be formed.
The vets are overlooking one fact
and to us it seems TO be the most
important fact in connection with the

drys will have any further say In
this matter after next January All
that can be done to make this ma
ton dry has been done The re-
quired number OF states have en-
dorsed the amendment to the federal
constitution, the amendment has
been ratified and the fact has go
been made known by the secretary
of state, which is all that the law
requires, and next January the sa-
looms automatically cease to exist.
The vets may conduct campaigns
in every city, town and village in
the forty-eight states and they may
win many Of them back to liquor,
but the victory viii be short-lived.

Government IeIenranh.

Des Moines Capital: Clarence H.
Mackay. president of the Postal Tele-
graph company, in statement said
that the 20 per cent. increase in tele-
gram rates ordered by Postmaster
General Burleson means loss OF
s1f-g00.000 TO telegraph users. He de
clared his company would restore the
old rates at once if the government
would relinquish control of the Pos
tai lines. Mr. Mackay said the total
telegraph business of the country is
approximately sS0,00O0 900 a year.
Sixteen million dollars is an ex.
pensiye sum to pay for the govern
ment control of the Postal Telegraph
company. The government could use
that sum to pay some of its debts,
and it would seem to be good bust
ness to save it.
