DISEASES
YIELD TO NEW METHODS
OF TREATMENT
Many Remarkable Results Re-
ported by Interstate
Doctors.

Neither wealth. position nor social
surrounding, can take the place OF
perfect health. Aside from dishonor
the most to be pited man or woman
is the one who goes from day to day.
from year TO year, half dead and half
alive.
Many Of these have made no hon
es, effort to obtain health, but as time
goes o their very lack Of hope makes
their condition more difficult to over
come.
Every man and every woman Is
entitled to the happiness that health
can give. The later and newer meth
DDS for treating disease have brought
health and hope 10 many who have
thought themselves ineurable.
Mr.. S. J. Pulley writes as follows;
"Oklahoma City, Okla,
April 20, 1919.
Five years ago ! had 10 quit my
carpenter and contracting work on
account OF bronchial and stomach
trouble. Since that time l had held
position that required practically no
physical effort and yet lost At least
one fourth Of my time. Since com
ing to Oklahoma last fall, my con-
dition was very bad and all the heif
] could get was some temporary re-
lief. On March |, 1919. called on
the Inter State Doctors and placed
myself in their hands. For more
than two weeks l have been doing .

They combine with other forces OF ma
ture all known serums and bacterins.
They are prepared TO give 'Yl| to a

Not the least of their success Is
due to their facilities for examination

For Better Herds

The Cooperative Bull association is an effective organization for freeing a community from the exasperating experience of the scrub bull that roams at large. There is scarcely a breeder who has not experienced keen disap- pointment and financial loss through unrestrained scrub bulls. In the ter ritorys covered by the cooperative bull association in one state, only one scrub bull was found where. prior to the or ganization. there had been 90 scrub bulls. The 30 scrubs have been re- placed with five registered bulls. The organization of farmers into an asso- citation for the purpose of introduce ing bulls of merit of single breed and the elimination of the scrub bull signifies that a definite plan for com munity herd improvement has been agreed upon.
 There is at present a widespread in- terest on the part of individual farm CTS in herd improvement through the use of better sires. The winter season affords an opportune time to discuss the subject with ones neighbors an1 to perfect the organization of such an association.
 Farmers Bulletin 993-Co-operativ Bull associations, which may be se- cured through application to the United States department of agricul- ture, gives information regarding these associations and practical meth ods of forming one

Watch 17-Year Locust

The year 1919 is likely to be one of the worst locust years on record. But en- tCnologists of the United States depart ment of agriculture see nothing alarm ing in the prospect.
 The periodical cicada, the real name of the insect commonly called locust, will appear this year in the following states Ala bama, District of Columbia, Delaware. Georgia, Illinois, Indiana Iowa, Ken trckqy, Maryland Massachusetts, Michi- gan, New Jersey, New York, North Caro- Una, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Vir- ginia and Wisconsin.
 The injury done by the periodical cicada consists almost wholly in chiseling gi ooves in the branches of trees for de- rositing eggs This injury always ap- pears to be greater than it actually is. Popular alarm is usually out of propor- tior to general damage.
 Young fruit trees are sometimes killed by the cicada. The precautionary meas ures are: Defer putting out young fruit trees till next year; postpone budding op- erations; do no pruning this winter or spring.
 When the insects begin coming out, hand pick them from young fruit trees or spray them with pyrethrum powder, kero- sene emulsions, or a solution of carbolic acid or acetic acid.
 Later, when the insects are ready to begin laying, spray young fruit trees with whitewash.

TIME TO GET THE HOTBED AND GOLD FRAME READY
St0ckmen Should Go Slow

Attendance diminished materially last year in the q veterinary colleges in the United States which are accredited by the bureau of animal industry of the United States department of agriculture The dean of one college reports that owing to war enlstments he lost 50 per cent of his faculty and 6s per cent of his students. The number of freshmen en- rolled in all veterinary colleges of the country for the 1917-1S sesion was 33s against eS7 for preceding year, a de- cline of about one-half. The total at tendance at all veterinary colleges shove tendence at all vererinary colleges showed a falling off of more than 800 students. A further reduction is indicated for the session of 191S-19.
 As interpreted by the bureau of anil nal industry the effects of the reduced attendance in veterinary institutions will be left more in the future than now, for the coming graduating classes will be unusually small.
 Until veterinary education and the pro fession generally can be restored to at least it's pre-war development live stock raisers are urged to use extreme care in safeguarding the health of their ami nlals All suspected cases of conta gious diseases should be reported promptly to state and federal live stock authorities. Sanitation and other preventive meas ures will help greatly in reducing ani- nal ailments. In addition there is need to encourage persons of proper fitness to engage in veterinary studies so there may be an adequate number of trained men to respond to emergency calls and for prompt control of live stock epi- demics

Country Sausage

A carefully selected all pork sausage is delicious. It may be cheapened by adding tripe. beef trimmings, cooked hog stomachs, and other scraps. These are all edible and wholesome and with prop CT seasoning will not be detected. Saul sages are further cheapened by adding corn meal or low grade flour Cred dog). For high grade, all pork sausage use only choice trimmings; reJect all gristly or bloody pieces. The mixture should be one-fourtn to third fat. For 10) pounds of sausage add two pounds of salt, three ounces white pepper. three ounces ground sage, and one-half ounce Of red pepper Black pepper may be used but it will show dark specks ill the fat of the sausage. Mix the season. ing thoroughly with the pieces of meat before grinding If the sausage is to be stuffed into castings, about 10 per cent of water should be added to make the mass pliable. Water need not be added for stuffing into cloth bags.
 Saltpeter is not necessary, but two ounces for each 100 pounds of sausage is sometimes recommended for giving a red color to the lean meat.

For Better Cotton

Because the best yielding varieties of cotton produce 20, 30 and even 40 per cent more than the poor varieties, as shown by experimental results, campaign is being waged in Louisiana by the State Agricultural college. in cooperation with the United States department of agricul- ture, to secure the planting of only high yielding varieties. It is e.apha sized that whatever variety is planted, it should be pure; that is. every stalk should be similar in appearance and in productive capacity to every other stalk The mixed or hybrid variety will never do this, for many of the stalks will be barren or will be shy producers. It is also em- phaszed that the cotton grower should not depend wholly upon imported seed as his means for increasing yields, fer a fertile soil is the most important feature in successful cotton growing It is very poor policy say officials in charge of the campaign, ito pant very poor land in cotton at all."

Where Crops Came From


 If John. Wilcox of Timmonsville. s. c. had not followed the advice of his county agent it is more than likely he still would be on his old place farming in more or less profitable way. As it is. this farmer, after bringing his stock aud his acres up to the point of worth while produc- ton, has sold his farm in Florence coun- ty at much larger price than he gave for it, and has bought a better farm.
 In recent letter to the states relations service MT. Wilcox comments apprecia- lively on the assistance given him by his county agent. He says:
 Two years ago MT. McLendon cama among my cows that I was keeping some of the good milking type from which l was not realizing one cent except ferti- lizing value. He persuaded me to milk the best of these cows and to turn the poorer ones into better milkers. lie helped me to erect convenient but in expensive line of stalls and a milk house After we had added few cows l kept account of one months sale of dairy products, and it amounted to $200, besides the skinned milk I retained for my pigs I purchased a registered Guernsey btN. two registered cows and built a silo. About that time I purchased some re- gistered Duroc hogs, and today in addi- tion to my grade hogs for pork I am keeping 42 registered brood sows and gilts and have on my farm 115 registered hogs The county agent has assisted in double treatment of all hogs against cholera, and has helped me to plan my pastures and hog houses.''

Texas Boys and Calves

"I have bought $50 Liberty bond and intend to use the balance to help in pay ing my expenses at the A X M. college the coming term was the answer of q club boy in. Nolan county, Texas, when asked what he would do with the profit from the sale of his two prize- winning calves.
 This boy, Billy Whiteside, a member of agricultural club conducted by the United States department of agriculture and the Texas A & M. college exhib- ited two calves at the Fort Worth Fat Stock show. His steer calf a little over year old and weighing 951 pounds brought s149.62. besides winning s25 in prizes The heifer calf, Il months and IS days old. weighed S1O pounds and sold for s123e2, also winning s25 in prizes. The cost of feed and expenses was sS5 for each calf, leaving a profit of s103.14 on the two, besides the $50 in prize IF oney.
 Another entry at the Fort Worth show was that of John Childers, a 15-year-old club member from Sweetwater whose calf IA months old and weighing, after shrikage, 1660 pounds, sold for S169, after winning s2o in prizes, This young ex- hibitor believes in good stock, and has bought registered Hereford calf with the proceeds.

Right Variety of Crops

The importance of selecting a crop
 which it is grown is indicated in a nu Der of varietal experiments conduc at various field stations last year.
 cooperative experiments at the Dick, son substation, North Dakota, a num- of varieties of common wheat grown der similar conditions produced yiel which varied from 19.4 bushels an as to 11.3 bushels. The variations in vie, of varieties of durum wheat were fir POP bushels an acre to 132 bushels.
 wide variation was obtained in simi experiments with oats, the range be from 49.5 bushels an acre to 19.S bush Barley showed a variation which ran from 23.6 bushels an acre to 97 busht At the Cheyenne field station in V oming varietal experiments with viii wheat gave yields which ranged from
 average of 35.5 bushels an acre to f bushels; with spring wheat, 41.2 bus.13 to 15.5 bushels; with oats. 79.6 bust to SIS bushels; with barley 73.1 busfi to ALA bushels At the Nehi substatH in Utah, cooperative results with val ties of winter wheat showed variatt ranging from 23.3 bushels an acre to bushels, and with spring wheat from < bushels to 6.3 bushels. Similar expo ,ments conducted in California wi. wheat showed variation in yield raj ing from 50 bushels an acre to

Sell Fuel Wood by Weigh

Wood for fuel should be sold { weight instead of by cord measure the heating value depends not upon I bulk of the wood, but upon its weig say foresters of the United States c partment of agriculture in Bulletin recently published. A pound of C wood of one species has about as mrt heating value as pound of any otf species, but two cords may vary 4 per cent in their value for heating. 4
 It is the custom to sell hard woo and soft woods at slightly differt prices because of differences in heati values. This is only a superficial clas fication, however, as two species of hs woods may have heating values wit 1y different. Where hard woods a soft woods are mixed together withc regard to the proportion of each, values may be so different that one m, bay, for the same money, buy tw as much heating value as another. T shape and size of the sticks may cause great variation in the actp amount of wood substance, and thel' fore of fuel. If weight were the mes ure, the species. shape and size sticks would make litt1e difference, pi, vided the wood were thoroughly ses oned. It would be necessary. howevi. to fix certain standards as to time seasoning of wood, the specialists sa

Sorghum Increase

Because of the unusual demand sirups, the Douglas county (Neb) f; bureau made sorghum sirup produc one of its emergency projects for The county agent began his work on project in the early spring by locai available supplies of seed.
 The acreage in sorghum was increa 400 per cent over that of 1917. Five si mills were in operation. The agent sisted in the purchase of larger macl cry for one plant which was operated operatively by several farmers. Altho the season was rather uniavorable sorghum production, the returns " quite satisfactory and the sirup sold re fly at S1.25 to $l.50 a gallon. One fari raised 40 bushels of seed and made gallons of sirup from one acre. Anot farmer made 800 gallons of sirup ; threshed 300 bushels of seed from acres
 In 1917 one sorghum maker sold fl IS acres 2500 gallons of sirup at $l a 1; lon. He also threshed IS bushels of $ an acre and sold it for s3.50 a bushel following spring, making the total ret from each acre $201. In this case the I was run into silo and made into sils Feeding tests show that sweet sorgh silage is nearly equal to corn silage milk production.

going to get in action this year earlier than usual
 The seed ticks matched from the eggs laid the previous fall, begin to get active when the warm days come in March. If allowed to live, they suck cattle blood until they are full grown. Then the adult female tick, having gorged herself on cattle blood and transformed it into eggs, lays thou sands of eggs which develop into seed ticks. This is repeated over and over.
 One. female tick, shortly after she herself has left the egg stage, be- comes able to lay from 5000 to 5000 eggs at one sitting. These eggs hatch into seed ticks, and each female, in her own turn, lays from 5000 to 5000 eggs So it goes on. Is it any wonder that a tick allowed to live means millions later?
 Don't share your milk, butter and beef" say the anti-tick fighters, with the many thousands of cattle ticks that spring from one seed tick if it is al lowed to mature. One-third of your beef, milk, and butter will be wasted if you don't kill that seed tick early. The early start stops the tick. Dip that tick in March."

To Solve Farm Problem

More good dairy cows for Louisiana is one of the objects state dairy specialists cooperating with field men of the United States department of agriculture are working for It is pointed out that the keeping of dairy cows will help the aver age farmer to overcome three main draw backs to the one-crop system of farming; cash income only once year. de- pleted soil. and unequal distribution of labor. For the farmer who does not have ready market for dairy products few cows will provide the cheapest and best of human foods. The cows will consume much of the rough feeds that usually go to waste. and they, therefore. can be kept at little expense For the farmer who has good mallsst, dairyins is most
