Bird Population Increasing

The beneficial effects of the migra- tory bird treaty act are beginning to be felt. The United States Depart ment of Agriculture, through its Bu- reau of Biological Survey, has con- ducted investigations of the breeding areas of ducks in North Dakota and Nebraska. Compared with former years, gratifying increase of breed ing waterfowl, particularly in North Dakota, is evident. The fifth annual series of counts of birds of all species breeding on selected areas in various parts of the United States contained a large proportion of reports showing increases in bird population. The total number of reports received, however, was not large. Many of the persons who had formerly taken part in the annual bird counts were unable, because of extra duties as- sumed during the war, to find time for the work required by the fifth count.

War on the Scrub

Connecticut has the honor of being the first state in the Union to enroll h the Better Livestock Crusade" now being carried on nationally thru the United States Department of Ag- ricplture. It is hoped to carry the distinction farther by putting the State in front rank by eliminating all scrub sires on Connecticut farms.
 "The bull is half the herd," is a farm proverb of hackneyed use. The Connecticut forces in the livestock crusade take the position that the bull should be "more than half the herd" and to this end are insisting that herd sires should possess strong individual merit in addition to good breeding. The "purebred scrub" should accom- pany the scrub of mixed breeding to the butcher, it is contended.
 Farmers who desire to take part in the Better Livestock Crusade" will be enrolled on blanks obtainable at the offices of the County Farm Bu- reaus. These blanks should be filled out under the direction of the county agent or of the local committeeman of the Farm Bureau. Such registra- tion requires that the owner shall maintain only purebred sires, wheth- CT of dairy cattle or other kinds of livestock.
 An emblem in the form of pos ter carrying the official seal of the U. s. Department of Agriculture is to be provided each livestock owner that meets the requirements of the cru sade. This poster may be displayed upon the home premises and will mark the farm as home of good

 Perhaps in no phase of the live stock industry. does breeding count more surely than in dairying. The country is paying tremendous tax in the form of scrub bulls that beget scrub offspring of low producing abil- ity. The burden falls upon the own CT of the scrub animal or on neigh bors that breed their cows to his scrub bull,

To Rid Pigs of Worms

, -s Laeklo vigor-and vitality in pigs. especially in young pigs, is due in many instances to intestinal para sites. When infested with parasites, the pig takes on an unthrifty appear ance and although he has an exagger- ated appetite, does not grow or gain weight. a ...
 The hair becomes dry, coarse and ruf1ed; the eyes lack lustre and brightness and the pig shows discom- fort and irritation. Parasites must be eliminated at any cost for a pig cannot make satisfactory or economi- cal gains if he is infested with intes- tinal worms. #,...s..-
 To treat the animals thus infested, withhold all food for at least twenty four hours. Divide the herd into small groups of even weight and mix the following worm powder thorough ly with the moist food so that each hog gets its share of the medicine in the feed at the close of the starvation period.
 San tinon 8 grains
 Areca Nut 2 drams
 Calomel 1 grain
 Sodium bicarbonate 1 dram
 This amount is sufficient for one hog weighing 100 pounds. The dose should be increased or decreased ac- cording to thte size of the pig. Too much food should not be used, as it dilutes the medicine.
 Repeat the treatment in three weeks if the worms are not all remov-
