DO HOGS LIKE TO SWIM
OR LIE IN COOL SHADE?

All hog raisers know the value of
water for their animals during hot
weather-fresh, clean water for them
to drink and a pool or wallow for
them to get in when they are too hot.
A good "swimmin' hole" reduces the
feed bills and many hog raisers find
it pays to have a concrete water basin
in their hog lot.
There is one on the experiment
farm of the United States Department
of Agriculture at Beltsville, Md. 1t
is provided with a covered frame
which furnishes shade. 1t was
noticed that during the heat of the
day the hogs did not get in the water
but preferred to lie around in the
edge of the pool in the shade. This
year another pool has been built in
an adjacent hog lot, but the shade
will be provided several yards away.
Hogs are to be kept in both lots and
1t will be noted that they prefer to
get in the water or to lie in the shade
during the heated part of the day.
Weights will be kept of the animals
in the different lots to see which
makes the most economical gains.

All County Agents are being in
structed to use every effort to in
crease the number of silos in their
districts, the campaign is on in
earnest. each Agent is furnished with
a list of firms both in and out of this
state who handle all kinds of silos at
all prices. this informations is free
TO you. 1t will cost you nothing to
investigate.
Due to the lateness of the season
and the probable high percentage of
loss, which is bound TO ensue If we
have an early frost. it is advised
that farmers put up silos this year
and so have means of saving labor
and so have means of saving a
world of feed which would otherwise
be lost Call on your Agent for any
information. he can refer you to men
in your county who know from their
own experience how valuable a silO is
and he will give you prices, sizes etc.
Don't wait until frost to start this,
do it now. have a place to put your
feed, and incidently have some of the
best feed you have ever fed.
If an agent from some silo concern
has been to see you and you have
let him get away, send for him and go
over it again, II you think he is
spreading it on too thick send for the
County Agent; and go over it with
him for that is what County Agent
is for, to make money for the farmer
and to save money for him.
Silos are no longer an experiment,
they are a necessity, get yours NOW.

present quality and yield Of the crop
is to be materially improved, say
specialists OF the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The grow
er can not expect to get maximum
yields from inferior seed stock any
more than the dairyman can expect
to get maximum milk yields from
scrub cows. The best time to select
seed potatoes, according to the spe-
cialists, is in the fall when the crop
is being harvested Then the yield
Of the individual plant and the quality
of the tubers can be considered.
Good seed is pure in respect to the
variety; is produced by healthy, Wig
orous, heavy yielding plants grown
under favorable climatic conditions;
Is somewhat immature; reasonably
uniform in size and shape; firm and
sound. The first sprouts should be-
gin to develop at planting time.

FARM DEPARTMENT.

build new mouse-proof granaries of
either concrete or galvanized sheet
iron.
Where rats and mice have plenty of
food and are unmolested, they multi
ply overwhelmingly. For example,
in Australia during the great war,
sacks of wheat in high piles awaiting
shipment, became infested by mice
which riddled the sacks and destroy
ed large part of the contents before
preventive steps were taken. Under
similar circumstances like result
would inevitably occur in this coun-
try. Where 1t is impracticable to
provide tight containers for stored
products, steps should be taken i'm
mediately to trap or poison rats and
mice in the general vicinity of storage
buildings. and should be continued
until the last rodent is disposed of.
The United States Department of
Agriculture furnishes plans and bills
of materials for rat-proof granaries
and in its Farmers Bulletin S96
describes various methods of destroy
ing rats and mice. These publica-
lions may be had free on application

Please Poultry Shippers by Proper
Marketing.

Uniform products command the
best prices. Pure-bred fowls pro-
duce uniform products.
Begin marketing the cockerels as
soon as they weigh 1 pound or attain
marketable weight.
Market white-shelled eggs and
brown-shelled eggs in separate pack
ages.
When selling eggs to the country
merchant or cash buyer insist that the
transaction be on quality basis.
Ship or deliver eggs at least twice
or three times weekly.
Small or dirty eggs should be used
at home.
When taking eggs to market they
should be protected from tie suns
rays
Infertile eggs will withstand mar
keting conditions much better than
fertile eggs.

FOOD

At intervals, nicely timed, for the
last two years the federal trade com
mission has issued a catalogue of the
iniquities of the big packers. One
might imagine that this commission
does nothing-which, indeed, is not
far from the truth-but hound the
packers, though they were charged
by the president to investigate all
food conditions -'-'''-
AS a matter Of fact, all these re-
ports are but the lees of that ex-
parte, wild-west Money investigation
which so stirred the indignation of
ChicagOans two years ago, followed
up by a hearing before the trade
commission which ~As travesty on
justice.
Yet this last report does not charge
the packers with initiating prices or
creating unfair competition. On the
other hand, 1t implies that the pack
ers' profits of per cent on the turn
over-a fraction of cent per pound
has no effect on the retail price of
meat.
Nevertheless, the report inflames
the public. The public is easily in
famed now because it is true that
the high cost of living is turning
many a mans hair gray. 1t is men,
acing our social equilibrium. When
ever two men-not necessarily in
overalls-cOme together food is the
chief topic.
Something must be done, and the
Posts idea of that something is for
congress or the president to rejuve-
nate this discredited federal trade
commission, which as an example of
bureaucratic inefficiency has a mark
ing of 100. Make it body that will
command public respect and the con-
fidence of congress. Then turn it
loose on the packers and all others

Shouting "Bolsheyism!" in stem
torian tones is not going to allay the
present social discomfort, which finds
expression nowadays in almost every

Soy Beans And Cowpeas Good Feed
For Lambs

Ravages of the stomach worm now
become apparent in much of the east
ern section of the United States. To
minimize them, it is well to wean the
lambs rather early and turn them on
fresh pastures. This is advice from
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Grain fed to weaned lambs, up to
one-half pound a day, has proved
profitable. Soy beans and cowpeas
have been found the best catch crops
for the purpose of providing fresh
pasturage. OF the two, soy beans
seem to make the best and most rapid
growth. Six weeks in most cases is
sufficient time to secure good
growth of this crop.
BY utilizing these crops fresh
pastures for lambs are easily availa BILE
for this most crucial period of the life
of a sheep.

VOTES FOR BIG BOND ISSUE.

The largest bond issue ever sub
United i'm any county in Texas and one
of the largest voted anywhere in the
country was ratified by a big majority
recently in Dallas County, Tex. 1t
provides $6,500,000, for a complete
belt line around the county, with -
roads radiating from Dallas to all
sections and intermediate roads
connecting the radical highways. The
system provides for 1872 miles of
road, and in addition feeder roads
amounting to about 100 miles will be
improved by the decrease in mainten-
ance expenses. Federal aid amount
ing to $250,000 had been allotted to
Dallas County for its highway devel-
opment, and it is expected that
assigned to assist in the construction
work. The favorable reception Of
the big bond issue in this county is
expected by officials of the Bureau
of Public Roads. United States De-

favorable effect on similar proposals

is at high tide. State highway en-
gineers estimate that more than $20,-

Another brood SOW on every farm
will mean additional profit.
A flock of sheep on every farm
should bring in rich returns to the
Farmers of this State.
Care should be taken in loading
stock during hot weather.
Don't load hogs hot; don't overload
a car; don't use saw dust bedding in
hot weather; don't load hogs in a
filthy car; see that the cars are in
proper condition. Many thousands
of dollars could be saved annually by
giving careful attention to the proper
handling of live stock.
