OHIO LICE POWDER FORMULA
Mixture of Gasoline, carboIie Acid
and Plaster of Paris Is Inex-
pensiVe and Efficient.

One of the cheapest homemade lice
powders for poultry is made by mix
ing three parts of gasoline and one
part of crude carbolic acid with as
much plaster of paris as the liquid
will mOisten, as determined by the
Ohio experiment station The pow
der is allowed to dry before using; If
may be kept in al alright container
where it retains its strength for a long
period. The powder is infiammable
and must be kept away from fire.
Infested fowls when thoroughly
busted are soon relieved from the at
tacks of lice; about 125 birds may be
busted in one hour, one pound of the
mixture being needed to dust ten ma
ture fowls.
For head lice on chickens the use
of blue ointment or mercuriaI ONT
ment has been found effective. One
part of the ointment is mixed with
two parts of vaseline and a lump of
the mixture about the size of pea is
rubbed thoroughly at the base of the
feathers about the head.

BREEDING FOR BETTER SHEEP
Experiment Being Conducted on tx
pertinent Ranch in Idaho by
Department of Agriculture.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
COrriedale sheep developed in Aus
tralia mainly by a Lincoln-Merino
cross. are being studied by the United
States department of agriculture at
the government 2S,OO0-acre sheep-ex
pertinent ranch at Dubois, Idaho.
There are at present about 100 sheep
on the project divided into various
classes. Australians claim for the
Corriedales better mutton form than
the Merino, more weight, and yet
good fleece of about three-eighths
blood quality. It is expected that the
tests now being conducted by the de-
partment will eventually result in q
better average sheep, as to mutton
carcass, than the breeds now on the
market The breed was introduced In
to this country by the federal depart
ment, but since that time many large
private importations have been made.
Part of the sheep On the Dubois range
are being kept as straight Corriedales
while others are being crossed with
American crossbreds.

Ordinarily the fall crop OF pigs Is
farrowed between the middle OF Au-
gust and the 10th of October. It Is
highly important that sows be well
fed and carefully tended during this
time, the care and management Of the
dams being practically the same as
that followed when the spring filters
are narrowed. Similarly, fall pigs, af-
ter they are weaned, should be treat
ed the same as spring pigs, except
that in many parts Of the country fall
pigs do not have access to green for
age crops.
In the northern and colder locations,
special attention should be devoted to
housing and bedding the porkers,
particularly the young pigs. These
youngsters should never be allowed
to sleep in sheds or pens where they
are exposed to rain or snow, nor
should they'be allowed to lie on damp
bedding. Supplying the fall pigs with

sort and repack damaged produce and
often enough decay is present to rem
der the produce unstable in its orig

Sometimes hucksters do go over the
damaged cars and salvage a limited
amount of food. More often, however,
the labor cost of such salvage work is
greater than the value of the products
saved.
Losses May Start on Farm.
There are many causes for loss of
perishable foods between the farm
field and the market. Some of these
causes go back to the time crops are
harvested. Take potatoes, for instance,
which are injured in digging. Unless
these injured potatoes are sorted out
and not packed with the good pota-
toes, rot may develop in the shipment
and spread rapidly to other potatoes,
especially if the temperature in the
car is favorable for rot to develop.
Another source of great loss in per-
ishables is found in lack of care in
loading. The packages must be spaced
to permit air circulation and also
braced to prevent shifting. Tempera-
ture can not be controlled in loads
packed solid without any air spaces
between the containers, while bracing
must be carefully done or packages
arrive containing only a part OF their
original contents.

and bracing cars Of potatoes, cabbage,
and the less perishable fruits and
vegetables is necessary to prevent
damage in ordinary freight cars, it Is
far more necessary for highly perish
able products that move to market in
refrigerator cars, such as strawher-
ries, peaches, pears, grapes, lettuce,
and celery. Such products, even with
the best of care, may arrive at city
terminals in damaged condition caused
by delay in transportation, oyerripe-
ness, or disease developed in transit
because temperatures were not under
control while the cars were en- route.
Disease in Shipped Products.
In the case of plant diseases de-
velOped in transit, there may not have
been any Indication that the disease
was present when the car was loaded,
and perhaps the shipper thought that
his crop was free from disease. Prop
er geration-plenty of ice and
air circulation-holds diseases in
check and unless long delays in tran
sit occur such perishable produce
might arrive in good condition. Such
shipments, however, often deteriorate
rapidly after being unloaded and must
be handled quickly and consumed be-
fore rot develops.
Through the food products inspec-
ton service of the department of agri-
culture, the facts concerning losses
through plant diseases developed in
transit are being studied and labora-
tories have been established at New
York and Chicago to work on these
diseases. Plant pathologists now re-
port on shipments that develop dis
ease and this information is made
available TO producers and shippers
where the fruit and vegetables were
grown, in order that prevention may
begin in the field and packing house.

SECURING LABOR is
DIFFICULT PROBLEM
Maintenance of Steady Supply
Worries Stock Farmer.
He Is Compelled to Use Temporary
HeIp at Harvest Time Which, in
Many Cases, Is Unreliable and
Quite Expensive.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
One of the most serious phases Of
the farm labor problem is the main
tenance of a steady supply of labor
and the interest of the laborer in farm
operations. In both of these matters
the farmer who has little or no live
stock has a much more difficult prob
lem to solve than the one who main
tainS the maximum amount Of live
stock consistent with his farm opera
lions. For example, the farmer who
devotes his entire effort to grain pro-
duction or cotton production is con-
fronted with a keen demand for labor
at the most critical period in the crop
year. He has the rush during the
planting season, which shortly is fol-
lowed by the tremendous demands of
harvest. Between times, especially
during the winter, this demand is not
so urgent and he is, therefore, COM
PEELED to use temporary help (espe-
cially at harvest time), which, in many
cases, is unreliable and expensive.
The farmer whose operations make
possible the distribution of the maxi
mum amount of labor throughout the
year is in a much stronger position
from every standpoint than the one
who is compelled to call In large num-
bers of temporary helpers at critical
times.
Live stock production is a year
round proposition and therefore makes
possible such q distribution OF labor.
Furthermore, live stock are interest
ing to nearly all human beings. There
is much more to interest the average
man in watching the growth OF the
young animals or the fattening of feed
ers, and much less drudgery, even in
feeding operations, than there is in the
filling of the soil and the cultivation
Of the crops. Beautiful as growing
crops unquestionably are, and neces-
sary as they are to the maintenance of
live stock, the farm which only has
growing crops lacks for most people
the vital thing which is necessary to
make country life attractive.
Many farmers recognize the appeal
which animals have for the average
man and cater to this In handling their
employees. For example, there are
cases where the farm owner gives the
laborer a share in the animal produce
of the farm, such, for example, as ev-
cry tenth pig, which becomes the prop
erty Of the man who takes care Of the

A new method of using the wind in
sand-road construction has proved so
successful, that, after making a nine
mile experimental stretch in New Mex
leo, rOadmakers in that state have
built 80 miles Of similar highways.
First OF all. the grass and weeds are
cleared from the right Of way, and
then a trench is made through the
sand to the clay bottom. The loose
sand is deposited in stacks ten feet
from either side Of the cut, and the
rest of the work is left to the desert
winds. During the spring and fall, the
winds sweep away all the sand and
widen the clay strip. Then the road is
graded and the work finished.
