PLAN TREATMENT OF LAMBS
Attention Attracted in Many LOCAL.
ties to Value Of Docking and
Castrating Lambs.

The value Of castration and dock
ing OF buck lambs destined for mar
ket is attracting attention in many To-
calities where the practice has not
been generally followed. In Braxton
county, w. Va. for example, the farm
bureau plans demonstration of the
value of castration and docking by
sending to market one carload Of buck
lambs that have not been thus treated.
and at the same time carload of
buck lambs that have been locked
and castrated The prices will, be
compared, and forceful object les
son Is expected. Farmers in Gilmer
county, of the same state, expect to
dock and castrate all their buck lambs
in the coming year.
Failure to follow this practice gen.
orally is regarded by officials of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, United
States department of agriculture, as
a weak point in agriculture, and they
recommend the practice to all farm
ers.

DISEASES CARRIED BY DOGS
Animal Should Be Handled In Such
Way as Best to Further Welfare
Of the Community.

Many diseases of man and domestic
animals are carried by dogs. Every
body. of course. knows that the dog
Is responsible for rabies, but il is
not so generally known that the dog
Is equally responsible for other fatal
diseases. Among them may be men,
TONED hydatid and gid in man and
stock. tapeworm in man and especial
ly In children. tongue worm in man
and stock, measles" in sheep. cysti-
cereosis of the liver in stock. Some
or these parasites depend so absolute
Nv on dogs as carriers that they would
become extinct If dogs were not avail
able as hosts. Dogs probably play a
part, also, in the spread of diseases
due TO fungi. such as ringworm and
fayus, and they certainly playa part
In the spread Of diseases that may be
carried by fieas and ticks.

tuberculosis was responsible for the
condemnation of more cattle. slaugh-
tered under federal meat inspection
last year, than all other diseases COM
bined. Information from the bureau
OF animal industry, United States de-
partment Of agriculture, shows that
59,547 carcasses of cattle were con-
demned on post-morten inspection and
of that number $1,000 were the result
OF tuberculosis. In addition 53,652
parts of CATTLE carcasses were con-
demned for the same cause.
The bureau points out that tuber-
culosis in castle and hog cholera in
swine are the two most serious con-
tagious diseases affecting meat ami
mails, and there Is evidence that
heavy loss occurs on farms In addition
to concentrations at establishments
where government inspection is main
tained. The department of agricul-
ture Is prepared to give information
on the best methods Of reducing the
losses.

that care must be taken to minimize
the danger Of diseases spread by them
In a general way, say the specialists
OF the department, there are three
kinds of dogs-the ownerless dog, the
other persons dog, and your own dog.
The stray dog which recognizes no
owner, they say, does not fit into the
modern scheme of civilization and
must be eliminated. A dog that is
allowed by the owner to wander al
large will have substantially the same
habits of life, the same sort of food
and be practically as dangerous as the
ownerless dog. You have the right
to insist, they point out, that such
dogs keep off your premises.
Your own dog should be handled
in such way as best to further the
welfare of the dog and the community.

CATTLE SHRINK IN TRANSIT
Owner Loses Considerable by Not
Taking Proper Precautions In
Shipping Live Stock.

Investigations by the Colorado agri-
cultural college are beginning to show
that shrinkage of live stock when
shipped to market can be greatly re
duced. The most important thing Is
comfortable car and not much crowd
ing. The next thing is to have the
animals well fed and contented when
they are loaded and until they are
sold at the terminal market. In other
words. plenty Of feed and water and
comfortable quarters are most impor-
tant.
Some farmers" says r. w. Clark,
live stock specialist for that institu-
tion, ship regularly with little or no
shrinkage, while others at all times
have enormous shrinkage."

An outstanding feature of federal

tributed from public stockyards for
purposes other than slaughter. The

ton is. whatf
The government bureau OF mines
thinks thar we shall get the requisite
substitute from coal. In every city
there will be -by-proiuct coke ovens"
which will extract from the coal
light oil available for the purpose. The
coke can then be used In our furnaces
and for other ordinary fuel purposes.
One ton Of soft coal In the process
Of coking yields about three gallons
Of oil first rate for motor fuel. At
present prices the heat In the oil has
10 times the commercial value Of the
same amount Of heat In the form OF
coal.
Germany during part OF the war was
practically shut OF from every supply
OF mineral oil. She depended for her
motor fuel entirely on coal. putting the
latter through by-product coking
plants. Before long we shall be
obliged TO do the same thing In the
United States.
Part Of the light oil In coal is toluol,
which in time of war Is needed for the
manufacture Of INT. Modern warfare
requires enormous quantities Of the
substance for making high-explosiye
shells. During the first part Of the
war the allies came near defeat for
lack Of It.
Another by-product from the cooking
of one ton Of soft coal Is 5000 cubic
feet Of gas, available for cooking and

Evolution Of Man Foreseen.

In one of his recent lectures Sir Oh
yer Lodge, eminent English scientist,
announced that the earth would prob
ably continue to exist for 10000, 900
years more. These are, of course,
round numbers. Some scientists esti-
mate that the earth will live for ten
times this age. There have been AMI

planet for fully this length Of time.
The dinosaurs are believed to have

Many farmers are using up their
work stock without making any pro-
vision for the future. Such a policy
Is short-sighted and will have serious
results. according to department Of
agriculture representatives. The pres
ent need is to increase the percentage
OF efficient horses by careful selection

tors from which the market Is suffer-
Ing Is the breeding of too many low
