With 40 states and the territories
of Alaska, Porto Rico and Hawaii hav.
ing enacted workmen's compensation
laws, in addition to the model method
adopted by the government. for its
100000 civil employees, rapid progress
is being made toward providing indus
trial accident insurance at cost through
state funds, according to a statement
issued by the American Association
for Labor Legislation.
Sixteen states and Porto Rico have
established state funds for insuring at
cost the liability of employers and in
seven Of these states the funds are
exclusive.
TO meet the emergency resulting
from the recent decision of the United
States Supreme court depriving long
shOremen of the protection of state
compensation laws, the association
states bill is being prepared which
congress will be called upon to pass,
restoring the benefits of workmen's
compensation to these and other mari
time workers.

CARING FOR WEAVING LAMBS
II to Be Kept for Breeding Purposes
They Should Be Put in Good,
Fresh Pasture.

If lambs are sold from three to FIVE
months of age they may run with their
dams until that time. The lambs to be
kept for breeding purposes should be
weaned at the same time and put on
fresh pastures where there is no dan
ger of stomach worms. When the
weaving is done at this time the ewes
can be put in better condition for the
fall breeding. Ram lambs left in
the flock worry the ewes and may get
some Of them In lamb. When lambs
are to be kept on the farm the best
method of weaving is to.leave them on
the old pasture for three or four days
and remove the ewes to a scanty pas
ture to check their milk flow. AS
soon as the lambs cease fretting for
their dams they may be moved to fresh
pastures where the ewes have not
been. Ewes with large udders should
be partially MIXED once every three
days until they go dry.

CUT OFF PIGS SHARP rUSKs
Quite Often These Teeth Lacerate
sow's Teats and She Won't Let
Youngsters Suck.

Pigs are born with four sharp hard
tusksy two above and two below. Take
a pair of nippers-you can find them
at almost any hardware store-and
cut the four sharp tusks off, not too
near the gums. Quite often these
tusks cut the sow's teats, make them
sore and she will not let the pigs suck.
Then, also, the pigs cut themselves
with these tusks, and sometimes stick
them through their tongue and can
not suck, and starve. They often
cause sore mouth. Be sure to cut
them off. They are soft and easily
removed. A pair Of sharp scissors
win do. Do not try to pull them out,
but cut them off.
If you see a pig that is getting too
fat, you will know. it is robbing its
mates. To prevent this. take a sharp
knife and cut its rooter in two or
three places, deep enough to make it
sore, and 1t will stop it.

FINISH OFF FEEDERS EARLY
No Glass Of Cattle Yet Produced More
Suitable for Market Demands
Than Baby Beef.

Feeders show an increasing ten4
deney toward finishing off their beef
cattle at younger ages. In general this
tendency is created by two causes:
First, consumers are demanding small.
high-quality cuts of meat; second, the
cost Of producing beef, due to advance
in land values, feeds, labor and taxes,
has increased to such an extent that
feeders and breeders can seldom hold
their cattle to advanced ages at a
profit General conditions in the past
few years have indicated that no class
of beef yet pro6Nced more nearly full

factories, practically all the butter and
cheese used is bought instead of made
on the farm, says the United States
department of agriculture. Very few
farmers buy whole milk. About four
fifths of the dairy products consumed
by farmers are produced on the home
farm.
In the South dairy products are used
very freely. TIE common practice Is
to churn the whole milk for butter
producing a large quantity of butter
milk. The average annual consumption
of butter per family is about go
pounds in the South while for families
in the North and West it is less than
$50 pounds. II is not unusual for the
average-sized family in the South to
consume 1000 quarts of buttermilk a
year. Buttermilk is cooling aud
heathful drink for that climate.

DRUGS lNJURE. DAIRY CATTLE.
Iowa State College Experiments Show
Decrease Rather Than Increase
In Fat Production.

The use of drugs with the idea of
increasing the fat production of test
cows has been tried out by Iowa State
College dairy section. In most cases
: it was found that drugs decreased
rather than increased the fat produc-
ton.
Such drugs as alcohol, castor oil,
pituitrln. aloes, magnesium sulphate,
nux Vomica and sodium chloride were
tried and in all cases they were detri-
mental to the cows. All cows used
were in good normal condition at the
start Of the tests and various sizes Of
doses were used.
In some cases it was found that the
flow of milk and butterfat was in
creased slightly but this soon fell off
and in the end decrease was no.
ticed
Up to date no drug has been found
that VIII increase and it is strongly
advised by the dairy men not to re-
sort to this method as it Injuries the
cows and is not a fair way to gain a
record.
