prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
With the approach Of warm weather
sheep raisers are warned by special
lists Of the United States Department
OF Agriculture to watch for stomach
worms and put into practice every
known preventive measure. The
stomach worm, they say, is one Of the
most serious parasites OF sheep, oc-
curing over almost the entire world
where there are sheep, cattle and 9TH.
er suitable host animals. In the
United States 1t is most plentiful in
the South, where 1t Is favored by
abundance of warmth and moisture,
but 1t is also quite common and seri-
GUS in the Middle West and In low,
wet areas throughout the entire coun-
try 1t is present In smaller numbers
and does less damage in the high, dry
and cool areas Of the Rocky mountain
states.

becomes pale, as do the Innings Of the
mouth and eyelids, which is due to i'm

In this granary there are corn cribs
on each side of the central driveway
extending up to the roof. On the sec
ond floor Immediately above the drive
way are the bins for the heavier
grain. The spout Of the elevator can
be directed to I'LL any bin.
The building is 20 feet wide and SO
feet long. The drive is 10 feet wide,
and each corn crib is feet wide.
This is the propltious time to build
a corn crib so as to be ready for the
harvest when 1t comes around. The
wise farmer Is aware of the deadly
inroads Of the millions of rodents,
pests, etc, and with not be caught like
he was last year. There is no sense In
working hard all year only to put the
fruits Of your efforts In O shack built
Of few boards as the only protection
against bad weather. The constant
exposure to the rain, frost and snow
will play havoc with the corn and cut
down Its market value considerably.
This structure will be valuable adj
dition for any farmer who raises a
good crop, and Is doubly attractive be-
cause Of Its economy In construction.
Moreover, because Of the installation
Of the elevator 1t win be a splendid aid
to him In keeping help on the farm
satisfied. One Of the big reasons for
the difficulty in keeping help Is the
back-breaking work which they have
to perform. In this case one Of the
hardest tasks has been made easy.
Only through the construction Of
such buildings and the installation Of
the most modern labor-saving equip
ment can the modern farmer hope to
stem the exodus Of the young men to
the cities. When the work Is made
attractive they win stay. And only
by building substantial corn cribs and
granaries can the farmer hope to reap
the profits which should be his.

say. Is a / per cent solution Of cop
per sulphate In water. A dose which
has been found satisfactory Is 100
mills (about three ounces) for yeariing
and older sheep. and half as much for
lambs three months old or older. To
make this solution, dissolve one-fouyth
pound Of copper sulphate In one pint
of boiling water, then add cold water
to make a total Of three gallons Of
the solution. This amount Is sufficient
to treat 100 adult sheep. The use Of
this remedy once a month during the
grazing season win prevent or great
ly reduce losses from stomach worms.
Young animals and uninfested
sheep should be separated from older
or infested animals. Pastures which
have been used by infested animals
are dangerous to young animals and
uninfested ones. The first essential
In preventive measures Is to protect
young animals, for they are more sus-
ceptible to parasitic infestation than
older ones. Consequently. the safest
pasture should be furnished to the
lambs. the older sheep taking the more
dangerous land. where II is necessary
for sheep to go back 10 old pasture
within a year.
In a plan Of rotating pastures to
keep down stomach worms, the sheep
may be moved over cornfelds. hay
fields and stubble OF various sorts.
When different kinds Of stock are TO
tated on pastures. sheep may safely
follow horses or swine, but not cat
lie or goats. as the latter may be In

HANGMAN RESENTS
p. SLUR ON BUSINESS
(Ry Associated Pressl

BUDAPEST, Sept 20-The hang
man of Hungary has risen to indig-
nant defense of his calling and de-
nounced those who cast slurs upon 1t
He was prompted by sneering refer
ences made in the Hungarian Nation
al Assembly. Friends of former EN-
peror Cha,.lea and the .Anti-Hars-
burgs are always quarreling there
and in some cases have shouted at
one another, "the hangman is your
friend"
Michael Bali, the official hangman,
has resented such slurs.
"My Vocation" he writes, to the
President of the National Assembly,
"is as honorable and useful as that OF
judges, lawyers, ministers or kings.
Why should the old superstition hold
in modern times that the hangman's
profession is disgraceful, loathsome
and abominable My friends are
all perfect gentlemen and any mems
ber of Parliament can consider it
only flattery when he is called my
friend"
