CULTIVATE POTATOES OFTEN
Hoeino Should Be Done Once a Week
for Six Weeks After Plants
Appear-kill Bugs.

Potatoes must be hoed or cultivated
at least once a week for about six
weeks after the plants appear. While
cultivating, the soil should be drawn
about the plants, forming hills to pro-
tect the potatoes from the sun.
Potato bugs, old-fashioned "hard
shells" and their children, the soft
shells or slugs, are sure to eat the
foliage Of potatoes unless prevented
from doing so. The hard shell" bugs
that are first to appear can often be
picked off by hand and killed. but
about the only way to control the
young soft bugs or slugs is to poison
them. This can be done by spraying
or sprinkling the potato leaves with
a mixture consisting of one ounce Of
arsenate Of lead in one gallon Of wa
ter or the plants may be busted with
powdered lime to which paris green
has been added at the rate of one
ounce to four quarts Of lime. say spe-
cialists Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The dust should
be sifted over the plants during the
early morning while the dew is upon
the leaves. 1t will not be necessary
to dust or spray all the plants. but
only those where the bugs have start
ed, then go over the potatoes every
few days to see that the bugs have
not gotten a fresh start.

LIVE STOCK
FACTS
PARASITES CAUSE BIG LOSS
Injury From Insects 10 Creates.
Among Lambs and Young shssp-
Ways to Prevent Diseases.

Prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture.)
Sheep probably suffer more than any
other kind of live stock from para
sites. They are practically immune
to tuberculosis, which is one Of the
serious ailments of cattle and swine,
and among sheep there is nothing
comparable to the devastating out
breaks Of cholera among swine. Sheep
have comparatively few bacterial
diseases. Nevertheless, there Is a
steady loss Of sheep in all parts of
the country and this loss IL mostly
due to parasites.
1t is the sheep owners business to
prevent disease rather than to attempt
to cure it after it has made Its az
pearance. While there are specia'
treatments for. the various diseases
which makes it advisable to CALI .
competent veterinarian, there are q
number Of ways to prevent diseases
caused by parasites. Among these
pasture rotation. use Of forage crops,
feeding from racks or board floors,
draining or filling swamps, and pre-
venting wandering dogs from getting
into the flock. Permanent pastures
perpetuate parasi Us, it is stated. The
eggs of internal parasites pass from
the animals in the manure and thus
the pastures become infested. The
proper disposal of the manure will
aid in preventing this.
Damage from parasites is greatest,
as a rule, among lambs and young
sheep. Hence, it is important to pay
special attention to the care and
handling of lambs and yearlings.
Prompt action to ascertain the cause
when sheep become unthrlfty will
often prevent serious loss. a
Parasites of sheep are divided into
two general groups, external and in
ternal. Among the former, lice, sheep
ticks, and scab mites are the most
common. One application of sodium
fouride in the form of powder
rubbed into the skin will kill biting
lice, but not sucking lice. Both kinds

SWEET CLOVER BUILDS SOIL

AS a soil builder sweet clover is in

growth and the decay of it large roots
it restores humus to the soil in large
quantities. II 1t Is allowed to remain

quantities of plant food are made

other plants to use, and, at the same
time, improve the soil texture.

are destroyed by dipping the sheep.
For lice and sheep ticks a number Of
dips are recommended in the bulle-
tin, including coal tar creosote, cresol,
and nicotin, or nicotin and sulphur.
For scab mites the official dips are
lime-sulphur and nicotin-sulphur dips.
Arsenfcal dips are not we'll suited to
sheep dipping. All places which have
been occupied by lousy sheep should
be regarded as dangerous from this
standpoint for period of three weeks;
ii occupied by. ticky sheep, as dan
gerous for two months; If occupied
by scabby sheep, as dangerous for a
month or two in the case of pastures,
and a year or more in the case of
buildings. Quarantine measures are
essential in graduating scab.
The most common internal parasites
Of sheep include tapeworms, flukes,
roundworms, and few other forms
such as maggots causing grub in the
head, the tongue-worm and the one
celled protocol. One Of the most COM
mon Of these is the grub. infestation
with which can be largely prevented
by smearing the nose of the sheep
with a preparation made of equal
parts of tar and grease, or tar and
fish oil. Other important internal par
asites discussed in the bulletin are
tapeworlns. the gid parasites, hydatid,
liver flukes, stomach worms, nodular
worms, hookworms. and lungworrns.
OF these, certain tapeworms are fair
~ common over the entire United
States; one tapeworm occurs only I'm
the West; gid is most prevalent In
Montana; liver flukes are most COM
mon in the Gulf states and the Pacific
Coast states; stomach worms and lung.
worms take a heavy toll in sheep in
almost every state in the Union. and
nodular worms and ,hookworms are
common In the South and East.

POPULAR GRAINS
FOR FARM FLOCK
Corn Heads Long List Because
of Abundance and Is Most
Relished by Fowls.
WHEAT REGARDED As SAFEST
Most Satisfactory Results Obtained
When Meat, Bone. Bran and 9th.
er heterogeneous Feeds Are
Also Supplied.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgricultureJ
Of all grain feeds usually supplied
to farm poultry, corn has been, and
still is. the most popular. This prob
ably Is due to its abundance and rel
alive cheapness and because 1t is the
most relished of all the grains. Corn
Is heating and fattening, and when
fed to fowls as the only feed, fat rath-
err than eggs Is the usual result. 1t
should be balanced with meat, bone,
bran, and such feeds us are rich In
heterogeneous matter. in which corn is
deficient. When corn is fed to laying
hens that have opportunity to take
plenty Of exercise and to obtain in
sects and green feed, more satisfac-
tory results are likely to be obtained.
1t may be fed more freely during the
winter than luring the summer, say
poultry specialists of United States
Department Of Agriculture.
Wheat Is Safest.
Wheat is generally regarded as the
safest grain to be fed alone. 1t is
not quite so fattening as corn, but is
too fattening when fed alone. Wheat
should be supplemented by the same
feeds as advised to use with corn to
Increase the proportion of protein.
Wheat contains little more protein
than corn, about the same amount of
carbohydrates, but less fat, and on
the whole is considered not so valu-
able for fattening, but slightly better
for growth. Good grades of wheat
are relatively too high in price to
be used freely in feeds at the pres
ent time. Wheat screenings of a
good grade can frequently be pur-
chased and fed to advantage. OF
course, there is always the danger Of
introducing weed seeds on the farm,
Burnt wheat" seldom can be fed adj
vantageously. the difference in price
between this and good wheat being
usually too slight to warrant it's use.
{, Oats Needed for Variety.
Oats, while not as good as corn or
wheat, are necessary for variety.
They contain more indiges sible fiber
than the other grains. Hulled oats
are relished by poultry and are excel
