gross infestation. In an attempt to
relieve the intense itching the infested
animals scratch themselves with their
feet and rub violently against any
convenient object. The frequent rub.
bling destroys the hair in patches and
often causes wounds in the skin. The
lice congregate around the abrasions
and thus cause further irritation and
annoyance to the animals.
Lice may attack hogs of any age or
condition, and if allowed to spread
the infested animals suffer and the
owner loses in the increased quantity
OF feed consumed per pound Of gain,
arrested growth Of young pigs, and
shrinkage in weight Of fattening hogs.
When young pigs become infested at
an early age from the brood sow and
the lice are allowed to remain on the
animals until the hogs are ready for
0utchering. the loss caused by the
parasites is considerable item in the
cost Of producing pork. Estimates
based on observations and limited ex.
detrimental data fix the direct money
loss in such cases at from to 6 per
cent OF the market value Of the hog.
The indirect losses caused by lice are
seldom taken into consideration, be-
cause on casual observation they are
DOT so apparent. Hogs infested by
large numbers Of lice suffer a lower.
ing OF vitality and a generally I'm.
thrifty condition which renders them
more susceptible to attack by other
parasites and by contagious diseases.
The damage and losses caused by hog
lice are Of sufficient importance to
warrant the application Of treatment
for their eradication.

CHURN NUMBERS ARE USEFUL
Makes Il Simple Matter to Separate
Different Cummings and Sell Ae-
cordinQ to Score.

The use of churn numbers, SO that
the receivers of butter can more
readily sort out separate churnings, Ia
urged upon creamery men by food
products inspectors Of the bureau Of
markets, United States Department of
Agriculture. In a lot of butter rec
emily examined by these inspectors
the score varied from SO to 81. As
no churn numbers were shown, the
only way the receiver could separate
the butter was by examining every
tub. II the churn numbers had been
shown. it would have been a simple
matter to separate the various churn-
ings and sell them according to score.
It is not possible to take time to ex.
anime every tub. so the butter Is sold
according to the samples taken and
at discount II the samples vary
widely. II there should be just one
poor tub in the shipment and the
sampler happens upon it. the whole
shipment would suffer, while II churn
numbers are used only the tubs In
that churning would receive the lower
score.

Timber depletion has now reached q

Col. w. b. Greeley, chief forester, for.
est service of the Department Of Agri.
culture Of the United States, recently
told the members Of the Chicago As
sociation Of Commerce.
Liberal use Of American forests was
. necessary part Of the commercial
growth Of this nation, Colonel Greeley
believes, but reforestation should have
been practiced, II not from the start,
at least in late years. There Is an
abundant area Of forest land in this
country to support all industries, and
a liberal supply Of wood is most nee
essary to the people Of this country.
1t was thought that, like the European
countries, we would use. when our civ.
ilization was older, but one-third or
one-half as much wood per capita az
we did In the early days. But this
rule does not affect the American peo-
pie. The older the states and com.
munities in this country grow the
more timber they seem to require in
one form or another.
Demand Continues 70 Grow.
Many substitutes have been devised
for wood. and yet the great demand
Of the country for timber continues to
grow. More wood Is used in construc-
ton today than before the discovery
of concrete, and more wood is used in
building railway cars than before the
steel or part-steel car was developed.
This is apparently true in nearly every
industry.
Abundant and widely distributed
forests have meant to the United
States homes for the masses Of the
people beyond the standards of any
other nation. They have placed news.
papers and magazines on the average
family table. They have contributed
largely to social and industrial condi.
tiOns which promote democracy and
constructive energy rather than dis
content and destructive social forces
bred by hard and comfortless condi-
tiOns Of life.
The idleness Of 81 100000 acres Of
forest land, an area increased by g..
100000 to 100000 acres annually,
destructive logging, and still more de.
structive forest fires are the factors at
work to increase the timber shortage.
