May Disappear Entirely

During the AZ minutes of total
eclipse the moon may either disappear
from view so completely that in its
stead there will be an absolutely
empty space devoid of all stars like
hole or tunnel in the sky. or il may
be easily seen shining with a beau
tiful dull copper color. Just which
will happen can not be predicted. be-
cause il depends on the cloudy or
clear condition of the sunrise and
sunset circle OF the earth at the time.
Either the suns rays will not pene-
trate or they will be allowed free
passage and will lie sent by refrac-
ton and tinted with sunrise and sun
set colors by selective absorption.
This will be the last total lunar
eclipse visible in the United States for
about six years. according to Prof W
s. Eichelberger. of the Naval Obser-
vatory, who has charge of the COM
putting OF the Nautical Almanac.
There will lie about 20 such
eclipses in the next fifty years" he said
in denying published statements that
the coming eclipse will be the last un-
til fifty years hence.
All who can see the moon above
their horizon at the time will be able
10 see the shadowing of the moon.
From far in the Pacific Ocean to the
Atlantic, in both North and South
America the phenomenon will be
visible.

FARM WAGES REACH
HIGH PEAK IN 1920

While the peak of the high wages
for farm work in the Gallatin is well
over, still farmers are wondering how
in the world they ever paid the high
wages that were in vogue a year ago.
Local farm wages are about as high
as any in the country and far higher
than the averages show. Eight dol
lars a day for irrigators was perhaps
the highest wages paid save to engi-
neer or separator men, but farm
hands drawing down their 500 were
by no means the exception. Farmers
~"id these high wages, paid the high
hay and feed bills of spring and then
sold their grain on a falling market.
This year, with anything like the
same prices for grain as were obtain
ed last fall, the farmers stand a
chance to meet few Of their obliga-
lions if they get a fair crop.
A study of the wage rates over
the country as recently given out by
the department of agriculture, shows
some rather interesting facts.
Wage rates for farm labor reached

long periods, and may have a fatal
termination. Prompt action to ascer-
tain the cause when sheep become
unthrifty will often prevent serious
loss.
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
fluoride in the form of powder rub
bed into the skin will kill biting lice,
but not sucking lice. Both kinds of
lice, sheep ticks and scab mites are
destroyed by dipping the sheep. For
lice and sheep ticks number of dips
are recommended in the bulletin, in
Guiding coal tar creosote, cresol and
nicotin, or nicotin and sulphur. For
scab mites the official dips are lime
sulphur and nicotin. All places which
have been occupied by lousy sheep
should be regarded as dangerous
from this standpoint for a period of
three weeks; if occupied by ticky
sheep, as dangerous for two months;
if occupied by scabby sheep, as dan
gerous for a month or two in the
case of pastures, and year or more
In the case of buildings. Quarantine
measures are essential in eradicating
scab.

SHEEP HAVE MANY PARASITES

SHEEP HAVE MANY PARASITES
Sheep probably suffer more than
any other kind Of livestock from par
asites. 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 dis
eases. Nevertheless, there is a steady
loss of sheep in all parts of the coun-
try and this loss is mostly due to
parasites.
It is the sheep owners business to
prevent disease rather than to at
tempt to cure it after it has made its
appearance. While there are special
treatments for the various diseases
which makes it advisable to call com
petent veterinarian, there are a num-
Der of ways TO prevent disease caused
by parasites. Among these the bull
letin suggests pasture rotation, use
of forage crops, feeding from racks
or board floors, draining or filling
swamps, and prevnting wandering
dogs from getting into the flock.
Permanent pastures perpetuate para
sites, it is stated. The eggs of the
internal parasites pass from the ami
mails in the manure and thus the pas
lures 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.
Animals which are troubled with par
asites usually do not have fever, but
they are unthrifty and will lose rath-
er than gain in weight. As a rule,
also, there is some intestinal disturb
ance, shown by diarrhea or constipa-
ton. Unthriftiness may persist for

their highest point in the history of
this country in 1920, as national aver
ages. AS ascertained by the depart
ment of agriculture, the average
wage rate for labor hired by the
month was $46.89 with board, and
s64.95 without board; for day labor
at harvest, $3.50 with board, and
$4.36 without board.
War conditions greatly accelerated
an upward movement of farm-wage
rates that began after 1895. The rate
of that year for hirings by the month
without board was $17.69 as an aver
age for the United States, and no
year in the record of the bureau ex-
tending back to 1866 had lower rate,
except 1879 with $16.42.
BY 1902, this wage rate had in
creased to $22.14, by 1914 to $29.SS,
followed by S30.15 in 1915, with no
evidence of war effect. This effect
appeared, perhaps, as a small begin
ming in the next year, 1916, when the
wage rate was $32.83. Then followed
rapid rise TO $40.43 in 1917, to $47.007
in 1918, to $500 in 1919, and to
$64.95 in 1920.
