IN HONOR OF 4 BRIDE-ELEcT

Saturday afternoon the home of
Mrs. Harry Borland on 0klawaha
avenue was the scene of an enjoyable
bridge party. The color scheme for
the afternoon was pink and white, and
was cleverly carried out in all de-
tails. The lower floor of the house
was opened en- suite, and the tables
for the afternoons games were plac-
| ed in the rooms. Asparagus fern
daintily outlined the curtains, pic
lures, etc, forming a delicate tracery
of green on the white background.
Vases of pink and white carnations
and pink and white roses were effec-
lively arranged in the rooms. The
tallies were heart-shaped and further
carried out the color motif.
| There were seven tables of players
and the ever fascinating game of auc-
ton bridge was the diversion of the
afternoon. Miss Marian Dewey being
| holder of the highest score of the aft
ernoon, she was presented with a pail
of silk stockings and Miss Elizabeth
Golf of Statesburg, was presented
with the consolation.
At the conclusion of the games, tn
hostess erved dainty Refreshments
consisting of chicken salad, sand
witches, olives and sailed almonds
pineapple ice with whipped cream an
2 white cake decorated with pink hearts
pink and white mintes.

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 IL 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
butchering, the loss caused by the
parasites is considerable item in the
cost Of producing pork. Estimates
based on observations and limited ex-
perimental 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
not so apparent. Hogs infested by
large numbers Of lice suffer 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.

STOCK
WATCH FOR STOMACH WORMS
Sheep Raisers should Practice Every
Known Preventive Measure
and Use Remedy.

prepared by the United States Depart
nent 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 it Is most plentiful in
the South, where it is favored by
abundance Of warmth and moisture,
but it is also quite common and seri-
GUS in the Middle West and in low.
wet areas throughout the entire cota
try. It is present in smaller numbers
and does less damage in the high dry
and cool areas of the Rocky mountain
states.
/ The first things noticed about sheep
infested with stomach worms are dull
ness and lack of thrift. Later the skin
becomes pale, as do the Innings of the
mouth and eyelids, which is due to i'm
p0verishment of the blood from the
bloodsucking habit of the worms. In
Tested sheep also may have a swell
ing under the jaw, known as ''bottle
jaw"
Stomach-worm infection Is spread
by the droppings of infested sheep
The eggs Of the parasites in the drop
pings hatch out and the young worms,
which are microscopic in size, crawl
up grass blades and are swallowed by
sheep as they Craze. In the stomach
the worms become mature in about
three weeks. If the fourth stomach,
or rennet, Of an infested sheep or
lamb be examined soon after death,
the stomach worms can be seen
squirming about, slender, reddish in
color, about an inch long.
A satisfactory remedy for this dis
ease If used in time, the specialists
