Seen at his headquarters in LeXing-
ton, Colonel Whitehead vouchsafed
other highly enlightening information,
not only about the breeding work in
progress, but also of the utility Of
the thoroughbred horse; the intimate
relation between ra cling and the main
tenance and improvement of the stan Z
ard of blood lines and the Importance
of the thoroughbred to the State OF
Kentucky in particular.

clusion, says the L. S. Department OF
Agriculture. In its study of ship
ments Of potatoes on the principal
markets, the markets inspection SER
vice finds that late blight tuber rot,
which is frequently followed by shiny
soft rot, causes havy losses. This dis
ease is apparent at the time of load

out and not shipped.

housekeeping il Not Hard IL This
Program Is Adopted.


Housecleaning need not be the bug
bear it has long been regarded in
many households If the work Is
carefully planned, if the kind OF
furnishings that are easy to keep
clean are chosen and handled in the
right way, and If provision is made
for keeping all the dirt possible out
of the house there will be no need
for the upheavals that result in dis
comfort to the entire household. The
following the good rules by which to
organize the housekeeping:
Keep dirt out of the house by clean
ing the walks, steps, porches and
sills regularly and often. by screen
ing windows and doors near the
ground, and by insisting on having
muddy shoes and coats cleaned, or
lett outside.
Lessen the number of dust-ct llect-
ing places, such as unnecessary cup
board, grooved and carved wood
work, floors with cracks, rough-fin-
ished walls, deliberately carved and
upholstered furniture, su0er.ldous
draperies. and bric-a-bac.
Remove dirt frequently and sys-
tematically. This keeps the house
and furnishings in better condition,
and makes the need of heavy clean
ing less frequent.
Clean by taking the dirt away, not
by scattering it, to settle again else
where.
Do heavy cleaning a little at 4 time
to avoid the hard work and discom-
forts OF the old-fashioned spring AMI
fall housekeeping
Have a supply of good cleaning
tools such as your work calls for,
and keep them in good order.
Use water and cleaning agents
sparingly because otherwise they may
spoil finishes and weaken glue, paste.
or cement.
Watch for troublesome insects and
animals, and take prompt measure
10 get rid of them if they appear.
Make all the family help by leaving
things where they belong, and in
good condition.
These rules are given by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture

Control and Eradiction OF Hog Mite,
And Lice.

And Lice.
Lice and mango mites are the two
principal kinds of external parasites
affecting hogs, say experts OF tbs
United States Department of Agri-
culture. They are injurious to al
classes Of hogs but the greatest losses
occur in pigs and poorly nourished
hogs kept in insanitary quarters.
The losses are caused by irrigation
and functional disturbances.
Only one species of lice commonly
affects hogs, and this parasite OBJ
tains its food by puncturing the skin
of the host anu sucking blood. 1t can
be eradicated by hand application,
spraying, medicated hog wallows, and
dipping Dipping is the best meth
cd of applying treatment. Crude
petroleum and tar cresote dips are
effective remedies.
Two species of mango mites COM
monty affect hogs. The nature and
habits of these mites, the symptoms
caused by each species, and the meth
DDS of control and eradication are
discussed in Farmers Bulletin 1885,
Hog Lice and Mango, Methods of
Control and Eradication, issued by
the department, and sent free on re-
quest. Crude petroleum and lime
sulphur dips are effective remedies
for common or sarpotic mango of
hogs.
Plans for hog wallows and dipping
plants, together with directions for
building them and for dipping hogs,
are given in the bulletin.
Keep Garden Free of Trash.
Neatness, cleanliness, and order in
the garden help in the fight against
insects and diseases, specialists in the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture emphasize. AS a general
rule, the residue of the garden, such
as cornstalks, tomato vines, potato
tops ETC., should be burned. Do this
promptly, so that insects and disease
spores may not be harbored in the
rubbish. Just as soon as any crop is
gothered, remove the trash, spade up
the ground, and plant something else.
Keep the garden free from weeds at
all times, and this can best be done
by frequent cultivation which destroy
the weed seeds as soon as they sprout.

Chilling Temperatures Stimulate
Plant Growth.


Ripe blueberries were gathered in
February, March and April in the
greenhouses of the U, S. Department
of Agriculture as a result of expert
ments in the stimulation of plant
growth by a period of chilling.
These plants were the large hy-
breds developed from wild blueber-
ries through 10 years of selection and
breeding. The largest berries reach
ed a diameter of over "a inch.
At various times from midsummer
to autumn the plants were placed in
glass frames artificially chilled. At
ter two or three months chilling they
were brought into a greenhouse and
began growing and Towering at once,
while similar plants that had not
been through the chilling period con-
tinued dormant in the same green

Profit In Building Partitions In Stock
Cars.
A little time and labor, possibly a
little money, expended in building a
strong partition to separate the big
animals from the small ones in a
mixed carload of live stock frequent
ly saves the shipper from a serious
loss on the consignment, say special
lists of the Bureau of Markets, u. S.
Department of Agriculture. The
smaller animals such as hogs, lambs,
goats, and sheep, are always in dan
ger of injury from the larger animals
and this is especially true when the
car is overcrowded.
Crippled animals mean a loss to
r the shipper for they bring prices con-
siderably below the regular market
price for sound stock. Dead animals
bring still less in the case of hogs
only about so to rs cents per hun
dred pounds for grease. There is al
ways the danger, too of the smaller
stock becoming bruised, through be-
ing jostled and kicked by the larger
ones. Bruises make a carcass less

despite our present-day motor

the ratio Of horses to men for the Al

woefully acute. The broad plans Of

How To Obtain Customers For Parcel
Post Trade.

U
/ Post Trade.
For producers who wish to market
by parcel post the most satisfactory
way of finding customers Is to write
to friends, relatives. or acquaintances
/ in cities. seeking their trade. say
specialists OF the Bureau Of Markets
( u. S. Department of Agriculture.
Purchasers. on the other hand, often
can locate reliable producers by cor
respondence with friends, relatives
or acquaintenances in the country.
More than as per cent of the produce
being marketed by parre, post in a
number of cities in which investiga-
lions have been made is sent by per-
sons who obtain their customers in
this way.
Making business contact is less diff
ficult between friends because there
is an absence of the suspicion and
distrust that sometimes is found be-
tween strangers. Many persons will
not order farm produce from strang-
ers because they do not know the con-
ditions under which the articles are
produced, it is said.
Although ways of obtaining GUS
toners are numerous, no method is
so promising as that of working up
trade with or thru friends. This
method of establishing business re-
lationship is especially recommend
ed for the general farmer who has
limitd amount of produce. Those
who wish to market a great deal of
produce by parcel post may find it
necessary to obtain customers by per-
sonally soliciting strangers or thru
advertising in newspapers and by 9TH
er publci means. Another method is
to write to friends in the city, ask
ing for a list of acquaintance who
would probably be interested in re-
ceiving table supplies by parcel pest.

house. Gardeners have applied the
method in some degree to various
plants, such as the lily-of-the-valley.
II is only recently, however, that
department experimenter discov-
cred that a period of chilling is a
general requirement Of northern
plants.

This, taken in connection with the
fact that sentiment here has within
the last few days grown steadily in
favor OF Ireland's aspirations as out
lined by De Valera, has strengthened
tie belief that peace IN the island %
in fair wny to follow the present
conferences.
Another influence which is making
itself strongly felt is that of the Do
minion Premies. 1t is known that
they are in favor of an early settle
ment of the irish question, and it is
currently reported that they impressed
this upon Sir James when they were
summoned to the office of the British
Premier, after the latter had talked
with the Ulster leader
The significance of what passed be-
tween Premier Lloyd George and Sir
James Craig may be judged from
the following message received from
Belfast: "FolIowing a communication
from Sir James Craig, members Of
the Ulster Cabinet selected to take
part in the Irish peace conference
have left for London"
Mr.. De Valera's next meeting with
the Premier will not take place be-
fore Monday, If then, and II 10 likely
other meetings will follow.
There is no question of Premier
Craig being associated with these
conversations, the procedure being
that Mr.. De Valera will lay his views
before Premier Lloyd George, who
will deal with Premier Craig. The
Sim F'ein delegation are ready 10
consider listers claims in the most
liberal spirit, and if Ulster attempts
to block a settlement they will not
find much sympathy here as when
they successfully did so on so many
former occasions.
The continuance OF the Orange out
breaks and unproyoked attacks on the
Catholics in Belfast are already hav-
ing d saIu tary effect on English pub
lie opinion.
