wide publicity thruout the country.
records of the Department of Agri-
culture show that during the month
of August practically all the cattle
in Echols County were dipped under
Federal or State supervision.
Most opposition to the eradication
of cattle ticks results from unfamil-
iarity with the purpose and benefits
of the work or from unwillingn ess
to receive information on the sub
Ject. More than Is years of ex-
perience in conducting systematic
dipping has enabled the Departm ent
of Agriculture to meet all situations
and opposition encountered up to the
present time. The usual education
al work is generally effective, but
additional persuasion combined with
law enforcement is at times neces-
sary.

Prompt Action against Hog Cholera
Saves Heavy Loss.

Watch for the first hog to show
signs of cholera. advises the United
States Department of Agriculture. If
the herd is treated Immediately it is
generally possible TO save the herd
with but few losses. If the disease,
however, is allowed to reach all the
animals before the serum is applied
heavy losses may be expected. Anti
hog cholera serum is a preventive
and not a cure for hog cholera, the
department points out.
Whenever a hog dies of an un-
known cause the owner should watch
his herd closely for at least a week,
and If any more hogs in the herd
begin to show signs of sickness a
veterinarian should be called imme-
diately, for the chances are that hog
cholera has reached the herd and
prompt action in applying the serum
treatment is the only thing that will
save the well animals. A high tenn
perature, ranging from los degrees
to los degrees F., in hog that stag
gers when it walks, is pretty good
indication of hog cholera. Such
hogs should be segregated and not
allowed to mingle with other hogs or
to wander about, for they will spread
the disease wherever they go, some /
times in places where 1t is impossi- !
BILE to disinfect. Hogs that die on |
the farm should be buried, or, pre-
ferably, burned, in order to prevent
birds, insects, and animals that visit
the carcass from spreading the dis
ease
Usually the disease is most pre-
yalent during the fall months and
losses are invariably heavy in herds
where owners neglect to immunize
their hogs before the disease reaches
hem, or fail to call veterinarian
on its first appearance.

growth or producing eggs can not
assimilate enough nutriment from
whole or cracked grains to supply
the maximum need. When the grain
is ground, says the United States
Department Of Agriculture, little
work is required Of the gizzard, and
much more of the feed can be used
in making flesh or eggs.
The scratch grain part Of the ra-
tion, however, is needed to give the
gizzard something to do in order to
keep the birds in health. For lay
ing hens the scratch grain thrown in
the litter provides an incentive to
needed exercise.
1t was once thought that the mash
should be fed wet to produce the best
results, but experiments have proved
that in spite of the slightly better
palatability of the wet feed, the con-
venience of feeding IL dry overbal
ances any slight gain in production.
Feeding it dry is now the usual
method. Digestibility is not increas-
ed by wetting.
The principal objection to the w.t.
mash is that it requires too much
labor. 1t must be moistened, then
carried to the hens once a day. and
the troughs must be cleaned after
each feeding. Cleanliness is abso-
lutely essential, because Indigestion
and diarrhea will result from the
feeding in dirty troughs. On the
other hand, the dry mash hopper
may be filled once a week or even
less frequs ntly. Hens do not over
eat of dry mash as they sometimes

October Is Best Month To Pick

ing pens next spring, according to j
r. Smyth. poultry extension spe-
cialist of the College of Agricul-
ture. Many farmers who keep pOul-
try as a sideline as well as scores of
experienced poultry breeders in the
state have found that the egg pro-
duction of NEST any flock can be in
creased by selecting the highest pro-
ducing birds in the flock and mating
them with desirable males for the
production of Matching eggs.
October is perhaps the best month
for selecting such a pen since it is
possible to pick out the high pro-
ducing hens at that time of the year.
Farmers who wait until spring TO
pick out their breeding hens will find
that they are unable to distinguish
easily between heavy layers and
those that produce only small
number of eggs during the year. AT
ter the hens have been selected, they
should be marked with leg bands or
some other device in order that they
may be recognized in the spring
when the time for mating arrives.
Only those hens that are not
moulting or those that have just
started should be selected when the
breeding hens are being picked in
October. The yellow color also
should be faded from the shanks and
beaks of birds belonging to yellow
breeds. Vigorous hens hav-
ing a bright, clear, prominent eye
with an eyelid that is free from fat |
usually will have many of the char |
acteristics that are desirable in
breeding hens. 1t is important that

Eggs and Poultry Plentiful Fore
cast for This Winter.

This fall and winter eggs and
poultry will be plentiful and prices
should be low enough to make them
economical Just now storage houses
are full of eggs and farmers have
increased their flocks of poultry to
an unusual extent. On August l
there were 4,S12,24S cases of eggs
in storage, which is about 35 per
cent more than the average at this
season for the last three years
Eggs start moving out of storage
in summer and the greatest sales of
such eggs come in fall and early
winter. AS rule. the bulk of stor-
age eggs are sold before the LIST of
January. the activity of the market
after that date depending on wheth-
err the weather is severe OF mild

An opIn winter practically elimi-
mates the storage egg early in the
season. But this year, regardless of
the state of the weather, eggs should
be available at very reasonable
prices from the start.

ciality and as a side issue on other
farms, has been one OF the best pay

CONTROLLING POULTRY LICE
Hens Can't be Blamed for Leaving
Nest to Escape Lice

Can a sitting hen be blamed for
leaving her nest to get away from
lice? Is there any wonder the num-
Der of eggs on the lice-infested farm
is less than on the farm where there
are no lice to annoy the chickens?
Is the price OF feed so low, or have
you so much money, that you can
afford to feed an army of lice to
poster your poultry?
Unquestionably the answer to the
above questions is no. Then, it be-
jhooves the owners OF poultry to COM
bat these irritating enemies of poul-
try. How can it be done? Sodium
flouride powder is probably the best
remedy, according to Professor ]. r
