Hens In Many Flocks Troubled
With Worms

Inquiries and specimens of sick
chickens that have been received
from scores of farmers in all parts
of the state during the last few
months by the veterinary depart
ment of the Kentucky Agricultural
Experiment Station indicate that
many Kentucky poultry flocks are
dangerously infested with worms,
veterinarians of the station say.
Practically all hens that have not
been treated probably are troubled
with internal parasites although the
number is not large enough to be
serious in number of cases. In
cases where the worms have become
serious, hens lose weight, despite
the fact that they are eating hearth
ly, and finally die. Veterinarians
and pOultrymen at the station have
suggested that farmers take steps
to rid their birds OF the parasites
before winter.
Whether or not worms are re-
sponsible for the death of fowls can
be determined by opening the intes-
tines with a pair of shears and OBJ
serving the tract from the gizzard to
the caeca, commonly known as the
two blind sacks. If worms are the
cause OF death, they usually are
quite evident in large numbers in
the small intestine. Tapeworms,
distinguished by the well defined
segments that make up their
length. and wire worms usually are
most common in this part OF the
tract. Worms In the eaeca are
small and thread-like and usually
measure from a quarter to half inch
long.
In treating for tape worms, ia
blespoonful of concentrated I've is
added to gallon OF mash and
stepped for two hours. The treat
ment for wire worms Is made by
covering a pound of chopped tobac-
co stems with water and sleeping
ing for two hours after which this
mixture is added to a gallon OF
mash. In giving either OF the treat
ments to hens. they are taken on
feed the night before and fed the
xture the following noon or
afternoon. II necessary. the treat

The first term of the annual two
term short course in practical agri-
culture offered TO farm men and
boys of the state by the College OF
Agriculture will open Nov. /, ac-
cording TO an announcement by
Thomas p. Cooper, dean of the COL
lege. Almost 80 subjects including
a variety in soils and crops, live
stock, entomology, farm economics
and horticulture will be offered for
study, the instruction in these TO be
given by members of the regular
college faculty. The first term will
end Dec. 81 while the second term
will open Jan. and continue until
Feb. "a. Either one or both courses
may be taken.
Some of the subjects which will
be given attention in the soils and
crops course include soil fertility
soil physics and management, farm
crops, plant diseases. gas engines
and tractors, sanitary equipment for
the farm and hygiene and santa

soils can be made TO produce larger
crops, what commercial fertilizers
should be used and how, how soils
have been formed, the manner Of
planting different crops, methods of

Good Care And Feed Make Fall
Pigs Pay

Fall filters of pigs can be made
a paying project on Kentucky farms
provided the animals are given the
right kind Of care and fed bal
anced ration, according to e. s.
Good, head of the animal husband
~ department of the College Of Ag-
rioulture. In the past, some farm
ers have said there was no money
in raising fall litters because the
pigs did not grow out sufiicieuSnV to
pay for the time in caring for them
and the feed which they ate. Farm
ers who have carried out recon-
mended practices in caring for their
fall filters have demonstrated that
this is not true.
1T must be remembered that if
sow is maintained for one litter
Of ligs that the expense on each pig
is twice rs great as it is when the
SOW is allowed two filters year.
Winters that are mild compared to
those of northern states make Ken
lucky especially adapted for the
raising of fall litters.
AT this time OF the year, the
SOW with a fall litter should be on
full feed and kept there, until her
pigs are weaned at about eight
weeks of age. After weaving the
young animals can be put on a pas
ture of rye, barley or wheat and al
lowed a mixture of seven parts of
corn, three parts of middlings, and
cre part OF tapkage, being fed what
they will clean up twice a day with
out waste. Excellent results also
can be obtained by allowing the
pigs corn in one self feeder and
tarkage in another. A good mineral
mixture for the young animals can
be made of equal parts of finely
ground limestone and salt. They
should be accustomed to this grad
ually after which il can be put in a
self feeder. Raw bone meal i'm
proves this mixture. Another good
mineral mixture can be made of two
bushels of slack coal, two quarts OF
slaked lime, two pounds of salt,
one bushel of wood ashes and one
and one-fourth pounds OF iron sui
phate. The iron sulphate should be
either dissolved or finely ground
and all the materials mixed together
If the pigs are lousy at weaving
tine, they should be sprayed with
crude oil, warm days being best foI
doing this. If there is reason to be-
lieye they are infested with worms
OIL of chenopodium, which may be
purchased at any drug store, should
be given. Two cubic cenl.meters OF
the oil of chenolodium are given
with about 80 cubic centimeters OF
castor oil TO pig weighing from
40 to 100 pounds"

Cost OF Horse Labor Can BE Cut
Down Now

Down Now
With the harvest season almost
ended in Kentucky, farmers can cut
the cost of their horse labor by
economizing in the feeding and care
of work stock during the coming
winter, according to w. 5. Ander-
son, a member of the animal hus-

culture and well known authority
on horses. Only a small part of the
average number of work animals
will be needed on the farm between
now and the time of early spring
blowing. This form of economy is
especially important at this time in
view of the fact that the chief con-
sideration OF the farmer is to re-
duce cost OF production and of oper-
alton.
Work stock in the early fall
months will Go well with a third to
a half grain ration and access to a
a good pasture field. The grain can
be gradually les.ened until the ami
mails are consuming only the rougn-
age of the pasture which may be
supplemented by slower, straw or
rough hays. If shed can be pro-
vided so that the work stock can go
into it to protect themselves from
severe storms, they will do well the
entire winter running at large in a
boundary. As cold weather comes
on and grass disappears, some suita-
BILE roughage must be provided. Ac-
cess to straw or hay stack or plen-
ty of corn slower will enable the
animals 10 go through in fair flesh.
Some grain should be given, how
ever, in the coolest and toughest
weather,
1t is not necessary that idle
stock be kept in stalls and fed like
stock which is in the harness daily.
Freedom of a field where plenty Of
exercise can be had and access to q
reasonable amount OF roughage is
all that is necessary. This method
of carrying work stock through the
winter cuts of the big items of
daily attention such as feeding,
watering and cleaning stalls. A big
part of the grain feed also is saved
by this method of handling the an
| mails.
Horses and mules that will moi
be needed for heavy road work for
some months 10 come should have
their shoes removed and if their
feet are strong enough to bear up,
they should he allowed TO 90 with
| out shoes from this time until
spring work begins. A considera-
Die item of expense can be saved in
this way"

Farm And Home News From Owe,
Kentucky

The eradication of tuberculosis
from Mclean county dairy herds is
going forward steadily, County
Agent Robert H. Ford says. A to-
tai of 500 cows recently we're tested
in two weeks with the results that
seven were found to be tubercular.
The value of cover crops in pro-
tecting fields from erosion and
teaching during the winter is receiv-
ing increased attention from Owsley
county farmers, County Agent p. M.
Frye says. More farmers are SOW
ing winter oats for this purpose this
fall than ever before in the history
of the county.
Pulaski county farmers during
the summer just past have carried
on an intensive drive against the
low producing hens in their poultry
hocks, according to County Agent
w. C. Wilson. A total of Is demon
STATIONS were held in different parts
OF the county to show farmers how
TO separate the hens that were still
laying from those that had stopped
to loaf until spring.
Twelve oldham county farmers
who are cooperating with County
Agent Gordon B. Nance and the ex-
tension division of the College of
Agriculture at Lexington have Or
dered a carload of limestone which
will be used in demonstrations de-
signed to show what this material
will do in increasing crop yields.
A number of Marion county farm
ers are planning to find out what
acid phosphate will de toward in
creasing their wheat yields. They
have ordered a carload of the ma
terial which will be used in demons
strations that will be conducted on
their farms in cooperation with the

The Mother of Iscariot

The mother of Iscariot
Was never done
Telling the women at the we'll,
Or at the market place,
Or on the windy roofs
At set of sun,
How of the twelve He chose
To follow Him,
Her son was one!
They wearied of the telling
Yet she erred
In such mothering sweet way,
That through the years,
Half plying, half envying,
They heard, and hearing, smiled,
Or shook their heads,
Or sighed,
But said no word.
Three years win Him-three years
And then-the Dread
The thunderous dark,
Earthquake and binding light,
Spears-torches faring red
The frenzied mob
The thieves
And One who hung between,
With thorn-bound head.
Iscariot's mother-afterward-
Timid and gray,
Stealing by twilight to the we'll,
Or through the market place,
Knowing they knew
Heard whispers,
Saw faces turned away,
Knew that they knew
And blamed them not
There was no more to say.

And the bootlegger says:
"Say, listen. If I was to tell you

would you? So help me, this stuff is
straight out of Paris, France, by the
last ship, the Hexagonia-landed in
Boston yesterday-4,000 quarts-and

you wouldn't believe that, would
you?"
Then something makes you take one

pretended they did not like newspa-

No doubt Mr.. Edison would fail to
answer many of this simple list. In
that event he must abate his merry

themselves unable to answer many of

however, that many Duluth school

has the utmost confidence In his

ture, '"Travelin' On" directed by
Lambert Hillyer, who also scenario
cd tho drama from Mr.. Harris own
story.
~. B."-a cattle brands what
the hero calls himself. He rides
into town and makes everyone re-
spect him. Even the itinerant
preacher and his beautiful wife
learn to feel that he is a mar among
men, but they cannot induce him
to admit his belief in a higher power
than himself.
How finally he comes to realize
that man alone cannot always con-
troll human events, how love softens
his heart aud results in a great sac
riice-these things are told in a
drama that is one of the most com
pelling ever shown on the screen.
Ethel Grey Terry is the whole
some and lovely heroine. and there
are many other fine actors in the
cast. Undoubtedly this Is an ideal
western drama of the type that has
made Mr.. Hart famous and endear-
