ox-WARBLE IS COSTLY PEST
Loss Caused by Decrease in Milk Flow.
Destruction of Hides and Meat
Wastage.

"The little ox-warble. means an ac-
tual cash loss of $5O,OO0,OO0 to the
United States each year," stated F. G.
Bishop, of Dallas, Tex, in an address
before the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, at their
meeting in Toronto, recently.
saThe loss comes" he said, Through
a falling off in the milk flow, illness
among the cattle, due to irritation and
worry, destruction of hides and vast
age of meat when the beast finally
goes to the block"
"When the grubs reach the back of
the animal" said the speaker, 'they
make their presence apparent by the
lump or swelling their body causes.
Gradually they make their way out
through the back of the animal and
drop off, to begin all over again their
life history. The only hope of dealing
with the pest lies in energetic action
by cattle owners in working out and
destroying the MARBLES from the backs
of their stock. The herd should be
gone over Systematically every 80
days, the grubs squeezed out and de-
stroyed. OF course, even then, there
is loss because of the holes left in the
hide; FIVE punctures Of the back or
sides by MARBLES reduce any hide to
No. 2 grade"

of Agriculture.)
Hotbeds and cold frames enable the
home gardener to lengthen the grow
ing season for his crops. With them
he can start his operations a few
weeks in advance of the last chilly
days of spring, before which 1t is not
possible to plant out of doors.
Throughout the spring and summer
these beds may be utilized, and after
the first fall frost they furnish pro-
lection for late vegetables. They are
inexpensive and easily operated, say
garden specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Making Hotbed Sash.
Standard hotbed sash are by 6
feet, and it is customary to make a
home garden hotbed with one, two, or
more sash, according to the size of
bed desired. Select a well-protected
and thoroughly-drained spot, dig a
pit. IL to IS inches deep and little
larger than the bed is to be made.
Throw the good top soil to one side.
For a two-sash bed about one good
wagonload of fresh horse-stable ma
nure will be required. The manure
should be thrown in fiat pile few
feet away from where the bed is to
be constructed and the pile turned
about twice at intervals of three or
four days. AS it is turned the outer
portion of the pile is thrown to the
middle and the inner portion to the
outside, in order to get uniform heat
ing throughout. Then put, the manure
into the pit, each forkful being shaken
to break it apart and spread it even
ly. 1t, should be well tramped. Put
in layer about inches deep, then
another layer, treading each until the
pit has been filed level with the
ground. 1t should be just moist
enough. to pack reasonably solid, but
springy under the feet.
The frame of the bed, made Of wood,
is then set on top Of the manure and
the earth from the bottom of the pit
banked up outside Of the frame to keep
out the cold. The north side of the
frame should be inches higher than

ture and Pays Well II Herds
Are Handled Right.

In this country the sheep industry
has had frequent ups and downs, and
recently 1t has been very much de-
pressed, but it is an industry necessary
to a well-balanced agriculture and
usually it pays fairly good returns
when flocks are properly handled. Wool
Is staple commodity and mutton Is
q regular part Of our diet, though 1t Is
much less used than beef or pork. Con-
ditions in many parts of the United
States are excellent for sheep raising
and there can be little doubt that with
In relatively short time the sheep will
be more profitable than during the past
year.
Present conditions of depression are
abnormal, just as the period of I'M
usual prosperity was abnormal. There
Is a surplus Of wool on hand in the
country now, but 1t is being used up
faster than 1t is being replaced by pro-
ductiOn on American farms. Even now
mutton and lamb are in sufficient de-
mand so that, in connection with wool,
sheep raising is good business. In
the farming areas more attention is
paid to mutton making; the range
men have given more attention to wool,
but now depend more on the returns
for lamb and mutton than they have

the surface of the pit is spread on
the packed manure. 1t is good plan
to mix little well-rotted manure with
this soil.
Put the sash on and leave the bed
to heat for several days. First the
manure will become very hot, then
after two or three days it will grad

of old carpet or burlap mat to throw

tremely cold nights.
Care Of Hotbeds.
Hotbeds must be watched during
bright weather to prevent them be-
coming too warm, as the sun shining
directly on the glass soon brings the
temperature above that suitable for
the growing of plants.
Ventilation is provided by propping
the sash up at one side or the other
according to the direction of the wind.
Have the wind blow over the opening
and not directly into the bed.
Cold frames are hotbeds minus ar
tificial heat-simply sash-covered
frames with no pit under them but
banked up on the outside to keep out
the cold. They are useful for grow
Ing plants that have been started in
hotbeds, and for hardening plants to
get them in condition to plant in the
garden. Sometimes bed about 121a
feet in length covered by four regular

and the other cold frame. This is
an excellent arrangement and one that

low box or tray filled with soil and
kept in warm, sunny place until the
weather is quite warm. Eggplant re-
quires rich soil and good cultivation.
Occasional applications of very weak
liquid manure also benefit the plants
greatly.
Eggplant is attacked by several
kinds Of insects, the most trouble
some of these being the little flea
beetle which works upon the leaves,
filling them full Of small round holes.
AS remedy, dust the plants thor
oughly with air-slaked lime or very
fine tobacco dust BY removing the
fruits Of the eggplant as soon as they
attain good size the plants can be
kept fruiting until killed by frost.
Black beauty and improved large pur-

CLEANING AND GRADING SEED
No other Single Farm Operation
Which Gives Larger Returns in
Producing Crops.

There is no single farm operation
so easily and cheaply done, which
gives larger returns than the thorough
cleaning and grading of all seed sown.
Besides cleaning out the weed seeds,
the light weight seeds are taken out
when the job is properly done. thus
preventing the reproduction of the
poorer plants. This practice carried
on year after year permits the in
crease of the best and kills out the
poorest. Thorough cleaning and
grading of all seeds planted is the
first step toward successful crop.
There is no time like the present to
put the seed in proper shape for plant
ing.

Farmers of this community who

tracts during the past few weeks
should make it their particular duty
to attend the local unit meetings, to
be held next Tuesday. The coming
year is going to be an important one
to this newly organized national CO.
operative grain concern. It's plan pro-
misses to do much for the grower, but
it's capacity for service will be no
greater than the men who direct 1t.
And. 50 far as the individual men,
Der is concerned, the directors will be
determined largely by the approach
ing local meetings. The best, most
progressive, business-like farmer that

ment in each section should represent
that community at the congressional
meeting to be held later in the month.
North Dakota should send her most

between the committee appointments
of one and the important committee
appointments of the other, remarking
that while we point to the splendid
committee appointments Of Young,
McCumber has better committee APP
pointments and Andrews makes the
claim that we are inconsistent in our
attitude. There are none so blind as
those who will not see. We do not
think so. Mr.. Young has been doing
things for the state and when we need
ed help in times Of stress to redeem
the state from the bunch of Wreckers
who are paying reversible Andrew
good and tidy sum to pound proml-
nent independents SO that he can apol
oyize afterwards, Young was out here
on the stump helping out and cour-
ageously taking a stand for the right.
He has also stood for those things
which are for the best interests in
the state. What has McCumber been
doing? He came here couple OF
years ago, made a few speeches in
the state and talked about tariff and
national politics but kept his mouth
closed as tight as a clam on state pol
itics-because he had an ak to grind
and did not want to offend the league
leaders and his dear friend Alex. Nc
Kenzie-who is head of the league
movement. Then he is doing notori-
Gus things in supporting Andrew Mil
Ter and a line of old time stalwarts
that John Andrews a few years ago
was Kidding with his big guns, but
this same bunch seem to be meeting
with Johns favor at this time. Talk
about consistency, it does not appear
to be in the dictionary of the Courier
News editor. If it will help to dispel
the gloom in John Andrews mind we
can say with authority that George
M. Young is not going on the court of
claims but is and will be candidate
to succeed himself.
