STOCK JOBBING CHARGED
Senator Curtis Claims This Is Chief
Reason for Depression in Prices of
Crude Oils.

Washington, June 22.--Depression
In the price of crude oil during the
last three months was said today by
Senator Curtis of Kansas to be "pri-
marily for the purpose of stock job
bing."
He charged that certain stock, job
bers have been Systematically placed
in possession of advance information
regarding the reductions to be made
In the price Of crude and refined oil.
while government control of the
petroleum industry may not be de-
sirable," said statement issued by
Senator Curtis ut is certainly true
that the cause of those who advocate
government control has been greatly
advanced by the fact that a small
group of men has been able to fore
tell and to bring about a series Of
cuts of petroleum prices in such
way as to unstabilize the industry and
at the same time reduce the entire
securities market to a state of de-
moralization."

Horses Are Annoyed by
BOthy Pest in August

During August, horses are annoyed
to a considerable extent by the pres
ence of BOTTLES. These flies are about
the size of h%oneybees, and are most
annoying to horses legs.
BOTTLES deposit small yellow eggs,
and ement them to hairs at the time
they are laid. During the late fall and
early winter the eggs enter the horses
mouth. Later the eggs hatch in the
stomach, and develop into the larval
form known as bots. They attach
themselves to the lining Of the stoIn-
ach. where they remain and consume
some of the nutriment that should
nourish the horse. During late spring
and early summer the bots pass out in
the manure They at once burrow into
the ground, where they undergo
changes in their life cycle, and soon
emerge as fully developed BOTTLES.
Bots produce no definite symptoms.
neither is there any satisfactory treat
mont that can be applied. Prevention
is easy, and practicable to a consider
able extent. Every few days during
the fall months all hairs should be
clipped off that contain eggs of bot
files. By thus reducing the number OF
eggs the number of bots will be re-
duced.

Cabbage Will Respond
Nicely to Use of Lime

The gardener and orchardist is
constantly surprised at the responsive
ness Of plant life. Some plants re-
spond to one treatment and some an
other. but certain II is hat the
requirements of each kind of crop
grown must be studied rather than
to treat all alike.
In the study of fertilizer require
ments by the Ohio experiment station
both at Wooster and Marietta 1t is an
outstanding fact that cabbage will re-
spond markedly to the use of lime.
Where one ton Of ground limestone
Is applied to the land each year, and
no other treatment is given there has
been an average increase for eight
years Of TX ton of cabbage. In con-
trast to this the tomatoes have given
only a little over cne-fourth ton In
crease. Likewise. when lime Is used
with either manure or chemicals the
Increase from lime is striking. 1t is
n coincidence that lime is also n spe-
cifc for club-root of cabbage and
gives additional reason for applying it.
Spinach is another crop that will
give a big return for the use Of lime
on an acid soil. The difference be
tween lined and unlimed spinach is
so great as 10 lead one to think heavy
msuuring or fertilizing was the cause.

Female Purebreds
Showing Increase
On Many Farms Scrubs
Have Practically Disap-
peared From Flocks.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
When farmers adopt purebred sires
to head their herds and fOcks 1t is not
long before the percentage Of pure
bred females increase notably. This
encouraging tendency toward more
rapid Improvement Of live stock has
been brought about by the United
States Department Of Agriculture In
the "Better Sires-Better Live Stock"
campaign.
Scrubs Disappear.
OF a total of more than 100000 fe-
male animals listed by farmers who
have agreed to keep nothing but pure
bred sires, more than 80 per cent
are Of pure breeding. On these farms
scrubs have practically disappeared.
For the larger animals the reports
show that only "a per cent of the fe-
males are scrubs, and, Of course, the
males are of pure blood. as that is the
basis on which the farms are listed.
The poultry flOcks owned by these
farmers r particularly well bred.
only 1.3 per cent Of the female birds
being listed as scrubs. More than 90
per cent Of a total of 10000 birds are
entered on the list as standard bred.
Among the herds of swine there are
very few scrub sows-only IL per
cent. Nearly-two thirds of them are
purebred.
The federal-state effort to improve
the live stock and poultry of the ccun-
try has now brought in a membership
campaign that represents nearly a mill
lion head Of animals and poultry,
Farmers who have become members
have sent In interesting accounts of
their experiences in improving their
animals and their bank accounts. Other
farmers who are taking part in the
work are invited by the department to
send in their individual experiences as
well as those Of community organiza-
tions engaged in the Improvement Of
live stock. Definite facts and figures
should be included whenever possible.

Extensive Experiments
With Apples for Swine

The Washington State college has
found hat Gull apples are worth $40
n ton as hog feed. Extensive expert
ments were conducted the past year.
Pigs which weighed 94.S pounds each
at the start Of the experiment gained
In weight 66.1 pounds each, or an av-
erage of 1.3s pounds per day. Each
pig was fed an average of 400 pounds
OF apples and All pounds of grain per
day. 1t was found that the apples
saved. per every 100 pounds Of gain.
400 pounds of tankage, 31.7 pounds
OF millrun and 94.42 pounds of barley.
To do this. 2s6.6 pounds of apples were

Hog-G Growing Contests
Make Better Breeders

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Hog-growing contests In which the
object is to make a litter weigh a ton
when six months old have demonstrate
ed the sOundness Of the recommended
lions on breeding, feeding and manage
ment which have long been made by
the various state department stations
and the United States Department OF
Agriculture. In one of these contests
conducted last year by the Indiana
Live Stock Breeders association 500
farmers enrolled and SO of them raised
SO filters which weighed 1000 pounds
or more at the end of $50 days.
The important facts for pig pro-
ducers to remember. says e. 2. Russell.
In. charge of swine Investigations for
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. is that all Of the winning lit
tiers were narrowed and sucked in
clean quarters; all were sired by pure
bred boars; % of the dams were pure
bred, 9 were high-grades and 2 cross
breds none of the SO filters contained
fewer than 10 pigs; and all Of them
were narrowed by old sows. On the
average, therefore, the pigs In these
record filters weighed 200 pounds when
they had reached the tender age Of
six months.
Many states are holding similar con-
tests this year, says the department,
and 1t is expected that the results will
make a large number of converts to
the principles and practices of better
breeding, feeding and care, not only
for hogs. but for all kinds of farm anil
mails.
