"The agricultural problem Is not for
farmers only, but for all classes. Ag-

In industry-that Is, all industry has
changed from the indlvldualistlc basis

CHICKEN LICE WORRY FOWLS
Application Of Blue Ointment ls e.
ficacious-sodlum Fluorid Also
Works Well.

A study of the life of chicken lice
shows that there are dozen different
kinds injecting the same bird. Most
Of them, however, frequent the rear
part of the body at least once In every
twenty-four hours where they obtain
the necessary moisture for their life
and growth. This moisture Is obtain
ed from around the vent. This habit
of lice would answer one method of
treatment, the use of blue ointment.
Blue ointment applied around the
vent and under the wing Of each fowl
affected seems to get rid of the lice
In a very short time. A piece the
size of good sized pea Is plenty for
one bird. If the blue ointment Is
thick and heavy 1t should be melted
SO that 1t can be applied in very
thin layer. 1t is well to make second
application two weeks after the first,
especially If the birds are badly af-
fected.
We find that about two applications
year seem to be sufficient to control
the lice.
Any Of the advertised lice powders
and many of the home made powders
seem to work very well for short
time. Their results, however, are only
temporary, thus involving considerable

DAIRY
HINTS
GROWTH CYCLES OF HEIFERS
Young Dairy Animals Pass Through
Three Distinct Periods-Feed
an Abundance.

Breeders of dairy cattle commonly
believe that the rate of growth Of
their stock Is more or less uniform,
but at gradually decreasing rate as
the animals reach maturity.
From the large amount of data
available on the normal growth Of
dairy cattle, the interesting and
scientifically important fact that the
dairy heifer does not make a uniform
gain in weight during the growth
period, but that the gains are made in
spurts or cycles has been discovered
by the department of dairy husbandry
Of the Missouri College of Agriculture.
1t has been found that the dairy
COW passes through at least three such
cycles Of growth. The first squirt or
period of very rapid growth occurs
before birth, during the fifth and sixth
months. The second squirt of growth
begins about two months before birth

POULTRY NOTES

The hen that lays $50 eggs year
is doing very good work.
Winter eggs should be the constant
object of poultry flock owners.
1t Is not so much what Is fed as
how 1t is given that brings results.
Frozen combs are a good sign of
poor ventilation In the henhouse. It's
not so much the cold as the humidity.
Chickens that are sick or anemic
and doing poorly should be culled out
at all times. The spindle-legged.
long headed, shallow-bodied pullets
should be eliminated as soon as dis
covered.
Use one male bird to every ten or
fifteen hens of the heavier breeds, and
one to every fifteen or twenty Leghorn
hens to give good fertility.
Wyandottes have standard weight
of S1A pounds for cocks; 61a pounds
for hens; III pounds for ceS,rels,
and 512 pounds for the pullets.
Geese generally mate In pairs, but
occasionally where you have two or
three ganders you can work in an
extra goose and find that the eggs
will be FERTILE otherwise not.

Methods Of Packing.
Standard packages used in various

accepted methods Of packing tomatoes
In the crates, Tugs and baskets. Pic
lures show specimens of defective or
diseased stock which must be excluded
If the tomatoes are to be properly
graded SO as to bring the highest cash
returns to the grower.
Considerable space is devoted to a
discussion Of packing sheds, ranging
from temporary field shelters to the
most improved central packing houses.
The economy and effectiveness of run

the Importance of careful inspection
Of the tomatoes In the process of

taken records ON about $4,000 steers
In various states Of the corn belt
When the work Is finished at the end

on approximately 100000 steers fed
for the market.
In the territory covered--Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, and Ne
braska-most of the feeders are
finished on corn and legume hay. or
on corn and silage supplemented with
protein meal. The kind of hay
grown in a particular locality usually
determines the ration used. and
survey shows that about equal num-
bers of steers are fed each year by
these two methods. Where clover
or alfalfa Is grown abundantly the
standard ration is corn and one OF
these hays. In other places, where
most of the hay is mixed, silage Is
included In the ration, and cotton
seed or llnseed meal Is fed as sup
plement to supply protein.
