prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
That the decline in red-clover cul-
ture Is no myth becomes abundantly
evident when one reads the agricul-
tural literature Of the past 40 years.
Letters from farmers to the agricul-
tural press and articles by farmers
and by the experiment station workers
In the press all express concern re-
gardlng this condition and offer vari-
Gus reasons and remedies. The United
States Department of Agriculture has
been alive to the necessity Of solving
the problem of clover failure, and has
set forth It's observations as to the
causes as well as suggestions for more
favorable results, In Farmers Bulletin
1865, Clover Failure, just Issued.
Causes of clover failure, says the
department, are to be sought in I'm
proper soil conditions, in diseases, In
the use Of nonadaptable seed or in i'm
proper methods Of seeding, and In the
use Of harmful nurse crops. Improper
soil conditions result from constant
cultivation and the consequent loss Of
liHle, oERuHlC
matter, making the soil unsuitei to
the growth of clover. Such conditions
can be remedied by applying the ele-
ments lacking in field and by work.
ing in manure and other forms Of
organic matter.
In some cases clover failure is due
to diseases. and then dlsease-reslst-
ant variety must be used If available
or some other legume substituted for
red clover. Alsike clover, hairy vetch-
or annual summer legumes, such MS
soy beans, should be used when for
any reason land that needs lime can
not be economically lined. When red
clover fails on land well supplied with
lime, sweet clover can often be sub
stituted to advantage

TAKE PRECAUTIONS
FOR TREATING PIGS

prepared BY the United States Department
OF Agriculturo)
Ordinarily the cGstration of young
pigs Is a simple operation and one
which many farmers know how to per-
form. There are precautions to OBJ
serve, however. in sanitation and In
the cnse of certain conditions, such as
rupture. which should be given more
careful consideration than is ordinar-
lily done. If the best results are to be
had. The hardness of these animals
and their ability usually to Withstand
such operations favorably often leads
the hog grower to consider the oper-
alton of castration as one requiring no
particular care.
In order that young pigs will con-
tinue to gain after the operation with
out retardation OF growth or other Ill
effects they should be castrated at q
time which will allow the wounds to
become entirely healed before weaving.
AT such age pigs are easily handled,

Ing OF the wounds is facilitated through
their being nourished and protected by
sAAV so". Will
ing stunning of growth. which some
times happens at later ages, are not
liable to occur at this age. Castratlng
before weaving is good practice.
When possible, cool days should be
selected for the operation, and cold.
damp weather avoided The pigs
should be kept on n. light diet for the
"a hours preceding the operation The
digestive tract should never be dlstend-
ed with feed at the time of operating.
A thorough washing of the scrotum

soap and water, is part of the oper-
ation which should not be neglected.
Extremely irritating solutions are pain

Hemorrhagic septicemia

Farm animals that have become
scrawny through neglect during win

says DR.. G. S. Weaver. veterinarian
ut South Dakota State college. Hem
orrhagic septicemia Is one of the
diseases that Is especially active.
DIR. Weaver says that cattle are not
the only animals affected by hemor.
rhagic septcemia. but the disease in
cattle is of most Importance. The dis.
ease at first usually attacks animals
that are weakened by some other con.
dition and later the disease will spread
from one animal to another. The
germs are everywhere present and II
only takes certain conditions to bring
them out.
Fever Is one of the symptoms.
However, fever usually occurs In
any contagious disease. Frequently,
difficult breathing is noticed. Possl-
bly, pneumonia may occur as compli-
cation. Often the discharges from the
animal may be colorful with blood.
Young animals are the most suscep.
tible.
Treatment consists mainly of pre-
vention. Provide the cattle with shell
ter. palatable food and warm water,
The veterinarian can be of assistance
In properly diagnosing the disease. A

Although nemas exist In enormous
numbers and kinds in the soil and are
OF great importance in crop produc-
ton, there are important species which
infest different animals. insects and

there is one infesting fox which Is

Ing made by the department to learn
If these parasites can be used to com

that way reduces the increase enor-
mously. When the choppers" become
plentiful the parasites increase and cut
down their numbers; then through
lack Of grasshoppers the nemas de-
crease. and the cycle repeats. Inves-
tigators are now trying to find out II
1t will be practicable to Introduce this
particular nema in regions where the
"hoppers' are not infested, and in that
way help protect the crops.
Have Economic Possibilities.
There are many other possibilities
for utilizing these natura. enemies in
the interest of the farmer. There Is n
nema parasite infesting the cucumber
beetle and study is being made of
the problem of introducing them in
localities where this beetle is abun-
dant and not already badly infested.
Practically all the Injurious insects,
and the beneficial ones as well. are
thought to have their nemas, and 1t
Is possible that some day these para
sites will be used for our benefit just
as insect parasites of insects are
such economic pests as the Japanese
beetle. the European corn borer and
various caterpillnrs.
In the soil and In water there are
nemas which prey on other species OF
their own kind and 1t is thought pos
sible that some day we may be able
to increase the numbers Of those pre-
datory nemas which prey on the eco
nomically destructive ones.
This field of nematology is one which
it Is thought may be cultivated with n
great deal of promise for the farmer.
It Is certain that much more work
must be done in the control of those
