Efficient Measures for
Killing Vermin on Hogs

Small, but very costly to swine rails
ers. are the lice that very frequently
make their appearance in great num-
bers. When the animals scratch them
selves continually on posts, wagon
wheels or other convenient rubbing
places, the attendant should recognize
the danger signal and furnish relief.
The hog louise is a blood-sucking
parasite, which, II not itself visible,
may be detected by the presence OF
yellow eggs usually deposited in the
bristles on the back of the neck. Lice
occasion heavy losses through caus-
ing uneasiness among the animals, as
we'll as actually reducing their vitality.
Many successful breeders use rub
bling posts for the application of crude
oil. which Is destructive to both lice
and eggs. One farmer, however, who
owns only a few head Of hogs, wraps
burlap about a post and soaks 1t oc-
casionally with the waste oil from his
tractor. The hogs rub against the bur-
lap and cover themselves with the OIL
Dipping is sure death to the lice, but
IS said not always tC destroy the eggs.
Spraying with kerosene emulsion Is

Lilies Gre 10 in Ocean

Women in West Indies

In the West indies the women carry

Spare Tire of Quality
One of Big Essentials

Why spoil the pleasure Of a motor
trip by setting OF without a spare
tire? With a view Of economy many
drivers are carrying no spares today,
but 1t is a form Of economy that does
not pay. A spare tire Of good quality
is one Of the absolute essentials for
a car. 1t is the tire you depend on to
bring you home.
The spare ought to be covered to
protect it from the effects Of sunlight
and heat. Sunlight has a bad effect
on rubber, even in the coolest weather,
for 1t produces a cracking" or
Checking on the surface which rap
idly extends to the interior, causing
deterioration. Heat has an even more
destructive effect. Spares sometimes
are carried uncovered near the ex-
haust. This is poor practice If the
heat strikes an uncovered tire d.
rectly.

1T PAYS TO GRIND
GRAIN FOR STEERS

"Grinding feed for my young steers

corn, both Of which are ground. In
this shape 1t Is easily digested and the
usual waste because of cattle boiling

there is very little hog feed from

corncob makes up big share of this
loss.
Il usually buy young steers This
bunch averaged 435 pounds when 1
bought them. After almost year on
ground grain, hay and roughage. they
scaled close to 1000 pounds. This is
a very good increase In less than
twelve months. Usually 1 buy these
cattle in November and through the
winter give them silage, clover hay and
ground feed. The winter feed of grain
is about two-thirds Of what they Will

cattle are turned out. There is no set

will eat but the corn and oats, leaving
the hay. Along In September, when
the corn Is In good shape, turn the
cattle In the fields for month with
the hogs. The grain Is ripe but NOT
thoroughly hardened. This does not
make any difference.
1.-THE reason I feed young cattle Is
the initial investment It Is not very
large, so that the interest on the In
vestment does not make very much
difference. Then, too, there is the saw

Here's Only Right Way
to Mount Photographs

Photographic prints curl when they
are mounted, because the moisture on
the exposed surface Of the print evap-
crates more rapidly than that on the
back, and so causes a shrinkage. That
draws the mount out Of shape, unless
1t Is very heavy.
There are various methods Of over
coming the difficulty. You can soak
the print in q 20 per cent solution of
glycerin and water and then attach 1t
to the mount by dab of paste at each
corner, or you can use one Of the dry
mounting methods.
Coat the back of the print with
white Of egg, place 1t on the mount
and iron 1t with hot fatiron. Moth
ing short Of a miracle will get the
print off again, yet the process will
not curl the thinnest mount. You can
also get good results by dlssolving
white shellac in alcohol, and then
painting the back Of the prints with
the solution. When the solution is dry,
iron the print, as already described.
You can buy tissue paper made
especially for mounting, or can pre-
pare one that will do the work salts
factorIly. Make the coating for the
tissue as follows: Gum sandarac, three
parts; gum copal, one part; shellac,
one part; resin, one part; alcohol,
three parts; spirits Of turpentine, three
parts. Apply this to the tissue paper

Work Horses Carefully
on Hot DAYS in Spring

Horsemen need to be on their guard
against overheatng. Most cases Of
overheating can be prevented by keep
ing a few simple things in mind.
Give at least a pailful Of water to
each horse about ten o'clock and again
at three or four o'clock on hot day.
Be very careful with a horse that
is a little out of health, If you are
working him on hot day.
Look out for a horse that after
sweating freely suddenly stops sweat
ing. Put such a horse in the shade
as soon as possible and give a mod
crate drink.
Do not put horse not in good con-
dItion for hard work in the center OF
a four-horse team in hot weather.
Work carefully on hot day when
the atmosphere is moist and heavy.
A horse can hardly get too hot to
water, but one must regulate the
amount by the temperature of the
water.
In case of an attack Of overheating
the horse should be taken to the shade
as soon as possible A treatment OF
the surface Of the body, particularly
of the head, with cold water, should
be given until the temperature Is
within a degree or two Of normal.
Stimulants, such as whisky or brandy.
well diluted, should be given as early
as possible.
In most cases 1t Is better to plan to
avoid overheating than to plan to treat
the horse for 1t.

Water Cactus Of Desert

The flowers when In bloom are Of

stately stalks. One Of the interesting
desert growths is the water cactus, so
named because Of Its great stalk, from
five to ten feet high and as large In

Bad to Use Engine
and Clutch as Brake

The habit of using the engine
and clutch as a brake when
waiting for traffic to proceed up
hill Is very common and very In
furious to the car in general.
The driver leaves the car in low
gear. but rather than take his
foot off the brake, he engages
the clutch just enough to make
the engine keep the car sta

the sensible thing to do is to
keep one foot on the service
brake and feed gas from the
throttle, letting In the clutch

CAR SQUEAKSARE
HARD TO LOCATE
Always Best to Get After
Disturbing Noises as Soon
as They Commence.

nv ERWIN GREER, President Greer
College of Automotive Engineering).
A squeak Is produced by the rubbing
together Of two unlubricated parts.
Yes, but try and find the squeak de-
spite this knowledge. Take a hood
squeak for example. The leather or felt
tape on which the hood rests may be-
come 80 badly worn that metallic
metal contact between the edges Of the
hood and the supporting fanges on
radiator and cowl Is established. The
weaving Of the chassis sets up slight
rubbing motion between these parts
and a squeak appears-always very
dificult to locate. But stick with 1t
and you will eventually discover that
you have passed 1t by several times In
your search. Then finally you'll find
it-and all is peace In the motor world
once more.
Where q metal dash Is used, the up
per edges sometimes make intermittent
contact and shrill noise results. In
most cases the cure Is effected by
tightening loose nuts; otherwise thin
strip of felt should be used to separate
the offending members. Or springing
the members together-or apart-may
do. Finally, as a last resort, luDri-
cate the edges with hard grease.
Squeak May Sc Fell
Body squeaks are difficult to locate
accurately by sound alone, but for
tunately they may be felt, provided the
point where the noise occurs is ac-
cessibIe to the hand. In doing this
work one man should drive the car and
the other do the exploring. dennlte
vibration will be noted at the point OF
the squeak. You can check the squeak
by pressing the hand firmly against 1t
when it will stop.
Chatting Of the lower edge Of the
windshield against the cowl may make
a squeak. This Is usually stopped by
tightening the windshield bracket or
by the introduction Of a strip OF felt
or rubber between the two parts. A
squeak In the steering column may be
cured by removing the steering wheel
and squirting oil down into the col
umn.
Rubbing between the body stills and
the frame may produce squeak whicn
can only effectively be eliminated by
the use of felt or composition strips
placed betwee the body and the frame.
These may be purchased at any acces-
sory store.
Lubrleation Of Springs.
Noisy springs. Of course, are only
cured by fabrication Perhaps the
most simple way Is to paint alongside
the spring leaves with mixture OF
engine oil and graphite, permitting II
TO remain two or three days and then
wiping 1t off, during which time the car
can be operated.
Wood wheels often develop s1ueaks
due to the wood drying. compound
to cure this trouble is on the market.
A loose demountable rim lug may
cause dull squeak. The simple rem
edy Is to find the loose lug and tighten
It. Squeaking brakes may sometimes
be cured by dropping a little oil on
the drum-not too much though or you
won't have any brakes. Fuller's earth
or soapstone busted on the SURFACE
may quiet them and 1t Is best to Try
this remedy first.
The secret lies IN quieting the
suueaks as soon as they commence A
ouiet car is both Joy and comfort
