Turkeys, Ducks and Geese
Easily Killed by Vermir

Turkeys, ducks and geese are more
easily killed by the head lice than are
other kinds of farm fowls. The lice
are only one Of the six or eight forms
which bother poultry, but a single head
iouse has been known to kill a turkey.
1t Is a grayish white louise, and the
most serious of them all.
For treatment, dip the tip of the
finger in melted lard and rub this well
around the comb. Dip again and rub
back of ear, repeating for the other
ear, the bill and jaw. This does not
give the head a greasy appearance,
but Is enough to destroy the lice. A
few drops of kerosene, carbolic acid
or stock dip may be added to the lard,
to make ii more effective. The bird
should be kept in a warm place for a
couple Of hours after this treatment
has been given.

Making Silage of Most
ANY Good Green Plants

Silage may be made Of most any
green material. such as s%unfiowers. c!o-
yers. peas. etc.. but what is the
idea of fooling with these things when
common dent corn is much more easily
grown, makes more tons per acre, and
Is the best all-around sllage? 1t seems
that sunfiowers are used to some ex-
tent In some sections, where they do
better than corn. The farmer should
keep In mind that lee can get from
10 to Is tons per acre when turning
corn into silage, and, besides, 1t Is cas-
Ter to get a good. palatable quality of
corr silage than any other kind, and
that counts With cows and steers.

No Feed Equals Pasture

There Is no one feed that can be
fed in the barn that is equal to pas

be fed silage to very good advantage
when they are on pasture. II the pas
ture Is short. Silage gives best re
suits when fed In connection with other

II silage was to be fed alone, and
compared with clover and timothy hay

both sides Of the ditch, as well as the
area Of the ditch itself. II was erosion
that made the Grand canyon.
Prevention of erosion consists in
checking the speed at which the water
flows. When this Is done, silt and
sediment is deposited, the best ex-
ample of which Is the Mississippi
river. Where this stream strikes the
currentless waters of the gulf 1880
square miles of new land has been
built and every sixteen yenrs this
land reaches out one mile further into
the Gulf of Mexico.
In building dams to prevent soil
erosion they should he constructed
With a downstream curvature that will
direct the water toward the center.
This will help prevent the water
from cutting around the sides of the
dam. The center, as shown In the
Illustration, should also be lower than
the wings for the same reason. Tiles
or other openings should be made for
the passage of the water so that II
will not back up until II can overflow
the top. A spiIlway should be built
On the downstream side 30 that the
falling water will not undermine the
structure. Concrete buttresses win
strengthen II against the great pres
sure that will be exerted against il.
The concrete walls should extend six
or more feet into the banks on either
side and four feet below the bottom
of the ditch. A mixture Of the propor
tions of one sack Of portland cement
to two cubic feet OF sand to three
cubic feet or gravel or crushed stone
Is recommended.

Tie systematic drive for the eradl
cation Of cattle-fever ticks in the
South is to a large degree responsible
for the development of a prosperous
livestock industry, for which the
South is well suited.
Recent reports to the United States

Gus sections of the South show that
dairyihg Is fast becoming a permanent
and profitable industry there. South
Carolina reports that the small farm
erS are finding a good source of reve-
uue In the dairy business. One cream
cry alone is paying the farmers an
average of $3.50 daily for cream
Mississippi likewise is becoming a
dairy state. A few years ago there
was an inadequate milk supply for
local consumption in some Mississippi
cities, and milk had to be shipped in
from other states.
Through systematic dipping, cattle
ticks have been largely e~radicated. In
regions entirely free from ticks herds
of well-bred dairy cattle are now
found and are meeting the local de-
mand for milk and dairy products. In
fact, considerable quantities of milk
are shipped to New Orleans and other
distant markets.
Southern dairymen are also showing
a keen interest in livestock improve
ment. Many are breeding common
herds up to h~igh-grade stock by using
pure-bred bulls. Various educational
and commercial agencies are encour-
aging and assisting in the establish
ment of high-class diaries.

Truth is stranger than fiction

Helen Cole, graduate of California
University and prominent in New
York and California society, was a
guest at New Jersey house-party
over the Memorial Day weekend. Dis
cussion at dinner of a recent novel
wherein a young couple had been
thrown into Canadian wilds and forced
to exc out subsistence without weap-
ons or equipment, brought forth the
statement from Miss Cole that it was
possible "and that she could do it,
A guest laughed at her.
That night Miss Cole disappeared
leaving a note that she had gone
to catch a rabbit Charles Carter,
another guest and also a graduate of
California University also disappeared
He had gone with Miss Cole to protect
her in her test
The host and hostess, alarmed at
the situation sent out call for help.
The summer home from which they
disappeared is located at the foothills
of the Orange mountains For two
days and two nights searching parties
searched the hills and woodlands.
A state Inspector of watersheds
came upon them by chance the even

The girls silk evening gown, stock
ings and silk slippers were torn to
shreds. They had had nothing to eat
for three days. They were mudcaked
