RAW LINSEED OIL is
BEST TO KILL LICE

The little red lice or biting lice of
cattle are common to young and ma
ture animals alike. They do not suck
the blood OF the host but feed upon
loose scales Of the skin and portions
Of the hair. Their multiplication is
favored more by the dry, scaly skin
of the COW than by any other condi-
tion. They are smaller than either Of
the other kinds and are red in color.
but can be seen with the naked eye
The eggs of the red louise hatch
In five to seven days and il takes about
fourteen days for the young lice to
mature aud begin laying eggs. The
red lice are more active and move
about from place to place on the host.
None Of the lice can live any length
Of time away from the host. But
their eggs are carried by means Of
loose hairs from animal to animal.
This is the most probable manner Of

spreading infestation and the hardest
to control. 1t is practically impOs-
sible to disinfect all objects that are
capable of transmitting the loose hairs.
Especially is this true where the cat
tie have the run of pasture and yard.
Whitewash can be used effectively
around buildings.
Effective control measures must be
directed against the lice during the
period after they are Matched from
the eggs and before they mature and
start the egg-laying process. ANY sub
stance that will destroy the eggs will
be injurious TO the skin of the animal.
Any substance that is poisonous to
the COW should not be used.
The most lasting control depends
upon killing the lice and putting the
hide of the animal in the condition
that will be unfavorable for the
growth and development of the lice.
For this purpose raw linseed oil has
given most satisfactory results in the
experiments made at the Connecticut
experiment station. Linseed oil has
been used for years by many dairy
men, but its use was not general.
The raw oil is not poisonous. Only
a small amount is required for each
COW, one pint being sufficient TO treat
four or FIVE cows. 1t is not injurious
to the hide of the animal but will kill
the lice.
The raw linseed oil may be supplied
with a stiff brush when the cows are
being cleaned or groomed. Treat
ment should begin in the fall and
early winter before the lice become
numerous. The second application of
the oil should be made in u to Is
days. All of the three kinds of lice
will have had time TO hatch from the
eggs during the interval but will not
have had time to mature and in turn
lay eggs. The second treatment should
be followed by an application of the
oil every 80 days during the winter
and early spring in order 10 keep the
lice under control. 1t is practically
to permanently rid an Ed
tire herd of cattle of lice.
The boiled linseed oil is not recon-
mended because there is more danger
of its blistering the hide. When using
the raw oil. precauticn should be used
not to rub the hide too strenuously
when applying as burns may result
Strong sunlight will sometimes cause
burns also.

Necessary to Air Eggs
During Matching Period

All experienced incubator operators
know the necessity of airing eggs, but
some fail to understand why. Yet we
know that the chick inside the shell
Is a living, growing thing and that 1t
needs fresh air, change of conditions
and exercise in order that it may ex-
pand, move and develop its strength.
Airing eggs has another merit. The
shells expand and contract with heat
the use of machinists' callipers, one
may discover an appreciate differ
ence In expansion of eggs under 60
degrees and over 100. Frequent ex-
pansion and contraction of the shell
is believed to break down flbers and
make the shell brittle. so that chicks
due to hatch can get out of shells
with less exhaustion.
This matter of airing eggs during
incubation requires judgment and
should be guided by development Of
chicks. temperature of room, etc. II
we watch sitting hens. we will find
that eggs seemingly need very little
airing the first week of incubation,
trifie more the second, and still more
the third week when the vitality of
chicks has added to the warmth Of
the eggs.
1t is never safe TO forget that chicks
are dependent upon air that perco-
lates through the porous shell. Cool
ing eggs shrinks the air-hubbles and
sets up a suction which draws In
fresh air TO purify the interior stale
air.

CoLCATE'S PROSPECT is
BRIGHT FOR FOOTBALL

HAMILTON, N. Y. Dec. 5.-Pros.
poets for 1925 are fairly bright at
Colgate. Willard Morgan, quarter
back, is the only backfield man who
will be lost by graduation. On the
line Captain Saville Crowther, his
brother Ray, Dewey Hynes and
Stratton, sub end, will be lost, but
Beuthel Bray, tackle; Strack, guard;
DeGrossa, center, and Levonsin, an
end, will be back.
With this neucleus for the forward
wall, and with Mehler, Schmidt, Sey-
bold and Hellwig, substitute quartep,
in the backfield, in addition to Tryon
and the frosh of this year, Coach
Dick Harlow should turn out a real
strong team.
Graduate Manager William A.
Reid is working steadily on the
schedule, which so far includes
games with Princeton, Brown and
Syracuse. He declared today he
did not believe Coach Harlow was
contemplating any changes in his
coaching staff. Dick Rauch is now
assistant, with Kendall Edkins frosh

With an organized freshmen elev-
en- for the first time in college
history, Coach Harlow expects some
promising varsity material for next

JACOBSON HAD
WORK CUT OUT !.
FOR Him
Forced to Beat Marks Of
Games Greatest
outfieIders

In creating a new outfield record,
both for total putouts and total
chances, Bill Jacobson, st. Louis
Brown outfielder. was forced to
beat the marks established by some
Of the really great center fielders
OF the past.
1t is interesting to note how this
outfield record for total chances
has scared in the last eight years.
Much was made OF iris Speakers
record in 1914, when he handled 456
chances for the Red Sox. smashing
both the major and American
League records. IT then was said
that only an outfielder with Speak
er's greyhound speed could handle
that many chances in a 154-game
season.
Speakers record stood only tnrea
years. In 1917 Felsch beat it in the
American League with aga chances,
and in the same season Max Carey,
of the Pittsburgh Pirates, established
a new major league record with
468 chances.
Carey's mark also endured three
years. 1t was broken in 1920, when
Sam Rice. then playing center field
for Washington, caught 454 flies
and was credited with twentysfour
assists for q total OF 47S chances,
beating Carey's mark by ten.
And now Jacobson, a real veteran,
smashes Rice's mark and hangs up
a total Of 496 chances, 43S Of them
being putouts. Baby Dolr' has
left Speakers mark OF 1914 far be-
hind. The next time this mark ie
shattered the outfielder probably
will reach the 500 mark. -.
Jacobson's new fielding mark Is
not the result Of a freak. The big
Swede really covers great area OF
ground. and he is one of the lead
ing center fielders in the game.
jacobson is a deceptive player. In
that respect he is not unlike old;
Hans Wagner Honus looked
clumsy. but little ever got by him,
Jacobson is a player of that type.
Though big, he is fast, has the
real outfielder's knack of judging
fly ball, and he is a sure catch.
Jacobson originally came up with
the Giants. McGraw carried him
for several years on options, and
he made two training trips to Mar
lin. Later he came UP with Detroit,
and the Tigers released him to st.
Louis. 1t was in the Mound City
that the big fellow found himself.
