Red Indian Chosen

Ludger Bastein, member of the
Huron tribe and the first Indian to be
elected to the Quebec legislature, won
the by-election for the conservatives
in Quebec county by defeating the Lib
eral candidate, E. Bedard, whose party
has been 81 years in power in the an
Client capital, says the Christian
Science Monitor.
Mr.. Bastein's father was head chief
of all the Hurons of Canada for a term
of Office. He himself is a man of
wealth. He operates a large tannery
business at Lorette, a well-known In
dian settlement. Some years ago when
the city Of Quebec interfered with the
water supply of his tanneries he car
ried legal action for damages TO the
privy council and Won an award of

Pest of Worms Demands
Attention for Control

One serious enemy of the sheep is
the stomach worm found in many pas
lures
More than one breeder has had to
90 out of sheep because they did not
do well on his pastures and were
| troubled with worms. With sheep, as
| at present one of the most valuable
animals on the farm, this pest of
worms demands attention, for they
can be controlled. For the removal
of these pests. the copper sulphate
(bIuestone or blue vitriol) treatment
has proved effective in tests made on
infested fiocks. Two ounces of fresh
ly powdered crystals of copper sui
plate are thoroughly dissolved in one
gallon of water and administered as
follows: For a lamb three months
old, two-thirds fluid ounce or 20 c.;
for lamb six months old twice this
amount; for a sheep one year old two
fluid ounces or 60 &C, and for sheep
two years old or over three fluid
ounces. The solution should be pre-
pared in a glass, wooden or earthen-
ware vessel and must be kept thor
oughly mixed while in use. 1t is i'm
portant that the dose be accurately
measured, using a glass graduate or
graduated drenching bottle.
In tests made at experiment stations
SO per cent of the stomach worms have
been removed by treatment. However,
in order that it may be effective, d.
rections must be followed carefully
and the sheep and lambs kept away
from feed and water for IS hours be-
fore and six hours after treatment.
The experiments also show that rota-
ton of pastures aids materially in re-
ducing infestation.

NE
MANAGEMENT OF SOW
TO GET TWO LITTERS

To yield the greatest profit a brood
In the northern states where the win
tiers are severe, most farmers only
get one litter Of pigs from rheir sows
year and that is the spring litter.
But in the South where the winters
are mild, the sows should be SO man
aged as to produce two litters year.
The sows should be bred so that they
will farrow in the spring, and in the
fall when the weather is not too hot
nor too cold. The early fall pigs will
get a start before the cold weather
sets in, and the spring pigs before
the weather becomes hot.
The history of one year of a sow's
life should show approximately the
following record, according to a L..
Durant, assistant animal husbandman
at Clemson college.
Breed for spring ntter-No,emb

CESSATION period-November 10

Farrow-March l.
Suckle pigs-March Inlay s.

Farrow-September 1.
Suckle pigs-September 1-Novem-

Wean pigs-November s.
By following this outline as nearly
as possible and breeding all of his
sows about the same time. Mr.. Durant
explains, that the farmer will have his
sows farrow within a short period of
time. and he will thus be able to care
for all of his sows and filters with
only little greater time and labor
than would be needed for few sows.
Then. too, his pigs will be Of uniform
age and size. and will be ready for
the market at about the same time.
The base dates of hogs at the swine
shows are March 1 and September I,
and the pigs narrowed nearest these
dates will have greatest age and size
and will show to best advantage.
This factor should also be considered
by the hog men who intend TO show
at the fairs

Tankage Will Save Much
Grain in Finishing HogE

Tankage is one of the best protein
supplements available in many cases
for fattening hogs. Comparing the
fattening of hogs on grain without
tankage with the addition Of tankage
to the grain. it has been established
that tankage will save a considerable
amount of grain and the hogs will be
ready for market much quicker than
without such a protein feed as tank
age.
The proportion of tankage to allow
depends upor the kind of grain and
the age of the pigs. However, for
fattening hogs from to s per cent
of the ration as tankage is usually suf
ficient. A good way TO handle the
feeding is to self-feed both the
grain and tankage. Ii is not econom-
lcal however. to selffeed tankage If
the grain is limited in amount.
