FIGHTING LICE ON HOGS. aw ta K.. Ike laaceta la SaaJ.c tiaa 1 a Problem That la Pua allaat Hear Faratcra. Ever since wa began raising hogs the hog louse haa given trouble more or less generally more. It is one of the drawbacks to successful hog -. 11.. . v.. i : ...u l o " v i' v Jection if the pigs are to do their best. rv- . , . , j I The average farmer has more to do , . , i than can be looked after properly, 1 .1.:. i. i .. ... v 71 . . and this I. one of the things that .. apt to be neglected, There . are many , preparat.on. that will kill every ouae it touches and it .s no great ask to apply them. But we should bear in mind that when the herd is once infested with them the uita are hatching all the time, and one or two applications do but little good. The fight must be kept up for weeks, sometimes months, and there must be a careful watch for them always. It is important to know what will kill hog live, but it is far more important HOQ LOUIS: HIGHLY MAGNIFIED. at stated times, until the pigs are clean and thrifty. Then do not think the erd will be free from the pest for a term of months or rears, but keeP a constant watch nnd be ready to hegm another war on them. I have used coal oil, kerosene emul sion, decoction of tobacco, carbolic aaid and some of the "Kheep dips," nnd know that all of them are sure death to the lice when properly mixed and vigorously applied. For cheap ness and effectiveness the kerosene emulsion is preferred above all the other.. I have applied all thesi-, rubbing on with cloth or sponge, by spraying with a bucket pump and with the knapsack sprayer. A very thorough job may be done by washing with a sponge, but this is not practical in the case of hogs being grown for mar ket, and these are the ones that P'"n erally need treatment oftenest. The bucket pump cannot be shifted about the pens readily enough to be of any great value. It seems to me that there is but one best, practical way to npply these washes, and that Is with the knap sack sprayer. With It, the work can be done so easily snd perfectly that T have come to regard It as an abso lute necessity on the hog farm. We have had one of the best for several years, which cost $6.50, and if a new one had to be bought every second year, I should consider the money well spent. In spraying hogs it is not best to do the work while they are merely eating slop or other feed. Thorough work cannot be done in this way. The hiss of the nozzle and the spray striking them will scare the most hoggish hog away. The better way is to get the hogs in a close pen, get the mixture in the tank, get the tank on your back and get yourself over in the pen. Try to remember that the mixture costs but a trifle, and don't save it. fipray them until every hog is dripping wet all over, and there will be no lice in that bunch for a few days. Then repeat the proc ess. It is but little trouble, costR but a few cents, and will pay better than any other way that amount of money and time can be spent. Ohio Farmer. Nest Summer' Ho Paature. Hog raisers should be looking for ward to the hog pasture for next yeur and preparing for it. It often takes as much time to plan successfully as to exerute successfully, hence we cannot begin too early to plan for the new campaign. It is a mistake to suppose that any one kind of grass or plant will serve as a hog pasture all through the year. A number of forage plants should be available. The first of these is blue grass, which comes in in the spring and will carry the hogs forward to the time the young clover is high enough to eat. When the clover gets too old to be sTiecuJent, there should be a field of rape available, and after that may come cow peaa in sections where cow peaa can be grown. Farm era' Review.

There are a good many things that we can learn from the Danes, and among them we might name readiness to adapt ourselves to new circum stances. When about 40 years ugo the Danes turned to butter producing from grain and stock raising they found it necessary to create a way to dispose of the by-products of their dairies. Naturally the way out was found in the hog. Rut the native hog was not just the kind of an animal that would make the most out of hia food, and ao they Imported a better hog urti,.i on .i i . i. ... ... . ... ; . ZZV. gated this better hog thev found that c. u. , J ', , , he had been created partly bv an in- ,..i i , .'j m fusion of blood from imported Kng- llfth Q So the I)aneWMlt to , . u Knglish hogs to be used with fneir wn of th, im. ported hog. were Berkshire, and acme e whKat arp known Mjdd,e wi,li.- !, u ...i k. a l. half of the boars in use In Hen murk were of Knirlish origin. Most of the bacon hnd been eonsninird by the Danes or by the German, but by isso the Knglish had begun to appreciate the high quality of Danish bacon. The Knglish public, however, demanded a longer snde than the Danish and Kng lish cross gave nnd the Danes took the hint and began to Import what is known in England as the "IiiR-e White." It was a wise move on the part of the Danish farmers, and in even or eight years England hnd be come the largest buyer of Danish bacon. At the present time the Da i s are endeavoring to develop n fixed breed out of their mixed herds nnd propose to nail it the "nntive" breed. They will doubtless succeed In thia, but if they try to get their breed and themselves into n stnte of eternal fixedness they may awake si me morn ing to find that the bacon n arUet lins slipped out of their grasp, The no- lions that govern market demands I change and the producer must always be ready to change with them. Farm ers' Review, STOPPING RUNAWAYS. tu iple l.lttle Invention Thnt la Snlil to tilv. Abaoluta Safety In Driving a llorae. An invention which is said to give absolute safety in driving u horse is being tried by road drivers. It is claimed it will stop any horse that shows an inclination to run away. The contrivance is very simple. It is a single rein, with buckle attach ments, as shown at the left of the engraving. It is buckled under the crown piece of the bridle at a by the DEVICE FOR RUNAWAY IIORSBS two buckles shown; the rein is brought under the horse's .lnout nt b, and through a drop ring; to the left side, passing through the terret on the saddle to the wagon. In case the horse starts to run, the driver pulls the rein tightly, which, drawing across the horse' throat, prevent, him from breathing and compels him to stop. It will tit any harness and i. just as effective when the bit breaks as when the horse sturts to runaway. Or;i ige .hiild Farmer. ! : .lid I i lews i TIMELY STOCK NO S.

Pigs farrowed in the fall must hnve better care than those farrowed in the spring, and unless this better care is given them they will give little if any profit. Some breeders say that it is better to give the pigs away out right than to keep them on a starva tion diet. A stunted pig will seldom if ever develop growing power. The fall pig must have warm, dry quar ters, and unless the pigs are kept warm it will be found about Impossible to induce any growth.

Probably the last work of his pen was the following answer to the question: "The most successful man who is he?" "A man who has made the most of his opportunttiea, and who, in ad dition, has cultivated every faculty with which he is endowed, has won success. It is the duty of everyone to make the greatest possible prog ress and to become as perfectly de- veloped as ability permits.

He is sure to come out better able to dike his place in the world's work, nnd all his talents will be of greater use tliini if he had no train ing. I nm afraid there arc few men who can say that they have made the most of their talents. If there are any, they should consider them selves successful, because they have mudc the most of what they had. We see the parable of the talents lived over again every day, and the result i. usually the Mine. The man who makes the most of what he has is the winner in this or any similur compe tition." A New York girl fell downstairs and broke her knee-cap a few duys ugo and she lays the accident to the high French heels she wore. "I wore them," she says, reports an exchnnge of that city, "simply because they were stylish. They are very uncom fortable and hurt my feet when I walk. It is very difficult to walk without slipping when the sharp edge tins been worn off a little. If I ever get out of this I shall never let the follies of style run away with my better judgment again." It is that concluding assertion which throws a doubt upon the whole story.

While the total value of the gold pro duced in the United States in the year 1890 was $71,000,000, Oar Mineral that sum represents ttraitb. but a comparatively small art of the value of all the inin- i eral products of this country, Bay a mining authority. The coal, 4 tie iron end the copper that were mined in that year each far exceeded in value the gold that was taken from American mines. The eiral mined in the United States In 1HU9 was worth $256,000,000; the total o ft put of the iron w as worth $245,0(XJ,OOC, and the Value of the year's copper output wus $1M,HI),0K). The value of the silver and petroleum taken from the earth in this countty in the ! same year fell but a little behind the value of the gold. The silver amounted to $70,000,000 and the petroleum to $04,000,000. The total value of this country's mineral products in 1S09 was $976,000,000. The value of this year's mineral product will be a billion dol lars or more. In 1890 the value of the mineral output was $619,000,000; in 1880 it wa. but $369,000,000. It is expected that this country's total wealth in 1900 will be shown when the statistic, re lating to it are published in the near future, to be $90,000,000,000 or more. A proper idea of the vast ness of that sum cannot be adequately conveyed by means of either figures or words. The human mind fails to grasp the lm menelty of ninety timea a thousand millions.
