Louisiana's sweet pota to crop for this ytar is estimated to be 5.000.000 bushels, and «towers would do weil to talc* precautions against undue losâea through careless handling. Some of the things to be observed are as follows : 1. Potatoes should be thoroughly , mature before bring harvested. 1 2. They should be handled carcful ; |y to prevent bruises, as such places ! cause rot very quickly, j 3. Injured potatoes should not be stored with sound ones. 4. The potatoes should be sub jected to a temperature of 85 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit as soon as they tent reduced to 10 per cent or less. 5 . Potatoes should be stored In a veil built house, where the temper ature can be kept uniform. This will save a large per cent of aP good sound potatoes, while the old bank method usually causes a loss of 23 to 50 per cent. Old tenant houses can often be utilised for that purpose. . \ I j | I j j I j j DISPOSE OF THE UNPROFITABLE HEN Culling Should Be Done Frequently and Thoroughly. After hens reach a certain «ge, de-' pending upon the way th*y have bnea handled, they can no longer pro duce egge profitably. Those which lire forced for heavy egg production by fhe ! liberal use of stimulants will; roach pits stage quicker than the oth 1 ers. Whenever this stage is reached the nena should be marketed as soon aa paesible. A pretty safe rule to follow with ♦he average flocks which have not been treated with stimulants is ue follows: Dispose of heas of the light, active breeds, such as Leghorns and j active breeds, such as Leghorns and ; Ancona«, as soon as they have passed ; through their th * r ^ laying season; ; j dispose of ail the medium weignt ; blde^?. such as Plymouth Rocks, . (Rhede Isias? Rfi ds, Wyandotte« and > ; Drpignton? as M tbff have pas.^ i led through two laying aeas-ons. A* j ( fhe «amc time, discard al! yôtmçyr bens which have baggy abdomens, .which baYe a tendency to nUty over r 'Xat, or jrhich lack health or vigor 1« any way. The cullin* should be done fre. guently and thoroughly. It rarerly pays to hold an old or a w-?ak bird 1 for a better market. The quicker I they are sold the better. The average Hock should be thoroughly culled at Jeast once a month. Such practice rill not materially reduce the output I fif the flock, but, on the other hand, 1 will greatly increase the profits by reducing the required amount of high priced feed and labor.—A. F.

H. Dairym ple, of tiie Department of Veterinary Science, Louisiana State University : Why lb it necessary to dip cattlé every 14 day6 during the ueasên tq get rid Of the ticks? Answer. During tfa' warm season of the year, the average time requir ed fay the tick to develop, troiu the small larval or seed tick, after at taching to cattle, until ihe large fe male tick matures ai.d dror« to the ground to lay her eqg, is about days. Rut whU? 22 days may be the average, many ticks mature earlier than that time. Consequently it has been found that the 21-day dipping period? do not catch the earlier-ma turing ticks, which drop off and keep on making more tick?, thereby delay ing the final results. On the other hand, by dipping cattle every 14 days, all of the ticks that become attached to them in the intervals are killed, because none of them mature and drop off before 14 days. Hew ha« this information been ob tained? Answer. It has been observed ny those engaged In the work of tick eradication that, towards the end ot the season, ur,de,r the 21-day method, there ' always s number of cattle, r.r bet 1s, still remaining tick le tested. While with 14 day dipping there may be nr ?, or only very few, with ticks : on them. Then the dipping periods are bosed j j upen the time required for the ticks i . , 1 1 ( I ! j ] j ' to develop on tho cattle and fall off? ! Answer. Precisely ?o. The adop ■ tion of the 14 day periods is to do ! rtroy all of the ticks that have bo , come attached to the cattle ln the in tervals between dippings, without any of them haring dropped off. I Hew long, relatively, will It take to clttn a pr.rieh, cr eectlon, of ticks un* £>i the 14-day and 21-day dipping po : r ? Answer. With the full co-op*rt tion of everyone interested, the licks may be cleaned up in one season un d'r the 14 day periods; while under the 2> dry periods it may take two or three or more seasons, as has been the esse in a number of parishes. | Do ticke have any effect on milk production?
