Important Question Right Now Be
cause Pest Is More Troublesome
In Winter Than 8Ummcr.
(By It. C. ABltDY, University Farm, St
Paul. Minn.)
It has been estimated that a 150
pound hog has 92,000 drops of blood.
Suppose ho Is supporting 1,000 lice
and each takos ono drop of blood por
day. What por cent of his blood will
bo lost dally, and who will pay tho
biU7
Tho question Is Important right now,
for Hco nro worse In winter than In
summer. Tho hogs pile up closely and
spend much tlmo In their I0U3. Tho
lice tako advantage of tho situation and
breed rapidly.
To removo the Hce la neither dim
cult nor expensive Dipping or spray
ing with coal-tar compounds is danger
ous In winter, but thrco other treat
ments aro available. Theso are:
1. Equal part's kerosene and machine
oil mixed together and applied with
an oil can, brush or swab. ,
2. Crudo oil (thinned with kerosene,
If too thick), applied with a brush or
as a spray.
S. Powdered staphlsagria dusted on
the pigs, or otpopod as a tea and .ap-.
piled with a brush or as a spray.
For a small bunch the first treat
ment is thomost convenient, but when
I ono hns many hogs tho crndo oil is
! cheaper. Bo suro to apply behind tho
cars and In both flanks. Tho lice pre
fer folds of tho skin.
Clean tho bods and pens thoroughly,
also. If theEO aro thoroughly sprayed
with tho oil, there should bo no fur
ther trouble from tho lice. If tho hogs
Bleep In straw sheds, one can keep
them frco from lice by treating them
every two weeks. Try it!
FEED BINS MADE CONVENIENT

Handy feed bins can bo built be

Tho spout may bo made to empty into

GOOD HINTS ABOUT GUINEAS
Hard to Estimate Number of Eggs
Females Lay on Account of Their
Habit of Hiding Nests.
The guineas are good layers, but
owing to their skill In hiding their
nests and their habit of changing their
nest if it Is disturbed, It Is hard to
say how many eggs they will lay, pos
sibly CO to 100. Guineas aro inclined
to bo monogamous; that is, to have
but ono mate, but a malo will mate
with two females. Poor hatches usu
ally result If moro females aro placed
with a male.
Young guineas are fed like young
turkeys, with curds, bread and milk
or boiled eggs and bread crumbs tho
first week, always mixing onco a day
with sand, and for overy meal mak
ing one-third of the meal green food,
chopped onion or dandelion tops.
Flnoly chopped lettuco is good when'
plentiful. Unless they have a good
run they should have plowed fields
to roam over; this Is not necessary.
When they aro large enough to bo
given 'frco range they will pick up
most of their living, but should al
ways bo fed at night, to glvo them tho
lublt of returning home.
Meat Food Pays Well.
It costs less to feed a pullet that
is getting no meat scrap or skim milk,
but It costs moro to produco a dozen
eggs from her she lays so many less
when deprived of meat food.
Geese and Ducks.
Geese cannot bo proiltably hatched
and reared artificially, while Incuba
tors and brooders have revolutionized
tho duck business.

FEED FOR FATTENING STEERS
Result of Interesting Experiment at
South Dakota Station With Si
lage and Mill Products.
Tho South Dakota station reports a
test made In which three lots of year
ling steers of four head each woro fed
during a 145-day feeding period, each
lot receiving all tho silage tho stocra
would cat and 12 pounds of a by-product,
this being for lot ono oil meal,
lot two cotton seed moal, and lot
threo dried distillers' grains. Tho av
erago dally galus per head wero 2.45,
1.95, and 2.17 pounds, respectively;
and during tho first ninety days 2.C9,
2.08, and 2.48 pounds. Tho estimated
cost per pound of gain was 5.86, C.44,
and 5.5 cents.
In two other lots grain was substi
tuted for ono-half, by weight, of tho
silage fed In tho former lots, lot four
rocolvlng oats and lot flvo, corn. Tho
former lot made avorago dally gains
of 2.18 pounds por head, tho latter
2.09, and during tho first ninety days
2.3 and 2,01 pounds, respectively, cost
ing C.88 and S.23 cents per pound of
gain. Tho avorago amount of gain for
tho llC-day foodlng period was as fol
lows: Lot ono, 19.7 pounds of Bllngo
aud 1.2 pounds of oil meal; lot two,
21.2 pounds of silage and 1.5 pounds
of cotton scod meal; lot threo, 20.3
pounds of sllago and 1.3 pounds of
dried distilled grains; lot four, 10.9
pounds of sllago and 4.7 pounds of
oats; and lot flvo, ll.G pounds of sl
lago and 5.9 pounds of shelled corn.
Danger With Alfalfa.
Avoid letting horse overfeed on
alfalfa hay, as there Is danger of
causing kidnoy trouble. A rulo that
has been followed successfully In food
lug alfalfa hay Is to glvo ono pound of
hay for every 100 pounds of horse
weight.
