EFFECTIVE REMEDY FOR LICE
Important Question Right Now Be
cause Pest Is More Troublesome
In Winter Than Summer.
By R. C. ARHRV. I'nlverslty Farm, St.

It has been estimated tbat a 150
pound hog has 92,000 drops of blood.
Suppose he la supporting 1,000 lice
and each takes one drop of blood per

be lost daily, and who will pay the
Mttf
The question is Important right now,
for lice are worse in winter than In
lammer. Tbe hogs pile up closely and
pend much time In their beds. The
lice take advantage of the situation and
breed rapidly.
To remove the lice ia naltber diffi
cult nor expensive. Dipping or spray
ing with coal-tar compounda la danger
ous In winter, but three other treats
inents nro available. These are:
1. Equal partn keroscno and machine
oil mixed together and applied with
an oil can, brush or awab.
2. Crude oil (thinned with kerosene.
It too thick), applied with a brush or
aa spray.
S. Powdered stapbisagria dusted on
the pi kb. or steeped as a tea and ap
plied with a brush or as a spray.
For a small bunch the first treat
ment is tbe most convenient, but when
one has many hogs the crude oil Is
cheaper. Be sure to apply behind tbe
oars and in both flanks. The lice pro
far folds of the skin.
Clean the beds and pens thoroughly,
also. If these are thoroughly sprayed
with tbe oil, there should be no fur
ther trouble from the lice. It the hoga

FEED FOR FATTENING STEERS
SOWING RAPE IN CORNFIELD
Dwarf Kaeejc Rape Broadcasted After
Final Cultivation Beat Adapted
for Sheep Pasture.
As a feedfag proposition there Is
none that givea better profits, consid
ering the amount of capital Invested,
than fattening sheep In the cornfield
where rape tins been sowed at the last
cultivation of the corn. The sheep
may be tonight early, and pastured or
fed earlier soiling crops until the rnpe
Is fit for them to be turned Into the
cornfield. The Dwsrf Kssex rape ia
the variety best adapted for sheep pas
ture. About five or six pounds at seed
will afford an excellent stand. If sowed
broadcast after the final cultivation of
the corn crop, providing that the con
ditions are favorable for an eurly ger
mination of the seed.
Practically no damage will result to
the corn crop; the sheep will con
sume a large percentage of the lower
leaves and lodged stalks. Old breed
ing ewes tbat have passed their ma
ternity usefulness, can always be
hought at prices which make them
profitable to turn Into a rape and corn
field. Yearling wethers mny be fat
tened In the same wny. No grain foods
will be required. Rape alone will pro
duce enough Increase to Insure a good
profit. By growing rape with the corn
crop, and pasturing it with sheep, an
Intelligent flock owner may greatly
increase his Income from his corn
crops.
RING WORM IS EASILY CURED
Onlverslty Expert Favors Iodine and
Acetic Acid Treatment for Re
moval of Trouble.
(By M. H. REYNOLDS. University Harm,
St Paul.)
Ring worm appears most commonly
In cattle as a round, slightly raised,
bald patch, being seen especially about
the head and neck of a calf or year
ling. Older cattle, other animals and
men are subject to tbe trouble. It is
caused by minute vegetable parasites
which grow under the skin, something
like mildew In a grape leaf.
Ring worm can be rather easily
cured by giving the spots good
scrubbing with soft soap and water,
then treating them once each day with
equal parts of tincture of iodine and
glacial acetic add. The treatment
may be continued for several days,
as appears necessary.

finable disease, unfer the present
quarantine regulatlona of the state
board of health."
Making influenza a quarantinable
disease , if adopted by local boards rf
health or by the state board, will
mean that when persons are quaran
tined they must remain a certain
number of days in the p. ce where
quarantine Is established. Those in
the place who ure not sick will either
be allowed to go out or stay in, but
they must do one or the other. Ex
posed persons will probably have to
remain with the sick person. Persons
who have the disease may be treated
as immune and may be allowed to go
out. Just what quarantine means
will soon be definitely known.
Here are what the state board of
health rules say of quarantine for
scarlet fever, and some similar rule3
will have to be worked out by the
sMie board for influenza.
Quarantine: For contracts, seven
days.
For those with the disease. Thro?
weeks and as much longer there
after as is necessary for the patient
to become thoroly cleared .
Period of Incubation: Seven days
Period of communicabillty: Twen
ty one days from the appearance of
the eruption without regard to des
qumatlon, and as much longer there
after as necessary for the patient to
abnormal discharges to have stopped
and all open sores to havp healed.
Source of infection: fltye belief at
present is that the viral is contained
in the secretion from this nose and
throat, in the blood and lit the lymph
nodes, and that it ir, lven off in the
discharges from the mouth, the nose
the ears, and from broken down
glands of infected persons).
Mode of transmission: Directly by
personal contact with an iifected per.
son, or thru contamingfcsjs milk.
Methods of control! (a) The in
fected individual and,' Ms environ
ment: 1. Recognition of the disease,
by clinical symptoms, 1 Concurrent
disinfection, of all articles which
ffffto
have been in contact with a paUent
and all articles soiled with dischargee
of the patient (See rules and result
Hons, "Disinfection concurrent disin
fection.") 3. Terminal disinfection Bee
rules and regulations section "Dis

(b) General measures:
1. Dally examination of exposed
children and of other possibly expos
ed persons for a few after last expos

of exposing young children to those
exhibiting acute catarrhal symptoms

3. Pasteurisation of milk supply.
