Isuedby the University of Nebraska College of Agriculture. A FOURTH WITHOUT FIREWORKS Seward county had a new kind of a Fourth of July this year a cele bration in which fireworks, cannon crackers, and burned powder played little part. More than 800 farmers and farmers' wives in 125 autoes took part in a monster Agricultural Tour of the county, looking ovei the best farms and farm homes. This tour was arranged jointly by C. W. Smith, county agricultural agent, and Miss Esther Warner, county home demonstration agent. All of the towns of the county gave up their usual celebrations and turn ed their attention to making the tour a success, with no counter at tractions elsewhere. Things of the farm and of the kitchen were discuss ed by speakers on the trip. A patriotic address at noon and a patriot program in the evening gave the affair the color necessarv to make it distinctly an Independence Day affair as well as an instructional event. PICKLING PORK Hogs injured in accidents in sum mer may be saved for food by pick ling them in brine. If the weather is hot and there is no artificial means of cooling the carcass, kill the hog and dress at once. Cut the carcass immediately into the usual cuts, and let it stand over night in some cool, airy palce, preferably outdoors, bone out hams and shoulders and split the larger cuts flatwise into two pieces each. Pack in a clean hardwood barrel or earthern con tainer. Pour over the meat a pickle made by boiling the following ingre diants the night before: 2 ounces saltpeter and 10 pounds salt to 5 gallons of water, an amount suffi cient for 100 pounds of meat. The barrel should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated place, preferably where an even temperature prevails. Start using the meat at once. In cose the brine spoils, wash the bar rel and meat, scald the barrel, and apply new brine. RAPE FOR FALL, HOG AND SHEEP FEED RatTfe" planted in the' corn at the time corn is "laid by" will make an excellent forage for hogs and sheep in the fall, according to the animal husbandry section of the Ne braska Experiment Station. This will give an extra crop from corn ground without injuring the corn, as the rape makes its growth after the corn is well on its way to ma turity. Rape contains a high per cent of protein, and consequently makes an excellent supplement to corn. In Lincoln it often stays green as late as Thanksgiving. In case it is not used as feed, it may be used as a soiling crop by plowing, it under in the fall. It may be sown in the cornfield broadcast, H to 3 pounds to an acre. Seed retails at about 15 cents a pound in small quantities. WILL PURCHASE EWES Arrangements have been made by the animal husbandry department of the University of Nebraska for the purchase of breeding ewes for farm ers of the state. PI. L. Stephens, an old sheepman of Gibbon, left re cently for the range states in search of breeding ewes. He offered to help locate ewes for Nebraska farm ers in case he is able to find breeding stuff worth the price asked. Any sheepman interested may write James Haug, Shelton, Neb,, or the Animal Husbandry Department, University of Nebraska, University Farm, Lincoln. VACCINATE HOGS AND CALVES "This is no year in which to take chances: vaccinate your hogs for cholera and your calves for black leg." This is the advice of the de partment of animal pathology of the University of Nebraska. Meat is so high that no stockman can afford not to take out insurance vaccina tion affords. Vaccine used for blackleg is supplied by the govern ment thru the Department of Ani mal Pathology, University Farm, Lincoln.

A county agricultural auto tour will be made in this ennntv TiV?i?nv July 20th. All members of the fam ily should be interested In this trip in which eiirht nr nirm fnrmq nro. senting objects of special interest win De visited. Studies of some of best live stock, farm equipments and buildings, silos, pastures and home conveniences will bo made. A pic nic dinner and two addresses by Ex tension workers frorn, Lincoln will be features of the noon hour. Watch for the schedule and prepare to go. The sowing of two or three pounds of rape in the corn field at the last cultivating should prove profitable, especially in corn that is to be hog ged down, or fields that are to be gathered early and sheip or hogs al lowed the range before severe weather comes. Some are reporting that they are unable to secure arsenate of lead or Paris green for poisoning bugs. This office will do all it can to assist those who can not secure it else where. Just at this time a great many pigs are found to be badly infected with worms. Worms are the fore runners of many diseases and espe cially cholera, because of their breaking down the system. Some of our farmers contemplate vacci nating their hogs in the near future. These should be examined for worms and lice and if fougd, freed of these SG. 8 I F.

All worm medicine should be given on an empty stomoch, except water, for twenty-four to thirty-six hours. Tho remedy should bo fed in a small feed of thick slop to not more than ten at a time, these to be as nearly as possible of the same size. After treatment, the feed should be of a laxative nature and not too much for a few days. For a short time after giving the medicine, the pigs should be kept in a lot not usually occupied by hogs. If turned where they are intended to range, they become re infected by rooting over tho worms and worm eggs they have just passed. The following tried medicines are doses for 100 pounds live weight of hogs. If the pigs weigh but 25 pounds, it would be a dose for four and if 200 pounds, but half a dose for a hog of this size: No. 1 No. 2 Calomel, 1 g. Santomin, 5 grains. Santomin, G gr. Arecanut 3 gr.

Winter plowing of tho garden is -of. extremo importnnco In Oklahomajfor it offers n practical method of helping roIvo tho drought problem.

Happ, Department of Horticulture, Oklahoma Agricultural College. Same Here Lyons Sun: It would be a great thing if a plan could be figured out to equalize subscriptions for public or charitable objects, the same as property assessments are equalized. Of course it is hardly feasible, for all property assessments come under the law and are equal ized by officers of the law. But it is surely aggravating to see a man who has his thousands and unencumbered property, with everything he needs and wants", to only give a paltry sum to a worthy cause. We know of some men in Lyons who have only their monthly wage to support them and others who are trying to build up a business who gave in some cases $10 to $1 given by others who owned farms and were financially well fixed. Some men have queer ideas of loyal ty to one's country. Dakota City, Nebr. m s 13 1 '1 i" V
