The state council of defense has
; ked farmers to use special care in
stacking hay and grain along rail
roads. A largeamount of loss occurs
in this way every lear. The council
oilers the following suggestions: Do
not stack hay, grain, straw of fodder
I any description within 500 feet of
n railroad track, and farther away if
possible and convenient. If grain is
!-ft in shocks after cutting, ploy fire
toards of six furrows 300 fee-,' from
the track, and put as many of the
shocks as you can where they will
tit- protected by this guard. If stacks
SJN located where fire from a railroad
may reach them, plow or burn fire
guards around such stacks. Protect
meadows by burning or plowing fire
guards, of sufficient width. 300 feet
from the track. We are convinced
thai if these suggestions are ourrieVl
t i t, much property can be saved, and
if anyone -refuses to co-operate you
Bbould promptly notify the state
eeuncil. giving name and address of

Save Money on Farm Gates
It won't cost yon a penny more 1o put up genuine CAN'T SAG gates on
your ranch or arm than to huild the clumsy, short-lived all-wood gates you
have used for years. That's why the farmers arc putting up thousands of
these gates very year. They have found that here is the tirst practical farm
gate dne that will really stand the hardest knocks, outlast the all-wood or
Wire and gas-pipe pates three to one, and yet actually costs them no more than
the cheapest homo-made gates they can build.
CAN'T-SAG gates are not only stronger and cheaper, hut they are also
the finest looking gates you can own. They swing both WSTS easily, and are
guaranteed never to sag or drag.
PUT UP GUARANTEED CAN T-SAG GATES
Buy them complete or build them just as you prefer. We furnish the
gate steels which includes angle steeples, hinges, braces, lag screws every
thing including the lumber. We furnish them so that you can build them any
, length or height.
The simple gate now on demonstration at our yard will show vou just
how they ar made and how they look when hung. The price is low. '

PESTS INJURE LIVE STOCK
8crew-Worm and Blow-Fly Trouble
some to Stockmen In Different
Parfe of Country.
(Prepared In- the United Htataa Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Itoth the so-called screw-worm and
the blow-ily larvae commonly called
maggots, are pests of prime importance
to stock raisers. The screw-worm is
often Coafused with the other species,
especially during the spring nnd fall
months. Injury to live stock from mag
gots is more widespread than is that
duo to the true, screw-worm. In fact,
this maggot Injury may be found
among live stock In any state of the
Union, although It occurs most fre
quently In the warmer portions of the
country. The true screw-worm Inflicts
enormous losses on the stock raisers
of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Ari
zona, aud southern California during
reasons which are favorable for Its
development. During the warmer por
tions of the year It Is never entirely
absent from this region nnd may also
cause Injury to stock In the other
Southern states, and as far north as
Nebraska.
The screw-worm Is a native of the
Americas and has been causing trou
ble to stockmen for tunny years. No
doubt It Is largely due to this fact
Hint cattlemen accept the pest as a
necessary evil and always count npon
"doctoring" a certain number of cuses
every year.
The seasonal abundance of the
screw-worm fly depends largely tipon
cllmutfc conditions. The first ap
pearance of adults in numbers in
spring varies from the first of April
to the middle of June, according to the
liit Kude and earllness or lateness of the
season. Throughout most of the ter-
J
Black Blow-Fly, or Common Maggct
Fly, as Seen From Above (En
larged). rltory where it is a pest it usually be
comes SI 1)111 during early May,
and cases of screw-worm Injury be
gin to appear soon after. The insect
then gradually Increases in miiHWrs
until the hot, dry weather of midsum
mer, which in Texas usually reduces
the abundance so that the Injury Is not
Severe under-normal conditions In the
months of July and August, unless
considerable eteudy. end raiajr weather
Occurs. It becomes more numerous
gain iii the early fall, especially when
the weather Is warm and showery, and
its activities are terminated only with
the advent of heavy frosts. The abun
dance of this fly, of coarse, is depend
ent to large exte ,t upon breeding
places ai hand, but ii is also true that
u wore hntnid Rtmosphers Is best suit
ed to its development.
GOOD FEED FOR LITTLE PIGS
Scalding Middlings With Some Milk
and Sweetened With Molasses Is
Most Excellent.
When pigs are about three weeks
old they will want to eat more tan
the milk they- can get from their
mother. A smnll, shallow trough
should be placed where the sow can
nut get it. Scald some middlings,
stir and pour hi some milk; If the
milk Is sweeti all the better. Tut Into
the feed about I tablospoonful of mo-Ins-.es.
hrive the little pigs ear. -fully
over tla- trough. They will get tin
odor from the RMdSSSfS . put their noses
to the feed, lap It, and begin to eat.
KEEP DUAL-PURPOSE CATTLE
Popular With Farmer Who Must De
pend on Few Animals for Milk
and Butter for Family.
(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
The dual purpose eat lie are popular
with the small farmer who keeps hut a
few cuttle anS must depend on them
to produce all the milk and butter
needed for the family and, at the
same time, raise cnlves or steers which
will sell readily for slaughtering pur
poses. They have uot been iopular
with the ranchmen or farmer who
raise large numbers of cattle.
Conserve Your Money
It is just as vital that the wealth of the citizens of this counV
try he conserved as that any other necessity be conserved t
aid in the winning of the War.
Money is the greatest requirement of the Government; the
absolutely paramount commodity, the essential thing whisk
we can all have a part in providing.
The Capital Issues Committee Was
Created to Help Conserve Money
The Capital Issues Committee bus legal jurisdiction ovW
all issues in excess of $1 00,000 and has requested that all
issues of $100,000 or less be submitted to the District Com
mittee for approval.
It will be regarded as an unpatriotic act for any stock to
be sol, I wh ieli has not received the permission of the Cap
ital Issues Committee, and all citizens are asked to co
operate with the Committee by refusing to buy any stock
w liieh has uot been submitted to the Committee and received
the proper permit.
Insist Upon Seeing the Permit
Before Buying Any Stock
When yu arc asked to buy atock or bends in any com
pany, insist upon seeing the permit of the Capital Issues
Committee for its sale. Do not accept any statement that
it is all right, that the permit ia in the offices of the com
pany. DO NOT BUY ANY STOCK unjesadhe proper per
mit is produced for your inspection.
Do not trade your LIBERTY BONDS for any stock, no
matter if a permit for its aale has been issued or not. The
boya at the front have enlisted for the duration of the
War. Surely you should enlist your money without ree
ervatiou.
You owe to the Government your co-operation in providing
the money needed to carry on the War, and the Capital
Issues Committee helps yob to avoid non-essential invest
iuents.
Please do all that you can to assist the Government in this
direction.
