"Quite right," said the bug, "quite

"Still it's n foolish saying with but

"Well," said the bug. "there Is more

goes along so easily, and that Is the

KEEP YOUNG PIGS
f'T'' '
Young Porkers Should Not Be Hised
Investigations reported In a recent
technical publication of tho bureau of
animal Industry, United States depart
ment of ngrlculture, disclosed addition
al evidence of the Importance of keep
ing young pigs In clean pens that have
not been contaminated by other swine.
A roundworm of pigs, known as
Ascarls suum, Is held responsible not
only for many deaths among swine
but for a large proportion of the
runts among these animals. Develop
ment nnd perpetuation of the round
worms Is fostered by bndly drained
and manure-covered hog lots, which
are on this account dangerous to young
pigs and not good for pigs of any
age.
Soli May Become Infested.
Eggs of' the parasite may remnln
alive In soil for live years and oven
longer. Places occupied by pigs har
boring the adult worms In their In
testines will become badly Infested
with tho eggs. Pigs farrowed and
kept In such places are certain to pick
up lnany of thso eggs, nnd even
suckling pigs nre liable to swallow
eggs present In dirt adhering to the
tents of the sows.
Investigations by the bureau have
proved that after the eggs have been
swallowed and have hatched In the
Intestine the young worms do not Im
mediately settle down, but penetrate
tho wall of the Intestine and travel
CO-OPERATIVE GRAIN
CONCERNS ASSISTED
Bureau of Markets Ready to
Make Timely Suggestions.
Furnishes Specimen Copies of By-Laws
and Indicates Proper Methods of
Organization and Administra
tion of Companies.
In the United States there are some
14,000 co-operative marketing associ
ations. To ninny of them tho bureau
of markets, United Stutes department
of agriculture, has given valuable as
sistance by furnishing specimen copies
of by-laws and by Indicating proper
methods of organization and adminis
tration.
"The Organization of Co-operntivo
Grain Elevator Companies" Is tho title
of Uulletln No. 800, Issued by tho Uni
ted Stutes department of ngrlculture
upon this subject. Tho bulletin Is nil-
dressed to those who desire assistance
In the formation of co-operatlvo grain
elevators, but the subject matter Is
treated In u manner that makes tho
bulletin of Interest to those engnged
In other lines of co-operntlve endeavor
as well. The scope of the pamphlet Is
limited lo matters regarded as funda
mental and general, and It Is Intended
that the suggestions and recommen
dations ho considered with reference
to nnd in connection with special co
operative laws and tho laws governing
corporations In each of the several
states of the Union.
The bulletin points out that tho suc
cess of any organization, whether co-
operative or for prlvato profit, rests
upon social or economic need, u sound
organization plan, nnd elllclcnt management-
It then details the various
factors that produce these basic con
ditions. It dwells upon the organiza
tion of Joint stock companies, private
corporations of the capital stock
form, and co-operative associations In
corporated under special co-operative
law, the three common forms of organ
ization of farmers' elevator enterprises
In the United States.
Under the chapter of preliminary
survey, matters of local conditions,
prospective membership, capital, vol-
nine of business, nnd methods of sur
vey are covered. Then the processes
of actual organization nre discussed
and a suggested form of by-laws given.
The bulletin also contains some gen
oral suggestions regarding the solec
tlon of the plant, the cholco of dlrec
tors and a manager, u maintenance
agreement,- emergency capital, and
speculative tendencies.
Tho pamphlet has been written by
experts In matters of co-operative as
soclntlons. it Is the composite result
of nctual experience, and should prove
of valuable assistance to those Inter
ested In co-operntlve marketing. The
bulletin may bo had upon request of

IN CLEAN PENS
In Pens Contaminated by Other Swine.
to the liver nnd the lungs. From tho
lungs they crawl up the windpipe nnd
then down the esophagus and return
to tho Intestine. Only nfter they have
passed through the lungs do they es
tablish themselves In the Intestine anil
grow to maturity.
May Cause Pneumonia.
In passing through the lungs tho
young worms cause more or less dam
age to these organs. Pneumonia may
result and the nnimal tuny die about
a week or ten days after Infection.
Symptoms of this pneumonia among
pigs nre commonly known as "thumps."
Not all cases of "thumps" come from
this source but the worms are fre
quently tho cause. Young !gs ar
more susceptible thnn older pigs to
Infection nnd nre also more likely
to suffer sevorely from migration of
the young worms through the lungs.
There Is no trentmcnt for the lung
stage of tho parasite. If the pig sur
vives ho may later be treated with
worm remedies to remove the worm
from the Intestine. In such cases,
however, It commonly happens that
the animal has been so seriously In
jured by the worms during their mi
gration through the lungs that even
after their expulsion from the Intes
tine the pig is unable to make up for
the setback ho has received, although
he does better than If allowed to go
untreated.
SUNDRY ADVANTAGES
OF FALL-SOWN OATS
Department of Agriculture Gives
Timely Hints in Bulletin.
Under Climatic Conditions In Many
States Crop Usually Yields Better
and Matures Earlier Poor
Land Can Be Used.
Fall seeding of oats has numerous
advantages over spring . seeding
where tho fnll-sown varieties can be
successfully grown, as In the states
of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana; In
Virginia nnd North Carolina, except In
the Piedmont and mountain sections;
and In southern and eastern Texas,
announce specialists of the' United
States department of agriculture, in
Farmers' Uulletln 1110, entitled "Fall
Sown Oats."
Under cllmntlc conditions In those
states the fall-sown crop usunHy
yields better and matures earlier. The
land can usually bo prepnred In better
shape In the fall than In the spring.
Fall seeding Interferes less with other
work. Poorer land and less fertilizer
can be used. Tho fall-sown crop fur
nishes a cover for the soil during Jhe
winter nnu prevents wnsiung.
The bulletin sets forth the varieties
of oats that can best bo grown In tho
Sohtb and details the soils and ferti
lizers that should be used. It Is rec4
onimended that, wherever possible,
oats should follow u cultivated crop.
One of the best rotations for the cot
ton-growing sections Is: First year,
cotton; secoild year, corn with cow
peas planted at the last cultivation;
third year, fall-sown oats, followed by
cowpoas. Outside the cotton-growing
section a good rotation, Including oats.
Is: First year, corn with cowpoas In
the corn; second yenr, oats, with clo
ver or grass seeded In tho oats; third
year, meadow or pasture. Other ar
rangements nre also suggested.
The bulletin details the preparation
of tho laud, tho preparation of tho
seed, the treatment of the seed for
smut, the sowing of the seed, methods
of seeding, treatment of the land after
seeding, methods of harvesting, and
the utilization of the crop.
