(, I923, Western Ncwspnpri i niuii ) Hog PricGS Wgig Very Low m 1922 Pure Bred Swine Business Suffered Depression With -v,l T.1 Tl 1 uiner i1 arm irancnes. (Prepared by the UnltM Stelea Department of Asricultur ) Sale prices of pure bred hogs reached a very low level In 1SJ2, according to n recent survey made by tho Unttocl States Department of Agriculture. Analysl'j of the reports on the sale of 30,:iS'J pare bred hogs In 10U2 Indicates that the pure bred swine business has suffered depression along with other branched of agriculture. The reports received present a fairy accurate pic ture of tho business. In the opinion of department olllclals. although they do not represent n large number of nnl ninls. Number and Price of Mogo. The number of bogs of the flvo breeds on which reports were received nre: Berkshire, 1,70'Jj Chester White, 8,0'J2; Duroc Jersey, 8,Gfi!; Hamp shire, 4,010; and Poland China, iZV2. The average price reeeUed for each breed, Including all ages and both sexes at both private nnd miction sales was: Berkshire, SHO.f.T; Chester White, ?rj.7'-'; Duroc Jersey. $l.r).l)t; Hampshire. $11.12; nnd Poland China, $11.01. Auction sale averages were from $10 to $25 nbove those sold at prlvnte trenty. This difference, It Is pointed out, Is due partly to tho large number of pigs under eight months of nge sold privately, whereas auction sales are usually conllned largely to more mature anlmnls nnd Involve n larger number of bred gilts, bervlec boars and bred sows. Highest Prices by Breeds. Snles reported nt less than $7.r0 per head were omitted In calculating tho averages, ns sales nt such low figures were not considered to be legitimate pure bred sales. The highest prices by breeds Indicated by the reports were: Chester White, $7-10; Poland China, $500; Hampshire, $500; Duroc Jersey, $550; and Berkshire, $250. Of the :t0,H82 hogs reported upon, 121 brought $100 or moro. These were distributed by breeds as follows: Berk shire, 10; Chester White, 15S; Duroc Jersey, 130; Hampshire, -17; Poland China, 07. A few bred sows and gilts sold nbove $150, but tho average price was about $50. This survey Is n new feature of the new service work of tho bureau of agricultural economics, of tho depart ment, and Is the first of n scries of surveys to be mnde nt Intervals of six months. Rye Is Most Excellent - Crop to Pasture Swine Rye probably Is tho best crop to use for fall, winter and spring pasturo for hogs. By putting In successive plant ings from two to four weeks apart It Is possible to hnvo fresh pasture nil the time. Seeding for pnsturo should bo much heavier thnn for a grain crop from three to four bushels nn ncre on good soil. Pasturing probably can begin six weeks after seeding, and may contluie, If the ryo Is not covered with snow, until the following April. Hog raisers enn "kill two birds with one stone" by plowing under bnrn lots und putting In Mich crops ns rye. In tho first place, bogs need good succu lent pasturo as much of the time as possible, and In the second plnce they need protection ngalnst Internal para Mte.i, such as roundworms, the eggs of which remain In tho soil. Turning over the soil In the lots helps to get rid of the pests, nnd the crop of for age makes It n profitable operation. In addition to providing cheap protein feed, pasture crops aid as laxative and require the hops to take n certain amount of exorcise which Is necessary to breeding animals and growing pigs. Cure for Blackhead Has Never Been Discovered The United Stntes Department of Agriculture lias this to say concerning blackhead: "No positive cure for blackhead has been found. As In tho rase of all other Infectious diseases, the sick bird should Immediately bo removed from the flock to prevent a further spread of the disease, and If very sick it is best to kill It and burn the body. Clean out the roosting plnce nnd spread lime In the plnces most frequented by tho turkeys. Keep a disinfectant In the drinking water; potassium permanganate Is most often used, n sufficient quantity of tho crys tals being ndded fo tho wnter to give It n wine color, which for every gallon of water will take ubout as much of the chemical ns enn bo plnced on n dime. If the turkeys aro being fed heavily, their ration should bo re duced, as overfeeding predisposes to tho disease. The feeding of sour milk has been found to bo of ndvnntnge in keeping turkeys In good henlth and In reducing the activities of the organ isms cnuslng blnckhend." In Cooling Milk Entire Mass Must Be Stirred In cooling milk It Isn't sufllclent to Just set the can of milk in a tub of cold wnter. Tho milk must bo stirred thoroughly until tho entire mass of milk Is about the temporaturo of tho water. When the milk Is not stirred, tho mill; in tho center of tho can Is not affected by tho cold water until tho bncterla have had on opportunity to Increase greatly In numbers and as n result tho whole mass of milk sours. Tho milk In contact with tho container will bo cooled, but tbnt Isn't Mlllplnnr. Control Measures for ' Flag Smut of Wheat Several Ways Outlined for Holding Disease in Check. (1'repared by the United State Department of Agriculture.) Flag smut of wheat, n disease that has been known by Its presence throughout the world for many years, was first discovered In the United States In some fields of wheat In Illi nois In 1011). Although Hie disease has not caused much loss in the Infested area, the nrea Is gradually enlarging and Indications are that It may becomo n serious disease unless adequate con trol measures are put Into effect. Tho symptoms of flag smut and suggested control measures are discussed In De partment Circular 273, Just Issued by the United States Department or Agri culture. I-'Iag smut appears ns black stripes running lengthwise in the leaf and sheaths of the wheat plant which be come twisted and rarely produce a head. Infected plants are usually more or less dwarfed. The disease may b held in check nnd reduced In quantity by Judicious quarantine measures, seed treatment, crop rotation and othei sanitary measures, and by growing re sistant varieties of wheat through ex periments a number of varieties have been found which are highly resistant to or possibly even immune from the disease. It is possible that by the uso of such varieties, kept free from sus ceptible mixtures, the disease may be entirely eradicated. Those Interested may secure a copy of this circular free of charge, ns long us the supply lasts, from the Depart ment of Agriculture, Washington. Sweet Clover Is Best of Different Honey Plants Score another for sweet clover which not so long ago was regarded as a nox ious roadside weed. Sweet clover Is tho greatest honey plnnt in the United Stntes, according to O. C. Matthews of Illinois university's division of bee cul ture, who points out that the several varieties of the plant furnish succes sive bee pasture from spring until frosts In the fall. "The yellow biennial comes nlong about the time dandelions go out of bloom," says Mr. Matthews, "and so tides bees over the critical period Just before the blooming of white clover. The white biennial blooms after white clover and lasts well Into August. Hit bam, the white annual, begins to bloom soon nfter the first of August nnd con tinues until killed by frost. Tho bee keeper can keep a constant honey flow In his community if he can but per suade the farmers around to grow all three varieties of sweet clover." Mr. Matthews tells of nn Illinois bee keeper who furnished sweet clover seed to farmers when It wns $2 n pound until there were more than 400 acres within rench of his bees. From this ncrenge he received n shnre of the seed crop and many tons of honey. Somo of his colonies yielded nearly 500 pounds. "Grow sweet clover," Is Mr. Mat thews' ndvlec to heekoepcrs. "Furnish seed to your neighbors, study methods of getting It started and persuade road supervisors to leave It standing along the roadside." Sweet Clover Excellent Pasture for Dairy Cows Sweet clover ninkes nn excellent pnsture for dairy cows. Much more feed can be grown on an acre of sweet clover pasturo than on an acre of blue grass pasture. After the plants get well stnrted, drought lias very little effect on Its growth. However, sweet clover will not grow on sour soil nnd II will ba n wnste of time und money to make the nttempt unless your land It sweet. Hotter lmvo your farm bureau test your soil and If It is sour npply several tons of ground limestone pei ncre. It Is best to sow It In tho spring with barley or oats. Usunlly by nbout September the sweet clover will be about n foot high nnd can then bo pas ture for nbout sis weeks. Tho nest summer It can be pastured the entire season. Sweet clover Is n biannual and will Inst only two yenrs. The seed shoul be Inoculated before it Is sown. Saving Can Be Made on Feeds Bought in Autumn Dairymen who must have mill fecdi for their herds next winter should buj tliejii now nnd thus savo on costs, snyi IJ. A. Hnnson, dairy extension special' Ii,tv University of Mlnnesotn. "The practice of purchasing a few socks ol brwn or ollmenl whenever needed li pn.ir economy," says Mr. Hnnson. "Tho cost of feed Is n lnrgo fnctor In fluencing tho profits, and n good sav ing can bo made on ton purchases ol ollmenl or cotton-seed meal nt thti time rather than wnltlng until the win-tt-r months nro here." Proper Amount of Salt to Give Producing Cow The cow productog an nvcrntfi umount of milk, requires at least nn ounce of salt u day, A snfe rule to follow Is to allow three-fourths of an ourtt dally for ench 1,000 pounds of live weight nnd nn nddltlonnl three-fourths of nn ounce for ench ten pounds ol milk produced. Missouri Collego ol Agriculture dairymen follow this rule.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected.

An examining physician for one of tins prominent Life Insurance. Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as tonishing statement that ono reason why to ninny applicants for insurance are re jected is because, kidney trouble is fo common to the American people, nnd the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have tho disease.

F. veteran who found a can of tobacco in his soldier mail It wns during tho thick of things in Franco thnt Gen. PcrshinR sent tho following frantic cable to Washington: "Tobacco is as necessary as food. Send a thousand tons at once." As any ox-doughboy will tell you, s thousand tons of tobacco distributed over n fighting force of 2,000,000 men showed good intentions, but it didn't fill tho need not by a few million pipcfuls. Even today letters Btlll como in from veterans who have forgotten tho horrors of war and remember only tho thrill of "a real American smoko" in France. For one, Hugh Livingstone, Adju tant of Yankeo Division Post, No. 272, V.F.W., remembers: Providence, R. I. I.srus & tlrother Co., Itichmond, Vs. . Gentlenu-ni My Introduction to Kdjeworth took place over In the training area in Franc under clrcumitancvi that left a lantlng Imprrsalon ot tbt good qualities ot Edge worth. One night, after a hard day'i work, my bunkla drew a packagu from home, ono ol those myaterlous atTalrs that might contain everything but what you wanted. Alter due ceremonies ol guetilng he opened It and the drat thing we saw was tho blue box ol Edgeworth. All turthcr operation! ceased until wo filled the pipes. After using the French tabae for several weeks and burning our mouths and throats to a raw atato you can imagine how cool and satisfying that Edgeworth tasted to us. We smoked until we were ordered to bed, and I fell asleep smoking. You can Just bet a letter went home for mora Edgeworth. hi nee that time I have uicd about every kind of tobacco that Is nut up, but It Is Edgeworth lor me when I can get It. Thank you lor putting auch a satisfying and cool tobacco on the market. Gratefully yours, (Signed) Hugh Llvlngitone. Probably any good American smok ing tobacco would have brought the same joy to Mr. Livingstone nnd his bunkio in Franco. But it is a fact that when Edge worth makes a friend, moro often than not it is a life time affair. Edgeworth's ono great asset for most omokers Is that it is always tho same. You can buy n package in Chicago, an other in New Orleans, an other in San Francisco, and each package will givo you the samo cool, satisfying smoke.
