(Prepared by the United State Depart ment of Agriculture.) That the county fair ts a fertile Held for carrying on extension work has been demonstrated In the tipper penin sula of Michigan by Duncan L. Mc Millan, extension specialist In sheep husbandry of the Cnlted States de partment of agriculture, co-operating with th Michigan College of Agricul ture. During the recent county fair season Mr. McMIUnn displayed a novel sheep exhibit, prepared strictly on ed ucational lines, at five local fairs. The object of the display was to demon strate improved methods In handling and breeding sheep to fanners al ready in the business, and to stimu late and assist others In getting start ed properly. It Illustrated to begin ners the advisability of using western ewes as foundation stock and crossing them with pure-bred rams of the black faced breeds to build and grade up flocks. Make-Up of Exhibit ' The exhibit was made up of several pens of sheep. Including one of west ern ewes brought In from the range this year, and others of first, second and third crosses of western "ewes and pure-Tired rams. One pen of Angora goats was used to demonstrate their brush-clearing ability by placing quan tities of brush In such fashion as to make the goats climb for It. Milk goats were also Included In the exhib it. The sheep in the exhibit were used for special Judging demonstra tions and In Illustrating the more Im portant points to be considered In se lecting breeding stock and culling the flock.

Important Things Accomplished On the whole, the most Important thing accomplished seem to be that fanners came to realize the value of the pure-bred sire. Also, they learned to appreciate western ewes as foun dation stock and to recognize the er ror of using the open, coarse-wooled breeds' of sheep for this purpose. AIM FOR BETTER SEED CORN County Agents Have Directed .Consid erable Effort in Selection and Testing Campaigns. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment ot Agriculture.) Realizing the Importance of good seed corn as an essential in increasing production, and knowing that fall-selected seed corn is best, county agents have directed considerable effort in seed-corn selection and testing cam paigns. Three hundred and fifty-four agents assisted 63,813 farmers last year In the 33 Northern and Western states In fall-selecting seed corn, and more than a million additional acres were planted with fall-selected corn re sulting from work of the agents dur ing the previous fall. Assistance was given to 86,538 farmers in the testing of seed corn, resulting in 946,563 addi tional acres being planted with tested seed. The agents conducted extension campaigns to encourage seed corn se lection in the fail and seed-corn test ing In Illinois. Indiana, Iowa, Michi gan and Pennsylvania. CULTIVATE TO KILL WEEDS Necessary Moisture and Plant Food Utilized at Expense of Important ' ' ' .Food Crop. Cultivation stirring the soil kills weeds, which draw moisture and plant food at the expense of the crops, and incorporates air, a necessity, into the soil. A clod of earth locks up plant food and. prevents Its utilization by the plant. AS. fc CLUB BOY IS MAKING BROOMS Alabama County Agent Relate Com mendable Spirit Exhibited by Southern Youth. (Prepared by the United State Depart ment ot Agriculture.) Ambition engendered by boys' clubs In the South does not stop at crop growing or production. The progres sive spirit inculcated by county agents and demonstrators leads to higher as pirations, good cltiieuship aud the de- Bale of Broom Corn. sire for education beyond that obtain able In the elementary schools. An example of this commendable spirit I comes to the states relation service In a recent field report from Alabama. "One of my boys," writes the agent in Center, a town in Cherokee county, "bus made 102 brooms from his corn. He has sold 60 at $1 each and has 200 more to make. The proceeds he will devote to his education along more advanced lines." TREATMENT OF HOG DISEASES Ailing Animal Should Be Immediately Isolated in Clean Quarters Disinfect Pens. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment ot Agriculture.) As soon as sickness appears in the herd the unaffected hogs should at once be removed to clean, disinfected quarters, preferably without much range, for by running over pastures they may come In contact" with con tagion. Their feed should be carefully regulated and, if they have previously been on pasture, should include some green feed, roots, or an' abundance of skim milk. The quarters In which the sickness first appeared should be thoroughly cleaned, all bedding and rubbish burned, and loose boards and old par titions torn out and burned. ' If the pen Is old, knock It to pieces and burn it Disinfect pens and sleeping places, using alrslaked lime on the floors and the carbolic-acid solution on the walls and ceilings. Whitewash everything. If a bog dies from any csuse the car cass should never be exposed where it may be devoured by the other bogs or by passing birds or beasts, but should be burned at once or buried deeply and the pens thoroughly disinfected imme diately. If possible, do not move the carcass from the place where It falls ; but if necessary to do so the ground over which It is dragged should be dis infected. It is not known positively how long the virus of hog cholera may survive in the soil, but under favor able conditions it Is not unlikely that it may live in the ground for several months. Care should be taken to main tain a strict quarantine between tbe sick and healthy hogs. The same at tendant should not care for both lo's unless he disinfects himself thorough y after each visit to the Infected hogs. Dogs should be confined until tbe dis ease is stamped out. The treatment of hogs suffering from cholera is not satisfactory after .the disease has become well established In a herd. The prevention of an out break by the use of antihog-cholera vaccination should be relied upon rath er than the cure of sick animals. ' MANURE OF BENEFIT TO CORN Average Increase of 10.4 Bushels Per Acre Secured During First Year of Application. The results of a large number of tests conducted by the University ot Missouri College of Agriculture show that manure applied to corn land un der Missouri conditions at the rate ot eight loads per acre has given an aver age Increase of 10.4 bushles during the first season following Its application. At the present price of farm products this should be sufficient reason for making a special effort to save every ton of manure produced on the farm and to see that it Is returned to fh' field before the corn crop is planted. v : Gen.

Determination of Pres ident Wilson, Indicated In prcsa advices from Paris, that no American troop shall continue on German will for a longer period after the signing ot the peace treaty than may be necessary to embark tbem for home, I borne out by present plans of the war depart ment, whirh contemplate the return of the entire American expeditionary force by September.

The September date represent esti mates by embarkation officials as to the maximum possible speed in with drawing the entire force In Europe, Including the troops holding the Co bleni bridgehead sector on the Rhine. If anything, officers believe the move ment will be accelerated rather than retarded. The schedule has been ex ceeded recently and In Increasing measure from week to week, with an indicated monthly movement of 450, 000 men. . BRIEF GENERAL NEWS The Belgians have asked the council of three for a first advance of $400, 000.000 from their share ot the German Indemnity.

Animal In Infected Territory Should Be Examined at Frequent Inter vals and Treatment Applied a Often a .Needed. (Prepared by the United flutes Depart ment of Agriculture.) . Ear tick, bloodsucking parasites, which Infect the ears of cattle, horse, aheep, dogs aud 'other animal and cause heavy loascs among live stock In the seinlarld sections ot the south western states, cannot be eradicated by dlpplug, but may be controlled and losses may be prevented by Injecting into the ears of Infested anltnula a mixture of pine tar aud cottonseed olL Dipping Not Effective. Unlike the cattle fever tick, which attnehee Itself to the outside portions of cattle, the ear tick cannot be eradi cated or controlled by the ordinary methods of dipping. The remedy thor oughly tested by the bureau of animal Industry In field Investigations con sists of two part by volume of or d I nary commercial pine tar and one pnrt by volume of cottonseed oil. This mixture Is injected directly Into the ears by menim of a uietul or liurd rub ber syringe. In mixing the Ingredient the cotton seed oil should be udtled to the pine tar and stirred until a uniformly smooth mixture Is obtained, lu raid weather the pine tur and cottonseed oil should be warmed so they will mix readily aud flow freely, but they should nut be heated more thuu Is nec essary. This preparation when properly ap plied kills the ticks but does not Injure the animals. Cottonseed oil Is a fairly good solvent for ear wax, and the mix ture penetrates ordlutiry loose musses of ear wax aud ticks, but It will not penetrate the hard masses, to break l p which the use of an ear probe made of baling wire Is suggested. The prep aration recommended not only kills all ear ticks with which It comes In contact, but being of a sticky consis tency It remains In the ears anil pro tects the animals against relnfestu tiou for about 80 days. Frequency of Treatment Animals In tbe Infested area, the bulletin says, should be examined at frequeut Intervals and treatment ap- Steers of This Type Are Replacing Na tive Scrub 8tock In the South. piled as often as necessary to protect them against discomfort and losses caused by ear ticks. Herds grazing on Infested ranges should be treated late In the fall or early in tbe winter to prevent winter aud spring losses to poorly nourished range cattle. All animals In an Infested herd should be treated whether or not they show In festation. , When animals are grossly infested and tbe ear canals are packed full of ticks the) parasites are easily visible, but when the infestation Is light or moderate the ticks may be overlooked. The parasites usually attach them selves In the deep folds of the ear or crawl Into the ear canal and follow It Inward, sometimes an far as tbe ear drum. Animals badly Infested usually shake their heads and repeatedly turn them from side to side, meanwhile in verting first one ear and then the other. Restraining Animals for Treatment Most anlmuls oppose the insertion of anything into their ears. The farm er who has only a few gentle farm ani mals to treat may tie them to a post or restrain them by other well-known methods, but in treating herds ot wild range cattle or horses special equip ment such as dehorning chutes, brand ing chutes or other cattle chutes may be used. Ear ticks are especially prevalent In the semlarid sections of the south western area of the United Btates. The Infested areas, however, extend as far north as Nevada aud Oregon. The climate In parts of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona and California seems to favor their rapid multiplica tion. The ticks remain attached to the ears of the animals for several months, and shipments of live stock from the infested area to various points in the United States cause the parasites to become widely disseminat ed, but moisture Is apparently detri mental to their development In certain stages, and they do not seem to be able to flourish- in any part of the United States except the semlarid sections of the West - We Beg to Announce THAT THE Central Oregon Title & Loan Company Has taken over the Abstract and Insurance Business of the Crook County Abstract Company And will be found at Crook County Abstract Company on I Court (Third) Street I SCRATCH !Auo Different site and quality of paper, Just the thing for your desk or pocket, (or sale at Tbe Journal office.
