(rrcpnretl by ttio United States Depart ment of Apiculture.) The green-bottle Hy l" w''e tils trllmttnn tlirniiL'tiout the world. It Is known ns the grcen-bottlo or green blowfly In this country. It Is rather rlosely nreorlntcd with habitations of limn nntl Is not ns commonly known on the ranpe ns are the screw-worm fly and the black blowfly. It Is often abundant In cities, especially If Kr bage la not properly eared for. Tills Is the fly which causes the wool xnnpEOt of sheep In the IJrltlsh Isles, The Green-Bottle Fly Enlarged. and the pome habit has been recorded for It In this country. It has been known to deposit eggs on the soiled rumps of calves As well as sheep, fol lowing diarrhea, and occasionally It Infests wounds on animals. It Is usually slightly smaller than the black blowfly and the screw-worm fly. Its color ranges from n brilliant bluish green to u dark metallic bronze green. It Is without stripes or other markings. The adult flies usually appear during the first warm days of spring nnd nre present throughout the summer, though they seldom become as numerous ns the screw-worm fly or black blowfly. The length of time required for devel opment Is about the Fame as that re quired by the black blowfly. The mag gots breed exclusively In animal mat ter. There nre two or moro species of files of this group which occasionally breed In living animals, apparently at tacking only old festering wounds. They arc of comparatively little Im portance, and since there nre a great number of different kinds of flics of this group home of which are not at all Injurious. It Is hardly necessary that the stockmen learn to recognise them. Their size varies considerably from a little larger than the common housefly to somewhat larger than the black blowfly. The color Is usually uni formly gray, with black stripes on the bqek. r Many of the members of this group of flies retain the eggs In the abdo tnen until they hatch, and thus brlag forth living maggots. Those species vWfch attack living animals breed In 'decaying animal matter, and their life history Is almost tho same as that of tho screw-wonn fly. The'flles seldom Vcome very numerous, and In most of the cases In which they are found In living animals they arc located In old festering wounds or the young nre deposited after a sore has become In fested by screw worms. These flies fcccra to bo ablo to withstand tho hot, dry weather of midsummer In the Southwest nnd probably are respon sible for many of the cases of infes tation of animals during such periods.

BETTER CHICKENS IN SOUTH Propitious Climate Enables Ownar to Produce Eggs to Better Advan tage Some Obstacles. (Prepared by the United Stales Depart ment of AKHcuUuro.) Increased Interest In poultry rnNtng In the general farming sections or tho South, with purchase of much better stock, Is reported by a specialist of tho United States department of agricul ture who recently Investigated the status nnd activities of Old Mother Hen in Alabama, Louisiana, Missis sippi nnd Texas. Producers are work ing not only to supply the homo mnr kct but eggs are also being shipped from Mississippi. Alabama nnd Texas to Memphis, St. Louis, New York nnd other marketing centers. Tho advantages of the South for poultry keeping are manifold, nnd In clude a propitious cllmnle, which en ables the flock owner to produce eggs to better advantage during the winter season, while he also can make use of simpler and cheaper houses than can his northern associates. Further more the favorable weather conditions In the South promote the feeding of green stuff to the hens practically tho year around. There are certain disadvantages, too, such as prevalence of Insect pests, In cluding mites, lice, and In boine sec tions mosquitoes nnd stick-tight fleas, as well as the bluo bug In parts of Texas. Furthenuoro southern mar kets nre not high-paying consumers of locnlly produced eggs. This Is par ticularly true In the resort section of Florida, wbero for many years tho trade has been accustomed to Import Its eggs from tho North and West. It does not readily transfer this business to local producers. In addition the Good Plan to Let Porkers Nurse Until Twelve or Fourteen Weeks of Age Keep Them Crowing. (rrrp.trcit hy Hi t'ultcit Btiktes Depart ment uf AKrlculturn.) Too ninny farmers fnthm the prac tice of weaning pigs when too young, tunny being weaned at six nnd seven weeks of nge. A good brood sow prop erly fed has a good How of milk when tho pigs are of this nge. There Is no better feed for growing pigs than their mother's milk, consequently It should bo used to tho greatest extent pos sible. When the pigs nre of suckling nge the sow should be on full feed. Unless there Is sotnu extraordinary reason for earlier weaning tho pigs should not bo weaned under tho ago of ten weeks nnd It Is better to let them nurse until they are twolvo or fourteen weeks old. Often serious results follow weaning nt too early nn age. An entire chnngo of feed following weaning may create serious trouble. If, however, pigs have access to corn, shorts, middlings or tankage, or flsh meal In n self-feeder placed In the open where they can cat nt pleasure without being disturbed by other hogs, they can bo weaned at tho ago of twelve or fourteen weeks, with very little change In their feed, by al lowing them to continue on the self feeder. To obtnln tho best results pigs should gain continuously until they nre ready for market. The best results will not ' bo obtained unless pigs have access all tho time possible to good forage crops, alfalfa and rod clover preferred. If these feeds cannot be procured rye, oats, hurley, coupons, rape or any other grain or grasses that will pro- j duce good forage In the locality should bo sown. Tho pigs should be watched closely to see that they nre on their feed. If they arc not the feed should b llflHiHMlSHIB' WKI I f ' itf " ' 1 ttfcUkVCIHUkTCKZl kBZ-T' SBHfl'MKWmBiBHHBBflBnTH : V"9Sl,W3l1 nMHHHHnBSMM !EEKTtJCV IBHHflBI8ifiW?5sMrJ Flocks of Mixed Breeds Are Giving Way to Purebred In South. southern market for eggs Is usually "spotted," due to fluctuations In the tourist trafllc. During the heat of sttiumer egg losses In tho South aggregate a con siderable sum, largely due to the de velopment of fertile eggs. It Is essen tial that southern producers exert er cry effort to produce and market only Infertile eggs In order to control this sourco of loss. A common opinion pre vails that the leghorns arc particularly adapted to southern conditions, but according to the experience of the spe cialists of the United States depart ment of agriculture southern poultry- men realize Just ns satisfactory re sults and In many Instances moro fa vorable returns from the maintenance of the heavier, general-purpose birds. A number of failures In the jxuUry business on the part of newcomers in Florida, who embarked In specialized production of poultry products, arc ex plained by the fact that most of them were unfamiliar with local conditions nnd stnrled on too extenslvo u scale. A beginner In chicken raising In u new locality should always start on a small scnlo and expand his operations as ho leurns more about local conditions und as his returns from tho business Jus tify. For tho man who Is experienced In poultry ruining und who will adapt himself to new conditions readily and not take excesslvo risks, and who Is supplied with plenty of working capi tal tho southern states apparently of fer a fair opportunity. Creep and Self-Feeders for Little Pigs Youngsters Can Get In Pen Under the Fence, but Large Hogs Are Kept Out. bo changed, replacing trorn with Imp Icy and using skim mllftror buttermilk: if possible. The pigs tdiould ho kept free from lice by the t of crude or good black oil. They inn-st havo nccess lit nil times to good, pure-water. Shade must bo provided during the hot sum mer months. Natural sliaile Is nlwayr best, but where this Is t obtainable temporary shade may be provided by setting posts nnd nailing hoards on poles about three and ouu-half or four feet from the ground and covering with truw or grass. SELECT PIGS FOR BREEDING Animals Should Not Be. Pushed, but Kept Growing Nicely to Develop Bone and Muscle. Pigs selected for breeding purposes should be kept growing nicely, but they must not bo pushed, for the whole oIh Ject of their feeding Is to muke them stretch out and develop bone and munclo In placo of fat. They should bo continued on u growing ration. A. little skim mill; and shorts muke a good ration. A small amount or ground outs and cracked corn will help develop and Insure normal growth. Hut corn should bu used sparingly us It Is too fattening for pigs. Itemembcr that theso pigs should also havo un nbun dance of green feeds. WHITE-SHELLED EGG LAYERS Fowls of Mediterranean Breeds Best Suited for This Purpose Classed as Nonsltters. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) roultry of tho Mediterranean or egg breeds are best suited for tho produc tion of white-shelled eggs. Itepro sentntlves of this class are bred large ly for tho production of eggs rather than for meat production. Among tho populur breeds cf this class uro: Leg horn. Minorca, Ancona, und Andu luslun, One of tho outstanding char acteristics of tho egg breeds Is thft fuct tluit they uro classed mi nonslt ters. That Is, us u rule, they do not become broody und hutch their eggs. When fowls of this class uro kept artificial Incubation n&U broodlug urc usually employed. ALFALFA BEST FORAGE CROP Greatest Single Crop That Canv Be Grown and Pays Handsomely Unexcelled for Hogs. (Prepared by tuo United Hiatus Depart ment of Agriculture.) Every farmer, whether or not lo raises hogs, should havo some alfalfa If ho can iosslbly get It. It Is tho greatest single crop that can ho grown and pays handsomely where It Is grown. Ah a forage crop for hogs it Is unexcelled. LIGHT HOGS ARE PREFERRED Relative Marketability of Various Cuts Is Deciding Factor In Selling Animals. A heavy hog will bring tho producer more nionoy than u 200-poiind hog, but pound for pound the latter Is worth 'HOj-0. Tho relative marketability of tho various cuts Is tho deciding factor. SALE!
