" TO PREVENT CRACKED HEELS Trouble May Be Avoided if Manure Is Not Allowed to Accumulate and Urine Is Drained. (By DR. H. PRESTON KOSKINS. Uni versity Farm, St. Paul.) Scratches, also called cracked heels or mud fever, can be prevented by careful stable management Cases are rarely met with in well kept barns, but are often seen In dirty, poorly drained stables. Dryness and cleanliness of the floor of the stall are the two most Important factors In the prevention of scratches. Horses should not be allowed to stand in piles of manure and decom posing urine. These Irritate and In flame the skin In the fold of the ankle Just below the fetlock. The skin then becomes thickened, due to the Inflam mation and breaks or cracks in It ap pear and If allowed to go untreated the condition grows gradually worse. The affected area grows larger, the cracks become deeper and the animal 1b in an unsightly and painful condi tion. Owners of horses can , prevent the trouble in the majority of cases by doing two things. Do not allow man ure to accumulate behind your horses, and see that your stalls are so con structed that the urine will drain away promptly. If your horses show any tendency toward the condition ap ply a small amount of carbollzed vase line, benzoinated lard; or zino oxide ointment, well rubbed into the af fected parts. These remedies will soften the skin and protect it from external moisture and irritating sub stances. During wet weather or when the roads and streets are muddy or slushy, extra precaution should be taken to prevent the condition. Do not wash cracked heels, as water and rubbing only aggravate the condltioa BENEFICIAL EFFECT OF LIME Substance Improves Sandy Soils by ..Making Them More Compact and Retentive of Moisture. w ' (By b. H. "MITE.) Nothing in agricultural science or practice may be mentioned with more assurance than the beneficial effect of lime on easily puddled still clay soils. This is so nearly a matter of common laowledge, the wonder is that anyone will worry along with such soils yeai after year, and even from one genera tion to another, while the possible in crease in yield in a single year wil! often pay for the necessary lime. Lime may Improve loose sandy soils by making them more compact and more retentive of moisture. For this purpose some form of carbonate oi lime is usually recommended, and In much smaller quantities than for clay soils. Clay soils will stand more lime f""jZ ft--. r y vtf'T'.r r mmmd Read Story of Her Death.

The im provement of sandy soils will often be much greater if the lime is applied to a green crop turned under.

ERADICATE HOG LOUSE Vigorous and Patient Treatment Is Required. Blood-Sucking Parasites Cause Much Irritation of Skin In Dipping Creollne Is Better Than Lime and Sulphur, (By N. S. MAYO.) , The hog louse is a common parasitic pest on swine and one that requires vigorous and patient treatment to eradicate. The hog louse is one of the largest of the lice that attacks domestic animals. They are readily seen traveling about on the bristles, usually on the neck, back of the ears, moving with a peculiar sliding mo tion. The eggs or "nits" are small, white, oval bodies attached to the bristles.- Hog lice may be found on almost anv Dart of the animal's body, but are most common about the neck. ears and back of the elbow. These are blood-sucking parasites and, by biting the hog and abstract ing blood, they cause a good deal or Irritation': of the skin. The animal rubs on hosts and other objects and the coat looks rough and harsh. The fjaraalte and eeea are easily found noon examination. The parasites are transmitted from one animal to an other by contact, or by contact with Infected Redding or quarters. DlDDlna the animals three or four times at intervals of ten. days will usu- flly free them from these parasites. LIME REQUIRED FOR ONIONS 8oll Is Made Looser and Therefore More Productive Success At tributed to Substance. Much of my success in growing big onions, many specimens weighing a pound and a half apiece, I attribute to a free application of lime to the land In spring, says the Farm and Fire side. Likewise, I believe that similar applications, Just before sowing the seed of the Portugal onion early in August have helped me to get a re markably fine stand and growth. I have used manures right along, year after year. The land is rich. The fine and almost spontaneous growth of clover on any patch that is left to Itself for a while would hardly show that there is any need of lime. Yet owning perhaps to faulty drainage, the land often turns up rather soggy, with close texture. Lime seems to make it closer, and therefore more productive. Grass Demonstration. A new line of work of the depart ment of agriculture and one that la very promising was begun last year in conducting demonstration experi ments in grass. One hundred demon stration farms, of one acre each were established In 20 counties In South Carolina. Am average yield of 8,146 pounds of cured hay at an average cost of 123,66, per acre was produced, and In some. Instances as much as 6,000 or 6.00 w pounds of cured hay an acre was harvested. These highly sat isfactory results have stimulated great Interest In grass growing, especially In South Carolina. A vigorous grass campaign; has been started In Nortq Carolina, Virginia and other states. It Is expeteted that .5,000 or more al falfa demonstrations wlll be conducted this year . In Virginia alone. Preparing , for the Hatch. Some days before the first hatch i due from the incubator .the brooder house should be thoroughly renot- Tliou vtvaucu uviu ivy w wuuui, The floors should be scrubbed thor oughly, and when dry, sprinkled with air-slaked lime. - Close the doors and windows tight, and burn a quantity of sulphur on some hot coal In an. old pot Leave the house closed for a day, sand should then be sprinkled over tho floor. The brooders should be cleaned In the some thorough man ner, and well sunned. One cannot be too thorough with this end of the work. Give the youngsters a clean start at least Vat for Dipping Hogs. provided the sleeping quarters are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. In dipping to kill lice, the coal-tar dlpB of the creollne type are better than lime and sulphur. If the hog wallows are kept well filled with wa ter, to which some of the creollne dips are added every ten days, the iwlne will usually free themselves from the lice. Another good way of oombatlng the parasites is to tie gunnysacks or other coarse cloths around rubbing posts and keep these cloths saturated with crude petrole um. There are many coal-tar "dips" on the market. They are made from the products of the distillation of coal tar and have a variety of trade names. Creollne is one of these preparations. They are all dark-colored liquids with a strong coal-tar odor and when mixed with water form a milky white or slightly brownish emulsion. We have tried several kinds with ex cellent results. Practically all drug gists have these dips, but we would advise using a dip made by a well known and reliable firm. These dips should be used at the strength of one part of the dip to forty or fifty parts of water. If rain water Is ob tainable it is preferred to "hard" wa ter. These dips should be used warm. There should be a dipping vat on every hog farm. They may be made of wood, galvanized iron or cement They are set In the ground at a con venient place so that there Is good surface drainage away from the vat A good size for a large vat Is ten feet long on top, eight feet long on the bot tom, and two feet wide on top. The end where the hogs enter should be perpendicular and the other end in clined, with cleats, so that the hogs can emerge after swimming through. The entrance should be by a slide. Such a tank is very useful whereever hogs are kept in numbers, as frequent dipping tends to keep the hogs healthy and free from parasites. To Avoid the Runty Pig. Runty pigs stand a poor show at the feeding trough with a bunch of their husky brothers and sisters. Aa they are crowded out of rlace natu rally they do not get enough to eat to keep them growing, and they stay runty. A trough arranged with V-shaped partitions set strongly in the trough would give the little fellows an equal show with the big ones, and the weaker ones would get their share of food. A handy man can. make such a trough arrangement in' an hour or o, and even the growth of his pigs would more than pay for his trouble. ' Buckwheat Crops. ' No other crop will bring in better return in the Northern States for the time it occupies the ground than buckwheat It is put, in after the other crops have been planted and are growing. It Is the best grain to raise to subdue a patch of trouble some weeds and to starve out worms In the soli. ' It comes handy to sow on vacant pieces of ground which have been left because too late to be sown to some other crop. It is a valuable crop to plow under to enrich the soil and give humus. SECURING PROFIT IN SHEEP If Pure-Bred and Well Cared for They ! Pay Handsomely need Shelter ; In Severe Weather. 'My sheep are pure American Meri nos, all registered. Two of this kind I can keep in summer or winter with the same care and feed with which one of most any other breed can be kept, says a writer in an exchange. My sheep barn is a closed building with a broad door so that the sheep can go in and out without crowding each other. The feeding racks in one room are on the outside; the other room has a double rack through the middle. I give my sheep a large run in the fall so they go into winter quar ters in good condition and never leave them out in heavy rains through the season. The breeding ewes are let out every morning in winter to eat their grain, which is oats, and to give them exer cise. I feed them hay three times a day. Some only feed twice. I only give them a little at noon time, also give their pens a litter of oat straw two or three times a week. I try to have my sheep shorn before they drop their lambs so the little fellows have no trouble to find their first meal. The ewe that is In good condition has a good supply of milk and almost al ways owns her lanib. I never keep salt by them, but feed it to them once a week. I have water by them all the time. I never allow the. jam. to run with; the ewes. The rams that are to be used are fed three-quarters oats and one-quarter wheat mixed. Tho young lambs in the fall and winter are fed twice dally a grain ration of oats and sometimes wheat brail half mixed. :.V When Your Eyes Need Care Try Murine Eye. Remedy.
