Especially Important to Protect Newly
Farrowed Animals From Intestinal
Parasites.
'Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Recent Investigations have shown
the importance of tuklng special pre
cautions with newly furrowed pigs to
prevent their becoming Infested with
Intestinal worms. Intestinal worms are
very common parasites among pigs,
and cause a great deal of damage to
the young animals. It appears that as
they become older pigs become less
susceptible to Infection. Accordingly,
If pigs can be protected from Infection
during the first few weeks of life they
are less likely afterwards to be serious
ly Injured by Intestinal worms of the
common variety.
The worms are spread by means of
eggs of microscopic size which are de
posited by the adult worms In the In
testines of infested pigs, and which

SUGGESTIONS ON GOOD ROADS
Special Thought Should Be Given by
Builders to Road Crossings to
Avoid AooldenU.
While highway engineers, commis
sioners and others are planning good
roads and strong, durable bridges,
they ought to give special thought and
work to the road crossings and the
Mwers or culverts placed at such cross
ings, says a writer in Farmers' Review.
Such crossings are generally about
12 to 16 feet long, and It requires an
abrupt turn of a vehicle to take them
at right angle. These nre danger
points on account of the short turn
and narrow space to make the turn.
The remedy for such places Is to
make sewer or culvert as long as the
width of the road will permit, say not
less than 40 feet, and more if possible,

ters.
cording to temperature and other con
ditions, the egg contains n tiny embry
onic worm, and Is ready for further de
velopment when swallowed by n pig.
The eggs are highly resistant and may
retain their vitality for years. It Is
therefore evident that in course of time
the ground In yards where pigs are
kept may become very heavily laden
with the eggs of the worms.
When the eggs are swallowed the
young worms hutch out, but do not Im
mediately settle down In the Intestine,
They get Into the circulation nnd nre
carried to various organs of the body,
Including the lungs. Meanwhile they
increase somewhat in size and undergo
certain changes of structure. In a
week or ten days they can be found In
Infected pigs examined post-mortem
crawling up the windpipe into the
mouth and down the esophagus into
the stomach. In the normal course of
events they finally reach the Intestine
again, where they develop slowly to
maturity. Small pigs if their lungs are
Invaded by large numbers of the young
Intestinal worms are liable to develop
pneumonia, which may prove fatnl. It
Is not Improbable that many cases of
lung trouble among young pigs are
caused by these worms.
Tho question of preventing losses
among young pigs by worms, judging
from tho results of the Investigations
Carried on In the zoological division of
the bureau of animal industry, largely
resolves Itself into n question of pro
viding good sanitary conditions for the
pigs, particularly during the suckling
period. The sows before farrowing
should be kept In clean, dry places
away from mud wallows, and until the
pigs are several weeks old they should
be kept preferably in buildings and
pens with floors which can be easily
cleaned and which nre kept clean.
MENACE TO SHEEP INDUSTRY
Dogs and Coyotes Constitute One of
Greatest Drawbacks to Wool and
Mutton Business.
(rrepam! by the t'nlted States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Wool and mutton are commanding
lilgner prices than ever before and sup
plies of wool are being depleted so rap
idly that it will take some time after
pence is declared to restock the wool
trade, says Bulletin 035, "The Sheep
Kllllng Dog," issued by the United
States department of agriculture.
The United States Is experiencing
the greatest shortage of mutton and
wool in the history of the country. It
Is the duty of the American farmer to
increase the supply.
Tho shcep-kllllng dog constitutes one
of the greatest menaces to the success
of the sheep Industry.
The dog not only kills sheen but
keeps out of the sheep business men
who are otherwise inclined to go into
It.
The most effective method of dealing
with the sheep-killing dog is through
efficient legislation.
Notable progress has been made bv
several states In euaetlng good dog
laws, nnd others are expected to taka
Imllar action.
No law, however well worded it raav
be, can be effective unless It is en
forced and has the moral support of
the people who are affected by It.

TEST OF TIRES ON HIGHWAYS
Results Obtained by United States Of
fice of Public Roads After Pe
riod of Years.
In Its testing of tires on country
roads during a period of several venrs
the United States office of public roads
has prepared the rond prior to each
test by plow ing, grading and rolling
thus, with further consideration of
moisture and atmospheric variations,
giving conditions as nearly Identical as
possible for each of the trips compared,
It was found that the draft decreased
with Increase of tire width to n cer
tain limit, beyond which It increased.
As a result of the experiments, It is
recommended that for ordinary farm
work and general trucking, the stand

wagon, with gross load of 2.000 pounds,
Should bo two Inches; light two-horse
wagon. 2,500 pounds, two nnd one-

Imperative That Productive Stock Be
Rather Largely Increased During
Current Year.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OI Agriculture.)
Meat can be produced from poultry
more quickly than from any other
source. One of the necessities Imposed
upon the United States by Its entrance
Into the world war Is to produce more
meat than It has ever produced be
fore. This Is essential not only to meet
its own greater needs because of being
on a war basis, but also to save the
countries with which it co-operates in
the war from defeat through lack of
food.
Meat Is one of the most essential of
food products. Of such meats as can
he cured and kept In compact form
larger quantities than ever before must
be sent to the armies overseas, and the
proportion of these exports to the to
tal production In the United States Is
likely to increase steadily and even
rapidly, as larger armed forces from
this country nre sent to the fighting
front In Europe.
In order to leave available for the
forces overseas as large a proportion
as possible of the output of cured and
compact meats, it is desirable that
there be a decided Increase in both the
home production and the home con
sumption of white meats such as poul
try. To that end It is Imperative that
the productive stock on general farms
and In the hack yards of the nation be
rather largely Increased during the
current year. It has always been and
will always be true that the great bulk
of this country's poultry Is produced
not on specialized poultry farms but
In the dooryards and farm lots of the
diversified farms. Establishments de
voting their attention exclusively to
the production of poultry have been
nnd Will continue to be of rather large
Importance, but they can hardly be
looked to or any very great part of an
emergency Increase In production suf
ficient to constitute B noticeable factor
in feeding the world at war. That de
mand upon the nation's potential pro
duction capacity can be met, however,
by the farmers and home makers of
the country without any sort or strain
and with compensation In poultry
profits more than commensurate with
the outlay of money nnd effort.

should be moved weekly to fresh

rearing chickens, especially during
warm weather; therefore, the coops
should be placed In the shade when
