Swine Sanitation Boosts Pork Yields Five Counts Against Stumps Stumps in cultivated fields are • serious liability. They occupy valuable land, foster the growth of Weeds, mar the appearance of otherwise smooth fields, shelter harmful insects and animals and prevent the efficient use of machinery. The weight of a fleece is influenced both by density and by length of the staple. Recent studies by the United States Department of Agriculture show that length of staple offers more of a leverage for increasing wool yields than density. Don't Wound Plants Avoid wounding or breaking plants when cultivating or working around them. In harvesting fmits and vegetables to be stored, avoid bruising, as decay most frequently begins where the protective covering is broken. Certain insects, such as the potato tuber moth, gain access at points of injury. With hot weather-* You wTTV- want to coifte here for. a delicious malted ; |nilk, a soda or a cold drink.

Much of the rape seed put up and sold in cartons is of a kind that even wild birds do not eat because of its pungent and bitter flavor, says the United States Department of Agriculture, but all birds relish the mild taste of true summer rape. f Rotation Means Food The rotation of crops is nearly as effective in increasing soil productivity as is the use of farm manures and complete fertilizers, as based on experimental yields of wheat, corn and oats, taken collectively. When rotation and the use of fertilizer are practiced together the one practice adds to the benefits of the other, "and increased yields are greater than from either practice alone. ' The Tattoo Tracer A simple tattoo instrument has been devised for marking hogs as thejr leave the farm for the market so that they can be identified after the slaughter. Such identification makes it possible to trace diseased animals to the farm where the infection originated. A tattoo mark properly put on resists all attempts to remove it. Such marks are valuable in establishing ownership of hogs in cooperative shipments as well as in combating disease. Ill-Shaped Udders Bucket-fed calves often acquire the habit of sucking each other. The vice has several harmful possibilities says the United States Department of Agriculture. In the case of heifer calves, the result may be ill-shaped and pendulous udders,' which distract seriously from the beauty and value of the animals when mature. Also there is danger, especially in the case of well-bred heifers, that sucking of the udders will stimulate virgin milk secretion. In time, this milk secretion dries up and a ruined udder is the result. Many cases of cronic garget or hardened udders reported of virgin heifers are no doubt duetto the sucking habit. f Keeping the calves securfe in strong stanchions for a time after feeding from the buckets will tend to reduce the desire to suck when turned loose. A handful of grain given immediately after the calves have finished their milk will also help to remove the desire to nurse. Seven thousand pounds more pork from ten litters of pigs represents the difference between raising pigs the ordinary way and raising them under the swine-sanitation system devised by. the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, according to the experience of one Iowa farmer. He reports that he raised one lot of pigs from four sows under the conditions that had prevailed in the past on his own farm. For comparison, he raised another lot from six sows under the system of swine sanitation, which prevents roundworms and related diseases and ailments. The first lot of sows farrowed thh*tj|-fhte Jpigs, of which nineteen survived and weighed 35 pounds each at the end of October, 1925. The second lot farrowed fortyone pigs of which forty survived, one being killed by accident; the forty pigs weighed 130 pounds each at the end of October, 1925. Reduced to pounds of pork, the results show that the four sows kept under ordinary conditions produced 665 pounds of pork, or 168 pounds per sow. The six sows kept under sanitary conditions produced, on the other hand, 5,200 pounds of pork, an average of 700 pounds more pork than a similar sow handled in the ordinary manner. For ten sows this would mean a total of 7.000 pounds more pork due to sanitary conditions and methods of handling. Such a large difference is, of course, unusual but striking increases, both as to number of pigs saved and gains made, an common. The system of swine sanitation, now well known through the Central West, involves keeping young pigs away from permanent hog lots which are likely to be infested with the eggs of roundworms, a serious swine parasite. Instead, the pigs are raised on pasture under worm-free conditions. W'V cts Favorably* ' National Highways ciple, strong political opposition to the Dowell bill developed during the past year in certain states. "Following the passage of the bill in the House, an attempt was made by opponent* of the measure to defeat it by permifting it to die on the Senate calendar. However, through the efforts nrf t,h« A. /A. A.. affiliated motor clubs, Consideration of the measure was secured last week and its passage by an overwhelming vote followed a short debate or the floor of the Senate."

Lavelle of^Sftreator spent several days visiting in the home of the latter's mother, Mrs. J. p R>». 1 Percolators Construction' work on the national system of interstate and transcontinental highways is now financed for another three years as the result of the recognition by Congress of the Federal government's obligation to support financially these recognized means of communication and transportation, the Chicago Motor Club announced last Friday. Passage of thp Dowell bill, authorizing appropriations of $165,000,000 for Federal aid highways for the two year period ending Juhe 30, 1929, definitely assures the middle west the financial assistance necessary to permit the continuation of the program of highway construction laid out. Money from previous appropriations is now available for use of the states during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1927. "The overwhelming support given' the Dowell bill when it passed the Senate last week with only six opposing votes, definitely establishes the Federal aid principle in highway construction and is practical assurance that when the funds now appropriated are exhausted, Congress will continue appropriations until the Federal aid highway system is completed," according to a statement issued yesterday by Charles M. Hayes, the president of the Chicago Motor Club. The Dowell bill authorizes appropriations of $75,000,000 annually for Fderal aid highways for each. of the fiscal years 1928 and 1929 and also provides appropriations of $7,600,- 000 annually for each of these two years for national forest roads and trails. Reviewing the campaign which has been carried on for the past year to secure the continuation of the Federal government's support in the highway building, Mr. Hayes declared that passage of the Dowell bill by the Senate concludes one of the greatest good roads campaigns carried on by the organized motorists of the entire country. He commended particularly the efforts of the American Automobile Association tfhich has worked in close cooperation with its 810 different affiliated clubs in developing public sentiment to the Dowell bill so effectively that it passed the House without a dissenting vote and was approved by the Senate with only six contrary votes. "Passage of this measure, which is the lifeblood of highway construction, in the western states, was not secured without a great deal of organized effort on the part of the motor clubs affiliated with the A. A. A.," Mr. Hayes declared. "Owing to a misconception of the Federal aid prin- TERRA GOTTA Almost anything in canned goods and fresh vegetables can be had at Erickson's Dept.
