Permanent' Pastures Have Been Found Source of Infection-- Trouble May Be Prevented by Pasture Rotation; Care In Feed- ing and by Keeping Dogs From « Getting In Among the Woollen "Animals. ; Sheep probably suffer more than any other kind of live stock from . Parasites. They are practically im- mune to tuberculosis, which 1s one of the serious ailments of cattle and Swine, and among sheep there is Rothing comparable to the devastat- Ang outbreaks of cholera among Swine. Bheep have comparatively few bacterial diseases. Neverthe less, there is a steady loss of sheep in all parts of the country and this loss is mostly dde to parasites. It is the sheep owner's business to prevent disease rather than. to at- tempt to cure it after it has made its Appearance. While there are special tréatments for the various diseases which make it advisable to call a Competent veterinarian, there are a number of ways to/prevent diseases caused by parasites. Among these are Pasture rotation, use of forage crops, feeding from racks or board floors, draining or filling swamps, and pre- venting wandering dogs from getting into the flock. Permanent pastures perpétuate parasites, the internal parasites Pass from the animals in the manure and thus the Pastures become fhfested. The pro- per disposal of the manure will aid in preventing this. Damage from parasites is greatest a8 a rule, among lambs and young sheep. Hence, it is important to Pay special attention to the care and handling of lambs and yearlings. Animals which are troubled with - ly A Fine Ram. parasites 'usually do not have fever, but they are unthrifty and will lose rather than gain in weight. As a rule, also, there is some intestinal disturbance, shown by diarrhea or constipation Parasites of sheep are /divided into two general groups, external and Internal. Among the former, lice, sheep ticks, and scab mites are the most common. One application of sodium fluorid in 'the form of a powder rubbed into the skin will kill biting lice, but not sucking lice, Both kinds of lice, sheep ticks, and scab mites are. destroyed by dipping the sheep. For. lice and sheep ticks a number of dips are recommended in the bulletin, including coal tar, creo- sote, cresol, and nieotin, or nicotin and sulphur dips. Arsenical dips are not well suited to sheep dipping. All places which have been occupied by lousy -sheep should be regarded as dangerous from this standpoint for a period of three weeks: if occupied by ticky sheep, as dangerous for two months; if occupied by scabby sheep, as dangerous for a month or two in the case of pastures, and a 'year or more in the case of buildings. Quar- antinée measures are essential in eradicating scab. The most comeion internal para- sites of sheep include tapeworms, flukes, roundworms, and a few other forms such as the BE0ts causing grub in the head, t e. tongue-worm and the one-celied Protozoa. One 'of the most common of these is the' ~ Brub, infestation with which can be largely prevented nose of the sheep with a preparation made of equal parts of tar and grease, or tar and fish oil.

Where fences are connected with a building there should be a grounding at the first - Post - from the building, and the ' ground rod from the building to' be connected with the fence. It the ground. wires are allowed to project a few inches above the fence, strokes are pi ted in the vicinity just as by the points on a building. The 'groundings should be made of Jhe same material as. the fence wires. F.

PREPARE TO GROW CORN PLANTING TAKES PLACE DURING MONTH OF MAY. This Crop Should Be Cultivated Early and the Chief Objects of the Farmer Are to Keep the Crust of the Earth Broken and to Kill Weeds That May Come Up Early Among the Young Plants. 'May is the corn-planting mouth. Although it is Victoria Day before the main crop can be planted in most sections, it is as wéll to prepare now, or at latest as soon as the rush of oats and barley seeding is over, such machinery as will be needed in the early cultivation of the crop. If the development of the plants is checked at the start it may reduce the yield, no matter how favorable the later treatment. The most successful grow- ers realize the importance of keeping down weeds and preventing evapor- ation of moisture from the géi1 through crust formation, and are al- ways early on the land with horse weeder or harrows to give the young plants every possible advantage. There is no means of telling be- forehand how many times corn will need cultivating during the growing season, but there is satisfaction in the fact that, generally, welther conditions that make freqitent cul- tivation necessary are the most fav- orable to a heavy growth, and result- ing big crop of corn. That is to say: reasonably frequent rains, each suc- ceeded by heat--the kind of weather calculated to bring about crust form- ation in the corn fleld--necessitates frequent cultivation to conserve molsture and also provides the best conditions for quick growth of the crop. For/the best results, cultivation of corn should start early and finish late In the season. Many crops are cut short by stop- ping the cultivation because the corn is too tall for use of two-horse culti- Vator. If the condition of the soil demands it, shallow cultivation should continue, even though the corn is tasseling. Blocks nailed to the handles will protect the hands from the corn blades. Iron mowing machine wheels dragged between the rows will sometimes greatly benefit the crop. With a good. riding or walking double cultivator one man can cul- tivate as many acres as two men with one-horse cultivators. This saving of labor is worth consideration. With & properly constructed wheeled cul- tivator, covering two rows at a time, one man has cultivated as much as 15 acres per day: : The shovels with whiek- it is best to equip either single or double cultivators: must be determined by the kind of soil, the size of the corn, and size and nature of growth of weeds to be destroyed. For sandy land sweeps are in great favor, and vary from 6 to 30 inches in width. The sweep scrapes along through the soil at a depth of 2 to 3 inches, cutting off weeds and allowing sur- face soil to pass over them, falling level and flat behind the cultivator. All forms of shovels should be so adjusted. that they loosen the soil and make a fine and even covering for the harder soil beneath. Almost all styles of double cultivators are made either with handles as a walk- ing cultivator or with a seat as a riding cultivator. The latest forms of riding cultivators are easily 'and readily 'manipulated and do good work. ------ Hog Raiser Likes to See Actual Sale. Pork Day is one of the big annual events of Kings County, California. It comes in October usually. In this contest the farm bureau centre isthe unit, and every farm bureau centre in. the contest advances one earload of hogs to be exhibited and rated an expert judge. Every farm- bureau centre must have at least six consignors to the load, thus preventing any big concern from exhibiting a ecarload.

There were 175 such sales in 1920, with sales aggregating $1,400,000. Poultry Notes. Scratch feed or whole grain should be scattered in the litter. Hens like to work for their living. Troughs or hoppers should be used for dry mash. They keep this feed always accessible. > Brood coops with runs should be Placed on ground, where the grass is green and tender, and, as fast as it is eaten off, the coop and run should be moved to a place where the grass is plentiful. Progress in breeding poultry stock will be made most quickly 'by picking out the best individuals in the flock and using them as breed- ers, rather than by breeding from the flock as a whole. -- Cold Storage. Cold storage has, by the test of experience, been proved to be ful- filling its rightful purpose in the scheme of food supply. Records over the past four seasons show that perishable foods are taken at periods of glut and carried into the lean months. There is no "carry over" from one season to another.--Indus- trial and Development Caugell of Canadian Meat Packers. ---------- To Have Trees In Line, When starting the orchard it is necessary to use a planting board in order to get the trees in a true align- ment, Take a board four or five feet long, and bore a hole in each end large enough for small stakes to slip through. Then make a notch in the centre of the board. 5 ot urse, the location of each tree to be placed In the orchard will be indicated by a stake. Place the planting board on the ground so that the notch coincides with the stake which has been set for the tree. Then pin the planting board to the ground with the small stakes at each end. The middle stake can new be re- moved and also the planting board. Dig the hole for the tree and then place the planting board back on the two end stakes. The notch Will come right where the tree stake stood be- fore the hole was dug, and, of course, that isthe place to put the tree, It enables the grower to pliace his trees upright in straight lines. If the Planting boa-d is not used it will be difficult tq line yp the trees even if the holes are in line as one tree will be too near to one side of the hole and the next tree too near to the other side. The result is an orchard which advertises for many years the careless methods by which it was planted. i -------------- Sweet Clover, Of some 800 sweet clover growers In Ontario who received a question- Daire last fall from the Ontario Agri cultural College as to their experi- ence in growing that crop, some 200 have replied. The list of sweet clover growers' who were asked for inform- ation represents 41 counties and those who returned answers, 34 counties, . : . The replies received show that one farmer had had 20 years' experience of growing sweet clover; 124, from 3 to 11 years' experience, and over eighty, from 1 to § years' experience. According to the average results of the various growers, sweet clover gave satisfactory returns on gravel, sandy loam, loam, clay loam and clay, there being a variation of only 3 per cent. in these five classes of soils. Sand was about 10 per cent. and muck 25 per cent. less suitable for sweet clover growing than the other soils here referred to.
