To Control Hog Lice Clemson College, .lune 15.-Tho following remedies, any of which will prove satisfactory, are suggested by V. L. Starkey, chief of the animal husbandry division, in answer to In quiries from fanners on this subject: l - Crude Oil Treatment.-This ls tho most widely used treatment for hog lice. It should bo applied to tho hogs by pouring it down tho back and rubbing it over tho entire body, taking pains to see that tho head and ears aro well covered. Ono applica tion of crude oil, provided it is thor ough, will eliminate hog lice. Of course, in all cases lt ls necessary to clean up tho hog houses and sleeping places and disinfect them with the same preparation. 2- Creolin.- By taking an ordi nary coal tar preparation, such as cieolln, and diluting lt about 1 to 35, you may bo ablo to control hog lice. As lu the case of crude oil the application of this material should be thorough. When a coal tar pre paration is used it is necessary to re peat tho treatment in ten days, be cause the llco are killed, but tho nits are not. 3- Oil from Garages.-Oil from garages, which has been drained from tho motors has been used very satis factorily to control hog lice. How ever, some of the oil which is ob tained from garages has a great deal moro korosono In it than others, and when this is the case lt sometimes bl ist ers. Oils aro also beneficial In laying dust, which is almost as injurious to hogs as lice. Ammonia Tank Exploded, ii Killed.

Clemson College, Juno 16.;-No herd can be brought up and main tained at a high standard without constant culling, according to L. V. Starkey, chief of the animal husban dry division, who believes that the hog offers tho greatest opportunity for culling and selection of all classes of livestock. The best time in the year to decide whether or not a sow is worth keep ing is just after weaning time.

Tho prolific, heavy milking sow, though "thin as a rail""when her pigs are weaned, ls the sort for the foun dation of every successful herd. Such a sow should hold her place in the breeding herd until there are better ones to take her place.
