Peters, a veteri narian of national reputation, has had a wide experience with hog cholera. He says that there is much smaller loss from cholera i. those herds that are free from lice. When a hog is lousy the lice make him unthrifty and out of condition and he is easily susceptible to disease. The weak, lousy hog gets the cholera and lice spread the disease from him to the hogs that sleep with him. Feed is high and is likely to be higher. A lousy hog is unthrifty and does not make the gains from his feed that are made by hogs free from lice. Many herds of young shotes are not making money from their feed because they are lousy. IUce retard fattening and injure the health of breeding sows. Get rid of the lice. An easy way to get rid of Uce when they are not too thick on hogs Is to set a number of short posts in the yard or field where the hogs run and wrap these posts with old gunny sacks. Once a week soak the sacks with either crude oil or coal uil and MANNER OF FASTENING WI.RE Simplest, Easiest and Cheapest Way Is by Encircling Post With Wire of Smaller Size. There are numerous methods of at tachir.g wire fencing to concrete I posts. Some makers place staples or 1 wire loops in the green concrete; oth ers make holes in the posts. The former method is n, t desirable be cause the fastener cannot be located exactly where the wire of the fencing will ccme when the post is set In the 4 ground; then, too, the fastener will I eventually rust or break off and will thus injure the looks of the post, On Wire Fastenings. the other hand, holes through, the pcsts weaken them and therefore this1 method is, in general, unsatisfactory. The simplest, easiest, and cheapest way of fastening a wire fence to a concret,: post is by encircling the post with a wire one size less than the corresponding wire in the fence prop er and by twisting this wire around the strand of the fe':ce wire, and the free eznd is then carried around the post ad twisted on the other side to the same wire. The latter method is known as "the Western Union twist." Either plan is good, but care must be taken to draw the fastening wire tight, or else stock trying to get tirough the fence may loosen it. WEANING OF THOROUGHBRED 1 ord in Strictest Term Means Eng lish Race Hcrsc-Pure-Bred is What is Often Meant. The more commen of the terms 4 sed to Indicate lineage are thorough red, pure-bred, cross-bred, grade and erub. Thoroughbred in its strictest 1 erm means the English race horse. Tis was the original uise of the word.I The term pure-bred is used synony-1 ously with full-bred. It 1-ndicates i animals of well-deined breeding with ut admixture of other blood. In speaking of pedigreed Shorthorns, for instance, one should not say, "thor ughbred," but pure-bred. !! you want 'tc start an argument] among the fanciers just call a Per :heron stallion, a Jersey bull or a Leg orr. cock a "thoroughbred." he Liver egulates the Body A Slsgglsb Liver Needs Care.

Make a -cement wallow or bath 10 by 10 feet and 16'inches .deep. Fill this to a depth of 12 inches with water and cover the water with coat of crude oil. The hogs will bathe in this and the oil will cover them and kill the lice. Renew the oil and water as necessary and every two weeks clean out the bath with a shovel. Where expense of cement cannot be afforded, dig a hole the same size as for a cement wallow and puddle it with clay. Put in the water and crude oil. Before this hole gets filthy dig anoth er. Hogs can be sprayed with a hand sprayer. It is hard to get rid of the lice around the sheds and yards. All bed ding should be hauled off or burned, all trash cleaned up and fence, shed and ground treated with oil or a coal tar dip. This may be sprinkled with a broom or put on with a hand spray er. It is a good plan to make tem porary' sheds and put the hogs on aew ground for 30 days. If hog holera is in your county, get rid of le lice quick. RRASS CULTURE IN VIRGINIA teport of Interesting Experiments Made With Various Hay Crops Lime increases Yield.

The report shows that or :hard grass and clover mixed averaged ,,460 pounds per acre in yield of hay, 1 Ls compared with 1,575 pounds from ! irchard grass alone. Timothy red-top, nd elof~r mixed yielded 5,440 pounds, is. compared with 4,460 pounds of imothy and red-top, 3,307 pounds of1 'ed-op~alone and 3,857 pounds of imothy alone. Spring and August ieedings yielded 1.86 and 2.1 tons per ere respectively 'of a mixture of clo rer,. timothy and red-top. An application -of one ton of burnt line and 300 pounds of nifrate of oda peg- acre was followed by an av irage ha'y yield of 4,402.5 pounds per cre. Applications of 300 poun'ds of itrate of soda and one ton of burnt [me produced yields of 2,127 pounds nd 3,699 pounds respectively as corn ared with 2,215.5 pounds on the check at, per acre. The same applications lone were followed by yields of 8,376, ,055 ,and 1,950 pounds of hay per acre espectively.

Loading corn fodder may not be rery hard work to the small farmer, >ut when one has the product ot many Lres to load it becomes a formidable peration. The work can be much noe easily done if the following de rice is used: Make a loader by using Stwo-inch plank ten feet long with leats of inch stuff nailed on one side tt short intervals. At one end nail cleat on the underside, which will be ree inches wider than the board on ach side. Tie small ropes to this leat and with them fasten the rack ;o the back part of the wagon rack, he lower end of the plank-rack rest ng on the gpound. This makes a stepladder up which t is easy to walk, and if strongly made tman can readily carry up it all he tan get his arm around.
