Heavy losses of pork products due to iiiunge iiiite.N of hogs liu\e been re ported lately to the Failed Stales De partment <>T Agriculture by its inspec tors in the Central West. In addition to being an irritation to hogs, .result ing in general uiitliriftiness, mange mitt's cause meat losses running into hundreds of thousands of dollars an- mifrily, according to recent information obtained.^ Reports by J.

D„ Doctor Wilson obtained sulliclent •'vldence of avoidable losses to suggest concerted action in reducing the rav ages of the mange parasite. Damage Vital Parts. - . Fully 40 per cent of the hogs slaughtered In South Dakota during t he winter mont hs of 102H-24 -showed evidence of the mange mites, though only about onedialf of that num ber were sufllclently affected as to cause definite losses.

The damage to hog carcasses caused hy the mites assumes the form of roughened skins and inflammation. In some cases the meat is entirely unfit for food. In other instances the in jury places the pork products from such hogs in the lower grades, which have a reduced market value of from !1 to 5 cents. The observations made In South Dakota are believed to tie typical of other important swine- growing states. Loss Preventable. The United Stall's Department of Agriculture points out that losses due to mange mites are largely preventa ble. Treatment consists in tlie appli cation of various simple remedies, ranging from mixtures of kerosene and lard to specially prepared mite- control dips. The hogs may be treated by hand application, hog oilers, spray ing, medicated lio'g wallows, or by dip ping. In applying tbe treatment swine owners should always treat the entire ht?rd, whether all animals show infection or not. Medicated hog wal lows are one of the most practical means of reducing mange-mite Infec tion, since the Instinct habit of hogs is to wallow in water. By medicating the water in properly constructed wal- bnvs the remedies take effect with a minimum expenditure of money, time and lu4>or. Farmers’ Bulletin IttSo, "Hog Mites and Hog Mange,” discusses practical methods of control and eradication. A simple table, worked out at the Iowa Agricultural college, Is endorsed as practical and good by the animat iiusbarfilry workers a4 the New York State college at Ithaca. They point out That tallies would hardly he needed if silos contained nothing hut air, or water, or rocks, or sand. But silage packs down, so that the higher the silo, the greater the pressure on the bottom layers, which means more pounds to tiie square foot at the bot tom of the silo. Other factors, such as time of filling and condition of corn, also cause a variation in weight. The following table shows the aver age weight at various depths of a cubic foot of silage; the first figure indicat ing feet and the second pounds: 10-21), 12-27Vi, 14-29, 10-30Vi, 18-:i2, 20-:53Va, 22-:W%, 24-30, 20-H7 Vi. 28-38 1-3, 30-39%, 32-40%, 34-41%. 30-42%. 38-44, 30-45, 42-40, 44-47, 40-48, 50-50, 00-54. If a 12 by 40-foot silo contained 30 feet of silage after being allowed to settle and the exact number of tons left In the silo is wanted,, the .area would first be figured by multiplying half the diameter multiplied by Itself times 3.1410. So Gx0x3il416 equals 113.1 square'feet. The total amount of silage was 113.1x30 or 4071.6 cubic feet. The amount fed off was 113.1x10 or 1800.0 cubic feet. From the table, the average of 30 feet of silage is 42% pounds for each cubic foot, or a totaLof 4071.0x42% or 174,000 pounds. Th£ amount fed off, however, averaged only 30% pounds to a cubic foot—os the table shows. In other words, 1809.0x30% equals 53,175 pounds fed out The difference Is 118,825 pounds remaining, or ap proximately 59 tons. Handling Clay Soils Is Most Difficult Problem Of all the various types of soil to be found, none when properly handled are more productive than tin* heavy clay. The very fineness of these soils, gives them a large water-holding ca pacity, which will adapt them to the production of small grains and grasses, Tbe management of those soils pre sents special problems for considera tion. Their fineness gives them a ten dency to bake and to require more- than the usual amount of labor in ml- tivation. t The lack of ,sufficient sur face or underdrainage makes them i old and wet in the spring, and when there is a lack of vegetable or organic matter, they are hard to work and less productive. — . One of the great drawbacks with this tyjh' of soil ix^the fineness of the soil particles. To offset this condition, the farm practice ~Rtmuld be so ^ar ranged that tlie operations will sys tematically open up and make these soils more porous. Special attention must,’be given to the time and type of plowing and cultivation. Heavy clay soils should be. fall plouml when the moisture content* is right.

The following is suggested by the New Jersey experi ment station : — r - The common cattle files which gath er on the backs of cows and annoy them so that milk production is de creased, can be eliminated by a home made spray mixture that costs only 1 cent a day for each cow. A spray mixture recommended by J. K. Bartlett, professor of dairy hus bandry at the college of agriculture at New Brunswick, consists of the following ingredients:. 4% quarts of coal tar dip, 4% quarts fish oil, 3 quarts of coaloil, 3 quarts of whale oil, 1% quarts of oil of tar, 3 pounds of laundry soap. Dissolve tlie soap In water and add the other ingredients. Mix the com bination thoroughly and bring the whole up to 30 gallons hy adding luke warm water. This spray w ill not injure tlie coats of the animals. It is well to spray twice daily: once in the morning after ranking, and again in the afternoon. Thirty gallons will spray 40 cows for ten days at a cost of 1 cent per cow per day. Use of Fly Sprays and Different Repellants The use of fly sprays and repellants offer some relief at milWng time, hut it is doubtful if thorough spraying will affect the milk flow. Trials at the Missouri experiment station and re cently at the Kansas station have tended to show no increase in milk (low following liberal spraying. The sprays ust-d in the Kansas test were partially successful in reducing the number of flies during milking time at a cost of one to two cents per cow per day. Th** decrease in milk flow which occurs during tly time is largely duo to short pastimes and hot weather. To set' that the cows have sufficient feed, water and shade Is therefore of pri mary imiiortance. Showing How a Modified, Inductively Coupled Honeycomb Receiver May Be - Constructed by the Beginner. The three-honeycomb-coil regenera tive receiver is considered among radio fans to be one of the best types of sets for tbe beginner who contemplates going, from the crystal detector to a tube set. A slight modification of thh? circuit is shown in the diagram. It will he seen that two variable controls are eliminated by substituting a fixed primary coil coupled to the secondary, and thereby doing away with the pri mary variable condenser. In this man ner tfifl honeycomb set is made to tune extremely sharp and easy to ad just. The untuned primary coil Is made hy wrapping 10 turns of No. 22 d.c.c. copper magnet wire in m circle and tying it to the secondary honeycomb coll of 35 or 50 turns. This outside colKshould be wound In the same di rection ns the secondary, to which it Is fastened. The plate coll, which Is another honeycomb of about 50 or 75 turns, is connected in series with the plate of the detector tube and the tel ephone receivers. Around the receiv ers and the B battery the usual phone condenser Is connected. This conden ser Is important, as it will assist In regeneration. The secondary coil, to which the primary is fastened, must be shunted by a good variable condenser. The better the condenser the sharper the set will tune and the louder the sta tions will come in. The movable or rotor plates of the variable condenser of the 21 or 23-plnte type connect to the battery side of the clrcylt Tnis will help to eliminate "body capacity” effects. The stationary plates connect with the grid condenser. If the con denser Is of the metal-end type the rotor plates will connect to the bat tery side of the circuit and capacity effects will be entirely eliminated— The grid condenser is of the mica type, mnglng*“Tfom .0005 to .00025. Tlie condenser should be shunted with a grid leak of approximately 2 meg ohms. If the set squeuTb^doo much try another value of grid leak. In tnnlng this circuit the tube Is lighted and turned up to the usual brightness. The plate coil Is placed dose to the secondary coll, while the variable condenser across tlie second ary is slowly moved hack and forth This will pick up the stations within the range of the receiving set. More careful adjustment is necessary to Hear up the music or voice, ami this is accomplished hy moving the plate coil to or from the secondary. If it is found that the set tunes a little hrond on local stations the primary coll should be rewound with less turn"* If six turns are placed on the primary it will tune a great deal sharper than with ten turns, hut there will l>e a slight decrease in signal strength This makes nn ideal receiving set and is capable of plotting up distant ‘ sta tions. For the higher wave lengths around 500 meters .the secondary cull may be Increased to an L 75.—New York Herald.
