0 HOW TO PREVENT j ' LOSS FROM WORMS \ Known as Kidney Worms in Hog Raising Which May ' _ Cause Damage MEANS OF PREVENTION FOR CURIOUS PARASITE Hogs Commonly Infested With Them Throughout the Snufl.AVn Bi'iFnn wvKiiiviU MUCtlUO. In the southern United States hopes are commonly infested with roundworm or parasitic nematodes known as kidney worms (Stephanurus dentutus). These worms may reach a } length of 2 1-4 inches, but generally are not more than an inch and a half long and about an eighth of an inch in diameter. In color they are grayish or yellowinu white, mottled or streaked with black. They may be found in the kidney or the surroumfing.fat, not infrequently in the loin muscles and neighboring constructive tissues, and sometimes in various localities?body cavity, lymphatic < lands, pleural cavity, liver, etc. Usually they are in/ lospfl in UlViioVi nnntnin V." ? ??** sides the worm n mass of pus and germs. The damage caused by the parasites varies .with the number of worms, their location and the presence or absence of associated germs. Particularly serious damage may be caus? ed when the kidneys,_the ducts leading from the kidneys to the bladder, or the liver are involved, and pluging of tho portal veins by the parasites may resut in fatal attack of colic. Symptoms of kidney-worm disease are variable; loss of appetite, emaciation, swollen abdomen and lameness of the hind quarters are not nmommon. ^ The life history of the kidney worm so far as it has been worked out is as follows: The adult worms produce! eggs, which pass out of U . body of the host in the urine. Apparently propa-! gation is possible only in the case of, those individuals which are so located that ti e eggs may reach the kidneys,' the passages from kidneys to bladder,' or the bladder, (.'inside the body the, 'eggs hatch, ami the larvae thus set' free, after undergoing a certain . amount of development, are ready to enter the body of ahost, .necessarily a hog, as only swine are known to be i enl.lW i infnei ofmn ti'if h 4- V-* t o t-w* %?r? % owi;J\,VI iw J 111 vol ca c i v /11 wiiu llll^ site. rrhe larvae may either penetrate the skin or be swallowed v?5.il> food or drink. As determined by experiment, '*/n the former case the worms finally locate in the kidney or in its neighborhood, whereas if the larvae are swaD lowed they become located in the liver. Prevention Only Known Remedy. No satisfactory medical treatment is known for kidney worms, so that the only way of combating the parasite is through preventive measures. A As far as possible hogs should be kept in clean dry quarters. Damp muddy pens and mud wallows should be abandoned. Concrete floors will aid in reducing the chances of infection if frequently cleaned and kept dry. In some parts of Asia hogs are kept on slat floors, raised above the ground, and thus escape serious infestation. Rooting should he prevented by ringing the nose. Hogs apparently affected with kidney worms should be isolated from the healthy ones. Hogs 011 pasture should be frequently ? changed to fresh fields which have , m been under cultivation since their I a. Inst craziner hv hoes. I y r-> o ? ?/ ~o ? I ?V The question is sometimes asked M** -whether hogs affected with kidney / worms are fit for food. If the animal is not so seriously infested as to rentier it unfit on account of general poor condition ,the meat is perfectly fit for food, after the portions containing the parasites and the surrounding tissues have been trimmed out. o Make sowing of radishes and lettuce for fall use once a week during September. Have all fallen fruits picked up promptly. They contain insects and diseases that will give trouble next1 year. Three good varieties of fall apples to include in your order for fruit trees: Magnum Bonum, Delicious and Senator. The best time for sowing lawn grass es in the South is in September and early October. Do not let the fall pass without making a good lawn. | Invigorating to the Pale and Sickly The Old Stntid?rd jrenern! strengthening tonic, orovf'S tasteless chin tonic, dnveu out ^lalarift-enHcbe* t he Mood.rndbuilds uf the hem. a true locic.

By mixing high-moisture and lowmoisture wheat together, a methodwhereby part of the damp wheat of* this years' crop can be put into good condition was demonstrated in an experiment at Baltimore which wag directed by a grain-standardization specialist of the department in cooperation with the Gambrill Manufacturing Co., of that city. The experiment described was performed to determine if it would he possibly or feasible to handle damp wheat in such a way that it would not he necessary to put it through a commercial drier and yet insure its. keeping safely in storage or during shipment. For tuis experiment, one ear of Pn-i eiflc coast white wheat containing! 1,098 bushels was mixed with one car; of eastern red winter wheat c.ontining 1.120 bushels, and put into storage in an elevator bin. On July 29, samples taken from the white wheat while it was still in th% car tested 9.7 per cent moisture. Samples taken from the red wheat on July '31, while his wheat i was also still in the car ,tested 15.1 J per cent. These wheats were thoroughly mixed on August 8 and the mixture was then put into storage in an elevator bin and allowed to remain' i there until August 0, when it was transferred to another bill. Samples, taken from the wheat at the time it, was transferred tested 12.9 per cent moisture for the red wheat and 12.2 ner cent for tVio u?v?!<n t<i? . v v. * * V_ TT Jll W I IV." c\ L lilt" 1 ' wheat a'ms allowed to remain in the second bin until August 10 when it was transferred to a third bjn.

THE HOBJLY HERAI was 12.5 per cent and of the white ; wheat, 12 per cent. While the grain wa# stil in the cars the red wheat tested higher in moisture by 6.4 per cent than the white wheat. By August 6, or three days after the wheats wert mixed, enough of the moisture from i the damp wheat Uid been transferred to the dry wheat so that the difference in their moisture content at that time was only seven-tenths of J per cent. By August 10 or one week after the i wheat had been mixed, the difference in their moisture contents had been re-, ^ duced to only one-ha!f of 1 per cent, i In order to have a record of the temperature changes in the grain during this experiment, four electrical thermometers were placed at different depths in the bin into which the mixture was run. No appreciable change in temperature was noticed during the transfer of the moisture from the red to the white wheal . The mixing of damp and dry wheat will facilitate the handling of the wet wheat this year. The miller who buys wet wheat and has some dry wheat to, mix with it can obviate some of the; extra work in handling the dampi wheat to keep it in condition and also get it in shape for milling by mixing the two wheats together for a fewdays. This will also do away with part of the extra work in drying. One car of wheat can be dried down to a low moisture content and then mixed with another car of wheat with hich moisture content and time and labor be saved. If the mills or elevators are equipped so that they can mix and dry at the same time, this method will greatly increase their capacity for taking # care of large quantities of damp wheat . o The strawberry plant makes its greatest growth during the cool weath or of fall. Now is a good time, therefore, to give the strawberry patch a good application of fertilizer. Forj this purpose.there is nothing better than stably manure.

The constant drive for "thrift" is having effect not only among older people, but among school children, as seen by the report of sixty-one savings banks formed in as many Chicago public schools last year. The report shows that 13,638 children saved $27,115.94, and of this amount $11200.90 has been transferred to regular banks. Six pupils of the seventh and eight grades conduct the banks. Any sum from five cents up may be deposited, and as soon as a pupil's account amounts to $5 it is transferred to a regular bank and an aecount with the pupil is opdfced. It is reasonable to suppose that rural schools will adopt the teaching of thrift as a subsidiary course. The money could be deposited in the local banks in savings departments to pay three or throe and one-half per cent interest. When the account amounts to $25, it could be withdrawn and a $100 bond paying four and a half or fifty per cent could be bought. Many reputable bond houses will sell a hundred dollar bond on the instalment plan, paying the full amount of the interest on the amount deposited until the face value of the bond is paid in full. BUYING CRIMSON GLOVER SEED On advices from the United States department of agriculture, Clemson College has several times this summer urtred farmers to be vpvv envofnl in buying their crimson clover seed. A huge quantity of inferior seed has been imported into this country this year and farmers who buy such seeds and plant it are likely to make total failures of their crop. Try to be sure v)f the germinating qualities of the .seed before accepting it. In general, if is safe to say that crimson clover see<* of a bright greenish yellow will germinate well while a brownish color indicates poor germination. ? 4 -- ? ? i i CHEAP INSURANCE.

The pea aphis prefers the young, tender clover leaves and stems, but eventually covers the entire plant. Garden and sweet peas rapidly &ucoumb; clover, particularly red clover, is able to withstand considerable injury, but at times entire fields are de stroycd. Not infrequently the plant louse attacks alfalfa. In addition to the weakening of the plant, the louse deposits honeydew to such an extent that the plants in a badly infested field will he discolored on account of being covered with this sweetish fluid. The infested fields are not always killed outright, but heavy infestations apparently have a weakening effect, and probably much of the winter killings of clover can be traced back to th$ pea aphis. " -v. Methods of Artificial Control. The entomologists of the department, who shortly will publish ti bulletin on this subject, make the following statement as to artificial control: "In the clover field the pea aphis is ordinarily held in check by its natural enemies if it is apparent that this aphis is becoming unduly abundant 4 1. ~ -1 1111 uiu ciover snouui oc cut as soon thereafter as possible, since the cutting and drying of the clover will kill most of the insects. Clover which becomes coated with the honeydew of the aphides will not cure properly. Spring pasturing or early cutting back of the clover will check the multiplication of this plant louse." Fortunately, this species of plant louse has a number of natural enemies One of the most important of these is a fungus which thrives under moist conditions, and may appear after a few days of rainy weather in the summer. The fungus spreads with remarkable rapidity among the lice and frequently eradicates them. Pea aphids when attacked by this fungus first turn brownish and later become covered with the fungus threads. o The Next Pest Thing To The Pine Forest For Colds Is? Or.
