THE UTES , - , Fortunately with poultry the disease It should be remembered that the disease is confined to very old birds. Birds under a year old are seldom infected. By maintaining a flock in which the number of old birds has been kept at a low figure the danger of infection Is reduced., If, however, the premises are badly infected the house and yards should be given a rest for two years. The house can be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected,, and then be used, but to eliminate tuberculosis from the yards the resting of the yards is necessary. During the resting of the yards their cultivation is desirable. is not difficult to control. guinea will usually build her nest in the edge of a brier patch or under a clump of weeds, and while on the nest will cackle a soft and long cackle similar to the male bird, but not so loud. The male bird often stands near the nest and cackles while the hen is on the nest. When the hen gets a large nestful of eggs, she will get broody and go to sitting on them, if she is not broken up. When she goes to sitting she rises and flies from her nest when she comes off. Many dairymen ous ways to make use of Maurice powder in calf feeding. Baird, connected with Ohio State university, who has charge of a number of dairy calves now on feed, outlines this method: Use whole milk until the calf is two months old. This should be followed by a dry feed mixture, 300 pounds each, corn and cob meal, and ground oats bran, and 100 pounds oil meal. Two to three pounds of this mixture is fed daily. powder is added to the feed so the calf will receive one and pounds of the mixture. Feeding is made at mornk ing and evening periods. The powder is omitted when the calf reaches nine months. Mixed hay and a pound of dried beet pulp are used, and plenty of water is available at all times. Silage may be used, replacing the beet pulp. Plenty of salt Is supplied. Clean stalls at all times, and these stalls when cleaned should be sprinkled with lime, after which a plentiful supply of bedding is applied. The eye of the master fatteneth his flock, is always a part of the scheme of animal feeding. Experiments with powder diluted in water have caused calves to get off feed, and have affected digestion. Skim-milpowder is well supplied with minerals needed by the calves. The cost of feeding and raising a heifer is so great that only good stock should be considered. Stock from se-free herds, kept and raised under sanitary conditions, Is the most desirable. skim-mil- . , A physician watched the results, of constipation for 47 years, and believed that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, constipation will occur from time to time. Of next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible, hence his remedy for constipation, known as Dr. Caldwells Syrup pepsin, is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the system and is not habit forming. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant-tastinand youngsters love it. Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for anybodys system. In a practice of 47 years he never saw any reason for their use when Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as promptly. Do not let a day go by without a bowel movement. Do not sit and hope, but go to the nearest druggist and get one of the generous bottles of Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, or write Syrup Pepsin, Dept.

CALDWELL LEARNED IN 47 For Galled Horses Milk Powder for Calves -- LEADS Garlic may have its place In the dietary, but that place does not Include the milk supply. Most consumers, In fact, object seriously to milk tainted with its noisome odor and, ordinarily, only a few bottles of it need be left at their door to causa them to change dealers. Because of this, the dairy department of the New Jersey agricultural experiment station, New Brunswick, has suggested that dairymen take special pains to keep their cattle from Indulging in the pernicious Weed which causes the trouble. It has been found that even a very little partaking of this member of the onion family will heroine evident In the milk given by the cow shortly afterwards. Where milk purifiers are available to the milk distributor it Is possible to remove much of the garlic aroma, but since such devices are not in .universal use, various precautions are needed to keep the cows from the garlic plant. This is especially difficult in the spring just after the herds are turned out to pasture. One method of circumventing the difficulty is to turn the young stock out on pasture at least two weeks ahead of the milking herd. In this way the young animals eat off the weeds. When the milking herd does finally go to pasture It should be returned to the barn about noon every day for a few days and given a liberal feeding of hay. Several days may pass before it is safe to turn the herd out at night. After that the garlic has become more or less stunted in growth and the animals have lost their first tendency to eat everything that is green. In other words, they seem to become more particular in ' their eating. Surveys, made by the poultry department of the North Carolina State college, show that more than 53 per cent of all poultry flocks In North Carolina are infested with either lice or ' mites. These pests multiply very quickly during the hot months and for that reason control measures should be taken before the summer sets in, says Dr. B. F. Kaupp, head of the department The henhouse should be given a thorough cleaning with a 4 per cent coal tar dip. All cracks and crevices should be sprayed and the perches painted with a pure dip or creosote. New scratch litter and nesting material should be put in before the hens are allowed to use the house. If these precautions are not taken, the sitting hen will be killed and the small chicks will weaken and die. The adult fowl should be dusted with sodium fluoride. This should be used sparingly as there Is some danger of injuring the skin. A pinch of the material should be held between the thumb and finger and worked among the feathers. This operation should be continued until the emlre body has been covered, and should be repeated in five days if .all the lice were not killed. All brooder houses, henhouses or any place that the chickens roost should be gone over with the 4 per cent solution of coal tar and where possible the hens transferred to another house during the cleaning. Doctor Kaupp recommends that new houses be built, especially where the old houses have been In use over a long period and are thoroughly infested with the pests. The old houses should then be torn down and burned, he says. , Pal-freym- an 270-fo- Precautions Needed to Keep Cows Away From Plant. Preventive Measures Should Be Taken Before Summer. . Proper attention to feeding and care of the brood sows before and during the breding season has a big influence on the number of pigs one will be able to save, according to W. E. Carroll of the University of Illinois. A sow in thrifty condition and gaining rapidly a short time before she is bred will produce larger litters than a sow in thin condition. Because of this it Is desirable to feed sows a full feed of a well balanced ration for a week or ten days before they are bred. This stimulates the maturity of the eggs In the oyaries which are to, produce the litters of pigs. If the breeding is delayed until pasture Is gone, it will be well to include in the ration some good quality alfalfa hay, either as alfalfa meal or fed whole in a rack. Protein suppplements also are necessary. If skim milk or buttermilk is available a gallon of either of these daily for each sow, together with a ration of corn or barley or a mixture of corn and oats or corn, oats and barIf ley, will give excellent results. skim milk is not to be had, a mixture of two parts tankage, one part linseed meal and one part alfalfa will make a fine substitute. The sows probably s f to will eat about of a pound of this supplement In addition to a full feed of corn. Water, of course, should be available at all times. Where soy .beans are available It Is possible also to supplement the ration sows probably will with these, eat about a pflnd of the beans daily a head, in ca the soy beans are fed, a mineral mixture should be allowed.

SPANISH FORK Two teams of heavy horses from Provo each broke the state record recently in the horsepulling contest at the fifth annual Utah County Livestock show, in progress at Spanish Fork. The record was made on the dynamometer owned by the Utah State fair, which has been used in all official tests in Utah of recent years. It was in charge of George Henderson of the Utah Agricultural college. PANGUITCH Low bid for the contract to construct 0.79 miles of graded earth highway in Kane county, between Mt. - Carmel Junction and Kanab, was submitted by B. D. of Springville. Bids were opened at the offices of the state road commission recently. Under this bid the total cost of the project would be $21,405.12, while the engineers of the commission estimated the total cost of approximately $22,814.88. SALT LAKE The long continued cold weather of the past season has caused heavy winter losses among bee keepers particularly in the Salt Lake basin, according to reports received by D. H. Hillman, state inspector of apiaries. There have been only a few days since the first of the year that have been warm enough for the bees to take a cleansing flight and this has resulted in some losses while too light a packing has resulted in add. ing to these losses. PARK CITY High silver, content ore has been struck in the Park City Consolidated companys property in the Park City district, according to an announcement made recently by J. J. Beeson, vice president and manager. The strike was made 15 feet above the shaft present bottom of the and below the Roosevelt tunnel. A 4 foot vein was exposed. The vein when first cut showed 3 to 4 inches of ore, which gradually widened to 16 inches at the shafts bottom. BRIGHAM CITY The board of governors of the local chamber of commerce has appointed a special committee consisting of Claud Sloey, J. Leo Nelson and George A. Anderson to plan a campaign of encouragement of sugar beet acreage. A sheet of condensed information about the beet and sugar industry has been compiled and distributed to all merchants and business men that they may be advised and discuss the importance of sustaining and maintaining the sugar factory " in the community.
