On the average, therefore, the pigs In these record litters weighed 200 pounds when they had reached the tender age of six months. Many states are holding similar con tests this year, says the department, and It Is expected that the results will make a large number of converts to the principles and practices of better breeding, feeding and care, not only 1 for hogs, but for all kinds of farm an mals.

Botfly Pest in August During August, horses are annoyed to a considerable extent by the presence of botflies. Tttese flies are about the size of honeybees, and are most annoying to horses' legs. Botflies deposit small yellow eggs, and cement them to hairs at the time they are laid. During the late fall and early winter the eggs enter the horse's mouth. Later the eggs hatch In the stomach, and develop Into the larval form known as bots. They attach themselves to the lining of the stom ach, where they remain and consume some of the nutriment thai should nourish the horse. During late spring and early summer the bots pass out In the manure. They at once burrow Into the ground, where they undergo hanges In their life cycle, and soon emerge as fully developed botflies. Bots produce no definite symptoms. neither Is there any satisfactory treat ment that can be applied. Prevention Is easy, and practicable to a considerable extent. Every few days during the fall months all hairs should be clipped off that contain eggs of bot flies. By thus reducing the number of eggs the number of bots will be re duced. X novel Pigs on Rape Pasture Require Some Tankage Tests In hog feeding conducted by W. L.

A similar lot of pigs full red on corn alone but on rape pasture for 19 weeks made a final weight of 140 pounds. The average dally gain for the tank age-fegroup Is 1.1 pounds and nine- tenths of a pound for the lot full fed on corn alone.

"A better placer echoed his employer. "What wages are you to get?" "Six dollars a week." "But that Is not as much as you get here."

The plan of crib most popular In the corn belt Is the double crib, shown In the Illustration, with a drive way between two parallel sets of bins. The corn Is usually placed In the side bins.

In eastern states It Is not safe to make corn cribs more thun five or six feet wide, hut this dimension cau be Increased to eight or nine feet In western states of the corn belt.

About 17 per cent of the matured find their dairy animals In this country to the slaughter and packing United Statel plants, according to the If this Departmeut of Agriculture. number the to Is applied percentage on of matured dairy animals reported avfarms by the last census, and the erage live weights and dressing yields are used In calculating the bfef production, the result shows about 1.502,' 450,000 pounds of carcass beef dairy cattle during the year 1920. This quantity represents more than 23 per cent of the total beef production of tho United StRtes for that all the year. Probably 80 per cent of calves slaughtered are of dairy breedto ing. If this percentage Is applied the total number of calves slaughtered In 1920 and the resulting figure multiweight and plied by the average-livdressing yields, the amount of veal produced by dairy calves Is about 500647,-00- 0 pounds for the year 1920. The principal conditions which cause dairy cows to' be discarded for milk disproduction purposes are old age, ease, physical defects, low milk yield, and sterility. Many old dairy cows and others that are unprofitable as milk producers are fattened for a short period and then sold for beef. When properly fed such cows make rapid acgains, although the tendency Is to cumulate fat externally and In the body cavities rather than to produce a flesh. About 85 per cent of the cow carcasses are graded as common or lower, and the meat is used largely In the preparation of sausage and canned meat Bulls that are no longer desired in the herd for various reasons make np a part of the meat from dairy cattle. They are seldom suitable for dressed beef. 4i large proportion of the rounds being used for dried or smoked beef and the remaining portions of the car casses for sausage. While the quality of beef produced from mature cows and bulls Is of lower grade, that Is not necessarily true with respect to the veal obtained from dairy calves. Probably 95 per cent of the male and 50 per cent of the female dairy calves are slaughtered as calves. Most of these animals, If properly han dled and slaughtered while yofng,' pro duce a high grade of veal. way e Restored Her Hcali Worcester, HPH!!!i i feLtml and weak ve toe aT? kiSarf J1 Pened to &e .

Advertisement tion. One of for are the things During the hot summer months high producing cows are prevented from giving their normal supply of milk by carelessness of their owner In not supplying some one of the many necessary comforts for hot weather milk and butterfat produc- the most common of these is the furnishing of drinking water. A cow In milk requires about 100 pounds, or 12.5 gallons, of water dally, and henvy producing cows frequently double this amorfnt. During hot weather a cow must have the normal supply of wnter and an ndded amount necessnry for adjusting her snpply from normal to hot weather needs. The question of how often cows should be watered, when they are not kept with a constant supply before them, varleffwTth the condition of the weather, kind of feed, etc. It Is safe to say. however, that cows In milk should have water at least three times a day. It Is pointed out by successful dairymen that to be profitable a cow ought to produce at least 5,000 pounds of milk in a year. In producing this quan tity of milk, her butterfat would amount to about 200 pounds. In addition to the sale of butterfat, the skimmed milk, the manure, and the calf must be reckoned as of value. vto Ifs hard to do one'i wwk l"1 every day brings morning dull Urj throbbing backache, and i wkf feeling.
