The females produce millions of minute eggs, which are scattered over the ground with the manure. These eggs are swallowed by young pigs, and the small worms hatch out in the intestines; they then pass to the liver through blood vessels, then to the heart and from there to the lungs, where they become much larger.

There will be modifications of the four points, which are given below, to meet your needs, but as long as you carry out the alms of the work you should get results. The four things necessary for success are: First, wash the sow thoroughly before she Is put Into the farrowing house, which has been scrubbed with boiling lye water. Second, confine sow and pigs to the farrowing house, if it is on polluted soil, until they are ready to move to a clean pasture. Third, haul, do not drive, the sow and pigs from the farrowing house or clean quarters aross polluted ground to the clean alfalfa or clover field where there have been no hogs for at least a year. Fourth, do not allow the pigs access to old pastures, lots, roadways or any place where they can become infested with worm eggs until they are at least four months of age. j ce-me- left-han- d n j , PRICE, UT, The county commission has appropriated $3500 for the erection of a new 40 by 80 foot block exhibit building on the lf Modern developments in marketing turkeys through pools and associations in the West are beginning to be felt in the eastern states.

Right now it seems that the raising of turkeys in confinement is to follow close on the heels of raising chickens in confinement The Pennsylvania ex- periment station has demonstrated the confinement raising of turkeys in a manner that exceeded all expectations. . Some growers in Maryland are also , raising turkeys in close confinement with marked success. ' - Even In haying, the world keeps moving and one might as well keep with it, is the opinion of H. B.

The lack of either of these essential factors, he asserts, will give rise to stunted growth, a greater susceptibility to disease and a higher mortality. The' absence of vitamin A causes a nutritional' disturbance called ophthalmia, the absence of B cause polyneuritis and the absence of D causes leg weakness. The best source of A and B In the ration is whole yellow corn meal It is advisable to use the meal from the whole grain because in the degermed corn meal a greater part of the vitamins have been lost with the removal of the germ. Cod liver oil is also an excellent source of A, whereas wheat bran is an excellent source of B. Two sources of the D vitamin are cod liver oil and sunlight Since the sunlight Is not always able in sufficient amounts, especially to birds in confinement it Is advisable to add 1 per cent of cod liver oil to the mash. Although a chick ration may be complete as far as protein and minerals are concerned, unless ample amounts of these important vitamins are present, the poultryman will be unsuccessful in raising the chicks to maturity.

J. Grayson in 1903. On the night of December 31, 1927, after a strong northerly wind had carried thick clouds of dust over Victoria and blown the finer particles southward over Bass strait, there were heavy but irregularly distributed falls of red rain. Mr. Chapman estimated the amount deposited in Balwyn, a suburb eight miles east of Melbourne, at 51 tons to the square mile; the commonwealth meteorologist, H. A. Hunt, estimated the deposit at 24 tons to the square mile. The red dust on this occasion was exceptionally sticky, as the Innumerable diatoms nitzschia and cocco-nestill contained their endoch-romThe red stains on leaves and flowers In the gardens were retained for days and even weeks. The impressions on glass Indicate that each raindrop was coated by a thin film of the dust. On November 3, 1920, after a northerly gale, showers of red rain fell at 7:00 p. m. and after 9 :00 p. m. The amount of the red sediment collected in a vessel In Mr. Chapmans garden indicated a fall of 64 tons to the square mile, or. If It had been equally distributed over Victoria, a fall of nearly 6,000,-00- 0 tons In that state. Both the minute reddish flakes of sediment and the diatoms and sponge spicules show that the material had been derived from the arid regions In the northwest of Victoria and In central Australia.
