PARASITES AFFECTING ANIMALS Farm ayimals are attacked by many parasites and a number of these do very great damage, much more so, as a matter of fact, that the average own er realises The depredations of these parasites upon the live stock of the state of Georgia undoubtedly result In millions of dollars of loss a year. If there is any means, therefore, by which some of the better known and widely disseminated may be controlled, it should be of general interest to the farmers of the state. For instance, horses and mules are commonly attack ed by lice. The symptoms are infesta tion shown by itchincss and loss of condition. The treatment is to clip off the hair and bathe the animal with the following solution: Four ounces of to bacco stems boiled in one gallon of wa ter for thirty minutes and applied twice with a week intervening. Flies are very irritating to horses and mules. The common biting or stinging fly closely resembles the house fly in ap pearance. The eggs are laid in fresh manure. The treatment of fresh ma nure with borax in the proportion of one pound to sixteen cubic feet of ma nure will reduce the injury attributable to this pest very materially. The bot or horse fly proves very irritating to horses and mules, though it can not be said that they seem to cause any ap preciable injury. The flies which lay the eggs‘should be destroyed whenever they are observed about work animals. Keeping the horses and mules well sup plied with salt tends to reduce the !n --festation of bots in the stomach which is an important matter. Horses and mules are often affected with worms. Two or three ounces of turpentine in one quart of raw linseed oil may be given as a drench at one dose. This medicine should only be given on an empty stomach. This is probably the cheapest and most effective remedy to use. Cattle are attacked by various para sites, the worst being the cattle tick. Most farmers are familiar with the character of this pest and therefore it does not seem necessary to describe it in detail at this time. The tick may be controlled or destroyed in various ways. Rotating pastures is effective. Hand picking and currying is a practice which may be resorted to where only a few animals are kept. Hand dressing also may be followed in the case of a small herd. This method consists in remov ing the ticks by means of a brush or sponge and burning them. The animal may then be smeared with tick oil or cottonseed oil and kerosene equal parts, or some other oily substdnee. In the case of a few animals spraying for ticks may often be conducted with satisfac tion. Among the materials which may be used for this purpose are solutions of coal tar disinfectants. It is very im portant where spraying is resorted to to see that the animals are thoroughly wet. Dipping is the Ynost efficient and eco nomical means of fighting the cattle tick, and a vat should be constructed where this pest is very troublesome and where a considerable number of cattle are kept. The arsenical solution Is the best thing to use in the tat. Thb for mula is composed of 24 pounds of sal soda. 8 pounds of white arsenic. 1 gallon of pine tar, and water sufficient to make 50 gallons. Anyone desiring to manu facture this mixture should write to the editor of these columns for detailed in structions. Plans for the construction of dipping vats will also be furnished free of cost on application. The horn fly is another parasite which often attacks cattle. The bot fly, also known as the warble fly. causes the big openings observable in the backs of cattle in the early spring. The grubs inside these openings should be squeezed out and destroyed. If everyone follow ed this practice systematically, the in jury caused by the bot fly could be ma terially reduced. A repellant to the horn fly is any oily substance, such as three parts fish oil and one part of kerosene oil. Lice commonly infest cattle. A 3 per cent solution of cresol used as 'a spray or in the dipping vat should prove effective. The application may be made by hand where there are only a few animals. Lice also attacks hogs. They are a pernicious pest to this class of stock. The coal tar dips and disinfectants are generally efficient against this pest when used in 2 per cent solutions. They may be applied with a brush, with a spray pump or used in the dipping vat. Crude petrol eum applied to the rubbing posts or in the spray pump or dipping vat is often effective. Kerosene emulsion is also recommended. A systematic flght should be made on lice on hogs as the animals will not thrive and do well when the parasitic Infestation from this source ' becomes bad. Mange occasionally occurs in hogs. The best method is to scrub the animal with strong soapy water followed with some of the coal tar disinfectants. They must be made unusually strong to ac complish the purpose in view. The round worm is often met with in hogs, ana the hogs frequently vomit them up. A good formula to use in fighting this pest is santonin 2.5 grains, areca nut 1 dram, calomel 5 grains and sodium bi carbonate 1 dram. These ingredients mixed constitute one dose for a 100-pound hog. Feed on an empty stomach and follow with a dose of Ep som salts at the rate of one to two ta blespoonful* in the course of twelve hours. Sheep are affected by various para sites One of the most troublesome to ' this class of stock is the stomach worm. A good treatment is to give on an empty stomach or.® tablespoonful of gasoline well mixed with one-half pint of raw linseed oil. This is for an ani mal weighing 75 pounds. Larger ani mals will require two or three times this dosage. The treatment should be repeated on two or three successive Dogs are attacked by’ lice and flees, and are also quite subject to mange. Round worms, hook worms and tape worms also affect this class of animals. It is difficult to prevent or treat a trpe worm satisfactorily. Intestinal worms ' may be destroyed through the use of Areca nut in doses of two to ten grains for puppies, and larger doses for older animals. Two to ten grains of thymal in doses or two to ten grains in a cap sule followed by a full dose of castor oil is a good treatment for hook worms. For lice and fleas dip the dog in a 2 per cent solution of cresol. FEEDING COTTON MEAL TO CHICK ENS. J. W P., S*n Ahotnto. Tex., write*: How much rottoneeed meal can be safely fed to hen* and bow is the best w«y to feed it? Will it affevt the fertility of the egg? Only a comparatively small amount of cottonseed meal has been fed by us in the dry mash used here at the college, not over 5 per cent to 10 per cent. This has proved quite satisfactory, however, and our hens have done well when r«- , celving the ration containing cottonseed THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1917. meal to the extent indicated. It was, of course, balanced up with supplemen tary concentrates such as corn or bran shorts or wheat waste and a small amount of meat scraps. We have fed as much as 20 per cent of cottonseed meal in the wet mash and it has proved very satisfactory and effective in in creasing egg production. In other words, we have found that it is not as essential to use animal protein as it may be thought necessary on some occasions. Cottonseed meal is more valuable now as a source of nutrition for poultry and for the purpose of supplying protein than it has been in many years past. This is due to the fact that such a systematized effort is being made to save meat and meat products. Therefore, if cotton seed meal should not give quite as good results as would be obtained from sup plying a part of the protein needed in the ration from meat scraps, it would prob ably be just as effective and economical, cost considered. We think it important not to use cottonseed meal in excess of the amount indicated and that it must be properly combined with other con centrates so as to provide a balanced ration. In so far as we were able to observe, the cottonseed meal ration did not affect the fertility of the eggs, and we saw no objectionable results from its use, though we fed it in the propor tions indicated for a comparatively long period of time. PRESERVING BEEF BY BRINING. W. E. F., Lyerly, Ga.. write*: 1 have a young beeg to kill and wish to know bow ' gJ can preserve tbe meat. The best way to keep beef would be through corning it or drying it. Beef Intended for corning should be fat. Se lect those portions of the carcass such as the rump, the brisket and other cheap cuts. Divide until each piece is about six inches square. The meat must be thoroughly cooled, but not frozen. With each 100 pounds of meat use 8 pounds of salt. Place a layer of salt one-fourth of an inch deep in the bottom of the con tainer, then a layer of meat. Continue this practice until the container is full. There should be enough salt used to cover the top. Allow this to stand over night. Add to each \IOO pounds of beef 4 pounds of brown sugar. 2 ounces of baking soda and 4 ounces of saltpeter dissolved in a gallon of luke-warm wa ter. "Weight the meat down so as to keep all of it under the brine. In warm weather water used for making brine should be boiled and then cooled. Sani tation is a very important matter in the handling of all kinds of meat, and this 1 is particularly true of beef which is to be corned as indicated. Tn warm weath er the brine , should be frequently changßd for fear it will become sour or ropr. Twenty-eight to forty-eight days is usually sufficient time to cure the meat by this method. The round, or thigh, makes the best dried beef. Prepare the meat by cut ting it lengthwise so that in dicing it will be cut across the grain. For each lOn pounds of meat use 5 pounds of salt. 3 pounds granulated sugar, and 2 pounds of saltpeter. Mix these ingredients to gether very thoroughly. Rub the meat all over with one-third of this mixture. Pack the meat tightly into a Jar or cask and after three days rub again with another third. At the end of another three days rub with the remainder of the mixture and repack in the fluid which has been allowed to accumulate in the jar or cask. After three more days the meat is ready to remove, smoke and dry. HANDLING Ol'R SWEET POTATOES AND CORN. J. H. M., Stilton, Ga., writes: 1 would like to know what to do with such crops a* sweet potatoes that were planted for the government. What price are they giving for sv.eet potatoes, corn. etc. No price has been fixed by the gov.- ernment on potatoes or corn and none is likely to be fixed. It is not the ob ject or purpose of the food admnistra tion to fix prices except where it be comes absolutely necessary. Sweet po tatoes seem to be selling quite freely at 3t to $1.25 per bushel and corn in this section of the state is selling around 82 per bushel. Gne could hard ly ask for better prices than these and it should not be a difficult matter to finda market for any surplus of either of the crops available you mention. In spite of the fact that we have several million bushels increase'.in the sweet potato crop this year, we are not over supplied with them if we take good care of them ®o as to have them for use during several months of the year. We should be able to substitute sweet potatoes for Irish potatoes, thus lessening the necessity of importing Irish potatoes. If we use sweet pota toes instead of Irish potatoes there will be a greater demand for this crop and it can be disposed of to better advan tage. As nearly as 'we can figure out the situation we will need from six to eight million .bushels more corn than we have grown in the state this year. ■llHllllllHlinilßinHlHlllHlllHinilHllHlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllinß It's Hard tp Tell Which IS The YOU can seldom determine the real value of a a shoe by its appearance.

S FRIEDMAN-SHELBY BRANCH International Sho* Company Makers :: St. Louis wiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiniiiiiiM SINKING OF millS IN IID TO RECRUITING Enlistments Pour Into Atlanta Office Following Disaster at Sea That the sinking of the American transport Antilles and the torpedoing of a destroyer belonging to the American patrol fleet has caused a fifty per cent Increase in enlistments in the navy, ac cording to a statement issued by the Atlanta recruiting office. Prior to the sinking of the transport recruiting in this district had taken a slump and was averaging about four recruits a day. For the last several days the enlistments have been pouring in. The recruiting office for the marine corps announced that apprentice boys between the ages of sixteen and eigh teen years of age are now wanted for the musician branch of the service. The following enlistments were an nounced by the marine corps: Douglas L. Paine and Ebby K. Reid, both of Atlanta. The following are Tuesday's enlist ments in the navy: Leonadus D. Horne, Cypress, Fla.; Albert E. Raynor. Ben son, N. C.; Robert L. Exum. Leesburg. Ga.; Alex W. Hadden, Harlem, Ga.; Carl Nettles, Seffner, Fla.; .Tames D. Whig ham, Camilla, Ga.; Louis Ffrwler, Palat ka, Fla. Hence, there will be no difficulty in dis posing of the corn crop to good advan tage and at a remunerative price to the grower. No doubt you recall that there was an objection raised by the farmer to the government fixing prices on any of his crops. The increase in wheat pro duction was so essential that it was necessary to fix a price on it. It prob ably costs the grower 79 cents to pro duce a bushel of wheat. A fixed price of 32 per bushel should therefore al low the farmer a good profit. It is evi dent that under present conditions the farmer will be able to obtain a good profit on all of his operations. « • « PEANUT MEAL FOR HORSES AND MULES. K. L. S., Moultrie. Ga., writes: Is pea nut meal a good fed for horses and mule* while they are working? Is it good for cows and hogs? We can sell our peanuts for SIOO per ton, and can buy meal at ahovt $35 per ton. Is this a good trade, or would it be better to let the hogs graze the peanuts? Peanut meal contains about 15.4 pounds of digestible protein. 15.3 pounds of digestible carbohydrates and 22.6 pounds of digestible fat. Mixed with corn this provides an excellent ra tion for work stock. Corn and peanuts could be mixed in equal proportions. Probably you would obtain better re sults, however, from a mixture of two thirds corn and one-third peanuts. Corn, as you know, is low in ash mat ter and in nitrogen as well. Therefore the addition of peanuts to a ration of corn for work stovk is a considerable advantage. This is an excellent feed for dairy cows, and it is also good for hogs. For cows you might feed one half corn and one-half peanuts. Possi bly a larger proportion of peanuts could be fed to this class of stock. For hogs the half and half mixture is a very good ration. We would certainly think that when you can get SIOO per ton for peanuts that it would pay to sell them and buy the meal at $35 per ton. The oil of no value to your stock and it is now needed for edible purposes as the world is short of fat. Where hogs gather the peanuts in the field, as you know, they fatten quite readily but the fat is soft and oily and it is generally necessary to feed them for from two to four weeks on corn in order to harden off the fat and make the hogs kill out to advantage. SOWING CLOVER WITH RYE. W B. 8., I'anon. Ga.. writes: How would it do to clover with rye on uplnnd that I am sowing now? What variety of clover *ced would you suggest? There is no objection to your sowing some clover with your rye, provided you can get the seed in the ground im mediately. You could of course sow several types of clover. If you wish simply to use something to make a bottom for the rye crop with the in tention of cutting it for hay, we be lieve there is nothing better than crim son clover. If you wish some kind of clover that will remain on the land after the rye is off and give you sev eral cuttings in a favorable season, there is probably nothing better than alsike. Sweet clover js good for graz ing purposes and should therefore be used in pasture mixtures. Red clover is probably not so hard a a alaike. One expecting to sow’ clover should lime the land, uaing from one to two tons of crushed raw rock per acre. The lime should be put on before the plant ing is done if practical and harrowed in. A few days later apply 100 to 200 pounds of acid phosphate along with a sack of cottonseed meal. If you use a grain 4 drill with a grass seed attach ment. the clover seed can be distribut ed at the i-vne time the rye is planted About twelve pounds of alsike clover should be used and about eight or ten pounds of the other varieties mention ed. M’ADOO EXPLAINS INSURANCE PLAN OF GOVERNMENT Every Man Who Dons Uniform Entitled to SIO,OOO Protec tion for His Family, Secre tary Tells Gordon Selectmen ATLANTA .JOURNAL BUREAU, Camp Gordon. Oct. 24. —“The family of every man who went down on the Antil les will be paid $25 a month for the next twenty years,’’ Secretary McAdoo told the soldiers at Camp Gordon today, as he urged every one of them to take ad vantage of the government’s offer and insure himself under Uncle Sam’s war insurance plan for his fighting meh. ‘‘Each one of you is insured for $5,000 today, if you should lose your life." said the secretary. ‘‘But if you will take out insurance before February 15. 1918, you will be protected against either death or accident to the sum of SIO,OOO, which will cost you only S7O a year. “And,” he ended, ‘‘we will make the kaiser pay for every cent of it!" Camp Gordon was ready for Atlanta's distinguished guest . when he reached here this morhing. For the first time since the camp was opened, evry officer and man of the Eighty-second division was drawn up in martial array on the drill ground. OLIVE DRAB IN HORSESHOE. The far-flung line of olive dra.b was arranged in the shape of a horseshoe, with the newly-erected speaker’s stand in the neck of the shoe, the negro selectmen forming one end. There must have been between 10.000 and 15,000 men on the field, and as the string of automobiles hove into view along’ the red highway and every man came to attention, they made a beautiful sight. Mr. McAdoo, with the reception, com mittee from Atlanta and the members of his party, had stopped at division headquarters, where they were joined by Major General Eben Swift, and the members of his staff. All then drove directly to the drill ground. Here Mr. McAdoo, General Swift and Mayor Candler mounted the speaker's stand. Beside them was Jimmy Hare. Leslie’s famous war photographer, who began to take snapshots of the secre tary of the treasury and the thousands of upturned soldiers’ faces, as they stood there in the bright October sun shine, with a biting wind sweeping against them from the west. As General Swift, wtih a megaphone, introduced the secretary, Mr. McAdoo motioned to the curving line to come closer and the men crowded around the little stand until they were packed dozens deep, a solid mass around the four figures on the pinnacle. For twenty minutes Mr. McAdoo spoke; frequently he was interrupted with cheers. WILL MAKE KAISER RUE IT. ‘‘The kaiser brought America Into this war,'* he began, “and we are going to make him rue the day .he did it. will make him rue the day he destroyed the Antilles. We will make him feel the full punch of American bayonets!" A roar of applause broke forth, and again a cheer swept the crowd when Mr. McAdoo said. “It is as much an hon or to be a selected man as a volunteer. I am proud of you and T am proud of America. Don’t you make the mistake of thinking that America is not behind you. The strength of the entire United States government is squarely behind every man who wears the uniform!" The troops listened attentively as Mr. McAdoo explained the insurance plan of which he was the father. “When you put on a uniform you can't buy insurance,” he said. “That is a great wrong. And because the com panies won’t sell you insurance the gov ernment has provided that all of its sol diers shall be well taken care of. that every one of theni shall be entitled to SIO,OOO worth of insurance from the gov ernment. “The rate of insurance shall be the actual cost of insurance in peace time. From the time you don this uniform you are entitled to SIO,OOO, which costs you S7O a year if you are twenty-one years old. I want every man here to take advantage of this opportunity. It pro tects you and yours whether you are killed or Injured. The insurance must he taken out before February 15, 1918. The United States government is giving you the greatest opportunity a country every gave its soldiers.” Toward the close of his speech Mr. McAdoo made another point that brought a ringing cheer from the crowd. “We have some traitors in this coun try.” he said. “b«t we will hunt them out and punish them. While our boys are facing bullets at the front, we do not propose to have them attacked from the rear!" Poultrymen Here Choose Nashville for Meeting Os Association in ’lB After electing officers for the follow ing year, the Southern Poultry and Egg Shippers’ association at its closing meet ing at the Kimball house Tuesday morn ing selected Nashville. Tenn., as its next meeting place. The association had been in convention in Atlanta for two days. The closing session was featured by a discussion of rates and the election of officers, whose names follow: A. M. Cochran, Nashville, president; R. B. Kean. Shelbyville, Tenn., vice pres ident; Norman I. Taylor. Burnside, Ky„ treasurer; L. G. Smith, Shelbyville. Ky., secretary, and E. R. Coolidge, of Atlanta, assistant secretary. Charles S. Nesbit Is Named as Country’s Insurance Director WASHINGTON, Oct, 23.—Charles S. I Nesbit, superintendent of insurance oL the District of Columbia, has been desig nated by Secretary McAdoo as commis sioner of insurance in the government’s war risk insurance bureau. Mr w Nesbit, under the direction of the treasury, will have charge of the soldiers’ and sailors’ war insurance administration. Unwritten Law Sought In the Military Code WASHINGTON. Oct. 23.—Lawyer sharps in the war department are look ing for an “unwritten law” in the strict military code. Here Is their problem: In Texas an ex-soldier was arrested on his way home from camp wearing the uni form. The law prohibiting this is strict ly enforced. The offender showed < he bad no other clothes. He would either be arrested, he said, for wearing the uni form or for the lack of a uniform or other clothing. The sheriff went beyond the law and permitted the uniform, but I he is asking the war department to ’e-1 galtzc his actio.n as cases of this kind [ are becoming more and more frequent. HOKE SMITH’S SPEECH ON COTTON IS PRAISED Hon, Luther Martin Gives In teresting Interview to Elber ton Sar on Return Home .Honorablie Luther Martin. three times a member of the legislature from Elbert county, and former trus tee of the State College of Agriculture, who has been in Washington City mo.tt of the time during the administration of President Wilson, returned home Monday. Mr. Martin is enthusiastic about the price which cotton should bring, and declares that thirty cents a pound would not be excessive for cotton when compared to prices at which wool, corn, wheat and other things are selling. Mr. Martin heard the spech deliver ed September 13, in the senate, by Sen ator Hoke Smith, on “The Embargo and the Value of Cotton." Mr. Martin said that the embargo on cotton was. at that time, being unfair ly used to force down the price and cotton had fallen from twenty-six to nineteen cents a pound. Speaking of the speech. Mr. Martin said: “Senator Smith showed that cotton had not gone to Germany or Austria for two years; that England had for two years entirely controlled shipments to neutral countries of northern Eu rope. and only allowed three hundred thousand bales last year to go to Hol land, Denmark. Norway and Sweden. “He also showed that our govern ment would not interfere with these shipments, and that the embargo would not lessen the market for cotton. “He showed that the consumption of cotton since the war began had exceed ed production two million bales, ant that the surplus cotton, which was in the world at the beginning of the war. has been used up. “He showed that last year the con sumption of our cotton exceeded the es timate by the agricultural department of this year’s crop one million bales. “He showed that the demand for cot ton this year would be greater than that of last year and. therefore, the de mand for our cotton this year would ex ceed production more than a million bales, and said that if cotton was sell ing relatively as high as wool, corn and wheat, it would sell for thirty cents a pound. “The facts presented by Mr. Smith destroj’ed the argument of those who were depressing the price of cotton. Other senators, a day or two later, fol lowed upon the same line, and now the facts furnished by Senator Smith are being generally circulated all over the United States. “They have broken down the 'bear movement’ against cotton, and cotton is again selling for over twenty-five cents a pound. “We are all especially interested right now in the price of cotton, and all should appreciate how Senator Smith put together the facts and presented them to the senate to stop the ‘bears’ !n their unfair raid on the price of cotton. “No farmer should sell any cotton for less than twenty-five cents a pound.”— Elberton Star. 335 Embryo Officers Either Let Out or Have Resigned at Oglethorpe CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Oct. 23.—The CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.. Oct. 22—The weeding process in the training camp has now begun and so far 335 have either been let out or resigned, leaving the roster now standing at 172 officers and 3,504 cadets.
