for the limitationa of time, the scarc-
ity of labor, adverse weather, dis-
eases and pests, prevent him from
getting all those results which his
plans and his labor deserve. Yet he
must plan, and to plan intelligently
he must be possessed of the best
knowledge available. He must plan
to produce the greatest possible
quantity, the best quality, at the low-
est possible cost, and then he must
plan to sell his produce at prices
which will bring to him sufficient
encouragement' and reward.
Problems of Farts Management.
These are the problem,s of farm
management: Quantity, quality, cost,
and proceeds; and since they are
closely inter -related, they cannot be
studied separately, but must be con-
sidered all together. For example,
European farming and Canadian
farming are often compared to the
disadvantage of the latter. It is as-
serted, and it is doubtless true, that
the European farmer produces more
per acre than the Canadian farmer
does, and that the European acre is
increasing 1n yield, while the Cana-
dian acre is 'diminishing in yield. On
the other hand, the Canadian farmer
produces from three to ten times as
much per man as does the European
farmer. In Europe, because of the
dense population and the relative
scarcity of land, production per acre
is the measure or efficiency. In Can-
ada, because of the scarcity of men
on the land and the relative abund-
ance of land, production per man is
the measure of efficiency.- In Canada
the farmer has the option of applying
more labor to the same acres, and
producing more per acre, or apply -
Ing his labor to more acres. The
law of diminishing returns speedily
Induces him to choose his option hy-
working more acres. A low produc-
tion per acre is the inevitable result
of this choice.
Management Influenced by Returns.
The farmer's interest is served by
adopting such a system of 'farm man-
agement as will give him the great-
est returns for labor and capital ex-
pended. Unfortunately, that system
invariably results, in- a country
where there is unoccupied land, in
wasting soil fertility and diminishing
yields. The nation, as distinct from
the individual farmer, is concerned
In conserving its natural resources
and in producing the greatest pos-
sible amount of wealth; that is, In
maintaining the soil fertility unim-
paired and producing the maximum
per acre, Thus the interest of the
individual farmer and the interests
of the nation are opposed, so long as
the farmer can spread his available
labor over more acres than' he can
work at maximum productiveness.
Those interests will not be reconcil-
ed so long as economic conditions
furnish the farmer with inefficient
and costly labor, and costly
fertilizers,
No Excuse for Slovenly 'Farming.
All this, however, does not excuse
the careless and inefficient farmer.
Two farmers live and work side by
side. Both have the same numoer
of acres, and the same amount of
capital invested. To both the same
knowledge of good methods is avail-
able. One of them directs his labor,
arranges his crops, selects bis stock,
keeps them healthy and thrifty,
keeps his land clean, maintains his
soil fertility, sells his erectile° to ad-
vantage, and succeeds. The other 18

wrong plans. His stock are poor in
quality, and ill -fed. His fences are

tom shown is usually an itchiness,
which is followed by a slight form
of eruption, which soon assumes the
appeatance of little yellowish scabs
of a circular shape, the mass scales
forming a circular space; hence the
term "ringworm." A variable num-
ber of these circular patches may be
noticed on different parts of the
body. They are of a yellowish color
when fresh, but become lighter in
color as they grow older; the hairs
income bristly, seine break off, and
some become spilt. When the ,dis-
ease is not checked the affected

Treatment
In order that the spread of the
disease anay be checked, it is neces-
sary that great care be taken to
avoid the conveyance of the virus
from the diseased to healthy animals.
Where practicable, it is well to re-
move all non-infectel animals to non-
infected premises. If this cannot be
done, the diseased animals should be
Isolated, and the premises in which
they had been kept should be dis-
infected by thoroughly sweeping and
dusting, and then giving a thorough
coat of an ineectieide, as a hot 10
per cent. of one of- the coal tar anti-
septics or carbolic acid, or a coat of
hot lime wash with 5 per cent. car-
bolic acid. •Tals precaution is desir-
able on account of the virus lodging
in stalls, bedding, etc„ and infecting
ether animals.
Local treatment consist in moist-
tning the scales with warm water
and soap, or sweet oil, removing
them in order to expose the unpro-
tected surfaces of the affected areas.
It Is good practice to burn these
scales. An insecticide, as tincture of
iodine, or an ointment made of two
irarns white hellebore mixed with an
aunce of vaseline, or, in fact, any re-
liable non-irritant insecticide, once
pa twice daily until cured.—J, H.

A Fly Spray.
A good fly spray can be made from
11/2 quarts coal tar dip, 4aa quarts
ash oil, 3 quarts coal oil, 3 _quarts
whale oil, ami 1½ quarts of tar.
Dissolve lbs. laundry soap in
water, add the ingredients of the
spray and bring the whole up to 30
gallons with lukewarm soft water.
This spray will keep off the flies and
prevent the coats of the animals
from becoming harsh.
The cows should be sprayed twice
a day—in the morning after milking
and in the afternoon when in the
barn for silage of green feed. Thirty
gallons of mixture will spray 40
rows twice a day for ten days.

Good Care Will Save many. Foals.
The best time to grow foals, and
the time when they will make their
la;gest gains is when they are being
carried by their dams. Many farm-
ers do not realize this, and begin
feeding the mare a proper ration
only after the foal is here. The
brood mare, when in foal, should be
fed a high protein ration, a ration
which is rich in muscle and bone
building 'material. This material is
supplied in the form of oats, bran,
and oil meal, as a concentrate, and
clover or alfalfa hay as a roughage.
As soon as the young foal arrWes,

TOILET WATER FOR THE HOGS
Thousands of dollars' worth of
good hog feed goes every year to
the feeding of mange mites and lice.
That is to' say, after the hoga have
fed on the grain, milk, pasture and
other good feed provided them and
have put it in the way of becoming
good bacon, the parasites swatming
over the animals' bodies take their
toll and reduce the victims' flesh
through discomfort and disease.
These parasites are more numerous
in cold weather, when the hair is
thick, but summer is an excellent
time to exterminate the pests that
remain over the season.
The instinctive habit of the hog
to wallow in water when the wea-
ther is warm may be taken advan-
tage of in applying treatment for
external parasites, department ex-
perts says. By medicating the water
in properly constructed wallows,
remedies for lice and mange may be
applied in a satisfactory manner
with a minimum expenditure of
money, time, and labor. If the re-
sults from the use of medicated
wallows are to he satisfactory, how-
ever, it is necessary to consider the
nature and +habits of the animals to
be treated and plan accordingly.
If conditions are such that hogs
may exercise choice in the matter,
they invariably select Shallow water
in Which `to wallow. If the nostrils
can be kept above the surface, easily,
the hog will. lie down on . its side
and roll, then get up and repeat the
operation on the ether side until the
entire body is wet.
The proper depth of liquid in the
wallow depends upon the size and
numlber of hogs using the wallow.
For pigs weighing from 40 to 80
pounds, the wallow should be charg- !
ed with liquid to the depth of about
3 inches. For hogs from 80 to 150 '
pounds, 4 inches is sufficient. The
medicated liquid should never be so
deep that the hogs are afraid to lie
in it. For a number of hogs of
Varied sizes, a depth of from 8 to
4 inches' is most practicable. No
medicine should be added until the
hogs have had three or four days to
get accustomed to the wallow.- It
should not be kept medicated for
more than about 48 hours at a time,
as the hogs can get well soaked in
that time, and constant application is
liable to irritate the *in. After
that, medicaments may be added at
intervals of a weekor ten days.
Crude petroleum is eee of the sim-
plest remedies that chit be obtained
, for the purpose, and ie the only one
that will eradicate both lice and
mange with one treatment. No heat-
ing equipment is necessary, and any
kiwi of reasonably good water can be
used. The oil- apparently does not
injure the animal if the freshly oiled
hogs receive proper care and atten-
tion. 'Unprocessed crude oil, as it
comes from the wells, is probably the
most effective crude oil dip. How-
ever, processed crude petroleum,
known to the trade as fuel oil, Which
is the residue from manufacturing
gasoline and other light hydrocarbons,
is commonly used and is effective in
eradicating lice and mange. As a
rule, the -thinner the processed crude
oil, the better it is for a dip or wallow.
