Contributed. by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Vermin cause considerable annoy., tuce to swine, and their presence in .;rge numbers is destructive to pro - ,os. If the swine have a good wal- aw hole they can free themselves of ue pest during the summer, but .+uthuut the assistance of a wallow, other aid must be given or the i r will flourish. The pigs will be . :,.J.yed and the fences and pens eeu through the rubbing of the ▪ in their attempt to free them- • es from their tormentors. Crude Oil Will Bring Relief. The application of crude oil to the pig's skin will make the lice let go. he crude oil may be applied through. the use of a rubbing post equipped to deliver oil when the pig rubs against it, or it may be applied with an oil can in the i.anus of a handy man. If an oil can is used, the spout is drawn along the pig's back Trona the ears to the tail and sufficient oil released to moisten the pig's skin all over. .A good time to apply oil is when the pigs are standing at the teed . trough. Colony houses should be well sprayed with a two per cent. solution' of creolin in the autumn and again. in the spring.—L. Stevenson, Direc- tor of Extension, O.A.C., Guelph. KEEP WELL WATER PURL. How the Contamination of Farm Wells Can be Removed. There are thousands of shallow wells and cisterns on farms that are poorly protected against contamina- tion. Most of them are poorly pro- tected by boards with cracks between them that allow the surface drainage and filth to get in. A good concrete top that will protect the water supply can be made by anyone with only a little effort and at a small expense. It only takes one sack of cement, two cubic feet of sand, and three and a half cubic feet of screened gravel to make a circular top four feet in di- ameter and four inches thick. The shape of the top would depend on the well, its locationand the taste of the owner. If it is to be circular, lay out a circle on a smooth, level piece of the ground, the exact size of the top desired. Carefully excavate inside ;the circle to a depth of four inches, this to be the form and is much more easily constructed than one of wood. Cut out a cylindrical block of wood and place where the the pump pipe will pass through. Provide four bolts to fasten the base oe the pump to concrete top, and pieces of woven wire for reinforcing across and two pieces of smooth wire for the edge of the top. How to Handle the Concrete. Provide a platform and mix the concrete to a quaky consistency, not too wet. Use a proportion of one sack ei cement to two cubic feat oY sand and three and a half cubic feet of screened 'gravel or crushed rock. Sprinkle the form so it will not ab- sorb neueh moisture from the con- crete, fill the form about half full of concrete, place the reinforcing and set taa bolts, and then fill the, form with concrete. Finish the surface so that it is .lightly higher :here the pump will be placed and with a slight slope to one side so that no water will drain back into the well. To cure or season the top, after the concrete sets, cover with a layer of sand and keep wet for a. week or ten days. After about two weeks it may be taken out and set in place on the curb. Where the curb is water- tight below the ground surface and it extends a 'oot or eighteen inches above the surface with a concrete top such as described, the danger of sur- face contamination will be reduced to a minimum. How to Purify the Water. If the water is offensive to sight, smell or taste, it is in all probability unsafe, or at least highly objection- able, for domestic use. In such cases boiling all the water required for drinking purposes is a great sage - guard, forit will kill any disease germs that may be present, but it will not make the water a good one. Half a small, teaspoonful of hypo- chlorite (chloride of lime), rubbed up with a little water and well stirred into a barrel of the water, is another precaution for . the destruction of germ life, that is nowadays .advo- cated. But a water impure from the presence of excretal matter is not to be recommended, even when one or other of these precautions is careful- ly carried out. Fresh Water and -Shade Aid , Pork Production. Good live stock men agree that. plenty of 'fresh 'water and shade are imPortaht factors in the successful propuction of pork. Hogs will drink often if water is available. Water helps digestion and promotes fat pro- duction. A mineral' mixture of char- coal, hard wood ashes, air slacked lime or ground limestone and salt in front of the hogswills keep them in better tone. If a herd of good cows could speak„ it is quite likely they would claim as'. theirs the farm which they so nearly paid for. Cows need an abundance of fresh; air, but it is unnecessary to expose them to the north side of a barb -wire; fence during cold and inclement' weather in order to get it. Cow cone fort demands that fresh air be; brought into a warm and well lighted barn. A warm barn may contain pure air and a cold barn may have impure and vitiated air. 509000 Harvesters Wanted "Fare Going "—$15 to WINNIPEG.

Neptune Holds Court on a]Famous Canadian Ship REMARKABLE photograph of the ceremonies that took place when the Canadian Pacific steamer "Empress Ap of France"crossed the line on her recent "round -the -world" tour. Neptune accompanied by his royal barber, and other officials came aboard in the early morning and duly initiated those who were crossing the line for the first time. His Ma'esty's stay on board was short, but the same cannot be said of the. little god Cupid. He came • on board early and stayed until the end of the trip, as may be gathered from the fact that out of a total of 800 passengers on that famous 30,000 mile cruise, no less than forty came to the end of the trip as engaged couples.
