But to try to recreate a pcrsefiilltty--
by looking at books nnd rings and
even houses, or by following the foot
steps of the grent man, Is really a
hopeless tnsk. The spirit of Burns
lives rather in the homely wit of the

even more vividly In the Ayrshire

In order that losses by accident may
be prevented and the period of use

purposes, lengthened, breeders want
hogs with strong, dense bones. Since
cereal grains are low In mineral ele

often fed largely or entirely on grain
I rations, so that their bones are soft
and easily broken. Rations of corn

| Because of the high protein and
lime content, alfalfa and clover hay
may be fed to advantage to mature
breeding hogs, and in the spring green

CURE FOR 'DENTIST FRIGHT"
Nervous Fatigue Suffered by Patient
Result of Unnecessary Btraln of
Expecting a Hurt. »
- r Tliatfc curious fear experienced by
many known us "dentist fright" Is al
together unnecessary, according to
doctors.
"The fatigue which results from an
hour or more of this dentist tension
is too well known to need descrip
tion," says Annie Payson Call, the
well-known teacher of nerve training.
"Most of the nervous fatigue suffered
from the dentist's work is In consei
quence of the unnecessary strain of
expecting n hurt, and not from any
actual pnln Inflicted. The result ob
tained by insisting upon making your
self a dead weight In the chair, If you
succeed only partially, will prove
this. It will also be a preliminary
menns of getting rid of the dentist
fright—that peculiar dread which Is
so well known to most of us."
So well known Indeed to some of
us as fa> shut out the sunlight for
weeks before the fatal date, the dread
Increasing steadily, till by the time the
chair Is reached a state of tension bus
been attained that preclude* the possi
bility of letting ourselves "go dead."
But, says a well-known neurologist,
one can drop ail this by a little effort,
nn>l say to himself, "I will not cry
till I DID hurt." In fact, he cannot
only acquire the ability to become a
dead weight in the chair but will final
ly give no more thought to the den
tist's appointment than to a date at
the golf club.

FACTORS IN BEEF CATTLE PRODUCTION
(By W. U BUZZARD, Department of
Animal Husbandry, Oklahoma A. and
M. Collar*, Stillwater.)
To the man who undertake!* to In
troduce live-stock production Into his
system of farming, he must hare an
object In view. Home definite, well
organised plan to work to.
In Introducing beef cattle on a farm,
several important question* present
themselves:
X. What provision has been made for
bousing cattle; are there good fences
around the pasture nnd plenty of
rooiny paddocks near the barns; these
are certainly Important
2. How many cattle will the farm
support; this Important consideration
should not be overlooked —"better a
little understocked than overstocked."
3. What crops and what system of
cropping should be planned to supply
the most suitable feeds? Good, per
manent pasture and alfalfa crops are
a valuable nsset to any live-stock fnrm.
The rotation of the field crops should
be of such n nature crops of the
silo will always be proved.
4. How will the production from the
herd lie disposed of to the best ad
vantage? The disposal of the offspring
from a beef-cattle herd will depend
upon the type and quality of cattle
raised, also how well they are grown
out. If purebreds, the offspring will
be sold lnrgely for breeding purposes.
CATTLE LIKE THESE NEEDED TO RELIEVE FOOD SHORTAGE.
FEASIBLE WIDTH OF ROADS
First Deputy Highway Commissioner
of New York Tell* of Troubles
Encountered by Him.
Most of the roads built In New York
by the state are 10 feet wide. When
money was voted for the highway sys
tem It was on the basis of approxi
mately $13,000 per mile. This was In
11)12, and $13,000 was n low figure
even for that date. Under present
conditions It Is obviously Impossible
to complete the system ns planned
then, and extra width Is a serious ex
pense. 11. Eltlnge llreed, first deputy
hlKhwuy commissioner of New York,
recently stated that only by the strict
est economy, by substituting different
classes of pavement within certain lim
its of cost, and by using federal aid,
will It be practicable, to have all the
Important roads brought together Into
a good highway system. It would be
far better, he says, If there were suffi
cient funds to build them 18 feet wide
for two lines of traffic and 24 feet for
three lines. The use of motor ve
hicles Is steadily Increasing and they
are being constructed wider. Hence
they require pavements where vehicles
at least 90 Inches wide can pass one
another comfortably and frequently.
Eighteen feet Is probably the narrow
est width that permits this, according
to Mr. Breed. Especially Is this true,
he says, In the case of concrete roads,
because the transition from the hard
concrete surface to the earth shoulder
and back again becomes really danger-,
ous In some SOIIB on account of the
rut that traffic usually wears along the
Joining line.
MILEAGE OF CONCRETE ROADS
There Were 19,000,000 Square Yarda
of It In 1914 and Only 364,000
Yards in 1909.
The mileage of concrete pavements
In the United States has Increased rap
idly. and It Is likely to continue to In
crease. There were 10,000,000 square
yards of It In 1014 and only .'MM,OOO
square yards hi 11100. The principal
advantages of concrete pnvements are
said to be durability under ordinary
traffic conditions; a smooth, even sur
face; absence of dust; comparatively
small cost of maintenance until re-

newals are necessary: availability as
a base for another type of surface if
desirable; attractive appearance.
The durability of concrete roads has
not yet been fully proved because there
are no old pavements In existence. The
condition of those which have under
gone several years' service Indicates
they wear well. .
The disadvantages of concrete as a
road surface are Its noise under horse
traffic; the wearing of the necessary
Joints in the pavement, and the ten
dency to craclc, with Its consequent
rapid deterioration; the difficulty ol
repairs when these become necessary.
The State Convention of the Fed
eration of Laoor met in Salisoury

days. ,
They must be pushed along and devel-'
oped as fully «s possible: Bolls gen
erally sell best at from one to two
years old, while heifers usually sell
best at two years past In calf.
Many men have a notion It Is neces
sary to have a reputation to sell pure"
bred live stock. „ .
A reputation Is a big asset, but tha
best asset of all Is the righf kind oil
stock. One Is necessary to the other,
and the reputation naturally Is found
ed on good stock.
GOOD USE FOR INSECTICIDES
Bpray Cresol Around Roosts, Dropping
Boards and Nests to Exterminate
Little Mites.
Cresol, a derivative of coal tar. Is
probably the best base for Insecti
cides that are to be sprayed around
the roosts, dropboards and nests to
exterminate mites, and under houses
and other places for destroying the
breeding haunts of fleas. One part
of cresol Is added to from 20 to ,30
parts i>t water. There are a number
of mite paints on the market of simi
lar composition that can be recom
mended. It Is only necessary to di
lute any of these concentrated solu
tions with water and spray the af
fected parts.
ERADICATION OF TICKS
Essential to Agricultural Develop
ment in the South. •
With Parasite Out of Way Bouthem
Farmers Can Produce Cattle Free
From Many of Handlcapa of
Other Sections.
(From tlie United States Department of
Agriculture.)
The eradication of the tick is essen
tial to the development of a sound ag
ricultural system in the South. Live
stock Is essential to such a system.
With the tick out of the way, the
South can produce cattle free from
many of the handicaps of other sec
tions. Land Is still cheap and much
of It Is making no money for anyone.
The pasture season Is long, feed can
be produced at minimum cost, and
only Inexpensive shelter Is required.
The tick, however, sucks from ev
ery animal on which It lives blood that
could be sold for ment or which would
go to make milk.
The tick, by compelling the enforce
ment of costly and annoying quaran
tines, adds to the cost of getting cat
tle to outside markets. Tlcky cattle
are worth less at home and bring' lesa
In the quarantine pens at the packing
houses than free cattle. Tlcky cattle
cannot be transshipped and must go for
-Immediate slaughter. Free cattle can
be transshipped to markets where the
prices are higher or can be sold aa
feeders. Tlcky cattle bring only what
the local packing house cares to offer.
The difference in price between tlcky
and free cattle runs from H to 1 cent
per pound, or $. r > to $lO a head.
The tick kills Imported purebred
stock nnd thus makes It hard for the
South to rnißo any but scrub cattle.
The banks will not lend money on cat
tle In the tlcky country, although they
are glnd to help farmers In tick-free
counties to buy purebred animals and
tfevelop the dairying and cattle-ralslng
industries. The tick, by making it un
profitable to raise cattle on cropped
farms, cuts down the manure snpply
and reduces the fertility of land and
production per acre.
Tho tick, by keeping down farm
profits, keeps down the value of farm
land. The tick Is an enemy of the
farmer, tho merchant, the banker, and
the people of the South.

HOOVER PREPARED
TO TAKE OVER WHEAT
** -
CONTROL WHOLE 1917 HARVEST
IF FOUND NECEBBARY TO
L REDUCE PRICES.
ESTABLISH BUYING AGENCIES
Must Conserve Supply.—Prices Will
Be Fixed Eliminating Buying In
Futures and License All Mills and
Elevators.
Washington.—The food administra
tion announces Its plan for controll
ing wheat, flour and bread, revealing
that the government Is prepared to
take over the whole 1917 wheat har
vest If necessary to conserve the sup
ply, obtain Just prices for America's
fighting forces and their allies and re
duce costs to the general public in
the United States.
Establishing of buying agencies at
all the principal terminals, licensing
of elevators and mills, fixing of a
price to be considered fair, regula
tion of the middle men and of grain
exchanges, , wfth the elimination of
trading in futures, are the chief fea
tures of the plan.
The minimum price of $2 for wheat
fixed by Congress does not become
effective until next year but the ad
ministration proposes to exercise a
very thorough control over the year's
crop through power conferred under
the food and. export control bills.
The Announcement follows:
"The disturbance to the world's
commerce and supplies has caused a
greater disruption of the normal mar
kets for wheat than any other cereal.
"1 —As a resolution of certain of
•the world's wheat producing coun
tries, by either belligerent lines or
short shipping, the normal determina
tion of the price of wheat by tha ebb
and flow of commerce is totally de
stroyed.
"2—ln order to control specula
tion and to secure more equitable
distribution of the available wheat
and flour between their countries, the
allied governments have placed the
whole purchase of their supplies in
the hands of one buyer. Also the
European neutrals are now buying
their wheat through single govern
ment agents Instead of in the nor
mal course of commerce., Therefore,
the export price of wheat and flour,
and thus the real price, If not con
trolled will be subject to almost a
single will of the foreign purchaser.
"3 —In normal times American
wheat moves largely to Europe In the
fall months. This year, the short
age of shipping necessitates Its dis
tribution over the entire year. There
fore, there is danger of a glut In our
warehouse Bystiem over a considera
ble period.
"4—There are large stocks of wheat
which cannot be drawn upon by the
allies during the war, but in the
event of peace or defeat of the Sub
marines these would be available andt
might seriously demoralize the de
mand for American wheat.
"s—lt must be clearly understood
that the guaranteed minimum price of
$2 per bushel for wheat, set out in
the food bill, does not apply to the
1917 harvest b«t only to the 1918
harvest and then under conditions
which must be elaborated. There Is,
therefore, no determined price for
the 1917 harvest.

BEST ATTENTION FOR GILTS
They Bhould Be Given Plenty of
Range and Forage 80 as to De
velop Good Constitutions.
(By W. J. CARMICHAEL, Illinois Agri
cultural Experiment Station.)
After tfie gilts have been selected
they need further attention, but not
necessarily more expensive attention
than the market animals require. They
should be given plenty of range and
forage, BO as to develop good consti
tutions, and given rations which are
not very fattening In character.
Less corn and more high protein
feeds should be included In their dally
! illowance, because they are being kept

ferent purpose than are the market
hogs. Bogs for the block must be fat

to Mil well, but those for the breeding
pen should not be very fat to produce
well.
Many people are deceived and buy
hogs almost on the basis of their
weight alone, and they really lose sight
of the size of the frame which supports
the weight, consequently they not in
frequently buy a COO-poijnd sow which
is very fat and in reality of no larger
, frame than a smaller-looking 300-pounff-
Indlvldual.
Keep the sows, then, in a good,
thrifty condition, not overfat, and let
them have all the necessary range, if
i possible away from other stock, espe
: daily horses.
Some say that the sows are but •
half of the herd, or, looking at it from
the other angle, that the boar is a half
of the herd, and it is fair to assume
that this la true when we come to con
sider the character of the offspring, for
they receive one-half of their charac
ter* from each parent. One very promi
nent breeder has stated that if the boar
( Is an average boar he Is half of the
herd, but if be la a real poor one or
-4n exceptionally good one he is all of
It. There is a good bit of truth to that
statement.
