Starve  the  hogs  for  21  hours,  then  div¬ 
ide  them  into  lots  of  five  and  mix  in  their 
slop  eight  grains  of  santonin  and  five 
grains  of  calomel  for  each  hundred  pounds 
of  body  weight.  Clive  just  one  dose  of 
this  medicine,  but  repeat  it  in  two  weeks, 
if  thought  necessary.  Keep  the  hogs  in 
clean,  sanitary  quarters  and  have  the 
watering  and  feeding  troughs  kept  clean 
if  worms  arc  to  be  avoided.  a.  s.  a.

Good  Records  of  Milking  Shorthorns 
We  think  that  one  of  our  dairy  Short¬ 
horn  cows  (Molly  Morris  1477(11)  has  a 
record  as  a  producer  that  is  worthy  of 
note.  She  was  born  about  the  first  of 
.Time,  1002,  and  dropped  her  first  calf 
when  about  two  and  one-half  years  old, 
and  on  the  7th  of  November,  1915.  she 
gave  birth  to  her  twelfth  calf,  all  of  them 
single  calves.  Eleven  of  these  calves 
have  been  horn  since  she  came  into  our 
herd  in  the  Spring  of  1906.  While  not  a 
phenomenal  milker,  slie  has  been  a 
profitable  dairy  cow  producing  around 
7.000  pounds  of  milk  per  year.  She  also 
has  shown  a  capacity  to  breed  on.  We 
1  ace  three  of  her  daughters  in  the  herd  ; 
he  more  than  offset  by  the  great  benefit 
of  improved  stock  increase  which  would 
result.  The  writer  would  offer  the  fol¬ 
lowing  suggestion  for  what  it  is  worth: 
M  by  not  grade  the  hulls  something  like 
milk- is  graded  in  New  York  Slate;  A.  B 
and  f\  A  representing  the  very  best  class 
of  hulls,  U  good  hulls  from  good  record 
cows.  (’  all  hulls  which  did  not  come  into 
above  classes?  If  this  could  he  done  some 
way  and  the  club  guarantee  was  behind 
them  that  each  was  what  it  was  sold  for, 
an  examining  committee  or  registering 
committee  or  something  <>f  the  sort,  could 
he  created  for  the  purpose  by  the  club. 
It  would  seem  that  something  of  this  sort, 
might  solve  the  problem,  and  he  of  great 
benefit  to  all  concerned,  and  buyers  espe-  What  do  you  think  is 
cially  would  know  what  they  were  get-  a  cow  that  bus  a  runninj

to  order.  The  work  and  progress  of  Hie  breaking  lip  on  inside  of  ankle.  She  is

Chamber  of  Commerce  committee  on  ag¬ 
riculture,  to  use  their  influence  to  better 
conditions.  The  above  refers  to  recent 
circulars  sent  out  by  New  England  rail¬ 
roads  to  the  effect  that  after  date  all  cat¬ 
tle  shipped  for  exhibition  purposes  will

either  by  freight  or  express,  and  the  lat¬ 
ter  will  not  take  any  unimal  weighing 
over  1.000  pounds,  This  will  mean  a 
hardship  to  all  exhibitors  at  fairs,  and  I  hav 
will  he  fought  to  its  limit.  Sales  plans  about  H 
for  coming  year  were  quite  fully  discussed  with  wl 
and  committee  appointed  to  make  this  a  another 
success.  The  question  as  to  how  best  to  I, ought

the  less  valuable  ones  might  be  sold  to  Thunr 
farmers  who  wanted  a  cheap  purebred  and  tin 
bull  for  common  service.  Another  view  seem  to 
was  that  it  would  be  for  the  benefit  of  have  bee
