BUSINESS BITS. 
Any of our readers anywhere who are 
interested In thrashing machinery should 
look it up and write to the Rumely Co., 
La Porte, Ind., for their catalogue. It 
will be gladly sent free for the asking, and 
will put. the inquirer in the way of pos¬ 
sessing a thrashing outfit of the highest 
type of usefulness. 
King Corn is coming with a message of 
prosperity and plenty to the growers of 
the king of cereals. He brings a notice of 
double profit to the corn growers of the 
world. Readers of The R. N.-Y. should 
write to McCormick Harvesting Machine 
Co., Chicago, U. S. A., for “King Corn,’’ a 
finely illustrated book which tells how to 
double the value of the corn crop. 
If the farmer knew how much time, 
labor and money he might save by having 
a “Jack of All Trades,” he would order 
one at once. It is a vast improvement over 
old methods and manual labor; the ideal 
power for the dairy. Pump is located out¬ 
side of building, the walking beam operat¬ 
ing pump through opening in wall. Send 
for circulars, giving full description. Write 
to Fairbanks, Morse & Co., Chicago. 
J. F. Otis, of Norfolk County, Mass., 
writes: “The past year was a poor one 
for potatoes, and the rot was so abundant 
in this vicinity that some of my neighbors 
found it did not pay to dig their fields, but 
from my little field ot three-quarters of 
an acre, on which I had applied Bowker’s 
Boxal to kill bugs and prevent blight, I 
harvested 178 bushels. This experience was 
a great surprise to both my neighbors and 
myself. 1 shall certainly use Bowker’s 
Boxal, and more of it. this season.” 
Lice on Hogs. 
Most hog breeders know the need of 
keeping a close watch to prevent the ani¬ 
mals from becoming infesLed with these 
pests. Bulletin No. 74 of the Lincoln, Neb., 
Experiment Station, gives detailed infor¬ 
mation with regard to hog lice, and prac¬ 
tical methods for gelling rid of ihern. The 
lice are blood-sucking insects, making the 
animal weak and susceptible to other dis¬ 
eases. The vermin are usually found back 
of the ears, along the neck, and under the 
breast. It is thought that they aid in the 
spread of such diseases as hog cholera, 
and immediate destruction of all lice on 
hogs so affected and thorough disinfection 
of their quarters are necessary to prevent 
the spread of the disease to other build¬ 
ings. Spraying and dipping are practical 
means of ridding hogs of lice, the latter 
method being the more satisfactory. No 
particular form of dipping tank is neces¬ 
sary. Any contrivance that will get ihe 
hog thoroughly wet will answer. Where 
large numbers are to be treated a swim¬ 
ming tank, working on the same plan as 
those used for mangy cattle, mentioned 
in The R. N.-Y., page 344, works well, but 
it is not wise to compel the hogs to do 
much swimming, as they are not naturally 
so handy at this business as ducks. In ad¬ 
dition to the prepared dips that are on the 
market the following is given: Whale-oil 
soap, one-half pound; kerosene, two gal¬ 
lons; water, one gallon. Dissolve the soap 
in boiling water, and while still hot add 
the kerosene and agitate thoroughly unLil 
cool, when the stock emulsion thus ob¬ 
tained should be of the consistency of 
tlnck cream, and without the presence of 
free kerosene. When ready for use d.lute 
with about 20 times its volume of water.

The British Board of Agriculture has 
made a definite standard allowing 16 per 
cent of moisture in butter offered for sale. 
Where this standard is exceeded the but¬ 
ter must be labeled as butterine, or some 
other designation implying that it is not 
pure butter. 
An Australian fruit grower reports a 
novel and successful method of destroying 
Codling moths. The bags used for strain¬ 
ing honey after the combs have been taken 
from the hives are hung in the orchard, 
holes being cut in the bottoms, and kept 
open by sticks, by whicli means the moths 
are captured. He states that since he 
adopted this method three years ago his 
fruit has been entirely free from the pest. 
It often bailies even the wisest physician to detect 
the cause of falling health and strength. In the 
great majority of cases, It is due to the presence of 
worms; and where these exist. l)r. D. Jayne’s Tonic 
Vermifuge will always effect a cure.—Ada.
