PIG Pm POINTERS.

MEDICINE can best be given MIXED
with the slop. Drenehing a pig is a
difficult thing to do.
WHEN straw is used for bedding it
should be changed regularly every few
days. 1t soon becomes foul
You've sows often become pig-eaters
because their teats are sore. The
nursing pigs irritate them; remove the
cause before blaming the sow.
Pics to be profitable must not inherit
an hereditary faint 4 good constitu-
ton and great power of digestion and
assimilation are Of first Importance.
WHEN feeding a bunch of cattle it
pays well to have a number of pigs
running with them Medium sized
animals are the best for this purpose.
IT is folly to attempt to make good,
well-havored and wholesome pork by
feeding the pigs upon all the debris of
the farm. Sound food alone makes first
class pork.
THUMPs are a disease, an unnecessary
one. 1t is only the pig that eats large
messes of rich food and takes no exer-
else that ever has them. Exercise is
the only preventative-there is no cure.
EMAsCULATIoN should, if the weather
permits, be done at the youngest age
possible. The operation does not per-
ceptibly check the growth of a very
young pig, but it does when much over
two months old
NEVER attempt to raise more pigs
than you can raise right A nalf-
starved pig never yet paid for his keep
If you have food enough upon which to
winter twenty-five pigs and have fifty,
it would be better 10 give twenty-five
of them away than try to carry the
whole number through.
SWINE plague or hog cholera, which
ever il may be, is to be dreaded and
avoided if possible. Many herds in the
past have contracted the disease by as
sociating with a recent purchase.
Avoid all danger from that source by
quarantining all newly purchased pigs
for thirty days. This precaution may
save you hundreds Of dollars. = Col

How to Ellie a Hand Saw.

In fling a hand saw considerable
skill is necessary SO the teeth win be
uniform IN size, and cut well without
running to the right or left Of the
board. The hand which holds the file
must be guided by reason and expert
ence, else the file viii bear upon one
tooth more than upon the other when
the stroke IS made, with the result that
one tooth will be cut away while the
other is not reduced, and this inequali-
II in fling soon becomes apparent if
the same person and his eccentricity
continue to file the saw. The best
way to remedy a saw that is out of or
der is to screw it in a wise with a
straight edge, and file all the teeth to
an average height h bringing them to
a level on the straight edge. When
this has been done the straight edge
may be removed and the file used in
such way as to equahze the shape
and length of the teeth. II totally ig-

slack TO the halter while he is down but
keeps it tight and out of his way,
drawing it up again as soon as he rises.
1t gives him a chance to run back and

astride the rope just in front of the

slack to allow them to lie down without
having to draw up weight f, as they are
very likely to want to lie down and are
not apt to get their feet over the halter.

ABOUT BROKEN LIMBS.
How to Apply Bandages Made of PIaste

How to Apply Bandages Made of Plaster
of Paris
1t often happens that some animal
upon the farm has a leg broken. Not
always will it pay to try to save the
animal In case Of fat hog or one of
the cattle, it would be better to kin
the animal at once, as the meat would
be good for use if killed soon as the
fracture is made, but W nall ami
mails plaster of paris bal applied
to the fracture viii in few weeks
time make the limb as good as new.
Several instances of this kind have
happened in my own experience, and
the plaster bandage has always result
ed in a complete cure.
Once a pet lamb had its leg broken.
Instead of killing tia quantity of the
plaster was wet up with cold water,
the leg well creased to prevent the
plaster sticking to it when the time
came to remove the bandage, and a
thick coating applied directly to the
leg, first strengthening as well as pos
sible. Cloth bandages We're then wound
around it and securely tied. After the
plaster had set, the lamb was given it's
liberty. After few days it began to
use the limb little, and at the end of
a month the bandage was removed and
the limb found to be perfectly sound.
A hen was found with its leg broken
in trap last spring, As it was d
choice one it was treated as above, and
although it was longer IN healing, it
finally came out all right and shows no
eir .,f i+e a4 la n
time
To apply the plaster, it should be
spread upon a strip of cloth after be-
ing wet, as otherwise it could not be
made to stay in place while the ban
dage was being applied Ella Rock

FRESH FARM NOTES.

HAUL ont manure as it aecumulates
and spread on the helds. Do not let il
pile up and fire fang.
CLEAN up rubbish about the farm.
Bits of rails, limbs of trees, ends OF
boards, etc, will soon be covered with
snow.
IL building temporary corn cribs
have the floor at least foot above the
ground, so rats and mice cannot harbor
under it.
PArcH up the cracks in the chicken
house. COW barn, sheep shed, etc.
Cold winds are detrimental to stock
raising.
GET potatoes in the cellar or pit as
the time is nearly here wher cold nights
will injure them. See that the storing
place IS well ventilated
WHEN the machinery used in putting
ia the wheat crop IS needed no longer.
carefully clean, grease bright metal
surfaces and put away in dry place
IN selecting seed corn remember
that the varieties will cross-fertilize
at long distances. Select seed from
corn which has grown apart from other
varieties.
TIE best method of keeping roots
where one has no regular root cellar is
to bury on dry ground. Cover with two
feet of earth and see that all water that
falls on the pit can get off readily.
LAYING out and putting in tile drains
is now in order, where the ground is not
too hard. Better have all the main
lines surveyed and the tile leveled be-
fore covering. Imperfectly laid drains
are useless.

The SHEEP BUSINESS.
Valuable Hints for Those Who Think of
Engaging in 1t.

Valuable Hints for Those Who Think of
Engaging in 1t.
Prof. Craig has given some valuable
pointers to those who are about to en-
ter the sheep business. First: Study
your farm conditions and learn exact
~ what sheep will thrive best upon it.
Second: If you are not able to purchase
even a small flock of pure bred or high
graded sheep then put all you can adj
vantageously in pure bred ram and
after that do the best you can in buy
ing ewes Start right, even if upon a
small scale The sheep viii rapidly in
crease. Third: In purchasing a ram
get one fully developed, strong in bone,
straight shaped and thoroughly typical
Of his breed and sex. Fourth: Do not
purchase sheep that you have to trust
in for proper development. 1t is only
the experienced breeder who can fore
cast development. Fifth: Never take
an ill-doing sheep even if it is cheap,
with the expectation that it will be-
come all right. Sixth: In selecting
sheep if possible handle them so that
you may know how much of their form
is due to themselves and how much To
the shears SEVENTH Select as critical
ly as you can to chosen type. Uni
formity is a cheap feature for you to
buy and yet valuable one in flock.
Eighth: There is no sheep that en-
bodies perfection in sheep qualities.
Judging between different sheep is
checking of weaknesses and bal
ancing Of qualities Be inclined to-
wards the sheep that appears to be
better every time it catches your eye.
Ninth: The purchaser will find it to
his interests to select from field sheep
and thereby shun those that have been
fitted for show. Tenth: The best time
to buy is usually in the fall Provision
may be made with the seller to have
the ewes served by ram Of different
breeding from the one you buy and
thereby you add another seasons use
to the ram of your flock.

In computing the income from live

and in our practice in stock growing
we should consider that poor food
