FARM AND GARDEN.
HOG CHOLERA REMEDY.
Official Report on the Treatment and Pre-
ventIon OF the Disease.

Official Report on the Treatment and Pre-
vention OF the Disease.
With estimated losses of between
$40. 900 and S25, O00,0 900 from hog
cholera and swine plague in the United
States, the discussion of the treatment
and means of prevention of these dis
eases in a bulletin issued by the agri-
cultural department is of great value
to the farmers of this country.
The bureau of animal industry has
been conducting an exhaustive inves-
tigation of this subject and finds that
the agents which destroy the germs of
one of these fatal diseases are also eff
fective in destruction of the germs of
the other Both are spread by infec-
ton and their course varies from one
day to three weeks. Both are caused
by bacteria. The germs of hog chcl-
era, says the report, are very hardy
and vigorous, while those OF the swine
plague are very delicate and easily de-
stroyed The latter are found to be
present in practically all herds of
swine, but the former must be intro
duced from infected herds.
The most efficient virus remedy
tried by the governments agents is
the following: Wood, charcoal.
SOulUHI dhO oil IL
mony sulphide, one pound each;
sodium chloride, sodium, bi-carbonate
and sodium hyposulphite, two pounds
each. These are to be completely
pulverized and mixed, and "a daily
dose of large tablespoonful for
each 200 pounds weight of hogs.
given. The medicine may be used
also as a preventative of these dis
eases. It should be put in the feed of
the whole herd. To insure successful
treatment the animals should be kept
in dry and comfor TIA BILE quarters away
from drafts of air. Five or six
months should be allowed to elapse
after an outbreak before new hogs
are purchased or any of the old herd
sold.
The report recommends rigid
quarantining of newly-bought hogs
and the prevention of their joining
those already on the farm for at least
six weeks. During the warm months
of the year the swine should have
plenty of young grass or clover;
crushed or rolled wheat should be fed
to the growing animals.

About Home-Dressed Beef.

Western dressed beef could not com
pete with home-raised beef if the west
eru beef was not of good quality. Much
as has been said in regard to the mo-
nopoly of the markets by dressed beet,
the fact is that it is of excellent quail
ity compared with thai which has been
furnished the consumers by butchers
who have accepted old cows, poor
steers and other animals that have been
out of condition for the butcher in
many ways. When the farmers begin
to raise choice" beef, by using beef
producing breeds. they will be able to
compete with western beef without
difficulty. 1t Is a sad truth. but lack
of quality in home-raised meat has
given up the markets to western
ready-aressed beef = Troy IN. W

Charcoal for Corn-Fed HOES.

a diet wholly of corn is very hard
to digest. If food does not digest in
the stomach it must sour, for its tenn
perature is always at 9S degrees,
which is extreme heat for a summers
day. When souring of the stomach
occurs, it is remedicd by feeding char
coal. This is not, however, a perma-
nent remedy. The charcoal is carbo-
naceous. and therefore the larger part
of it is like the corn. 1t is the potash
mixed with it that corrects the acidity.
But the better. way is not to let the
stomach get sour. Feed even the fat
tening hogs some fine wheat, millings
with milk and few sliced beets daily.
This will keep their digestion good,
and when food digests it does not sour
on the Stomach.-Rural World.

drought. where the finer grasses do not
thrive. It has creeping roots like
couch grass, and serves well to hold
the banks of bitches and to strengthen
turf of sandy soil. It has been favor
ably reported on by the Mississippi,
North Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Louisiana and Wyoming stations.
Awnless bronze grass (also kno Wn as
smooth or Hungarian brome) remains
green in winter in the south, where it
is esteemed for grazing. 1t grows well
in cold climates, and Canadian reports
speak very highly of this newly intro
duced grass both for its nutritive quail
tiles and luxuriant habit of growth.
It should however, be introduced very
cautiously, as it makes long, strong
underground root stocks, which are
difficult to eradicate.

HANGING FEED RACK.
A Convenient Thing for Farmers Where

A Convenient Thing for Farmers Where
Sheep Are Kept.
The usual method of feeding sheep
has number of disadvantages. When
fed from the floor adjacent to their
pen, the lambs are quite sure to be
found walking all over the hay and
grain, and making themselves gen
orally at home in the uttermost parts
of the barn. The sheep, moreover,
wear off the wool from their neclxs and
disfgure themselves when feeding
through openings in The side of their
pen. Where the fodder is thrown down
from the floor above the pen an ar
arrangement such as is shown in the
illustration may be found serviceable.
1t is a hanging rack with Stats all
around it, and made narrow at the bot
tom, so that the flock can reach even

thirty less than last year, but the

of the college, according to the re-
port now amounts to SOL, 632. This
fund is nearly all invested in school
and municipal bonds. and pro-
duces an income of about $50, 900 a

Judgment in Cattle Feeding.

Cattle feeding and handling is a
large subject and only general prin-
ciples are to be laid down. No hard
and fast rules for feeding are now
known. and doubtless none ever will
be known, is the conclusion of the
Wisconsin and Connecticut experiment
stations. 1t is nevertheless true that
the man who exercises the largest
amount of good judgment, based upon
all the most advanced science can
bring him, and who tries to put into
practice the knowledge thus acquired.
will be much surer of success than one
who works blindly. There may be no
best breed. no "best" ration and no
best" way of handling dairy stock.
but there are poor cows, uneconomical
rations and bad ways of handling, and
the man who learns to avoid the bad
and choose the better is well on the
road toward the best.
