Was IL The Wheat ?

W - ~ = ~ "
Breeders Gazette.
To the Gazette:-The writer has
with interest read the articles IN
the Gazette on the subject OF iced
ing wheat to hogs, and as none OF
them cover our own experience OF
the past summer, l send this letter.
We had from seventy-five to one
hundred young pigs come in April
and May. We fed the sows ground
wheat made into elop, and ear corn.
When the young pigs were about
six weeks old we turned sows and
pigs into the pasture lot, making a
pen 1920 for the young pigs to go
into, where we fed them two or
three times a day, good rich slop
made of ground wheat; we also
gave them charcoal and salt occa-
sionally, and they did as we'll as l
ever saw young pigs do. But along
in the latter part of July we
noticed one of the young pigs was
quite thin and weak in the hind
legs, but stood around. We put it
in with some others where we could
care for it better. Shortly after
this we noticed another with its ears
swollen almost to the tips. About
this time we had choice SOW with
six pigs, which we were feeding TOR
the county fair. to be held the last
of August, and we noticed that she
and the pigs were not doing well.
We had bought some two hundred
bushels of wheat with some cheat
in it, and had it all ground up to-
gether, and were feeding it in slop
to her and all of the other sows and
pigs. We finally moved this SOW
and six pigs where we could give
her better care and more exercise,
and yet we could not see that she
and pigs were doing any better
One evening we found her hind legs
swelled just above the ankle joints.
We applied some remedies but went
out the next morning and found her
dead.
This told us that something was
wrong, and from this on we kept
losing pigs. At the same time we
used all of the modern remedies
known, for we had the modern
writers Oh this subject, but all ap-
peared to do no good, and we came
to the conclusion that we had dis
ease among our hogs. At this time
we had nothing on hand but our
brood sows and boars. The brood
BOWS which we had bred for fall pigs
were afflicted with abortion, and we
did not get one single sow to farrow
as we had expected. We lost three
of our best brood sows and three OF
our best boars, and some fifty of our
spring pigs. Imagine our feelings.
We had clearly surroundings,
and had just built a modern hog
barn with lots attached. We be-
came discouraged and could do
nothing but wait and do great
deal thinking. A number of other
feeders in the neighborhood that
were feeding ground-wheat slop
were losing their spring pigs. The
question with us was what was the
cause? The writer had some ex-
perience from a neighbor losing
some miclh cows by feeding wild
hay with ergot in the rye which
was among it, and after some inves-
tigation among the medical works
within my reach, have come to the
conclusion that the wheat we
bought and had ground and fed to
our pigs had ergot among it. Some
pigs showed signs of fever and lung
troubles, and a lingering death,
while others showed signs OF morti-
fication and sudden death.

Thirty-nine women have their
names at the heads of as many

array of newspaper talent that can

the work of publishing and editing

Rotation In the Garden.

There is decided advantage in occa-
sionally changing the; location Of the
garden The crops in the garden re-
quire heavy manurinR. AS they occupy
the land every year there is no chance
to- Seed with clover, and the soil,
though rich enough, becomes too heavy
for profitable working. Where clover
sod is pldwed under the soil is friable,
and holdS.moisture WITHOUT becoming
sodden. Many farmers do not think of
changing their garden spot until
spring., fhepait is toolate to make the
soil rich enough +. for gardening pur-
poses; but if clover ley is top dressed
heavily with manure in the fall, and
then plowed early in the spring, it will
be rich enough to grow most kinds Of
garden vegetables. Such a plat of
ground that had been frequently in
clover will be less weedy than one that
has been always used as a garden

If we study the market reports, we
shall find that in general quotations
are much higher for the creamery than
for the dairy butter; this has given
rise to an Impression quite generally
held that in some mysterious way the
butter made in factory is better than
it is possible for butter to be that is
made on farm. Now, this is entirely
erroneous. Not only is it perfectly
possible to make as good butter as,can
be made on farm, but it is matter of
no great difficulty and does not require
an expensive or elaborate equipment.
The principles that govern the manu-
facture of good butter are the same in
either case. Their observance will re-
suit in good butter on the farm just as
surely as their neglect ,Will result in
had butter in the factory.-Rural
