Cough in Young Pigs.

Cough may come from sore throat OF
bronchitis in young pigs, as in other
animals, and may be chargeable to ex-
posture to cold and damp. With sore
throat the open mouth may show the
throat red, inflamed and swollen. With
bronchitis the cough is at first hard and
barking, and later soft and gurgling.
Both may be treated by clean, warm.
dry, well Uttered pen, in the case of
weaned pigs by warm, soft food, and
by five grain doses of muriate of am
mcnia four or five times day. A WOOL
en- rag tied round the throat or chest,
as the case may demand, will often do
good. and a teaspoonful of strong am
monia inside this cloth will usually
prove valuable as counter irritant. In
other cases the cough is due to worms
in the bronchial tubes of the lungs,
and in such a case the affection is
likely to attack successive litters in the
same pen irrespective of weather or ex-
posture. The temperature Of the body,
too, rarely rises above the normal Q03
degrees F.. The cough is wheeling or
rafting. and masses of mucus are
sometimes expelled by the mouth.
These masses should be carefully ex-
amined for the worms, one or two
inches long and the thickness of fine
white thread, which will give the GER
tainty of their presence in the lungs.
These cases should be treated by fumi-
cations with burning sulphur in close
building, the administrator staying
with the animals and letting the air in
or the pigs out whenever he finds it too
concentrated for his own breathing.
This should be done daily for half an
hour for week, and repeated again for
the same length of time after an inter-
val of a week. Advantage may also
be had from fifteen drops spirits of
turpentine in one-haH ounce sweet oil
daily for few days.-Prof. Law. be-
fore N. Y. Institute.

slant reminder Of the herd that once
persisted in the sea. Sometimes II
would seem that a part of that nero

flesh and fat, it is very proper to con-
slider this subject in relation to It's
healthfulness as an article Of human
diet as well as on the score OF econ
omy. Swine flesh is used by all nations
and people on this globe where 1t can
be obtained with very small per cent
age who refrain from its use, simply
because it is forbidden by their eccles-
fastical law. All Psychologists are
agreed that man is an omnivorous ami
NAL and that flesh as we'll as fruits and
grain are necessary to healthy exist
ence. If sound mind in a sound body
is the greatest blessing we enjoy in this
world, we cannot reasonably expect
either unless the body is properly nour-
lshed. To keep or preserve this state
of health animal food of some kind is
necessary to preserve the equilibrium
between the waste and supply. One can
hardly imagine how our ancestors lived
and propagated their kind without the
aid OF the chemist to tell them just how
much fesh-forming, fat-forming and
all the etccteras were to be found in
their daily rations, provided they always
were able to obtain those rations. AS

Sorghum for Beef-NIakinI.

Speaking of improving the quality of
beef, Professor Gulley says: II have
tested several foods for the purpose,
and among them sorghum, which 1 first
grew in 1892. Sorghum will produce
as much grain as good corn crop and
is better adapted to a hot and dry CHI
mate than corn. Many experiments
have been conducted to determine what
the effect of sorghum is upon the ami
NAL. Notwithstanding the fact that
many scott at the idea of scientific feed
ing. dairymen and many that feed for
beef are realizing that there is much in
it. What is known as a balanced food
ration must be fed to give the best re-
suits. "-Bulletin Is, Arizona Expert

Crimson or Scarlet Clover.


The Ohio experiment station has
made several experiments with crimson
or scarlet clover during the past four
seasons, all of which have thus far re-
suited in failure. The chief difIiculty
has apparently been that the dry
weather, which is 50 common in Ohio
during August, the time when this
clover is ordinarily sown. has killed the
young plants after termination. OF
late years this summer drought has
regularly extended into the fall.
Whether this clover will endure our
winters is also doubtful point.

Disinfecting Turkey Quarters.

Disinfecting Turkey Quarters.
The Bureau of Animal Industry has
been investigating "black-head" in tur-
keys. Incidentally it gives the follow
ing instructions as to disinfection:
From our present knowledge Of the
transmission of this disease it is sug-
gested that farmers and poultry raisers
who have recently had this disease in
their focks should dispose of their old
turkeys and start by Matching turkey
eggs under hens or with turkeys OBJ
tanned from non-infected districts.
preferably from the south, as this dis
ease is not known to exist there. AS a
precautionary measure, the turkey
roosts, especially the accumulated
droppings, should be disinfected early
in the spring before the young turkeys
are Matched or old ones introduced. The
liberal use of Stacked lime in the yards
most frequently occupied by the dis
eased turkeys is recommended. A ser
viceable disinfectant for buildings and
places containing the feces Of diseased
turkeys is the following:
Crude carbolic acid. .one-half gallon
Crude sulphuric acid. .one-half gallon
These two substances should be
mixed in tubs or glass vessels. The
sulphuric acid is very slowly added to
the carbolic acid. During the mixing
a large amount of heat is developed.
The disinfecting power of the mixture
is heightened If the amount of heat is
kept down by placing the tub or glass
demijohn containing the carbolic acid
in cold water while the sulphuric acid
is being added. The resulting mixture
is added to water in the ratio of to
20. One gallon of mixed acids will
thus furnish twenty gallons of strong
disinfecting solution, having a slightly
milky appearance. It is quite corro-
sive, and care should be taken to pro-
tect the eyes from accidental splashing.

Requires Experience.

Requires Experience.
Stock raising is not a business that
can be engaged in without experience
as all those who have ventured can
testify to. 1t requires time to grade
up herd to high standard, such as
every ambitious breeder should
aspire to. But even If it does re-
quire time, that should not be a
stumbling block. It is far better 10
take a little more time and have g.
high grade than economic time and
raise inferior stock. The time has
gone by when scrub production is
tolerated; every progressive farmer
has his eyes opened to the advantage
of thoroughbreds, and those who get
out of the old rust first will be bene-
flied. Where one is able to invest suf-
ficient capital to secure superior ami
mails at the start there will be a saving

One of the humorous things OF this

Mr. Mclean IS running for the legisia-

thick with PopuliStS as drops in an

a man to run in this district said:

Who is He Tint Will Not Vote for an Hon.
est Man?

The action Of the reunited Republi-
cans in placing before the people on
last Saturday for the office of district
clerk, Mr.. Charles Simmons, has al
ready met with a response from all over
the county that is gratifying. The voice
OF Republication goes up with one &C
claim, He is the man." And Charlie
Simmons is the man for the time and
for the place. His nomination strength
ems the candidacy of every man on his
ticket. Everybody knows Charlie Sim
mons. He has lived here since the year L
of Sedgwick county's history and he is
the same genial, decent, hearted
Charlie Simmons today that he was
when he came here boy and helped
10 develop the grandeSt county and
build the greatest city in the state. Has
anybody heard ought against Charlie
Simmons that was not noble and big
hearted? Has anybody heard ought
against him that was not honest and
square? When a man lives in a COM
munity quarter of a century and his
reputation for honesty and sterling man
hood increases every day then there is
reason to honor him. The heart OF
Charlie Simmons is with the people He
is one of the people. His sympathies
are with the men who get up at o'clock
in the morning and work in the field
until shutdown. He has spent most OF
his life that way himself He is now
a business man in Wichita and works
hard to make a living. He is a man
who knows what high taxes are and
the public can feel assured, and do be-
gieve, that if he is elected he will be
man whom they can trust.
