How to Treat the Ailments Incident to Lit

Scours is generally one of the worst
ailments among pigs, especially in
damp weather An ounce of proven
ton is worth pound of cure in such
eases. Keep the SOW in n dry place,
and do not allow her or her pigs to go
in the wet grass In tho morning, as il
will give the pigs the seours every
time. Should YOU be SO unfortunate
us to get the scours among your pigs,
do not let them run together. Keep
those that have the scours from the
pigs that are we'll
Feed the SOW dry feed-parched corn
or oats, and give the pigs scalded sweet
milk as warm as they can drink it, II
! the pigs are very small, and weather
warm, feed SOW sulphur-dose, good
tablespoonful twice day, given in the
feed. In very bad eases double the
dose. | have used copperas with
sows when pigs had scours, Civ
ing a tcaSpoonful each morning for
three or four days, in a little bran
mash. Either of the above remedies
have been sufficient to check the scours
for my pigs. When this will not check,
have used in connection with the
above the following; Laudauum, two
and ouc-halfdrachms; sub-nitrate of bis
muth, two drachms; spirits OF lavender
compound, one-haf ounce; sirup tolu,
one ounce; simple sirup to make three
ounces Dose, one teaspoonful every
two or three hours until bowels check.
This is given 10 pigs from two to six
weeks old, Another ailment, which is
not so serious, is sore tails. The cause
of this is damp and dirty quarters,
Keep clean straw in pen for bedding,
and it is not apt to appear The best
remedy is to anoint the tail with vase
line and put clean wheat or rye straw
in for bedding. Oat straw or hay is
not tit to use for bedding, especially
for little pigs.
Thumps is another trouble among
pigs, and more especially among early
narrowed litters, don't know of any
remedy for thumps except prevention.
If you are raising early do not feed
the SOW too heavily; give rather lax
atiye food; keep SOW rather thin; give
her plenty of room to exercise; see
that the pigs do not lie in the nest too
much, but make them scurry around
quite frequently. Should you see they
are too fat around the neck and shout
ders, notice if their bowels move free
ly, and if not give some laxative feed,
and if this does not have the desired
effect, give each Of them a teaspoonful
of castor oil twice day. Five or six
times day is not too often to make
them take exercise. No danger of
thumps when they are made to run
around. Do not however, allow them |
to run in snow or wet.
Sore mouth is another serious thing
a breeder has to contend with. If it is
just the common sore mouth, which is /
caused by pigs biting each other, it is |
no great trouble to get rid of. l take |
a small pair Of pinchers and break off |
those eight sharp teeth, and use car
boIated vaseline on the affected parts. |
But if you get canker sore mouth, it is /
another thing. Keep those affected |
with the disease separate from the |
well ones, for if you have a number of |
cases you have your hands full with |
out any new ones. If the greatest pre-

WOMAN AND HOME.
PRETTY VEIL CASE.
A Present witch Is Not only Attrnc-
tive, Hut Useful Also,


NInny women find an added charm In
a gift that has been the personal handl'
work of a friend. The article seems ia
acquire a sentimental value far beyond
its actual monetary one in such a case
Yet, with plenty Of spare time on thelr
hunds, and all the necessary executive
ability. many gyers OF presents are
oblge to content themselves with the
purchase of their gifts ready-made be-
cause they cannot plan out anything
that shall be at once useful and orha-
mental, and so able to justify its anna
teur construction. To such a puzzled
deyotee of the work table, the veil case
shown in the accompanying sketch, is
offered for consideration. There can
be no question about its pretty APP
pearance, and any woman who has had
her good veilings spoiled with knocking
about in her drawers, TO catch inevita-
bly, upon every glove, button or hook
will decide that such n separate recep-
tacle for them would be of the utmost
service.
For a present that is to be as hand
some as possible, the veil case should
be developed in white satin, with pow
derings of blue forget-me-nots, a lin
ing of pale blue silk, and cord and
ribbons in a similar shade. To make
the shape, the ubiquitous mill-board
must be again called into requisition,
and two palette shapes cut from 1t;
the size may be decided at the work
er's pleasure, but generally useful meas
urements would be from 7h to 8
inches in length, and about six inches
across. This gives the veil comforta-
bic space, if it is folded carefully.
Cut two pieces of the white satin,
and two of the blue silk, the same shape
as the palette, only rather larger, to al
low for turnings. Then proceed to
stretch a piece OF satin and a piece of
silk on either side Of a cardboard por-
ton, taking care that there are no
wrinkles; turn the edges of the ma
terials inward, and stitch firmly to-
gether round the edge of the palette.
The remaining piece of satin must be
daintily embroidered with single flow
ers and the word Wells" in forget
