quently the seed must not be sown un-

CLEANLINESS FOR HOGS.
1t IL a Most Important Condition to
Thrift and Will Add Materially
to Farm Profits.

There is no domestic animal kept on
the farm that is so habitually neglected
in point Of cleanliness as the hog, saws
the Mirror and Farm. Men do now
and then clean out their horse and
cow stables. They use the currycomb
on the horse, and many, too, are be-
ginning to use it on the cattle, particu-
larry where the herd is kept for dairy
purposes. Aside, however, from the
growers of breeding stock, how few
men there are who pay any attention
to the cleanliness of the quarters in
which hogs are kept. There is no ex-
cuse for this except the mistaken idea
that the hog is filthy animal and does
not care fc- cleanliness. We say this
is a mistaken idea, and we fully believe
it. The hog no more requires dirty
surroundings as one of the essential
conditions to thrift than does any
other domestic animal. We complain
great deal about the annual loss of
hogs from disease, and it is certainly
very severe in many seasons, but the
wonder is, considering the conditions
under which hogs are habitually kept,
that it is not greater than it is. If cat
tie and horses were managed in the
same way and with the same lack of at
tention to cleanliness, perhaps some
disease would propagate itself among
them that would sweep them away as
rapidly as hog cholera sweeps away
swine. Whether this is true or not,
however, does not affect the question
as to whether hogs should be kept in
quarters fairly clean. It is no great
task to do so if the quarters are con-
structed with that in view. What is
chiefly needed is good drainage and
good feeding floors so arranged as to
be easily cleaned, in order that food
that is left over or spilled and tramped
in the dirt may not ferment continu-
ously and produce conditions that,
whether the cause of the disease in the
hog or not, would certainly produce
disease in any other domestic animal.
Efficient disinfectants, too, should be
habitually kept and used. Clean, COM
Portable quarters are one of the i'm
portant conditions to thrift and it will
pay to furnish them. Moreover, aside
from the comfort and thrift of the
hog, what can be more offensive than
dirty. foul-smelling swine quarters?
The condition of many yards that we
have seen has been such that we would
hardly accept the hogs in them as a
gift if we were obliged to feed and care
for them amid the surroundings that
were then given them.

For several years leguminous plant,
