inch each and firmly boltcd with good
strong bolts The two cross boards
at the top are each five by one and
half inches and two and half feet
long. They should be of some hard
wood, as they hold the pulleys and
consequently bear the weight OF the
hogs. Braces can be put in II the
frame does not seem strong enough.
The sides should lean toward each
other some, the legs being two and II
half feet apart ut tie top, and four and
a half feet at the bottom.
The roller IL about two and half
feet from the ground. The one in the
illustration was taken from an old
binder the Iron rod IN the centre being
squared at one end for the crank.
Any blacksmith can make crank f0l
1t. II should be long enough to gave
good leverage in lifting the hogs The
pullcys are fastened to the boards ut
the top by means of eyebolts. The
rope Is fastened to the roller, passes
through both pulleys, and has the
gambrel tied to the other end. 1t
should be long enough that no lifting
be required.
When the hog IL ready 10 be hung,
lift it until the gambrel comes above
the ten foot side piece; turn the hog
until the gambrel rests on these pieces
ut both sides, when the rope Is united
and the hog Is slipped to the end near
the roller. Care should be taken that
the gambrels are long and strong
enough to bear the weight Several
hogs can be hung ut one time In this
way.
Another arrangement good for rainy
days ls made by securing the roller Mt
the side OF Il shed, and chainlng the
pulley to the rafters. A long rope is
required and the hogs are raised up
and then lowered into n hogshead of
hot water. After they are scalded and
cleaned, the carcasses are raised and
hung on two heavy scantllngs which
are fastened In the shed and used
just as In case of the other device.
This permits all work to be done un-
der shelter, and does away with the
heavy lifting on butcherlng day.--C.

Points on Hog cholera.

DR.. II. T.. Luckey. state Veterinarian
of Missouri, has issued n report on
hog cholera. He sums up the result
of his investigation ms follows;
AT present all the advice that can
be given is to burn the bodies of the
cholera hogs. Use Il little common
sense about bringing the cholera on
your place. If you really think you
need the cholera among your hogs.
take little time some day to 90 over
To your ncighbors who have 1t, walk
around among the sick hogs for
awhile; 20 back home and tramp
around your own hogs, and you can go
to bed that night feeling reasonably
sure that In u few days you hogs viii
have the cholera. If this should fail
and 1t seldom does wait till you hear
of a ncighbor who lives up the creek
from you losing some hogs with chol-
era and throwing their carcasses in or
near the crcek Then, as soon as the
germs have time To wash down by
your place, get all your hogs together
and drive them to the creek for u
drink. II the weather Is warm the
hogs will generally 20 to the creek
without being driven, thereby saving
their owners Il great deal of worry
and cNertlon.
"lf this fails, try keeping n no-ac-
count dog that runs all over the coun-
try at night. III you will let him alone
long enough he Is sure TO find some
where piece OF hog that had
died about Il year before with the hog
| cholera. Your uelghbor had buried IL
| about six inches deep, and the dog, for
nero lack of any other pastimc,
| scratches II mp. However feeling Il
| dclicucy about the propricty of depos-
| lting his bone upon the front porch. he
! generally goes out TO the hog pen To
! find Il place TO get some dirt to cover
IT up about one inch deep. The hogs
of course. do not bother the dogs
meat. Anyway, from now on when
your hogs die OF cholera, burn them"
IN conclusion, DIR. Luckey says that
some very encouraging results have
been obtained by recent experiments
| in Missouri in yaccinating hogs
| against cholera. The results will be
published in a bulletin soon to be is
suNl
