BONE MEAL FOR PIGS.
A Tablespoonful Daily for Two AMI
mails Has a Most Marked Effect
on Their Strength.

The pigs allowed neither bone meal
nor wood ashes failed to develop any
considerable frame, and became excess
sively fat, their bellies and jowls al
most dragging on the ground-they
were dwarfs. Where ashes or bone
meal were fed the pigs developed much
larger frames, and were more normal,
though not entirely satisfactory. They
also made better gains for the feed
given. When it came to testing the
breaking strength of the thigh bones,
1T was found that those of the pigs
getting bone meal were about twice as
strong as the bones of the pigs allowed
neither ashes nor meal. The bones of
the pigs getting ashes were not quite
as strong as those getting bone meal.
The average breaking strength of "a
single thigh bone was as follows:
When neither was fed, 80 pounds;
when ashes were fed, 5s1 pounds; when
bone meal was fed, $50 pounds In these
tests the thigh bones were placed on
rounded iron edges four inches apart.
and the breaking weight brought down
directly above on the middle of the
bone.
We next burned the thigh bones, and
found those of the pigs getting ashes or
bone meal contained much more ash
than those getting neither. 1t may be
said in passing that this experiment
was not directly practical, for no SEN
sible man would expect to keep grow
ing pigs on maize meal only, as we did,
for so long period. 1t was an expert
ment to test whether or not such sub
stances as ashes and bone meal may
prove in any way beneficial to pigs,
since these animals usually crave ashes
and similar substances even when run
ming at large. A tablespoonful of bone
meal daily for two pigs is enough to
have most marked effect on the
strength of the bones, when the pigs
were kept under the abnormal condi-
lions of our experimentation. j.

disinfecting bath, or, as it is termed,
to dip" them. Dipping" infected
cattle into saturated solution of sui
phur in extra dynamo oil will destroy
all parasites.
Recently the Fort Worth Stock
Yards company built a large dipping
plant and placed it at the disposal of
the bureau of animal industry, where
the first demonstrations have been
regard to the bath was to find a
chemical oil which would not have an
irritating and heating effect upon the
cattle. For this purpose a number of
samples of various lubricating oils
were examined, and one of light spe-
cl1ic gravity, called extra dynamo, was
selected.
A train load of 81 cattle was
dipped in a large vat of the stock
yard in July last. These cattle were
raised and bred in Texas, and were
infested with Texas fever parasites
at the time of the dipping. The
weather, which had been remarka bly,
cool up to this time, suddenly changed
to intense heat, and, it being desir-
able not to expose the cattle to the
sun Immediately after the dipping,
they were not passed through the vat
until after sunset. By II o'clock at
night all had gone through without
a single accident, and they were at
once loaded on clean cars, bedded
with hay and shipped to Rockford, Ill
Of the 81 cattle all save four ar
rived in good condition at their des-
tination. The casualties were princi-
pally caused by extreme heat during
the first day of travel and the con-
finement incident to shipment. A
careful examination showed that not
a single parasite had survived. Most
of the cattle showed absolutely no
indications of having been dipped, the
skin being soft and flexible in all
cases.-N. Y. Herald.

COULDN'T WEAR SHOES.

Sumpter, ILL.,, June 10.-Mrs. J. j.
Flanagan, of this place, had suffered
with Dropsy for fifteen years. She
was SO very bad that for the last
three years, she has not been able to
wear her shoes. She had doctored all
the time, but was gradually getting
worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for
some medicine at Mr.. j. J. Dale's drug
store in Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded
him to have his wife try Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and he bought six boxes. His
wife used five out of the six, before
she was entirely cured. She is now as
sound and well as ever she was, COM
pletely restored to health, and free
from any symptom whatever of
Dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
at her wonderful deliverance, does not
half express her feelings, and she
and Mr.. Flanagan are loud in their
praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of
Mr.. Dale for recommending this won
derful remedy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such severe
case of Dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up, has made them the most
talked-of remedy ever known IN White
County.

A STRONG hay RACK,
When Properly Made, Painted and
Kept Dry When Not in Use, 1t
Will Last a Lifetime.

In making a hay rack 1 would by
all means use low wagon; no other
wagon is as handy for hauling hay or
grain. Use strong pine and have it
smoothed. AS shown herewith, the
sills (a) should be Is feet by 2x7
inches. The four cross pieces (c) are
6A feet by 2x5 inches. These can be
made lighter by cutting down to 8
inches from sills to end. The small
piece (c) explains how this is done.
Cross pieces (c) are all placed on top
of sills (a). Dropping cross pieces
(c), one-half inch in stills (a), as
shown, will make the rack more dur
able and secure. Four bolts, one-half
by IL inches, for end cross pieces, and
four bolts, one-half by ii inches, for
the two centerpieces, will be re-
quired. These 14-inch bolts will be
long enough to fasten two strips Of

A GLORIOUS SIGHT.
Fields of Wheat in Which the Stocks
Were So Thick 1t Was Impossible
to Drive Between Them.

To the Editor:
A gentleman from Duluth made a
trip through a portion of Western
Canada last summer, and writing OF
what he saw, says:
wheat, for instance, will average
twenty-five or thirty bushels to the
acre. / saw shocks so thick in the
field that it would be almost impossi-
BILE to drive between them. Winters,
it is said, are longer than near Duluth
but the Japan current, warm chinook
winds and dry atmosphere make the
winters comparatively mild
Thousands of such testimonies are
to be had from settlers who have
taken advantage of the low-priced
lands of Western Canada. During the
present year new districts will be
opened up in the Saskatchewan Val
ley, and advantage should be taken OF
this at once. Information can be had

boards underneath stills to rest bot
tom boards on. Two boards (b), one
on each side, the whole length of the
rack, 1X10 inches, are placed on top
of cross pieces. 1t will require 16
5X%-inch bolts to fasten boards. Put
these bolts down from top of boards
so as to have the surface smooth. Do
not put pins in top of boards; they
are dangerous. Many farmers have
been severely injured by protruding
pins.
Make the back (e) 6 inches narrow
er than front of bolster. This will
be an advantage in turning. Bore 2
inch holes about inches from each
end of sills and insert uprights be-
fore putting rack together. This
should fold down nicely when neces-
sary. These uprights may be wired
to cross pieces, for if not folded down
they may cause trouble. For going
to the field holes may be made in sin
gle upright (f) with a pin to secure
boom pole. Take a scantling 4x5
inches for bolster and secure it to
rack about feet from front cad of
the sills (g) with one-half by 12-inch
bolts. The 2x4-inch scantling placed
on the bolster behind this rack on
low wagon will not interfere with
wheels. Use washers on all bolts; I
had my blacksmith drill five-eighth-
inch holes through strips of iron 10
inches long to put bolts through
boards on cross pieces. This will
keep boards down nicely. This rack,
properly made, will last lifetime. Do
not forget to paint it and keep dry
when not in use.-Abram StuI. in

GOOD THING FOR WALKERS.
Much Comfort May BE Derived from
Wearing German Army Foot
Covering.

"The best foot covering in the
world for men who have to walk
about in all sorts of Places" said a
professional hunter in the employ of
local market man, reports the New
Orleans Times-Democrat, sis the
cloth used in the German army in
place of socks. A friend of mine sent
me couple of samples last fall, and
1 gave them a thorough trial. The
result is that I'm never going to
wear anything else when I'm out on
hunt. The cloth is made of medium
weight wooden goods and is about
the size and shape of an old-fash-
Toned red bandanna handkerchief. It
is simply folded about the foot and
then tied around the ankle with a
piece of tape. At first blush," the
hunter went on, "that would seem to
be very uncomfortable arrange
ment, and I felt certain that the
creases would make the thing a tor
ment to wear, but I can only say that
they do nothing of the kind.
"Of course, great deal depends
upon the way the cloth is folded, and
1 found, after some experimenting,
that the best scheme was to place
the foot in the center and then cross
the sides diagonally over the top of
the instep. Drawing up the back
completed a sort of rough moccasin,
which the tape kept firmly in posi-
ton. l wore an extra large shoe and
never felt a crease. The principal
advantages of the foot cloth over
socks are these: When hole is worn
in it all one has to do is to make a
slight shift; then it is very easy to
wash, and if it gets wet it can be
spread out and dried in few mo-
ments at camp fire. All these are
important considerations on a hunt.
when a man may be in the woods
and marches for a week or more and
can't afford to be incumbered with
much besides cartridges. I'm sur
prised that the cloth hasn't become
well known and popular long ago.
Hereafter I shall be the Jerry Simp.
son of the shotgun fraternity"

FEEDING SOAKED CORN.
When Comhin ed with Good PasturaEc
1t Affords an Ideal Summer
Ration for Pigs.

There appears to be quite differ
ence in the opinions of breeders in re-
gard to feeding soaked corn to the
spring pigs during the summer time
when running on the pasture and at
a time when the old corn is hard and
sometimes difficult for young pigs to
eat. l have a decided preference for
soaked corn, getting the best growth
and better results than from feeding
the dry corn. Ny plan is as follows: 1
get two barrels that will hold water,
and then pour in one the quantity of
corn that wish the pigs to eat during
the next 36 hours time, then l add to
the corn clean water until it is covered
some three inches, leaving it to soak
from the first barrel, and at the same
time fill the second barrel, which will
be ready to commence on when the
first is fed out. After the first is fed
out, clean the barrel and fill it as be-
fore. This is a clean, easy digested,
wholesome food. The corn has lost
nothing by the operation, only the
heated or burning feature of it, which
is injurious to all young, growing
stock when fed to any extent. You
can feed this kind of food without
danger of splashing it over you, which
is not the case with slop made from
mill feeds. which not only gets on
your clothes, but the pigs as well in
feeding. This manner of feeding will
make rapid growth, and when on good
pasture complete ration.-J. g. True
blood, in Swineherd.
