The pork that has been produced at

Good results with potatoes have been
secured by mulching between the rows

The common mode of feeding anil

while it IS admitted that roots will
do much to keep the hog in good con-
dition. preserving the animals vital
ity and enabling it to fight of dis
ease, such rations would be of no
avail if the animals were surrounded
by everything conducive to the dread
disease, such as filthy pen and a
more filthy yard, damaged grain for

ter of century in swine-raising, be-
lieve that cholera is due wholly to
filthy quarters and the other condi-
tons just mentioned. True, the dis
ease is contagious or more properly
infectious, but even then few hogs
will be afflicted if they have been
properly fed aud housed. The feeding
of roots is advisable and by all means
practice it, but do not consider it a
cure for cholera or even a proven

Ra;,;no shredded Corn.

Since it has been demonstrated that
corn slower is economically shredded
much Of this work is being done and
it has been noticed that considerable
of this shredded slower is being put
on to the market in sections where
considerable feed has to be bought.
OF course this baling is done by men
who are familiar with baling hay,
but there is no reason why the farm
er cannot do it himself If he is To-
Gated near a market. where there is
likely to be a demand for the slower
put up in such a manner. Where
there is shortage of the hay crop or
of crops used by stock as roughage
there is likely to be a market for
the baled stover.
Care must be used, however, to
have it properly cured before it is
baled. 1t should be cured in the
shock as much as possible and then
finished in the barn. After the stow
er is shredded it will usually sweat
some and when this is over it is fit
to bale. 1t is advised that one look
into the conditions near at home and
see what the opportunities are for a
market for baled corn stover.-St

While it is admitted that mango in
horses is not always due to a filthy
coat, it is primarily the cause. There
is too much careless grooming on
farm horses and particularly after
they have been working and per-
spired freely. Try the plan of putting
the work horse in his stall after the
harness has been removed and after
throwing it a forkfull Of hay to
MUNICH over, wash over his coat with
a sponge and lukewarm water where
the harness has touched. Wipe off
the moisture with dry rag and be-
fore bedtime go over the an NAL with
