Preventing Scours in Pigs.

Nothing is better for preventing
scours in pigs than some crushed oat
and barley slop run through a screen
to remove most of the hulls which
should be placed in a low trough in a
corner of the pen. The young pigs go
for this greedily. At two months old
they are ready to wean, when they
should be put in two large pens, Gull
ms out the weaker ones and putting
them in pens made vacant by grouping
three agreeable sows. Much more skill
is required to raise young pigs in win
ter than in summer. After taking them
away from their dams feed warm new
milk for the first meal and after that
warm skim milk with a good sprink-
ling of shorts in it, increasing the
quantity each day until about the
consistency of thin porridge. A good
way is to mix a quart of oil meal with
each barrel of feed and have a box in
the corner of each pen containing
wood ashes, charcoal and a little salt
and sulphur.-Rural World.

SHEEP MADE SELF-RELIANT
Denizens of the Rocky Mountains
Early Learn to Take Care
of Themselves.

Mr.. Owen Wister says that in pur-
suing the Rocky mountain sheep,
with a gun and a. camera, he once wit
messed an incident full of discipline,
encouragement and instruction. He
describes it in "Musk-OX, Bison, Sheep
and Goat" A sheep and lamb We're
grazing along II of three we'll
marked terraces which were trimmed
with walls of rock.
After a proper period OF relaxation,
the mother judged it time to go on.
She mounted the hill right toward me,
not fast, but steadily, waiting now and
then, precisely as other parents wait,
for her toddling child to come up
with her. Here and there were
bushes of some close, stiff leaf, which
she walked through easily, but whicl
were too many for the struggling
child.
The lamb would sometimes get into
the middle of m of these and find it
self unable to push through; after one
or two efforts, it would back out and
go round some other way, and thea
! saw it making haste to where its
mother stood waiting. Upon II Of
these occasions the mother received il
in a manner that seemed almost to
say: Good gracious! At your age
| found no trouble with a thing of
that kind
While | vas wondering what or
earth they would do when they found
themselves stepping upon the ter
race into my lap, the " found a
way she liked better, but it was Sc
we're work for the lamb. The mother
got 10 the wall where she could make
one leap of it. 1t was done In a
flash.
Meanwhile, the poor little lamb was
vainly %springing at the wall; the jump
was too high for it. It's front hoofs
grazed the edge, and back it tumbled
to try again. Finally it bleated; but
the mother deemed this not a mo-
ment for indulgence. She gave not
the slightest attention to the cry for
assistance. There was nothing dan
gerous about the place. no
able hardship in getting the best of
he wall; and by her own processes,
thought or instinct. she left her child
to meet one of the natural difficulties
of life, and so gain self-reliance.
The mother did undoubtedly not use
the words self reliance" or natural
difficulties" but ii she had not her
sheep equivalent for what these words
impart, the species would long ago
have rerished off the earth. The noun
tain sheep is a master at the art OF
self-preservation. The maternal in
stinct OF this eve made her force the
young one to climb for itself.

GENERAL FARM NOTES

Overchurning is one cause of butter
not keeping.
In feeding dusty hay, shake well and
dampen before feeding.
See that there is sufficient shade in
every pasture for the stock.
Milk from COWS long in milk should
not stand as long before skimming as
that from fresh cows.
