canker Sore Mouth.

quently with fatal results. There is
no better authority on the subject of
hogs and their diseases than the Wis
consin experiment station, and so we
give below the treatment which they
recommend for this disease. Every
hog raiser should preserve this re-
ceipt for possible future use.
The symptoms are as follows:
Large water blisters appear about the
lips and snout. rapidly succeeded by
much heat and swelling of the parts,
and later thick brown scabs appear
which open into deep cracks. These
scabs extend over the face, head, and
even to the body and limbs, the joints
of the latter becoming much swollen
and infiamed ulcers frequently form
about the snout and jaws, eating the
flesh from the bones. The pigs show
dullness, a dissemination to move,
often refuse to suckle or do so in

ABOUT FOOTBALL.

Press reports have it that President
Roosevelt has had heart to heart
conference with the leaders of colleg-
late foot ball to whom the president is
alleged to have announced his purpose
to put foot ball as it is now played
out of the list Of collegiate sports. II
appears from the reports that Young
Theodore Roosevelt mixed into a
scrimmage last week and was roughly
treated, resulting in some slight injur-
les, and the inference is that young
Theodore's battered condition convinc-
Cd his fond father of the brutality OF
the game. Hence the conference.
The story scarcely rings true when
we recall the presidents evident adj
miration of the game and his advice
to shit the line hard" However bat
tie is a splendid game to those who
have no friend, no brother there, and
foot ball may have lost its charm when

Care of Stock in Autumn.

AS the later autumn season APP
proaches the necessity for more care
full attention to young live stock should
be realized. While older stock Will do
well in the chilling nights of autumn,
the younger animals, especially calves
and sheep and lambs, may be consid-
erably injured by lack of attention
at this season Of the year.
One cold rain. attended with chilli
ing winds, may in a night or two de-
stroy the good results i'm calves OF
careful pail feeding in good pastures
for many weeks. Such exposure may
throw the less rugged animals into a
condition from which full recovery will
hardly be made during the entire win
ter. Especially will this recovery be
retarded if young stock is neglected IN
fields in bad weather and permitted to
decline in deteriorating pasture until
the storms of winter compel that they
be brought to shelter and feed in the
barns.
At this season of the year grass IS
getting old, tough and less nutritious
in this country, and after the first few
hard frosts, whatever of tender grass
had sprung up as fall feed is rendered
of comparatively little feeding value.
On that account with exposure In
pasture in the chilling nights of late
autumn, it is readily seen how natur-
ally the young stock declines from
thrifty condition to that of the rough
coated, humped-up state that is so
often to be observed in young cattle
being brought up for wintering over.
Young cattle should be taught early
in the autumn to seek the barn lot at
night, where shelter is close at hand
in case of severe storms. This Is very
easily done by giving them a little nip
of grain in the sheds at night. 1t will
take but a few nights to establish them
in this habit, and the slight portion of
grain will do them good as well. The
good growth and thrifty condition re-
sulting from the grass feeding of sum-
mer will thus be fully conserved and
there will be no reaction to overcome.
In the case of sheep and lambs, the
mistake is frequently made OF leaving
them in low-lying pasture lands late
in the season, when there are upland
meadows that would be/t benefited
rather than injured by a period of
moderate pasturing by the flock.
Late pasturing of low-lyfng lands by
young stock late in the season, when
autumn rains.have rendered them sour
and soggy, is evidently a serious mis-
take in animal husbandry. On these
lowlands frosts come earlier than else
where. Vegetation In decomposing
state is rendered sour and of little or
no nutrition, soil and water are con-
taminated with the germs Of decom-
position and the animals are brought
along to the approach Of winter in
surroundings that render 1t impossible
for them to retain the strength and
thrifty condition in which they should
be found when put up for the winter.
A few weeks of neglect late in the
season may lose the live stock farmer
almost the whole good that accrued to
him during a favorable season for
~aaking big and economical gains In
pasture.

Alfalfa Kills Quack Grass

Northern Iowa farmers who are
complaining of the pest will be inter
ested in the experience of l. M. Lilli-
bridge of Indiana, who says he had
about three acres of land that was
! covered with quack grass, and l de-
cided to try alfalfa on 1t. The soil IS
clay, but not heavy. I hired a team
to pillow it, but there was such tam
gle of roots as to necessitate the use
of three horses. Before through with
the blowing was sorry that l made
the attempt.
1.-THE blowing was done in the fall
, and in the spring the land was har-
rowed until thoroughly pulverized and
planted to corn. 1t was cultivated
every week or two until the corn got
too tall. When the corn was cut there
was fair yield, but the ground was
covered with the beautiful quack,
which laughed at my attempt to kill l..

Classifying Country Roads.

In a bulletin lately issued by the
Missouri state board of agriculture de-
voted to the improvement of highways,
a reasonable and convenient means of
Classifying highways for local improve
me1ts is given. While the plan in
wolves little, if anything, that is really
new still very little attention has been
hitherto paid to the possibilities of the
divisions.
In the first class are placed the COM
paratively few miles of highways be-
tween towns or centers over which the
vast bulk of all the traffic passes. 1t
is contended that these should be in
first class condition.
In the second class are the branch
roads which, as tributaries to the NAL
thoroughfares, have only a moderate
amount of traffic. 1t is reasonably
concluded that these highways are not
in need of as many or as extensive
improvements as the main routes.
After making this classification the
author of the bulletin makes these two
statements, which are more or less
equally applicable to rural condition
in other states
I'm every farm community in Mis-
souri, there are miles of public roads
over which there will not average one
loaded wagon per day. 1t is useless to
contend for the hard surfacing OF
roads carrying little traffic.
"If the roads are thus divided and
then each class studied and treated ac-
cording to it's particular needs, the
road question is not such a complex
question after all"
So naturally is such division made
that public sentiment would instinct :
lively in the great majority of cases

greatest amount Of service to the pub
