THE SWINEHERD

It is demonstrated by all experiments
that in the making of pork at low
prices the various species Of pasture
grasses are the most beneficial, cheap
est and most useful of the many foods
on which the hog subsists. The ami
NAL which can make the best use OF
them is therefore the most suitable fol.
general purposes.
To Load Hogs.
Handy devices for loading hogs are
numerous. Here is the best one I
know, says writer in Kimball's Dairy
Farmer l have tried the portable
chute, the hog yard chute and some
others. but this beats them all. My hog
house is built on slight side hill. The
hogs go in on the ground level. I back
the wagon up to door on the opposite
chute. 1t is much easier to drive a hog
on level floor than up an incline. II
you have low wagon this can be man
aged with almost any hog house hy
digging two trenches for the rear
wheels, thus letting the hind end of the
wagon down to the level Of the door.
A neighbor has one pen with floor
about foot higher than the rest Of the
house. There is an outside door in this.
and he backs the wagon up to it and
loads in niat way. By feeding in this
pen several times it is an easy matter
to handle the hogs There is an cas-,
incline leading from tine other house to
this, so the hogs do not have to climb
around any. Anything that makes it
possible to load fat hogs with little dis
turbance is worth considering.
Housing the Pigs.
In a paper read at the Iowa swine
breeders meeting w. 2. Swallow, u
swine breeder for forty years, said:

Dairy Talk of Today

A milk sheet should be in every
barn and the cows tested regularly
and the mixers made known of the
results. All these things have a tend
ency toward interesting them in their
work and are productive Of better re-
suits.
The Milk Herd.
The time has come for all dairymen
to look well to their herds to see that
they are composed Of animals Of con-
stitution, and to that end production
must be placed secondary, and every
thing that tends to the development of
strength and constitution must be
made Of the first Importance. Given
these qualities, from good foundation
stock, performance must surely fol-
low.
Breed Tests.
The figures given here are merely
types. They do not mean that every
cow of the breed will yield milk of
this grade. Some Jerseys will not go
above 81, and some Holsteins will do
better than 4.6 But as whole the
tests fairly represent the fat content of
the milk of the breed: Holsteins, 3.25
per cent; Ayrshires, 81; Shorthorns.
3.S; Devons, A; Jersey, 5; Guernsey, 5.
-Kimball's Dairyman.
May BE All Cream.
When you see man going to the
creamery with one can nowadays it's
no sign he is running one COW dairy.
That may be can Of cream.
Field Weeds and Others.
The weeds are not all in the fields.
Some are in the dairies, the cows that
make us useless work, that reduce our
profits, that discount our undertakings,
so we cannot get 100 cents on the dol
lar from them, says Kimball's Dairy
Farmer Let US get rid of these-pull
up, cut off, Danish the weeds, in so far
as they affect our success.
But the real, universal, hopeless
dairy weeds are the cows that make
125, 13O, 40 pounds Of butter year,
the ones the thoughtless farmer owns.
feeds and milks. They are his dairy
sinking funds; they sink his labor, his
profits and his hopes What train loads
Of these would go to Packingtown if
we would all weed them out at once.
Train the Heifer.
Heifers should be taught to hoist
the first thing, as it puts the udder il
better position to be handled. Cows
that have not been taught this, when
they come to develop large udders and
are heavy mixers, are quite an annoy
ance to the mixer, especially with
cows that do not carry the udder wei!
forward
Careless Dairymen.
Nine-tenths of the dairymen are still
mixing breeds, housing COWS in barn
that are about devoid of sanitation, re-
fusing to believe that what gets into
the milk after and during milking is
what injuries it and sends it to 'sthe
dogs" that it does not pay to read and
become dairy wise, that 1t is economy

Paradox of Buried Treasure.

Buried treasure is not always apoc-
ryphal. An instance occurred in
the last century at Washington, ly-
ing seven miles north Of Worthing.
In that village for many generations
a tradition had fingered that, just
before the battle Of Hastings, a
great treasure had been hidden.
From 1866 to 1866 it lay undisturb-
ed. In that latter year, at the Wasa-
inga-tun (settlement Of the SONS of
Wasa, to give the village its Saxon
name), 5000 pennies of the coinage
of Edward the Confessor and Harold
were unearthed, which proved for
once the truth that may underlie
an "old wives fable" - London
Chronicle.

shav1nss as Scratching Litter.

A reader asks if shavings would
make good scratching litter, and as the
answer was not very positive in its
favor I will venture to speak from sew
eral years experience and say that
have always used them with the best
of success and prefer good, clean shay
ings to any other material, says L. E..
Hudson in American Poultry Advo
cate. They will not pack down so
much as straw, and as most shavings
are from dry lumber they will absorb
more moisture than other material
They will also last longer. With six
to ten inches of shavings on a good
floor you may depend on your fowls
getting proper exercise.

Care of Breeding Ewes.

We feed our breeding ewes literally
with roots and plenty of clover hay.
says writer in the American Agri-
culturist. We have large, well venti-
lated sheds and let the ewes have plen-
ty of exercise, keeping them out Of all
storms. 1t does not do a sheep any
good to get wet. We aim to have our
ewes in good healthy condition, all
ways use the best rams we can secure
and mate them with the ewes early i'll
the season. We find that early lambs do
far better than late ones, provided they
can be cared for properly. We Gull our
lambs and focks carefully each year,
sending all inferior animals to the
butchers block.

W Jacobson OF Elk City met with a
terrible accident last Sunday. He let a
shotgun slip through his hands in such a
way that the weapon was discharged,
the contents passing through the wrist
and hand, tearing away the bones and
muscles until only portion of the skin
connected the hand and wrist. The hand
may be saved though it will be terribly
crippled and the thumb is nearly des-
troyed.

To be continued.

An eminent writer, referring to China,
says Officials have not only been ap-
pointed without consulting the governed,
but they have been shamelessly corrupt. .
We'll, this, coming from genuine
democrat, sounds very well, the impli-
cation being that, in "a government of
the people, by the people and for the
people, the governed are consulted.
But the charge Of having consulted the
governed can not be laid at the doors of
the republican 'ins place holders,
political machine men, corruption fund
collectors, other fatfriers, and the rest
of certain classes. These classes are
rs u rule skilled in the art and science
Of making the governed believe that
they have voice in the governing; but
will anybody charge them with ever
having, in recent years, consulted the
governed2 We don't believe any one
will Nor isit necessary to go to poor,
benighted China to find shameless cor
rupton in civil service The enlightened
Occident does itself harbor many Augean
stables that constitute stencil in the
nostrils of the unconsulted governed.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed, you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing; and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result;
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucous
