the tank was disinfected with crude
carbolic acid.
1t may seem ridiculous to some
people to provide a bath tub for
hogs, but 1t pays every time, because
clean water helps to insure. good
health. 1t is true that the hog is a
non-sweating animal and that in order
to cool himself he resorts to mud and
water, when he can not get clean
water alone.
1t is natural fer the hog 20 wallow,
but it does not prove thal he should
cool himself in a germ-infested filthy
mud hole to maintain his haalts The
present day hog is the product of
great deal of cross breeding, the OBJ
ject of which was to change the shape
and nature of the primitive hog. Our
domesticated hog would die if he
were placed in the haunts of the wild
hog and expected to live as did the
primitive wild hog, because he has
constantly been bred from the
nature and habits of the wild animal.
He needs water to cool his BODY,
but he does not need mud. Give him
the choice Of a dirty wallow or a
trough full of clean water and four
times out of five he will take the
water. l am sure that the cement
wallow or the bath tub like the one
described about will soon become one
OF the fixtures of every up-to-date
swine yard.

LIMIT NUMBER OF CHICKENS.

Now, that the chick season is with
us, let us not over do the thing sim
ply because it is SO easy to set eggs
and hatch chicks. A great many Eco
pie hatch chicks when they have no
means of raising them. It is nothing
unusual for some to hatch as many
again as they are rxed TO properly
care for. This is a grave mistake.
BY so doing the whole flock is neD-
lected, while if only as many ss could
be cared for nicely had been Matched
IN all probabilities the venture would
have proved much more profitable If
you are fixed to handle 100 chicks. do
not hatch 200. Remember that it
is not how many you hatch but now
many you raise that counts. Over
crowding and neglect means failure
in the chicken business; 100 chicks
well raised are worth more than
double that number neglected
The chicks must be kept reason
ably free from lice. We find an &C.
casional application of fresh lard well
rubbed in along the quill feathers of
the wing with touch of it on the
head the handiest and simplest rem
edy. Keep the chicks off the dew
in the mornings until they are a
month or six weeks old, and handy
shelter should be provided in case
of sudden storms. Paint the roasting
quarters and coops with liquid louise
killer every three weeks. If rats or
vermin do not bother, leave the
chicks in their small roosting coops
(if with hens) until just before wean-
ing time: then drive them altogether
to permanent roosting quarters, as
it is much easier to teach them at
this time after the hens have weaned
them.
Feed regularly but not too otter.
Teach them to rustic for their living
from the time they are Matched You
must bring up chick in the way it
is to go and always remember that a
busy fowl is profitable fowl.

CEMENT WALLoW FOR HOGS.

Get ready for summer by arrang-
ing for the comfort of your hogs.
A writer as quoted in the American
Swine Journal describes good
healthful hog-wallow as follows:
1t is we'll known how partial hogs
are to the "walloW," no matter
whether it be a mere mud hole or
one provided with pure water sup
ply for the purpose. However, there
are few herds that have access to
one such as the latter and the mud
wallow is altogether too common. The
mud hole in the swine pasture is
source of perpetual disease infection
and should not be tolerated where
good management can be had. The
following by E. w. Sherlock explains
how one Iowa farmer successfully
solved the problem of furnishing his
swine daily bath:
/ saw recently on the farm Of one
of the large hog raisers OF south
western Iowa a cement wallow that
was about one foot deep and six or
seven feet square. This is filled with
water from an underground pipe
leading from a tank on hill, and
is emptied into drain pipe by re-
moving plug at the bottom. This
was done about every three days and

DON'T ovERsTocK THE PAS
TURE.

For the last three years most of
the territory west of the Missouri
river has received about SO per cent
more than the average rainfall. and
as result pastures have been lux
uriant. While the quality was not
the best on account of the larger wat
er content, there has been an abund-
ance Of 1t, and there has been com
paratively little danger of oyerstock-
ing We know not what the future
may bring forth, but it is certainly
reasonable to expect that the cycle
OF wet seasons has about run its
course, and will be followed, as they
have in the past so far as we know,
by a cycle Of drier seasons, culmn-
ating in year of drourh. Farmers
should, therefore, understand that
they can not safely calculate on such
"a rank pastures as they have enjoyed
for the last three or four years, and
should guard against overstocking
them.
BY overstocking we mean putting
more cattle or other live stock on
pasture than it can support in the
very best condition. A little grass
is only provocation. To pasture cat
tie in field that does not have a
superabundance of pasture from the
middle of July is about the poorest
possible economy. 1t is bad for the
cattle, but worse for the pasture Cat
tie do best during these months when |
there is at least twice as much as
they need. In fact, to get the best |
results out of pasture you want to
have about half ton of possible hay i
to the acre at least until the middle
of August. This is particularly the
case with regard to timothy and
clover. We can then calculate on the I
surplus growth to carry them through /
fly time in July and August, and can
expect the fall rains to BRING on suf-
ficient crop for fall use.
Overstocking is bad for the stock:
1t is quite as bad for the land. Every
farmer knows that TO get profit out I
of pasture he must nave the soil
fully covered with grass and filled
chuck full of grass roots in a thrifty
condition. Close pasturing invariably
thins out the stand When the growth
is short the hot suns of July and Au-
gust parch the ground and decrease
the vitality of the grass roofs, and
the result is thin and improbable
fall pasture. When you can see the
dust rising when the cattle run over
the pasture field you may know that
you are overpasturing.
