Changing Lots Cor swine.

Where swine are raised in sufficient
numbers 50 that they are herded in
small Enclosures, it Is essential to
change these lots yearly if one would
avoid the danger of cholera or other
diseases The way to accomplish this
to the best advantage is to have the
swine distributed in small colonies, each
with Il movable house. Have the lots
Of double size, using one-half Of each
lot during the early part of the season
and the other half at the latter part
This will carry one through the season
with little danger of trouble. and then
these lots should be abandoned for
swine. being cultivated the next year
and new lots provided for the swine.
This is considerable trouble to be sure.
but there is no way more certain TO
avoid disease than this. Particularly
Is this plan valuable in sections where
the soil is inclined to be heavy so that
the filth made by the swine does not
drain into the soil readily.

Is Your Dairy Farm Success:


made in the dairy business? If not,
why not? This is question which
every dissatisfied dairyman may well
ask himself. When n business man or
manufacturer finds his business is not
paying to suit him he seeks for the
causes Of loss and strives to eliminate
them.
If we investigate we shall find that
the successful dairymen attend to every
little detail that affects their business.
They look at everything from bust
ness standpoint, save wherever any
thing can be saved, and discard ami
mails or methods that don't pay.
If you are not one of the success
full dairymen, look around and see why
you are not. There is reason for
everything, and when you know the
reason you are in position to remedy
the trouble. If you have no liking for
your business, the sooner you change
to something you do like the better it
will be for you and those dependent up
on you. Have you tested your cows
individually and discarded those which
show by their own performance that
they are not profitable? The Babcock

are profitable and which are not, and it
