FEEDING HOGS.

cssan Food Of The Utmost Importance
- - In Hot Weather. sti zss
Every farmer knows that clean food
for hogs is Of the utmost Importance,
especially In hot weather Still great
many Will often permit the iswill bars
rel to become filthy. This is very
dangerous to the health of the hoes
during summer. Doubtless diseases
often start among many hogs from
this source, says q writer in American
sAgriculturist. There are many Ills
that affect hogs besides hog cholera,
although some may think that hog
cholera is the only thing to be guard
ed against. By the decay of vegetable
and feshy matter various poisons are
elaborated, and we must guard against
these as well as hog cholera. There
is no doubt that animals as well as
human beings are often killed by pto-
maine poisoning.
Avoid Rotten Swill. ....
Rotten swiIl is unfit for hogs as GER
tainly as other rotten food. Some feed
their hogs whey brought from the
cheese factory. Often, as factory men
know, the whey tanks are very dirty,
not having been cleaned perhaps for
months. The farmers who use this
whey should make such vigorous
protest against dirty tanks that the
factory men will see that they are
cleaned often.
Some of the factories do not even
have tanks, but have row of barrels
near the factory buildings, into which
the whey is rum These are allowed to
become almost putrid in the hot sun
of summer. They swarm with flies,
which may have been visiting the car
casses of dead hogs in the pastures of
adjoining farms. Sometimes these
hogs have died of cholera and some
times of other contagious diseases. 1t
is not a difficult matter to clean bar
rels often, and this should be done.
1t is all the easier to do if the cheese
factory has a steam pipe from which
a hose can conduct the steam into the
barrels.
Protection Against Disease.
If disease is to be kept off the farm,
food of the hogs must be carefully
watched, at least in summer. The
matter is not so important in winter,
as the flies are not carrying germs
from one place to another, and con-
tageous diseases will not spread with
the same rapidity. Animals take in
disease germs mostly through their
respiratory organs or through the Or
gans devoted to the elaboration of food.
If the food is protected, much will be
gained in the way of protection against
disease.

Bowers PhilosophY,


Uncle Michael X. Boyer has the fol
lowing bits of philosophy in the Farm
Journal:
All the world loves the egg maker.
A few neglects in the poultry yard
are apt to upset the profits.
1t is bad economy to cut down the
quality of the feed. Poor food is
wasteful.
Each flock has good. bad and indiffer-
ent layers. 1t will pay to Gull out the
Improbable ones.
The first year the beginner thinks he
knows it all; five years after that he
finds that he was mistaken
Trouble promptly Investigated gen
orally leads on to Il remedy. Don't
foid your arms and sigh that it is
just your luck"

This house is practically round twelve
cornered), with yards radiating in the
shape of a wheel in all directions. The
diameter is forty-tive feet. The feed
room is in the center, fifteen feet in
diameter. Over the feed room is a
dome which contains six windows for
additional light and ventilation. Ev-
cry one Of the twelve pens contains
120 square feet of surface and each has
one four-light window. Reasons: Great

Hide and Seek In Groups.

Any group of four or more play
ers can have great fun in the woods
OF where there are tall grass and
other objects to hide behind. First
two leaders are chosen by any of
the usual counting out methods,
and these two leaders choose sides.
Then there is a toss up to see which
side is ''it'' first. The players on
this side all hide their eyes and
count together out loud up to, say
500. Meanwhile the players on the
other side hasten away in a group
and hide as completely as possible.
Then the search begins. When
any one Of the hunting party dis
covers the hiding group a great
shout or warwhoop is raised, and
that side has to count while the
other side hides. It should be
agreed that certain limits or boun-
daries are not to- be crossed. Where
the woods are thick or where there
is plenty of underbrush the sport is
fine.

THE HORSEMAN.

Young foals that are stabbed with
their dams during cold transforms
will thrive much better than those
which are not so protected. The idea
that exposure to inclement weather
makes foal hardy is fallacious.
Too Much Hay.
One fault with most horse owners is
the feeding of too much hay. A horse
will eat more than is necessary, and,
owing to the smallness of his stomach,
the partially digested hay is crowded
fourths of a pound of hay per hundred
pounds weight of the horse should be
fed per day, advises an authority who
makes this criticism.
Watering After Hard Work.
Watering your horse after hard
work, when heated or exhausted,
should be done carefully. Horses diff
fer as men differ; some know when
they have had enough and some do
not Let them drink frequently, but
not too much.
Feet of the Draft Horse.
The feet of the draft horse should
be large, round, wide at the hoof head,
not too shallow or too high in the
heels, and, above all, constructed of a
good, dense horn, which indicates abil-
ity to wear well.
Greasing the Feet.
Greasing is necessary for horses
which are much exposed to dampness
and is as good for the sole and frog
as for the wall. 1t is applicable also
to feet which have to stand on dry
bedding Feet which. on account of
diseased conditions, require to be fire.
quently soaked or poulticed ought also
to be creased. Bedding of peat moss
and fine sawdust, equal parts, is most
excellent All these measures may be
advantageous if the feet are properly
shod.-C. r. Wood, V. S.
Horse Sense.
The good habit horse can be spoiled
by the bad habit man.
With the team it's spare the curry
comb and spoil the coat.
The slovenly driving horse is the
product of a careless driver.
You may feed a horse corn to make
him fat, but oats are what give him
life.
Keep constantly a good sized lump
of rock salt in the feed box for the
horse to nibble at pleasure. 1t will
then take just as much as its appetite
Graves and no more than is needful.

The Popular CantaIoupe.

Scarcely any branch of horticultural
work has increased of late years like
the growing of cantaloupes. All mar
kets handle them and are glad to eX-
tend their season by getting early and
late supplies from all sections of the
country. Many varieties of melons
and cantaloupes We're formerly seen in
our markets, but present requirements
have baniShed almost all but the Net
ted Gem, or, as it is popularly known
today, the Rocky Ford. This canta-
:oupe, besides possessing the finest tex
ture and highest flavor, is almost round
and is thus easily packed. Recent seed
selection in this strain has produced
a very fine fruit, heavily netted, reg
ular in form and weighing about
pound each.-W. n. HUT.

FILLING THE SILO.

will have the tendency to partially
shred the stalk, and there will be no
butts refused by the animals.
The material in the silo should be
kept level and well trampled, especial
ly around the sides of the silo, and it
pays to have sufficient help for this
work. Where considerable silage is
put up it pays to have a corn harvest
er and binder, which economies hand
labor.
The foregoing timely advice is given
by DR.. G. A. Billings in American Ag-
riculturist, and the cut shows part of
the outfit used at the New Jersey ex-
pertinent station in filling the silo for
fall and winter feed. The source of
power for running the cutter and blow
er is a gasoline engine, which gives
very great satisfaction.

Utilizing Skim Milk.

There are many fruit farms on
which the flock of fowls is becoming
every year a large factor. The by
products of these are utilized to some
extent for the poultry, but not SO
much as the byproducts Of the dairy
farm. There is no better way of util-
zing skim milk than by feeding to
poultry, suggests Kansas Farmer.
When this skim milk is allowed to
sour and is made into curd for the
fowls it is still more extensively
available. There is no byproduct that
need go to waste when you have plen-
ty of chickens around. They are the
scavengers of the farm and make lots
of waste material into good fresh
eggs.

WHITE DlARRHEA.
a Theory That Chilling Causes This
Disease In Chicks.

d. D. Cavanaugh of Chicago, Ill,
has the following in Reliable Poultry
Journal:
lam positively sure that there is but
one thing that will cause white diar-
fhea among newly hatched chicks.
White diarrhea is only contracted
during the first week or ten days after
Matching and is caused by the little
newly Matched chick or poult being
chilled after being hatched and before
the yolk which the chick draws inside
Just before breaking the shell is fully
digested or absorbed. / have tried
every known way to cause diarrhea
in properly Matched and brooded chicks
without success, and on the other hand
I can cause any newly hatched chick
to have diarrhea just by chilling it
the first two or three days. Feed,
breeding stock, etc, have nothing to
do in the case. If breeders would just
discontinue the use of the nursery in
the incubators and allow their chicks
to become at least forty hours old be-
fore removing them to the brooders,
the diarrhea would be a thing of the
past l have had many arguments oD
this subject, but have always proved
my claim.
Chicks should be kept under the hen
or on the egg tray of the machine un-
til they are dry and strong. Never
allow them in the incubator nursery
unless the nursery is heated to about
100 degrees three inches from the
floor. A nursery that is cooler than
100 degrees is apt to chill the young
sters, especially if the chicks are not
dry. 1t is the same with the brood
ers. See that the hover apartment is
at least 100 degrees and the feed room
about rs or so degrees, and you can
feed what you want without fear of
the white diarrhea. If chick gets
chilled after it is ten days old, instead
of diarrhea it will become stunted
and seldom worth raising.
White diarrhea is not contagious,
as some persons think, and there is no
cure for it except heat, and that is not
sure. Red pepper is good thing for
heating up older chicks that have be-
come chilled, and it will often save
few, but the very best treatment Is to
prevent the trouble by warmth.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
StsssP and wifi to q Lively Game For
Out of Doors.

Tear piece of paper into as
many pieces as there are players,
and on each piece write some num-
ber representing an hour Of the day.
As there are only twelve hours there
can be only twelve numbers, but if
more than twelve are playing you
can make some of the numbers half
hours until there is the required
amount. :
On one piece mark a cross and
then shake all the numbers in a hat,
each player drawing one out. The
one who gets the slip with the cross
on it is "it, ]" or the "wolf," while
the others players are called sheep.
A ring is then formed by the
sheep, the wolf standing in the mid
die. The sheep then call out,
"What time will you dine tonight,
old wolf? ?" and Mr.. Wolf calls out
any hour he happens to think of.
The sheep then who holds the slip
corresponding to the number called
by the wolf starts to run. If he
can get around the ring three times
before being caught by the wolf
he is safe; if not, he must be wolf.
The game keeps up until all have
had their turn at being wolf, and
this does not take long, for the wolf
is not supposed to call the same
number twice.

Corn Should Not Be Too Gresn-cut-
ting and Putting It Up.


ting and Putting 1t Up.
Many people make Sthe mistake OF
cutting corn too green for sflage. At
this stage there is a larger percentage
of water, and the silage when taken
out has large amount of acid, less
starch and sugar and hence is less nu-
ritious. Corn planted in drills with
stalks eight to ten inches apart will
mature a good proportion of ears.
, Harvesting should not begin until
the ears are passing the roasting stage
and begin to glaze. Unless the season
is exceptionally dry the stalks and
leaves will remain green, but too ma
ture or dry corn is more liable to mold.
This may be found In spots around the
sides or more generally over the silo
wherever the air has gained access to
cause the fungous growth. This condi-
ton may be improved by tramping the
material carefully in the silo, adding
water by sprinkling with hose, or if
this is not available direct a stream Of
water into the blower or elevator suf-
ficient to saturate the cut fodder. This
moisture assists the material to settle
anu dCLS DIS d seal W hecp OuI Tic oil.
There should be labor. and teams
enough to keep the cutter running
steadily. Nothing is gained by cutting
large amount of corn beforehand
hauling and piling near the machine
to be handled over again. Aim to har-
vest at the least expense a ton. This
will be accomplished as follows: If
hand cutting is practiced, cut and hand
directly to the man loading, not throw
ing on the ground in bundles, which
will require an extra handling. Let
each load come to the table of the ma
chine in turn, handing the corn direct
Iy to the feeder. If the corn is long
and heavy an extra man is needed on
the table to assist.
Power should be ample and in pro-
portion to the size of the cutter. The
blower is replacing the elevator ma
chine, economizing space and largely
doing away with the stopping Of an
entire crew to repair the elevator. If
the corn is heavy and the stalk large
