DONE Force the Pullet..

A great many make the too common
error Of forcing the pullets for egg
production from their birth on, regard
less OF the fact that such forcing is
detrimental to well matured fowls. A
pullet that has been forced for egg pro-
duction from the start invariably makes
a poor breeder.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Rhsumatisnn N pios,

Articular and muscular rheumatism
are so frequently associated in pigs
that 1t Is best to discuss them together.
Although hogs live under favorable
conditions for the development OF rlem
matism. they do not often have the
disease. This is probably due to the
presence of simultaneous fat. This
disease is attributed to damp pens
and exposure, but it may occur to pigs
when well managed. Overlooking may
also cause 1t. The muscles and joints
may both be involved and the symp-
toms be quite marked. There may be
a fever. loss Of appetite and a general
lack of condition. Ii the muscles of
the back are involved it Is arched and
very tender on manipulation. Stiff
ness in the gait is present, especially
If the quarters are involved.
Preventive treatment is very impOr-
tant. 1t means the provision Of dry,
comfortable quarters and the avoid
ance Of exposure. The animals should
be given sloppy food: also salicylate of
soda in twenty to forty grain doses.
Recovery occurs In two or three weeks
unless the disease becomes chronic.

Advantages - Box Stalls.

Fore leg over the halter, head under
the manager. standing with fore feet in
the manger, lying in the gangway with
head outstretched and rigid from the
halter strap, sleeping standing through
fear of lying dOwn-these are some Of
the evils that are obviated by the
adoption of the box stall.
When free and in his natural state
the horse always stands while at rest
with the fore feet on lower plane than
the hind feet. thus relieving the strain
upon the back sinews of the fore legs,
nor is this all the relief secured for
the bones of the feet and the joints
are in more natural position; hence
the flooring Of all stalls should be at
least level. and where partitiOned stalls
are imperative the floors should slope
forward instead of backward. True.
this has its drawbacks regarding
drainage. but this is only another argu-
ment in favor of the box stall.-Chica.

Cattle Tiek..

The eradication of cattle ticks is
believed to be possible If all suggested
precautions are taken. Cattle and
premises may be freed from ticks by
hand picking the cattle and destroying
the ticks, after which the cattle may be
thoroughly creased. Infested cattle
should be examined every other day,
attention being given to the inside and
back. portion of the thighs, where the
ticks are liable to be most numerous.
For greasing the cattle crude oil Is rec
commended or cottOnseed oil, fish oil
or lard Where farmer owns but a
few head of cattle, the cattle may be
picketed on tick free pasture and occa-
sionally moved, taking care to avoid
these localities for snine months there
after. Department OF Agriculture.
