WEAVING PIGS.
How to Handle Them During the Most
Critical Period of Their Growth.

The weaving period is the most
critical period in the pigs life. Hog
raisers make two mistakes in weaving
pigs. First. in weaving altogether too
young. and second, In not getting them
used to eating before weaving. A pig
is not in condition to depend altogeth-
err on feed from the trough before it is
at least ten weeks old. Although it
may seem previous to this time that
they are not getting much sustenance
from their mother, that little helps
ers so they will keep up a good flow
of milk until the pigs can fully depend
on themselves.
All young things have weak stom-
ach, or putting it in better words, all
young animals stomachs are deranged
very easily, hence the necessity of
feeding them on feeds that are not fill
ed with hulls, such as are found in
barley or oatmeal, says Northwestern
Agriculturist. All grains made into
slop should first have these hulls re-
moved and then be soaked but not al
lowed to sour before being fed. There
should always be a side trough pro-
vided for the little pigs while they are
running with their mothers. where
they can learn to eat and then they
will do much better at weaving time
At weaving time If 1t can be so
arranged that the mothers can be
removed and the pigs left in their
old runs and sleeping and feeding
places. they will feel more at home
and will not worry nearly so much
as when the pigs are taken away and
put in strange quarters. It will also
pay to give particular attention to
their beds at this critical time.

CEMENT DIPPING TANK.

An excellent dipping tank can be
made of cement. 1t can be built as
cheap or cheaper than with boards
and is much more durable. We would
advise all who are contemplating max
ing any articles of cement, whether it
be tanks, posts, sidewalks or anything
else to send to the secretary of agri-
culture. Washington, for farmers bull

wider than the interior of the tank is
to be. The end of the tank from
which the animals will make their exit
should be slanting, as shown at A in
the drawing. After the hole has been
dug, mix the mortar at the rate Of one
part cement to three parts sand. Fill
in the bottom of the hole with a
smooth layer, four inches thick. Leave
this till 1t has dried sufficiently to
hold up a man. Then make a box out

SCRATCHES IN HORSES.
Simple Abrasons of Skin may Result
in Permanent Defect.

We see grease heels and itchy legs
in very many stables, especially where
draft horses are being raised. When
a horse gets a grease leg he is at once
pronounced an unsound horse, simply
from the fact that this leg cannot in
most cases be reduced to its normal
size. Grease legs usually begin with
scratches, which is caused by a bad
condition of the horses blood.
Some horses are much more subject
to this than others, in fact it has been
claimed that horses with round bone
are more subject to these defects than
the flatter boned breeds. l have
found that the horses most subject
to these disorders are those that have
either been improperly fed or have
been worked too heavily and become
run down in condition. Frequently a
mare that has been nursing a colt
during the summer and then put into
heavy work during the fall months
and during this time fed on new
grain.
AS the mare lose5 her flesh some
swelling of the legs is noticed, and
some itching The mare is continued

ed and getting impoverished, causes

lection, besides the animal having
bad blood; such a wound it is almost
impossible to heal unless the cause is
removed.
Horses that get poor in flesh are.
subject to many ailments, ana
scratches is one of the most objec-
tionable of these.
When a horse shows any signs OF
swollen legs his case should be taken
in hand at once. The trouble then is
not hard to overcome. Very frequent
ly a change of grain with boiled feed
once a day or bran mash, with lighter
work, giving the entire system
change and rest, a light physic, such
as a pint of raw linseed oil given on
an empty stomach followed by light
food and rest will often restore the
normal condition. How much easier
this treatment is than to allow the
case to continue until the horse gets
all out of condition.
Good and proper feeding is the cure
for such troubles and in nine cases out
of every ten cases is preventive means,
says Farm Life. If the case has reach
ed the advanced stage, first thorough
ly wash the legs with an antiseptic So
luton and reduce the swelling by reg
ular exercise. apply cooling liniment
and give the swollen limbs a nice rub
bling, which will exercise the circula-
ton. Do not expect the trouble to en-
tirely disappear in week; 1t perhaps
took months to get the horse in this
condition and 1t will naturally take
time to throw this off.
Thick legs are usually the result Of
neglect in such cases. while the horse
may be able to do plenty of work after
getting thick leg he is certainly un-
sound.

should be used In making the three
perpendicular sides of the tank, but
the slanting side should be left opon
to be built after the other three walls
have dried. When this box is set into
the hole, it will leave four inches on
either side Of the sides and four inches
on the perpendicular end of the box
and the walls. Fill in the mortar in
this opening and leave till it has suf-
ficiently dried to remove the box.
Then the floor on the slant should be
made. Start at the bottom and put on
a layer of cement four inches thick,
allowing it to reach six inches upward
on the incline. At the top of this
layer. six inches wide, place riece Of
2x2 so that 1t will extend one inch
above the surface of the cement.
Then put another layer of cement six
inches wide above this in the slant,
finishing with another 2x2. Continue
this till the entire incline has been
covered. 1t is necessary to have the
2X2s imbedded in the cement to af-
ford a foothold for the animal when it
attempts to come out of the tank, as
cement is very slippery.
In some of the western states,
where the soil is naturally dry and
very hard. a great many make dipping
tanks by simply plastering the interior
walls of dirt with two or three coats
OF cement. Such a method of con-
struction will answer the purpose
when none but hogs and sheep are to
be dipped. but for the larger animals
there is danger of the cement being
broken and the dip wasted. 1t is
much more durable and a great deal
cheaper in the end to make four-inch
walls as suggested above. The tank
should be SO located that it can be
easily fenced. Usually by placing it
at one side of the hog pens, but one
side need be fenced. the hog fence
serving for the other side.

Value of School Gardens.


A very important point in connection
with the school garden is the fact that
it furnishes an opportunity for the
physical and moral development, as
we'll as the mental developing of a per-
son to the greatest extent, says the
Los Angeles Times. Too many chill
dren are injured in our schoolrooms by
uninterrupted study. Where there is
Sufficient space to allow an individual
garden for each pupil, better work
can be accomplished, as it develops the
Individual characteristics. Even If the
gardens are small, a great deal of good
may be done. Something besides gar
dening is taught-patience, forbear-
ance, respect for the rights of others.
An education that does not fit a person
to be better able to support himself
and those dependent upon him certain
ly falls far short of what it should. It
should also make him a better citizen,
for that is one of the greatest reasons
that state funds are continually appro-
prtated for the establishment and main
tenance of our public schools. Those
who have had a full experience in
school gardens are in many ways bet
ter fitted to fight the battle of life.

REvIvlNG DEAD TOWNS.
Big Farms That Must Be Broken Up
Into Small Places.

INTO SmSIi Races. 4
The country is full Of small towns
which have ceased to grow and are al
ready decadent. Their merchants CON-
plain of lack of business, mechanics
find scanty employment, building has
ceased; the farmer who has accumulat-
ed q competency and wishes to live In
town builds his new home in some
large city instead Of in the place near
which he made his money. The longed
for factories, which it was thought
would be attracted by the advantages
OF the site, do not come; immigration
passes it by. AS the citizens look at
the beautiful country around them
they wonder at the vagaries of fate.
But the secret of it all lies in the
use to which that beautiful country is
put, says MaxwelIs Talisman. In
quiry will reveal the fact that 1t has
all been absorbed In a limited number
of big farms, say, of from 100 to 500
acres each. The laborers who supply
the needs of these farms at seedtime
and harvest are transients. There is
no rural population surrounding the
town sufficient to furnish it with bust
ness on which to thrive. Let the mer.
chants and business mel devote to
the breaking up of a portion of these
farms into home crofts a portion of
such effort rs they have vainly spent
in endeavoring to secure the location
In their town of manufacturing enter
prises and the cure of decadence is
found. Each big farm heretofore occu-
pied by a single family becomes the
seat of from twenty to 100 families,
dwelling on crofts of from one to TWEEN
ty acres each. Then there are several
thousand persons for the stores and
shops to serve, where they now serve
only a hundred or two. To a small
town thus surrounded new business
comes without being coaxed.
Here are some facts, the digestion
and application of which by the inf1u-
entail property owners In the slow
town will mean a great deal to them
and their neighbors.

Two holidays in succession, devoted

schools were closed and the children
assisted the home folks in cleaning up
the home premises. Trash, tin cans
and all other kinds of litter were gath
cred and piled in the alleys. Two days
the stores and banks closed and every
body cleaned up. One hundred men
and boys were put In each alley with
wagons to load.
Never before in the history of the
city have the premises, streets and al
leys of the city been so clean as they
are today.
The plan was suggested in the Com
mercial club by President Russell, and
Mayor Bridges wrote the proclamation
for the two days holiday. Every one
caught the enthusiasm, and never have
men, women and children worked
harder than they did making Chicka-
slia a city beautiful.
