Canoe Upset

n. H. Belding came near having a good
ducking one day last week. but missed
that pleasurable experience by not taking
a canoe ride up.the river with his old time
friends. Charles Merritt and Henry Krau-
ter of Chicago. who used to be schoolmates
of his, now here spending few weeks
away from business.
Fish were not biting good that day; the
canoe struck snag while long cast
was being made and the craft turned tur-
tie where you couldn't see bottom. Mr..
Belding wasn't there; If he had been he
have got wetter than his friends for he
isn't as tall as they. The sun hadn't
dried their clothes when they hove in sight

FEED FOR HOGS.
Cleanliness of the utmost importance
in Summer.

Every farmer knows that clean food
for hogs is of the utmost Importance
especially in hot weather Still. a
great many will often permit the swill
barrel to become filthy. This is very
dangerous TO the health of the hogs
during summer Doubtless diseases
often start among many hogs from
this source. There are many ills that
affect hogs besides hog cholera, though
some may think that hog cholera is
the only thing to be guarded against
BY the decay of vegetable and tleshy
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 ptomaine
poisoning.
Rotten swill 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 a 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 run. These, says Orange
Judd Farmer, are allowed to Become
almost putrid in the hot sun of sum
mer They swarm with flies, which
may have been visiting the carcasses
of dead hogs in the pastures of ad-
joining farms. Sometimes these hogs
have died of cholera and sometimes
OF other contagious diseases. 1t is
not difficult matter to clean barrels
often, and this should be done. 1t is
all the easier to do if the cheese fac
tory has steam pipe, from which a
hose can conduct the steam into the
barrels.
II disease is to be kept off the farm,
food of the hogs must be carefully
watched. at least in summer. The mat
ter is not so important in winter, as
the flies are not carrying germs from
one place to another. and contagious
diseases will not spread with the same
rapidity Animals take i'm disease
germs mostly through their respira-
tory organs or through the organs de-
voted to the elaboration Of food. If
the food is protected. much will be
gained In the way OF protection
against disease.
