THE HOG HOUSE.
Ample Overhead Ventilation Needed to
Avoid Swine Fever.

AN0f0 SWihS rcNSFs
Too many men who keep hogs pay
no attention to the ventilation of their
winter quarters. or if they attempt to
ventilate at all they do little more than
leave a few cracks around the bottom
through which the cold air can get in.
but provide no way for it to get out
Experience has shown that drafts are
the prime promoters of colds. which
develop into pneumonia and what is
generally known as swine fever, says
the American Farm World. 1t is i'm
portant that the bottom boards of the
hog house should be thoroughly well
oattened, and the divisions between
fhe pens should be treated in the same
way.
Ample ventilation should be provided
from the top of the house and not by
underneath drafts. Who has not seen
hogs piled upon each other in cold
weather. shivering, i~hting to get into
warm place? Under such conditions
flesh, and there are nine chances in
ten that he will take cold. which may
develop into serious lung trouble
Overhead ventilation is easily Secur-
ed by leaving an open space of, say.
" six inches between the top of the out
side wall and the roof An English
farmer who has had great success with
hogs builds his houses with a section
of the wall hung on swivel pin in
the middle which can be swung open
whenever sunlight and air are needed.
When the section is released it swings
back into an upright position by gravi-
tation.
In order to let the rays of the sun
into every part of the building the
houses have been laid out north and
south. so that by opening the wall
shutters on the east side the morning
sun is let in and by opening those on
the west side the rays of the afternoon
sun can penetrate to every part of the
house, keeping it sweet and clean.

That all cream is not good cream Is
a fact generally conceded by careful
diarymen. The surest way to improve
its quality is to improve the quality OF
milk. Even where a great deal of care
is exercised in milking and afterward
that there will be some taint or bad
favor Sometimes the fault is with a
single COW. 1t may seem to be charac-
teristic of her milk at times or the
whole herd may yield an i'll favored
product for day or more. due to hav
ing eaten moldy feed. turnips, garlic
or obnoxious weeds or forage. The
neither is the butter which is made
from it, and it hardly pays to spoil
a good reputation at the creamery or
store by getting rid of an occasional
poor product in this way.
Some work has been done of late at
the Virginia station that promises to
improve the quality of cream from
milk of an inferior grade.
When the Milk Is "of."
AS soon as the milk is found to be
''off'' in flavor the cause should be
learned. If one COW is causing the
trouble Keep her milk out and treat it
separately. AS the acids and bad fla
vors are largely found in the milk Sc
rum the cream should be skinned as
close as possible. If setting pans are
in use some form of skimming cup
should be used that will allow all skim
milk to drain off before it is emptied
into the cream jar. Thus the bad fla
vor will largely be eliminated, where
if the milk had been mixed with that
of the herd of the bad flavor it would
have permeated the whole milking.
With a separator the bad favors can
be eliminated much more completely.
If only a part of the milk is tainted
the cream can be separated, then mix
ed with skim milk from an untainted
product and separated again. The
same end could be accomplished by
setting the cream screw to skim very
close, but the cream would not be uni
form with that of the usual run.
Skim as Close as Possible.
When the milk from the whole herd
is tainted the above plan must be re-
sorted to-that of skimming as close as
possible. A good machine can get most
of the cream in about one-tenth of the
weight of the milk. Such cream should
test around 40 per cent and will be al
most thick enough to cut. Practically
all the milk serum has been eliminated,
and with it have been taken the taintS
and i'll 1avors also. 1t is not likely that
more than one or two milkings will be
so contaminated.
Close skimming with the separator is
a good practice at all times. Cream
that will test 80 per cent butter fat
will stay sweet longer than that con-
tanning more milk serum. testing, say,
20 per cent. A good method of improv-
ing the quality of cream as above sug-
gested should be of considerable value,
Especially to the individual who retails
cream to private trade. AS means,
however, of producing good product
it should be of secondary Importance.
The primary object, says Homestead,
is to produce clean, pure milk; then
good cream will be insured.

Rheumatism In Hogs.

At this season Of the year, when the
weather changes are frequent, extra
precautions in the hogpen will pay.
Avoid damp bedding and, above all
things, shut off the cold, damp winds.
Hogs that are well kept are especially
susceptible to rheumatism. Now. don't
go and turn your hogs out In the cold
in order to make them hardy. so they
will be able to ward off the disease.
It will be more profitable for you to
give them reasonable protection. On
the other hand, do not think it neces-
sary to have a frost proof. air tight
hog house. There Is reason in all
things, especially In caring for hogs.

THE SWINEHERD

Hogs will not thrive in damp, dirty.
attempts to raise them for market un-
der these conditions is simply working
against himself. He not only loses
the greater portion Of his feed, but his
time and labor as well.
Condiments at All Times.
Condiments must be provided for
the hogs at all times. These are not
costly. They consist of wood ashes,
soft coal broken into small bits, NOR
tar, rotten wood or anything of that
character. Hogs eat these readily. and
they are great aids in keeping them in
health and consequently in growing
rapidly and fattening quickly. The
animals must have some salt, the same
as other live stock on the farm.
Dipping Very Essential.
Dipping hogs Is very essential to the
health Of the animals. 1t keeps them
free of mites and scab diseases, makes
them more thrifty and consequently
more profitable. Dipping should be
done twice each year. 1t is not diff
cult operation after the dipping plant
is established.
Swine Notes.
You can't get the best results by
breeding immature animals.
A good SOW in perfect health will
lose flesh while sucking her pigs.
Even the best bred hogs will put
their feet in the trough if they can.
Burn some cobs to a charcoal and
give the hogs some now and then. 1t
helps to keep them healthy.
Avoid drafts in the hog house. A
hog is susceptible to colds and rheu-
matism as well as people.
Look out for holes in the bottom of
the pen. Hogs are great on the gnaw-
ing business. First you know there
may be hole and broken leg.
A good hog without pedigree Is bet
ter than a fair one with it.
The boar at the head Of the herd
should be changed often. The good
brood sows should be retained as long
as their usefulness continues.
Breed the sows SO they will farrow
in groups of, say, five. The pigs may be
divided at pleasure then, and fewer
sows will be sucking pigs than If the
pigs come at different times. Besides,
It Is almost as easy to look after five
sows as one.
Convenience in feeding and watering
stock is thing to be sought for by all.
Especially is this true Of swine, where
there is SO much feeding and watering
to be done. 1t is quite chase to keep
the watering troughs free from ice in
freezing weather.
Every fine day give the brood sows
exercise In the ofen air. Scatter lit
tie shelled corn on the ground to en-
courage them to move around.
Fresh clean water should be given
to the hogs every day to drink; also a
good allowance OF roots should be given
them daily.

EertiIizind Value of Food,

In fattening cattle the value of the
manure is usually set off against th"
cost Of labor The fertilizing value
ton Of clover hay at present prices
for nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot
ash is estimated at above 81. With
the grains fed the fertilizing value
varies, but it is highest with those
that are more nitrogenous. Of the
fertilizer ingredients consumed in the
feed over 80 per cent is distributed up
on the land in the manure.-Professor
