HEALTH OF SWINE.
Charcoal and Other Correctives Need
ed to Ward Off Disease.

] Under some conditions swine show
a decided craving for such substances
as charcoal, charred corncobs, soft
coal, wood ashes, soft sandstone, soft
bricks, bits of mortar, rotten wood
and soapsuds; also earth Such
craving when markedly present is evil
dence that the swine are not getting
in the food all the elements that they
need. In order to meet this need it is
recommended that some at least Of
these substances shall be given to
them artiicially. Those most COM
monty recommended are charcoal,
charred cOrncobs and wood ashes
These are put in self feeders and are
made accessible to the swine.
A writer In the Breeders Gazette,
Chicago, tells how to make one Of
these self feeders, as follows:
| would suggest box with frame Of |

by 4 inch pine, set inside a shallow F.

'ox should be toe nailed to the bottom.

ment? 1t is simply inhuman, but it's
common. A day or two later l saw
another in a well fenced inclosure,
with an overhead wire firmly attached
to strong posts, set forty feet apart
at the ends of the pen, and chain
connecting the bulls nose to the wire.
Here he Travelled day after day, the
fence too high for him to see other
cattle, but with plenty of room for ex-
ercise. The good nature of this ami
NAL told of the success of humane
treatment. 1t is not only cruelty to
keep a bull closely chained day after
day and year after year, but, more than
that, it will ruin the disposition of an
kind animal. The law of
holds here, and the bull
suffering for exercise cannot be as
good a breeder as his neighbor made
in every way. Try it."

SELF FEEDER FOR HOGS.

The whole Of the upright part should
be made Of matched lumber, leaving
an open space on each Of the four
sides at the bottom of about three
inches for the mixture to work down
where the hogs can get 1t. The box
should be covered to prevent rain get
ting the mixture wet.
Our plan in making cob charcoal is
to dig pit five feet deep and about
five feet in diameter. If the soil is
such that there is danger of caving,
wall the pit up with brick or stone.
Have a sheet iron cover made large
enough to cover the top Of the pit.
Start fire in pit and add cobs as fast
as those burning come to a glow or
red Goals. Keep doing this till the pit
Is full. Then pour on one or more bar
rels Of water In which enough salt has
been dissolved to make 1t quite salty.
About two pounds Of copperas pulver-
lied and dissolved in the water would
be good preventive Of worms. Pour
this water over the burning mass till
the fire is put out. Then cover the pit
with the iron cover, being sure that no
air can get under the cover to cause 1t
again to burn. Leave till the next day,
when you Will have pit full of a fine
mixture that your hogs will eat In
preference to anything you can offer
them.
Wood ashes In proportion of eight
parts ashes to one part salt will also be
good mixture to keep before the hogs.

No colt should start into winter thin

lets-Salting the Flock.
While the man vtN is going in for
sheep usually selecS the breed best
adapted to the soil and climate of his
locality, the experience Of F. G. Scott
of New Hampshire may prove Of
value. Mr.. Scott prefers the Ram
bouillets, and he tells why as follows:
Fencing has not been difficult mat
ter at cur farm. One barbed wire or
stone wall Of ordinary height Is sufl-
cient for my sheep In this connection
when starting in the sheep business
1t is important to get ewes that are
not breachy. This was one Of the
things which led me to choose western
bred Rambouillet ewes. They simply
don't know how to jump a fence, ow-
ing to conditions under which they
were raised in the far west
They also flock closely together III /

Wood Ashes as Medicine.

Wood ash seems to be curious rem
edy for diseases In animals, yet its yir-
tues In that capacity are much appre-
ciated in Mashonaland. One well
known farmer In that country has
raised pigs on a very extensive scale
for nearly twenty years without ever
receiving a visitation of cholera or
swine fever and with loss of only 2
per cent of his animals from plague.
He attributes his good fortune to the
fact that he keeps wood ashes and
charcoal mixed with salt constantly
before his pigs. The mixture is kept
IN large covered boxes, with holes
bored near the bottom, from which the
work the stuff out as fast as
they want 1t. They never, it appears, |
eat more of It than is good for them.

High Finish In Baby Beef.
The value Of high finish in all classes
| of beef is too little needed, but In some
| classes Of beef it Is not nearly so i'm
| portant as In others. 1t will not pay to
spend very much food on some ami
mails with a view to giving them
high finish for the reason that they are
not susceptible of taking such finish
readily and when put on the market
will not bring a top price. But 1t is
different with baby beef The animals
are young and are usually susceptible
of taking on a high finish if they are
fed right. OF course some steers will
not take SO high a finish as others.
