Broken Down Swine.

The breaking down Of swine in the
hind legs or all tours is a we'll known
difficulty that farmers are obliged to
contend with, says the Farm Journal.
Animals begin by showing weakness in
the hind legs or a knuckling I'VE Of
the rear fetlock joints and if not given
treatment 10 become helpless. 1t is
believed to be due to the overlooking
Of corn for generations, to the exclu-
sion of the phosphate supplying grains.
The trouble is seen most frequently
in brood sows which exhaust this ele-
ment in n%ourishing the fetus and sue
king the young. 1t should be warded
against by feeding the SOW during
pregnancy and while nursing on ground
oats, bran and oilmeal, with as much
milk as possible.
With the first symptoms the follow
ing treatment should be begun, both
for sows and for shotes three or four
months Of age: One tablespoonful Of
cod liver oil, fifteen grains Of phos-
phate Of lime and three drops of the
fluid extract of nux vomica at a dose
in a little food twice a day for several
weeks if necessary. A cure cannot
be guaranteed when the case has run
too long

CONTAGIOUS Abortion.

I have handled dairy COWS for the
last fifteen years and I I'm glad to say
that I have W had any case of con
tagious abortion, writes a correspondent
Of the Country Gentleman. I have al
ways made it a practice a: least twice
a week all through the winter to mix
up a gallon Of so of warm water and
some carbolic dip solution, get a dandy
brush and dip in mixture and give
every COW and heifer in the barn a
good soaking all around the tail head
and let it run down the tail. Do this
in the middle of the day and there will
be no danger Of the disinfectant's fla
voring the milk. l know of three
neighboring farms where this was
done summer and winter, and for five
years not a single case Of abortion oc-
CURED among a total of 1875 dairy

Choppinq the Rouehaqe.

When concentrates are made up of
heavy feeds like corr chop, c%ottonseed
meal, oilmeal. ETC., we have always
favored chopping a portion Of the
roughage, moistening it and mixing it
with the concentrates. 1t has been
found that the dairy COW does better
when she is fed a ration somewhat
light in its mechanical makeup, it not
too much corn is used. In the absence
Of roots or silage we would suggest
that about one pound of the linseed
meal be fed daily to each COW. We
should feed from twelve to fifteen
pounds Of the clover hay and all the
shredded fodder the COWS will con-
sumo, not forcing them to eat the
coarser parts.-Hoard's Dairyman.

Not a Contortionist.
A merchant died, leaving to his only
son the conduct Of his extensive bust
ness, and great doubt was expressed
In some quarters whether the young
man possessed the ability to carry out
the fathers policies.
"Well," said one kindly disposed
friend, "for my part I think Henry is
very bright and capable. I'm sure he
will succeed"
perhaps you're right" said another
friend. Henry is undoubtedly q
clever fellow; but, take it from me. old
man. he hasn't got the head to fill his
fathers shoes"

; In planning a house or remodeling
the kitchen provision should be made
for storing a liberal quantity Of stove
wood, heater chunks or coal, so as to
avoid going out in the rain or snow to
the woodshed for the house supply,
which in a protracted cold spell must
be replenished Often The sketch shows
how a built-in wood box may be ar
ranged to load from the outside and
emptied from the inside. says Popular
Mechanics. A spring lock Or hasp on
the kitchen side keeps the box closed
against entry from the outside. This
box insures a lasting supply of dry
wood, as it may be built as large as
ones needs demand.

Hard SOAP Made With Soda.


Add to three pounds of washing soda
a pound and a half of unslaked lime
and two gallons Of boiling water. Let
it stand until perfectly clear, then
drain and add three pounds good, clear
fat that has been strained. Put over
the fire and boil until the mixture
hardens, which will be in about two
hours. Watch closely and stir with a
wooden stick very frequently. After
the mixture has boiled half the time
add one gallon Of cold water which
was poured on the sediment remain
ing after the two gallons Of water was
drained of. Just before taking from
the fire add a small handful Of salt.
Pour into wooden boxes or trays lined
with several thicknesses of wrapping
paper, the layer next to the soap be-
Ing oiled to prevent It's sticking. The
soap will harden in a short time, when
it can be cut into cakes and put on a
shelf to dry.

COW have a large, strong and well dis
tended digestive apparatus. For the
purpose Of developing this portion Of

a. corn silage and clover, alfalfa. or
cat hay, says 81. O.. Van Pelt in Farm
and: Fireside. Glover, alfalfa or oat
hay r specified In preference to tim
othy hay, cor slower or straw, be:
cause they contain a much. larger per-
centage Of protein, which nutrient is
useful in growing bone and muscle,
and for this reason by their use great
er growth Of the COW will be secured.
Small potatoes, mangels and carrots
are very useful for winter feeding in
that they + succulent and keep the
digestive apparatus in excellent condi-
ton.
It is not advisable to feed her heav-
lily Of concentrated grains until after
she freshens. Four pounds a day of a
mixture of equal parts ground corn,
ground oats, bran and oilmeal will
keep her in excellent condition and
growing rapidly when fed in conjunc-
ton with the roughage.
There is a difference of opinion as to
when heifers should freshen, but if
fed we'll during their early life they
are large and strong at the age Of
twenty-four months and should freshen
then in order that they may early in
life attain the habit of converting a
large portion of their food into milk
and butter fat rather than into beef
and body fat. If, on the other hand.
the COW is small for her age, breed
considered, it is oftentimes better to
allow her to develop further and
freshen at the age Of thirty months.

THE .slLo.

In considering cheap feeding
and feeding for the best results
the silo must not be overlooked.
The silo is growing in popularity
year after year. 1t furnishes
cheap feed and good feed. 1t is
an easy solution to the feed
question. One acre Of corn
stalks in the silo is worth five
acres outside. One hundred tons
of silage in the silo can be hous-
ed in this form much cheaper in
deed than can a hundred tons Of
hay in the NOV.
=. -Silage alone is not a complete
feed, but it is identical with the
! green cornstalk and during the
season Of dry feed supplies. the
cow with that succulence which
nearly all other rations, excepting
a}ration involving alfalfa hay. do
not have. Silage and alfalfa hay
Will make a balanced ration and,
cheap. Study the silo question.
i, It Is worth while. It is worth
while whether you are milking a
single cow or not. Horses, hogs.
pigs and calves eat ailage and
thrive on 1t - well 10 does the
dairy COW.
