AVOID RHEUMATISM IN HOGS
disease 10 Commonly Caused by Allow
Ing Animals 10 Sleep In Damp
and Filthy Quarters.

Rheumatism is commonly caused by
allowing hogs to sleep in damp, filthy
and improperly ventilated quarters.
The system Of ventilation should be
such that there will be no direct cur
rents Of air striking the animals. The
sun should have free access to the
houses at all times. This will keep
the sleeping quarters in dry, sanitary
condition.
When affected with rheumatism, the
animals generally become unthrifty,
and fail to make proper use Of their
feed, the appetite becomes dun, which
gives rise to the rough, scraggy coat.
Prevention should be the first aim Of
the owner, and to accomplish this, the
yards, pastures and houses should be
made dry and clean. Damp bedding
and cold floors should be avoided. II
the hog house has a cemented floor,
false wooden floors should be provided,
especially in the sleeping apartment Of
the building.
Other treatment is of little avail II
comfortable sanitary quarters are not
provided.

It is seldom that stock submits pa

frequently necessary to spray cattle
and horses in order to free them from
some pest, ticks, mango or other trou-
BILE, the easiest method Of carrying
forward the work should be employed.
Where many animals are to be
treated II would be advisable to con-
struct chamber or chute through
which they may be driven from a yard
and the spray applied from all direc-
lions as they pass. Such an apparatus
has been used with much success to
relieve stock Of ticks and mango in
the west, and could readily be con-

THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW
Many Women There Are Who Will
Understand Just Why Long-suf-

Several years ago an Atchison cou-
pie were living happily together. The
community was shocked one day when
the wife applied for divorce and got
It. The story Of the divorce has come
out. It seems that the wife went into

made bread, pies, cake, cookies and
pork and beans. She boiled tongue.
made a potato salad, stuffed eggs.
made a custard and brown bread.
When her husband came home at 6
o'clock in the evening he found her
dressed up. And on the table was
cold tongue, pork and beans, fresh
bread, cake, cookies, pie. potato salad,
stuffed eggs, brown bread and GUS
tard. The wife thought her husband
would say: You poor darling, how
you have worked today" Instead, he
said in a surprised way: COLD sup
per! Lord, but you have an easy
time!" His wife did not answer him.
She was speechless with rage, and
he does not know to this day why she

succession Of crops should be grown
80 that the hogs will have continuous
pasture throughout the season.
When young nursing pigs begin to
scour, It is evident that the milk Of
the SOW is disagreeing with them and
immediate attention therefore should
be directed toward improving her
ration. Most often the trouble comes
from over feeding on corn, or other
rich food. just after narrowing, and
pigs Of fat, flabby, pampered, cross,
nervous, constipated sows, are most
apt to suffer. Sudden changes of
food, or feeding sour or decomposing
slop, or food from dirty troughs, or
sour swill barrels, also tend to cause
diarrhoea either in nursing pigs or
those that have been weaned, and all
such causes should be prevented or
removed.
To correct securing In nursing pigs,
give the SOW Is to 20 grains sulphate

A portable fence with support to be
used for enclosing temporary quarters
and lots is illustrated. The support
should be securely nailed to stakes
driven into the ground on each side.

weight. The gain thus produced in
the young pigs indirectly through the
SOW, was cheap and more economical
that lateral gains.
When the pigs ae two or three weeks
old they will begin to take food given
them from separate trough made
but few inches deep. Skim milk or
thin porridge Of mlddlings is greatly
relished at this time. AS soon as
they begin to eat freely they should
be crowded with feed, since the most
economical gains in the life Of the
pigs are made at this time. Pigs
should be fed so as to gain in weight
from one-half pound to a pound a day
from the time they are three weeks old
until they are marketed.
Young growing pigs should have
plenty Of green pasture, pure water
and grain. The old method of allow.
ing pigs to grow for a year on pasture
or in wood lots without other feed is
expensive and not now practiced by
those who make a success in grow
ing hogs for pork. On pasture alone
hogs make too slow gains for profit.

able condition. Pigs at pasture, how
ever, make the best use Of the grain
fed to them.
Some of the best green feeds for
hogs are alfalfa, clover, rape, COW peas,
peanuts. artichokes and sweet pota-
toes. Hogs are wasteful grazers and
tho fields Of pasture crops should be
arranged with movable fences in such
a manner that the hogs can pasture
only on a small portion at a time. A
