HEALTHY QUARTERS FOR PIGS
Animals Affected With Rheumatism
Generally Become Unthrifty--keep
Houses Thoroughly Dry.

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 win 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 a dry, sani-
tary condition.
When affected with rheumatism,
the animals generally becomes unthrif-
ty, and fail to make proper use of
their feed, the appetite becomes dull
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. If the hog house has a ce-
ment floor, false wooden floors should
be provided, especially in the sleeping
apartment of the building.
Other treatment is of little avail il
comfortable sanitary quarters are not
provided.

six months ago there was another
outburst Of optimism as naive as
though the world were still living in the
sentimental era OF glass exhibitions
Since then there has opened another
era Of political earthquakes and con-
fagrations. and the area of disturb
ance continues to extend. Before the
Tripoli problem has been safely liquid
ated or the peace Of the Balkans is as

of an insurrection which may change

incalculable increase of force to all

EXCELLENT FOOD FOR STOCK
Carrots, Turnips. 5eets, Mangels and
Potatoes Are Easily Digested and
Keep Animals Healthy.

Better plant that extra patch next
year in vegetables for your live
stock. Beets, potatoes, carrots, tur-
nips, and mangels are good food for
animals. They are easily digested and
keep the animal in good health.
Roots should be prepared property
before being fed. They should be
shredded or sliced and mixed with
chaffed hay. They also may be cook
ed or steamed, which makes a mash
of them.
Beets are fed quite extensively in
sections where sugar beets are grown
and show good results A test with
ten cows made in France shows that
it is more profitable to feed the re-
sidue or pulp from the sugar factory
to cows than the whole beet. Man
gels are very good feed for dairy
cows and sheep. From 40 to so
pounds may be fed to dairy cows
daily. Fattening cattle may have 100
pounds and pigs four to twenty
pounds, daily. in proportion to their
size.
Carrots may be fed to horses and
cattle. They will prevent CHAMBERS
and digestive troubles. Potatoes and
turnips are also good for stock and
may be fed in much the same way as
beets. A farmer who has fed roots
to his stock for many years says that
by feeding two-thirds roots and one
third grain he receives good results.
Roots may be kept for winter use by
storing in piles of twenty bushels
each and covering with straw and
earth.
