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 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 a dry. SAM
tary condition.
When affected with rheumatism,
the animals generally becomes unthrif-
ty, and fail to make proper use of
their feed, the appetite becomes duh
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 if
comfortable sanitary quarters are not
provided.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
TREATING SCOURS
IN CALVES
By PROF. 6. C. HUMPHREY
Wisconsin College of Agriculture

Calves at the university farm are
specially treated for calf scours. First,
special care is taken to avoid scours
by keeping the calves in clean, bright,
well-hghted and well-ventilated quar-
tiers. We feed them regularly until
four weeks old on two to six pounds
of their mothers milk three times
daily Care is taken to have the tenn
perature of the milk as near that OF
freshly drawn milk as possible and al
ways to have the calf pail scrupulous-
ly clean.
In spite Of all precaution we now
and then have cases of scours among
our calves. For the past two years
we have successfully treated such
cases as follows: AS soon as symp-
toms appear, two to four tablespoon
fuIs of castor oil are mixed with one
half pint of milk and given to the calf.
This is followed in four to six hours
by one teaspoonful Of a mixture Of
one part saloI and two parts sub
nitrate of bismuth. 1t can also be
given with one-half pint of new milk
or the powder placed on the tongue

Suppose the head of a tiIe-drainage
line is a foot higher than the outlet.
Then if conditions are such that the
outlet may be 37a feet deep. a fall of
L z feet may be obtained for the
entire line by making the head only
three feet deep. Also, if two stakes
are driven on opposite sides of the
proposed trench and a lath is nailed
horizontally from one to the other.

let, and the other is nailed two feet
above the ground at the head, a
straight line between these laths will
be parallel to the desired grade liue
and just five feet above it. If several
intermediate laths are nailed on line
with the two end ones a well-defined
line OF grade lathe is established. By
digging the trench until the top of a
stick five feet long held vertically on
the bottom Of the trench is in line
with the top of the laths, a perfect
grade line can be obtained.
In soils that stand up well the
trench for an entire line may be dug
before any of the tile are laid. The
digging should always be commenced
at the outlet so that the water ac-
cumulating in the trench during CON
structiOn may escape. Wherever pos
sible it is best to complete the trench
and begin laying the tile at the head
Where laying begins at the out
let, distractions are sometimes car
Tied into the tile by the water Many
soils, notably quicksand, will not
stand up long enough to permit the
entire trench to be finished before
the sides begin to slough in. Here
laying must begin at the outlet and
care must be taken to prevent the
entrance of distractions
1t is best to cover the tile only
enough to hold them in place until
the entire line is laid. In the case
OF sandy subsoil which runs easily,
clay or muck should be placed at
once around the tile for protection
from the sand Where tile are left

located. In any case it is best to
rely upon science common sense, and
an intelligent use of digging tools

EXCELLENT FOOD FOR STOCK
Carrots, TurniPs, Bets, 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 properly
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 go
pounds may be fed TO dairy cows
daily Fattening cattle may have 100
pounds and pigs four to twenty
pounds, daily, in proportion to tn ir
size
Carrots may be fed to horses and
cattle. They viii prevent CHAMBERS
and digestive troubles. Potatoes and
turniDs 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

Almost every community in south
ern Wisconsin has a tiler, a man who
lays tile two spades deep for twenty
cents rod and three spades deep
for thirty cents a rod, the farmer to
board him in each case. The old
tiler frequently manages to surround
himself with an air of mystery like
the man who, with two small willow
sticks, can so play with the super
natural as to find the best place to
dig a we'll He is little less than a
wizard. He can ,ay tile the right
way with his eyes shut. The whole
community swears by him.
Once in awhile, however, the tile

Some lines may refuse to remove any
water at all. Of course, the water
is to blame. Last July a letter came
from Green county saying that the
water in a certain line of tile was not

state, a member of the staff of the

or else the mistake would probably
not have been made. Instead of hay
ing a fall Of two inches or more in
100 feet toward the outlet, there was
rise of about five inches in that dis
lance. The water refused to run
over the ridge thereby made. The
only remedy was to cut down the
ridge
Some areas that are springy have
a fall so great that laying tile by
guess is reasonably safe. The trench
may be dug about three feet deep and

some Of it may be wasted by relying
solely upon the water in the trench
for a guide. In such places and in
almost all places where there is no
water in the trench, it is best to have
levels taken with a surveyors instru-
ment in accordance with which grade
laths may be set, as shown in the
drawing.

The venerable rector of st. Luke's

Of his own on most matters and is not
aYerse to expressing them. Recently,
unknown to him, the vestry decided
to have the next supply of coal for the
church put in a different cellar from
the one commonly used. When the
coal was delivered the rector, seeing
the drayman making what he thought
was a mistake in its disposal, inter
posed and IT no uncertain terms babe
the darky pace the coal in the cellar
always used for that purpose.
The senior warden several days
later was much annoyed TO discover
that his orders had been disregarded
and that the coal was in the same old
cellar. With wrath IN his eye he com
pl2ined to the coal dealer. The lat,
ts-' declared that he had carefully ex-
planned to the drayman where to put
the coal, SO to settle the matter the
darkey was called up.

Common 6-inch fencing boards are
used for Stats, which should be cut
about two and one-half feet long in
order to lap enough for mailing to the
top of the trough and the bottom of
the 6-inch board near the top of the
rack. The Stats should be set about
eight inches apart.
This gives each sheep fourteen
inches of feeding space, and thirty
sheep can feed at 16-foot trough

cramped quarters, in bad weather,

PIGS suffer. Easy to separate them
