The loss Of little pigs from cankeq
sore mouth is extensive, but might be
mostly prevented by proper care. The
cause of the disease is infection OF
slight scratches of the nose, mouth,
tongue and gums by the bacillus nee
rophorus. This germ is present nor
mally in the intestines of hogs and
may be found wherever their weddings
have dropped. The disease, therefore,
Is most likely to attack pigs kept in
unsanitary buildings and yards and
the contagion turks there from year
pigs cause decorations when the ami
mails play and fight and the cuts and
scratches becoming infected by the
germs derived from the filth Of the
floors and the soiled udder of the SOW,
develop the eating canker sores or
ulcers of the disease.
To prevent the disease, sows and
pigs should be provided with clean
pens and yards. Provide clean bed
ding, keeping 1t fresh and dry. Pens
should be cleaned out often and yards
kept free from accumulations of filth.
Disinfectants and land plaster (gyp-
sum- should be freely used In the pens
daily. At birth the sharp teeth Of
each pig should be carefully nipped
of with pincers, but more harm than
good may follow II the gums are cut
or bruised when operating. Treat the
disease by scraping each ulcer thor
oughly and then rubbing 1t lightly
with a lunar caustic pencil. After
ward, swab the affected parts twice
daily with a five per cent. solution of
permansanate Of potash.
II Jumps or boils form upon the
snout, cut deeply into each with a
sharp knife and at once saturate with
tincture Of iodine. Repeat the applica-
lion once daily, and each other day ap-
ply iodine tincture to the ulcers in
place of the permanganate solution. In
mild cases good results have followed

much uncertainty that alfalfa growers
would not seem justified in expanding
money for such cultures Experiments
indicate that much more certain re-
suits can be obtained by the use Of in
fected soil. After alfalfa has been
grown and fed upon the farm, and the
manure made from the alfalfa scat
tered over the farm. all the soil on tho
farm soon seems to become filled with
proper germs. Where exceedingly
heavy applications of barnyard manure
are placed upon small areas, the alfal-
ia does well, and in the second year
of its growth has the proper nodules
even in the absence of incubation
Farmers should make 1t a practice to
put in about a pint Of alfalfa seed per
acre WITH all grass and clover seeding,
