HOW To HANDLE
SCOURS IN PICS
Proper Feeding and Dry Pens
Are Essential Items, Asserts
Walter T. Kenner.

To The Georgian have received &
great many inquiries in regard to cause,
symptoms and treatment of scours in pigs
and for the benefit Of all concerned will
answer through The Georgian and give
the best I know in regard to this generally
fatal trouble with the young Scours or
diarrhoea. is q profuse and frequent dis
charge of faces, and they are usually
watery in consistency. While the pig is
young and the discharge is whitish gray
or gray colored, the trouble is usually
designated as scours, and when the pig
becomes older it is then generally spoken
of as diarrhoea.
This condition is present as a symptom
in many other diseases. When the dis
ease occurs within the first few days after
birth. It Is nearly always due to a fever
sh condition in the sow, affecting the
pig through the milk. 1t may also be
produced by chilly, damp bed, by get
ting out into the grass when too young
by fermented food, Stops and mouldy
corn, affecting the mothers milk, When
the pigs become old enough TO eat and
drink. 1t Is nearly always due to the feed,
as old table slops and sour milk. green
corn in the fall Of the year. 1t is the ex-
ception to raise swill-fed pigs without
this trouble We also have outbreaks that
WOutd seem TO INDICATE tudt lnS LTouDlo
might be infectious.
Symptoms.
The symptoms of the trouble are loose
excavations. which become more and more
wstery. In little pigs these are of q de-
cdedly gray color and adhere to the tail
and TO different parts of the body The
appetite may be good at the beginning,
but as the pig becomes decidedly fever
ish the appetite is lost. The back be-
comes arched, the TANKS hollow. and the
hair rough, and there is indisposition to
move about
Treatment.
Scours being a disease largely due to
bad diets and hygiene, must have as q
foundation for treatment the correction
of these errors The sow should be in
the narrowing pen for a week prior to
narrowing: she should be fed lightly on
easily digested food Very little corn
should be given. No purgatives should
be given Charcoal, salt and wood ashes
should be accessible. These measures will
tend to prevent the feverish condition that
brings on scours that is so fatal at birth.
For a few days after farrowing the
feed should be light, If scours are d4e to
cold and wet quarters, these must be cor
rected. When the pigs become old enough
to eat and drink they should be given
sweet food. There is no doubt in my
mind that but the value of sour swil is
overestimated, and If IT is fed scours or
diarrhoea may be expected Start pigs
off on green corn, gradually using with it
some sweet and wholesome dry feed

CORNELL UNIVERSITY
HEN LAYS 257 EGGS IN
YEAR; NEW RECORD

While it is not possible to state the
exact average production of eggs per
nen in one year, it is conservatively
estimated in the United States to be
about 10. BY improved methods Of
breeding. feeding and selection birds
have been found with actual individual
records of 200 to PSI eggs a year
Only one hen has been found at Cor
nell that laid as high as 257 eggs in a
year, but this one example of the de-
gree of perfection to which the breed +
er's art mas attained is valuable for
the place it sets for others to follow
and surpass. The net profit obtained
from the sale of these 257 eggs amount

Feed: Too Much vs.. Too Llttle.

Too much feed is often misunderstood
by poultry raisers and by trying to avoid
too much feed they do not feed enough.
As matter of fact, you can not feed
laying hens too much II you feed the
right kind at the right time and in the
right way. II is easy TO feed too much
corn, especially if thrown to the hens so
that they can help themselves without
work Yet corn is the very best winter
food II properly fed
1t should be covered deep in litter, so
that the hens will have to work hard and
long for it Many other foods are also
very fattening and need TO be fed spar
ingly, hut in avoiding one danger do not
make the mistake Of starving the hens
They need 10 60 to roost az night with a
fun crop Of miscellaneous kinds for which
they have scratched all day long An
other danger N he avoided Is not to feed
hens that are net laying as heavily as
YOU do those that lay

PROVIDE ROOMY SLEEPING
QUARTERS FOR CHICKENS

Chickens should not be crowded in their
sleeping quarters Above all things, ex-
anime them once or twice a week and
see that the chickens themselves are not
only free from insects hut that their
sleeping quarters are. Keep their sleep
ing quarters thoroughly whtewashed with
plenty Of crude carbolic acid in the white
wash, also keep them dry and free from
any draught, but let them have plenty
of air

GRADE EGGS AT FARM AND
SELL THEM WHILE FRESH

Eggs on the farm should be graded
They should be marked while fresh,
should be clean and wholesome. 1t Is es-
timated that about 20 per cent Of the
eggs from the farm are unfit for food.
The cold storage man does not lose this.
the egg dealer does not lose this, for both
buy at a price sufficiently low to pro-
tect them from loss The farmer and
producers, then, are the ones who suffer
from careless methods and practices in
marketing farm eggs.

IN MEMORIAM

To the memory of George Albert
Mills, of Almonesson, who fell asleep
in Jesus, Sunday, Jan. 7th, 1912. Let
me die the death of the righteous; and
may my last end be like his.
The Master walked 'mong the flowers one
day
Such beautiful flowers, His own were
they,
Such wealth of wondrous bloom;
Some standing in stately grandeur there,
Others more lowly; while all the air
Held the breath of their sweet perfume.
How He loved each fragrant flower and
bud,
They had cost so dear, His own hearts
blood;
His delight was with them to dwell
All more than miser his boarded gold.
With love unmeasured, unfathomed, un-
told,
Its depths, we can never here tell.
Oh! the pierced hands held rich. rare
bloom
As He walked 'mong the flowers that
day;
Il viii carry My precious one out of the
gloom
And the frosts of the world away,
One by one, I will carry them home
From the whitening blight of sin,
To fairer land to My Fathers home,
Where death never enters in.''
And as down the fragrant path He went,
Each snowy lily in homage bent,
Her bells Ginning softly, and sweet;
