Victims of a Demon
In the silent midnight watches,
When the earth was wrapped IN

And the grim and awful darkness
Crept unbidden to my room.
On the solemn, deathly stiffness
OF the night there broke sound
Like ten million warning voices
Crying loudly from the ground.
We who. one and each and all,
Can cry out before high heaven
1--WE are slain by Alcohol
We would warn you. youths and
maidens,
From the path that we have trod-
From the path that leads to ruin,
And away from peace and God
We. the millions who have fallen,
Warn you from the rudy glow
OF the wine in silver goblets.
For destruction lies below
Wine and gin and rum and brandy
Whisky. cider, ale and beer,
These have slain Us and destroyed us
These the foes that brought US here
We beseech you. men and women
Fathers, mothers. husbands. wives
To arise and stay the demon
That is threatening dear ones lives
Do not preach of moderation
To your children, for, alas.
There is not foe more subtle
Than the fateful social glass.

COMMON DISEASE AMONG PIGS
Thumps Is Caused by Overlooking and
Lack of Exercise-Best Plan
Is to Prevent Disorder.
By w. II. UNDERWORLD

Thumps is common disease
among pigs and is caused by over
feeding and lack of exercise. The dis
ease is easily prevented by careful
feeding and seeing that the pigs get
plenty of exercise. Unless promptly
dealt with when pigs are first seized,
the disease is pretty certain to harm
them seriously. In quite a number of
instances they die. The most promi-
nent indication of thumps is a jerky
motion at the tanks in connection
with their breathing The nerves Of
the diaphragm are affected. hence the
trouble is sometimes called spasms of
the Diaphragm. In some instances
there is wheeling. The affected ami
mails soon lose thrift, and even though
they recover they are more or less
stunted for good long time, subse
quently Medicines cannot do much of
any good for pigs affected with
thumps. The best plan is to prevent
the disorder, and this can be done by
feeding no more than the pigs will
eat up clean, and see that they get
exercise. In winter pigs are inclined
to remain in bed. and in such cases it
is well to compel them to exercise by
chasing them about with a switch.

SANITARY BARNS FOR SHEEP
Need Not Be Built for Warmth but
Must Be Dry and Well Ventilated
Drafts Are Fatal.

Sheep barns are not as expensive
as those for cattle, horses. or hogs
for the simple reason that they need
not be built for warmth. Let them
be dry and well ventilated and thF
flock Will thrive in the coolest OF WIN
ter weather. That dampness is faVa
/ was amply demonstrated on faEm
near Madison, Wis. The owner tet!e
phoned to the university that his
| sheep were dying, and that an expef,t
should be sent out to determine thel
cause. The instructor no soone1
stepped into the barn and got hisI
shoes filled with water than he jumped
back and said. Il know alreacy. Wa-S

ton walls in streams, covering the
floor four inches deep. Pneumonia
then wiped out the fcck in a very
short time.
Sheep barns should not be built on
low or marshy tracts, but en- high
elevated areas so that the water may
drain away. They should be set in
such manner as to form a wind
break against the prevailing cold
winds from the northwest. yard
hou!d always be connected with this
windbreak, as sheep should be driven
out OF doors every time the weather
permits
The ventilation must lie perfect
The King system is probably the most
convenient yet devised, although
many of the homemade devices are
good. There is just this about the
King system; it takes some men q
little time before they are able to
grasp ats principles and get it to
working successfully. Windows are
needed for proper lighting, as sheep
will not thrive in the dark any more
than any other animal, in fact, will
rot thrive under lighting conditions
found tolerable by cattle. Again, win
dows are excellent as part OF the ven
tilating system if care is taken not to
open them in such a manner that a
draft Is formed on windy days. Drafts
are fatal to sheep.

Few farmers have a conception OF
what it costs to feed breeding ewes
during the winter months Some viii
guess 10 cents per day and some less,
but scarcely any know. AS an actual
fact, tie maximum cost per day is
about cents, while it should not so
above 2i2 cents. 1t is possible, Of
course. to increase the cost by feeding
expensive concentrates. but that is en-.

At Lambina Time.

When the lambs are due, and the
system of hand coupling enables the
shepherd to determine this, the ewes
should he taken to the lambing pens.
In the case Of twins or triplets the
first born is generally strongest and
wanders away among the other sheep
If not confined. On its return the eve
has forgotten its smell, and will not
cwu it. Besides, it l. more convenient
to care for them when the other ewes
cannot interfere. If the shepherd has
rest room with a cot adjoining the
lambing pen, hSG labor will be greatly
lessened.

LIVE STOCK
C18J NOTES

A good mans horse will not un.
derstand when he is sworn at.
Growing pigs should receive, where
it is possible some buttermilk.
Keep the young pigs out of the
drafts Give them a clean. dry place
to sleep.
In feeding farm stock variety is
necessary, for this will keep the sp-
petites keen.
Sheep need plenty of fresh air and
they certainly are more warmly clad
than we are
All animals need plenty OF exercise
in the winter to keep them in condi-
ti,n for the spring,
The horses should BE hitched up &C
casionally and put to some work, if
only for an hour or two.
Although hogs are proverbially dirty
animals, they enjoy clean drinking wa
ter as much as the other stock.
Middlings is very good feed for
swine, but it should not form the en-
tire grain portion Of their ration.
Lack of attention to the teeth of the
horses often cause large holes to APP
pear in the oat bin without visible re-
turn.
