weight unknown to any other species
of domestic animals-the great meta
bolic changes which must necessarily
occur can be appreciated. Such rapid
development Is very likely to take
place at the expense of the disease
resisting powers OF the animal.
When tuberculosis results, the le-
sions usually observed are discrete
and OF chronic type. at times retro
gressive and at other times slowly pro-
gressiye, as manifested by calcaerous
deposits and fibrous encapsulation. 1t
is not infrequent, however, that
more extensive and spreading disease
is seen. and the LESSONS indicate Sc
we're infection and rapid generalization
of the bacilli, which In these animals
may quickly follow the initial attack.
And whether the disease assumes an
acute, sub-acute, or chronic type. tu-
berculous growths may soon be found
attacking lymph glands in widely sep
arated parts OF the body.
The intradermal method of testing
hogs for tuberculosis has given ex-
cellent res Its. Two drops of tuber-
culin prepared by evaporating away
| two thirds of the volume Of the tuber-
| culln previously prepared for the
| sub-cutaneous tuberculin testing OF
cattle, Is injected into the dermal
layer of the skin near the base OF
one Of the ears of the hog II the
animal Is not affected. no change In
/ the appearance of the ear will result
but a positive reaction will at the
end of as hours cause swelling near
the seat OF their injection. This
edematous enlargement may remain
visible for 10 to IL days after the
injection In case the animal Is affected

IMPROVING Pig CROP
BY JUDICIOUS FEEDS
More Attention Given by Farmers
to Rations and Care in Or
der to Secure Profit
nv r. q. wEArHERsToNEo

MANY farmers have started out THIS
year with the intention of doing better
by their crop Of pigs than they have
in the past BY doing better. ! mean
giving closer attention to the feed
problem, and the care problem. so
that the pigs when mature VIII nave
made q favorable growth at low
cost. and at the same time have de-
veioped strong frames. especially IN
the case of those pigs which are IN
tended to be kept for breeding pur-
poses.
Ii will be we'll for every man who
desires to bring his pigs through the
season In good form and condition
to calculate to supply some Of those
foods which are known to have
favorable influence on the develop
ment of the framework Of the pig.
II is needless to say that corn alone
viii not serve the purpose. While II
Is true that corn in conjunction with
good pasture makes diet for the
growing pigs which can hardly be
improved on, it also often happens that
the pasture contains little to attract
the pigs.
In that case they are sure to lie
around the yards and stuff themselves
with grain In preferences to seeking
the grass and exercise In conjunction
which is so essential to the health
and thrift of the animal
The best bone building foods are
those rich IN protein and mineral mat
ter. Skim milk perhaps stands at the
head OF the list. and 1t will pay te
lay in some tankage. shorts and pos
sibly some bone meal as we'll as some
pure mineral matter.
It cannot be expected, however, thai
the feeding OF foods bearing large
amounts OF protein and mineral mat
ter, such az have been mentioned, viii
change tho conformation OF any part
of the skeleton or, for example, make
pig stand straight.
This Improvement will have to b
made through selection. using no male
or female that Is faulty.
Ii might, too. be urged that II care
full selection were practiced 1t woult
be unnecessary to consider the diet
since strong boned breeding stool
would naturally impress these goot
points on their progeny.
On the contrary, 1t may be said tina
men have been trying for years II
breed poor hogs out of their herds
without giving attention to a BALANCED
ration problem, and they are practi
cally where they started
We generally find that when mel
feed little or no grain and do no
/ care to hasten the growth of thei
| pigs, the quality OF the bono Ii gen
orally very satisfactory.

Woman Freed OF Charge

By order of the district at

Welshon of Sparks, held pending
an Investigation into a charge that
she had thrown an infant child
from a Pullman car, causing its
death, was released and exhonor-
ated from the charge last Tues
day.
The Coroner's jury, which held
the inquest over the body of the
infant, made a thorough investi-
cation, which developed the fact
that it had been born dead.
Further investigation, it is said,
revealed the circumstances under
which it was lost from the car,
and negatived the idea of crimi-
nal intent.
