For Women Who Care

Ofcourse you use an antiseptic in your

Instead of what you have been using
such as liquid or tablet antiseptics or

a concentrated antiseptic powder to be

SOME EXCELLENT SUGGESTIONS
REGARDING BREEDING OF HOGS
Important Factors In
Anim Do Not Thrive Well II MOT
Sufficient Quantity-Scrub Hog
Is Profitable

He never gets rich selling pork. and
in fact if he depended upon his hogs
TO make him money to buy better bred
hogs he would never own better ones.
The scrub hog usually keeps his
owner so poor that he is not able to
buy any better stock. In fact, this is
the excuse usually given for his exist
ence Poor farming and scrub hogs
are usually found associated together
They are near and dear CON panions.
Both make a rapid retreat before
progressive spirit and there is not
better evidence of the general progress
siveness of a people than the absence
OF the scrub hog from community.
Too much stress cannot be laid on
selecting breeding swine from sound,
healthy parents Animals that are not
strong in constitution cannot with
stand disease as well as those which
are strong in that respect. In case
hogs are troubled with disease II Is
almost impossible to give them medi-
cine or anything else that will prove
very helpful About all We can do is
to feed a ration that can be easily di-
gested and keep them in clean quar-
ters, thoroughly disinfect the pens anc
let the disease run its course.
Whole milk is one of the best feeds
for hogs that are suffering with dis
ease of any kind. 1t is an excellent
feed and has often been of great as
sistance in bringing hogs through
spells of sickness.
There is no disputing the fact that
corn is an ideal hog feed, bur every
practical feeder admits that better re-
suits can be brought about by feeding
a ration that is composed of less than
tvo-thirds corn. 1t is a mistake 70
think We cannot afford TO buy other
feeds TO mix with the corn.
Ordinarily it is a mistake not TO
feed the hogs the liquid before the
solid food.
See that the hogs have comfortable
quarters-now and the months to
come Failure here will impair the
usefulness of the herd.
Hogs will make from 10 to II
pounds Of meat, live weight, for each
bushel of corn eaten. but because of
this too many farmers feed too much
corn.
The cream separator has greatly re-
duced scours in pigs because the skim
milk can always be fed while sweet.
