HOW To HANDLE
SC0URS IN PICS
Proper Feeding ard Dry Pens
Are Essential Items, Asserts
Walter T. Kenner.

To The Georgian: l have received a
great many inquiries in regard to cause,
symptoms and treatment of scours in pigs
and for the benefit of all concerned I will
answer through The Georgian and give
the best l know in regard to this generally
fatal trouble with the young occurs or
diarrhoea. is a 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 1t 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, 1t is nearly always due to fever
sh condition in the SOW, affecting the
pig through the milk. 1t may also be-
produced by a chilly, damp bed, by get
ting out into the grass when too young
by fermented food. as slops 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 swil-fed pigs without
this trouble. We also have outbreaks that
would seem to Indicate that the trouble
might be infectious.
Symptoms
The symptoms OF the trouble are loose
excavations. which become more and more
watery. In little pigs these are of q de-
cidedly 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
sh 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 disease largely due to
bad diets and hygiene, must have as a
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 narrowing the
feed should be light. If scours are due 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.

HEN LAYS 257 EGGS IN
YEAR; NEW RECORD

While it is not possible to state the
exact average production of eggs per
men in one year it is conservatively
estimated in the United States to be
about 20, BY improved methods Of
breeding, feeding and selection birds
have been found with actual individual
records Of 200 to 257 eggs a year
Only one hen has been found at Cor

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 if you feed the
right kind at the right time and in TIE
right way IT is easy to feed too mucn

that they can help themselves without

food if properly fed.

that the hens viii have to work hard and

very fattenine and need to be fed spar

make the mistake OF starving the hens.

These three small houses are all very
inexpensive and each is adapted to it's

be impossible If all the fowls were kept
together. If these houses were combined
into one building this plan would neces-
state the confinement of the fowls in
yards to protect the young chicks. IT has
proved no more burdensome to care for
the fowls in this way than to care for

races of the country can be held
without running over any New Jcr-
Sey or Connecticut farmers. They
want II big park of ten thousand
acres, over which they can have
absolute control, and they want it
where there is plenty Of sunshine in
the fall and winter. In this con-
nection it will be observed that a
bill has been introduced in congress
providing for the government to
build "a great paved highway across
the country from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. If III Paso could So
cure the big amusement park it
would get that highway and this
city would become the mecca of
auto tourists every winter. The
big park would have shade trees
and handsome club houses and
would be made a thing of beauty.
1t is a big thing and ! hope our
people will yet he able to make a
satisfactory deal with all of the
owners of the desired land on the

Thinks Roosevelt Contests Have No
Merit In Them.

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
In the present contest for the Repub

welt. l formed my impressions as to
the merits OF the controversy by read
ing the articles that appeared in the
columns OF The Times. felt that
there was merit in the contests that
had been filed by Colonel Roosevelt.
and that a deliberate attempt was be-
ing made by the friends of President
Taft to rob Mr.. Roosevelt of what was
Justly due him. j regret that / am now
forced to the conclusion that the contests
inaugurated in behalf OF Mr.. Roosevelt
have absolutely no merit in them. When
Mr.. Roosevelt smilingly told the re-
had he ever expected more than two
delegates from Alabama. and exhibited
a printed slip, which he took from his
pocket. to prove his statement, l began
to lose faith in the sincerity of these
contests. When the committee, by
unanimous vote, seated the delegates-at-
large from Indiana, after Mr.. Roose-
welt, in his Chicago speech, denounced
them as robbers and thieves, ] was even
more strongly convinced that the con-
tests that have been instituted by Mr..
Roosevelt are fakes, pure and simple.
IT seems to me, as an humble citizen,
that Mr.. Roosevelt is making a play
thing of the Presidency. When a man
unblushingly admits that the contests
inaugurated by him are not based on
merit, but for the sole purpose of con-
fusing and beclouding the public mind.

To the Editor of THE TINES:
The writer of the editorial in The

the Returns must have been afflicted
with mental strablsmus. In attempting
to make It appear that fraud and cor
ruption were responsible for the cleo
etion of Taft delegates in Indiana the
writer Of the editorial Is simply making
himself ridiculous. If his contention Is
true, then why did every Roosevelt
man on the national committee vote to
seat the delegates-at-large headed by
ex-Vice President Fairbanks? Surely
such men as Borah, Kellogg, and Lyons
would not countenace a palpable fraud
against Colonel Roosevelt.

Points Out Alleged Abuses In the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
I can think Of no better way by which
to let the good people know the con-
ditions under which the press girls, who
number more than eight hundred, work
at the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing than through the columns of your
valuable paper.
They stand continually for eight hours,
amid oil, ink, cuspadores, and dirty
men, breathing the foul atmosphere
from the aforementioned things, for
the paltry sum Of $50 a day. Think of
It! I am surprised that an establish
ment owned and run by the Government
should accord their employees such treat
ment. It's an outrage, and a disgrace
to civilized people. When they take the
civil service examination It says after
three years satisfactory service land
those who have been retained must have
given satisfaction, or they would have
been asked to resign as a printers as
sistant, you would be promoted. There
are girls in this Bureau Of Engraving
and Printing who have been working on
the press for more than five years, and
no chance Of promotion. Then again
some girls work on the press only a
short time, and are promoted. Where
Is the justice in this. and where does
the merit system come in? II there
are no promotions In work at the ex-
piration of three years there should be
a promotion in salary. Can't somebody
do or say something in defense of these
poor unfortunates? -
