you think it does. There is too much
laying the blame on the creameryman
for not making anything from our

blame ourselves. and this is one OF the

tuberculosis in the human family
has been lessening materially during
the past Is years, but reports from
the various meat-packing centers of
the country fail to show the same
encouraging condition regarding tu-
berculosis in hogs during the same
space OF time. II must be admitted
that reports have come from several
localities during the past four years
showing a decrease in the number OF
tuberculosis swine sent to market. but
review of the collective records OF
the country at large shows an in
crease rather than a decrease in the
number Of swine affected by this dis
ease
The small amount OF money re
quired to begin hog raising and the
quick returns on the capital invested
make this industry an attractive one
to the small farmer. The hog will
make a pound OF gain on less feed
than most live stock. and will prob
ably utilize waste food products OF
every variety If properly prepared for
him As tuberculosis in this species
is chiefly acquired by indigestion, the
significance OF the latter statement Is
I obvious.
The vitality OF hogs or their powers
OF resistance to disease are necessari
~ lowered by the unnatural condi
tions which frequently obtain in hol
raising. namely, the forced feeding fol
fattening and the small feeding pens
In vogue in certain districts. Whei
the enormous growth of hog is con
sidered. when 1t is realized that II

development is frequently $50 TO 81

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-
| gressive, as manifested by calcaerous
deposits and fibrous encapsulation. II
is not infrequent. however, that a
more extensive and spreading disease
is seen. and the LESSONS indicate a Sc

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

MAKE PROFIT IN COCKERELs
Neglected by Many Poultry Ralseu
When They May Be Made Profit
able-Fatten When Young.
(By II. G. wEATHERsToNE1

Wy IL VI. w EAIHEkSTONE.l
Too many poultry raisers neglect
the cockerels. when in reality they
may be made very profitable. Many
persons do not know what to do with
them, and they grow up without much
care and are marketed when in poor
condition.
Cockerels ought to be separated
from the pullets as soon as the sex
can be easily distinguished. The
cockerels may be pretty closely con.
fined If they are to be fattened for
market, and as they are of no other
use they should not be allowed to
range. because this prevents the lay.
ing on of fat.
Feed them twice daily on a porridge
made OF corn meal, four parts; mid
dlings or cheap flour. two parts; beef
scraps. one part. chopped very fine.
This should be mixed with milk OF
water and should not be too sloppy,
but just so 1t will drop from. the end
OF wooden spoon.
II any Is left after feeding It should
be removed and the feed dish thor.
oughly cleaned and scalded
The birds should be kept as quiet
as possible and given plenty OF shade
and clean water.
When they are three months old
they will begin to grow very rapidly
under this method OF feeding and are
soon ready for the market Their
flesh is firm. but not hard and dry as
those OF the birds that are fed toe
much dry grain.
Many poultrymen use small coops
containing four to six birds each, but
cockerels can be confined just as wei
II confined in lots OF say so, with 6
floor space OF about 80 square feet
They should have a lot large enough
TO give them some exercise, but no
too much.
The time to fatten cockerels is whei
they are young, because 1t costs les
than when they are six or sever
months old. Fattened at three or fou
months their flesh is OF much superio
quality than when allowed to attain
their growth.

MAINE HEN HOUSE
is ADVANTAGEOUS
Feature of Structure Is Closet
Form for Protection in Cold
Weather.

In the curtain-front type Of poultry.
house used at the Maine experiment
station a feature OF the original plan
on which considerable stress was laid
was the canvas curtain front OF the
roosts This curtain. together with
the back wall of the house and the
dropping board under the roost.
formed a closet in which the birds
were shut up at night during cold
weather.
When the curtain-front house was
first devised, it was thought es-
/ sential to provide such a closet to
conserve the body heat of the birds
during the cold nights when the TEN.
perature might be we'll below zero.
Experience has shown. however. that
this was mistake. Actual test shows
that the roosting closet is of no ad-
vantage. even in such a severe climate
as that OF Orono.
On the contrary. the birds certain
" thrive better without the roost cur
tain than with II. 1t has been gen.
eral observation among users OF the
curtain-front type OF house that when
the roost curtains are used the birds
are particularly susceptible to colds
II is not hard to understand why this
should be so The air in the roosting
closet when II is opened in the morn
ing is plainly bad The fact that it is
warm in no way offsets physiological.
" the evils of its lack of oxygen and
excess Of carbon dioxide. ammoniacal
vapors. and other civilizations from
the bodies OF the birds.
For some time past it has been felt
, that the roosting closet was at least
unnecessary. If not in fact a positive
evil. Consequently the time Of begin
ming to close the roost curtain in the
fall has been each year longer de
layed Finally. in the fall OF 1910. II
was decided not TO use these curtains
nj all during the winter. Consequent
" they we're taken out Of the house
or spiked to the roof as the case
y might be. The winter of 1901 was
n severe one On several occasion:
e the temperature dropped TO 80 de
e grees below zero. During the winter
the mortality was exceptionally low
: and the egg production EXCEPTIONAL,
q high.
/, In view Of this experience the sta
k ton has decided to discontinue thu
use Of the roost curtain. IL would
seem to be generally undesirable. o.
