PROPER CARE OF
ALL YOUNG PIGS
Successful Hog Raiser Is Pres
ent at narrowing Time to
Prevent Accidents.

Take care of the young pigs. Give
them close attention from the time
they are narrowed until they are large
enough to take care of themselves.
Personal attention to ones pigs, says
It. r. H. Wright, assistant in animal
husbandry at the Kansas Agricultural
college, is the most important essen
tial in successful hog raising.
The man who cares for and feeds the
SOW should be with the SOW at the
time of narrowing. After narrowing
about one-half of the litter, the SOW
will very often get up, turn over and
kill about half the pigs already far
rowed. So the only safe way is to be
in the shed and remove the young
pigs as fast as they are farrowed.
See that the pigs are dried properly
and put them in a covered box lined
with burlap. If the weather is cold,
nut a Jug of hot water or a few hot
bricks in the center of the box to keep
the pigs warm. The jug or bricks
should be wrapped to keep the young
pigs from being burned.
Reduce the feed of the SOW for
short time before narrowing and give
her thin slop for the first two or
three feeds after narrowing. Increase

1t is very necessary that we recog-
nize hog cholera and swine plague in
the very early stages in order to pre-
vent them from spreading. In some
outbreaks the symptoms are not
typical and We cannot diagnose the
disease by the symptoms alone. In
such cases We should destroy a sick
hog and make a careful post-mortem
eXarnjpation.
If the disease proves to be hog
cholera or swine plague, and 1t is
practical under the conditions, the
he"d should be divided into small
punches. The sick animals should be
separated from the we'll ones and all
possible precautions taken against
the spread Of the disease.
Do not move the hogs to different
parts of the farm, nor scatter the dis
ease over the farm. If the yards and
hog houses are in such a condition
that they cannot be properly cleaned
and disilfected we should move the
he7c 10 some convenient place and
build temporary quarters.
When the weather is warm the only
protection needed is shade. In cold
weather it is necessary to provide
quarters warm enough to prevent the
hogs from piling up and catching cold.
Portable hog houses are very useful
for this purpose.
The yards, feeding floors. troughs
and hog houses must be kept clean

Healthy Pigs Are Always Profitable.

All litter must be removed daily, and
the frequent spraying of the hogs,
feeding floors and sleeping quarters
with water solution 1.-TWO per cent or
more) of a tar disinfectant is a neces-
sary part of the care.
Both the sick and we'll hogs should
be FED a light diet of sloppy food
shorts, bran and the like. Water or
slop must not be left in the trough for
the hogs to wallow in. Copper sui
phate dissolved in the water and slop
In the proportion of four or five
ounces to the barrel may lessen the
chance of infection.
As soon as hog comes down with
the disease it should be removed to
the pens set off for the sick animals.
These pens should not communicate in
any way with the pens where the
well hogs are kept.
The dead hogs should be burned
This is not a difficult task If the body
is placed on top OF a pile Of wood that
will burn quickly and make hot fire.
If disposed of by burying it should be
well done and the body covered with
lime. However, this is not as salts
factory as burning.
The length of time that the hog
houses and their surroundings will
remain infected will depend on the
care taken in cleaning them. In filth

Wireless Man,

A novelty in the way of maps has
just been issued by the German impe-
rial postoffice. which has compiled a
chart showing the principal wireless
telegraph stations in the world. The
object is to advertise the facilities
now afforded in Germany for 'draht-
lose telegraphy. German stations
are, of course, given special promi-
nence on the map, and in this connec-
tion it is interesting to note that the
station at Neuen is claimed to be the
most powerful in existence. its range
being 2,1O0 miles. This is two hun
dred miles more than that of Eiffel
tower.

the germs may live for five months.
All litter about the yards must be
burned or removed to a place where
the hogs cannot come in contact with
1t.
Whitewash and disinfectants must
be used freely about the hog house
and yards. If the cleaning and disin-
fecting is carefully done we may be
able to stock up again within a few
weeks after the hogs have stopped
dying and suffer no further loss, but it
is usually best to wait two or three
months before we do this, or depend
on the hogs that have survived for a
fresh start.
Where it is practical we should
move the hogs to some other part Of
the farm and build new and better
yards.

eat it down.
Pigs will live and grow on rape
without a supplement of grain. but a
small addition of the latter is profit
able. Dry sows WILL however, do well
on the rape alone.
Never feed more than hogs will eat
up freely. Many farmers do not prac-
tice this. but keep a quantity of I'M
eaten food lying in the lot at all
times.
A few Goals from the wood fire of
the kitchen put into the houses now
and then, where the hogs can grind
them up into charcoal, help to keep
the hogs healthy.
Steaming food for hogs is an easy
matter. All that is required is large

one-inch pipe. The pipe should con-
meet the box at the bottom.

Southern farmers have learned that

leads to fatalities. Fed in small

the feed as the pigs get older and as
the SOW seems to seed it.
If the pigs should get too fat. dimin.
ish the amount of feed fed to both SOW
and young. Pigs that are too fat are
likely to have scours OR thumps. The
pigs usually will begin to eat when
about two weeks old Then they
should have some feed In addition to
their mothers milk They may be fed
with the SOW by giving her a little
more than she will eat or by provid,
ing a separate pen, which the pigs can
enter but the COW cannot. Keep the
pigs trough clean. as sour feed or
milk will cause trouble.
A good feed for both SOW and pigs
is mixture of corn, shorts, oil meal,
and tankage. The amount of each to
feed must be largely determined by
the feeder, because the proportion
that is best for one SOW and her lit
ter may not be best for another. The
run of a good pasture should be given
them. Alfalfa, clover and rape pas
lures make good feed for SOW and
pigs.
If pasture is not available, alfalfa
hay may be fed instead, as pigs rel
ish this almost as we'll in the summer
as in the winter, and it can be conve-
niently fed in racks. The yards and
pens should be so situated as to re-
ceive the maximum amount of sun
shine. as it is one of the best means of
keeping the pens in a sanitary condi-
ton.
