With many flockmasters 1t is con-
sidered desirable to have the ewes

have the lambs ready for the early

1t has been found that by flushing
the ewes they may be made to breed
earlier than they would otherwise, and
most Of them will lamb In a compar-
atively short period.

using disinfectants and the general
care
Many farmers realize that when
hogs are taken sick the case demands
immediate attention II they expect to
save any OF their hogs. Some farm.
ers are very careless and wait till
the disease Is well started, and even
then do not pretend to follow direc.
lions. 1t is surprising that these
careless farmers save any of their
hogs after disease starts.
All these facts simply go to prove
that the sensible way is to handle
your hogs In such way as to pre-.
vent disease. Build up and improve
the constitutional strength. This is
what will save you great loss from
hog cholera. When your hogs are
sick with the worst kind Of hog chol-
era we do not believe anything will
help them, and the safer way in such
cases is to take an ak and kill them
at once, and then burn the remains.
This is for the malignant form of hog
cholera. In majority OF cases they
do not have this very fatal form. and
they can be cured with the proper
treatment.

Whether this is the reason or not

reason applies, he gets the results

importance.
Oftentimes the means nearest at
hand are the best and this is true in
our particular case. The meadow Is
always at hand and could easily be
used for fall feed for the ewes. The

CBy ELMER HENDERSON,


A flock of ewes just weaving lambs
and in thin flesh at the time of con-
ception are apt to be very poor sub
jects for maternity in the spring. No
matter how we'll the eve may be fed
just previous to the time of lambing
she will not be in her best condition
to nourish her offspring unless she is
in fair condition at the time of mat
ing.
The reason is at once apparent. If
eve is thin when she is bred the
burden Of growing the young Is too
much of strain upon her to allow Of
her gaining much flesh. This brings
us to what is known as flushing"
among old shepherds.
Flushing may be defined as putting
the eve upon highly succulent and
nutritious feeds just previous TO mat
ing.
have said before that 1t was neces-
sary to have the eve in good flesh at
the mating season. This is just the
object Of flushing.
1t has been found by all practical
shepherds that pint of grain In
September is worth quart at lamb
ing time The reason is that the eve
fed grain in the fall has very little
burden to bear in the shape Of the
growing young, while in the case of
the eve heavy with lamb all the food
eaten goes mostly to nourish the
foetus. It will be inferred that II
grain will make the difference In the

PREVENTING DISEASE
is MOST DESIRED
Many Farmers Realize That
When Hogs Are Taken Sick
the Case Demands Quick
Action.

Il is Of the greatest Importance in
the care of the swine that the owner
should always have in view the pre-
vention of disease rather than the
cure. Hogs are subject to but few
diseases, and these are malignant,
epidemic or contagious Of the most
serious type. 1t is very difficult to
give medicine to a sick hog, and this.
combined with the rapid course of the
disease which affects them, makes the
treatment of disease very unsatisfac-
tory in severe cases of hog cholera.
pneumonia, etc.
The average stockman calls every
disease hog cholera which affects his
hogs. A well-known professor Of Cor
nell gives fifteen different diseases
that are generally called hog cholera.
Many OF these diseases are very seri-
GUS, and run their course 80 rapidly
that sometimes a few days neglect
causes the loss of nearly an entire
herd of hogs. This explains why one
farmer will take a remedy and cure
his hogs, when perhaps his nearby
neighbor will take 1t and not obtain
such good results. In nine cases out
OF ten 1t Will depend on whether the
farmer Is careful and systematic in
following the directions not alone in
giving the treatment but also In

However, as people become better ed

a bathroom is to have 1t over or near

This is one of the best low-cost

large rooms, and high ceilings of

little, narrow, contracted, close-com-

The size on the ground is 26% feet

You would hunt long time before
finding another such dining room in

1917 feet, but is larger than the size
indicates, because of the large china
closet and the extra large pantry,
where a great many things that are
commonly kept in the dining room
will find more convenient places. In
fact, 1t is not absolutely necessary to
have sideboard in this dining room.
OF course, sideboard looks we'll in
any dining room; and, If you want it,
there is room between the two doors
or on the side against the kitchen.
The use of dining room in house
like this depends very much on how
the living room is furnished. Living
rooms are used for general purposes
more than ever before; so much so
that the world "parlor" has almost
gone out of use in some sections of
