Are Your Hogs Dying?

1t is said that the mortality
among the hogs was not caused by
cholera, but from a white worm
that gets in the nose. A prominent
hog raiser who has been expert
menting with his hogs says that
turpentine and lard applied freely to
the inside of the hogs nose will
bring sure relief. Most of the farm
ers about here who have lost hogs
say that the disease does not re-
semble cholera, bur none knew
what caused the hogs to die, If
turpentine and lard will save them,
it is a cheap remedy, if it fails you
haven't lost anything and it is at
least worth a trial. Norborne Dem.

Get Business by Advertising in the Democrat
Drainage

issue of the Shelbina Democrat, in
regard to drainas e by tiling. The
position was taken that to tile the
fiat prairie lands in this section OF
Missouri would add greatly the pro-
ductiveness of the land, in fact
would be paying investment fol
our PRAIRIE farmers. 1t has been
a debated question as to whether
tiling would be profitable with our
soils. This writer is unable to come
to any intelligent conclusion in the
absence of any example, as little OF
no tlling has been done in this sec.
tion. We have observed good re.
suits by tiling in other states and a
few instances in level bottom lands
in Missouri, but in most of the
cases there was an absence of the
peculiar sub-soil which is almost
universally found in this part OF
the state. 1t is claimed by many
that owing to our clay sub-soil
which is very slow to absorb water,
that it would be almost impossible
for surface water to drain into the
tiling. We would be glad to see a
tract of lend tried out, but as tiline
is rather expensive, few farmers
care to undertake such an expen-
sive experiment. especially on large
enough scale to demonstrate its
ENTHUSIASTICALLY.
F. P. Knox, of Hunnewell. who
has had over 10 years experience in
tiling in other states is of the same
opinion of the Democrat man and
has drawn a plan which he says
should be followed in draining this
land. His plan is to take a 40 acre
square at a time and lay at least an
q inch, tine Ga f0 inch would be
better) through the center of the
square either north and south or
east and west according to local
conditions. Then run ID 8 or 4
inch tile drains into the main drain
from both sides, making % small
drains to the 40 acres. Of course
the smaller drains should be placed
at right angles to the larger one and
should be at equal distance apart
The tiles should be placed two to
three feet under ground and at
points of intake should be cover
ed up to the soil or top of the sub
soil with cinders or other porous
substance to insure the water en-
tering the drains. In the absence
of cinders, brush or straw might be
used. To break the land for culti-
walton, plow parallel to large drain
and across the small ones in exact
ly equal lands, alternating each
year, throwing the dead furrow
where the double furrow was at the
last breaking. This arrangement of
the drains seems good to us and we
believe no better plan for a drain
age system could be devised and
wishing to lay tiling and
wanting pointers on the subject,
would do we'll to communicate with
Mr.. Knox, who will gladly give the
benefit of his many years expert
ence. In speaking of soils. the
writer frequently hears mention of
'hard-pan" in connection with the
clay sub-soil undeling most of the
land in this part of Missouri, This
clay is absolutely not the so-called
hard-pan, but a substance, when ex-
posed a certain length of time to
the air becomes fine productive soil.
We will agree to eat at one sitting
all the real hard-pan found in 10
miles of Monroe City.

LOOKS FOR A BIG YEAR
Walter Bond Says Western Nortl, Da.
kota Never Had Brighter Pros
De('tS.

Western North Dakota never had
better prospects for a successful year
than 1t has at the present time, ac-
cording to Walter r.. Bond, a promin-
emit Minot banker who was here Sun
day.
Farmers Of the west have come to
realize that they must diversity their
interests" he says. and the result is
that they are now laying plans to en-
gage in various branches Of farming
activity. The single grain. farmer is
no longer in evidence. as he is beine
pushed aside by the more progressive
men who are raising stock, dabbling
in vegetables as we'll as raising small
grains.
around Minot a large number Of
farmers have made biz purchases OF
cattle. and the result will be thar
those farmers will have no more fear
of crop shortages: and, too, they are
not so liable to crop shortages under
their new method Of farming. 1t has
also been said that there will he forty
siles built in the district immediately
surrounding Minot during the coming
year. which Is an evidence of the
trend.
The past two years of light crops
has been a blessing in disguise. and
now that the farmers are taking to
new farming methods, there can be no
question al to the future prosperity
of the district"
