Hog Troubles.

A Wilson, residing 5 miles
southeast Of Meridian, brought in
the information that several have
lost hogs in his neighborhood dur.
ing the past month, through an
illness that resembles the hog
cholera. While there does not
seem to be serious epidemic, every
precaution is being taken to safe
guard the herds. Veterinarians
find traces of the cholera germ in
some cases bnt think the sickness
is local, as but few of the hogs in
the herd are affected. Nearer Boise
aud in the Franklin neighborhood
the disease is prevalent and is
causing considerable alarm, A.
round Meridian it is thought that
if care is used in having proper
feed that is clean, and if the pens
are disinfected, no trouble will be
experienced here. e. G. Pfahie,
A. P. Wolfe, John Elan, Ed Craw-
ford and other hog raisers in the
Meridian neighborhood are not
alarmed over the situation, and
have not yet inoculated their
swine, but are ready TO do SO if
there appears to be an epidemic.

Fine Stock Ranch.


One Of the best equipped stock
farms in the state is that owned
by E. G. Pfaffae and located a mile
sonth Of Meridian. Extensive i'm
movements have been made there
this spring. the principal one be,
ing silo Of $50 tons capacity.
The silo is Is feet in diameter
and 80 feet high above the foun-
dation, and is made of full length
slaves clear of knots. It is what
Is called the hinged door silo, the
hinges forming the ladder. The
cost was s400. There is also corn
cutter. costing 1915, which runs
on a truck, and cuts 10 tons of
ensilage an hour.
The silo has just been filled, a
good portion of the green corn
being purchased from Frank
Carver, who sold Is acres of the
60-acre field west of town, to Mr.
Pfaffle for $l5 an acre. The corn
was Just out of the milk and in the
dough and was fine for ensiIage.
They cut about l2 tons of the
green corn to the acre, and the
yellow dent variety was more sat
isfactory than the flint corn, as
the foliage was heavier.
The fodder placed in the SLID
cost altogether 1925, and it will be
worth several times that amount
for feed, and the feeding will start
early this winter, when other green
stuff is gone. Fifty head Of Hol-
stein and Durham COWS are now
being MIXED on the ranch, and
the product sent to Boise cream
cry, and this will be increased by
% before the winter is over. There
are also so head of cattle.
1t is planned to ration the cows
with 40 pounds of ensilage day,
and this with alfalfa will be the
best possible feed.
G. w. Faulker, an experienced
dairy man, has taken charge of
the herd and will move his family
out from Boise next month. He
has conducted the Green Meadow
ranch and dairy north of the river
and the stock from this place has
been moved to the Meridian ranch.
He has formed a co-partnership
with Mr.. Pfaffie in the business,
and expects to make this place
the biggest dairy ranch in Idaho.
There are also several hundred
hogs on the place, which are do
ing we'll aud it is expected that
with the clean food and quarters,
the pigs will not be affected by
any of the sickness found in some
of the herds. The latest sanitary
devices are being employed to that
end, both with the hogs and the
dairy stock.
