CONVENIENT HOG COTS
Animal Must Have Ample Protec-
ton From Rain and Cold.
Corn nd Other Feeds Make Them
Grow, But Dampness Takes Off
Weight Almost as Fast as Put
Clubhouse Simple Affair.

It Is great mistake and poor bust
ness management to raise hogs, feed
them high-priced corn and then al
low them to be in the rain and cold.
Some farmers think that because a
hog is hog it can get along with
any kind Of shelter or with no shell
ter at all. The corn and other feeds
you give may make them grow, but
dampness will take off weight almost
as fast as it is put on. With only a
small amount of money spent for
lumber and roofing for building COM
Portable houses, sows. pigs and ma
ture hogs will bring in larger profits
in the hog business. Hogs Of all
kinds like cool shade, and cool places
for wallowing and sleeping during the
warmer months.
The efficient hog house is a simple
affair, and can be built by anyone
with only small cash outlay. 1t
need not be more than four feet high
in the rear and slightly more in the
front to allow slope for the roof. The
sides should be short. The lumber
for them will not cost much, but it
should be of good material to keep out
rains and winds. Probably the best
roof for hog houses is that Of heavy
felt. This is to be laid on tight fitting
or matched boards Galvanized iron
also makes good roof, and is to be
commended for the movable houses.
When iron of any kind is used for the
roof it should be laid on solid boards,
as iron is very hot in summer when
the sun shines, and is cold in winter.
Since a hog house need not be too
large the farmer who keeps several
sows and is growing large number
of pigs each year should have half
dozen or more Of these houses on the
farm and in convenient places. Some
farmers have all their hog houses
near the barn and other buildings,
but do not think this is good prac-
tice. Hogs Of different ages and sizes
will not do we'll in one herd, says a
writer in an exchange. They should
be separated into small herds, accord
ing to their ages and conditions. Sows
and growing pigs should not be al
lowed to be on the same lot with fat
tening hogs. The excessive corn diet
is not good for their growth and pro-
duction, and with large fattening hogs
the smaller ones will be crowded and
injured. Too many hogs in one pen
are more apt to contract disease than
when they are put into several lois
and Sma I1or lunches
When the farm is divided into small
fields and each field is fenced hog
tight it will pay to have at least one
hog house in each field, so that it can
be pastured with hogs at some time
each year, thus saving and turning to
good account all the waste forage.

INCREASES EGG YIELD
Salt in Proper Quantities of Ma
teriaI Benefit to Hens.
Food Prepared for Human Taste With
Mineral Is Not Injurious or Repet
lent to Poultry-ResuIt New
York Station.

It is a tradition that salt is craved
by, and is beneficial, to all domestic
and many wild animals, with the ex-
ception of poultry, and that to THESE 1t
is poison. That in large Quantities
this is true is an undoubted fact, as
has often been tested.
Some years ago the writer was quite
Mortified upon going to the barnyard
one afternoon to find dozen or
more fine hens lying about dead. In
looking for the cause Of this sudden
mortality one of the cows messes
was found to be uneaten, and close
examination showed that the attend
ant, either through ignorance or care
lessness, had dumped upon it pint or
salt-too much to be relished even
by bossy-and after the cattle had
been turned into the pasture, the
chickens, that had free range, dfscov-
cred the bucket of bran, and ate from
1t freely and so rapid was the action
Of the salt that some hens died but
a few feet away. An examination OF
the crops confirmed the supposition
that it was the heavily sailed bran
that had proved fatal, says writer in
the Farm Progress.
That food sailed to the human taste
Is not, however, injurious or repel,
lent to poultry of nearly all kinds
is proved by the avidity with which
the latter eat and thrive upon the
table scraps. which include, besides
oil M
tables and bits of pastry. Close OBJ
servers contend that chickens, espe-
cially, seem to need small quantities
OF salt In their food, and when given
a chance, will prefer this to unsea-
soned grain.
What the exact effects of the slight
ly sailed ration might be on the gen
eral health and productiveness Of hens
was made the subject Of experiment
two OF three years ago at the New
York experiment station.
The feeding trial was made upon a
dozen mature hens, especially to as
certain the approximate limit Of the
feeding. For one lot OF hens salt was
mixed in the food in increasing guam.
titles, day after day, until it was fed
at somewhat more than six-hundredths
OF an ounce per fowl. or about one
half pint per day for 100 hens. More
than this produced diarrhoea in some
which disappeared when the excess OF
salt was withdrawn
The test was made at the unpro-
ductive time of the year, but an un.
that double the number of eggs were
laid by the hens fed on rather over
sailed food than by any other dozen
fowls fed on unseasoned grain and
other rations.

DIP FOR SCABlES IN CATTLE

The secretary Of agriculture has
amended Order 143, effective August

in cattle by permitting the use Of the
tobacco dip prepared from tobacco
and suitable tobacco products, pro-
vided it contains not less than seven
hundredths Of one per cent Of nico-
tine. Heretofore, the requirements
have been that the tobacco dip should
contain not less than five hundredths
of one per cent of nicotine and two
per cent flowers of sulphur. The to-
bacco dip of the new strength need
not contain the sulphur. The regula-
ton remains unchanged regarding the
lime and sulphur dip, which may be
used as directed in the order.

gathered about to hear them every

town encourage their bands by ap-

here. A town that has a good band
makes an impression and the peo-
