Canker or Sore Mouth
in Little Pigs.
BY M. n. REYNOLDS, veteri.
marian, University Farm, st.
Paul.

+ + i. i 4. + i. 4. 4. 4. +. i. i. j.
Canker or sore mouth is distinctly
contagious, spreading rapidly from
the mouth of the diseased pig to the
sow's udder and then in turn from
the SOW to healthy pigs It's due to
a certain germ which has the peculiar
power of producing death of the local
tissue affected. The same germ caus-
es various other similar diseases
such as calf diphtheria, foot rot of
sheep, and perhaps some hoof 'trou.
bles of cattle. In some cases it has
seemed possible that canker in little
pigs came from the diseased feet of
cattle, that is, from the foot trouble
known as foul in the foot" This
trouble among cattle may exist in a
very mild form so that the cattle are
not lame, although the feet are af-
fected.
For treatment dip the little pigs
nose into permanganate of potash so
luton, two ounces to a gallon of wa
ter, twice a day for from five to
seven days. Dip deeply enough to
cover all the sores., and. submerge
several times at each treatment. CIV.
ing plenty of chance, for breathing.
In bad cases it may be necessary to
scrape off the dead surface of the
ulcers and cautefiZe the sore places
with a stick Of nitrate of silver after
the first dipping in the perInanganate
solution. 80. SO @.:.,- = Lsa n%H o.
! All affected pigs should be put to-
gether on certain sows and kept en-
tirely away from healthy sows and
healthy pigs, All healthy pigs should.
If possible; be put on special sows
to which diseased pigs do not have
access: When healthy and diseased
pigs are allowed to nurse the same
SOW the disease spreads rapidly.
= In case SOW must nurse healthy
as wen as affected< pigs her entire
udder should be washed at least
three times day with some mild dis.
infectant that will not irritate the
skin too much, and then carefully
dried to avoid soreness per
manganate solution must be made up
fresh each time it lis used because it
loses strength rapidly.

KILL RUSSIAN THIsTLEs.

Prevent Russian thistles from ma
turing by cultivation or narrowing.
The plants are easily destroyed while
small, but if they mature, they should
be gathered and burned before they
break loose and blow away, scatter
ing seeds as they go. Good blowing
and careful seeding or planting so as
to occupy the land fully will prevent
the growth of. the Russian thistle in
most seasons. Plants growing on
waste places should be destroyed or
burned at maturity to prevent seeds
blowing over the fields.
Any one interested in identifying
and Graduating our common weeds
should write for copy of Minnesota

cleaning.
BY ALICE M'FEELY. Univer-
sity Farm, St. Paul.

At this time of year when the
housekeepers duties are multiplied
the work of keeping the house clean
should be made as easy as possible.
In the cities this work is being sim
plitied by calling in a man with an
electric machine who takes all the
dust off the walls, pictures, curtains,
rugs and furniture without removing
them from their places, and also with
out depositing it on other objects to
be removed again, as work proceeds.
On the Earm, where electricity is
usually not available, the housekeep-
er must necessarily do the work, but
she may we'll be provided with a
handpOwer vacuum cleaner consist
ing of two tin tubes fastened togeth-
er, in one of which is a cloth bag
and in the other a simple air pump.
This machine will quickly remove all
the dust from the carpets and rugs,
even drawing out the fine particles
that are SO ground into the fabric
that neither broom nor carpet sweep
err can remove them. A clean" rug
will yield a surprising amount of dust
to one of these vacuum cleaners.
With one Of these machines house
cleaning will no longer be a night
mare, and will soon be accomplished.
The dust collected is said to be an
excellent fertilizer.
There are a number of good ma
chimes on the market, and if the cost
seems prohibitive try the cooper
ative plan, if your neighbors are near
enough, each family having it one
day each week. Or buy one and rent
it to others by the day or hour.

Minnesota must maintain the fer
tlllty OF her soil. To accomplish this
ner farmer: should sell butter, grain,
bacon, milk, cheese, beef and eggs,
and feed ali Of the hay, corn, oats and
barley, using the straw for feed and
bedding and for composing with ma
nure. Enough bran, shorts, oil cake,
etc, should be purchased to supply
the phosphate sold in the above
named products. All of the manure
produced should be returned to the
land. If this system is followed the
soil will grow richer each year.
The dairy COW stands supreme in
her ability to accomplish this at the
least cost and the highest profit
The modern methods Of breeding
and selection for efficiency if persist
emily followed will some day make
Minnesota famous not only for the
best butter, but also for the best bred
animals that produce the butter fat.
We should develop centers and dis
breeds best adapted to the local con-
ditions, as has been done in many Eu-
ropean sections. We must redouble
our efforts to eliminate and keep out
tuberculosis and other diseases.
We must secure more general use
of sanitary barns and sanitary meth
DDS. We must see that the product is
more carefully and economically han
died by distributing agencies. We
must still further improve our cream
cries, especially along sanitary lines.
Our buttermakers must be trained
to greater efficiency. The rank and
file must catch up with our prize win
ners.
The Experiment Station and the
College will do everything in their
power to help. Education, organiza-
ton, efficiency and a square deal for
all should be our watchwords.

An Important Swine Point.

A. point which the less thoughtful
pig breeder frequently overlooks in
the selection of the young SOW pig for
breeding purposes is that it should be
descended from a SOW or frequently
from a line of sows which have been
in the habit of continuing to give
good supply of milk for a term of
eight weeks at least after farrowing.

GIVE THE COW A CHANCE

1t is good news which from those who individually
and through the chamber of commerce. have been seeking
to quicken local interest in dairy matters. We told
that the visible and possible supply Of milk in the issoua
territory has increased wonderfully during the past few
weeks and that thele many farmers who for the first
time are seriously turning their attention to the as
means of transforming the hay crop into profit
While too early to attempt to give any figures the
men who have been making the investigation now thor
ously satisfied that immediate supply Of milk can be
secured which will insure the successful operation OF a
creamery plant in this city These men conservative

people have been scientific and systematic in their dairy
work. they have made the COW an asset which overshadows
in importance any other which they possess.

importing butter this region should be shipping tons OF it
