FOUNDATION OF
SUCCESS IN HOGS
Diseases Caused by Filthy Pens
Quite Often Mistaken for
Cholera.

CBy DIR. r. s.. SCHOENLEBER State
Veterinarian OF Kansasl
Cholera, parasites and pneumonia
are some of the worst troubles hog
breeders have to fight this time OF
year. The parasites, or worms as
they are called. commonly, are always
with the hogs. more or less. II will
be possible to eradicate cholera from
the swine industry before the breed
ers will be able to rid their stock Of
parasites. Pneumonia may be pre-
vented by keeping the hogs from TAX
ing cold.
Hogs are kept for years on the
same generation after generation
until the soil becomes saturated
with the different parasites and their
eggs With such surroundings a hog
is certain TO be affected. The ami
mails look scrawny. and cholera 10
blamed for their condition.
Sanitation is the foundation OF sue
cessful hog rearing A hog lot should
be plowed frequently, and thoroughly
disinfected Every two or three
years the lot should be changed to a
new location. A hog isn't dirty in its
habits. II given half chance II will
keep clean.

CANADA WINS AGAIN
THE COLORADO SILVER TROPHY
Foa OATS WON A SECOND
TIME BY CANADA

The most recent achievement OF

ond time the magnificent 81 500 silver
trophy awarded by the State of Colo
RADIO for the best peck of cats. At
Columbus. Ohio. in 1911, ]. C. Hill &
Sons of LlOydminster, Saskatchewan.
placed peck of oats grown on their
farm in competition. With Cats FROM
every part of the world. The judges
had no difficulty in deciding. and the
award was given TO the Saskatchewan
grown oats. In 1912, the Corn Expo
sition had no exhibition. and our Ca
madam friends, although ready for a
second contest had no opportunity.
In 1913. the exhibition OF the Society
was held at Columbus. S. c., and it is
said of it that il was one OF the best
yet held. At this exhibition, which
comprised corn and all the smaller
grains, Hill & Sons OF Lloydminster
had on exhibition for the contest an
other peck of oats grown on their
Saskatchewan farm, in 1912. There
was no trouble for the judges, no time
necessarily lest in reaching decision,
Hill & Sors won, and for the second
time their marie will appear on the
crest of the cup. The third space will
doubtless be occupied by their name,
and then this splendid trophy will be
theirs.
During the past few years Western
Canada grains-wheat, oats, barley and
fiax-have been in competition with
grains from all other countries, aad in
every case their superiority has been
shown. II is not only in oats. but it
is in wheat, in barley and in fax, that
Canada more than holds it's own. when
placed side by side with grains from
other parts.
Mixed farming is taking a strong
hold not only in those parts of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
which up to the present have been as-
voted solely to grain growing, but also
in the districts contiguous. where the
conditions of climate, shelter, water.
grass and hay make farming OF this
kind, easy to prosecute and large in
profits. II was in the Province of
Manitoba that the steer was raised
that carried Off the Championship of
the steer class, at Chicago last De-
cember. This beast had been fattened
on the grass and hay OF the Province
and the only finishing grain il had was
barley; not an ounce of corn.
Western Canada presents innumer-
able opportunities for the big farmer
who wants TO cultivate his thousands
of acres, the medium man satisfied
with few hundred acres, the man
who is content to farm his free home
stead Of one hundred and sixty acres;
it has opportunities for the investor.
the capitalist, the business man, the
manufacturer and the laborer.
Agents OF the Canadian Government
located at different points in the Unit
ed States win be pleased on applica-
ton, to give any desired information,

way at a price absurdly low when its
food value is considered.
nave in mind now a woman in my
city who owns a restaurant. not a very
large one. either. She also has
chicken farm about twelve miles Fl 10
the city, and she sends out 10 the
farm once a week from six TO ten pota-
to sacks OF waste bread for her chick
ens-bread which but for utilizing il
thus would be thrown away. The re-
suit is that she makes a big profit on
the chickens and eggs she sells.
Another kind of chicken feed which
the near-city poultryman can get in
large quantities is fresh buttermilk in
cities where there are creameries or
butter companies.
Such companies sell a great deal OF
buttermilk, but nothing like as much
as they could sell. and a great deal of
it is turned into the sewer: so. IL a
poultryman with two or three hundred
chickens wished to buy it in, say FIVE
gallon lots, he would be able TO get it
very cheaply-p perhaps for five cents
q gallon, for the butter maker would
surely prefer selling ii, even at this
price, to throwing il away.
This buttermilk is especially good
for chickens cooped up to fatten for
market. for the acid in the milk is
good for their digestion in the winter
when they cannot get green stuff, and
also while they are cooped up where
they cannot take exercise.
Very few things are az fattening as
slightly sour milk curds. sweetened.
heated to blood heat and with some
refuse grease or meat drippings from
the kitchen added. Such fat making
food is better for fattening chickens.
however. than for hens with broods.
Put two or three gallons of this milk
in large pot, sweeten it with cheap
brown sugar and add the meat drip
pings. stir while it is heating, and
pour into small -four sack or other
thin sack, and hang up in warm
place to drip. Put pan under II to
catch the whey, which lie good for ma
king bran or corn meal mashes.
When the curds are reasonably dry,
dip them out as needed. and put them
in little troughs alongside the coops,
where the chickens can reach the
food through the wires without getting
into 1t with their feet. Put in only
what they win eat up clean each time.
Another advantage the small poui-
tryman has near the city is that he
is accessible to diaries where he can
get skim milk from separators, which
is also exceedingly good for fattening
chickens. in making up mashes of diff
ferent kinds.

WAY OF SHIPPING
BREEDING FOWLS
Seller Should Find Cheapest
Route, Making Least Ex-
pense for Buyer.

The breeder who buys breeding
stock should state what express com
pany he wishes the birds shipped by;
if he doesn't so state. the seller should
find out the cheapest route for the
shipment If the consignment is
shipped over two lines. the charges
are higher than by a direct route; it
is to the advantage of the seller to
make as little expense for the buyer
as possible. This means not only ship
ping by the cheapest route. but aloo
Grating in the lightest crate consis
tent with safety. Light wooden coops
with solid sides. and opening at the
top, can be bought for thirty cents
each up. Cracker boxes can be made
into light, convenient coops for ship
ment. But whatever box is used 1t
should be clean and light.
Valuable birds should be shipped
singly II the distance is long. fasten
a drinking cup in the corner of the
coop; and tie sack of feed to the
coop We usually put in large pota-
TO or apple which serves the purpose
of both food and drink for short ship
ments. Mark the address Of the con-
signee plainly. and plan the shipment
so birds will not lay over Sunday in
the express Office, or have long waits
on station platforms TO make connec-
lions. The condition the birds are re-
eeived in largely determines whether
or not the customer is satisfied.

While the farmer-poultrymsn at =
distance from the city has some ad-
vantages over the near-city poultry
man. the latter is not as badly handi-
capped on his home acre as you might
think
The farmer can, OF course. raise
most of his feed. and his chickens have
plenty of room to rustic their food in
the fields, orchards, pasture and barn
yard, but on the other hand, the su-
burban poultryman is much closer to
market and can take advantage OF
rash orders from merchants either for
eggs or dressed poultry. and he is thus
in position to get top market prices
for the product of his fiocks
And the neaF-city poultryman can
get cheap feed if he knows how, for
there is so much waste in cities in the
form of garbage, stale bread, butter
milk and skim milk In a city ce-tain-
ing a number of bakeries poultryman
can get large quantities Of stale bread
merely for hauling il away; or, il he
pays for it, it will be only nominal
sum.
All first-class bakeries sell only
fresh bread. so IL they bake more
than they can sell each day they get
rid of II the following day in what
ever way they can.
Each bakery has a box located in
front OF grocery stores which sell it's
bread, and before closing their doors
each evening these grocers put all the
bread on hand which they failed to
sell into these boxes, and next morn
ing, before the stores are opened, the
bakers carts come around and the
drivers oper the boxes and take out
the yesterdays bread, if any, and leave
fresh bread.
Then, after making the rounds Of all
the groceries, they take the old bread
back to the bakers, and it is gotten
rid of in different ways. Some bakers
give away quantities OF bread to the
Salvation Army and other poor, chart
table or religious organizations and in
situations.
In baking some kinds of bread. rolls
or pastry, portion of this old bread
may be used again by drying it in an
oven, grinding it in mill, mixing it
up and baking it again in some other
form.
But they can use only small por-
tion of it in this way, so the most of it
is either given away to poor people, or
else for chicken feed. hog feed or cat.
tie feed.
A chicken raiser near city can
easily make arrangements to get so
many hundred pounds of 1t each week
