HOW TO MAKE HOG
RAISING A SUCCESS

ton us possible at all times. writes Il.
Little in Orange Judd Farmer In fact.
| strive to do this with all classes Of
swine. | sort the hogs as to size and
age and keep them in small pasture
lots. let them run out all the time
as | am great believer in hogs hav-
ing plenty Of exercise. They must
have this TO do we'll also plan to
feed them a variety of stuff and to
feed regularly. believing that their
stomachs need attention just as well
as those of human beings.
My breeding sows are kept in yard
by themselves. ! do not shut them
up until narrowing time approaches.
Sometimes | keep them in pen a
day or two beforehand. but | very
frequently permit them to run out
with the other sows. ! am convinced
that the SOW should be shut up by
herself and fed alone some time be-
fore and some days after narrowing.
After the pigs come the SOW should
not be fed very much for a few days
else the pigs will scour and some of
them may die. After two or three
days the SOW should have her feed the
same as before narrowing. Provide
plenty of room for exercise at all
times for the SOW as well as the pigs.
When the pigs are Il month or SO old
they will eat little corn and little
swill. After the pigs are eight weeks

LUMPY JAW IN CATTLE.
Two Methods Of Treating This DAN
qerous Disease.

Lumpy jaw is the common name for
the disease of the head, jaw and neck
of cattle. The scientific name Is de-
rived from the fungous spore which
gives rise to the disease and which Is
technically known as actinomyces,
writes DIR. A. S. Alexander in the Farm
Journal
There are two ways Of treating the
disease. either Of which must be resort
ed to at once. In many cases the tu-
NOR when first noticed is not attached
to the bone and may be cut out with
little difficulty or danger. After the
operation. which is best performed by
veterinarian who Is familiar with
the anatomy Of the part, the walls OF
the cavity made by the knife should be
cauterized with the hot iron OF some
caustic solution such as bichloride of
mercury and hydrochloric acid in wa
ter
This solution should consist Of at
least half an ounce of bichloride to the
pint of water with sufficient Of the
acid to make it dissolve. 1t may be
introduced DN luculiS Va "a SNUO "a Wv
ton on a stick. There are many other
effective solutions.
If the operation and application are
thoroughly done the first time there Is
rarely need of second operation, but
the solution may have to be used sew
eral times while the wound Is healing.
If the bone is involved it will have to
be scraped and the swab used as be-
fore.
The other method of treatment con-
sists in giving iodide of potash inter-
nally. and it is very effective, especial
ly in cases of actinOmycosis of the
tongue (wooden tongue). The dose for
an adult steer is one dram two or
three times daily in a little water, ac-
cording to the severity of the case, and
it is to be continued until the disease
seems to be lessening, when the dose
may be reduced one-half and continued
for few days longer AS rule, fai.
progress toward recovery is made IT.

MILKING SHORTHORNS
LIKED IN ENGLAND

1t is claimed by high authority that
from 80 to 80 per cent Of the milk
used in England comes from dual
types of cattle, writes Thomas Shaw
in the National Stockman. The great
preponderance comes from the Short
horns, in fact very much more than
from all the other breeds combined.
There are some Shorthorn herds in
England that are maintained only for
beef. But the proportion Of these to
that Of the Shorthorns that are MIXED
Is very small indeed.
1t would also be correct to say that
nearly as large proportion Of the
beef consumed comes from Shorthorns,
pure and in the graded form, and yet
in the face of these facts some of the
