How to Raise Hogs in the
Pacific Northwest

same space OF time. or a difference of
IT'S pounds.
Dipping Tanks
The dipping tank probably supplies
the most effective way of Graduating
lice. In using cold tar dips, be sure to
dip twice so as to destroy the newly
Matched nits at the spring dipping.
Kerosene emulsion or crude oil
preparations may be used with effect.
Diseases of Hogs
Hogs are, like all other animals,
subject to many diseases. If you do
not have a good work on Diseases of
Farm Animals, write to Washington
Agricultural College at Pullman, for
definite information. Give them
good definite data and they will sup
ply you with good methods to eradi-
cate. The cause of nearly all diseases
of hogs can be traced to insanitary
conditions of the hog premises.
Disinfecting
There is no place on the farm where
disinfectants are more useful than in
the hog house yards. Whitewash,
air-slacked lime. chloride of lime,
stock dips, compounds of creosote,
crude carbolic acid or other CONNER
cial disinfectants are commonly used.
Pastures and hog lots may be i'm
proved by removing the hogs for a
few weeks each year, and clearing
away all the litter. The unused lots
can be used and planted with a suit
able forage crop. Precautions against
contamination ~ food and drinking
water must be taken. Muddy yards
soon become filthy and endanger the
health of animals. They should be
we'll drained, and all wallow lots fill
ed. 1t is poor practice to use pens
and yards where drainage from other
lots collects or puddles. The quarters
where hog cholera has ragged should
be thoroughly cleaned; all walls,
floors and troughs scraped, after
which a good disinfectant should be
applied with a brush or force spray
pump. All litter should be removed
and burned, the yards plowed and
seeded or where this is not practical,
dry straw spread over the ground and
burned will be effective. Crude Oil
applied with a body brush will eff
fectually destroy lice and other ex-
ternal parasites. Repeat in seven
days until all nits are killed.
The following solutions are recon-
mended for disinfecting premises:
Compound of creosote $50.

Farmers Bulletins
Many of these articles refer to
farmers bulletins. These may be had
by writing to your Congressman and
from Washington Agricultural Col
lege.
narrowing Houses
Each SOW, at narrowing time,
should have her own house. Houses
6xS feet floored, rooted and with
plenty of ventilation are large enough.
Around the house, except at the door,
put a pole or board about eight inches
above the ground and about six or
eight inches from the walls. This can
be set on stakes driven in the ground
and is for the purpose of preventing
the SOW from crushing the life out of
the pigs when she lays down against
the walls, offering a runway for the
pigs to crawl under. If the tent
shaped narrowing house is adopted,
this guard rail is unnecessary as the
angle of the walls offers the same
protection.
1t is well when building narrowing
houses to place them on runners so
that they can be moved about easily
when necessary 1t is desirable to
have the walls of the narrowing house
divided in two parts and hinged SO
that the lower part can be opened to
the sun in good weather.
Feeding
When one starts in to feeding hogs
it must be remembered that the idea
is not only that the hogs must pay for
their keep but that your primary OBJ
ject is to make them pay also for
your keep. With this in mind then
the raiser of the hogs mpst apply him.
self to the best selection of both an
economical and quick fattening
ration.
Bear in mind that the hog apprec-
iates a variety of foods just as much
as the human does. No one food will
produce as much pork as a variety of
equally good foods. The question of
palatability enters into the success of
the food of animals in a greater de-
gree than is usually considered. Past
urage is the foundation of pork and
Is the most important factor in pork
making. Without good pasturage you
have no means of forcing the hogs TO
exercise, which is necessary for their
health. In the Pacific Northwest al
falfa, which is the best forage in the
country, grows in most places, but
clover, vetch, kale. barley, wheat and
oats provide and opportunity for pork

The Summer silo

Rural Spirit: Silage is just as good
for stock in summer as in winter, and
a few acres of corn preserved in the
form of silage will go much further
than a good many acres of burned
out pasture.

tell you how to do so. On account of
its richness in protein cotton seed
meal should be fed with great eau
ton. It is very beneficial when fed
for but a srort time in balanced
ration.
e for but a short time in a balanced
feed when fed as a mixture. Cow
peas are not generally grown in this
section of the country, but where tried
out have been found to be the equal
of corn in food value.
A good way to feed it is to pasture
the crop. Most of the nutriment Is
furnished by the seed, not the leaves
of the plant.
Cross Breeding
Croos-breeding consists of mating
pure-bred animals of different breeds.
In some cases this has proved a sue
cess, the offspring being rapid and
economic pork producers. There are
several objections to this practice.
Cross breeding cannot be carried on
successfully beyond the first genera
ton and the breeder has no chance
for selection to improve his herd. He
cannot raise any of his own breeding
animals and has to buy an entirely
new herd every few years. Again, be-
cause of the prices demanded for
first-class stock, such a breeder will
not get as high grade animals as he
might have could he select the tops
from his own breeding. AS a rule,
cross-breeding is not as successful or
as satisfactory as straight-breeding or
grading.
Crude Oil
Crude oil is very effective in the
killing of lice, mango, etc. Unfor-
tunately, there are some grades of
crude oil which irritate the animal
skin, especially when used in hot
weather
good grade of crude oil is one of
the most effective insect killers
known. An old sack saturated with
the oil and placed so that it touches
the pigs when they pass in and out of
the narrowing house is an effective
way of applying it.
Digester Tankage
A number of experiment have been
made with digester tankage in the
Pacific Northwest and the results
have proved the great utility of the
prepared food An experiment sta
