SOME LITTLE Pig TROUBLES
DO Not Feed Dirty, Spoiled or Sour
Fesd-Good Remedy for Ricketts,
isolate Sick Hogs.

If your little pigs are troubled with
scours change the diet of the SOW. Do
not feed dirty, spoiled or sour feed
Thoroughly cook all meat scraps.
If hard, bony enlargements form on
the hook joints Of your small pigs, the
chances are that they have ricketts,.
Introduce some new blood into the
herd and feed your pigs per each 100
pounds weight mixture Of calcium
phosphate pulverized, nux vomica two
ounces, artificial carlsbad salts ten
ounces.
For worms give five grains calomel
and ten grains santonin per each 100
pounds, followed in about six hours by
a bran mash, or give ten grains san
tonin and 20 grains areca nut after
S24:hoursfast.
Follow some of your hogs to the
packing house and see them inspected.
1t will pay in case they are tubercular.
Use plenty Of whitewash around the
pens.
Isolate all sick hogs. Burn all dead
ones.

CARING FOR FLOCK OF DUCKS
Fowls Do Better If Given Same Ra.
tion Every Day-Chanse Is Likely
to Stop Egg Yield.

Handle ducks by the neck-never
carry them by the legs.
If a duck breaks down in driving
to pasture, mark 1t for the butcher;
we want vigor in the breeding stock.
Ducks may be housed for laying
early in October. Do not put over 20
ducks in a pen together; they pile up
at feeding time, or If scared, and are
apt to get injured in a large flock.
A duck fed for eggs in October
should lay in six weeks. A good feed
is made by taking equal parts Of corn

METHODS Or FILLING sIL0S
Careful Trampine and Levelins, To-
eether With Other Essential
Features, Are Important.
kBy W. E. MARKEY. Wisconsin Expert
ment Station.)

kBy W. E. MARKEY. Wisconsin Expert
ment Station)
Haphazard methods Of filling silos
have spoiled many thousand tons of
good corn and often given silage a
''black eye" Careful tramping and
leveling, together with other essential
features in filling the silo are i'm
portant.
Corn makes the best silage when the
majority Of the ears are dented, or
Just beginning to glaze. If corn is put
into the silo before this stage Of ma
turity is reached, the silage becomes
very sour or acid, and is apt to have q
low feeding value.
When corn becomes dry from being
frosted or allowed to get ripe, it will
make good silage If water is added at
Alling time. No definite rule can be
given as to the right amount of water
to add, but the aim should be to make
the moisture content equal to that Of
green corn.
It is very essential that the cut corn
be thoroughly mixed after 1t Is elevat-
ed or blown into the silo. If this Is not
done, the heavier portions will fall in
one place and cause the silage to settle
unevenly, resulting in much loss, due
to spelling.
During the process Of filling, the cut
material sEould be kept slightly higher
at the edges than in the center, and
well tramped close to the sides where
friction prevents it from settling. It
is not necessary to tramp in the Gen.
ter. of the silo, for the weight Of the
'silage there is sufficient to insure
thorough packing. Silos that are deep
and of large diameter require less
tramping than those Of smaller dimen-
'sions.

Eradicate Canada Thistles.

Canada thistles In small patches
may be killed by covering the ground
with tar paper or other heavy building
paper, overlapping the edges so that
no plants can reach the air and sun
light. The paper may be weighted
down with earth, stones, or fence rails.

Executors Had Right to
Sell Common Stock at
81, Says Surrogate.
CALLS ACTION HELP
TO HATCH ESTATE
Court, However, Opposes the
Payment of an individual
Debt from the Assets.

Surrogate Fowler handed down 2 de-
cision yesterday or the objections of
heirs OF Edward p. Hatch, who was
president of Lord K Taylor, 70 the ac-
counting Of the executors Of the Hatch
estate, the Surrogate unfolding, with
modification. the report OF Robert h.
Dcyo, referee, who heard the oblcc-
tons. The most important point de
cdcd was that The executors were
within their powers when they sold the
Lord & Taylor common stock held by
Mr.. Hatch to John Clahin at %, al
though the teststor fixed the price at
10 in his will
Mr.. Latch left an estate valued at
$2,700,000. The executors Of his es-
tate-Samuel Il. OrdwOy, Wilson Hatch
fucker and Edward ii. Titus-sold
1869 shares Of the common stock,
through john Clafin, to the United
Dry Goods Company.
The Directing heirs contended that
the executors should De charged with
1851 .427. the difference between the
selling price Of 81 and the value OF
ITO placed on the stock by Mr.. Hatch.
THE procarious condition OF the
company's credit" said the Surrogate.
induced the executors 20 endeavor 10
dispose Of the tcstator's holdings Of
stock for the general good. An offer
Of $50 q share on certain conditions
was declined by the executors. Sub
seQuently they accepted an offer OF S21
q share, the purchaser agreeing TO in
vest S1.000,000 in the preferred stock
Of the company The company certain
H. needed strengthening, and this in
vestment OF 81 100000 materially in
creased the estates holdings of pre-
ferred stock The purchaser was a
merchant Of very high financial stand
ing in thc business community. His
accession and future interest in its al
fairs was a distinct gain for the bust
ness corporation"
The modification OF the referees re-
