PROVIDE COMFORTS
FOR THE POULTRY
Few Suggestions Which Cannot
Fail to Be of Much Assist
ance to Any Farmer.

Economy of floor space. simplicity
OF construction and convenience in
handling the fowls which means a
saving of labor are the essentials to
be observed in the arrangement OF
the interior of the hen house

of the house, generally as far as pos
sible from the front, are the most sat

level there will be no tendency of the
birds TO crowd on the highest. Valu.
able fowls are often injured or killed
by falling when crowded from the
.oosts. Roosts should be simple In
construction, easy to handle and firm.
Poles may be used to advantage, pro-
vided they are two inches in diameter
Two-inch by four-inch material placed
on edge with the upper corners round
ed make sensible and satisfactory
roosts. Generally these may be set
in notches along the back of the
house, making them easy to remove
for cleaning. They should be placed
not less than fifteen inches from the
wall and one foot apart. Often the
roosts are fastened to cross pieces
In the form of frame, these pieces
being hinged at the back.
By raising these the cleaning of
the dropping boards is often made
easier. When hens are apt to perch
during the day they can often be en-
couraged to use the scratching floor
by raising the roosts. The height of
the roosts from the floor depends
largely upon the breed of fowl and
upon the height of the house. For
heavy breeds, two to three feet is
as high as the bird can safely perch.
while for lighter breeds four or even
five feet Is practiced. Eight to fifteen
inches of roosting space should be
allowed for each bird.
The use OF the droppings platform
Is strongly advocated because II in.
creases the size of the scratching
floor and also because the manure ia
easily saved in this way. The plat
form, however, must be cleaned regu-
larly. II the poultryman is not willing

CARING FOR HOGS

Bad results sometimes follow I'M

Immediately after vaccination IN
spite OF the fact that clean, potent
serum and fresh, uncontaminated
virus were used. Among the things
that can be done to contribute to good
results are the following:
Feed the hogs moderately for "a
hours before vacclnating. Do not fast
them, as this will cause them to be
wild and hard to handle.
The hogs should be kept In clean
dry place before vaccination. TINS
ia better both for the hogs and for the
persons who are 20 handle them.
II possible, group the hogs accord
ing to size. This will lessen the
chances for error in estimating the
doses OF serum to be injected.
Provide a box or table on which to
place the bottles OF serum and virus,
disinfectants, syringes, etc, where
they will be convenient but not likely
to be upset.
Il is even more important that the
hogs be kept clean and dry after vac
cination, to reduce to minimum the
chances for injecting the needle
wounds.
Get the hogs into on inclosure
where they can be caught without
chasing them. This should be done
before the arrival OF the veterinarian
Special attention should be paid to
the feeding OF the hogs after vaccina-
tion. Corn should be excluded from
the diet entirely for at least a week.
Give reduced rations of slightly laxa-
tive feeds
Watch the hogs carefully for at
least three weeks after vaccination,
especially II the double treatment has
been used. II all goes well for three
weeks, there is little to be feared
later on.
II any hogs show signs OF sickness
following the double treatment. they
should be isolated from the rest OF
the herd. Sometimes another dose OF
serum will save them.
II an abscess forms at the point OF
injection. 1t should be opened prompt
ly, and given a chance to drain.
Very few assesses should occur,
however II the foregoing rules are
followed
Good serum properly used is very
reliable and has saved hogs worth
millions of dollars. but large quantities
