Set up three posts as shown in pic

feet from the ground. Screw into
each part a stout hook at the height
that will let the bag rest lightly on
the ground, when filled. If they are

Sanitation in the hog house, lot and
herd is important and no small prob
lem, states the United States depart
ed by many serious diseases and par
asites. tuberculosis, cholera, lice and
mango attack vast numbers of hogs
and cause a consequent heavy loss ito
swine growers annually.
Thumps cause great loss in thrift in
young pigs. Sunlight, dry, clean beds
and plenty of exercise with nutritious
foods are essential to a proper control
or lessening of these losses. Dusty ior
damp sleeping quarters are especially
favorable to disease infection, because
they furnish a favorable place for
germ life. Dipping furnishes an ex-
cellent means c. controlling external
parasites, and the dipping vat is an
economical and convenient part of the
equipment of any large piggery. Gal
vanized iron watts are cheaper and cas-
Ter to put up than concrete watts, but
do not last as long.
The hog louise makes pigs unthrifty
and, though the actual loss due to this
cause cannot be estimated because it
rarely kills an animal, it's annoyance
to the pig IS an important factor in
decreasing the rapidity with which
gains are made. The louise is easily
and effectively controlled by repeated
dipping in almost any of the standard
dips, if they are used in strong solu-
lions.
If vat is not available one of the
three following methods of treatment
may be found to suit conditions: I'D
Spraying with kerosene; (2) putting
up rubbing post filled with crude
oil; 90 putting crude oil or kerosene
on the surface of the water in the
pigs wallowing vat. Mango is a seri-
Gus though not so common parasite as
the louise, and is best and most effec-
lively treated by dipping.

ties for some time, but as the pigs
grow and there Is more demand on
the SOW she should be fed literally.
There is no place equal to good pas
ture for the brood SOW and her litter.
Alfalfa, clover, rape. oats, rye, vetch.
peas, or native pasture afford succu.
lent, nutritious feeds which keep both
SOW and pigs In good condition. Little
pigs will learn to eat the forage with
the SOW at ten days CT age If they have
some palatable pasture.
Sun light and clean dry sleeping
pens aid materially in starting the
pigs off and in securing rapid, eco
| nomical growth. Feed the SOW well
and teach the little pigs to eat as soon
as possible. Cause both the SOW and
pigs to take plenty of exercise,
whether or not on forage or pasture
crops
The dry SOW or bred sow should be
handled as economically as possible,
so they should have pasture and be
fed well balanced ration and just
, enough of it to keep Them in good
condition without permitting them to
become fat. AS narrowing time ap-
proaches the sows should be separated
in order to prevent their crowding or
injuring one another.
The herd boar is best handled by
giving him a pasture lot by himself.
His feed should be liberal enough to
keep him in good breeding condition
only. This will be very light when he
Is not in use for breeding purposes,
but during the breeding his feed should
be increased. His ration should con-
sist of some high-protein feeds, along
with mill feeds and little corn. The
care OF the boar is important because
of his relative Importance in the herd,
and his care. quarters, feed and water
ing should be carefully seen to and
provided.
The term shote is applied to all
swine from the time the pig reaches
weaving age until the fattening or
breeding age is reached. Pigs should
be weaned at from eight to twelve
weeks, depending on whether or not
the sows are to be bred again. 1t Is
always wise to have them taught to
eat well before weaving, in order that
the rate of gain may not be checked.
WEAVING should be done gradually,
the sow's feed being reduced to cause
her to dry up properly and at the
same time Increasing the feed for the
pigs. The pig at this age should have
a. ration rather high In protein and
low in carbohydrates.
The boar pigs should be castrated
after weaving. but before they reach
breeding age; usually week or two
after weaving is a satisfactory time.
The loss in gains or by death is less if
done while the pig is young. Spaying
the females is not advisable under
modern conditions and will not be
found profitable enough to justify the
risk of the operation.

BUY BEST BREEDING ANIMALS
Among Herd Young Boar Should
Be Placed In Quarantine.

How can l get a pure-bred young
boar for my herd and be sure that he
is not going to introduce cholera
among the animals?" asks a typical
progressive farmer of the veterinary
department of the agricultural col
lege University of Wisconsin.
There are just two methods to fol-
low in introducing new stock into the
herd, answers one of the veterinar-
ians who has made a special study of
hog cholera. These are the safe
guards which he recommends:
l. Quarantine the animal for three
weeks. keeping him at a considerable
distance from the rest of the herd
Watch him closely for any of the
symptoms of cholera.
2. II the animal must be used at
once, give him large dose CT cholera
serum. II hts temperature remains
normal, this is sufficient evidence that
he may be used with a reasonable de
gree of safety.

SOW must possess depth and length Of
body, a good heart girth. smooth
shoulders. well-sprung ribs and long.
deep, well-turned hams. Her sides
should be long, deep and straight.
A slightly arched, or straight, broad
back Is much desired, as it is much
stronger than a low back. The back
should carry its width and the side
lines should be straight. She should
stand well up on her toes and hate
smooth, straight joints with hard but
not coarse bone, and must have femi-
nine characteristics, which are indi-
Gated by rather small head and ear,
fully developed, even udder, and abb
sence of shields in the shoulders.
A brood SOW should show early ma
turing qualities and have sufficient
capacity to do the work for which
she is Intended. A smooth coat of fine
hair and a broad head with sufficient
weight for her age are good indica-
lions of early maturity. If selecting
more than one SOW. uniformity of the
lot is desirable and important.
The nearer alike the sows the more
probability of the pigs being uniform,
II pure-bred sows are selected. breed
type should be carefully observed.
Breed type" means the characters.
tics of a breed, and viii be discussed
later.
In selecting the herd boar the same
fol hat hA
animal should show masculinity. A
strong. broad head and neck, sufficient
bone, with strong. straight pasterns,
hook and knee joints are important.
He should show early maturing char
acteristics and have well-developed
testicles. Shields. or thick plates of
skin. should not show on the sides Of
the shoulder before he is one year of
age.
A strong. slightly arched back. with
large heart girth, Is essential in a
first-class boar, for he must have room
for the vital organs, namely, heart,
lungs, etc. Remember that the boar
is at least half OF the herd as far as
breeding is concerned. and he is usu-
ally more. so his selection cannot COM
mand any too much care or patiencey

The narrowing pen should provide a
quiet. safe and comfortable place for
the SOW. Light. cleanliness and free
dom from dampness and drafts are esi
senual. A guard rail should be pro-
vided to keep the SOW from crushing
the pigs.
Feeding the SOW so that she is PROP
erly nourished and not overfat is the
most important OF the herdsman $
duties. She should have succulest
feeds. such as pasture or forage IN
summer. and in winter bran or other
laxative feeds should be given, so
that constipation and fever may be
