DISEASES OF HOGS.
Worms and Lack of Mineral Matter

Worms and Lack Of Mineral Matter
Often Cause Serious Loss.
Whenever and wherever hog cholera
is prevailing all other epidemics to
which swine are subject are apt to be
classified as hog cholera. Here is an
Incident that took place in Will coun-
ty, ILL.,. which Is a case In point. The
same is related by the Farmers Re
view as illustrating the value OF a
county adviser:
One day a hurry up call was re-
ceived from a farmer whose hogs were
dying from supposed cholera. OF 300
head but fifty were left, and the ex-
ternal appearance Of these did not in
dicate cholera. The adviser had a sick
one killed and Immediately made a
postmortem examination. The vital
organs were found to be I'm a healthy
condition, but the intestines were full
OF worms Mr. Grannis advised a
vermifuge for expelling the worms and
the feeding Of a mixture OF limestone
screenings, rock phosphate and wood
ashes. This advice was followed. and
no further loss OF pigs followed. This
advice Is invaluable to the hog raiser.
Worms and lack or mineral matter are
two great causes that contribute to a
had physical condition. which makes
pigs susceptible TO any disease that
may come along. and II they die In any
number It Is called cholera.

HANDLING THE
DAIRY BRED BULL

The news press has contained sew
eral notices recently relative to loss OF
human life by attacks Of dairy bred
bulls, says the Kansas Farmer. This
brings up the question as to whether
or not bulls of dairy breeding are more
inclined to viciousness than are those
Of beef breeding
1t is our Judgment that males Of
dairy breeding are much more so in
clined than males of beef breeding
It must be remembered that the dairy
bred male is OF nervous temperament
Beef bred males are Of what is known
In humans as the Emphatic tempera-
ment, being symbolical Of sluggishness
This difference in temperament does
not necessarily imply that all dairy
bred males are vicious and unsafe

done at home for nothing at all. even
by an unskilled person. You lay a
folded sheet upon a table and pin
down the veil to it very carefully. The
hens must be straight and all edges
laid fat. Then you take a clean white
cloth wrung out Of hot water and lay
over a portion OF the Grape.
When the veil is smooth hold a very
hot iron over the wet cloth and about
two inches away from It. It must
never for a moment touch the wet rag.

do not take from the sheet until per
fectly dry. The Grape viii then be

However, it does account for much
larger percentage Of them being so
than in the case of males Of beef
breeds. However. the male of dairy
breeds should be carefully handled to
avoid the development Of viciousness.

taught to know that the herdsman is

Quently handled with a friendly stroke
than with the pitchfOrk. The herds
man should of course be firm with
him at all times. giving the male to
understand that his herdsman is boss.
Il is our observation that the male
cannot be ruled by fear He can fight
and he knows 1t and he will fight If
necessary.
His horns should be removed. and.
while taking them Off in calfhood will
result in leaving a head Of more shape
ly form and of greater beauty. we do
believe that deh0rnlng at the age Of
twelve to eighteen months has good
effect on him. 1t has a tendency to
take the fight out Of him and show
him that there are other controlling
powers besides himself. Nevertheless
the male should be handled cautiously
Persons about him should at all times

should have a ring In his nose. II he
IS inclined TO be unruly and has the
freedom Of the pasture a chain or

tanning effect and will often prevent
injury In case he should give chase.

dairy bred male the freedom Of the
pasture and feed lot is not a wise one
for reasons other than that Of danger
to human life.

''Thst the high cost cf living WAS due

of tariff did not affect wages. that

DEEP FALL FLOWING
:: :: ;: :. ;: ~ :; :: :: ;: :: :: ;: y ;: y :,

The preparation of a deep and thor
oughly pulverized seed bed is one of
the fundamental principles of good
farming. This is recognized by farmers
the world over, and is being practiced
almost altogether in those countries
where the greatest improvement in
crop production is to be found. One of
the chief reasons why the average
yield obtained in countries which have
been farmed for great many years,
is that our farmers will not go to the
trouble and expense of preparing the
proper seed bed for the crops they
plant Our farmers can never hope to
approach the yields secured in other
countries until they adopt the practice
of preparing better seed beds for their
crops.
Experience is a dear teacher, but
some farmers will accept no other.
Certainly they should not in cases
where experience and teaching do not
agree. In this case, however, they
have before them then successful eX-
perence of farmers the whole world
over. Proper seed bed preparation is
important in all sections, but it is |
especially necessary in those sections
where the rainfall is light or uncer-
tain. The experience of the past few
years should have impressed two
things upon the minds of every farmer
living upon land where rainfall has |
been deficient. First, that soil moist
ure is usually the most important fac
tor in crop production. Second, that
proper and seasonable preparation,
