Raise Corn for silaoe.

All dairymen recognize the value VI
corn ensilage as cheap food for milk
production. 1t is but seldom, on look

your place until you are sure they
are free of disease.
Do not allow a patent medicine man
on your place, for you do not know
how recently he has visited sick
herd.
Disinfect your wagons and your own
shoes and clothes after hauling hogs
to stock yards or railroad loading
pens.
Avoid every possible way of carry
ing infection to your hogs.
IAN ounce of prevention Is worth a
pound of cure" is an old saying, but In
this case 1t is everything.
The objection of the pig clubs is
to show the boys how better and
cheaper hogs may be produced by
the use of improved blood and the
growing of forage crops 1t also aims
to encourage the home curing of meats
and the growing of forage crops while
discouraging the use of high-priced
feeds. The work of the boys pig
clubs IS planned to compliment the
work of the boys corn clubs by show
ing the boys how they can profitably
sell their corn through hogs.
The boys in these clubs learn how
to Judge hogs and to select them for
breeding or market purposes. They
also learn practical ways in the man
agement, feeding, sanitation, and pre-
vention of diseases of SWINE all of
which information proves valuable
with respect to other forms of live
stock work.
A not unimportant detail of the
work to the boys themselves Is the
money which they are enabled to earn
by marketing their product. They also
come to relaize sooner or later that
farm life has its interesting side, and
that success in the farming business
is we'll worth while.
Any boy between the ages OF ten
and eighteen may become member
of pig club. Each boy must secure
at least one pig If he becomes q mem.
Der. Each member must care for his.
stock in person and keep record of
his pig for at least four months in or
der to compete for prize. The mem.
bers OF the club must agree to study
the instructions which the depart
ment sends out for the benefit of the
hog raisers. The new bulletin out
lines plan of organization for the
boys pig club. giving sample con
stitution and bylaws. The work is
conducted by the department in CO.
operation with the various state col.
leges.
Wherever possible the bureau of
animal industry places state agent
in every southern state desiring to
carry on this work. These state
agents assist in organizing the pig
clubs, and give full instructions and
advice to any youthful pig growers
who apply for it. The agents can oft,
en- help boy in purchasing a pure
bred pig at moderate price.

BREEDING GOOD HOGS
EFFORT BEING MADE TO INTER
EST BOYS IN SWINE.
Pork Can Be Marketed In Many Forms
and Can Be Produced So as to
Sell Much Cheaper Than Beef
Ten Excellent Points.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The department of agriculture is
Sndeavoring to interest the younger
generation on southern farms in the
breeding of good hogs. 1t is the OBJ
ject of the department to encourage
the young men to raise at least enough
pork for home consumption and If
possible, a surplus for the market.
Pork can be marketed in many forms
fresh pork, hams, bacon and sau-
sage-and can be produced so as to
sell much cheaper than beef. A short
age of beef means an increased de-
mand for pork, and 1t seems reason
able that there should be ready de-
mand for all the available supply,
This means money In the pocket OF
the boy hog raiser.
Some of the points which the de-
partment advises the youthful hog
grower to bear in mind are the fol
lowing:
/. The feeding and care are as i'm
do JhC DlOCdAh6 III PAONNSANC
a good hog. Plenty of feed and good
care may make a good hog out of a
runt, but lack of it will always make
a runt out of good pig.
2. To make pork cheaply a perma-
nent pasture and forage crops must
be used.
8. Young pigs must have dry bed
and plenty of sunshine.
A. Begin feeding the pig as soon
as he will eat, and keep him growing
until he is mature.
s. Always keep plenty OF clean,
fresh water where the hogs may drink
at any time.
6. Quarantine all newly purchased
animals for three weeks.
Z. Never keep a female for brood
SOW, no matter how well bred she
may be, If she will not produce more
than four strong pigs at litter.
s. The more milk a SOW will give
the faster her pigs will grow.
8. Lice prevent a hog from doing
we'll
10. Always keep mixture of char
coal, wood ashes, lime, sulphur, salt,
and copperas before the hogs.
These points are emphasized in a
bulletin just issued by the bureau of
animal industry, entitled Boys Pig
Clubs" with special reference to their
in the south 1t can be
had free by the young farmer by APP
plication to the department. 1t con-
tains a number Of Illustrations, q de-
sign of a portable hog house, which
can be built easily and cheaply, and a
design of feeding pen for small pigs.
In the pamphlet are some very i'm
portant "don'ts" which should aid the
Young farmer in preventing the dan
gerous disease Of hog cholera Here
are the suggestions:
Do not have hog lots next to high
ways, railroads, or streams II your
neighbours hogs have cholera do not
allow any one from his farm to visit
your farm, and especially your hog
lot or pens, and keep away from your
neighbor's hog lot, whether his hogs
nave cholera or not.
Do not keep pigeons or allow them
70 alight on your premises.
Keep away crows and buzzards.
Quarantine all new hogs brought to

better the wool Anybody who has
used a dipping vat for a few years
knows that it has a fine effect on the
skin, and therefore upon the wool OF
the sheep. 1t increases the quantity
and actually improves the quality or
the wool.
No sheep half covered with ticks
and parasites, with sharp and irritat-
ing blood-suckers is going to put on
much flesh. When the parasites are
bad you can see a good many pounds
of wool actually rubbed off on the
fence corners, rough bark of the
trees, and even on the barbs of the
fencing wire. The purpose of dipping
is to destroy the scab mites, Aicks and,
lice that cause this sort of t-4ing

flock is figured in dollars and cents.

FLUSHING SYSTEM
TO REMOVE SNOW
Chief Kenlon of Fire Department
Patents Plan by Which the
Sewers Nav Be Used.

spurred TO action by the helpless condi-
ton In which the Fire Department was
placed because OF the deep snow that fell
in the storms about the middle Of Febru-
airy, Chief Kenlon Of the Fire Department
has patented a method for the rapid re-
moval Of snow.
Presenting the plan to Mayor Mitchell,
Fire Commissioner Adamson writes:
Chief Kenlon proposes to provide four
manhole openings 10 sewers in addition to
the existing manhole. the additional man
holes being grouped at equal distances
around the central manhole. all OF them
coverging into the central conduit at a
distance of several feet below the ground.
Streams OF water are to be used 10 force
the snow through the chutes into the
sewer and a revolving nozzle is to be op-
Grated in the main conduit TO melt Il as
rapidly as II is delivered
Ike is convinced that this plan is thor
oughly practicable and that the cost OF in
stalling IL throughout the city would be
less than the cost of removing the recent
heavy snowstorrn."
