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
saving of labor are the essentials to
be observed in the arrangement of
the interior of the hen house.
Roosts located in the warmest part
OF the house, generally as far as pos
sible from the front, are the most sat-
isfactory. If they are placed on
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
roosts. Roosts should be simple in
construction, easy to handle and firm.
Poles may be used to advantage. pro-
v1ded 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 il in
creases the size of the scratching
floor and also because the manure Is
easily saved in this way. The plat
form, however, must be cleaned regu-
larly. If the poultryman is not willing
to take this extra care it would he

roosts surrounded by partition tn

the droppings. The platform should
be placed low enough to make clean.

CARING FOR HOGS
AT VACCINATION
Good Serum Properly Used Has
Saved Millions of Dollars
Worth of Swine.

CBy II. p. HOSKINS, University Farm,
St. Paul. Mimi
Bad results sometimes follow i'm
proper or careless methods of han
ding and feeding, both prior to and
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 vaccinating. Do not fast
them, as this will ca.lse them to be
wild and hard to handle.
The hogs should be kept in a clean
dry place before vaccination. This
is better both for the hogs and for the
persons who are to handle them.
If 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.
It is even more important that the
hogs be kept clean and dry after vac
cination, to reduce to a minimum the
chances for injecting the needle
wounds.
Get the hogs into on Enclosure
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-
ton. Corn should be excluded from
the diet entirely for at least week.
Give reduced rations of slightly laxa-
tive feeds.
Watch the hogs carefully for at
least three weeks after vaccination,
especially if the double treatment has
been used. If all goes well for three
weeks, there is little to be feared
later on.
If 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.
If an abscess forms at the point of
injection, it should be opened prompt
ly, and given chance to drain.
Very few assesses should occur,
however, if the foregoing rules are
followed.
Good serum properly used is very
reliable and has saved hogs worth
millions of dollars, but large quantities
of impotent or contaminated serum
and even limitations of serum have
been used in many states with bad
results.
There is no known cure or prevent
i've treatment by ordinary medicines
that can be recommended for hog
cholera. Disinfectants properly used
in sufficient strength may have some
value in preventing cholera simply by
destroying virus on feeding floors,
troughs, etc.

will fall off in flesh very rapidly.
The SOW must be fed literally on
milk-making and nourishing feeds,
such as shorts, corn, peas, etc., fed
in an appetizing manner.
Any feed that overheats the blood
Of the SOW, such as too liberal feeding
of rye or barley, will also have the
same effect on the youngsters that
are being nourished by her.
Feeds that make the SOW constipat-
ed or cause her to scour will also af-
feet her youngsters in similar way.
You do not want a lot of little fat
chunks, but you want vigorous,

teach my little pigs not to de-
pend entirely upon their mother, just
as young as possible. l partition off
little pen, leaving a hole through
which they can pass and small enough
to keep the SOW out, and supply them
with little skinned milk and a
small amount of shorts, giving them
at each feed just what they will clean
up, yet feeding literally and keeping
the trough clean.

WHEN WAR IS SILENT
HAS NO SoPHISTRY WITH WHICH
TO CONFRONT WOMAN.
Great as Must Be Acknowledged Arc
His Powers of Deception They
Fail in the Presence of the
Mother Of the slain.

War sat on high place near the
city named Earth, where all who
passed along the highway called Life
could see him as they went on their
journeys. Among those who took their
eyes from the ground was King. When
he saw War he stopped.
who are you that sits beside the
highway of Life?" asked King.
War answered:
II am Power, and Dominion, and
Pride, am the maker and unmaker
Of dynasties. / set up and pull down
the rulers of Earth, the great city in
which you dwell BY me wealth and
strength are apportioned, dishonor is
redeemed, right is made plain, and
justice is done"
So King went his way, thinking,
War is good"
Soon there came Young Man, and
be too asked who War was.
War said:
Il am Adventure and Daring, Bold
ness and Hardihood. bestow renown
and distinction on men. Those who
follow me grow brave of spirit and
hard of body. They learn the happi-
ness that comes from ardent toll, the
Joy that is born of struggle. The peo-
pie of Earth look with greatest favor
on those who enroll themselves in my
record book and reward them with the
first consideration"
Young Man whistled as he followed
the highway called Life, and cried
aloud, WAR is noble!"
Next Old Man, weak of sight and
hard of hearing, peered at War and
said: who are you, up there?"
To Old Man War replied:
II am Memory and the Thoughts of
Yesterday. I it was who filled your
heart with friends and clothed your
mind with the good memorials of a
glorious past. I took from you your
arm, but in it's place gave you some
thing far better, the service of de-
voted friend. BY me you were made
poor in pocket, to beg your bread as
you walked the highway called Life,
but in exchange I gave you the great
days of your manhood to comfort and
sustain you" ..,e
Old Mans face was lighted by his
thoughts of the brave days when he
knew War, and as he set one foot be-
fore the other he chuckled, and struck
mis- thigh with his hand, and mumbled
in his beard: "I mind now that War
is the great thing"
But then there came on the high
way called Life Woman, who had
borne sons that War had destroyed,
and daughters who had wept upon her
skirts for their husbands that War
had torn from them; Woman, who
had dried the ears of orphans War
had made and stanched the blood of
wounds that War had given; Woman,
who had mourned Wars dead, and
starved that War might eat.
And Woman saw War and asked
him nothing, but fled shrieking away
from him on the highway called Life;
and as Woman fled from him War was
silent, for he had no words to speak
