bring swine from such places and put
them in healthy breeding herd.
It is an excellent plan to have q
quarantine pen some distance from
all other swine, and so located that
there is practically no danger OF
transmitting diseases to the herd. All
recently purchased animals should be
held in quarantine in such a pen for
ten days, to be certain that they are
free from disease, before placing them
in a healthy herd.
II disease of swine occurs in the
neighborhood. keep away from these
farms and do not allow anyone who
has been on an infected farm to visit
your herd. II your swine have ACCESS
to a stream of running water and
disease appears on farm located
above yours, on the same stream, re-
lection is liable to be carried by the
stream. Dogs and buzzards, also, are
liable to carry the infection of hog
cholera and should be kept away If
possible. Such measures are simple,
but they are very important.
While a few swine can be raised
confined in limited quarters, If such
quarters are kept clean, they will do
better, will keep in better health and
can be grown more cheaply If they
have plenty of range for pasture. 1t
is desirable to have the. pasture
fenced off into suitable areas so that
the hogs can be shifted from one pas
ture to another, not only to provide
fresh pasture, but also to afford an
opportunity to disinfect the pastures,
either by blowing and seeding to a
forage crop or by exposure to sun and
weather. Nearly all cases Of intestinal
worms. which are rather common in
swine, are contracted from infected
ground, and swine can be kept free
from these parasites by frequent
changes of pasture.

SUCCESS WITH SWINE
Most important Factor Is Health
Of the Animals.
Extraordinary Care Should Be Exer'
cIsed In Purchasing Hogs to See
That They Are Free From
TransmissibIe Diseases.
(By N. MAYO.)

CBy N. MAYO)
In the successful raising OF swine
there are problems, other than that
Of feeding, which often determine
success or failure. The most impor.
tant Of these is the preservation OF
the health of the swine. Wherever a
considerable number Of animals are
gathered together the risk from dis
ease IL considerably increased. Extra
precautions must then be taken to
guard against disease and to keep the
animals in thrifty condition.
The first essential Is that their
quarters be kept clean and sanitary
In purchasing swine. care should be
taken that they come from herds free
from transmissible diseases, that they
are healthy, and have not been ex-
posed to disease in transit. Public
stockyards are liable to be infected
with hog cholera; 1t is dangerous to

Effects Of Spraying Heavy OIL on
Trees-The Oil Penetrated the Barb
and Killed the Tissue.

but by others who are reckless to the
point of seeming to delight in taking
chances.
Many kinds of oils have been used
for spraying insect pests, some OF
which have proved reliable and others
Injurious. Kerosene oil can be used
on some plants under certain condi-
tons without causing injury, while in
other cases it will kill them. We have
seen quite a few shade trees killed
by spraying with kerosene and water
to exterminate woolly aphis; the oil
soaked into the bark, reached the
cambium and sapwood, destroying the
tissue.
Gas oil, a heavy oil used in the
manufacture of water gas, is very in
furious to trees when used as a spray.
A few years ago several hundred
shade trees were severely injured in
one of the eastern cities by spraying
the trunks with this oil to kill clusters
of gypsy moth eggs, it being used with
out any knowledge whatever of its
adaptability to this purpose.
Ordinary house paint has some
times been used on smooth-bark trees
with great injury.
Occasionally commercial oils used
for spraying fruit trees for the San
Jose scale cause local injury, and
some shade trees have been known to
be affected by their use.
Oils and other materials to keep
down the dust in roadbeds are now
much in use, and we have observed
some injury from this source, when
the trees were located close to the
highway and the buttresses Of the
roots were exposed.
Salt used on sidewalks, in cutters
and trolley lines in winter has been
known to injure the root systems of
trees. Arsenate Of soda, potassium
cyanide and other chemicals are ex-
tremely poisonous to trees and will
cause death.
