CRUDE OIL GOOD FOR SWINE
ming in Pastures Wet With Dew or
Rain, Can Be Cured.

Quite often when pigs are running
in tall pasture which is frequently wet
with dew or rain, an irritating effect
Is produced on the skin and a sore
condition commonly known as scurvy
Is the result. This is particularly true
when hogs are pastured in rape which
Is more likely to have this effect than
other forage crops in which the pigs
may be pastured.
The remedy Is to apply crude oil or
some similar substance which will
heal up the sores and protect the skin
from further irritation. Where this is
not done a stoppage Of growth and
sometimes the loss of the pig is the
result Often this will be neglected
unless some special provision is made
which will permit the hog to treat it.
self. Sometimes burlap sacks are
wrapped around post in the pasture
and kept saturated with oil. Better
and more economical are some of the
modern automatic devices which will
apply oil in suitable quantities when
ever the hog rubs as he will do against
any object when his skin is irritated
from any cause.
This will be just as effective in sub
DUNG lice which often prey upon hogs
where attention is not given to their
eradication. 1t is attention to little
details Of this kind which makes for
efficiency in farm management and
satisfactory profit from every depart
ment of the farm production.

WIDE TIRES ASSIST HAULING
Do Not Cut Deeply and Make Better
Tracks on Roads Which Are Trav.
eIed While Soil Is Soft.

(By +. A. WRIT. Kansas Experiment Sta
tion)
Widetired wagons pull more easily
than narrow tired ones 80 per cent of
the times when they are used. Pro-
fessor Writ has just completed ex-
perlments with wide and with narrow
tired wagons
Narrow tires pull harder than wide
tires because the narrow tire cuts
deeper into the top soil. The wide
tire does not cut 30 deep and makes a
better track on roads which are
travelled while the ground is soft The
wide tire packs the surface into firm
roadbed
The tests show that in corn fields,
plowed fields, field lanes and on pas
ture and alfalfa land. the draft on the
wide tire is considerably less no mat
ter what the condition of the soil.
In places where the mud is deep and
rolls up on the wheels, in ruts made
by narrow wheels, or in a surface of
mud with hard ground beneath, the
narrow tire will pull more easily. The
narrow wheel fits the rut, on the hard
bottom of which it runs, and it col
lects less mud than the wide tire.
Were only wide tires used, however,
this condition hardly could occur.

HOUSE FOR LAYING PUlLETS
slant State of Fear, Which Will
Retard Egg Production.

The pullets that have begun to lay
or give promise of early laying should
be housed away from the old stock
Pullets require more food than old
hens, and IL the hens and pullets are
kept in the same house and fed to-
gether, either the old hens will eat
too much and thus get too fat to lay,
or the pullets will get insufficient food
to keep up egg production and main
tain bodily growth at the same time.
If housed together, the old hens will
fight the pullets and keep them in a
constant state of fear which will
diminish or retard egg production.
If the farmer has but one poultry
house, the young stock can be sepa-
rated from the old by merely running
n wire partition through the middle
OF the house.

NOTES OF THE SHEEP FLOCK
Animals Fit Nicely Into Modern
Farming-EarIy Maturity Is I'M
portant Point to Consider.

AS the country ages and the fertil-
ity Of it's fields becomes exhausted its
appreciation Of the sheep will in
crease
Early maturity is an important quail
ity to consider in selecting sheep.
Whether you are keeping sheep for
pleasure or profit, your desires will
be fully met If your flock is of supe-
rior quality.
A strong sheep does not absolutely
need to be large one, in fact ma
jority of the strongest sheep are me-
dium sized.
Sheep do not interfere with, but
fit nicely into modern farming.
Sell the aged ewes to butcher be-
fore the pastures dry up.
Sell the fat lambs as soon as they
are fit. and give those left better
chance.
One or two gentle ewes should be
left with the lambs to keep them gen
tie.
Sheep that are in any way diseased
should never be retained for breeding
stock, no matter how good fleece or
lamb they may produce.
Good lambs are money makers.

WHEN TO WEAN LITTLE PIGS
Many Of Best Hog Men Take All
Young Animals Away at Same
Time-Good Plan Outlined.

Should the pigs be weaned at six to
eight weeks Of age, or should they be
allowed to run with the sows until
the sows wean them?
Sows which raise two filters a year
had best wean their spring litter at
six to eight weeks Of age. Some farm
ers who keep sows only for one litter
are in favor Of early weaving so that
the sows may be dried of rapidly and
fattened.
II the pigs are to be weaned early,
they must be taught to eat grain long
before they are weaned. Two or three
weeks old pigs will learn to nibble a
little. A good grain mixture is 60
10 parts of tankage or wheat meal.
5 parts of oats and parts Of oil
meal. If skinned milk may be had
1t should certainly be fed. especially
just after weaving time.
Many Of our best hog men now wean
their pigs early and wean them all at
the same time. The day before wean-
ing they put the sows and pigs to-
gether in a pen by themselves and give
the sows little or no food that day.
The pigs are allowed to drain the
sows' udders and the next day the
pigs are put in a good pasture by
themselves and given a nutritious ra-
ton, skim milk being fed If it is
available The sows are put on short
pasture and for the first day or two
are given plenty to drink but little to
eat. In short time they are dried
up completely and they may be given
a good ration to get them in condition
for breeding or for market

KILLS SELF IN PADDED CELL
Insane Prisoner Commits Suicide by
Setting Fire to Blanket-Suffo-
Gates TO Death.

Fond du Lac.-John Spellecy, AZ
years old, committed suicide in the
padded cell of the county Jail by set
ting fire to a blanket, death result
ing from suffocation.
Spellecy had been found insane
and was left in the custody of rela-
tives pending his transportation to
the northern hospital. He was taken
into custody but partially clothed and
in violent condition.
Using a match which escaped
close search by the Jail officials, he
made a smudge from a blanket.
Neither officials nor inmates of the
institution heard any noise from the
cell, and the tightly fastened door
prevented the fumes from escaping.
