secured through pipes, it can be-
hauled in barrels. Many hog raisers

Running streams of water are very
satisfactory when they originate on
the farm, but if they travel long dis

across public roads. they are very
likely to be contaminated and NAV
spread diseases such as anthrax, and
hog cholera Keeping hogs healthy is
much more important than trying to
cure them when sick.

feed pigs separate from the sows,
even when nursing. This can be done
by building near the colony house a
temporary fence which will allow the
little pigs to get in, but will keep out
the old hogs. If this plan is adopted
the pigs will practically wean them
selves without inconvenience either to
themselves or to the sow. We prefer
feeding the small pigs and in fact all
our hogs in either iron or concrete
troughs, with round bottoms. "
shaped troughs can also be used
Fences play very important part

Woven wire used as temporary fence

can be used to advantage when lumber
and help are not plentiful.
In planting forage crops it is an
advantage to plant in long narrow

TO arrange the crops so that one Sec

CRy p. M. RANCKN

(By E. M. RANCK1
To be successful hog raiser one
must keep his stock under the very
best environment possible. Do not
think any old thing or place is good
enough for hog. He should have
access to good clean water to drink
at all times, and not stale pond water
or mud wallows. Clean, pure water

healthy than any other one thing.
The hog has peculiar skin, and under
the skin is thick pad of fa&. 80 that
he must get rid of his heat mostly
from his lungs by breathing. In hot
weather he needs some cool place to
lie in, and If he can find mud he wal
lows in 1t. He prefers good, clean wa
ter, but if he cannot find. that, mud is
the best substitute. Shade is very es-
sential in warm weather.
Buildings for hogs need not be very
expensive. We advise colony houses
of the A shape, with both sides open
with hinges on the top This type of
house furnishes shade, ventilation, and
sunlight in summer and when closed,
very comfortable narrowing pen in
winter These houses are erected on
skids and can be moved from place to
place with pair of horses or mules.
They are so constructed that theylare
ideal narrowing pens. A SOW about to
farrow can be placed in lot in which
is one of these colony houses, and she
will make her nest in the house if
some hay or straw is placed there.
Tenders should be arranged around
the sides of the house so that the SOW
will not be able to lie close to the
sides and in that way crush the young
pigs in the nest.
These colony houses can also be
used for the boars and growing pigs,
although some prefer permanent quar-
tiers for the boar and those pigs in
tended for the market. 1t is a great
advantage to feed hogs on concrete
or tight board floors, especially if one
is feeding ear corn, as there will be
no waste. Feeding in muddy or dusty
lots is very dangerous practice.
