of the cockerels as soon as they will

Clean the droppings out of the win

Lice breed in filth, hence the cleaner

unsanitary conditions and to insect
pests.

limited quantities of fresh air for the

good, pure water for them. In Sec
tions where running water cannot be
secured through pipes, 1t can be
hauled in barrels. Many hog raisers
provide a sled or drag on skids on
which a barrel is fastened on water
tight floor with sides to it so that the
pigs can drink all around the barrel,
the water coming out of the barrel
about three inches from the bottom
through a small hole, which automat-
ically flows according to the water
consumed.
Running streams of water are very
satisfactory when they originate on
the farm, but if they travel long dis
tances and through several farms and
across public roads, they are very
likely to be contaminated and may
spread diseases such as anthrax, and
hog cholera. Keeping hogs healthy is
much more important than trying to
cure them when sick.

WINTER PASTURE OF ALFALFA

RIGHT FEEDING FOR CALVES
FIaxseed Jelly Is Excellent Substitute
for Fat or Cream-Give Some
Bran and Whole Oats.

There is no need of feeding the or
binary calf for a longer period than
one week on whole milk. OF course
the change to sweet skim milk should
not be made suddenly, nor without
substitutes for the fat or cream. To
replace the fat that has been removed
from the milk, as we'll as to furnish
additional protein, there is. nothing
that can take the place of fiaxseed
jelly. This jelly should be added in
small quantities at first and slowly in
creased. Begin with dessertspoonful
in each feed and gradually increase
until about cupful is being fed night
and morning to the three-months-old
calf. To prepare this jelly steep one
pound of whole flaxseed in water al
most boiling, until a thick paste re-
suits. 1t should be kept cool and sweet
until fed. In addition to the flaxseed
jelly little dry bran and whole oats
should be fed. Some clean, sweet hay
will be found valuable addition to
the ration at very early age.

growing and maturing crops that have
been clipped off by the mower. 1t has
been fighting weeds and crab grass
and has not had the opportunity to
build up it's own root structures very
much. In the fall, if left to itself, it
will make a strong and needed growth
that will insure a heavy crop next
summer. When alfalfa starts grow.
ing in the fall it is storing up energy
in its roots system and this energy
will be used next season. 1t will shoot
up vigorously next spring and will be
all the stronger because of its late
fall growth. That is why fall or win
ter pasturing is bad for it.

abundance of different feeds to make
up for this dry or inferior feed.
Of course the flow of milk cannot
be kept up to what they give during
the spring and summer when pastured,
but with plenty of first-class hay, such
as alfalfa and good clover, and fine
feed of bran and corn meal kept on
or three times a day as Stops, there
will not be so much decrease in the
milk supply after all. That is, if it is
given to them literally and regularly.
Do not think it is a waste to feed
such feed when there isn't anything
but dry hay of some kind to feed on.
On the latter, the COW can barely
maintain her flesh, much less keep up
the milk supply.
When we have good clover hay and
alfalfa, not so much of the bran, fine
feed or meal is required, as both, when
cured properly, are very strong feeds
and cattle thrive on them.
/ am not going to attempt to give
the amount that should be fed, as
leave that for the dairyman to decide
for himself. What l wish to impress
upon the readers mind is this: The
necessity of having on hand always a
liberal supply Of bran, meal, fine feed,
ETC., to go with the dry hay or corn
fodder, which is generally of an in
ferior quality, fed at this season of the
year.
Without the above feed mentioned
1t is impossible for the dairyman to
obtain good results during the season
when cattle are not pastured.

TASK OF DEHORNING CATTLE
Operation Is Most Frequently Per-
formed to Prevent Animals From
lnjuring Each Other.

Cattle have been dehorned since
about 1890. The operation sometimes
is performed to remove horns that are
broken or otherwise injured, but most
frequently it is to prevent horned ami
mails from injuring one another. Usu-
ally it is considered justifiable on ac-
count of the benefits that are derived
from the operation.
The growth of horns on calves may
be prevented entirely by the liberal
use of a strong solution Of ordinary
I've; or if the use of a solution is not
desirable it can be purchased at drug
stores in the form of sticks known as
caustic potash. This should be ap-
piled Immediately after birth to the
place where the horn makes it's APP
pearance. Care should be exercised
when using this remedy because the
I've will eat away ali the skin with
which it comes in contact.
Various kinds of instruments are
used for the removal of the horns Of
older animals. If an ordinary saw is
used it should be sharp and fine, as
this lessons the danger of splintering
the bones of the head during the oper-
alton. If large number of animals
are dehorned, quicker and safer work
can be done with a "dehorning in
strument" This can be purchased
of any veterinary supply company for
$3.50 to SO.
1t is best not to dehorn during the
fly season. Sometimes the horn is
cut close to the head and cavities are
opened which become filed with mag
gots IL flies are prevalent. The ami
NAL suffers intensely, If this happens,
and there is a rapid loss in condition.
IL cavities are accidentally exposed
a small piece of cotton, smeared with
tar, may be applied to the wound and
held in place by means of a bandage
around the head This also is of great
value If excessive bleeding follows the
operation. If maggots gain entrance
to the cavities of the head they should
be washed out with a weak. watery
solution of ordinary dip.

taking the silage to the stock. The
cart can be left beneath the silo
chute and filled from above without
reshoveling the silage. Loose silage
weighs about 1875 pounds per cubic
foot and this should be given con-
sideration when building a cart for
a definite capacity.
More often than otherwise the silo
stands either in or adjacent to the
feed yard, in which case there is very
seldom a smooth way from silo to
hunks. An overhead feed carrier is
then generally advisable This de-
ponds upon the number of stock to be
fed. Such a carrier may easily be ar
ranged. If the yards are small a
swing track may be attached to the
silo and the silage distributed to sew
eral feed hunks.
When several carloads of stock are
being fed silage, the most convenient
scheme is to throw the feed into a
wagon and distribute it to the feed
hunks with a team.

be used in pit and semipit silos.
Where the pit is more than ten feet
deep, hand hoists and power hoists
are being used for this purpose. The
simplest hoist is that of the bucket
raised hand over hand, but this re-
quires one person in the pit and an
other above ground. A better scheme
and one which is practical where the
silo is located in the barn between the
managers, is to obtain several baskets
and equip them with stiff balls, then
use them as follows: Fill the baskets
and place them in the silo convenient
for raising, climb out of the silo, and
by means of hook on a rope, hook
a basket of silage to it and hoist it
out. After the basket is emptied,
drop it back into the silo, release the
hook, and hook another basket.
A homemade hosting device for
semipit silos and which can be adapted
to pit silos as well, consists of three
inch pipe carrying a wooden wheel and
two drums. An old milk can filled
with scrap iron is used as a counter
weight. 1t should be slightly lighter
than the weight Of the cart and the
silage.
A horsepower hosting device is
easily used for silos entirely below
ground. These silos have an opening

(By e. M. RANCK.)

(By E. M. RANCk.)
To be a 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 a 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
will do more toward keeping hogs
healthy than any other one thing
The hog has peculiar skin, and under
the skin is thick pad of fat, SO 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 it. He prefers good, clean wa
ter but if he cannot find that, mud Is
the best substitute. Shade is very co
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 they are
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-
ters 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.
1t sometimes becomes necessary to
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1915-02-12

feed pigs separate from the sows,
even when nursing. This can be done
by building near the colony house
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
in hog raising. A poor fence will pro-
duce a breachy hog as quickly as it
will fence-breaking COW. We prefer
any strong close woven-wire fence at
least SO inches high for the outside
fence In smaller lots either woven
wire or wooden fences temporarily
placed will be cheaper and can be used
a number Of times. Temporary fences
need not be over three feet high anc
should be so constructed that they can
be carefully stored when not in use.
Woven wire used as temporary fence
is very difficult to stretch after 1t has
been used several times, although it
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
strips so that the temporary fences
can be placed across the narrow part
of the field. 1t is also an advantage
to arrange the crops so that one Sec
ton is in such alignment with the
other sections that the cultivation
may be done without turning at the
end of each section, and when the
crops are laid by the temporary fence
can separate one crop from another.
When plans are made to establish
hog pastures one must not forget the
very important factor of providing
