SOLID FOUNDATION
FOR RAISING HOGS
Lot Should Be Changed Every
Two or Three Years to In
sure Proper Sanitation.

Cholera, parasites and pneumonia
are some Of the worst troubles hog
breeders have to fight this time Of
year. The parasites, or worms as
they are called, commonly, are always
with the hogs, more or less. II will
be impossible to eradicate cholera
from the swine industry, according to
DR.. F. S. Schoenleber, state veterjn-
Arian of Kansas, before the breeders
will be able to rid their stock of para
sites. Pneumonia may be prevented
by keeping the hogs from taking cold.
Hogs are kept for years on the same
lot generation after generation
until the soil becomes satu-
rated with the different parasites and
their eggs. With such surroundings a
hog is certain to be affected. The ami
mails look scrawny and cholera is
blamed for their condition
Sanitation is the foundation Of suc-
cessful hog raising. A hog lot should
be plowed frequently, and thoroughly
disinfected. Every two or three years
the lot should be changed to a new To-
cation. A hog isn't dirty in its habits.
If given half chance it will keep
clean.
One thing few persons know about
hog: 1t requires twice the breathing
space for its weight ar a horse or
COW. A hog can stand only half the
exposure. It's fat may seem hhe a
blanket, but the blood is the heat OF
all animals. A hog gets chilled easily
because of the poor surface circula-
ton. contracts pneumonia, dies and
cholera is credited with another VIC
tim.
A simple remedy for worms is q
mixture of wood ashes, salt, and air
slaked lime, mixed about equal parts.
1t won't do the hogs an injury If al
lowed to eat all they wish This mix
ture will help also to tone the system.

It is a mistake to overfeed ewes

Also it is not best TO allow the breed

There is another point il the han
