ANIMAL HOSPITALS ON FARMS
Quarantine Place Should BE Clean and
> comfortable-ManyY Young Pigs or g.
Calves Can BE Saved. s

Every farm should have an animal
hospital, where really sick animals
can be cared for and nursed back to
health and where those suspected or
having some disease or any of color"
in any way may. be put away from the
balance of the herds and flocks. = r..
There are many reasons for having
such a place., First, there is the. con-
troll and check Of contagious diseases
that might be accomplished by
promptly isolating the first prospect
and, taking vigorous preventive meas
ures with the balance. Thus many
young pigs or calves that get "a bit of
feed" continue to decline If kept with
the balance of the herd because OF
their inability to rustic their share
with their healthy. husky mates. II
such are put by themselves and given
special care and food, for few days
they are soon back to normal and go
on without Nserious setback. - : :ss
This quarantine place should be a
shed or building that is light, clean
and comfortable, and one that can be
thoroughly disinfected. 1t should be
apart from other buildings and so. sit
uated that animals other than those
quarantinled cannot have access to It.
The control of one outbreak OF dis
ease. or the added gains on few
young animals will pay for such a
building. e., - p ~ss*,. .... .5,-.

PROFIT ABLE HOG FEED
Swine Raising Is Most Important
Branch Of Farming.
Feeding Facilities and Available Feeds
on the Farm Must Be Taken
X Into Account-Blue Grass 10
( ~ :, Satisfactory Pasture.
fRv T. a FIJI,LER.)

- ~ (By ]. G. FuLLER)
Forage crops constitute a most I'M
portant part of the food supply for
swine. Since there is. little or no
profit In feeding hogs on grain alone,
the swine raiser should arrange to
develop his market animals as much
as possible on dairy and farm prod
ucts and forage crops, leaving the
heavy grain feeding for the fattening
and finishing period Most forage
crops are suited to swine feeding, and
in proper condition and stage of
growth provide at least a mainten-
ance ration. --
Native blue grass is a satisfactory
pasture for the spring and early sum-
mer months or, before it becomes dry
and ceases to grow. BY the middle Of
July this forage ! is of little value in
many sections, as it is, too dry, and
from then until the fall rains begin
to revive it again. should be supple
mented with rape or other of the for
age crops that can be grown for swine:
However, it does furnish the first
green feed in the spring and is always
relished. % ssG.: -. .Ey.:.. -. Is
:, Rape has proved a valuable forage
for swine. The animals are kept on
blue grass until this gets too dry, and
are then turned into a field of rape.

told that the kaiser has his special
doubles, made up in his image and
likeness, and dressed in understudies
of his uniforms, SO that the enemy
may try his powder on the dog. They
have adopted the method in England,
as when there were two Richmonds'

best the splendid vanity of Nelson,
who insisted on going into the fight
in full uniform and with his orders on
his breast. 1t was-for that reason
his last fight. Most Of us in prac'

About fifty. miles west OF Wetaski-
win there is a partially timbered dis
trict lying between Buck Lake and
Pigeon Lake. All this land Is ready
for homesteading, and Judging from 4
letter received by resident there,
this would seem to be an ideal place
for a farmer who desired such sur
roundings. This settler lives on the
shore Of Buck Lake, his land is willow
brush, which is easy to clear. Some
of the lumber is good saw timber,
and lots of good logs for buildings can
be had, as well as rails for fencing.
For wheat growing the soil is excel
lent. Water Is easily secured, fishing
is good and plentiful and game Is any
thing but scarce. The settlers are
mostly from the United States and
