Marketing Hogs.


In order to market to the best
advantage, either in carload lots on
the open market or in small droves
to the country shipper or to the local
packer, hogs ought to be made to
appear at their best. They should
be we'll bred so as to be of good form
and all be of the same size, conse-
auently should have been farrowed
as nearly as possible at the same
time. They ought to show as much
thrift, quality and finish as possible
and all be of the same color
The question of color is of greater
importance than is generally realized
A few white hogs in a big drove OF
black ones may, by their presence, de-
tract almost as much from the value
of the drove as they individually are
worth. In a drove of mixed color
differences in size are much more ap'
parant than in a drove of one color
If there is a small white hog in a
drove of black ones he will surely be
noticed, but If there is a small black
one in the same drove he may be
overlooked.
Hogs should be shipped so as to
reach the market in the morning In
time to be watered and fed before
the best part of the market is over
This time varies with prevailing con-
ditions, but is between Z and IL a. m
In order to have them at their best
on the market, the animals should
not be overfed and should not have
laxative feed before shipping. Care
must be taken also not to allow them
to drink too much water. 1t is better
to give them a moderate ration OF
dry feed before starting them to
market and give them some ear corn
in the car.
The car should be we'll bedded with
wheat straw in winter and with sand
in summer. Wheat straw is better
than oat straw for bedding in a car
in which hogs are to be shipped, as
the animals will not perspire so
much, which causes them to become
wet and steaming and detracts much
from their appearance. Sand in
summer is cooler than straw. When
arriving at the market the hogs
should be dry, lively and not too
gaunt.-Farmers Home Journal.

FOot-and-MOuth Over

The long fight against the foot-and
mouth disease is over. The Secre-
tary of Agriculture has issued an
order which on March 3 l removed all
foot-and-mouth guarantees and re-
strictions against the shipment and
movement of live stock. The order
signed specifically removes the quar-
antine from small territory in
Christian County, ILL.,, the last area
which was under suspicion. Along
with the removal of this local quar-
antine, the various Federal orders
restricting shipment of cattle are re-
scinded, so that dealers can now ship
their cattle as before the first quaran-
tine was imposed
Upon notification that the United
States is free from the disease, all
foreign governments which have
placed embargoes on American cattle
are expected to remove these embar-
goes, so that cattle raisers will then
be able to resume shipments to these
foreign countries.
The magnitude of the work of
eradication and control carried on
by farmers, shippers and the state
and federal governments is shown by
the fact that before controlled, the
disease had gained temporary foot
ing in % states and the District Of
Columbia. The disease appeared and
was controlled in 269 different coun-
ties.
The importance to the stockrais-
ing industry of eradicating foot-and-
mouth disease may be judged from
the results of this plague in Den
mark, where the disease appeared at
about the same time that it broke
out in the United States. The area
of Denmark is approximately equal
TO that of the three New England
states, Massachusetts, Connecticut
and Rode Island. II is, however, a
great dairy country, and it has been
estimated that the losses in milk N
one year caused by the foot-and-
mouth disease have amounted to ap-
proximately one-third of the total
cost OF graduating the pestilence in
22 states of this country. The Danish
authorities were unable to carry out
their former policy of slaughter, and
were compelled TO resort to such
measures of control as could be es-
tablished by guarantees and other
restrictions.
AS a result of a better understand
ing between the State and National
Governments. representatives OF the
departemnt believe that many of the
obstacles which confronted the au-

FARM DEPARTMENT
Din to Prevent scab

Sheep owners should continue for
some years to dip their flocks at least
once a year as a precaution against
sheep scab, according to specialists In
the department. During the past 10
years systematic efforts to eradicate
this disease have been so successful
that there is a tendency on the part
of many flock masters to believe that
all danger of loss from this cause is
at an end. This, however, in the
opinion of the department, is not the
case. 1t is true that the economic
losses from the disease at the present
time are insignificant, but scab has
not been completely eradicated, and
it is necessary for the protection of
the industry that dipping be continu-
ed for some time to come.
Common scab was formerly the
greatest drawback to the sheep in
dustry in the United States. 1t is,
however, easily controlled by regular
dipping in lime-sulphur or nicotine
and sulphur solutions. These are the
only preparations recognized by the
Bureau of Animal Industry for official
dipping. The dipping solutions are
not difficult to handle, and every
sheep owner is urged to make certain
by their use that sheep scab does not
gain a foothold in his flock. In the
cost of dipping, labor, fuel, and the
necessary materials are the principal
items. These vary with different
localities, but in the large sheepgrow-
ing sections of the West 1t has been
calculated that sheep may be dipped
for from to 31a per head.
Two clippings, from 10 to IA days
apart, are necessary in order to in
sure the complete destruction of all
the mites which cause the diease.
The first dipping should kill all those
that are Matched but may not des-
troy the eggs that have been laid in
the wool. These hatch in 10 days
and the mites which result will sue
cumb to the second dipping. In this
connection a new publication of the
department, Farmers Bulletin 713,
points out that it is loss of time and
money to dip sheep unless the work
is done properly, and any attempt to
encnomize time, labor, or money by
using the dip in weaker proportions
that recommended, or by hurrying
the bath, or by failing to dip all Of
the flock, may result in rendering
the whole operation useless.
