EXCESSIVE HEAT HURTS HOGS
More Easily Thrown of Feed Than
Any Other AnImaI-corstipation
One Of Effects.

One of the effects of hot weather is
10 cause constipation In hogs. The ex-
oessive heat seems to throw the hog
of feed more easily than 1t does other
animals. A laxative feed is the natur-
as preventive, but the whole environ
ment must be right to protect hogs
from this. A change of feed, particu-
larly change from a light to a heay-
Ter and drier feed, is most likely to
cause constipation. Pregnant sows
are troubled more from II than are
other classes of hogs. The practice Of
ooufning them before narrowing time
has much to do with II and may result
In serious loss as they have trouble in
narrowing when constipated. Two TO
fear ounces OF raw llnseed oil fed daily
with the feed is an effective treatment
after the trouble sets in. Lots of exer-
else on field covered with Juicy grass
is an effective method OF keeping the
trouble away.

ASTHENIA IN POULTRY FLOCK
Not Much Use in Trying to Save Fowl
Affected With Disease-lt
Should BE Killed.

Asthenia is the disease commonly
known as "going light" and is caused
by almost any condition which tends
towards the wasting Of the muscles.
especially tuberculosis and worms.
says writer In an exchange. Avoid
this disease by providing clean, dry,
well-ventllated houses; a grass run
for the birds, and no moldy grain or
litter for them to get into. The af--
fected birds should be killed and
burned. There is not much use in
trying to cure bird that has adj
vanced far enough In the disease to-
be detected.
The danger of such diseases Is thar
the condition of the bird In the first
stages is not known unless she Is
handled and her weight noted. A dis
eased bird that fiuffs out its feathers,
as many do, is hidden menace TO the
flock. There is apparently less dis
ease proportiOnately in small flock.
than In a large one.
We believe the reason for this Is
that the individual birds are known in
small flock, and their condition
readily ascertained, while in urge
flock sick bird may not be detected
until 1t has reached the last stages.

HENS MUST BE COMFORTABLE
Ample Shade Must BE Provided fec.
Fowls During Hot Weather as
Well as Proper Food

Those who neglect to provide shade
for their hens during the trying sum-
mer months are likely to regret It.
The fowls must have comfort as wslR
as food.
II the yard has no shade II win
pay to provide IL even though II takes
some time and labor.
Shade is regarded as one Of the ifHA-
portant items In the care Of the flock
for the summer. When the hot days
come on many poultry breeders trrRs-
fer the hens and young chickens %
the orchard or TO woodlot. Where
shade Is not available a temporary
structure six by ten feet square and
four feet high is erected; this Is Gov
cred with burlap or canvas. An ideal
place for young fowls is near the
edge Of a cornfeld where they can
have shade, scratching places and can
find many insects.

processes. While direct methods may
often be effective, the most successful
will be those having TO do with the
conditions Of agriculture and the meth
DDS of tillage and Increase the pro-
ductiveness Of the sOil.
Weeds grow where they can find
rOem to grow. Some crops then per-
min certain weeds 10 grow with them,
while another weed may find congen-
ial conditions with another crop. Thus
cOckle and cheat have grown with
wheat perhaps as Gong as wheat has
been cultivated.
Purslane and ptgweeds are always
Sound in gardens, thistles and mulleins
On pastures, whitetop in meadows.
II the pea vine, horse nettle, crab
grass, foxtail, ragweed, etc, become
serious in the cornfeld, sow 1t down
to grass, one crop in the rotation de-
.stroying these weeds gaining a foot
hold with the preceding crop. Thor
'Ough cropping OF the land and judi
cious systematic rotation of the crops,
are conditions against which no weeds
can stand; and, inasmuch as these are
all vital conditions Of successful agri-
culture, 1t may be said that weeds are
never serious when the land is well
farmed.
. Purslane was cultivated for green's
in Massachusetts and later taken to
Michigan, where dit was grown for the
isame purpose. Wild carrot, morning
glory, poppy and others have escaped
