PRACTICAL LITTLE
HINTS ON HOG CARE
Muddy Pens Are Disagreeable to
Administrative Runts Atten-
tion-Give Pigs Charcoal.
(By w. D. NEALL, Colorado)

(By w. d. NEALL, Colorado.)
Birds, dogs or men may carry hog
cholera from one farm to another.
Burning the hog that has died of
some disease is the only sure method
of preventing contagion.
The hog that has been allowed to
sleep in the old straw stack will soon
cough his health away.
Hogs Of all ages and sizes do not
thrive when allowed to pile up to-
gether.
Muddy pens are disagreeable to the
hogs. Watch the hog pick the ear OF
corn out Of the mud and seek a dry
place to eat it and you will be fully
convinced of this fact.
1t pays to separate the runts from
the herd and give them special atten-
ton. By this method you make them
profitable hogs.
Stops should not be carried from the
kitchen to the hogpen if the good
housewife uses all kinds of wash pow
ders in the dish water, for many of
them are poisonous.
Pure skim milk is good for the
growing pigs. Put little bran with
it and it will be the richer. Do not
give much sour milk to very young
pigs for fear of the scours.
The dog that "wools" the ears OF
the hogs or tears their hams should
be kept away from the herd even ii
the hogs do get through the fence
into the cornfield or meadow.
Keep charcoal, salt and ashes be-
fore the pigs all the time, and it will
mean death to worms or bowel trou-
BILE.
Put a teaspoonful of soda in the
sow's slop, and it will be beneficial
to the pigs afflicted with the scours.
Pigs look good in field of alfalfa.
clover or rape, and best of all they do
well while running there.
The pig that is weared will squeal
around a good deal. The only way
to shut off his squeal is to fill his
stomach with food.
Kick the pigs away from the straw
stack. Don't let them sleep there. The
straw rick is good place to contract
the cholera.

Proper grading is necessary in order
to get the best prices from mary
crops. This is especially true of ap-
pies and other products that sell On

lot will lower the selling price to that
of the poor apples. Better sell No. L

the country and Florida shares Ill
this general prosperity. The figures
given are taken from the reports
under the call of September, 1916,
