PIG-CLUB PROFITS
Experience OF Four Boys Raising
Prize POrkerS.

Four brothers near Macon, Ga,
Joined the ham-and- bacon project of
the pig club. This meant raising,
fattening and slaughtering a grade
pig. Each brother purchased a pig,
and all started together in the race
to produce the best pig most profit
ably.
The pigs were weighed at intervals,
kept free of lice, and fed regularly
and well. The boys wanted cheap
gains, so several times a week they
drove an old mule to town, sold veg
etables they had raised, and brought
back the kitchen wastes of the towns
people. These wastes were cooked
and fed to the pigs. A little bran and
corn and green feed were fed. In the
fall the pigs were turned into field
planted in corn and cowpeas. AS the
pigs were handled and fed under
identical conditions, the race was al
ways close.
Calamity overlook one OF the boys
in the sixth month. His pig died. The
others continued to grow. They were
shown at the district show and the
state fair The race continued to be
close, with not more than 20 pounds
difference in their weights.
Strengthening time arrived. The
boys killed their hogs, which dressed
500 pounds. They were made up in
to old-fashioned country sausage,
souse, lard, cracklings, and fresh cuts
of pork The products from the first
sold for $39.40; from the second for
SAILS, and from the third $45.25,
making a total of $125.80. All the
boys made a substantial profit, the
gains being put on the pigs at 2.S
and 2.1c, and 3 cents per pound, res
pectively. The total cost of pigs and
feed was S45, leaving a net profit of
SS0.SO on the three hogs. A neigh
Dor who had started to feed his two
pigs at the same time as the boys did,
sold them for S43.40. By the use Of
wastes and green feed, the boys put
gains on their hogs at about half the
cost of gains made under the feeding
methods usually practiced in their reg
ion.
Encouraged by the results of their
first pig-feeding enterprise, the boys
intend purchasing a start toward a
herd of purebred hogs. They have
found profits in feeding grade hogs
on a small scale. They are now go
ing to raise purebreds on a larger
scale.

ON THE PREVENTION
OF MILK fever IN COWS
Disease Attacks Only Animals
of Improved Breeds.
Victims Seldom Affected Until They
Have Reached Full Maturity
Or Most Productive Period.

Milk fever, also known as partur-
lent apoplery, not only is peculiar to
the COW but attacks only COWS Of the
improved breeds, and of deep milking
strains. 1t usually affects COWS that
have been developed in the direction
of early maturity, rapid fattening, or
a heavy production Of milk. The vic
Tins are not always rat when attack
ed, but they are COWS with great pow
ers of digestion and which have been
fed heavily previous to the onset of
the disease. Cows are seldom affect
ed until they have reached full matur-
ity and are at the most productive
period of their lives-that is, from 5
to years of age.
In heavy-milking COWS all the food
eaten in excess of that required to
make up for the normal waste of the
system is turned into milk. When the
flow of milk ceases, if the animal is
fed heavily, the excess of nutriment
from the food has no avenue of es
cape, and is consequently stored up
in the glands and in the blood, caus-
plethoric, or affected by excessive nu-
triton. After the delivery of the calf,
the blood which has been supplying
the fetus is suddenly turned into the
circulation of the mother, and if she
does not begin the secretion of milk
promptly the plethora of her blood
rapidly increases.
Symptoms of Disease.
The disease usually manifests itself
within two days after the birth of the
calf, although in rare instances the
COW becomes affected prior to calving
Great uneasiness is one of the first
noticeable symptoms. The cow steps
about restlessly and refuses to eat or
drink. She may soon begin to show
signs of abdominal pain. Paralysis
begins to be manifested within a few
hours, being indicated by staggering
gait. The patient now becomes quiet
er, rapidly weakens, and finally gets
down and is unable to rise. The head
is drawn around to one side, usually
the left, producing an attitude that is
not often seen in any other disease
The animal soon becomes quite un-
conscious.
The temperature, at first, elevated,
tends to become lower as stupor and
coma progress. The bowels may be-
come torpid or completely paralyzed,
and unless Improvement is brought
about they are not likely to operate
again The bladder too is DaralZed
and fails to expel it's contents. Ac-
ton of either bowels or bladder or
both, is always a favorable symptom.
The torpor of the digestive organs
nearly always causes grave disorders;
the paunch becomes the seat of fer
mentation, producing gas and exces-
sive bloating. There are frequent
belchings of gas or feed, which, reach
ing the paralyzed throat, pass in part

THE VALUE OF MANURE.

Estimates of the value of stable man
ure on the farm indicate that in east
ern Pennsylvania the manure pro-
duced by one adult COW nets the farm
er on an average $3.50 per year,
while in southern Michigan the man
ure of one such animal nets the farm
er 1922.

HORSE RAISING IN MICHIGAN.

A survey of 300 farms in Lenawee
county, Mich, indicates that the farm
e. of southern Michigan keeps a
horse on an average Of S.5 years and
sells him for $1S.68 less than he cost.
Similar studies conducted in eastern
Pennsylvania indicate that the farm
er of that district keeps a horse on
an average of 12.1 years and sells him
for $29.34 less than he cost.

AVERAGE INCOMES OF OWNER
AND OF THE FARM RENTER

The average farm income of 378
owners of farms in prosperous sec
ton of eastern Pennsylvania was found
to be S1,313, as against $1,617 for 124
farmers of the same district who were
living on rented farms. In this Sec
ton the tenant farms average larger
than the owner farms.

Method of Treatment.

1t is a good practice to give dose
Of purgative medicine if the air treat
ment, to be recommended later, is
not available. Epson salts 2 pounds,
carbonate of ammonia IL ounce, nuX
vomica u dram, is a good preparation
to use at this juncture. The bowels
and bladder should be emptied, the
former by hand and the latter by the
use of a small rubber tube. Bags Of
ice may be applied to the head. Ben
eft is often derived from the admin
istration of 20 drops of tincture of
acOnite every four hours. The appli-
cation Of water, as warm as it can be
borne by the hand, to the back and
lOins acts by removing the blood pres
sure from the vital organs.
In view of the great superiority of
the initiation of the udder with at
mospheric air as a curative for milk
fever, medicinal treatment is seldom
attempted at the present time. By
former methods of treatment the loss
es were very great; but by the use
of the air treatment in skillful hands,
it is claimed that more than SO per
cent may be saved A large syringe
or injection pump is used Ga pump
for initiating bicycle tires serves the
purpose nicely. The whole apparatus
should be sterilized before it is used.
Boiling for 20 minutes will afford
suitable sterilization. The intake
opening is filled with sterilized cot
ton, while a milking tube is attached
to the delivering tube.
The teats of the COW should be
carefully washed and dried, after
which the milking tube on the pump
or syringe is inserted into each in
turn, while an assistant distends the
quarters of the udder with air, with
out continuing the process after the
udder is fully expanded. The tube is
now withdrawn and a broad tape is
tied around the free end of the teat
to prevent the escape of the air. The
tube should be disinfected by dipping
in a per cent solution of cresol COM
pound or carbolic acid after each APP
plication. Should no indications of
improvement be apparent at the end
of two hours, the udder should be in
fated again.
