I am again calling your attention
to the care of hogs. / have been sew
eral times called out to canine sick
hogs, and the last case was on last
Saturday morning In this case the
party had his hogs vaccinated late
last fall, as they had been examined
and the trouble was pronounced hog
cholera. When / arrived at.the place
the party told me that he had lost
eleven head, and all had died with
the same disease. He had two that
had survived the trouble, and we're
still weak and did not move around
much. One hog had died the night
before went out. cut this hog
open and made a thorough examina-
tion, but found no trace of cholera.
did find, however, that the hog had
died of the most severe case of pneu-
monia that 1 had ever seen indica-
tions Of The lungs had closed up
entirely on both sides; the heart
looked as though Il had been partly
cooked. The hog had wonderful vi
tality, or it could not have lived as
long as it did.
The best remedy for this trouble
is to provide good, clean, dry sheds
and beds, away from the barn and
manure beds. When a hog is once
taken with pneumonia he is hard to
cure, as the disease gets under too
much headwey before the trouble is
noticed.
Remember. hog is made Of flesh,
and flesh is heir to all manner OF di-
sease, and 1t depends on how flesh
is taken care of as to how much trou-
BILE it will stand before giving way
to diseases.
A hog Is not the filthy animal most
people have been raised to believe.
Generally he is filthy only because
he is compelled to be so. His pro-
prlotor shafts him up in cold. wet
rem. throws feed over to him. saying
to himself, "He is a hog,and that is
good enough for hog"
Is It any wonder that the hog died
with cholera, pneumonia, rheuma-
tism, or some other serious malady?
Study these questions, farmers; and
then ask yourself how you would
like to be penned up that way.
Yours for the better care of hogs,
L. H. FASH,
Duiant, Oklahoma

KEEPING TAB ON YOUR RESULTS

1t is now recognized as necessary to
keep records of the cows to deter
mine the profitable animals of the
herd. The same is true with hens.
In every flock there are likely to be
some high producers and also some
low producers. The only way to find
the hens that lay large number of
eggs is to keep record of their lay
ing by trap-nesting This will require
some time and a little trouble, but it
is the only way to breed up a flock
for high production. = Farm and
Ranch.

Persons who predict that the pres
ent prosperity in the industries Of the
country is wholly temporary, and will
fade when war orders cease, should
turn their attention to the aims and
purposes of the French industrial
commission now visiting this coun-
try. The primary object of the visit
is to study American manufacturing
methods and business organization.
This fact is a tacit admission of SUI
periority that European nations re-
alize they must emulate If they would
succeed in their Industrial restora-
ton after the war. But the signifi-
cant thing about the visit of the COM
mission is the announcement Of the

California has a court composed
entirely OF women. This is probably
the first of its kind in the United
States. The cases which this court
will consider will be those affecting
children. The Judge. the clerk, the
bailiff, and the reporter. are all wo-
men. 1t seems so very reasonable
that the misdemeanors of children
should be the province of a woman's
court. 1t is generally recognized that
children are the natural care OF wo-
men, and an over-fathered court is
probably worse, possibly. than an ov-
eT-fathered home.
