TAKE GOOD CARE OF PIGLETS
Necessary That Young Animals Have
Plenty of Exercise-Keep~ Them
Out of Cold Rain.

1t is very necessary that the little
pigs have plenty of exercise and all
the sunlight that can be given them.
Do not allow the pigs to run out dur.
ing a cold rain. If possible, provid,
green feed or roots. These keep the
sow healthy and cheaper the ration.
Encourage the pigs to eat grain after
they are three or four weeks old.
Build a creep for them so they can
feed alone. At this age feed for bone
and muscle. Give them all the skim
milk you can. If skim milk is not
available, give them some meal and
plenty of pasture. In about eight OF
ten weeks the pigs will have practical
ly weaned themselves. After they
have been successfully weaned the
most perplexing job is over.

HARD WORK ON THE FARM
Many Middle-Aged Men VIII Remen-
Der the TrlbuIations Consequent
on "Haying" Time.

July was once a period dreaded By
the American country boy, as the time
of "haying." To be sure it was re-
lieved by the turbulent and explosive
joys of July 4. But every other day,
often in the concentrated hours Of
the national birthday, he was driven
to the bayfield, with rake and fork.
How his heart rebelled against the
humdrum toll
By one Of the mysterious dispensa-
lions of Providence, the smallest boys
were put to work in the most exhaust
ing post. While the older men were
down on the barn floor where the cool
breezes swept in from the wide open
doors, it was the function Of the boys
to receive the hay under the caves
of the structure and push and trample
1t down in the smallest possible COM
pass. Only by much treading could
the dried grasses be compressed into
a reasonable space.
It was q perfect inferno Of heat,
Tile ulI ullCu Will NllOhlA6 uooSt eAAS
NOW baking from the sun beating on
the roof. With no particle Of breath
from out Of doors it was like the fur
mace where walked Shadrach, Meshach
and Abednego of old Bible times.
The men down below seemed pos
itively to gain satisfaction from
covering them up with fast coming
forkfuls of the dusty hay.
Still there were certain alterations.
The can of iced water sweetened with
New Orleans molasses and spiced with
ginger from the pantry Is still re-
called. Also at the close there was
an Elysian dip in the swimming hole.
Today the youth may swing In the
hammock with the summer boarders,
while Polish and Swedish farm hands
perform these tasks for which their
physique is ample, greatly Hghtened
by modern machinery. But certain
habits Of toilsome industry that gained
their hold in the fathers soul from
the regular performance of such hard
labor may be lacking in the son.

CAUSES FOR SCOURS IN PIGS
Quarters and Troughs Should Be Kept
Clean to Prevent Trouble From
This Source.

Scours in pigs is symptom of in
digestion and is usually caused by too
much feed, changing the feed of the
SOW, dirty pens or chilling the sow in
cold rains or winds. The quarters and
troughs should be kept clean with
plenty of sunlight and good ventilation
to prevent trouble from this source.
If scours should appear in pigs in
spite Of all precautions, the following
treatment is recommended by the Mis-
souri, agricultural experiment station !:
Clean up more thoroughly than before,
reduce the sow's feed and give table
spoonful of sulphur in each feed for
several days. 1t is also well to give
the SOW q good dose Of epson salts. If
practicable, each pig may be given a
teaspoonful Of castor oil or epson
salts. Charcoal also should be pro-
vided.

and were in q good healthy growing
condition when turned out to pasture
in the spring.
When three years old these colts
were worth $3.50 to $500 each. Colts
of the same age and from the same
mares, but kept on the farm and CIV
en- the usual farm treatment were
worth only SIPS to S140 each. Thus
q difference in value of $125 to $3.50
was due to no other reason than the
care given to the horses as colts.
"The horse is made the first is
months of his life" says DR.. G. w.
McCampbell, assistant professor of
animal husbandry in the Kansas state
agricultural college. IF he is stunt
ed he never reaches his maximum de
velopment.
"Too often colts are turned out to
rustic for themselves the first win
ter and all such colts can do is to
keep alive Their growth is stunted
and they make a small ordinary type
of horse"

BEST QUALITY IS ESSENTIAL
Margin of Profit Worth Considering in
Peach Business-Thinning Is
Important Factor.

Peach profits are greatly reduced
by the cost Of picking and packing
and marketing. 1t Is the best quality
of fruit that brings the profit and
there is really very small chance to
make a profit on any other kind of
peaches. 1t costs more to pack basket
of small fruit than it does basket Of
large specimens as there are more to
handle. The same thing applies to
picking. The package costs the same
regardless of the quality of the fruit.
There is no difference in the shipping
cost Of basket of culls and basket
of fancy fruit. 1t follows that it is the
margin of profit which is worth con-
sidering in the peach business the same
as in any other business. 1t is not
the Gull that pays and thinning is the
most important factor in eliminating
the Gull peach.

LAND RESTED AND IMPROVED
Old Notion About Crop of Timothy Is
Erroneous-PIant Food Is Taken
More Slowly.

1t Is an old notion that land seeded
to timothy, even though the crop be
removed, is being rested and improved.
This, however, is not true in any other
sense than that horse that has been
driven rapidly may be considered as
being rested by being driven more
slowly. That is to say, timothy re-
moves the plant food from the soil
more slowly than does corn or wheat
because smallec amount of plant food
is required to make the crop.

INTENSIVE METHODS ON FARM
Quarts to Acre-Maximum
Placed at 10000.

Just to show the difference between
an average crop and what may be
grown under intensive methods. it is
stated that the average crop of straw
berries is LOO quarts to the acre,
while the maximum record of produc-
ton is 10000 quarts. While this vari-
alton is probably much greater than
that generally found in other crops, yet
no doubt the proportion is not very far
from correct in its application to most
farm crops, as well as fruit.

MAKING HOG CHOLERA SERUM
Object of Treatment Is to Stimulate
Production of Antibodies In Ami
mails System.

Serum is blood taken from a healthy
hog which has received special treat
ments consisting Of injecting large
quantities of virus or hog cholera
blood directly into it's veins or circu-
lation.
The object of this treatment is to
stimulate the production of antibodies
or immune bodies. A hog that is made
immune to hog cholera by the use OF
serum has a sufficient quantity of an
tibodies to protect itself, but has not
enough to protect others, consequent
ly, we must create an excess of anti
bodies in it's system, which is done as
described above.

Give the colts a chance! No colt
can develop into large useful horse
if he is stunted in his early growth.
The result of good care and feeding
is forcefully shown by the condition
Of the young work horses Of the ami

horses were purchased three years
