BEST PLAN TO KEEP
FALL PIGS GROWING
Large Hogs Should Be Marketed
Soon as in Fit Condition
for the Market.

1t is not good practice to leave small
pigs with the larger ones now. The
small ones will become stunted by be-
ing crowded away from feeding troughs
and much loss will be incurred. If the
larger hogs are fit for market 1t will
not pay to feed them longer. They
should be sold as soon as fit, but not
day sooner. There is time when hogs
are atta maximum of efficiency regard
ing profit. And it pays to keep the fall
pigs growing. The more growth before
hard winter weather the more profit
able will be the development,
Comfortable quarters will promote
the desired growth and also plenty of
exercise should be given. Charcoal
ashes, sulphur and salt should be kept
in every feeding yard.
The breeder of hogs should be wide
awake. There are many apparently
small items in the management that
are liable to be overlooked. See that
the animals are clean and free from
lice. A lousy hog is hard to fatten and
Is never a money maker.

fourth, fifth and possibly sixth calf,
and it is a good plan to try to purchase
COWS at the beginning Of this period
and sell them towards the end of it.
Unfortunately, the other fellow has the
advantage of milking the cows first,
and if he is an intelligent person, he
will not sell anything but the inferior
mixers. On this account it is often
necessary to raise ones heifers and
test them out for ones self.
Good purebred cows are always re-
tanned in the herd as long as they
prove satisfactory breeders. On the
other hand ordinary or inferior pure
bred cows should be disposed Of when
they are about eleven or twelve years
old, for after this time they are not
rs regular breeders and it is just pos
sible that calves from old cows are not
as good as those from cows in their
prime of life. In q well-managed herd
one can have the cows to average a
calf at twelve or thirteen months, If
only good vigorous animals q IRE

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Many farmers are coming to recOg-
nize that wooden SilOS, the most COM
mon type of preservers of succulent
farm feeds, must themselves be pre-
served. Untreated wooden Silos, even
when built of such durable material
as heart cypress or redwood, are sub
ject to more or less rotting, especially
near the foundation where moist con-
ditionS are favorable for the develop
ment Of the fungus of decay.
That the wooden silO is popular is
shown by the fact that, In 1913 alone,
about 10O,00O,000 board feet of high
grade lumber was used in silo con-
structiOn, while later statistics indi-
cate that the consumption of lumber
for this purpose is steadily increasing.
The Importance of some kind of pre-
seryative treatment to prevent decay
in wooden silos, therefore, has be-
come generally recognized. Several
manufacturers of wood-stave silos are
now making use of preservatives so
that it is possible to purchase the silo
material already treated.
OF the various preServativeS in gen.
eral Use, a good grade of coal-tar creo-
sote is very satisfactory for preserv-
ing timber. Almost any thorough
method of treatment with this preserv-
tive ought to add to the life of the
silO.' Superficial methods, however,
such as applying with a brush, dip
ping in the preservative, or spraying
are net sufficient. By far the best
method is to have the slaves treated
with the preServative in closed retort
under pressure, and when so treated
they should last indefinitely and
should be more satisfactory to the pur-
chaser.
Those who are considering the pur-
chase of treated silos should investi-
gate carefully the methods used, and
if greatest permanence is desired
should choose only material that has
received a thorOugh-pressure treat
ment. Silos built Of such material
have the additional advantage Of re-
ductioa in the swelling and shrinking
of the slaves, and, hence, they can be
kept tight more easily. Another ad-
vantage Of silos built Of well-treated
wood is that they need not be painted.
Effect Of Preservative Treatment.
To determine the effect of q preserv-
ative treatment upon the durability of
wood used in silos, and to obtain in

BEST SPEED FOR SEPARAToRs
Appalling Loss Of Cream Due to Uni.
VersaI Tendency of Operator to
Work Machine Slowly.

& At Purdue university the experiment
station collected and published lot
of data showing the appalling loss in
cream due to the universal tendency Of
separator operators to turn the ma
chine too slowly. Their bulletin No. 116,
volume 13, was a revelation to many,
many dairymen, who had been losing
anywhere up to, 500 per year worth OF
butterfat, simply by turning their sepa-
rators below speed.
At the fairs recently, a leading
speedometer manufacturer had thou
sands of tests run to get further proofs
positive that a great majority of cp-
orators turn their machines below
speed. Over 80 per cent of the, dairy
men turned their machines too slowly.
And majority turned them so far be-
low speed that they were losing
pounds and pounds of butterfat every
week.

Kidney Disorder
CBY DIR. v. N. P1ERCE.)

The most simple methods are usu-
ally the most effective ones when
treating any disorder of the human
system. The mere drinking a cup
Of hot water each morning, plenty
Of pure water all day, and a little
Anuric before every meal has been
found the most effective means of
overcoming kidney trouble. Death
would occur if the kidneys did not
work day and night in separating
pOisOns and uric acid from the blood.
The danger signals are backache,
depresSiOns, pains, heaviness, drowsi-
ness, irrltability, headaches, chilli
ness, rheumatic twinges, swollen
joints or gOut.
Since it is such a simple matter to
step into your favorite drug store and
obtain Anuric, anyone who earnestly
desires to regain health and new life
will waste no time in beginning this
treatment.
