Some weeks ago I was stricken with
acute appendicitis and my physical

my mother fearing the result of an
operation, on account of my delicate
health, applied hot applications Of
Denver Mud. I had Immediate relief,
was saved from an operation, and

since. So, whenever I hear of anyone
having appendicitis I suggest using
Denver Mud before an operation,

Hogs to Prevent Disease.

Sanitary conditions tend towards
general thrift among hogs. 1t pays

roundings clean, points out Ray Gate

in the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege.
prevention is always the cheapest
and easiest manner in which to deal
with disease" said Mr.. Gatewood.
'The houses should be kept clean. dry.
and free from dust. In case the
house becomes foul 1t should be clean
ed, disinfected and small amount of
lime scattered about the floor. It is
also good practice to whitewash the
walls frequently.
1.-THE lots should be kept clean. Cobs
should be burned and the ashes and
charcoal given the hogs. The pens
should be kept free from manure and.
when possible, 1t is good practice
to move the hogs to new soil. This
helps to keep them in a more health
full condition.

BETTER CARE SHOULD

Animal Must Be Looked Upon as
Chief Source of Power Re-

Better care should be taken of work
horses In order to aid in the effort for
Increased crop production, believes DIR.
G. w. McCampbell, associate professor
Of animal husbandry In the Kansas
State Agricultural college. Horses must
furnish the greatest part of the power
required on many farms.
'The tractor, of course. has Its part
to play. but statistics show that there
nre more than $1,000 acres of culti-
vnted land in Kansas for every tractor
In use." said Doctor McCampbell.
"This should be evidence enough that
the horse must be looked to as the
chief source Of power on the farm. Be

more consideration and greater care

large as possible.

SELF-FEEDERS USED
FOR FATTENHVG PIGS
Most Economical Plan to Finish
off Porkers for Market
Much Waste Eliminated.

(By 1. w. CARPENTER. Mississippi A.
and NJ. College.)
1t is to the interest of farmers hav-
ing hogs to be finished, either for
market or butchering this winter, to
get them ready in the quickest and
most economical way, since the prices
of feedstuffs are so high. This can
best be done by putting the hogs on
a self-feeder with corn In one COM
partment and either tankage or cot
tonseed meal in the other. A self
feeder Is nothing more than hopper
which allows the feed to come down
as needed by the hogs. and at the
same time prevents waste. as 1t is
necessary for the feed already down
to be eaten away before any more
comes down. These feeders can be
made on almost any farm out Of scrap
lumber II necessary.
Self-feeders pay, even though there
are only n few hogs to be fed. They
have uniformly given better results
than hand feeding. both at the expert
ment station and on farms In Missis-
sippi. Hogs not only make larger
daily gains, but the same amount of
feed will make much more pork. This
evidently can be accounted for by
the fact that the hog was allowed to
eat at will, consequently never
gorged itself, thus enabling 1t to d.
gest its food more thoroughly.
For the greatest and most econom-
ical gains 1t is essential to have either
tnnkage or cottonseed meal In addi-
ton to corn. as this gives the needed
balanced ration. 1t will also harden
pork faster than corn alone. AS long
ms there Is corn In the self-feeder,
there is no danger Of the hogs eating
enough cottonseed meal to injure them.
In addition to the feeds in the self
feeder the hogs should be given plenty
of fresh water and dry quarters to
sleep in. as 1t is impossible for them
to do their best in filthy pen. Too,
the best quality of pork will not be
secured from hogs in filthy pens.

Mental Preparedness.

Children trained from the very
start to self-expression enter school
with invaluable mental preparedness
for the work to be done there. They
have a poise that keeps them from
being diffident in class. They are not
afraid to ask questions" declares a
prominent educator. "They know how
to tell what Is In their mind. In asso-
ciating with other children they get
more Joy from 1t because they know
how to make themselves understood.
Older people find them more charm
ing and interesting.
Effective training toward self-ex-
preston in the young child means that
characteristic of life, and there is no
training more effective than telling him
stories and teaching him how to tell
them.
Asking about child's doings will
encourage him to tell you about them.
For instance. when your little boy
comes home from a walk get him to
tell you all that he has seen while
out. When he comes In from play
get him to tell you all about the fun
he has been having.
always make him feel your vital
interest in his thoughts and actions"

roughage in the morning, only a small
night Little hay should be fed ut noon
as 1t is bulky and full stomach cuts
down efficiency. At the present war
prices oats are cheaper as grain
feed than corn, and good bright cotton
seed meal Is the most economical
source Of protein and the cheapest
supplementary feed to be had. A
maximum of about two pounds q day
of cottonseed meal is all that should
be fed and the horse should become
accustomed to 1t gradually. Begin with
one-fourth pound the first day. increas-
ing 1t quarter pound each day until
the right amount Is reached. None
but the best quality should be fed and
should contain not less than Al to 48
per cent protein"
A ration Of eight pounds of oats, two
pounds Of cottonseed meal, fifteen
pounds Of straw, and one pound of mo-
lasses day for each 1000 pounds live
weight Is given by Doctor McCamp-
bell as one Of the most economical to
feed under the present conditions and
high prices. The straw should be fed
in the morning and evening and the
molasses sprayed on 1t. This ration
has proved successful and has given
good results.
Another point often neglected with
the horse is that of watering. Water
Immediately after a meal washes the
feed from the stomach and thus de-
creases the value received from 1t by
the horse. The farmer should take a
barrel Of water to the field with him
and give his horses bucketful at least
once each half day.
Cut the grain ration down to one
half on Sundays and any other time
when the horse is not working. Full
feeding while not at work causes dis
orders and the disease known as aza-
turia or Monday morning sickness"
Feeding less while not at work is an
economical practice and much better
for the horse.

FINE BUNCH OF puaEsaEo HOGS ON EASTERN FARM.

(From the United States Department Of
Agrfculture.)
There is no advantage in skimping
the pig when 1t comes time to fatten
him, the United States department Of
agriculture points out. During the
growing period of his life. pastures
with little grain were In order. for
scale and constitution were the main
objects to be obtained. The last few
weeks before butchering the idea is to
lay on a good covering of fat, to In
crease the proportion of high-priced
lard. and to add tenderness and palat-
ability to the meat. A fat hog sells to
much better advantage on the market
for these very reasons.
To add this fat rapidly and most
economically, we must feed an abun-
dance OF grain. The self-feeder is sim
ply n device to keep before the pigs
constant supply of feed. In order that
they may eat of such feeds In such
quantities as they desire.
Results With Seif-Feeder.
A brief resume of results obtained
by experiments with over 275 hogs,
part of them settled and the balance
handled in the best possible manner,
shows:
/. That In comparison with the hand
fed pigs, the settled pigs ate grain 10
per cent more rapidly.

And last, that they consumed only 82
per cent as much grein in gaining 100
pounds.
This shows three very definite ad-
vantages in the use of the self-feede-.
Pigs fed In this manner will eat more
grain per day than under any other
method of feeding. This maximum
consumption is not wasteful OF grain |;
In fact 1t saves grain, for an increase
of 10 per cent in the rate of eating

ing is to put on fat MS rapidly and

method which will increase the rate
