filthy stables and manure piles, also
crowding the sows in close quarters
where they can pile up, causing them
to lose their litters.
Exercise promotes healthy body ac.
tlvities and as this is essential In
pregnant sows we must devise some
means of compelling them to exercise,
especially the last few weeks before
farrowing. Lack of exercise causes
internal fat to accumulate, causes con.
stpation and retards normal body ac-
tivities. We can best exercise our
sows by placing ut least part of the
feed at Tho far end OF the pen or lot
causing them to walk to and from the
trough. For the brood sow plenty OF
exercise is as essential as scien-
tihcally balanced ration. The sow
when exercising picks up feeds and
mineral matter that she knows is
necessary to her system.

Remember that for many weeks we

EXERCISE CARE IN
vACCINATING HOGS
Animals Excessively Fat Are Not
Good Risks-Points to Be
Given Consideration.

(By O. S. CRISLER, Kentucky Experi-
ment Station)
When shoats or pigs are heavily in
fected with woims, vaccination may
result in considesibl BILE loss.
Hogs that are excessively fat are not
as good risks fer vaccination as ami
mails In medium condition.
Farmers must provide proper care
Of hogs before ana after treatment to
reduce the risk 10 a minimum.
Many of the undesirable results fol-
lowing vaccination are due to the con-
dition of the hogs. or to the surround
ings under which they are kept.
The following points In hog manage
ment should be carefully considered:
/. Ascertain beyond a doubt whether
or not cholera Is present in the herd.
2. Animals stand the excitement and
shock of vaccination bettersif the in
testinal tract is empty; II free from
parasites; If in medium flesh IL kept
cool during the operation. and con-
fined in n clean, dlsinfected stall, bed
ded with straw while awaiting the in
lection of serum.
3. The point of incubation must be
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
The animals must not be allowed ac-
cess to dirty, filthy wallows before or
after treatment. 1t is impossible TO
clean dirty hog with n small amount
of antlseptic so that serum can be In
jected with any degree of cleanliness.
Assesses are most often the result Of
the flthiness Of the hogs and not to
any fault of the operator who employs
proper precautions with his syringe
and serum.
4. There must be a clean, dust-free
inclosure for the hogs ut the time of
incubation.
8. Following vaccination hogs must
be kept in clean quarters for mt least
two days. Dirty wallows should be
avoided. A good plan is to keep hogs
in q well-bedded stable. The feed
should be laxative In nature. Losses
sometimes follow vaccination In the
winter months because animals are
placed In damp. filthy quarters.
8. Great care Is employed in prepar-
Ing pure, potent serum. There Is lit
tie risk In injecting good serum into
hogs that are properly prepared for
the operator and properly cared for
following 1t.

To Make Pretty Bathrobe.


Very unusual and quite appropriate
Is a bnthrobe seen In shop where
children's clothing Is sold. The robe Is
Of pink satin, heavily padded and neat.
lIy quilted. The unique feature Of the
robe is it's decoration. All over 1t are
appliqued figures Of Dutch boys and
girls, cut from5brilliantly colored silks.
A similar robe could be made from less
expensive material. If robe is de-
sired for summer, It should be made
without the padding and the quilting.
There nre various ways Of applying the
little figures. They could easily be
pasted into position, but more deco
rative method is to attach them with
blanket stitches, using wool or thread
of contrasting color for the purpose.
French knots are also suitable for hold
ing down the figures.
On another robe animals of every de-
scription were used as decoration.
Scenes from Mother Goose rhymes or
any chlld's story book might be cut
out In colored material and used for
the purpose.

SUCCESSFUL FEEDER
REQUIRES PRUDENCE
Missouri Farmer Tells How Sheep
Gains Are Made-Use of
Brains Essential.

Mr.. G. G.. Starr of Missouri, who
buys and feeds several thousand lambs
each year, In talk to Missouri sheep
feeders ut the University of Missouri
said:
"To be successful feeder requires
more use of brains than any other line
of agriculture.
1.-THE successful feeder must be en-
the watch for things to happen in the
pens.
Care in being punctual with break
fast for lambs will do wonders.
'The greatest trouble we have In
feeding is to induce our partners and
customers to feed plenty.
'Lambs really do best in dry lots
when the feeding begging too late to
use green blades of corn and grass.
They have disposition to wander, and
will not stay with the feed unless more
or less closely confined.
Enough troughs should be provided
for grain feeding so that all can get all
the grain they desire.
"The water should always be fresh
and clean; have plenty OF 1t in enough
troughs SC that sheep can easily drink.
"Plenty of corn is always needed.
Cottonseed meal is very useful, espe-
cially when silage is used. A pound
OF sllage per head per day IL about
enough"

How to Treat a Cold.

Either coddle cold thoroughly, or
do not coddle 1t at all. II Is good to
keep In warm bed, In warm room,
where no drafts can come. II Is bad
to keep In warm bed In drafty
room. and 1t Is worse to shiver about
the house. II you cannot keep quite
away from drafts and cold go. Into the

no use to saunter. That Is one way
Of making you worse. Run or walk
