HOGS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL
When Animal Once Acquires Habit OF
Getting Out Of Pasture He 10
Hard to Restrain.

When a hog once gets the habit OF
getting out Of its yard, pasture or
whatever its inclosure may be, 1t Is
one of the most difficult animals to
control. You can stop breachy horse
or COW IL you build fence high
enough, but a hog goes through. II
there is no hole in the fence 1t makes
one. OF course if the fence was so
tight at first that the hog could not
get through, 1t won't bother you the
second and forty-ninth time.
insufficient or irregular feeding, or
failing to supply something which the
animals crave in the feed makes hogs
restless and ready to take the first
chance Of exploring the outside world
in hopes of finding what they failed
to find in their troughs.
1t saves time and patience to keep
them contented and at home.

Noteworthy among the mining

That the mines at Scholle are becom
ing more and more profitable, as more
work is being done, is proven by the
fact that during the week nine cars OF
ore were shipped to the smelter, and
further that the ore now being taken

TREATING HOGS WITH WORMS
Prescription Given for Pig Weighing
About 100 Pounds-Give Salt, Sui
phur and Charcoal.

To expel worms from hogs the fol-
lowing prescription Is right for pig
weighing about 100 pounds: Santonin,
five grains; calomel. two grains; areca
nut, two grains; sodium bicarbonate,
one dram. Keep the hogs off feed
for about IL hours and give the dose
in slop of middlings. The evening
of the same day give mash Of wheat
bran. This will flush the bowels.
Gather all worms and burn them.
Worms often are the forerunner of
disease.
If hog or pig has a big appetite
and thriftless condition, with dry dead
hair, 1t is good indication Of the
presence Of worms.
Salt and sulphur and charcoal should
be kept in every pigpen and pig yard
so the pigs can help themselves.
This is corrective and a preven-
tive of worms.

Shaping Weight and Board.

loss of flavor and hastens decay,
which more than offsets any gain from
extra weight.
3. Good bleeding is absolutely es-
sential to good appearance on the
market and retards decay.
4. Hang the chicken by both feet
while picking. Hanging by one leg
spoils the shape OF the bird. Picking
on the lap gets the skin dirty and
hastens decay.
S. Dry pick if possible. Scalding is
particularly undesirable because it
hastens decay.
6. Chill every dressed bird until the
body temperature is below 35 degrees
F. Never pack or ship an imperfectly
chilled bird. More decay is due to
imperfect chilling than to any other
single factor in dressing. Dry chill, IL
possible. Chickens cooled in water
lose flavor, decay sooner, will not cold
store as satisfactorily as dry-chilled,
and are in every way more undesir-
able on the market. Refrigerator cars
will carry well-chilled goods in good
condition, but they cannot chill warm
goods to sufficiently low tempera-
ture.
T. Pack In boxes or small kegs
whenever possible. A large barrel
makes an undesirable package, be-
cause where poultry is packed in large
masses the weight of the upper layers
crushes the birds at the bottom.
s. Line all packages with parch-
ment paper and cover the top of the
poultry before the lid is put on.
8. Wrap every head In suitable pa
per so that blood from one bird will
not mar the appearance of another.
10. Use only good refrigerator cars
and see that they are in good order.

COLTS RESPOND TO FEEDING
Size Of Animal Determined First Win
ter After Weaning-Aim to Build
Up Big Frame.

No farm animal will pay more for
abundant feeding than the colt. The
first winter after weaving. the ulti-
mate size of the colt is largely deter
mined. We understand that the French
Percheron breeders feed as much as
ten pounds daily of bran and oats to
their weanling colts.
The object Of feeding the weanling
colt Is to induce the formation of a
big frame, with heavy muscling. Our
aim is not fat. Therefore, we prefer
to feed some bran, oil meal, and oats
in connection with corn. For this rea-
son. also. we prefer good quality OF
clover or alfalfa hay to timothy hay.
In connection with timothy or corn
stover, we would feed mixture of five
parts of corn, three parts of oats, three
parts Of bran, and two parts of oil
