The hogs have been put in on pea
nuts on many farms and will be on
others as soon as possible. 1t is hard
that so many hogs die every year soon
after they are turned on peanuts and
from no real disease when the cause
has been found A hog Graves mineral
matter just as he Graves food. Under
natural conditions conditions the hog
eats earth to obtain mineral salts
and will tear up every stump hole in
seach for charcoal which is a most
valuable cleanser of the digestive
tract and acts as an absorbent Of
gases and other undesirable by-pro-
ducts of digestion.
The hog will eat earth to supply his
body with lime, phosphate and other
inorganic salts and carbon, if these
things are not supplied to them. The
thing that causes heavy loss at this
time of the year is that he eats en-
tirely too much dirt, and the large
intestine becomes packed and consti-
patton sets in as a result. After con-
stipation gets hold fever sets up in
the hogs boy and the whole system
is deranged.
L is a privilege to help farmers
control hog losses at all times. Only

Proper Feeding For Hogs

this week an examination OF herd
of hogs was made and the outward
symptoms were such as are seen in
cholera, but on examination of a
shoat's intestines it was found that IL
or Is inches of the lower part of the
large intestine was packed with dirt.
This dirt had remained there for more
than a week. The animal was remov-
ed from the peanuts last Thursday,
but the peanuts that he had eaten
Monday or Tuesday of last week were
still in the stomach. The food could
not pass because of the dirt obstruc-
ton.
If possible, no better thing could
be done than to get boss out of fields
and in pens after running on peanuts
for about ten days. Give them raw
linseed oil and spirits of turpentine,
one teacupful of oil and half table
spoonsfuls of turpentine to each two
hundred pounds live weight This
would cleanse the digestive tract corr
pletely After this no better medi-
cine or tonic can be given than a mix
ture of bushel of charcoal, bushel
wood ashes or coal ashes, pounds OF
salt, 8 pounds of lime, pounds of
sulphur. Keep in a dry place where
hogs can eat it all times.
