WATER FOR HOGS IN SUMMER
Muddy and Filthy WaTIow-HoIes Are
often Means of Spreading Con-
taqious Diseases.

Hogs should have access to plenty
of water during the hot summer
months, but the muddy and filthy wal
lOw-holes that are so common over
the country are often the means of
spreading contagious diseases, espe-
cially cholera.
Farmers are encouraged to con-
struct wooden or concrete wallOws for
their pigs, and to keep them in rea-
sonably clean condition. A boarded
up wallow is very satisfactory; but a
better way is to dig a shallow hole,
big enough for the pigs to lie in, and
to use concrete for the sides and bot
tom, plastering right onto the earth.
1t is a good plan, also, to put in a
drain so that the water may be read
lily changed.
In addition to making the hogs
more comfortable these wallows can
be used as a means of Kidding them
Of lice and fieas. To do this, cover
the surface of the water with about
half an inch of crude oil. When the
pigs go into the water they will be-
come covered with the oil and the
yernin will be killed.

PREVENT SPREAD OF DISEASE
important That Hog Cholera and
Swine Plague Be Recognized in
Very Incipient Stages.

It is very necessary that we recog-.
1ize hog cholera and swine plague in
he very early stages in order to pre-
vent them from spreading. In some
outbreaks the symptoms are not typi-
al and we cannot diagnose the disease
1y the symptoms alone. In such cases
We should destroy sick hog and make
1 careful post-mortem examination.
If the disease proves to be hog chol-
FRA or swine plague, and it is practical
lnder the conditions, the herd should
De divided into small punches. The
sick animals should be separated from
The well ones and all possible precau-
lions taken against the spread Of the
disease.
Do not move the hogs to different
parts Of the farm, nor scatter the dis
ease over the farm. If the yards and
hog houses are in such a condition
that they cannot be properly cleaned
and disinfected, we should move the
herd to. some convenient place anu
build temporary quarters.
When the weather is warm the only
protection needed is shade. In cold
weather it is necessary to provide

BOT FLIES CAUSE ANNOYANCE
Parasites Attach Themselves to Lining
of Stomach and Absorb Food
Intended for Animal.

Bot flies are about the worst annoy
ance to a horse in summer and early
fall. They buzz around his legs and
throat and deposit small yellow eggs
on the end of the hairs. Later these
eggs enter the horses mouth, hatch in
the stomach and develop bots, which
attach themselves to the lining of the
stomach and there remain until late
the following spring. They absorb
some of the food that should nourish
the horse and undoubtedly cause con-
siderable annoyance.
Every few days during early fall clip
off the hairs that carry these yellow
eggs. The number of eggs that reach
the horses stomach and hatch there
will be reduced CORRESPONDENCE.

hogs from piling up and catching cold.
Portable hog houses are very useful
for this purpose.
The yards, feeding floors, troughs
and hoghouses must be kept clean. All
litter must be removed daily, and the
frequent spraying of the hogs, feed
ing floors and sleeping quarters with
a water solution e per cent or more)
of a tar disinfectant is a necessary
part of the care.
