IMPORTANCE OF
FARMER IN WAR
Food-Production Problems Are
Growing More Acute With
Progress of Conflict.
MORE MEN CALLED TO army
Department of Agriculture Officials
Assured From Every Section That
Man Behind the PIow Will Not
Fall in War Task.

The man behind the plow, depart
ment of agriculture officials believe, is
the man behind the man behind the
gun, and the idea has been embodied
in a striking poster that is soon to be
used throughout the country in ham,
mering home the Importance of the

shows a plOwman working in the fur

Farmers Not to Fail.
Food production problems are de-
scribed as growing more acute with the
progress of the war, the increasing de-
mands for food, the calling of more
men to the army, and other results Of
America straining every nerve toward
one objective. But department of ag-
riculture officials are assured in every
mail and from every section of the
country that the farmers are not going
to fail in their war task. Farmers
have gone over the top for the period
of the war. The new poster is intend
ed TO impress upon people of the cities
and towns the great Importance of ac-
commodating agriculture in its require
ments of labor, finance and marketing
Farmers Place Recognized.
The Importance of the farmer in
the organization of American resources
to win the war was expressed by the
secretary of agriculture in his recent
appeal "to the patriots ON the farms"
to go "over the top" this fall for a
great harvest of wheat in 1919. In this
appeal the secretary said:
"YOu have occupied and do occupy
the first line trenches of the food
army. You have to fight difficulties.
TOO. l am not unmindful of these. In
the department of agriculture we con-
sider them daily, and daily we give

M, ted, but there should be no chance
of bad effects due to the Inheritance
of undesirable characteristics from
parents and other ancestors. Some Of
the greatest work ever done in hog
breeding has been based on these prin-
cipIes.
The straight corn diet, which many
hogs receive from one years end TO
the other also lessons vitality, and the
researches of the Wisconsin expert
mcnt station have shown that this is
probably brought about by retarding
the Development of the vital organs.
A minimum of inbrceding and varied
diet, including, especially for breeding

ter enable the herd to resist the at
tackS of disease.
Advantage of Isolated Hog Houses
The advantage of a number of small
portable houses, each accommodating
a few hogs, rather than one large pig
gerry for the entire herd has been re-
ferred to previously. In districts
where cholera is prevalent these are
undoubtedly the best shelters. They
make it more difficult to carry con-
tagion to all animals in the herd, and
the destruction Of one of them in case
of an outbreak does not entail great
| expense. An added advantage is that
| they may be moved from place to
| place as needed. While more work
is necessary in feeding, the convent
cnce and safety from their use more
than offset this disadvantage.
Quarantine Restrictions.
Whenever any animals are brought

brought from shows or from neighbor-
ing farms, they should be kept apart

If cholera break9 out in the neigh

a strict quarantine against the infect
ed herds. He should refrain from Wis

and should insist on requiring that his
neighbors stay out of his hog lots.
Dogs, cats, crows and buzzards may
carry the infection from farm to farm
and should be guarded against as far
as possible.

In dealing with the diseases of hogs,
preventive measures must be most re-
lied on. The animals must be given
Cry and welI-ventilated quarters, which
must be kept clean. Contrary to COM
mon belief, hogs have some habits
which raise them above other domes-
tic animals from the standpoint of
cleanliness. For example, unless COM
Lelled to do so, hog viii not sleep in
IT'S own filth. If a part of the floor of
the pen is raised and kept well bedded
with straw, while the rest is not, all
eXcrement will be left on the Embedded
portion of the floor and the bed itself
will be always clean.
Attention to Feed.
In addition to cleanliness, close at
tention should be given to the feed,
so that nothing may be fed that will
convey the germs of disease, especial
ly tuberculosis, to the herd. If the
hogs are fed milk in any form OBJ
tanned from cows kept upon the same
farm, the cows should be subjected to
the tuberculin test. If they run with
the dairy cattle of the farm, tuber-
culin test of all the cattle is none the
less desirable. Animals dead from any
disease should not be fed to the hogs
until the meat has been made safe
by cooking. Skim milk or refuse from
a public creamery should not be fed
tc hogs until 1t has been thoroughly
sterilized.
Feeding and drinking places should
be clean and the water supply pure.
Unless the origin is known to be I'M
contaminated and there has been no
possibility of infection during its
course, hogs should not be allowed ac-
cess to any stream. Wallows should
be drained out and kept filed up as
much as possible. At least once a
month the quarters should be disin-
fected with air-slaked lire or a per
cent solution of crude carbolic acid
These precautions will be found valu-
able aids in the destruction of the va
rious animal parasites, as well as q
protection from some more serious
troubles.
Danger of inbreedine.
While inbreeding is the surest and
quickest means to fix type. it should
be resorted to with the greatest care
The value of the system is that it en-
ables the breeder TO intensity desira

that if desirable characteristics can be
