QUESTION OF WEAVING PIGS
Little Porkers Should Remain With
Mother for at Least Ten Weeks,
Say Experts.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
At the conference of swine extern
sion workers of United States de-
partment Of agriculture, held recently
in Washington, the question of wean-
ing pigs arose. The discussion brought
out the fact that in some parts of the
country farmers followed the practice
Of weaving their pigs at most all ages
from five weeks up. The conclusions
reached were that for best results pigs
should be allowed to nurse the sow
for at least ten weeks where It is
possible to do so. It was decided that
it would be still better to allow the
pigs to wean themselves. A good
sucking SOW properly fed should be
in good flow of milk up to the time
the pigs are at least ten weeks of
age. Without question the mothers
milk is the best feed possible to OBJ
tain for young pigs. Consequently
hog growers should take advantage Of
this natural feed to the greatest ex.
tent possible.

REMOVE MALES FROM FLOCK
Infertile Eggs Are Beet to Keep and
Cost Less to Produce-send the
BOOSTERS to Market.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Produce infertile eggs. They are
worth more, as they keep better and
they cost less to produce since there
are no ROSTERS to feed. No expense,
education, ability, or labor other than
catching and killing or selling the
ROSTERS are necessary. Remove the
males at once.
While eggs are plentiful some should
be preserved for the winter months,
as they will be scarce and high priced.
It costs but little in time, money and
labor, and is so easily done that it is
only common sense to do it. Use
fresh, infertile eggs and let custom
ers know that they can get such eggs
for preserving. Those who have never
preserved eggs should get in touch
with the county or home demonstra.
ton agent, the state extension direct
OF, or the United States department
Of agriculture.
Now is the time to begin culling
ficcks. Send the BOOSTERS to the chop
ping block or the market. Eliminate
all weaklings and deformed chicks
Get rid Of the chick that stands along
the side Of the coop with its wings
down, it's feathers ruf1ed, eye shut,
and head down. Do not keep single
chick that you are not sure it will pay
to raise.

coops, and colony houses, and good

\ The horses are wearing nose
guards these days in the Northwest.
It isn't that somebody has developed
cavalry football, neither is it that
northwestern horses are given to the
fault of stumbling and MASKING their
noses. It is to prevent the laying
Of eggs on the horses lips by the
worst, probably, Of the three Ameri-
can species Of bot fly-the nose fly
Of horses. This fly is confined to the
north central and north Rocky Noun
tain states. It's egg-laying habits diff
fer from those of the other bot flies,
making 1t more difficult to control.
The common bot fly lays its eggs
mostly on the forelegs of horses. The
second most common one, known as
the throat bot fly, lays its eggs mostly
on the throat and lower jaw.
Effective control results from going
oyer these surfaces every seven days
with rag dampened in a 2 pei. cent
carbolic acid mixture. But the nose
fly lays Its eggs where they cannot be
got at by this method-on the short
hairs Of the lips just at the moisture
line. The United States department Of
agriculture recommends two types OF
nose guard-or, more properly speak
ing, lip guard One is a wide piece Of
leather attached to the bride or halter
and covering the lips. The other Is a
somewhat complicated box arrange
ment that permits grazing But COM
plete effectiveness is not claimed for
these measures. The extension work
