CARE FOR vACCINATED HOGS
Lack of Proper Attention Has Result ed in Material Losses Which
 May Be Avoided.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment Of Agr1culture.)
 Improper care of hogs following their immunization against hog chol- era, administered in public stock yards and after arrival at their destination, has resulted in losses which may be materially decreased. The following instructions for the prevention of losses are valuable:
 Shipments should be made prompt ly after immuniZa ton, or should be delayed for not less than ten days. Truck hauls and shipments not ex- ceeding 36 hours in length can be made promptly to advantage.
 Avoid crowding; allow stocker hogs relatively more floor space than fat hogs.
 Tt is important that drinking water be constantly accessible to the hogs, except in severe winter weather. If the car does not contain special water de vices, a water trough, protected by slats over it's top, should be securely fastened to the floor.
 Little or no feed is necessary dur ing the 24 hours following inoculation but clean water should be accessible. Short-haul shipments need not be fed in transit.
 "When hogs arrive at their destina- ton they should not be driven over the roads. but hauled from the car to the farm in wagons or trucks. Load and unload gently. Avoid chasing and unnecessary excitement in handling. In summer, unload where there is natural woodland shade or shelter pens; in winter, where there are suit able clean, bedded houses.
 Protection against rain should be provided.
 Do not permit wallows in pasture or lot. The use of wallows by recent 1y inoculated hogs may produce pneu- monia.
 For the first two weeks, if it is in season, allow shipped hogs limited

 Mention advertising to the old-time farmer and he thinks of large display type announcements more or less eN- pensively illustrated. But modern farmers have found scores of ways by which they can attract buyers for their products. The suggestions offered herewith are designed particularly for the farmer who is in a position to sup ply given grade of goods in sufficient quantities to meet a stable demand. Butter, eggs, live and dressed poultry, dressed meat, home-rendered lard, sau- sage, fruit and vegetables are among the commodities the sales of which can be bettered by some form of farm ad- vertising.
 There are many means of direct ap- peal to buyers which are made par ticularly profitable by the tremendous increase in auto travel. Today that farm is remote indeed which is not passed many times a week by town or city motorists, the majority of whom are possible customers for the farmer. Consequently he must look well to the appearance of his place. Perhaps un- slightly features of which he is not con- scious exist, but the passerby, keen to discern these signs of laxness, hesi- tates to purchase at such a farm.
 Uses for Bulletin Boards.
 A bulletin board near the front gate is a big asset, if carefully prepared. In addition to the name of the farm or the farm owner, it should state in sim pie, large type the kinds of produce for sale and the prices. Some farmers have found supplementary notices, placed at proper distance on either side of the main bulletin board, very valuable in calling attention to the lat ter. Suggested wording for these fol lows:

 FAIR VALLEY FARM BUTTER, EGGS, DRESSED POULTRY.
 BY PARCEL POST FROM THE
 FARM TO YOU.
 BLAND, MD. |. Many farmers who handle consid- erable quantities of produce find it profitable to use distinctive, printed wrappers. Another simple means of advertising is neatly printed gummed labels for use on the outside of pack ages sent by parcel post or express.
 Advertisements in local or metropoli- tan papers should be short and should give a description of the goods with the prices, and the name and address of the person advertising. In some cities the Sunday edition gives better results than the daily edition.
 What Advertiser Should Know.
 The person who advertises must of fer a product that is wanted by the persons who read the paper at the time the product is advertised, in the places where the paper has a circula-, tion. In other words, he must know what to advertise, when to advertise, and where to advertise. The follow ing are suggested forms for parcel post classified advertising:
 James J. Jameson, Proprietor Fresh eggs, direct from the farm. Send - for three dozen delivered by par Va.
 Butter, direct from dairy. Fresh clean and sweet. Send for two pounds delivered postpaid by parcel post. Fair View Farm, Blank, Va.
 Cherries from the tree to you by pre- are mailed. Send cents for-- quarts to Fair View Farm, Blank, Va. Typical of the small number of farm CTS who have entered the field of na- tional advertising is one in a middle western state, who has built up coun- try-wide trade in his special brand of homemade sausage by using the cd vertiSing columns of publications of national circulation, supplemented by cleverly prepared pamphlets and the use of distinctive wrappers.
