CLEAN PENS ARE
URGED FOR PIGS
RoundWorm Held Responsible for
Many Deaths and Large Pro-
portion of Runts.
BADLY DRAINED LOTS CAUSE
Young Animals Farrowed and Kept in
Places Infested With Eggs Of Para
sites Are Almost Certain to
Pick Up Some Of Them.

Investigations reported In recent
technical publication of the bureau of
animal industry, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, disclosed addi-
tional evidence of the importance of
keeping young pigs in clean pens that
nave not been contaminated by other
swine.
A roundworm of pigs, known as As
,aris SUM, Is held responsible not
only for many deaths among swine but
.or a large proportion of the runts
among these animals. Development
and perpetIation of the roundworms
IS fostered by badly drained and ma
aure-covered hog lots. which are on
this account dangerous to young pigs
and not good for pigs of any age.
Soil May Become Infested.
Eggs of the parasite may remain
alive in soil for five years and even
longer. Places occupied by pigs har-
boring the adult worms in their intes-
tines will become badly infested with
the eggs. Pigs farrowed and kept in
such places are certain to pick up
many of these eggs, and even sucking
pigs are liable to swallow eggs pres
ent in dirt adhering to the teats of
| the sows.
investigations by the bureau have
proved that after the eggs have been
swallowed and have Matched in the in
testine the young worms do not imme-
diately settle down but penetrate the
wall of the intestine and travel to the
liver and lungs. From the lungs they
crawl up the windpipe and then down
the esophagus and return to the intes-
tine. Only after they have passed
through the lungs 10 they establish
themselves in the intestine and grow
to maturity.
May Cause Pneumonia.
In passing through the lungs the
young worms cause more or less dam
age to these organs. Pneumonia may

own. While club work encourages
boys and girls to procure a higher
education if possible-9S7 northern

girls are in agricultural colleges this
year--it does not educate them away

of the current year through the
Juvenile club events. When the boys

lar with all ages and all ages attend.
The work in the clubs was carried
on by 173 permanent county club
agents and 8.046 volunteer local lead
ers. The number of permanent club
agents has nearly doubled in six
months. Large numbers of farm bu-
reaus now are paying the salary of a
club leader as well as that of county
agent and home demonstration agent.

auently the cause. Young pigs are
more susceptible than older pigs to in
lection and are also more likely to
suffer severely from migration of the
Young worms through the lungs.
There is no treatment for the lung
stage of the parasite. If the pig sur
wives he may later be treated with
worm remedies to remove the worms
from the intestine. In such cases,
however, 1t commonly happens that the
animal has been so seriously injured
by the worms during their migration
through the lungs that even after their
expulsion from the intestines the pig
is unable TO make up for the setback
he has received, although he does bet
ter than if allowed to go untreated.

Handled in This Manner.

While it may be attractive to city

should be remembered that not all
farm products lend themselves to d.

for possible hired help a whole season
ahead, and months before the time
comes he has two or three men sight

Ohio Specialist Says Hen Becomes

Can hen get too fat to lay? is a
question frequently asked by poultry
keepers. In answer to this question
e. L. Dakan, poultry specialist at the
Ohio State university, says: "As a gen.
eral rule, no. A hen becomes fat be-
cause she is naturally poor layer.
Instead of laying eggs she lays on
body fat. Some rations which consist
of corn and no animal protein, such
as meat scraps and tankage, contain
no elements capable of producing

needs real generalship to manage. The
idea that all women love housework
is just as absurd as that all men like
any one kind of business. But whether
they like it or not, in 20000,000
homes in our great America. some one
has to prepare breakfast and get tho
children off to school on time.
Every household has to face prob
lens that some other household

and she is strong enough to be salts
fed with the way her problems work
out, even If not perfect.
Cne of the first things that bust
nesslike housekeeper does Is to size
up her situation and decide as to what
degree of perfection her housekeeping
may be done to preserve the comforts
Of the family, her strength, and give
certain amount of time for rest, recre-
alton and outside interests, for 1t is
not businesslike to confine ourselves
selhshly to our own four walls. We
should give our share of service to the
community. The very nature of house
work makes outside interests neces-
sary If we do not become back num-
bers' and drudges. Perhaps the rea-
son Is that in Homework we do not
exercise the mind as much as we do
the body.
Be interested in your work and buy
up-to-date tools. This saves time and
makes the work more interesting
Don't fret, don't worry or wonder
what your next-door neighbor would
think of your methods. If II occurs o
you to draw down the shades instead
of busting that is your privilege. Don't
care if you are called shiftless If your
family is wen fed and happy, for all
pioneers in any new ideas have been
looked upon with suspicion.
The average woman, if she has the
health, prefers to do her own work,
not only on account of the economy,
but to get away from the annoyance
Of an outsider in small house.
Is it not possible for housekeeper
to look at her work as whole and
not too much in detail?
