More Care Is Required Than
When Same Treatment
Is Given Older Hogs.

fPrepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
ACCESSIBILITY and economy of i'm
munization of sucking pigs against
hog cholera and the discrimination
required in incubation of young pigs
form part of the new material includ-
ed in the revised edition of Farm
ers' Bulletin S34-F, Hog Cholera,
which the United States Department
of Agriculture has just published.

shown that very young pigs can be
given lasting immunity by the stimuli

era serum and hog cholera virus" say
the authors, M. Dorset and U. G.
Houck of the bureau OF animal in
dustry, ut is probably also true that
more careful discrimination is re-
CURED than when the same treatment
is applied to older hogs. This is be-
cause of the fact that young pigs are
susceptible to many diseases and are
more easily affected by adverse con-
ditions than older hogs. In admin
istering the simultaneous incubation
to young pigs it is, therefore, espe-
cially important to be sure that they
are in good health at the time of in
oculation. If pigs are unthrifty from
parasitic infection, or, in fact, from
any cause, If they show signs of
|, thumps or other abnormal conditions,
the simultaneous incubation should
be postponed until they are restored
to complete health. In urgent cases
in which pigs must be immunized i'm
mediately, it is better to use serum
alone if the pigs are not in good con-
ditiOn at the time. They can be Civ

Pigs Protected Sooner.
"The immunization of sucking pigs
has much to recommend it in the way
of decreased cost and increased pro-
lection. By immuniZing early, less
serum is required and the pigs are
protected sooner. Since the success
full immunization of sucking pigs does
not necessitate the reduction Of feed,
1t is possible that the practice would
enable farmers to market their pigs

Maximum Yield Obtained
When Cut at Full Bloom.

Good quality clover and alfalfa hay
are at present'at premium price, be-
cause the greatest demand is for hay
for cows, says Professor III. B. Hart
wig, agronomist at the New York state
college of agriculture.
The maximum yield of the highest
quality hay is obtained when it is cut
at full bloom. Legume hay cut just
before the bloom stage has the high
est quality and quantity of protein,
but the stands are not apt to live
long, he says.
One of the best methods Of harvest
ing is with the left hand, curved
toothed, side delivery rake, which
rakes hay into loose windows soon
after cutting and before the leaves
wilt. With this rake, most of the
clover stems are on the outside and
the leaves inside and unexposed, which
means that the leaves evapOrate SLOW
ly and few are lost in handling. The
quality of the hay made with this
rake is nearly s good as that made
by the old-fashioned cock method, and
labor costs are forty per cent lower.
No further curing is needed in the
field except a ',alf turn of the Window
with the side delivery rake.
The lessened injury to leaves by
this method means high quality hay
because the leaves carry between
three and four times as much digest
ible protein as the stems, and are
much more nutritious.

diseases may have somewhat similar
symptoms. Coupled with this is the
warning that owners should remem-
Der that cholera spreads rapidly

be lost in calling veterinarian to

Source Of infection.
A stream running through hog lot
is recognized as a valuable source of
water supply, but also as dangerous
source of infection. Therefore" the
authors say, "swine confined to lots or
pastures with streams running through
them should be immunized"
Farmers Bulletin S34-F, in the re-
.viSed edition, gives recent statistics
of the losses from hog cholera, which
have averaged not less than $30,000,-

herds, and the aftercare of immuniZed

cited to indicate that fear of an in

fertility of sows is groundless, and
that the danger of causing abortion

except when narrowing time is near.
Suggestions for restocking a farm

Suddenly three dull blows rever-

had perpetrated the lurid joke Of kick
ing the chest on which he sat. While
the others laughed to ease the nervous
tension. Chopin dashed to the piano
and dragged from the chair the skele-
ION, which he passiOnately embraced.
He then sat down and began to play
without his friends remarking that it
was he. The sadness and sweetness
of the music gripped the three friends.
Abruptly the flow of melody ceased
with glazing dissonance. The three
friends rushed to the piano and picked
up Chopin, who had fallen from the
chair in swoon.

Musician Inspired by Prank of Companions

The dramatic circumstances under
which Chopin was inspired to compose
the Funeral March of his Sonata in B
Minor are recounted In Ernst Dec
sey's collections of musicians anec-
dotes, "Die Spieluhr'' (The Music
Box.)
Aoolph Ziem, the painter, had de-
cided to present his admired friend,
Chopin, with new grand piano, and
for that purpose invited the master to
dinner, together with two other Parish
an artists, Prince Polignac and the
painter, Ricard. Chopin arrived late,
as ever, after dark. AS he seemed
more depressed than usual, the three
jolly bohemians tried to cheer him up
and started playing one prank after
another.
Finally Polignac conceived the gro
teSque idea of dragging human
skeleton from the adjoining studio,
and, with ludicrous ceremony, seating
it at the pianofOrte. He grasped the
bony hands and ran them over the
keys, now softly, then louder. The
others extinguished the candles and

Carbon Bisulphide Will
DESTROY Grain Insects

Thousands of bushels of grain are
destroyed annually by insects which
stay in the storage bins from year to
year and live on the grain after it is
stored, according to J. FL. Biggar, Illi-
nois Natural History Survey.
These insects can be destroyed by
cleaning, brushing and fumigating the
bins. Fumigation is accomplished By
pouring carbon bisulphide over the
grain, or better on gunny sacks spread
over the surface of the grain. The
treatment should be used at the rate
of one pound of carbon bisulphide to

Around the Farm
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Proved bulls take the guess out of
breeding.
Today farmers of the world are
closer together than the farmers of
one stetec were hundred years ago.
Sweet clover that is grown primarily
for soil improvement purposes will
give the greatest returns in nitrogen
and organic matter if the crop is
plowed under during the second year
at about the time the plants are in
bloom.
If the motor in your tractor devel.
ops 100 horse power, the transmission
will consume 10, other mechanical and
heat losses %, and slippage 5 to 10.
This leaves only so to 60 horse power
available at the draw bar.
Consistency means the ability of a
hen to keep laying throughout the en-
tire year. The hen that lays only when
the weather is nice is not q consistent
layer. The hen that starts laying early
in the fall and lays regularly every
month for year is the consistent hen.
Two important ways farmers are
lowering the cost of production are
by securing high yields and by keep
ing operating costs at low figure.
A promising new, variety of alfalfa
for the Northern states is the result
of small package of seed received 10
years ago by the United States De.
partment of Agriculture through its
office of foreign plant introduction.
The new variety is known as "Ladak."
Where there are some trees already
growing or where there is a good nat
ural seeding of forest trees, it is very
detrimental to the growing of the
trees to pasture it. Under such con-
ditions the amount of pasture pro-
duced is almost negligible.
Bluegrass in pastures is very de.
pendent on a supply of nitrogen for
successful growth. This supply is fur
nished largely by the clOvers present,
so it is evident that when the clover
begins to fail. because of lack of
phosphorus and lime, the bluegrass
also begins to fail, because of a lack
of nitrogen.

Fertility Problem

Weed control is largely fertility
problem. Weeds usually become trou-
blesome in pastures when the condi-
tons are not favorable to the growth
of desirable plants. On the other hand.
when conditions are kept favorable
for the growth of bluegrass and white
clover, the weeds are seldom a serious
problem.

Compare Selling Crops

Extensive experiments have been
carried on at the Nebraska, Iowa and
Wisconsin stations to compare sOiling
crops with corn silage as summer
feeds. In all these trials corn silage
proved as efficient feed and decidedly
more economical than soiling crops.
In the Nebraska trials carried on by
Professor Frandsen it required Isl
hours of labor for each 100 pounds of
milk produced, to grow and feed the
soiling crops. On the other hand, when
silage was fed only LA hours were
needed per 100 pounds of milk to raise
the silage crop, harvest it and feed
the silage.
