HOG SANITATION
LAUDED AT MEET
MR.. H. G.. ZAVORAL, ANIMAL
HUSBANDRY SPECIALIST FROM
UNIVERSITY FARM TALKS TO
FARMERS ON SANITATION.

Hog lot sanitation is one of the
principal subjects being discussed at
the series of farmers institute meet
ings being held over the county dur
ing February. The first meetings in
this series of Institutes covering ev-
cry town in the county were held at
Wanda on January Oath, and at Lam
berton on January 25th, and meet
ing at Redwood Falls high school the
evening of the 25th. Mr.. H. G. Zav-
oral, livestock specialist from the
University Farm, spoke on this sub
ject. Reference has already been
made to this point in previous arti-
cles. The article which follows in
cludes some of the important state.
ments which Mr.. Zavoral covered in
his talks, and which are Of vital i'm
portance in connection with hog pro-
duction in Redwood County.
Swine Sanitation.
From observations it is safe to say
that about one-third of all the pigs
farrowed on Minnesota farms each
year are lost before weaving; about
one-third of them are. stunted and
runty and unprofitable; and only
about one-third of them raised which
ever make their owners any profit.
These conditions cause the farmers
of Minnesota to lose millions of dol
lars annually. The losses are due to
the fact that hogs are raised on the
same ground every year and cannot
escape infestion from parasites and
numerous disease germs. Of course
many losses are due to neglect or
carelessness of the caretalcr. Many
of the losses may be and are prevent
ed by farmers who properly feed their
brood sows during CESSATION and far
rowing time by providing proper
shelter to keep the little pigs warm
and comfortable, and by providing
guard rails to save many pigs from
getting crushed or smothered.
Most of the ills, diseases, and para
sites common to little pigs may be
attributed to the failure to take the
necessary sanitary precautions. Once
pigs get stunted or runty due to dis
ease or parasites they become unpro-
fitable Many die, others that re-
cover consume much more feed to
make marketable weight and have to
feed much longer than healthy pigs.
All efforts should be concentrated
on prevention rather than cure.
Permanent hog lots and feed lots
are dangerous. 1t is advisable when-
ever possible to rotate pastures. A
system of sanitation has been worked
out by agricultural authorities which
has been practiced by the most sue
cessful hog men. Briefly the system
is to carefully follow four general
principles without cutting any corn
ers. They are:
/. Remove all litter and dirt from
the pens. Scrub hog houses with boil
ing hot water lye solution lone can
of lye to 30 gallons of water).
2. Wash sows with soapy water,
paying especial attention to udders.
This washes worm eggs and disease
germs sows may be carrying on their
skins.
3. Ten days after farrowing or so,
haul don't drive) pigs to clean pas
lures, provide sheds or individual
houses.
A. Leave the pigs on pasture un-
til they are four months old or weigh
around 100 pounds. After they reach
this size they are less susceptible to
the most serious troubles.-H. G. Zav-

Although Brown was missing and Derrick in the hospital. the tail-enders again had Haigis in their lineup. and this seemed to put the needed confidence into their play. In the first half they were hopelessly outclassed, Swanson, Anderson, and Larson rac- ing through their defense to pile up a 1924 lead. Bradley was the only Center church man to score from atield in the period. An entire new team took the floor for the Swedes
 in the second half. and Benson promptly proceeded to run wild and garner four baskets in about as
 many minutes. Finally, with the score c4-l0. the Center church be-
 gan to rally and the Swedes sent back their starting combination. This
 failed to stem the tide, and Brainerd, Lockwood. Haigis. and Bradley car-
 ried the losers total to 8 before the
 final bell stopped them.
 The work of Anderson and Ben- son for the winners and of Haigis and Bradley for the losers stood out. The summary:
