CEMENT DIPPING TANK.
Can Be Cheaply Built and Is Better
Than One of Planking.
An excellent dipping tank can be
made of cement. It can he built aa
cheap or cheaper than with boards
and is much more durable. We would
advise all who are contemplating mak
ing any articles of cement, whether it
be tanks, posts, sidewalks or anything
else to send to the secretary of agri
culture, Washington, for farmer's bul
letin No. 235.
Dig the hole for the cement dip
ping tank eight inches longer and
wider than the interior of the tank is
to be. The end of the tank from
which the animals will make their exit
should be slanting, as shown at A in
the drawing. After the hole lias been
dug, mix the mortar at the rate of one
part cement to three parts sand. Fill
in the bottom of the hole with a
smooth layer, four inches thick. Leave
this till it has dried sufficiently to
hold up a man. Then make a box out
of inch lumber that is eight inches
narrower and four inches shorter than
the interior of the Lcle. This box
53 112r 7
i i
si jg
Sectional View of Dipping Tank.
should be used in making the three
perpendiiular sides of the tank, but
the slanting side should be left open
to be built after the other three walls
have dried. When this box is set into
the hole, it will leave four inches on
either side of the sides and four inches
on the perpendicular end of the box
and the walls. Fill in the mortar in
this opening and leave till it has suf
ficiently dried to remove the box.
Then the floor on the slant should be
made. Start at the bottom and put on
a layer of cement four inches thick,
allowing it to reach six inches upward
on the incline. At the top of this
layer, six inches wide, place a piece of
2x2 so that it will extend one inch
above the surface of the cement.
Then put another layer of cement six
inches wide above this in the slant,
finishing with another 2x2. Continue
this till the entire incline has been
covered. It is necessary to have the
2x2s imbedded in the cement to af
ford a foothold for the animal when it
attempts to come out of the tank, as
cement is very slippery.
In some of the western states,
where the soil is naturally dry and
very hard, a great many make dipping
tanks by simply plastering the interior
walls of dirt with two or three coats
of cement. Such a method of con
struction will answer the purpose
when none but hogs and sheep are to
be dipped, but for the larger animals,
there is danger of the cement being
broken and the dip wasted. It is
much more durable and a great deal
cheaper in the end to make four-inch
walls as suggested above. The tank
should be so located that it can be
easily fenced. Usually by placing it
at one side of the hog pens, but one
side need be fenced, the hog fence
serving for the other side.
WEANING PIGS.
How to Handle Them During the Most
Critical Period of Their Growth.
The weaning period is the most
critical period in the pig's life. Hog
raisers make two mistakes in weaning
pigs. First, in weaning altogether to<
young, and second, in not getting thei*
used to eating before weaning. A pig
is not in condition to depend altogeth
er on feed from the trough before it is
at least ten weeks old. Although it
may seem previous to this time that
they are not getting much sustenance
from their mother, that little helps
wonderfully, therefore feed the moth
ers so they will keep up a good flow
of milk until the pigs can fully depend
on themselves.
All young things have a weak stom
ach, or putting it in better words, all
young animals' stomachs are deranged
very easily, hence the necessity of
feeding them on feeds that are not fill
ed with hulls, such as are found in
barley or oatmeal, says Northwestern
Agriculturist. Ail grains made into
slop should first have these hulls re
moved and then be soaked but not al
lowed to sour before being fed. There
should always be a side trough pro
vided for the little pigs while they are
running with their mothers, where
they can learn to eat and then they
will do much better at weaning time.
At weaning time if it can be so
arranged that the mothers can be
removed and the pigs left in their
to-r.f runs and sleeping and feeding
places, they will feel more at home
and will not worry nearly so much
as when the pigs are taken away and
putin strange quarters. It will also
pay to give particular attention to
'.heir beds at this critical time.
OAMERGN COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 25, JQO7
SCRATCHED IN HORSES.
Simple Abrasions of Skin may Result
in Permanent Defect.
Wo see grease heels and itchy legs
n very many stables, especially where
iraft horses are being raised. When
i horse gets a grease leg he is at once
aronounced an unsound horse, simply
;rom the fact that this leg cannot in
most cases be reduced to its normal
size. Grease legs usually begin with
| scratches, which is caused by a bad
| condition of the horse's blood.
Some horses are much more subject
to this than others, in fact it has been
Claimed that horses with a round bone
are more subject to these defects than
the flatter boned breeds. I have
found that the horses most subject
'.o these disorders are those that have
either been improperly fed or have
been worked too heavily and become
run down in condition. Frequently a
! mare that has been nursing a colt
; during the summer and then put into
heavy work during the fall months
and during this time fed on new
; grain.
As the mare loses her flesh some
swelling of the legs is noticed, and
some itching. The mare is continued
at hard work until the work stops off
suddenly, her blood then is over-heat
ed and getting impoverished, causes
the legs to swell still more, causing
! the skin to be feverish and by the rub
bing that follows, soon breaks the
| skin and with the swelling breaks
I open Ihe flesh just at the joints, then
j the trouble begins; an open wound,
constantly irritated and subject to in
j fection, besides the animal having
j bad blood; such a wound it is almost
i impossible to heal unless the cause is
| removed.
Horses that get poor in flesh are
| subject to many ailments, and
| scratches is one of the most objec
; tionable of these.
When a horse shows any signs of
| swollen legs his case should be taken
iin hand at once. The trouble then is
; not hard to overcome. Very frequent
ly a change of grain with a boiled feed
j ance a day or bran mash, with lighter
: work, giving the entire system a
' 2hange and rest, a light physic, such
! as a pint of raw linseed oil given on
an empty stomach followed by light
food and a rest will often restore the
normal condition. How much easier
this treatment is than to allow the
| case to continue until the horse gets
all out of condition.
Good and proper feeding is the cure
for such troubles and in nine cases out
1 ■)! every ten eases is preventive means,
says Farm Life. If the case has reach
i ?d the advanced stage, first thorough
ly wash the legs with an antiseptic so
i lution and reduce the swelling by reg
llar exercise, apply a cooling liniment
• ind give the swollen limbs a nice rub
bing, which will exercise the circula
tion. Do not expect the trouble to en
tirely disappear in a week; it perhaps
| took months to get the horse in this
i condition and it will naturally take
• time to throw this off.
Thick legs are usually the result of
neglect in such cases, while the horse
may be able to do plenty of work after
j getting a thick leg he is certainly un
1 Bound.
SMALL COLONY HOG HOUSE.
One with Full Length Door and Two
Windows Proves Satisfactory.
The sketch shown herewith is of a
colony hog house used by an Illinois
farmer. It does not differ materially
from others that have been published,
except for the fact that it has a door
extending from the base to the top and

two windows on each side. It is built
6V& feet high in front and four feet
high in the rear, liottom is Bxß. The
advantage of having a door, says Prai
rie Farmer, is that a man may enter
without putting himself io a great
deal of inconvenience. Believing that
the hogs need plenty of light windows
have been placed on either side of the
door.
STOCK NOTES.
Your horse will serve you better il
he isn't afraid of you.
Tumors should be opened when
"ripe" and washed with a carbolic acid
solution.
Care and feed of the pig from birth
to maturity are tho secret of success
and profit.
Blue vitriol, red lead and nitric acid,
equal parts by weight, is an effectual
dressing for foot-rot.
A well-bred pig in the hands of a
poor feeder will soon be a sorry
Not a bit of profit in him.
Put bells on the cows if they run
in *he woods or brush pastures. It
will save time in looking for them.
Experienced shepherds say that sore
teats and sore udders are often trace
able to rations of a too nitrogenous
nature.
No ration has ever been found that
will beat clover pasture and corn for
fattening hogs. The wise stockman is
working the combination for all it if
worth.

SOMEWHAT OF A REFLECTION.
Naiva Comment of Debutante That
Amused Hostess.
A charming hostess of one of the
"big houses," as they are called by
those who are welcomed into them,
has the added beauty of premature
white hair. That which seems to her
contemporaries an added charm may
appear to the crudely young a mark
of declino, at least co it appears in
ono Instance of which the hostess her
self tells with enjoyment.
The lady is a connoisseur ®f an
tiques. At one of her teas a debutante
rich with the glow of youth, but sadly
constrained with her sense of novelty,
was handed a cup-of tea; the cup
was beautifully blue and wonderfully
old. The hostess desiring to light
en the strain on her youthful guest
by a pleasant diverting remark, said:
"That little cup is a hundred and fif
ty years old!"
"Oh," came the debutante's high
strained tones; "How careful you
must be to have kept it so long!"
SCALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies Fruitless—Suf
fered 10 Years Completely
Cured by Cuticura.
"Small sores appeared on each of
my lower limbs and shortly afterwards
they became so sore that I could
scarcely walk. The sores began to
heal, but small scaly eruptions ap
peared. The itching was so severe
that I would scratch the sores until the
blood began to flow. After I suffered
thus about ten years I made a renewed
effort to effect a cure.. The eruptions
by this time had appeared on every
part of my body except my face and
hands. Tho best doctor in my native
county and many remedies gave no
relief. All this was fruitless. Finally
my hair began to fall out and I was
rapidly becoming bald. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, I thought I would try Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Soap. After
using three boxes I was completely
cured, and my hair was restored, after
fourteen years of suffering and an ex
penditure of at least SSO or SGO in vain
ly endeavoring to find a cure. B.

A Square Deal.
A certain peasant supplied a baker
with three pounds of butter daily, and
after some time the baker noticed
that the batter never weighed three
pounds. At last he summoned him.
"Have you no scales at home?" the
Judge asked. "Yes," said the peasant.
"Have you weights?" "Yes, but I
never weigh butter with them."
"Why?" "Because, since the baker
buys my butter, I buy his bread, and
as I always buy throe pounds at a
time, I weigh the butter with the
bread." He was acquitted.—Siarcz.

THE STORY OF A WISCONSIN
MAN IN WESTERN CANADA.
Three Years Ago Worth Only $2,000;
To-Day Is Worth $13,000.
The following la a copy of a letter,
of which the Agents of the Canadian
Government throughout the Unltec
States receive similar ones many
times during the year:
Cayley, Alta., Dec. 7, 1906.
Agent Canadian Government,
Watertown, S. D.
Dear Sir:
Your letter dated Nov. 27th at hand
and was very glad to hear from you.
I see that you are still at work per
suading people to move into the Cana
dian Northwest. I must tell you that
I owe you many thanks for persuading
me to come out here, am only sorry
that I wasn't persuaded sooner, and
there is still plenty of good chances
for many more right at the present
time. I hope that you will be able to
induce more to make a start out to
this part of the country.
Now I must tell you what I have
accomplished since I came out here
and it won't bo three years till the Ist
of July. I shall shortly receive my
patent for my homestead, the home
stead cost me SIO.OO in all, to-day it is
worth $30.00 per acre, but it is not for
sale. Then a year ago last My I
bought 320 acres at $7.00 per acre and
sold this fall for $20.00 per acre and
cleared a profit of $4,1C0.00. How Is
that for the Northwest? I now have
320 acres of land and all paid for, 15
head of horses, 30 head of cattle, 22
pigs, 2 sheep and about 150 chickens
and other poultry, and all new ma
chinery and everything Is paid for.
Wo also bought 8 lot 3 in Calgary and
7 in High River. We gave $470 for
the 15 lots and they are paid for. At
present I consider myself worth $13,-
000.00, and when I left Wisconsin less
than three years ago I had about
$2,000.00. This year I threshed a little
over 4,000 bushels of grain, have
about one thousand bushels of fine
potatoes and about five hundred bush
els of turnips. Mrs. Beisiegel sold
about S2OO worth of garden truck and
poultry this fall. Now there are lots
of others in this community who did
as well as I did in the same length of
time.
The family and myself are all well
at this writing and hope this letter
will find you the same.
Yours very truly,

ENTICED BY THE BAR.
Strenuous Actions Mildly Explained
by the Minister.
Many stories are told of the ec
centric doings and sayings of an
old clergyman who lived in Maine
some years ago. At one time there
had been a fight among some men,
one of whom was seriously hurt. A
trial took place, and the old minister
who had seen the affray was sum
moned as a witness.
"What was Salson doing?" was
the first question.
"Oh, he was slashing around."
"Well, sir, just what do you mean
by that?"
"Why, he was knocking about him
here and there."
"Now, sir, kindly tell us plain
ly what Salson did to this man."
"Why, he—he enticed him," said
the old minister slowly. "He enticed
him with a crowbar. He used the
crowbar to persuade the man— to en
tice him; and by a series of pokes
and blows he succeeded in doing It,"
said the minister, mildly.
A Famous Pitcher.
Elmer Stricklett, the "spit ball"
pitcher, had been listening a long
while in a New York club to the
boasting of a rival.
"Well," he said, exhausted at last,
"you are pretty good, Mike; but out
In Mountain View there is a young
fellow who can beat you. You'll hear
from him next season. His specialty
Is the slow ball. This young fellow
has such a slow ball that, when he
pitches it and sees that It is going to
be hit, he can run after it and fetch it
back again."
Envy and jealousy prevail between
men in the same kind of business,
and neither will give honest credit to
the other.
