HANDLING HEAVY HOGS.
Convenient Arrangement by Which
One Man Can Do Work Alone.
The old fashion of having a lot of
help around at hog killing time is go
ing out owing to the use of better
appliances for handling the animals
after kililng. I rigged up a simple
arrangement so that I am able to
handle heavy hogs without assistance,
says a writer in Farm and Home.
I built a fire box with a flue, b, of
A One-Man Butchering Plant.
three joints of old stovepipe. The
vat was made of heavy galvanized
iron four feet long by two feet wido
and IS inches deep.
Over this I erected a frame of two
by four-inch strips, upon which I
placed nn old traveler from a hay car
rier. With the windlass arrangement,
a, and the tackle, e, to which were at
tached the four feet of the hog, I can
convey it from the vat to the bench. A
rope, c, passing over the pulley at g,
serves to pull the carrier, d, over the
bench from the vat. I have seen ar
rangements that were more simple
than this but have never used one
that was any easier to work.
CANKER OR SORE MOUTH.
A Disease Which Is Apt to Appear in
the Herd in the Spring,
It usually happens in the spring that
there is a great deal of complaint from
this trouble. The disease is one that
is quite common in almost every sec
tion of the country and while it has
been noticed that it is more preva
lent some seasons than others, we feel
justified in quoting from Mr. S. M.
Shepard in his excellent, book, "The
Hog in America," 011 account of the
number of letters we have recently re
ceived asking for information about
this disease. Mr. Shepard thinks it
is usually the result of unhealthful
milk from the sow or from poison on
her teats obtained by contact with poi
sonous vines or wet grass. He says:
"The first symptoms are lumps on the
sows' udder, and sometimes sores;
next will be noticed blisters on the
lip, tongue and mouth of the pig; the
tongue and lips become swollen and
the roof and the sides of the mouth
inflamed and covered with deep red or
white blister spots. Swab the pig's
mouth out thoroughly with a solution
of carbolic acid and water sufficient
ly strong to make the flesh upon the
arm tingle. Apply with a rag or small
piece of sponge tied on a stick. Strong
sage tea applied in the same way is
Rood and in addition blow powdered
j sulphur through a straw into the
pig's mouth. Bathe the sow's teats
and udder with a weak solution of
carbolic acid, and keep afflicted lit
ters away from other pigs."
THE FARM STOCK.
Improved breeds are most profit-
I able.
Old horses with poor teeth need
ground grain. Save waste grain by
grinding their feed for them.
It's a good plan to have a veteri
narian inspect the teeth before winter
time and do any floating that is neces
sary.
Too many feed the sow too much
corn and when the pigs arrive they
are weak, the sow is feverish, and the
result is only about a half crop of
pigs saved.
I always fatten my hogs on old corn.
In this way I get them to market
earlier in the fall and secure the high
prices. Do not feed old, hard corn to
hogs until it is ground and soaked.
Hogs are apt to get too hot in a
straw pile then chill, and trouble
begins.
In feeding hay to hogs cut and
moisten it and mix with meal for A-l
results.
Ojie ear of corn a day and all the
alfalfa hay she will eat will carry a
brood sow through the winter in good
breeding condition, says ex-Gov.
Hoard, who keeps his that way.
Beans Make Good Pig Feed.
Mixed with other grains, cull beans
may be fed to sheep and swine. Some
times they are used for dairy cows. In
tests of feeding swine on culled beans,
it was found that an average gain of
a little more than one pound per day
could be made, at a cost of about $2.50
per 1001 pounds. There is practically
no better way to make use of culled
beans than to feed them to hogs. The
beans should only be fed when cooked,
and to do this, they should be soaked
for several hours before the cooking
is begun. They can be cooked either
by running live steam into a barrel
containing them or by putting thera
into an ordinary feed cooker or pot
over a fire. For small quantities the
pot is more convenient.
Breeding Qualities.—lt is essential
that all breeding animals should stand
up in good shape and have plenty of
bone, muscle and constitution.
EXPOSURE OF COWS.
Dairy Animals Need More Protection
Than Beef Animals.
Dairy cows will not stand the ex
posure that beef cows will stand.
This Is one of the argumeuts put
forth by some of the advocates of
the use of beef cows for the produc
tion of milk. We have to acknowl
edge its force. If cows are to be left
to hustle around wintry strawstacks
perhaps it is better to keep beef cows
than any other. This can be said
for them, that the fat that is laid up
from hif?h feeding is distributed
through their ilesh and forms also a
layer under the skin, which serves as
a non-conductor of heat. This prevents
the escape of the heat from the body
and gives the cows a certain amount
of protection when they are exposed.
The cow of a dairy breed makes all
this fat up into milk and does not
have it to use as wadding under her
skin. The cold air strikes her skin
and she shivers. Therefore the dairy
cow must not be exposed to the cold
rains of fall and spring or to the cold
winds of winter. A Hoistein, Guern
sey, Jersey, or Ayrshire cow of pure
breeding must be given a fair
amount of protection in winter,
though not so much as was once
thought to be necessary.
Some years ago one of the prom
inent dairymen living in northern Il
linois came out with a theory which
he promulgated that the dairy cow
needed no protection in winter. He
had made an experiment and found
that when hie cows were allowed to
fight their way through snow drifts
and suffer other hardships they did
as well as at any other time. Ho
preached his theory quite vigorously,
but did not obtain many followers,
His experiments may have been made
with cows that belonged to the beef
breeds or that were grades having in
them a large per cent, of beef blood.
If there is one thing that seems to
have been fairly well demonstrated by
a large number of experiments, says
Farmers' Review, it is that exposure
of cows belonging to the dairy breeds
lessens the milk supply and the fat
supply. In Holland and some other
countries the cows are frequently
; blanketed in cold days in spring and
fall and are warmly housed in winter.
Protection is given them against cold
and wet, and it is a generally accepted
i tenet that exposure reduces profits,
i In winter it may be that some of the
protection given such cows is ex
i cessive, but we cannot afford to gc
far in the opposite direction.
FEED RACK FOR SHEEP.
1 One Which Is in Use on Experimental
Farm in Louisiana.
Dr. D. H. Dalrymple of Louisiana
i in a bulletin from the experiment sta
tion illustrates a feed rack that is be
j ing used in experiments made at the
! station. A good idea of one of these
I racks is given in the accompanying
A Cood Feed Rack for Sheep.
Illustration. Its advantages are a cov
ered manger for roughage, a shelf to
catch the waste, and a platform for
the fore feet of the sheep or lambs.
This sketch ought to contain some
suggestions that will prove useful to
those building feeding racks.
THE GOAT IN AGRICULTURE.
No Better Helper Can Be Found to
Clear Land of Briers or Bushes.
The owner of a badly brier infested
or bush covered farm has before him
an expensive aad disagreeable task, if
he intends to clear it by manual labor.
Many millions of dollars have been ex
pended in this country in that kind
of work, and many millions more will
be spent in the same direction. But
the Angora goat will do the work for
nothing and will pay for the privilege.
It prefers briers and bushes to the
best clover or grass that was ever
grown. An lowa land owner has
cleared 600 acres of briers and bushes
through this agency. He estimates
that the goat has increased the value
of this land at least ten dollars an
acre, and while the animal has been
making the owner money in that di
rection it has been contributing to his
bank account with its hair, skin and
flesh. Nor has it been troubled dur
ing the time by the great enemy of
the sheep, the dog.
Treating Horses' Hoofs.
For horses that have eaten so
much corn that the feet begin to
swell near the top of the hoofs, the
following mixture is advised: Poul
tice the feet for two days with any
good poultice, such as bread and milk,
bran or flax seed meal. Keep the poul
tice hot by the continued application
of hot water while it is on the foot.
When it is removed, the part should
be washed well with warm water and
castile soap suds, then dried with a
linen cloth. Make a mixture of one
part carbolic acid and three of gly
cerine by weight and apply this to
affected parU twice each day.
FIVE MONTHS IN HOSPITAL.
Discharged Because Doctors Could Not
Cure.
Levi P. Brockway, S. Second Ave.,
Anoka, Minn., says:"After lying for
five months in a hos-
P ital 1 was dis-
charged as incurable,
(• and given only six
.jf months to live. My
<j heart was affected, I
Wr had smothering
.Jy spells, and some
tinlPß fell uncon
scions. I got so I
' couldn't use my
mUMW arms, my eyesight
was impaired and the kidney secre
tions were badly disordered. I was
completely worn out and discouraged
when I began using Doan's Kidney
Pills, but they went right to the cause
of the trouble and did their work well.
I have been feeling well ever since."

Effect of Serving on Grand Jury.
"There is one sure way to get a
man interested - in the proceedings of
the criminal courts," said the gray
headed man,"and that is to put him
on a grand jury. Just let a man once
serve the public in that capacity and
thenceforward he becomes an inde
fatigable student of the criminal rec
ords. The result of his experience is,
in a way, inevitable. Naturally any
man with a spark of curiosity about
hira is anxious to know the outcome
of the trials of the persons he has
found indictments against. In fol
lowing these cases through the vari
ous courts he acquires an interest
in judicial proceedings that really
never dies."—N. Y. Sun.

"Xo wonder the man is so success
