FEEDING ROUGHAGE TO PIGS

Nature designed the hog to eat nuts,
roots, ete., and to graze for his rough-
age. Under careful management, how-
gver, alfalfa hay, silage and even clo-
ver hay may be fed with good re-
turns. The ration should always be
properly balanced with plenty of grain
in order that it may not be too bulky,
for the pig has a small stomach, not
withstanding the reputation he has for

The following Is given in response |
to a recent inquiry for plan of a stock |
rack, writes F. L. Marsh in the Farm,
Stock and Home. Figure 1 is a side
view of a rack suitable for handling
cattle, hogs or sheep. The length and |
height can be varied for special rea-
son, but is about correct for general
use. The bottom will serve for a
wood rack, by using stronger timber.
A 4x4 fir at each side and a 2x4 In
the middle Is strong enough for stock.
The bottom {8 boarded crosawise
The sides are nalled or bolted to
hardwood stakes, fitting into medium
sized rack irons. Thus each side is
removable,
The end gates are held by cleats
and rods, as In a common wagon box,
The rear end gate is shown in Fig 2.
A similar gate is placed back of the
low part. The front gate should be
tight. A seat may be placed on the
low part, resting on side irons. The
front compartment can be used for
calves, or In case of a full load the
middle gate can be removed
Fig. 8 shows a loading chute, placed
to connect with rear end of rack. The
front end may be mounted on a pair
of old wheels, The height and pitch
should be suited to the height of the
wagon used. The bottom of chute
should be cleated, so stock will not

Doctors in all parts of the country
have been kept busy with the epidemic
of grip which has visited so many
homes. The symptoms of grip this
year are very distressing and leave
the system in a run down condition,
particularly the kidneys which seem
to suffer most, as every victim com:
plains of lame back and urinary trou
bles which should not be neglected,
as these danger signals often lead to
more serious sickness, such as dread-
ed Bright's Disease. Local druggists
report a large sale of Dr. Kllmer's
Swamp-Root which so many people
say soon heals and strengthens the
kidneys after an attack of grip
Bwamp-Root ig a great kidney, liver
and bladder remedy, and, being an
herbal compound, has a gentle heal
ing ofect on the kidneys, which is al
most immediately noticed by those
who try it. Dr. Kilmer & Co. Bir
