(Prepared by the United Stales Depart ment of Agriculture.) All hog lots should be built where tho sun will Rhine upon some portion of them at all hours of the day, says State Farmers' Bulletin G6G, of the de partment of agriculture. Sunshine Is on'o of tho greatest factors for destroy ing germs and keeping down diseases. A Bupply of clean, fresh water at all times is essential. Tho troughs should bo kept clean and not so much feed given at ono tlmo that it will bo left In the trough to becomo sour und filthy. Tho troughs should bo fre quently washed out and placed whero tho sun will shine in them. This 1b eBpcciallyv truo of troughs uBcd for feeding small pigs. Cleanliness of tho feed Is essential In this case to prevent scours, which is the cause of death among bo many pigs. Avoid sudden changes of feed for the sow just before farrowing or whllo suck ling her pigs. Do not givo a bow too much feed at UiIb time. She should have about four pounds of dry feed for each ono hundred of live weight. Somo clean, dry straw should be placed in every houso for bedding, as it is essential that the sow havo a warm,' dry bed when she farrows. Many young pigs are lost each year from cold and exposure at farrowing tlmo on ovcry farm where no shelter Is provided. Tho young pigs must bo kept warm, dry and have plonty of .eunshlno until several weeks old in order to do well. Few bows that get plenty of exercise and are not too fat will need help in farrowing, but it is well to bo prosent to give help if nec essary and to keep any pigs from being crushed. Clip off tho small tusks the day after the pigs are born. Give Hogs Raised by a J them tho best of care for the first ten days and tho death rate will be reduced greatly. A flat-bottomed trough with sldos not over three inches high may bo used for feeding tho small pigs and the feeding should bo started as "soon aB they will begin to eat, or at about four weeks old. , Remedies for Hog Diseases. Charcoal, 1 bushel; hardwood -ashes, 1 bushel; salt, 8 pounds; air-slaked lime, 8 pounds; sulphur, 4 pounds, and pulverized copperas, 2 pounds, Is a good remedy for pigs suffering with scours and hogs affected with worms, according to tho animal husbandry di vision of tho bureau of animal indus try, department of agriculture. If tho pigs euow Indications of wourlng, keep the charcoal mixture whoro the bow can eat it nt will, or give- her IB grains of copporas In hor slop every night and morning until effective. In caab Of severe scour ing with little plgB each may be given five to ten grains of subnltrate of bis muth after changing tho sow's food ntid ffivlne her tho connoras. One .of tho best pre'.entlvo meas ures for worms is to keep Vho mixture whero tho hogs catt at it at will. Mix tho lime, salt aDJ, aulphur thoroughly, and then mlr wjtn tno charcoal and ashes.

A rubbing post may be made by wrapping some gunny sacks about a stako and wet ting tho sacks frequently with crude oil, so that tho hogs may rub against them. An effectlvo method of clean' lng tho hogs of lice during the sum mer months is to pour crudo oil on tho water In the wallow. A thin layer of oil will get on tho hogs and will kill the lice without Injuring tho hogs Every year tho loss of little pigs lrom ennker sore mouth is enormous, and might bo prevented by a little care. The disease is caused by Infec tion through scratchos on tho nosu 01 faco of the pig, by a germ which Is found in the droppings and tilth from nearly all hogs. The Infection results In swellings on the nose, or in eating canker sores. Tho small pigs have very sharp little tusks in tho sides ot their mouths, which scratch or cut tho others' cheeks when they fight Tho disease may bo largely prevented by clipping theso small tusks off cvon with the gums the day after tho pigs are born, and by keeping tho pens cleaned and bedded with fresh, clean straw. Care must bo taken not to lacerato the gums when clipping the teeth and not to pull out tho tusks, as Infection would probably tako place through these wounds more readily than from the scratches made by fighting. A pair of Btnall bono forceps for clipping the tusks may bo bought for 75 cents to $1, and should be kept on every farm where pigs are raised. They should be carefully disinfected, washed and dried after uso. In case infection has already taken place and ulcers developed, the dls- Pig-Club Boy In Alabama. ease may bo treated by scraping each ulcer thoroughly and rubbing It with A pencil of lunar caustic. Afterwards swab tho sores twico dally with a E per cent, solution of potassium per manganate. In mild cases good re sults have often been secured by dip ping the head of the affected pig sev eral times each day in a solution mado by dissolving two ounces of potassium pcrmanganato In a gallon of water. If lumps or boils develop on tho snout, cut deeply into each with a sharp knife and at once satur ate with tincture of iodln. Wash the snout dally thereafter with a solution of potassium permanganate and everr day apply tincture of iodln to the ulcers, TIMELY HINTS FOR DAIRYMAN Practical Feeder Will Observe Mangfef Carefully Cleanliness Is Matter; of High Ideals.
