Hog Lot Sanitation Will Solve Disease Problems Say Experts
Worm Real
Menace to
Pig Rai serj
Peril to Young Swine and
Mortality Is High for
First Four
Months.
1925 Campaign Planned
By K. G. MAXWKIX.
Tt 1* the belief of representatives of
the Agricultural college that the ques
tion of round worms in pigs is one of
the most Important facing Nebraska
swine growers today. There is no
doubt that on many farm* in our
state it is becoming Increasingly dif
ficult to raise a psrfitable proportion
of the pig crop to maturity.
From birth on to the age of three
or four months, the mortality rates
are conspicuously high on many
farms and this may constitute a
marked feature during n series of
years. Tlie solution of the problem
is entirely a sanitnry one. It is a
question of sanitation throughout and
by the term "Sanitation" is meant tlie
creation and maintenance of an en
vironment which is safe to animal
life.
Not » New Disease.
Some may ask why the round worm
was not hoard of years ago. There
is little question of tlie fact that These,
pnrsr.l es h.",vo been with us for n
long time. Tlie round worms hatch
from e- gs •-v small that they cannot
lie seen with the naked eye.
These evgs jins* put of the boily of
the ling and the lots and hog yards
become contaminated, it Is neces
sary that the eggs pass out of tlie in
testine of tlie pigs in order that they
may develop to their Infectious stage.
"What are the symptoms which
seem to lie most noticeable and which
are the symptoms often spoken of by
tho hogmen?" is the question often
asked. In the first place there is
every Indication of the fact that the
pig troubles come from filth diseases
including intestinal troubles, hull nose
and round worm Invasion.
In addition there Is somelimeR an
infection of the skin causing scabby
conditions. Usually when tlie little
pigs are from three to five weeks old
they begin to scour. They also show
signs which would indicate a starved
condition although they may have
been getting plenty of food. Tlie
l’alr gets rough and tlie pies thin.
Thp trouble, of course, is that their
food does them no good. Then there
is the familiar symptom of "thumps."
Some Investigations carried on with
in tlie last few years have shown that
;n tlie majority of cases, "thumps"
are ‘he st-n of the fact that round
worms are present in the pigs and
brtfig on this condition.
A Campaign oil Ascaris.
In 1023 the animal husbandry de
partment of. the state college insti
tuted an intensive campaign In round
worm control. This campaign was
carried on In 10 counties in 1924. A
series of four letters explaining the
proposition was sent to evgry farmer
in these 30 counties In the eArly
spring of 1924. >
Blue print plans of individual hog
houses were furnished to all lumber
dealers In these counties for free dis
tribution to farmers who were inter
ested. Numerous publicity articles
Appeared in the papers dealing with
this subject.
A number of meetings were held at
which the United States Department
of Agriculture film ‘exit ascaris" on
round worm control, was shown.
These meetings were supplemented
with meetings right out on the farms
and suggestions were given farmers
for adjusting their hog raising opera
tions In order to avoid round worm
infection.
180 Nebraskans Report.
Reports were received from 160
farms In Nebraska where this disease
prevention system was used In 1924.
On about half of these farms the big
bouses were cleaned with boiling lye
«ater, sows were cleaned and were al
lowed to farrow in these dean houses.
They were moved with the ]dgs di
rectly from the clean pefvt to fields
where there had been no hogs previ
ously for a number nf years and were
kept there until the pigs were at
least four months old. following
out this system in this wqy an aver
age of slightly less than six henlthy
plgs were raised per sow. Some runts
appeared. This Is nearly one pig
above the Nebraska average.
The other half of these 160 farm
ers cleaned the sows and farrowed
them In little houses on clean ground.
The pigs were never allowed near the
old yards until they were at least
four months of age. These farmers
raised an average of 6.5 pigs per sow
or 1.5 pigs more per sow than the
average Nebraska farmer raises.
There were practically no runts pro
duced where only little houses were
used.
This campaign is to be conducted In
1925 In a number of additional coun
ties. The work is under the direction
of the county extension agents am.
it'la expected that several hundred
>---1
farmers will carry <m tills round
worm control system this year.
Douglas County Report.
A goodly number of Douglas
county farmers ^became Interested In
tile project and followed the recom
mendations for worm control. Among
those wist have, successfully tried the
system are: Herman Borman, Leroy
c; a n s. Phillip Krazeur, Safford
Brothels, S. ('. Warren, E. P. Noyes,
Edwin Wiekland, Speck Brothers,
Charles flrau, 1>. J. Dealer, W. W.
Magee, if. T. Stoltenberg, E. H Arff.
Charles Rosacker, C. H. Grau, Mnjfcr
Leedy, K. W. Voss, Timm Brothers,
C. B. Ritchie. i
The following • comments are typi
cal of those received from 10 farm
ers reporting on their results:
"My opinion is that using some
plan to raise your pigs on clean
ground Is the only way you can af
ford to raise them at all. By keep
ing them in fresh surroundings a
great deal of trouble with all kinds
of hog ailments is avoided.”
"This fall crop of (dgs was far
rowed and is being raised on entirely
new ground, resulting in absolutely
the healthiest and biggest pigs for
their age we have ever raised. Also
a big feature ahout these pigs is that
there has never the sl!ght°st cough
been noticed, convincing us the only
way to raiso hogs for profit Is to get
them started on clean ground.”
"The value of hog lot sanitation is
the difference between profit and loss
if practiced thoroughly.”
The average number of pigs per
sot/ raised by those reporting on
their success #rith the hog lot sani
tation projects was six, approximately
one pig more per pow than the aver
age Nebraska farmer raises.
Hog lot sanitation does three
things for the hog product; _„
L It allows him to prodtire a nor
mal crop of pork with less brood
sows, (less expense). *■'
2. It insures him of a crop of pigs
that wHl gain economically.
•1. It produces a uniform bunch of
shotrs. Every farmer knows what
that means on the market.
Sweet Clover Is
Big Aid to Land
J’laul Has Been Found Prof
itable to iNebraska
Farmers.
By B. \i HOl'SEIt,
C’onnty Kstenslon Ajrent.
Not long ago the sweet clover plant
tvhioh was growing along the road
side was recognized ns a weed. To
day there is plenty of evidence to show'
That this same plant has power to
rejuvenate our partially wornout
lands to the extent of adding many
bushels in yield to the acre. On many
farms scattered over Nebraska the
seed of the sweet clover plant has
been sown in the wheat and oat fields
in the spring. Following the small
grain harvest in early summer, ’hi.
Plant grows with great rapidity, until
within a month it has covered the
stubble fields with a mass of dark
green follagr.
This is what takes place: The sweet
clover plant Is taking nitrogen from
the soil air and storing It in little
nodules on the roots In the soil. Great
tap loots of the plant are boring
down Into the hard subsoil, puncturing
it so that air and water may pass
freely, aiding in the decay of vege
tation and making available the plant
food materials in the soil.
If.we will but stop to consider, we
can easily gee haw the act of sowing
sweet clover in the small grain ^nn
bring about added wealth. First,
there is the crop of hay or the pas
ture at the end of the first year, but
best of all, when the new plant comes
up the next spring and is turned un
der, preceding the planting of corn,
the corn crop which follows may be
increased all the way from 5 to 15
bushels to the ncre, depending, of
course, on conditions.
At the end of the operation, the
farmer has not lost a crop by carry
ing out this system, but has pursued
his usual practice of farming. Ktich
a system will not only maintain soli
fertility, but will eventually bring
back ninny so-called wornout fields.
Flan now to sow sweet clover in your
small grain fields this spring.
TO SMOKE
FRESH MEAT
Smoking: • Hang the meat In the
smokehouse for 24 hours before start
ing the fire, but be careful that' It
does not freeze. Hang so that the
pieces of meat do not touch. The meat
should be hung four or five feet above
the fire. A piecer of sheet iron hung
between the meat and the fire, will
do much to keep the direct heat from
reaching the meat. Corn cobs make
an excellent smoke. After the fire is
started pile on wet corn cobs and
close the door to the smokehouse. Do
not make a large fire, for too much
heat is not desirable. Smoke for sev
eral hours, every other day, for about
a week, keeping the bouse well closed
up between times. When the meat is
thoroughly smoked, wash It In luke
warm water, then dry and hang In a
safe place for use as needed.—From
The Dairy Farmer.
Ten thousand one hundred dolliys
for one animal. That should make
the fellows who have hung on to
their pure-bred herds, sit lip and
smile. Sure, times are getting better.
That bull was worth the pric^ too.
Sanitation Work Is Profitable for Hog Producers
..- --
No. t. A herd of worm-free pigs raised under sanitary conditions prescribed by the state extension division.
Owned by Herman Itonnan, Chaleo, Neb.
No. 2. A group of coming farmers who are getting started right by the state boys’ and girls' club leaders.
They have been making a hog lot inspection tour.
No. 3. This poor fellow is another one of those unfortunates “who never had a chance.” Head about his
troubles in the little autobiography below. •
No. 4. Warm, sanitary meals every 15 minutes. That’s enough to make a hog out of anything, let nlone
a litter of fine Chester White pigs, which are just naturally destined to be hogs if given a fair chance. This bunch
is owned by A. C. Stoltenberg, Florence, Neb. He is an ardent booster for the sanitation work.
OUTLAWED, LOST
WITHOUT A CHANCE
The scrub fig In the picture above
would perhaps say; “Never had a
chance, that’s my excuse for not hay
Ing been in the pork barrel months be
fore tills picture was taken.” About
a year ago he was a normal, healthy
pig-, just born and ready to see what
life had In store for him.
But he did not remain healthy long,
for with, the first meal he swallowed
germs of bullnose and necrotic ente
ritis and eggs of the mange mite and
the intestinal round worm.
About a week later he had a swollen
bullnose and soon his belly wag sore
on the outside with mange and on
the inside with enteritis. And before
he was much older the round worms
grew big enough to hook onto his in
testines and sap his body of, the food
that he ate.
Too Much Company.
In order to feed all this company
the*, attached Itself to him, he de
veloped an enormous appetite, but he
didn't grow and finally he became
so sick of them all that he almost
quit eating. On his first birthday he
weighed 40 pounds, about what he
should have weighed at the end of
the first two months If he had been
given a chance to become a hog In
stead of a host to so much company.
Thousands of pigs never had a
chance iu the filth of the hog lots
which have been used for years. Tlj*;
Nebraska agricultural extension serv
ice as encouraged a hog lot rotation
system, coupled with a few other
precautions, which have made pig
raising as successful as when the
hog lots were new and the ground
was clean. Farmers who had been
compelled by losses to quit raising
pigs are now raising them again, but
on clean ground and from sows that
have been cleaned before they far
rowed. These farmers and many of
their neighbors have adopted the proj
ect as an established practice and no
longer think of It as an experiment.

Nehawka Yoath Has Built Up Herd
of Champion Hogs in Seven Years
Boys’ and girls’ club work has bad
a number of boosters who have stuck
to the propect through good years
and bad ones. Now comes the story
of Harry Knabe of Nehawka, Neb.
It was back there tn 1918, when
pigs were higher than gold bricks,
that County Agricultural Agent L. R.
Snipes of Cass county started Harry
on his career as a hog breeder. The
agent, with Harry's father, encour
aged Harry to join the local pig club.
Wins Championships.
' By 1-920 Harry had made such
strides, In the business that he was
m :Wle manager of the hog work upon
his lather A farm. In 1919-20-21
H u-ry.won tbe county pig club cham
pionship! in 1921 he won the state
championship and a free trip to the
international livestock show at Chi
cago. He founded his herd upon one
sow called Pansy, and at r sale held
upon his father’s farm it) 1923 every
sow offered traced to the original
sow.
In a recent letter received from
Harry he enclosed the following clip
ping, which tells how he won at Kan
sas City last fall.
Brought High Price.
“At the time of the American
Royal I shipped 66 head to Kansas
City and sorted out 16 head after ar
riving. A standard carload is 50 head
The lot wns very uniform; they aver
aged 272 pounds and were eight
months of age. They placed first in
the heavyweight class and were made
grand champions of the show, win
ning for me $345 In cash prizes. They
gold lor $11.26 per cwt., or above
the top of the market. With the
premium money I won anti the extra
selling price I figure I made about
$580 by showing them. They were
mighty good property, even at the
present high price of feed. Most of
the 50 head of barrows were sired by
my herd boar. Yankee King, and
about all of them traced back to my
old foundation sow, Pansy. These
barrows were bred practically the
same as the Junior champion boar at
the Nebraska state fair and the na
tional swine show.
“I like Hampshires, for the sows
are good mothers, farrow large litters
and rnise a large percentage of the
pigs they farrow. They grow rapidly
for me and I always get the top price,
or nearly the top price, for them, for
X have shipped only one carload
which failed to top the Omaha mar
ket, and that time I got within 11)
cents of the top. I also have found
that Hampshires are a healthy hog,
and they are one of the greatest rus
tling hogs you can find."
Zero weather has its effects upon
prices. The^>rlncipal markets of the
country reports upturns In prices for
the month of December. They attri
bute the rise partly to Inclement
weather, which has caused light runs.
’Christmas 1^ over, suppose we will
have to begin getting ready for the
Fourth of July next. All jokes aside,
this is a fine time of the year to get
ready to plant corn. Get the corn in
and begin sorting. Next month begin
testing. Then when spring comes you
will be ready. 1
THESE BOYS ARE
STARTED RIGHT
Pig club boys of clay county, Ne
braska, took a day off last summer
for a tour of the county mul a visit
to the leading ling farms of their
neighbors.
They were all hog lot sanitation
enthusiasts before they started, but
they certainly got "up In the air” in
their enthusiasm o> -r the project of
the agricultural extension service be
fore they had finished the day.
Their pig club work had taught
them that it was wise to look at things
from every angle and that there was
always room at the top for all those
who were willing to climb.
The picture shows them looking
over the scores of individual A-typb
farrowing houses on t$> farm of Mr.
Whisnand, where pigs have been
grown for a number of years on new
ground, uninfected with the .disease
germs and worm eggs of the old hog
lots.
Rotating the pig crop about the
farm has become an established prac
tice In Clay county under the direc
tion of the county farm bureau and
extension service. The system ts
based on the principle that pigs and
parasites be kept apart rather than
grown together. It has proven suc
cessful In many counties of the state
and Is one of the Important projects
of (he Nebraska agricultural extension
service.
HORSE MARKET UP
WITH HIGH TOPS
The Omaha horse and mule market
has been having some of the best
sales of Its history during the months
of January and February. Last
Monday and Tuesday 456 head of
horses and mules were sold. Several
farm teams sold as high as $250 up to
$350 per span. These prices give the
old “raz" to the crepe hangers who
have been burying "Old Dobbin” with
due ceremony every time they have
had a chance. • *
Good horses are getting scarce. At
the sale last Monday span after span
of farm chunks went over the $250
mark. The few heavy ones which
came Into the sale were grabbed off
at unusual prices.
Wide Demand.
At the recent sales there have been
many buyers from the south, from
the east and from Minnesota. Mules
sold upon the local market were being
shipped out to North Carolina, South
Carolina, Louisiana, Arkansas, Georgia
and Mississippi. Several loads of
horses have gone to Minnesota, Wis
consin, Pennsylvania and New York
state. During January tVie market
sold 1,460 head of 1 orses and mules.
That Is more than has been sold at
any similar time since the war. The
special sale which 1s to he held In
February will bring buyers from all
over America. Omaha Is Indeed get
ting to be a good market.
Culling a flock of poultry means
more than picking out the laying
type; it means getting breed estab
lished as well as type characteris
tics.

A business man can make a go of
farming if he applies business rules
to farming. There are many examples
of men who have grown tired of the
city and who have turned to farm
ing through choice.
The other day Russel F. Read of
Winner. S. D., breezed into the of

the Omaha bowling alley at Nine

Staking His All Upon a Turn
The farmer who expected to ride a cloud to Holly
wood is no worse than some other misguided human
beings.
j
By C. H. B.
It is Friday morning—February fi.
Day of days, an epoch-making day
for the poor deluded religious fanatics
who expected the final judgment to
come upon them early this morning.
The farmer back in New York state
who sold off his hogs, cattle and other
farm animals, pajd his debts, and is
now sitting up there o'n that old rocky
hill waiting for a cloud to come along
and give him a free joy-ride to Holly
wood before the final flight to" the
land of the great beyond, what do
you think of him? Naturally you
say, "Why he is a fanhtic; he is per
haps mentally unbalanced upon the
question of religion." That may have
been the reason for his action. How
ever, many perfectly sound men, hard
headed, steady men have been doing
things about ns preposterous as the
thing done by the religious fanatic.
Those W ho Seek the
Materialistic Paradise
Often the very men to fall for
some smooth-tongued slicker who
comes along with a proposition which
promises "immediate release from
drudgery,” in other words Heaven
on earth, the materialistic paradise,
are considered conservative men.
Every neighborhood has its shining
example. Just sit still and think for
a moment. Gaze back over the "oil
kings’* who have grai ed your neigh
borhood, look at the fellows who have
jumped astride the topmost crest of
some land boom and who rode 'er
high and kicked ’em In the neck
every jump just as long as the boom
lasted but who is now running a
medlcinp wagon, or shoveling coal or
just "waitin’’ for something to turn
up. The religious man deals with
eternity, that intangible thing which
is mysterious to all human beings.
The common lunatic who suddenly
turns from a path of constructive liv
ing to "high financing" is dealing
with material things. They come and
go as the sands of the beach. As a
general thing w;e nre only mildly in
terested in human beings so far as
their everyday life is concerned. It
is only the unusual thing that inter
ests us.
Farmers Are Still
Good “Prospects”
Just now the farmer Is beginning
to get back into the field of "Pros
pects.” And now is the time for the
farmer to do some tall thinking.
Perhaps you are one of those who
believe that the farmer now adays
is far beyond the old lo'ng-whiskered
carpetbag carrying kind who used
to come to towm and trade his money
for gold bricks and other equally use
less farm equipment. Don’t be fooled
into believing that the modern farm
er is proof against "modern gold
brlcksters." He is not. In fact the
.more modern we find the farmer the
easier he. Is to knock over for a row
of windfalls.
City W orkers Rucking
the W heat Pit
The other day we were getting n
shave down in an Omaha barber
shop. Were the barbers talking about
were the last thing on earth desir
able, Read went out and bought up
some of the best sows of the Hamp
shire breed. He began to raise hogs
upon his ranch, which Is located about
six miles from Winner. In 1024 he
raised more hogs than any other hog
breeder In South Dakota. He has
over S00 head of purebred Hamp
shires upon the farm. Next year he
li? planning upon selecting a carload
of harrows, to be mown at the Inter
national livestock show at Chicago.
Bred 110 Mows. y
For the coming season he has over
110 head of purebred sows already
safely settled. He plans upon having
a sale the 17th of February, at which
time he will cut down his herd. These
sows are handled under conditions
similar to the Nebraska lot sanitation
project. Rend has 160 acres under
hog fence and the hogs run at liberty
the next barbers' convention? Not
at all, they were talking about their
profits in corn and wheat. Why an
old clodhopper fresh from the farm
couldn’t make heads or tails from
their conversation. One fellows says.
/'I got 10,000 bushels of wheat that
I’ze going to hold until May, The
very idea of letting it go now.” An
other fellow who looked like a truck
driver, was sitting In the chair across
from yours truly. He bursts forth
with “oats Is my meat, you guys are
all going in too strong for wheat,
going to get froze out."
About that tim^ we went Into a
trance and the chln-seraper yelled,
next. AVe found ourselves In the
street, just thinking. Since then we
have been listening in on these city
wheat raisers. Every office has it
“grain expert.” They are talking
wheat, corn, oats, rye, just as natural
like as does the hired man and the
farmer’s oldest kid. Too deep for us.
Don't see where these city desk-lifters
have any business selling and buying
farm products. And just think about
it. They are buying more wheat than
their families need. One clerk bought
$500 worth of corn for a family of
two. Then when corn began to come
up he must have seen his mistake
for he says to me. "I sold my corn
last night. Cleared $150 on the deal.’t
Now Is a Good Time to
W atch the Credit Game
The farmer who deliberately
plunges into debt for tilings that will
not improve his farm is just as fool
ish as the barber who thinks he can
buck the Wail street market and get
away with it.
While we are talking about credit
to the farmers we cannot overlook
calling attention to the man who ex
tends credit to the farmer. Too often
these men urge farmers to take on
more than they can carry. Often
they don't know enough about the
farmer and his problems to be per
mitted to extend and encourage
credit.
We need more of the old-fashioned
farmers, who will stay old-fashioned
and won’t burst loose all at once and
join the mad mob of get-rich quickers
who are continually upsetting agri
cultural growth.

Hog Huslness in West.
To one who is familiar wllt^^H^^
problem j of raising hogs for mm
the history of the westward movement
of hogs is very interesting.
Time was when the western rang >
were covered with large herds of un
tie. Today the predominant trend of
breeding hogs has supplanted the m
mantle ‘‘cow business.'’ With plenty
of room, cheap productive land which
will grow any crop needed for swine
production, the western range coun
try is fast taking the lead in pone
production.
Out there In the Rosebud eountrv
they are not bothered with the com
nlieated diseases which have become
so common in crowded, high-pftced
land districts. Winner, S. D., Is be
coming one of the largest shipping
points In the corn belt for live pork
ers. They are raising some of the
best hogs out there upon the open
prairies that are to be found any
where.
Just as civilization moves westward
so moves the Rwlne business. It has
been said that one cap Judge the
actual age of a farming community
here in America by studying the his
tory of its swine development. ■
