SECURES WATER FROM DRAIN Farmer Didn’t Want to Dear expense of Drilling Well, So Constructed Cement Trough. f have a large pasture In which there Is no natural water, writes Scott Adams in Farm and Home. I did not want to go to the expense of drilling a well, so 1 dug a hole over the drain that runs through the Held I constructed a little trough with a Watering Place in the Field. cement bottom ami sides of wood. The water of the drain runs through this. 1 built a fence around it to keep stock from falling in, and once a day I dip water out of this into the tank near by. WEAN PIGS AT PROPER TIME Much Depends Upon Their Thrift, Season of Year, Accommodation and Their Feed. DY W. H. UNDERWOOD. The age at which pigs can be weaned is indefinite. The time de pends largely upon their thrift, the Beason of the year, the accommoda tion and the feed one has for them. I do not consider it advisable to wean pigs before they are two months old, I prefer more, to less age. I generally wean my early pigs In May, as I like to raise fall litters from a portion of the sows. Sows can ordinarily be bred within a week after the pigs are taken away. Sows that farrow in June will he too late to breed for fall farrow. It has been my custom to let these run with the sows until they wean them selves. 1 prefer to have iny sows with lit ters in as small bunches as possible prefer a house anil small yard with plenty of grass for each sow. If they are thus divided, and any of the pigs get out of order, you at once know what litter It Is, anil feed accordingly. Watch the little pigs closely and if they look thin and hungry see that their mother is better fed and swilled. As it Is next to impossible to raise a litter of pigs without some of them getting the scours at one time or another, I will give my treatment for this ailment, which has proven suc cessful to me. I watch them closely, and if any of them are too loose at the next feed ing I dissolve a teaspoonful of cop peras, in a little warm water and feed It to the sow in her swill. If the first dose does not prove effective, I give another the following day. When the pigs get from two to four weeks old I fence off a corner In the nrd, where the i.*m cannot go, and give the pigs all the shelled corn they will eat. As soon as they are accustomed to coming for the corn I begin by feeding a little fresh milk diluted one-half wit water. I begin with one cupful and increase the amount as they learn to drink. As the stomach of a little pig Is as sensitive and delicate as that of a child It Is very important that no milk is left in the trough from the previ ous feed as it tends to sour the trough and the new milk. After I have the pigs eating and drinking, so they will come when called and their stomach thoroughly accustomed to the feed they are ready to wean. Livestock (iff Armed with alfalfa and corn, the stockman can simply do anything. A sheep must produce a variety of products If it is to he most profitable. The essential requisites for a work ing horse are good size, quick action and strength. Keeep a pair of nippers handy to snip off the sharp points of a sucking pig's teeth. In proportion to its size, the horse has a smaller stomach than any other quadruped. Grubb flies worry the sheep in hot weather. Provide a dark, cool shed or let them run in thick underbrush. It weakens the horses to keep them shut up in a close stable during the hot nights Turn them out. Every effort should be made to have the stock enter the winter In good flesh and heart. It does not pay to give water in dirty vessels to any farm animal. Hogs are no exception. Pasture is the cheapest pork pro ducer and the longer the season of pasturage may be provided, the better. A poor appetite in any farm animal is greatly against its doing its best, no matter where it is working. Hog pasture is getting dry and short? Cut a little green corn and toss it over, stalks nd all, to the hogs. It will help them out wonder fully. It is not the quantity of food taken into the stomach, but the amount ab sorbed by it, which benefits the sys tem. He considerate of your horses’ com fort on these torrid summer days and offer them water frequently. They suffer with thirst as badly as you do and work harder. CRATE TO FATTEN POULTRY Some Farmers Follow That Method for Quick Profits—Some Ex cellent Firmu'as. Orate fnttenii *; of fowls Is followed by some for quick profit. Tty keeping the chickens in confinement they do not form sinew and muscle ns they do when allowed to run at large Some coops are divided Into partitions or stalls, each of which will hold two or three young chicks or one full grown fowl. They should be fed three times a day all they will out In 15 or 20 minutes. Here arc some formu las for fattening poultry In crates: Equal parts of bran, corn meal and oat meal or rolled breakfast oats, mixed with skimmed milk, fed three times a day. Buckwheat flour, pulverized oats and comment. In equal parts, mixed with buttermilk. Equal parts barley meal and oat meal and half n part of corn meal, mixed with buttermilk or skimmed milk. A favorite French combination is two parts barley meal, one part corn meal and one part buckwheat Hour. A little salt and coarse sand should be added to their food. Three weeks is the length of time to continue the feeding. Chickens do not seem able to stand the confinement for a greater length of time. During the last week of tlie fattening process five per cent, of cotton seed meal and a little tallow may lie added to any of the above formulas. A fattening crate is usually made 0 feet (! inches long, IS to 20 inches high and 10 Inches wide, it is di vided into three compartments, each holding four to five birds, according to the size of the chickens. It is made of slats, except the ends and partitions between the compartments, which are of solid wood. The slats on the top, bottom and back run lengthwise of the coop, while those on the front run up and down. They are usually 1 % Inches wide and % inch thick. Those in front are placed Single Crate for Fattening. two Inches apart to allow the chick etis to put ttieir Heads through for feeding. The slats nil the bottom are placed about % of uu Inch apart so as to permit the droppings to pass through to the ground. Care should be taken not to have the first bottom slat at the back tit closely against the back. An opening at this point pre vents the droppings collecting and de composing. The slats on the top and back are usually 2 inches apart. There is a small V shaped trough arranged In front of the coop for feeding nnd watering the chickens. The trough Is 2 to U Indies deep and ts generally made of :’.,-lneh lumber. Very fair coops are made from old packing lioxes, b\ taking off the front and bottom and substituting slats in their places, as shown in the Illus tration. Whi'ti fattening chickens In side of a building II Is well to darken the building and keep the birds ns quiet as possible. Don’t gorge them one day nnd starve them the next. Don’t fall to divide the buttermilk between biddy and the pigs. She rel ishes It us much as they. Remember the lien when laying needs about twice as much food as she would when not laying. lSggs tested as Infertile from the In cubator may be hard boiled and fed to chicks. They are not spoiled. Too many hens with one rooster means more Infertile eggs. Keep plenty of roosters and produce hatch able eggs. To break broody liens from wanting to sit, shut them up In a coop where they ran only roost on an elevated ob ject and feed lightly for a few days. Chicks cannot grow and keep healthy unless they take proper ex ercise and lots of it. Bury millet seed In litter and let them work for it. Many are raising pure bred poul try and others are starting. This is what we call good chicken sense. We have advocated Ibis for a long time One of the best ways to disinfect a brooder is to open it wide, take out the hover and let the midday sun shine on both for a couple of hours. (live the turkey lien a feed of grain at night. If fed heavily in (lie morn ing sbo will not range so far with the youngsters as if she starts out to find her own breakfast. Greens belong naturally in the chicken feed list. In the wild state fowls live on vegetable matter, wild seeds and inserts. In captivity ttiey require the same tilings. When the lien Is through setting burn all the old nest material, disin fect the nest box and give it a coat of liquid lice killer to mnke a good job of it, and then put In fresh straw. - - ~YfOURS Your* for uni- » | formity. 1 I Your* for great- 1 I est leavening 1 | power. ft I Your* for never ft I failing results. 1 I Your* for purity, ft Your* for economy, ft Your* for every- ft thing that goes to ft make up a strictly ft high grade, ever- ft dependable baking ft powder. ft That is Cnlumet.
