At the beginning. however, we may be sure `that halter handling from a very tender age is essential.

Worms and Lack of Mineral Matter O•ften Cause Serious Loss. ` Whenever and wherever hog cholera Is prevailing, all other epidemics ,to which swine are subject are apt to ebe classified as bog cholera.' Here is an. incident that took place In Will coun- ty, I11., which is u case in point. The same is related by the Farmer's Re- view as illustrating the value of a county adviser; One 'day a hurry up call was re- relved from a farmer whose hogs were . dying from supposed cholera. Of 300 head but -fifty were left, and the ex- ternal appearance of these did not in - dictate cholera. •The adviser bad a sick one killed • and Immediately made' a postmortem examination. The vital organs were found to be in a healthy condition, but the intestines were full of worms: Mr. Grannie advised u vermifuge for expelling the worms and the feeding of a mixture of limestone screenlu gs, rock phosphate and wood ashes. This advice was followed, and po further Toss of pigs followed. This advice is Invaluable to the hog raiser. Worms and lack of minerAmatter are two great causes that contribute to a bad physical condition, which makes pigs susceptible to any disease that may come along, and If they die in apy number it is called cholera. fl. WARDINGOFF CHOLERA. Prevention of Disease In the Hog Herd Better Than Treatment. . There is 'a farm in central Ohio which is noted for its Eine hogs. There are always from 150 to 300 good pork- ers on it, says tbe Farm and Fireside. Cholera has raged all about It. but there bas never 'been a case on the farm. It is a farm of over 1.000 acres. No wateris used Prom tiny source outs side the farm. So no, infection eau come in the water the bogs drink. One day a neighbor came wandering, through the place. The owner halted him and asked him whether the report was true that he' citnme from a farm infected with cholera. The neighbor ndinitted that his hogs were dying of it. "Then get off my place" said the owner. The neighbor grew hntfy, "Well," said the owner. "you wouldn't some, into my house if you had small - His Foot in It. '"Well," said the hostess, bidding her guest good night,' "you have a long drive home, but, It's a. lovely evening." "Yes, isn't it a fine night?" answered the guest addressed. "So you'll have a nice drive and won't wish you hadn't come to see me." "On the contrary, 1 assure you; I al. ways think that the drive home is the. very best part of affairs like this."

This difference in temperament does not necessarily imply that all dairy bred males' are 'vicious and unsafe. pod, would you?" "No, of course not.' "Well, then why come into my Herds when you come from a farm that's in- fected with cholera? We are always glad to be neighborly, but we can't af- ford to pay for calls with our herd of hogs." The neighbor admitted that this position was correct and went away feeling perfectly satisfied. These hogs run In pastures, but the pastures are exceptionally situated, The Minnesota sanitary board recom- mendsthat when cholera rages the bogs be Inept in small, dry pens. "Keep your dog tied," they add, and they might say, "Shoot every dog when be crosses your line fence." Dis- infect the troughs daily with n S per cent solution of carbolic acid. No hog can legally be taken from any .stock- yard'except for ~laughter, and 'breed- ing ,hogs when shipped should, of course, be crated and kept out of the stock yards.

A cross between these tine and coarse wool breeds lnentices one of the best general purpose sheep for this coun- try we have. These half blood sheep shear a heavy fleece of medium wool, which brings the highest market price. and the lambs are better for market ander the care of the average farmer than either of their full blood ancestors.

Worms in Horses. Be sure that your horses are free from worms. A borse afflicted with worms is: never thrifty and feed is wasted. A good remedy'and a sure one is one level tablespoonful of bo rax dissolved in to pailful of water, given first thing In tbe morning. Re- peat this dose for four mornings and watch results, if a horse refuses the water, mix the powdered borax in the morning feed for four mornings, Hog Para ysis., Paralysis In hogs. commonly but err roneously attributed to kidney worms, is induced by overfeeding and lack of exercise. land especially by stuffing growing hogs on corn. which is an in. eomptete'feed that does not go to make bones. Rickets is present in most cases of swine paralysis. and this may be seen 'either in young pigs, fattening t hogs or nursing sows. Prevent by feed- ing mimed rations to breeding, preg- nant and nursing swine, and let them have abundant exercise at all times or the .year, i''eed roots and alfalfa bay as part of the rations 1n winter.

Weanlings -do better when by them- seises than when running and feeding with older horses. Grooming when the bedding is plen- tiful is not much in need under this system. The feet should be regularly looked after at least once a month. A gond hoof rasp is the proper tool with which to level up the foot. Don't let the toes get too tong and keep the hoof wall slightly beveled on the out- side to prevent splitting. Much can be. done to remedy faulty conformation' of legs by skillful and regular atten tion to the growing colt's feet if the 'stable is clean and free from mites at the setting in of winter there is likely, to be no trouble from lice. Free the colts from worms at, the beginning of winter rather than wait for the foals to get out of shape generally. Feeding Frozen Roots.

Colts Need Feed That Will Develop Bone and Muscle. Oats, preferably crusbed or ground, is the best single grain to feed a weanling colt. Here at the station our weanlings have developed well when the grain ration was two-thirds by weight of ground oats and one-third ground corn, the Say being alfalfa. When the roughage Is anything but a good quality of legume hay it is, best to make the grain ration one-fourth to one-fifth bran. says Professor J. L. Edmonds of the Illinois experiment station. It is not possible to state in pounds just the amount of feed that will be required, but good, sound draft weanlings will pay handsomely if fed all the grain that they will clean up three times per day. Good quality of alfalfa and clover are the best rough - ages. They are growers of bone and muscle. Weanlings ought not to be exposed to the elements at night or on the stormiest days. Access to a roomy, closed shed or run in fours in a roomy box will be found right. The run of a good blue grass field will afford ex- ercise and some feet. Plenty of ex- ercise in the open with the chance to grow a good coat is as essential as feed in making a good frame. Wean- lings handfed in this manner may look a bit shaggy, but they will do much better than the pampered hind.

FRANK 'TERRACE, ADDRESSING THE Good Rbads Convention at Tacoma, Washington, gave the following enthusiastic testimony in 'favor of good roads; "I am a cabbage grower. 1 haul my produce to the sauerkraut factory at South Seattle. Before the road over which I travel was built, I had to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning to start on my journey, The limit of the load I could haul with a team of 1800 pound horses was 2500 pounds, and after visiting the factory I would arrive back at my home late in the evening. But look at the difference now that a permanent hard surface has been laid down. I start on my trip about 8 o'clock and need only a team weighing 1400 pounds to haul, a load of 5000 pounds of cabbage, which is double my previous, capacity. And, best of all, I find on my return to the house early in the afternoon, that I have finished the day's work without the horses having turned a hair."

They are the cheapest kind of roads at the end of ten, fifteen or twenty years because they practically eliminate: the cost of upkeep.
