man and ]Farmer. it is something ov-
ety fur+ner who raises hogs needs and
has had occasion to use several times
every year. I have just ringed two old
sows that will weigh 350 pounds each
in fair stock condition. Of course they
were strong, but after I sot thorn in
the crate—an easy matter, for I coaxed
them in with shelled corn --I easily
held them with one hand and worked
the ringer with the other, and I'm no
Saudow either.
I use I, by 0 inch boards for the ,
crate and use oak for the two top
boards, As they hold nails better than
soft wood. I nail strips across the top
for the cover, leaving the spaces six
Inches apart so I Can easily manipu-
late a rope till I catch a noose around
the upper jaw,
I use a three-eighths incia cotton rope
with a small Iron ring braided in one
end, as the noose runs much more free•
ly through this ring than through a
rope. It Is an easy matter to work this
noose around the upper jaw and then
draw the snout tip through the crate,
where it can be easily held by giving it
one turn around one of the slats form -
Ing the e6ver of the crate. All the rest
is easy, and the rings can be inserted
at leisure.

out chief of the (fairy division of the
bureau of animal industry, says:
It is the general practice in certified
dairies to remove the manure at least
twice dally to the held or to a suitable
pit some distance from, the stable. In
the most carefully managed dairies the
whole Interior of the stable is washed
and scrubbed daily with. water Con-
taluing a washing Compound, Some
use a disinfectant in the water once
or twice a week,, as bichloride of mer-
cury, carbolic acid or i, �rmanganate
of potash, Rlebolride• of mercury is
probably the most expensive of any of
the disinfectants. Aside from, this fact,
it is one of the most satisfactory be-
cause It gives off no odor. Where the
interior of the stable Is built of wood
It is whitewashed from two to. twelve
times annually or kept well painted.
Land plaster Is the most common dis-
InPeetant for floors and gutters,' Slaked
iluie is also satisfactory for this pur-
pose, Shavings are most in favor for
bedding,
The cows are cleaned daily with
currycomb and. brush. The udder and
parts in proximity to it are either
washed and wiped with a clean towel
or are wiped with a damp cloth or
sponge. In many Cases the udder,
Clanks, etc., are clipped periodically.
