If yours have many pigs to, care for it
will be economy to give away the odd
pig which is without a tent of its own.

it to fight for a place with its broth-
ers. _ A bole in the, fence through which

•
Admirers of. the Chester White
breed of hogs claim they exceed all
others' in prolificacy. They not only
farrow as large litters as any other
breed, buttheywill raise more of
them without runts. This is one of
the mdin advantages of this breed.
This is due, it is chained, to the
fact that the sows are such fine
mothers and good sucklers, while
no breed of hogs equals them indis-
position They are not only the
most docile, but there is no hog
that so readily and -easily adapts
itself to its surroundings. Theillus-
tratlon shows a Chester White sow.
daily in the sun for hours or lie and
snooze will be a great aid to growth.
Rave you tried tankage or dried
meat scraps 'in your sow's rations?
Rer feed has much to do withthe
growth the pigs matte. Large, strong
pigs mean good prices and rapid pork
making for, you if you hold them for
greater growth.
If you have a good .hog pasture you
can make it better by dividing It in
two and placing the shelter house in
the partition fence. Let there be a
Osier at each end so it may be entered
from both lots. Let the pigs have one
lot for a week; then closethe door on
that side and open the one on the oth-
er. The two fields thus alternately
have a chance: to recuperate.
SAVING THE LAMBS.
Guard the New Born Youngsters
Against Cramp and Cold.
If your ewes were in good order in
the fail they should still carry very
good flesh, writes n West Virginia
farmer in the National Stockman.
They should now be turned on a re-
served sod handy to an opeu front
shed, with plenty of hay in the racks.
Sprinkle some salt on the hay occa-
sionally. Should have a fresh cow on
hand. Witb her you can save lambs
that would otherwise die. Watch your
ewes and, if not giving enough milk for
iambs, feed them twice a day warm
milk just from the cow. If you find
onethat has becomechilled by cold
wind, rain or neglect of the ewe, get
him near the fire, give his legs and,
body a good rubbing with a woolen
cloth, heat the cloth, wrap him np and
lay him before ,the Bre for a few min-
utes. Soon he will shake himself and
give the hunger signal; then feed him,
either by way of the ewe or the, cow.
Sometimes a lamb will apparently lose
the use of his legs and refuse to stand
and his head will draw to one side.
This is a sign of cramps- in the stom-
ach.:. Give oil physic, dose same as for
child
I have handled sheep and Iambs for
a number of years, and it was a long
time before I got acquainted with the
cramping part. For several years 1
considered him the same as dead and
let him go, hilt now I dope them and
save nine cases outof ten. 'This may
seem some trouble, but it is only the
;work of a few minutes and saves $4
or $6.

A Massachusetts dairyman writes ns
follows in Rural New Yorker: As 1
have had charge of n registered herd
of Brown Swiss for five years. I feel
somewhat acquainted with them and
Can say that after having 'had experi-
euce with registered Guernseys Jer-
seys and grades of all breeds I still
maintain that the drown Swiss cow
produces a large altount of taint et a
minimum cost. La my opinion 'they
are one of the breeds which is going to
be very popular in the near future.
The principal difficulty is that they
are not known. People who are forte-
nate enough to get them soma find
TheBrown Swiss breed of cattle

breed than onestrictly' for mill:

ed individuals of the breed have
made noteworthy milk records. 'rhe
Brown SWiss are easily kept in out

tality to withstand hardships, as
droughts and severe winters. They
are also free from Ole nervous dis-
positions so common in some other
breeds. The illustration shows a

their value and keep them. They :ire
large, rugged cows and will consume
a large amount of roughage aitd thrive
where many of the tender breeds wundd
starve.
To prove my argument 1 might cite
two or three records made in the herd
I had charge of. One three-year-old
heifer made a record of 0.172 pound,:
Of milk testing 4 per cent butter fat.
another 8,384 pounds. The second
milking year of the latter she produced
10,235 pounds, and started on the third
year with an average of forty pounds
per day for ninety-six days. 1 bare
spoken of only her, but the entire herd
were close to the above in milking
qualities.
Near my farm there is a large mill:
producer who owns a Brown Swiss cow
that produced 15,018 pounds of tnilk
last year, and he has cows of acer-
ly all the popular' breeds, yet be nmiu-
tains he can produce milk cheaper
from the Swiss than from any of the
other breeds because they will thrive
on feed that other cows will not touch
and produce a large flow of mills. The
above milk producer milks somewhere
near a hundred cows and is in a posi-
tion to know the value of cows as milk

SHEDDING THE COAT.
Help the Horse to Get Rid of His
Heavy Winter, Covering.
The time of year when work horses
are shedding their winter coat of hair
is always a criticalperiod,rnnd mueh
of the ability of the animal to with-
stand work well in hot weather 'de-
pends upon the manner In which this
spring change of garment is effected.
If the shedding process be retarded it
indicates lack of health, says Di-. A. S.
Alexander in the ,,'arm Journal. It In-
dicates. las a ,rale, lack of attention
upon the part of the owner. He is apt.
to forget that food suitable during colt,
weather is unsuited to changes of tem-
perature. Corn• which furnished fat
and heat during winter, 130w becomes a
burden to the animal economy. The
heavy cont of hair lends to profuse per-
spiration find this to debility. Nature
now seeks to throw off the incubus—
the long coat becomes a foreign body
to; be gotten rid of;
The horse falls to part speedily with
this winter protection unless he is
given a chance by his owner. To stim-
ulate shedding at this season, try"to in-
duce health if it is absent. Do this by
flooding the stable 'with fresh air and
sunlight. Change bard drinking water
forsoft water. Stop feeding corn and
substitute bran mashes until the bow-
els are freely opened—until the winter
costiveness gives way to the freedom
of excretion which nature stimulates
by green grass. Feed oats then to till
the blood with nitrogen: the carbona-
ceous matter of corn is no longer called
for. and nitrogenous matter will better
build up muscle and afford vim and
vigor for hard labor. Lastly, use• the
curry comb: and 'brush as mechanical
stimulating factors.
Economy of Silage.
More food can be stored in a riven
space in the forte of silage than In any
other form of rocghnge. it has been
Computed that an avers ge elibie font 01

foot of hay would contain 4:14 pounds

litters ci year will obviously be con-

Depraved Appetites of Cows.
For cows with depraved appetites the
following treatment is suggested by
Hoard's Dairyman: Tnite one pound
powdered wood charcoal, one pound of
phosphate of lime and one pound of
ground gentian root; mix them and
give each cow half a teacupful of the
mixture morning and night; also give
the cow a little dilated vinegar every
day (about half a teacnpfal•rit vinegar
with a teacupful of water).

Pimples are caused by the blood being
out of order. Those little festering
sores appear on the forehead.. on the nose,
on the chin and other parts of the body,•
and although they are not a dangerous
trouble they are very unsightly to both
you and your friends.
There is only one sway to get rid.' of
them, and that is to purify' tbe blood.

doubt the pest remedy on the market
for this purpose.

There is undoubtedly entirely too
much carelessness In the handling of
these animals. They are too uncertain
of disposition ever to be trusted. Of-
tentimes their Viciousness may be the
result of bad handling. No man should
ever take chances with one of these

some that the matter of the disposition
can be controlled by proper selection
in breeding. and animals of bad dispo•
sition eliminated. Something might
be accomplishedalong this line, but we
doubt very much whether the danger
can ever be eliminated in this manner.
The safest' plan is to treat the bull al-

Corn and Cob Meal.
Corn and cob meal is not injurious
to the stomach and udder of a cow if
it is not fed In too large quantities. It
is quite u common practice to grind
the corn and cob together. This is
done where the concentrates of a ra-
tion are rather heavy, and we have al-
ways considered it a good thing to do
under such circumstances. We would
not, however, advise- the feeding of
more cobmeal than would be supplied
by grinding the cob and corn together.
It requires about fifteen pounds of cob -
meal to equal the protein in one pound
of cornmeal and about one and one-
half pounds, of cobmeal to equal the
carbohydrates in one pound of corn-
meal. In other words. cohmeal is no
more nutritious than oat straw: -
