HOG CHOLERA RECOMMENDED
Device Is Paying Proposition and Will
8ave Trouble Animals Soon
Learn Its Use.
lhere seems to be very little said
about the hog oiler and yet It is
something that has been used on a
great many farms for the past year or
two. I have had experience with oil
ers of different kinds and find that
the use of a good oiler, that does not
leak or clog up, Is quite worth while
and is a paying proposition, as it will
saire a great deal of trouble and ne
glect, says, a writer in an exchange.
A great many farmers neglect keep
ing their hogs free from lice and
mange simply because it is so much
trouble and annoyance to get them up
in a pen and sprinkle or dip them.
The hog oiler not only saves time
and trouble, but also saves oil, since
much oil is wasted when the sprin
kling can is used.
There are two distinct kinds of oil
ers on the market: The cylinder oiler
and the upright or post oiler. The
oiler that does not waste oil by leak
ing or overflowing and one that oper
ates easily is one of the best invest
ments a hog raiser can make; while
the oiler that leaks or clogs up with
dirt is almost useless.
If the oiler is set up in a place
where the hogs congregate every day,
such as the feeding place, they will
almost invariably use it when they
smell the oil.
FENCING FOR HOG PASTURES
Material Slump In Profits If Animals
Are Confined to Pens Make
- Barrier "Plg-Tlght."
The raising of hogs calls forythe
fencing in of a field or two for hog
pasture, for -.every hogkeeper well
knows that there is a very material
slump in the profits in pork-growing
if the hogs are kept in pens or small
runs, obtaining no food except that
given them. Of the three prime es
sentials in a hog pasture namely
pasturage, water supply and fence
the fence is of more importance than
most of us realize until a stiff bit of
experience sets us thinking. The hog
lot fence, of all fences on the farm,
needs to be built substantially and
"pig-tight." Any hog pasture fence
that is put up hurriedly and somewhat
indifferently is a detriment to all con
cernedto the rest of the farm, to the
farmer and to the hogs, even.
SHORTHORN BREED IN FAVOR
Country Church in Northwest Missouri
Is Center of Community De
voted to Breeding.
(By FRANK D. THOMSON.)
A country church near Itavenswood,
in northwest Missouri, is the center of
a community devoted to breeding
Shorthorns. In the past three months
the 26 members of the organization
and to be eligible to membership in
this special effort one is required to
Prize-Winning Shorthorn.
Jve within five miles of the church
have acquired 100 registered Short
horns and 200 high-grade cows.
Twelve registered bulls have been
placed in service. The latter, however,
are owned privately by this group of
Individuals within the circle. The mat
ter of convenience determined this
Item.
The community is known as "Har
mony." The Shorthorn circle is but
one of various Interests which the com
munity is encouraging.
KNOWLEDGE HELP TO FARMER
Good Judge of Stock Offered Many
Opportunities to Mingle With
Experts and Breeders.
The farmer who has been a good
Judge of stocky through careful, sys
tematic study will have a degree of
recognition and influence in his com
munity that may offer many opportu
nities for him to meet and mingle with
the best informed live stock men, ex
pert judges, prominent breeders and
officials of shows and other agricul
tural organizations. He may thus
come in touch with the best meth
ods of breeding and handling stock
and with men of affairs, and by his
Increased knowledge broaden Us in
fluence and usefulness to his com
munlty and the world at large.

INDIVIDUAL QUALITIES ARE IMPORTANT

Purebred Sow and
(By W. L. BLIZZARD, Department of
Animal Husbandry, Oklahoma A. and
M. College, Stillwater.)
A good breeder must be a good feed
er, as this is the basis of the business.
You can take good animals that have
been deyeloped for a few generations
until established . in great size and
quality combined so that the offspring
Inherits them. Then place them in the
hands of a poor and indifferent breed
er and feeder and In a few generations
you will have them back into their
original position, losing all of the im
provement and gain.
Good blood Is not everything. Not
every animal that can furnish a pedi
gree is desirable for a breeder, though
his breeding be of the very best. His
Individual qualities are the Important
part, and should equal the excellence
of his pedigree. There may be excep
tions. Many men will hang onto a sow
because she has a splendid pedigree,
when in conformation she is not a good
representative of the breed. Usually
cases of this kind are a detriment to
the herd.
On the other hand, those who think
a pedigree is of little value will never
get very far In purebred live stock pro
duction. A pedigree Is of very little
CONTROL OF SORGHUM SMUT
Treating Solution Made by Mixing of
Formalin With Water Sprinkling
Seed Is Easy. ,
Kernel smut of the sorghum crops
aiay be controlled by the same treat
ment given to kill oats smut. The
treating solution Is made by mixing a
mint of formalin (also called formal
dehyde) with 30 to 40 gallons of wa
ter. The seed may either be sprinkled
or immersed. Sprinkling is easier and
if done carefully Is Just as effective.
In the sprinkling method the seed is
spread out on a clean floor and the
solution Is applied with a sprinkling
can. The seed is stirred while being
sprinkled. When each seed is mois
tened the seed is piled up and covered
tightly with wet sacks, blankets or
canvas for several hours. Then it is
spread out to dry. Successive lots are
handled In the same way.
Treated seed should not come in
contact with containers that have held
untreated seed, unless those containers
have also been treated with the solu
tion. Sorghum smut causes a very
large annual loss. It affects all of the
sorghums except mllo.
MIlo Is said not to be affected by
smut, and milo seed, therefore, does
not require treatment.
BEST FATTENING HOG CROPS
Corn and Cowpeas, With Sufficient
vArea Should Be Provided Sweet
Potatoes Also Favored.
(By W. R. DODSON, Louisiana Experi
ment Station.) -
The best fattening crop available
from the 15th to the 20th of July Is
corn and cowpeas, and sufficient area
shoulcTbe supplied to keep the hogs
from four to six weeks.
It will generally be found advan
tageous at the end of that time to
transfer them to a field of peanuts or
soy beans of sufficient area to main
tain the animals about four to six
weeks. Feed them a little dry corn to
balance the ration. Probably the most
profitable crop available for hog feed
from the latter part of October until
the latter part of December is sweet
potatoes, and the fattening period can
be closed with the harvesting of this
crop.
When hogs are allowed to harvest
sweet potatoes at will and are fed
a moderate quantity of slops contain
ing a rich protein feed, they make
remarkably rapid gains.
STORAGE OF DAIRY PRODUCTS
No Method Quite So Effective as Set
ting Vessels Containing Them in
Running Water.
No other method of storing dairy
products milk, cream and butter is
quite so effective in keeping them
fresh as that of setting the vessels
containing them In running water,
either In n spring or some artificial de
vice for the purpose. For the con
venience of the housewife and the
health and sunitatiou of the entire
family, every farmer ought to manage
to arrange such a place, which can be
done at slight cost on every farm,
Healthy Litter.
value to a buyer of breeding animals
unless he knows something of the in
dividuals found among the ancestry
named. The hog breeder must know
the bloodlines that are popular in the
breed he is producing, and those that
are doing the most to build up the
breed. -
Remember, the better the breeding
stock the better are the chances for im
proving the individuals in the herd,
and thereby building up a good herd.
Hence the greater opportunity for suc
cess in the hog business.
Then again,- you must feed and care
for what you have already, or they be
come finer In spite of all you can do
and will soon go back to the scrub
stage. Do not cross breeds. The best
cross for any breed is the feedbln.
All feeding must be done with good
Judgment. Changing feed must be done
gradually. Avoid radical changes. If
a ration change Is made, It is liable to
disturb the condition of the animal,
and If she is a sow suckling pigs, it is
very likely to be a serious danger to
the , litter. Therefore, make all
changes of feed carefully, moderately
and gradually, so as not to injure the
litter or sow.
RULES FOR DRAGGING ROADS
Illinois Highway Commission Gives In
struction on Care and Maintenance
of Highways.
The following rules are given by the
Illinois highway commission:
Use a light drag. fc
Haul, it over the road at an angle
so that a small amount of earth is
pushed to the center of the road.
Drive the team at a walk.
Ride on the drag; do not walk.
Begin at one side of the road, re
turning up the opposite side.
Drag the road as soon after every
rain as possible, but not when the
mud is in such a condition as to stick
to the drag.
Do not drag a dry road.
Drag whenever possible at all sea
sons of the year.
The width of traveling way to be
maintained by the drag should be
from 18 to 20 feet; first drag a little
more than the width of a single wheel
track, then gradually Increase until
desired width Is obtained.
Always drag a little earth toward
the center of the road until it Is raised
from 10 to 12 Inches above the edges
of the traveled way.
If the drag cuts too much shorten
the hitch.
.The amount of earth that the drag
will carry along can be very consider
ably controlled by the driver, accord
ingly as he stands near the cutting end
or away from It. -
When the roads are first dragged
after a very muddy spell the wagons
should drive, if possible, to one side
until the roadway has a chance to
freeze or partially to dry, out.
The best results from dragging are
obtained only by repeated application.
Remember that constant attention Is
necessary to maintain an earth road in
its best condition.
MARKET ALL SURPLUS MALES
All Young Cockerels Not Intended for
Breeding Should Be Either Sold
or Caponlzed.
Surplus cockerels should be mar
keted as soon as possible is the ad
vice of poultry specialists. All young
male chickens that are not intended
for breeding purposes should be either
sold as broilers or caponlzed. The
things to keep In mind Is that the long
er a cockerel Is held after he has
reached the broiler stage the less la
his actual vulue as a market product.
Only in special cases should the cock
erels of the Leghorn breed be capon
ized. Creeds of the heavier types, such
as Plymouth Rocks or Rhode Island
Reds can be caponlzed with profit. If
the cockerels are not marketed at the
proper time money will be lost, un
less they are so selected as to bring
more as breeding stock. On the other
hand cockerels of only market value
should be disposed of as soon us there
is a market for them. Two-pound
broilers that bring 17 cents a pound in
July, are worth more than the same
cockerels would be two months later
at 8 cents a pound, at which time
they will be classed as stags. Be
sides the actual loss in money, twe
mouths' feed and work is also lost.

PROOF THAT COURTESY PAYS
Business Man Tells How He Placated
Angry Customer Who Had a
Real Grievance.
In the American Magazine a writer
says:
"I soon learned that the average
woman, with the burden of housekeep
ing on her shoulders, is the most ir
ritable and unresponsible creature
alive. A delivery ten minutes late
can bring on your head a mighty
wrath, a wilted lettuce can lose you
your best customer. I had to stand
between these women and overworked
delivery boys, careless shipping clerks
and sometimes Inferior goods. One
Instance : A woman was to give a din
ner party. Her groceries arriving al
most at the last minute with the fish
order filled Incorrectly. 'My dinner Is
spoiled,' she cried distractedly over
the telephone. 'I never will spend an
other cent with you as long as I live.'
Woman Is built for fortitude, not re
sponsibility. I shouldered the respon
sibility and persuaded her to bear with
me until I could rectify the mistake.
It took much soothing; a hint of irrita
tion on my part would have spoiled
everything. As It was, fifteen minutes
later a messenger boy was delivering
the fish at her door; we had kept
our customer and made a lasting
fiend." . .
