The Hog-Cholera Yards Should Be
Well Plowed.
REMOVE ALL FENCES AND SHEDS.
No Hogs Should be Allowed to Co Rear
the Infected Yards for at L'ast

Set.ratka Firmer
Why must so many farmers learn bt
experience that it will not do to bar
bogs and put them into the same yltl
where hogs have died of dialer,,? I
have known of several instances thi!
spring of men who should have known
better than doing this. If the diavaw
strikes a herd, half of which die tu
other half not being affected, the o'wn
buy a few healthy hogs and turns them
into the yard with hi now health vstocx.
Ten to one they will inside of two wW)
contract the disease and scatter a fresh
dose of poison, which will destroy or
render worthless many of those whoe.
caped the first attack. Cholera yards
should be well plowed, all fences and
sheds should be removed and plenty of
disinfectants used, and no hogs should
be allowed to go near them for at lent
one year. If men who run such riek
were the only sufferers, it would not bt
so bad, but a naturally careless man will
always, when he sees the hogs begin to
die, turn them out and let them wander
about, endangering the property of hit
more carelal neighbor. In fact, it u
Farmer Slipshod who may almost bt
considered the originator and perpetu
ator of hog cholera. He always n
immature animal as breeders, and is so
tienny-wise and pound foolish that he
;eeps all the weakly, stunted pigs, which
in addition to being a standing invita
tion to every ill to which the pig is heir
eat their beads off several times in the
course of their lives. It will always bt
noticed that where there is an outbreak
these weaklings are always the first to
get sick, and will keep on their feet ion;
enough to scatter the virus broadcast. 1
believe I would be safe in offering 11,00)
to any man who has lost 15 per cent, ol
hia bogs il he can prove that be has only
used mature breeding stock and hti
kept their yards clean and dry and dis
carded all scrubs or pigs as wouid never
grow right. 1 believe hog cholera cm
always be traced to bad management.
Sheep Tower for Churns.
A writer in the Country Gentltmn
speaks of his tread power in churning si
follows:
"i'or twenty-three years I have used
what is called a tread power or one like
most boree powers, and for the last
twelve years have used a wheel, six feet
across, which get its power by friction
on a entailer iron wheel. I have used t
dog and also a goat, but for the last three
year have used and am now using i
sheep, which ia far preferable and de
cidedly the most profitable, as he can do
the churning and give me a fleece ol
wool that will weigh from eight to nine
pounds, and this is sufficient to pay for
his keeping.
"My experience in using a dog is that
if they churn they are not as a rule good
for anything else will not do much in
handling cows or sheep on the farm;
and to keep a dog simply for churning i
a great expense with small returns. The
goat did very well on the churn, bat
when you have the experience of having
him get loose and eat up the week's
washing on the clothes line or your hat
or coat the expense is rather heavy, to
say nothing of your feelings, when yoa
know no words are sufficiently strong to
express what you feel is wrapped npis
that animal.
"The care of the sheep in summer it
very little trouble. He can be hitched
out to stake or pole and with very little
trouble changed each day as you take
him from the churning. A sheep will,
if fed too much, often get too fleshy, and
will suffer from the heat badly, but in
my own experience I have never had
any trouble, as they are seldom on the
power to exceed twenty minutes, and
our churning is always done the first
thing in the morning, and it is seiuom
warm enough at that time in the day to
do any harm. A sheep will work just at
well on any kind of power as will a dog
and have more weight, which is a favor
able point. The power I am using cost
$12. but could now. I think, be bought
quite a bit cheaper. I cannot give the
name of the manufacturer."
NOTES.
If thev are nicked remilarlv during the
season, geese should average a pound of
feather each, and this should make
them pay.
It may not pay the majority of farm
ers to make a specialty of dairying, but
in connection with other products it can
readily be made profitable.
Whv nnt trnin thn calvo to lead and
train the boys to lead them? and if well
followed, it would often save much
trouble in the handling of the cattle.
The man who wants to buy a Jersey
bull, and who has not made a study ol
pedigrees, will have to trust a good deal
lo the honesty of a reputable breeder to
supply what he needs. A trade mr
for honesty is valuable property, whether
one sells bulls, fertilizers or flour.
An excellent dairv school has joet
opened at Cornell University. Tuition
is free, with board at 3 to iwi"

first term of nine weeks is devoted to
