Wat Good Didn't Get Measles.
The subject of measles came up In
a family that had a small boy In It
"Have you had the measles yet,
Charles Robert?" asked the visitor.
"No," the youngster replied. "I did
think I was going to have them last
week, but I was real good for thre
or four days, and I guess I won't have
them now at all."

FIRST CARE OF BROOD SOWS
Should Be Kept In Thrifty Condition
Without Laying on Much Fat
Making $7 Cot.
The first care of the brood sow
should be to keep her !n a thrifty con
dition wlthtut laving on much fat. A
week or ten days before farrowing
time put her In a fattening pen and
let her get accustomed to her new
quarters. Feed a little bran each
meal, which has a laxative effect and
makes farrowing easier. Scratching
and petting a sow while feeding is
time well spent, although it may seem
ridiculous to some, writes Edward B.

have in one week tamed an old sow
that looked like a man-eater so I
could handle her pigs.

Pumpkins for Hogs and Cows.
It is surprising that more pumpkins
ire not fed to pigs and cows which
lave. access to alfalfa pasture in the
Call.' For brood sows and shoatB, and
even for fattening hogs a ration of
pumpkins will give good results. . It
has been found that raw pumpkins
will give as good results as though
they ere cooked. If cooked and
ome grain sprinkled over them hogs
will eat more of them, which Is the
ouly advantage. In feeding cows the

s convenient and has other advan
tages, it.is hard to keep clean, and If
a contagious disease breaks out the
chances are that all the herd will
take it The bottom timbers of my
hog cot are 2 by 6's, placed up eight
inches and made to lap over at the
corners, where a pin holds them in
place when set up. The top timbers
are 2 by 4's, made in the same way?
The dimensions of the cot are 8 by 8
feet, 6 feet high in front and 4V4
feet at the. back. I find that such a
bouse can be built for $7.
It is best to make such a house of
matched lumber, but inch boards a
foot wide and well battened are good.
I place a guard along the wall of each
cot, a 2 by 6 that extends outward
and is six or eight Inches above the
floor. This protects the pigs from be
ing rolled on when they are young. I
have five of these cots now and will
build five more. ' They are easily kept
dry and clean, may be moved about
where wanted and when not in use for
hogs may be used to house chickens
or calves.
WEED OUT 'GRADE' STALLIONS
Effect of Breeding From Such Stock

The education of the average far

breeding in the production of horses
makes . slow progress. - The majority

Some of the -states have passed
stallion laws containing some excel

lions in the state.
Minnesota has a law framed along
the lines of the Wisconsin measure.
Pennsylvania and Utah have adopt
ed similar laws and other states have
restrictive measures under considera
tion.
The effect of these laws Is to make
the owner of each non-registered stal
lion declare his horse a "grade." On
handbills that are posters so that no
one may be deceived as to his pedi
gree. The situation abroad Is very much
better than in this country. In fact,
practically no scrub, grade or non
registered stallions are used for pub
lis service.
In the investigations of this matter
carried on by Dr. A. S. Alexander of
Wisconsin it was found that of all
the stallions in the "State, 60 per cent,
were grade stallions and only 40 per
cent, pure bred. -
Some of the specimen horses used
for public service are remarkable ex

out the state for service. One Is 13.3
hands in height and weighs 650
pounds, and he is not the worst in. the
lot, by any means.
The effect of breeding' from such
stock is apparent in the . very low
Diarrhoea In Little Pigs,
The cause of this trouble Is usually
AH abrupt change of feed, either of
the mother or of the pigs. An ex
clusive diet of alfalfa is responsible
tor some of the intestinal irritation,
shown by a watery green diarrhoea ap
pearing a few days after feeding unon
alfalfa. Most animals recover after
several days purging, but Buccumb
from weakness. Another source of
the trouble is dirty, unsanitary sur
roundings with stagnant water for
drinking purposes.
Treatment naturally should consist
o'f a change of the conditions so far
as possible. A change of feed should
be given gradually, and in alfalfa
feeding a little grain Is indicated un
til the little pigs become accustomed
to the alfalfa ration.
Serious Mistake. '
Don't make the mistake of thinking
that any dirty thing; Is good enough
for the hog Just because he has the
reputation of being a dirt-loving ani
mal. No doubt this common mistake
has caused more disease among hogs
than any other one thing.

It is .as easy to teach a colt good
manners as faulty ones..
If grass is short, be sure to feed a

Unless a man has a great love for

The cause of unthrifty .pigs can
often be traced to a filthy swill bar
rel. No animal that gets only feed
enough to support life can make a
gain or profit.
Silage is highly relished by young
stock and by Idle cows, as well as
those in milk. .

Silage Is well adapted for fattening
lambs and for a part ration for win

Don't leave the sheep In a dry, short
pasture. Give them a chance in a

tion. Most -horsemen have had unfavor
able results from feeding silage to
horses.' A few report it a satisfactory

Silage is not of much valuo to bogs,
