Diseases of swine may be classed In two groups: (a) Ailments which are not highly destructive und can be treated as a rule by the farmer; (b) highly destructive diseases, particu larly of Infectious origin, which spread rapidly and kill quickly, and to handle them profdrly requires the co-opera tion of not only the farmers and stock raisers, but federal and state officials. In the first group which Is not high ly destructive may be mentioned such ailments and conditions as parasites, both Internal and external (worms and Itcc) ; mange and other skin diseases; tumors and abscesses; poisoning by agents as caustic potash and mold In garbage, cockleburr, cottonseed, etc.; pneumonia; thumps, or other digestive disorders. These nllments as a rule can be readily treated by efforts of the farmer himself, and the applica tion of home remedies often proves ef fective In their cure. Preventive meas ures at all times should be observed, such as proper housing and feeding, sanitary conditions of yards and shel ter, good clean drinking water, and above all the elimination of filthy mudholes. FEEDING THE SUCKLING PIGS Germination Test Should Be Made During Winter Months When Other Work on Farm Is Slack Good Method Outlined. (Prepared by the United Statu Depart ment of Agriculture.) Bean nnthracnose and blight are carried over from year to year In the seed. The most effective method to reduce the amount of disease, accord ing to the United States department of agriculture, Is by hand-picking the seed very carefully before planting. This will eliminate most of the spot ted, discolored, shriveled, undersized and cracked beans, and does a great deal toward insuring a uniform stand. A germination test of the seed will in dicate whether a good stand is likely to result. This work should be done during the winter months wheu work Is slack and before the spring rush begins. Secure Cleaner Crop. By removing all discolored and spot ted beans the source of infection will he greatly reduced, and the result will be a cleaner crop. The weather con ditions determine to u certain extent the severity of bean nnthracnose and blight, but if nil diseased seeds are removed the grower will be Insured t 1 a -y.w '- iif.. Hard Worked.

Shelled Corn le Particularly Good When They Begin to Nose Around for Food. (From tho United States Department ot Agriculture.) When the pigs are about three weeks old, sometimes less, they will begin to nose around for something to eat. If they are going to do ns they should this something must bo supplied. One of the best feeds nt this pnrtlcular time Is shelled corn. It should be In a self- feeder In n pen where the pigs can go to It nnd will not be bothered by any of the rest of tho hogs. This can be arranged by a creep Just large enough to admit tho pigs handily. Don't forget that these little fellows grow quite rapidly and from time to time the creep must be made larger. After the pigs are 4 or 5 weeks old, especially if they do not have good grass pasture the addition of some shorts, tnnknge, or oil menl Is advisable. Nothing would bo better, however, than skim milk. The self-feeder In which is kept corn nnd other feeds should be maintained right along up until wean ing time, nnd after that If the pig Is Intended for market purposes. Pigs to be used for breeding purposes may be kept on a self-feeder all the time with splendid results, but in some cases they get too fat and logy nnd do not take the proper exercise. The most profitable pig is the ono that never quits growing from furrowing time until he Is driven over the scales. PRODUCTION OF LIVE STOCK A Saving Theory.

"That the effective conduct of the war demands Immediate attention to proper construction and maintenance of the highways of the country is a plain statement of facts," asserts Chairman George P. Coleman of the American Association of State High way Officials. "Never before has there been such' urgent need of a comprehensive and definite policy for road and street con struction and maintenance as Is the ease at present, and, In making their request to the United States govern ment to formulate and promulgate at the earliest hour a plan which shall be countrywide In Its character, the state highway officials believe that they are expressing the concensus of opinion of all citizens interested in roads progress intended to encompass the greatest economic and military value in conserving the resources of the country and facilitating the hlgh- n ,..- uuuspui luuuu in ireigiil.

We are going to be exceedingly hopeful that the director general will recognize the Interrelated needs of railroads and highways, enabling the road arteries of communication to serve a maximum help in relieving the rail lines of their present overload." IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIII GOOD ROADS IN CONNECTICUT Excellence Due to Efficient' Mainten ance Under Extremely Heavy Traffic Conditions. The main roads of Connecticut have long been famous for their excellence, a condition due to their efficient main tenance under heavy traffic as well as to their original good construction. State Highway Commissioner Bennet has organized a special branch of his bureau to attend to this maintenance, so that there is no divided responsibil ity for results. It Is under a super intendent of repairs, W. Leroy Ulrlch, who recently explained how the good results are attained. The state has been divided into ten districts. Any part of each of them can be easily reached from a central point, where the office of the district supervisor of repairs is located. Each district is di vided into sections, each In charge of a foreman. These foremen sometimes ATTENTION GIVEN BABY BEEF Industry Increasing In Importance on Account of the Scarcity of Feeder Cattle.

The nation's meat bill Is enormous; many farmer's ba con bill Is more than It should be. Plant grnslng crops, raise hogs, calves and lambs. SALT CORN TO RETARD HEAT Acts Not Only as Preservative but Aide In Drawing Out Water Which Then Evaporates. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Owing to the large amount of soft corn that was harvested last fall, spe cial cure should be given to prevent It from heating In the crib. Corn that has already been cribbed without sort lug should be worked over during weather unfit for husking. This is es pecinlly true If stored In large crlba without special ventilation. Corn In large, broad cribs freezes during the winter months and while frozen ap pears to be dry. Investigations, how ever, have shown that corn In such cribs dries out little until the weather begins to warm up in the spring. With tho excessive moisture In the soft, frosted, nnd Immature corn it Is prac tically certain that there will be fur ther spoilage and heating of the soft corn ns the weather warms up. The salting of ear corn In cribs will retard and In many cases prevent heat ing. The salt acts not only as a pre servative but aids In drawing the water from the corn, which then evaporates If the corn Is stored In well-ventilated Cribs so that the air can circulate free ly through it. The United States has carried on no special experiments with salted corn, but the quantity of salt recommended ranges from one to two barrels per 1,000 bushels of corn. This condition, however, will not apply to shelled corn stored in elevator bins' where a free circulation of nlr through the corn is Impossible. Shelled corn of high moisture content should be ar tificially dried. MM lea. iHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiinimii There Is No Monopoly in the packing industry.
