FEEDING AND CARE OF HOGS.
Some people have as Idea that at
most any sort of kitchen slop is good
enough for a hog, and it is a common
thing to give them stale, sour slops
that have stood fbr. hours. But this
should, never he. done. Let their food
be wholesome and sweet, whether ob
tained from kitchen or dairy; let it be
fresh and clean.
A hog will drink almost any kind of
water; but do not conclude that, be
cause mud and filth are natural to
him, s he will thrive on them. StaJ^
surface water breeds, the germs of
cholera and other diseases, and hogs
that are allowed to use it are liable to
contamination. Give them clean tfatsr
in something so arranged that they
cannot gdt their feet into it.
Corn should not be supplied too
bountifully, as its tendency is to over
heat the animals. When fed sparing
ly and along with grasses, it makes an
excellent ration.
A farmer who is looking for good
results rom his swine, will not allow
them to run and feed along the
public highways, where the germs may.
be conveyed to them by diseased hogs
that- have previously gone that way.
The best way to Bave a.herd in which
cholera has appeared, & to immediate*
fy separate the well from the sick.
The old saying is "an ounce of pre
ventive is worth a pound of cure."
Men of , large experience have given
their endorsement to Chioro-'Naptho-
leum as a cheap, powerful and xkhv
poisonous disinfectant.
The use of this excellent remedy
applied externally keeps down lice,
and when mixed with the water and
food proves an excellent internal medl.
cine.
Another important thing in the. oare
of- hogs l‘s to see that they have good
bedding, often renewed^ &o ale to keep
ft as clean as possible. As soon as
the old. bedding has been removed ahd
burned, the premises should be well
disinfected with Chloro-Napthoieum,
or some other good disinfectant.
Many cures have beet} tried for hog
cholera, but the sur'est relief from this
dread scourge lies in prevention. There
are many good disinfectants. One
of the best is Chloro-Napthaleum, and
the free use of lime. A good solution
is 40 or 50 parts of water to one of
Chloro-Napthoieum. Take a large
bucketful of this solution and thor
oughly spray the animals and sprinkle
the floor of the feeding pen.
The Bacteriologist of the Iowa State
Board of Health in May, 1898, made
the following statement as to hog
cholera:
“This organism was found to be
especially susceptible to the action of
dhloro-Naptholeum:
“One part in 250 killed growing cul
tures In ten hours. One part in 600
prevented development.
“Dry, but virulent, preparations of
this germ were killed in 24 hours by
immersing in water containing one
part in 400.”
Always remember that in the rais
ing of hogs cleanliness and careful at-
tention are very necessary to secure
the best results, both as to the health-
fulness of the animal and the result
ing excellence of his flesh for food.

Which Way Are We Educating.

To the careful observer and' About 4,475,000 persons are

world over in 1900.
—are we educating toward the
farm or away from it? We look
at our primary schools, our high
schools, and do we not see the
tendency almost wholly against
the farm? There is a remarkable
development and interest in ag
ricultural education in Europe,
where it is common for agricul
ture to be taught in every grade,
from the primary school through
the college, t
What is the tendency in this
agricultural nation of ours? Too
often, we fear, away from the
farm. The common school re
cruits the academy, the college,
the university; but does it recruit
the agricultural and mechanical
college,'or .do what it ought to re
cruit the ranks of good farmers?
May we not hope the time is near
at hand when agriculture will be
taught not only in the common
schools, but the high schools as
well?
This is pre-eminently an agri
cultural country, and yet our
schools teach anything and every
thing but agriculture, all of our
education seeming to tend in ex
actly the opposite direction from
that of the farm.
Agricultural education is con
sidered of the upmost importance
in all the co'untries of Europe,and
is an important part of the school
course from the primary grade to
the senior claseesa. How much
more important such a course of
instruction is in America, whose
whole future may be said to de
pend upon the intelligent use of
the varied soils and climate.
Governor Hoard says: “Is there
any good reason why this farmer’s
school, the country school, should
hot teach the farm boy the ele
ments of agriculture; give him
some knowledge of the technical
terms he must meet in farm jour
nals and farm books, and start
him on the road to larger study
and stronger love for farm live,
and thus save him from deserting
the farm? All over Europe there
is a great revival of agricultural
education in the primary schools;
when that is done here, you will
have larger use and destiny for
the experiment station and the
agricultural college.”—Dr. C. W
Burkett, in Agricultural Educa
tion.
The Marks On The Packages.
German citizen of New Lebanon,
Ohio, is a constant reader of the
Dayton Volkszeitung. ^He knows
that this paper aims to advertise
only the best in its columns, and
when he saw Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm advertised therein’for lame
hack, he did not hesitate in buy
ing a bottle of it for his wife,who
for eight weeks had suffered with
the most terrible pains in her back
and could get no relief. He says:
“After using the Pain Balm for a
few days my wife said to me, ‘I
feel as though born anew,’ and ;
before using the entire contents
of the bottle the unbearable pains
had entirely vanished and she
could again take up her house
hold duties,” He is very thank
ful and hopes that all suffering
likewise will hear of her wonder
ful recovery. This valuable lini

The Philadelphia Times tells of
the “break” made by a tot of the
family who was one of a party of
little girls at a recent strawberry
festival in the vacinity of her
home.
She had been valiantly boasting
of the manifold advantages of
belonging to her family, and had
managed to hold her own against
the vainglorious and ingenuous
discourses of her companions.
They had gone from clothes to
personal appearances, then to in
terior furnishings, then to the
number of tons of coal consumed
in the home of each during the
last winter, and finally , brought
up parental dignity. The minis
ter’s little girl boasted: “Every
package that comes for my pa is
marked ‘D. D.!’ ” “An’ every,
package that comes to my pa is
marked‘M. D. l’ ” reported the
daughter of a physician of the
neighborhood. Then came a fine
snort of contempt from the hero
ine of this ancedote. “Huh!”
she exclaimed. “Every package
that comes to our house is marked
‘O.O. D.!’ There, now!”
