eiervi-rf-d at all tiuiA to keep their
sleeping- quarters free from dust.
Many bo(r die annually from pneu
monia and other dincates of the
lnnirs, but the cause, i generally
attributed to cholera or swine
plagTie. Hogs that are compelled to
kleep in dusty Ih'iIs, and every time
they breath take into their lunjrs more
or less dust, can not thrive. We notice
this quicker in young figs where the
sow is allowed to haTe her bed around
an old straw stack. I consider dust
one of the worst enemies that young
pigs have to contend with. Their
bed should lie removed once or twice
a week, and each time sprinkle a little
disinfectant over it. Air-slacked lime,
crude carbolic acid and sulphuric acid
are all good and cheap disinfectants.
The best breeders seem to differ in
tl. ir opinion as to what make the
best floor and bedding. 1 have
found that where the houses are
permanent the most satisfactory
floors to me bare been good, well
packed clay. In the fall 1 dig up and
haul out about six inches of the old
floor and till in w ith fresh clay and
pack well. Where the houses are mov
able this is not necessary. And for
bedding, 1 have used this past w inter
shredded fodder w ith the greatest sat
isfaction. Sunshine u almost impor
tant as good air. The houses or stalls
should face the south, and have a win
dow, if possible, and if uot, then so
that the doors can be left oen for the
sun to shine in.
The next thing in importance to good
quarters is good, pure water. With
the human family many diseases are
directly traceable to the use of impure
water. It does not follow by any
means that because a supply of water
is from a spring, that it is pure and
fixe from various microbes. Our best
physicians tell us that there is no pre
ventive equally as effective as drinking
pure filtered cistern water. I am so
thoroughly convinced of the impor
tance of giKHl, pure water, that w hile I
have on my place one of the best
springs in Kentucky. I hope soon to
have all of my lots supplied with cis
tern water only. Is it strange thut
many hogs die annually when they are
roiniielied to wallow in and drink the
vilest of water? Some people seem to
think thut water ia all right for a
hog if it ia only wet.
In this day of chenp petroleum it
seems to me to be almost criminal in a
man to allow his hogs to be loaded
down with lice. I.ice always seem to
me to be a forerunner of diseuse. They
seem to thrive best on a sick hog. or it
may lie that a hog can not thrive and
the lice also. I have found nothing so
effective against this pest as crude
petroleum, w ith a little crude carbolic
acid added. A regular application of
this once a week is sure death to lice.
Kvcry man must lie his own judge as
to what is best for him to feed. What
is most available and cheapest in one
section of the country may be entire
ly loo expensive in another section.
Hut there are some things that are
available to all and are at all times
necessary. Salt, charcoal, wood ashes
and slack coal should be kept w here
the hogs cun go to it as they want. I
have seen some farmers who thought
it never necessary to salt their hogs.
Whatever may be the principal food
used a change of diet occasionally is
very beneficial and will w het up their
appetites.
In this latitude there is no reason
why wc should not always have some
thing green for our hogs. They Hre
by nature gniwrs.and nothing so regu
lates the bowels and is relished by
them as a fresh pasture of clover, blue
grass or rye.
A mistake that is probably mads by
more people than any other one is that
of overcrowding. Many a person hav
ing done well with one or two sows.
figures it out on paper that he can do
equally as well with ten or twenty, and
immediately stocks up his place with
a large number of hogs. Nine times
out of ten he only sends out and allur
ing invitation to disease and disease
comes. Hogs will not stand too much
crowding, nor do I believe ' that the
same lots ought to be used year after
year without plowing. Nothing so puri
fies the ground like plowing, (live them
a change of pasture; plow the old lots
and let the cultivation, the rain and
sunshine thoroughly disinfect them.
Always have some grazing for your
hogs: don't let more than 15 or 20 be in
one lot together, w atch them closely,
and, if at any time a hog shows any
signs of being off of his feed, immedi
ately remove him in to a separate lot
away from the others.
Ily watching closely, and keeping as
your motto, to prevent disease instead
of curing, I believe yon can expect
generally good results.

plied immediately after the crop is re

may also be applied very early to ad
vantage, as the loss by drainage will
be very slight.
Place no reliance on the natural sup
plies of mint ral fertilizers in the soil.
Some plants, notably oats, seem to
hare the power of foraging extensively
for potash and phosphates, but tobacco
is praticularly helpless in this line. Of
the total phosphoric acid existing in
the soil naturally, about one-third is
available for plant food: of the total
potash, about one-twentieth. It is im
portant therefore to keep these min
erals supplied rather more carefully
than in ordinary farming.
The fertilizer recommended by au
thority conta ns three percent, ammo
nia, ten percent, potash, and seven per
cent available phosphoric acid. Of
this not less than oUO pounds should
be used perr acre. If there is much
humus in the soil, lower the ammonia
to one'per cent The manuring as di

TOBACCO CULTURE.
The Soil Best Adaptmt for Raising Bright
Tobacco.
The authorities agree that a soil
favorable for bright tobacco is very
different from a heavy tobacco soil,
and that a soil of the latter description
can not give a good light tobacco. A
bright tobacco soilcontaines very little
clay and a large amount of sand. The
organic matter is Tery low, less than
one-tenth of what is necessary for a
good heavy tobacco soil.
It is impossible to state exactly the
reasons for these differences in soil ac
tion. One of the principal points is
that a too free supply of moisture is
prejudicial to good bright tobacco, and
a light sandy soil does not hold water
as strongly as a clay soil. The danger
with bright tobacco is a too liberal
supply of ammonia, as the least ten
dency to rankness has a serious effect
on the quality.
Though the ammonia must be guard
ed carefully the mineral fertilizers are
apt to be deficient In a soil of this
type the mineral fertilizers potash
and phosphates are apt to be in
very slightly available forms, while
the ammonia is quickly made useful.
It must be remembered that the tobac
co plant has a very limited power of
foraging for food, and, as it consumes

STABLE MANURE.
It k sf Great Value If Properly Taken Car.
f.
It is the common practice of farmers
to throw manures of all kinds into
heaps and ullow them to stand until
they are hauled to the field. Now, al
most every farmer knows that stable
manure when left untreated will be
come heated and go through a certain
process of fermentation, during which
some gaseous or volatile matter escapes;
they may have noticed, also, that the
use of this manure, after it is "fired
fanged," does not produce as good a
yield as fresh manure. The reason for
this is, that when manure becomes
heated one of the valuable fertilizer in
gredients, ammonia, escapes into the
air and is lost: this, of course, detracts
considerable from the fertilizing value
of the manure.
Stable manure has been and always
will be a popular fertilizer. Those who
have used it continually, however, have
doubtless noticed that stable manure
alone produces an excessive growth of
foliage uuil vines at the expense of
fruit and grain. This is due to the fact
that stable manure in not a well-balanced
fertilizer; it contains too much
ammonia as compared w ith the phos
phoric acid and potash. The action of
the ammonia is to increase the growth
of foliage, hence it is apparent that if
some potash and phosphate are applied
in addition to the stable manure it
will make a much better balanced fer
tilizer.
It has been found recently that by
sprinkling a handful of kainitover the
manure of each grown horse or cow
daily it will prevent the escape of am
monia. This is a very good plan also,
because the kninit adds some potash to
the manure, in which it is usually
deficient. A very popular and profita
ble plan with many farmers is to pre
serve their stable manure through the
use of kninit, and they find that where
about 'J00 pounds of kainit per acre
and l!00 pounds acid phosphate are
used, in addition to a liberal dose of
stable manure, they get much larger
and better returns from their soils,

1 arming and Truck Kalaing.
An old farmer once assured me that
he got rich by making it a rule to bring
away from town more money than he
took to it, ami as he was not a man of
brilliant intellect It follows that any
reader of the l-'armers' Voice should be
able to do as well as he did. This man
always had a large truck patch, a great
nock of chickens, and kept seven or
eight cows, all on 90 acres of land-
preny gooo-sizen tarin in ttic section in
which he lived. He had plenty of
vegetables of nil kinds, berries and
fruits in profusion for his own family
and some to spare. Hissnrplus was all
sold in a town of less than 1,000 people.
and the demand for what he had to sell
was always equal to the supply, for
what he offered was fresh and first-
class.
A great many men think it below
their dignity to deal in such small
things, but it is the way to prosperity
ana comfort and this man was as high
ly respected, and his sons and daugh
ters were given as good an education
as the best schools could afford, and to
day hold high positions in their social
world, every one of them having a com
fortable home, and all is traceable to
the thrift of their father. Too many
farmers do not stop to consider that it
is better to sell theirsurplusof "truck
at the wholesale price than to buy
things they could produce on their own
forms at the retail price.
The farmer who does not have an or
chard and berries and grapes in plen
ty, and a gixxl, large garden, is not
living up to his privileges, and is losing
most of the benefits that may be de
rived Irom a life in the country.
