'ECONOMICAL FEEDING OF LITTLE PIGS
mmmmmsBsm.
Of course you must have shelter for
them in storms, and for feeding pur
poses, but let them have access to
the earth keep them on the ground,
and give them green food, and you
will get them to develop bone and
mqscle, and a strong stomach.
They are always on their feed and
always at their feed. I like to have
them out on a clover pasture, or on
peas and rape. For later pastare rape
gives satisfactory results. Of course
you must feed the pigs reasonably at
the same time.
We all know that for economic pro
duction a mixture of several grains
fed together will give better results
than any one grain fed alone.
I cannot lay down a hard and fast
rule. Some seasons oatB might lie
DIPPING HOGS FOR
MANGE AND INSECTS
Effective Mixture Can Be Made
From Crude Petroleum
Treat Whole Herd.
An effective dip can be made from
crude petroleum as follows:
Four gallons crude oil.
Sixteen gallons water.
One pound soap.
The soap should be dissolved la the
water by heating. An emulsion Is
then made by adding the oO and
thoroughly churning the mixture. War
ter In different sections differs very
greatly in the way It will combine
with soap. If this amount of soap
does not give a good emulsion, simply
add more soap. Avoid oily dips In
cold weather.
While the hogs are taking the dip,
thoroughly clean and then disinfect
the pens. In ease of true mange the
fenceposts, trees and everything
against which the hogs can rub mast
also be disinfected. Use a strong dis
infectant and plenty of It After
treatment do not put hogs back into
lousy or mangy pens.
Doors of Great Importance.
The construction of doors in the
silo Is of the greatest importance. A
good form at construction Is to set
two-by-four pieces, spiked together
on each side of the line of doorway.
They should be placed so that the
edge of the two-by-fours fuse* the
doorway, leaving the flat side for the
doors to rest against In resisting the
pressure from the silage.
Dust Bath for Fowls.
If the fowls are confined, boxes of
fine dust should be provided for them
to roll In. This ic the hen's own rem
edy for lice and It helps a lot Of
course, the dust boxes are not nec
essary when th» hens can get oat and
find plenty of dust for themselves.
But it should be gathered In the fan
and kept handy for the hens In the
winter.
Good 8za for 8lta.
A silo 20 feet In diameter and 49
feet deep will hold twice as mash
as one of the same diameter and 36
feet deep. No silo shoul be leas than
SO feet deep, and to get sufficient
depth for one not over IS feet In
diameter It should be placed about
Ar» feet la the ground.

Hogs Developed by Liberal Feeding.
(By W. R. GILBERT.)
A mistake that -we often make is
that we wean our pigs too young. I
believe in getting the little pigB
started off to eat at three or (our
weeks old, and there is nothing better
than a little milk and shorts to get
them started. Then feed them liber
ally, and by the time yon wean them
at eight or ten weeks old, you have
a big, strong, lusty pig.
1 am satisfied that a great many of
oiff people lose all the profit In the
business by the way they handle the
pigs at the weaning-time. I am a
strong believer in raising the little
pigs out in the open.
Treatment of hogs for mange should
begin with a vigorous scrubbing with
brush, soap and soft water, so as to
remove the crust A variety of coal
tar dips are on the market Most of
these are quite satisfactory if of suffi
cient strength and warm enough
(about 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Do
not boil). The hog should be given a
good, thorough soaking In the dip,
not less than two mlnuteB. The hog
must go under, head and all, at least
once. Treatment muBt usuaHy be re
peated one or more times at intervals
of eight days. Treat the whole herd prater which is given to poultry some
and do It thoroughly.
very satisfactory, but If you get such
a combination as high-priced oats It
would be foolish to advocate them,
especially when we have to purchase
our feed.
During the winter months, in a root
growing country, I believe roots are
a good food and Bhould compose a
large proportion of the ration, and 1
believe in boiling the roots and feed
ing some grain.
Do not load them up with a great
lot of water, feed the roots in rather
a thick batter, and mix in your shorts
and middlings, and whatever grain you
might happen to have.
For the larger pigs pulp the roots
and feed the meal sprinkled on. I
like to take the chill off the food, and
always see that the pigs clean the
trough up, leaving no material In
them.
A great many people make the mis*
take of having food left In the troughs.
Pay particular attention to cleanli
ness, have dry beds and give them
dry straw to lie on.
In the winter months give them
wood ashes and charcoal, and aod
or earth of some kind. Earth seems
to be absolutely necessary to keep
the digestive organs in good condition.
Milk is one of the best things for a
pig.
Nothing lengthens them out like
milk, if properly handled.
PURE WATER SHOULD
BE GIVEN POULTRY
Best of All Substances to Use as
Antiseptic Is Potassium
Permanganate.
The most sure and rapid method by
which infectious diseases of all kinds
are transmitted through a flock of
birds is by means of the water pail
from which they all drink In common.
Furthermore, the water Itself may
come from a contaminated source and
be the origin of infection to the flock.
Finally, it is difficult to devise any
satisfactory drinking fountain in which
the water is not liable to contamina
tion from litter, manure, etc.
All these considerations Indicate the
advisability of adding to all drinking
substance which shall act as a harm
less antiseptic. The best of all such
substances yet discovered for use with
poultry Is potassium permanganate.
This Is a dark, reddish purple crystal
line substance which can be bought of
any druggist It ought never to cost
more than 30 cents a pound and a
pound will last for a long time. It
should be used in the following way.
In the bottom of a large-mouthed
Jar, bottle or can put a layer of potas
sium permanganate crystals an Inch
thldc. This water will dissolve all of
the crystals that It Is able to and will
make a stock saturated solution. As
this solution is used add more water
and more crystals as needed, always
aiming to keep a layer of undissolved
crystals at the bottom. Keep a tpi^'of
stock solution like this alongside the
faucet where the water Is drawn for
the poultry.
Whenever any waterQWtfrawn for
either chicks or aduflKwls add
enough of the stock solu^n to give
the water a rather d&itat. color.
This means one to two Wtspoonftils -of
the stock solution to ten Quarts of'wi
ter. At the same time one

SHOES
Considering Oddities in Rir Sets
of odd shapes in muffs add
something to the spice of Hfe by
way of variety this season. An occa
sional ccmplalnt is voiced regarding
too much "samenesB" ln gown models^
and even in millinery one hears that
there Is a lack of variety in shapes,
but In furs there Is no chance for dis
content on this score.
The most noticeable of the siBf
shapes is the melon muff. Then there
are the barrel muffs, and in their
the plain, round muff, which has
shown that it can "come back." Amnng
the oddest shapes is a triangular muff
with the apex—which happens to be
the bottom—slashed into four silk
lined points. The base of the triangle,
the top of the muff, is curved down
ward. The opening at each end is
bound with contrasting fur.
The combination of two kinds of fur,
of fur and velvet or fur and plush, In
the season's offerings is worth con
sidering. The dark, soft furs, such as
seal, broadtail, and others, make a
rich background for fitch, skunk, er
mine, fox, etc. Velvet serves the same
purpose, and the various, plushes or
"fur cloths" are considered quite hand
some enough to be decorated with the
richest of real skins.
A combination of Hudson seal and

weather and on paved walks are
quite different from those that must
meet sterner demands, like the tramp
on country roads, rain or shine, or
the dally walk to business. Now that
women demand so much in appear
ance and have grown so discrimi
nating as to style and fitness few
shoes are designed for all-round wear.
There Is economy in having three
pairs of shoes for anyone who if
much out of doors. If one of these is
simply for dress the other two pairs,
worn alternately or according to
weather conditions, may be kept In
perfect repair and will give better
service In this way.
Just now the most fashionable boot
for the street has a clotlr top In fawn
oolor tan, or., gray cloth with patent
eolt vamp. Sometlsoee the heel is
covered with cloth, but oftener it Is
a smart Louis bed of leather. The
model shown here tt laced np the
front, where each aide Is faced with a
narrow strip of leather. The stay at
the back Is trimmed In points and the
shoe Is exquisitely made. With thO
very short, narrow underskirts (now
so .much worn with long tonics) this
shoe la elogant and Is worn wtth all
the fashionable dark oolora in aatta.
There are similar shoes that button
at the side lMtead of lacing up the
front
A neat, inconspicuous and service
able shoe for dally wear Is made of
fine, dull mat kid with a wide toe
and Cuban heel of medium height
It Is substantially pot together and
Is very comfortable. It .la designed
for both style and service, and de
serves to be described as sensible.
Two palrs of this kind will prove a
good Investment
For the hardest wnr the second
pair of shoes might be like thoae
where mink skins encircle it The
narrow scarf Is of the seal with mink
skin decoration. Hudson seal, in
broader scarfs and plainer muffs, is
shown having fitch skins posed in
bands on it and this combination has
proved very successful.
The vogue for monkey fur is con
spicuous. Odd, close-fitting collars
of the long hair, and round muffs, are
the most pleasing models In this long,
silky fur. Collars are high and some
times fastened with a metal rose.
Small, swagger waistcoats of velvet
support wide collars of the soft, long
haired furs, like fox, and are some
thing very new. Little vestees of bril
liant brocade or cloth of gold or silver
are set in these waistcoats, and the
combination of velvet brocade and
luxurious furs is irresistible. Long,
soft muffs of velvet with ruffles at
each end are banded with a broad
band of fur at the middle and nar
rower bands where the ruffles are
gathered in at each end. These muffs
look generously warm, reaching up to
the elbows when the hands are in.
Shoes for the Out-of-Doors
These are'only a few of the many
shapes and combinations to be found
in for sets. But they serve to show
that it is allowable to "go as you
please" and as far as you like in the
