TWO NOTES ON HOG MANAGEMENT 
Killing Hog Lice 
Your reply to E. G.. New Jersey, page 
924, who inquires for method of eradicat¬ 
ing lice from hogs is so impractical and 
ineffective that we are inclined to com¬ 
ment. Coal-tar products are not effective 
in combating hog lice. They have no 
effect on the nits, and therefore compel 
successive treatments. Hog oilers are in¬ 
effective because they fail to reach the 
places where the lice congregate. We 
maintain at all times a herd of 400 to 
500 Berkshire*, and would not permit the 
installation of hog oilers on the farm if 
there with no expense to us. They are 
useless and only in the way. Coal-tar 
products, properly used, are excellent for 
sanitary purposes and in combating dis¬ 
ease. but of little use against lice, 
The following will be found the most 
practical, economical and effective treat¬ 
ment.: Drive Hip hogs to be treated in 
a box stall or pen which has been well 
bedded down with straw. Sprinkle them 
thoroughly with crude oil (crude pe¬ 
troleum). which costs not to exceed 20c 
per gallon. Leave them there for two 
hours, so that they rub against each 
other and some oil drips on the. bedding 
and thereby gets on the hogs’ bellies, 
between the legs. etc. Drive them back 
to their lot, run in another bunch of hogs 
and repeat treatment. They should be 
crowded in as small a space as possible. 
Sprinkle nests and old pens with crude 
oil. This not only will serve to eradicate 
the lice, but will keep down dust in their 
quarters. The crude oil will destroy the 
nits as nothing else.. will, and is more 
effective in destruction of lice than any¬ 
thing else. We have tried everything, 
and the above advice is from 25 years' 
experience in the handling of the largest 
herd of swine in the East. 
Pigs on Clover 
We want to criticise the reply to 
.7. J. B. of Connecticut, on page 924. 
Your inquirer mentions the loss of two 
pigs from Moat following a feed of cut 
clover and skim-milk. If the skim-milk 
was fed warm from the separator and 
with froth, that is the probable cause. 
The milk should bo left till the froth dis¬ 
appears. In your reply you advise the 
feeding of sweet skim-milk. Kkirn-milk 
t hut has been permitted to sour will be 
found much better for the pigs. Sweet 
skim-milk is better in theory, but not in 
practice. Your inquirer is advised to 
pasture oats and peas with his pigs. 
That is impractical. We tried it for 
years, as have many others, and have 
given it up. replacing these with rape, 
clover or Alfalfa. The sharp hoof of the 
pig cuts off the tender pea vine, and the 
trampling wastes so many that there is 
not sufficient of the feed per acre to pay 
for seed and labor. Blue grass, rape, 
clover and Alfalfa arc the profitable hog 
pastures, always securing the English 
Dwarf Essex rape as distinguished from 
the Japanese, which is on the market, and 
much inferior. 
Tigs like Soy beans, but they are not 
a profitable crop for pasture, because they 
do not come on and make continuous 
growth as do the others. Therefore, they 
should not be recommended in lattitudes 
where other forage crops can be grown. 
Your advice to feed skim-milk with mid¬ 
dlings, ground rye or barley, oilnn-al and 
I mileage from self-feeder is impractical. 
Pigs on pasture shonld not have access 
to self-feeder, except during last six weeks 
of fattening, and if the pigs have skim- 
milk and a legumiuous pasture, the last 
thing they want is tankage and oilmenl. 
The ration advised would produce a bunch 
of crippled rheumatic pigs. When skim- 
milk or Alfalfa 4s available, corn and 
barley are the feeds par excellence. Over¬ 
feeding of corn has wrought harm in 
Western herds of swine, hut not in the 
East. The whole tendency here is a sur¬ 
feit. of protein, making long-haired, crip¬ 
pled runts. We have hundreds of pigs 
running on clover, wet and dry, and have 
cut and thrown to pigs, all ages, that 
have never had it before, with no loss 
from sueb practice in our herd or under 
our observation in over 25 years.
