AN ORCHARD FOR HOG PASTURE. 
I have an old orchard 1% acres, good 
heavy sod, more or less gravelly I wish to 
fence the lot and make a hog pasture of it. 
What is the best crop to put in for the 
pigs, vetch, Alfalfa, or to make two lots 
of it so as to keep it green? r. A. w. 
Cazenovia, N. Y. 
It seems to me that P. A. W. can do 
no better than to sow at least an acre of 
his orchard to rape and the remaining 
one-half acre to Alfalfa, provided Al¬ 
falfa will grow well on his farm. If he 
has never trie'd' to grow it he should 
make plans at once to get it started in 
this orchard. Alfalfa is the first thing 
in the Spring to make a green bite, and 
as it takes nearly two months for rape 
to get large enough to turn into, much 
time would be lost waiting for it. Al¬ 
falfa will be ready as soon as it is warm 
and dry enough to turn stock out. Rape 
is a surface feeder, and requires lots of 
moisture or it will not produce a profit¬ 
able crop. Alfalfa, on the other hand, 
sends its roots deep in the soil for mois¬ 
ture, and docs not depend so much on 
the amount of rainfall. It would have 
been much easier to secure good stands 
of both rape and Alfalfa if this land had 
been plowed last Fall. Rape seed is 
very small and a good seed bed should 
• be made for it; as it requires only three 
pounds to the. acre every seed should 
grow. The seed costs about eight cents 
a pound. I have had no personal experi¬ 
ence with vetch, but from reports that 
come from those, who have tried it it 
seems as though rape would be much 
more profitable. Vetch seems to be hard¬ 
er to get started than does Alfalfa. It 
requires about a bushel of seed to the 
acre, costing from 10 to 12 cents per 
pound. If this orchard is like the ma¬ 
jority of orchards in this vicinity it 
would pay P. A. W. a big interest on 
the cost to have the trees thoroughly 
trimmed so as to let the sunlight in. 
By following the method outlined above 
he would not be able to pasture the one- 
half acre of Alfalfa this season, but by 
sowing barley at the rate of three pecks 
to the acre he could harvest enough to 
pay all costs. There seems to be quite 
a prejudice as to pasturing Alfalfa, but 
with a good ring or two in every pig’s 
nose and the lot not pastured too close 
it will do no harm. c. i. hunt. 
PARASITES IN HORSES. 
I see in the “Ailing Aninial" column a 
man in Maine wishes to know how to cure 
worms and hots; I can give you a cure 
for hots. It is a very simple recipe, 
but it is effectual. We had a mare that 
had the hot colic, and thought a number 
of times she would not live through it. My 
uncle is a veterinarian and he told us to 
drench daily for three days with strong 
sourlcraut juice, one quart daily, and if one 
application does not seem a sufficient cure, 
repeat as often as needed. Feed just the 
same as before. v. w. b. 
Ohio. 
It is a well-known fact that hots in the 
stomach of a horse do not cause colic. In 
a very few instances one of the two va¬ 
rieties of hots may occasion discomfort when 
they are passing from the intestine and 
happen to hook on to the lining membrane 
of the rectum. It also is a very well-known 
fact that no medicine can safely be given 
by the mouth that will destroy hots in the 
stomach without also killing the horse. We 
have seen hots live for many days in a 
strong solution of formaldehyde and abso¬ 
lute alcohol does not kill them quickly. It 
is just possible that hots may be given 
dyspepsia or indigestion or caused to faint 
and let go their hold. If anything could 
cause such effects it surely would be sour- 
kraut juice! This is a new one. Iloch der

Weaning Foal. 
I have a mare with colt 4% months old. 
The mare is getting very poor, and the colt 
Is growing well. The colt eats everything; 
I would like to wean it on account of the 
mare getting .thin, but she has plenty of 
milk yet. Would it hurt to wean the colt? 
I feed my mare cotton-seed meal, dried brew¬ 
ers’ grains and cob corn. Do you think 
dried brewers’ grains good for a colt? 
New Jersey. s. B. 
It would be best to lessen the milk flow 
before weaning the foal. Stop feeding the 
cotton-seed meal and brewers’ grains to the 
mare. Substitute whole oats and a little 
corn along with hay. Let her run out doors 
as much as possible and work her daily. 
When the milk lessens wean the foal at 
once and be done with it. Then strip the 
milk away partially two or three times a 
day, as long as found necessary, and rub the 
udder with camphorated oil at same time. 
Feed the foal on oats, four parts; bran, one 
part; dried brewers’ grains, one-quarter 
part along with mixed hay. a. s. a. 
Paralysis, 
I have a thoroughbred Shopshire ram 16 
months old, which has been running on a 
clover pasture with about 20 others. About 
seven weeks ago lie became weak in his 
hind legs. After a short time he began 
using his hind legs again, and became 
weak in front legs. Now he cannot stand 
at all, but crawls along on the ground. I 
have been feeding the flock a grain ration 
of eight quarts of oats and one quart of 
wheat once a day. lie eats and drinks and 
seems perfectly well in every other way. 
Do you think he will get well? What can 
I do to help him? o. M. D. 
Michigan. 
It is improbable that the ram will re¬ 
cover at the present stage, but timely treat¬ 
ment have prevented complete paralysis. 
We are unable to state what has caused the 
condition. It sometimes is induced by con¬ 
stipation and the irritation of intestinal 
parasites. Pressure upon the spinal cord 
would be an even more likely cause. 
Thriftless Pig. 
I have a hog about seven mouths old; 
when about two months old it would fall or 
sit down and squeal as though in severe 
pain. It still has those spells; will fall 
down and squeal very loud and sharp. Its 
back is humped up. It does not grow or do 
well; it is not half as large as its mate of 
the same litter, but it seems to eat well. 
Can you give me any information what to 
do for it? D. o. s. 
Pennsylvania. 
We suspect that the pig has rickets, in 
which condition the bones lack the proper 
proportion of mineral matter. It will not 
be likely to prove a profitable animal. 
Give it a teaspoonful of turpentine in slop 
each morning for five days and repeat the 
following weak. Feed on slop made of 
middlings, cornmeal, bran, ground (sereened) 
oats, and 10 per cent of digester tankage. 
Once daily leave out the tankage and mix 
limewater with the slop at rate of one 
ounce per quart. Allow free access to salt, 
wood ashes, charcoal and slaked lime.
