Alarm Clock for Feeding Horse. 
In answer to your inquiry about feed¬ 
ing horses by alarm clock, will say that I 
worked for a grocer many years who gave 
his horses their morning feed in this way. 
The grain and hay were fed from second 
story, and after feeding at night, a plat¬ 
form that fitted loosely inside the chute 
and fastened on one side by hinges was 
brought up into a horizontal position and 
rested on a spring catch, which was in¬ 
serted in the wall of the chute. The grain 
and hay for morning were then put on 
this platform. A string or wire from 
At.arm Clock Feeding Device. 
each catch was connected with a weight 
at a convenient height on wall of horse 
room back of horses. A cheap alarm clock 
was used, and when the alarm winder 
was in a horizontal position it held a 
lever which in turn held the platform on 
which the weight rested. When the alarm 
went off the lever was released, the plat¬ 
form dropped and the weight sprung the 
catches allowing the feed to drop to the 
horses. I am afraid this isn’t very plain, 
hut the arrangement was very simple and 
worked splendidly. It is shown in dia¬ 
gram. EVERETT A. COLE.

Pigs on Shares. 
The answer to Q. M. H. in regard to 
“Pigs on Shares,” page 371, seems to me 
most unfair. Here it is: 
It would seem that if party No. 1 furn¬ 
ished a bred sow, and party No. 2 fed 
and cared for same, and fitted the pigs 
for market in the Fall, when the animal 
was ready for the market, party No. 1 
would be entitled to have the bred sow 
returned to him, and in addition should 
have one-half of the selling value of the 
pigs marketed. 
I give you my opinion of how such a 
plan would figure out, and I hope some 
other pig raisers will write. The cost 
of keeping pigs and the price of pork of 
course varies in different sections, but the 
figures that I give are from my experience 
in this locality. I give the cost of keep¬ 
ing sow one year as $30, if there is no 
pasture, if the sow is kept in good con¬ 
dition it will cost more. I am figuring 
on a litter of eight which is a good big 
average.

Immunized Hogs. 
I lost 24 hogs with cholera and in¬ 
jected serum in 14 and saved six out of 
34. Should I use the serum again? 
These pigs were with the ones that were 
sick. J- a. IT. 
New Jersey. 
If the animals referred to were treat¬ 
ed with hog cholera serum, and provided 
they were confined in the same quarters 
or premises with other animals that were 
actually sick from cholera, it is very 
probable that the animals that recovered 
are permanently immune, and will main¬ 
tain such immunity through life. The 
serum alone treatment is only a prevent¬ 
ive measure, and it is common practice 
in some of the Western States to inject 
serum in all well hogs, and then turn in 
with this group of animals a number of 
animals infected with the cholera and 
actually sick with the disease. In part 
it is on the same principle of the double 
treatment; that is. where serum and vir¬ 
us are used simultaneously for the pur¬ 
pose of perpetuating permanent im¬ 
munity. 
I would not advise .7. A. II. to use any 
more serum with those animals that sur¬ 
vived after being treated with the serum, 
and after being confined or associated 
with the hogs actually sick with the dis¬ 
ease. The pens, however, should be thor¬ 
oughly cleaned and disinfected in order 
to make sure that the disease germs are 
not harboring in the pens. The pigs 
that might be farrowed by such animals 
are not immune unless treated simultane¬ 
ously with the serum and virus. For 
this reason it is advisable thoroughly to 
cleanse the premises to make sure that 
the cholera germs have been destroyed. 
It is very probable that the loss of 28 
hogs out of 34 animals can be accounted 
for by the supposition that the bulk of 
the animals were sick before the serum 
was injected, and consequently was of 
no use. f. c. minkleb. 
Bitter Cream. 
I have made butter for a good many 
years, and have been troubled, as I see 
others have, in Winter, when cows are 
on dry feed. At times the cream, not 
more than 24 hours old. will taste bitter. 
Being raised by cold setting, by the time 
a churning is gathered there will be a 
decidedly rank flavor, utterly spoiling the 
butter. I have found the cause ; the milk of 
a stripping cow, one within two months 
or less of freshening gives the flavor and 
the cure is to pasteurize the cream, heat¬ 
ing up to 145 or 150 degrees by a dairy 
thermometer, then cool the cream and stir 
till down to about 65 deg. When a 
churning is gathered put in a starter of 
buttermilk, and ripen ; the butter will be 
as sweet as June butter. c. o. n.
