WORKING THIi HOG. 
Tin* picture shown on this page illus- 
tmtes what is known as a hog motor, 
sai<l i<> be on exhibition at the Panama 
Paeific Exposition. The plan is to make 
the hogs grind their own feed. As we 
understand it, the whole grain, barley and 
corn, is put in at the top of this mill, 
which revolves slowly, there being grind¬ 
ers at the bottom of it. The hogs reach 
in. and with their rooting and pushing 
their snouts after the grain they slowly 
turn this contrivance around, thus crush¬ 
ing or grinding the whole grain. If any 
one doubts the power in it hog’s snout, 
let him watch it drove of hogs turned 
loose in an orchard where white grubs 
abound. The work they do in ripping up 
the soil is astonishing. Evidently this 
grinder is so arranged that it can only 
be turned in one direction, and the hog 
to the ground, burrows and goes through 
its life history, fly. egg and maggot. 
Many farmers believe that the eggs tire 
laid on the back of the animal, but the 
life history of the insect has been care¬ 
fully worked out its here related. To 
control this insect the grubs must be de¬ 
stroyed. It is well to examine the backs 
of tiie cattle at various times through the 
Winter and as soon as the lumps appear 
squeeze the grub out through the hole and 
kill it instantly. By doing this thorough¬ 
ly, the insect will be kilied out in your 
locality, and this is the only way in 
which it can be fought successfully, so 
do not be alarmed if these bumps appear 
on the old cow's back. Squeeze them 
out with the finger and thumb and kill 
the grub. 
Guernsey Advance. 
In the past .”.0 days there have been 
17 cows in the Guernsey breed which 
completed their second official Advanced 
Register record. These cows, at an aver¬ 
age age of six years and three months, 
Grinding Grain by Hog Power. 
being an animal of intelligence soon finds 
which way it turns; and when he learns 
that a small handful of crushed grain fol¬ 
lows his root, he will keep up the exercise. 
This certainly beats the chicken feeders 
which provide exercise by compelling the 
hens to shake out their own feed. It is 
said that in the great packing houses the 
work has been so perfected that every¬ 
thing connected with the hog is saved ex¬ 
cept his squeal, and even that is some¬ 
times canned in talking machines, and 
used in battle scenes or other terrible 
affairs on flu 1 stage. This device, how¬ 
ever, goes oven further, and utilizes the 
root at the end of a hog’s snout. Before 
you know it some smart man will have a 
drove of hogs in the barn yard working a 
machine of this sort to provide electric 
light and power to run the household, 
light the barn, and perform all the other 
wonders of electricity. Certainly our 
friend the hog has a great future. 
The Ox Warble or Grub. 
Every year at this season we have a 
large number of letters from people, most 
of them back-to-the-landers, who are 
rather frightened at finding big lumps on 
the backs of their cattle. Not having had 
experience with this condition, they think 
something very dangerous must have hap¬ 
pened to the old cow. These lumps are 
caused by the ox warble (llypoderma 
lineata). This insect causes millions of 
dollars of damage each year by making 
holes through cattle hides. They also 
greatly annoy the cattle, and cause them 
to drop off in milk or flesh when the 
warbles are numerous. We have known 
cases where 50 or (50 of these hideous in¬ 
sects were found on one cow. The eggs 
from which these insects hatch are de¬ 
posited by a fly on the hairs growing upon 
the flanks or legs of the cow. This egg- 
laying is done during the Spring and 
Summer. The animal licks them off. and 
the eggs are thus canned into the mouth 
and are hatched at the back of the gullet. 
The young maggots make their way 
through the tissues along the back of the 
animal under the hide. Finally they lo¬ 
cate, and as they grow a large lump forms 
under the skin. This grows until the 
middle or latter part of April, and these 
are the bumps which our back-to-the- 
land friend finds on the back of his good 
old cow. When left alone the insect 
makes its way out from this lump, falls 
produced an average of 11.7N0.5 pounds 
of milk and G00.5 pounds of butterfat. 
Their former records averaged 9123.9 
pounds of milk and 479.16 pounds of but¬ 
terfat at 3VL> years of age, thereby show¬ 
ing an average increase of over 120 
pounds of fat over their former records. 
They are not a selected lot but represent 
all the cows which have completed re¬ 
entry records in the Guernsey breed in 
the past month and are owned by 15 
different breeders in nine different States. 
The average per cent, of butterfat of 
these 17 cows is 5.1 or a little above that 
for the breed. In this connection it is 
interesting to note that large condenser- 
ies are putting more emphasis on the but¬ 
terfat content of the milk they gather 
for evaporation. The ideal milk for this 
purpose is one containing 4% of fat and 
two of the larger companies in Chicago 
are now on a paying basis which gives 
a premium price to the high fat milk. 
Kepaiking Old Silo. —If G. V. 1’., 
Greenwich, N. Y., will plaster inside of 
old silo previous to filling with a thin 
coat of wood pulp plaster, his silo trouble 
will be a thing of the past. The cost is 
but little, any handy man with trowel 
can do the work. Put plaster on smooth 
surface. Hundreds of old wood silos can 
be made good as new by this simple rem¬ 
edy. As fast as you put doors in mix 
little plaster and cover space. c. T. v.
