Hog Cholera 
My hogs have had the hog cholera. Can 
you give me a good disinfectant to spray 
the hog-house, and how long before T can 
keep any hog in it? , o. E. 
Pennsylvania. 
A 1-30 solution of compound cresol so¬ 
lution in water makes an effective disin¬ 
fectant. or use a solution of 5 oz. of 
formaldehyde to a gallon of water. The 
premises cannot be made perfectly safe 
for new hogs. They should be vaccinated 
before entering the infected premises. 
Vomiting 
What ails my brood sow? As soon as 
she eats she vomits nad continues to eat 
and vomit all she eats. It has been six 
weeks since this trouble began and she 
is getting very thin. b. g. 
Virginia. 
We fear that a sharp object, such as a 
wire or nail, transfixing the stomach wall 
or diaphragm and heart may be causing 
this trouble. If so. it is incurable. An 
ulcerated condition of the lining of the 
stomach is another cause and also may 
prove incurable. Feed the sow on milk 
and limewater, and give 20 grains of sub- 
nitrate three times daily until vomiting 
ceases. Triple sulpho-carbolate tablets, 
20 grain, two or three times a day should 
be given if bismuth does not suffice. Let 
her have plenty of exercise and free access 
to Alfalfa or clover hay if she improves.

A single-barrel gun might be the proper 
weapon to carry when out with this two- 
year-old rabbit-imitating dog and if one 
discharge sends his home, better load up 
and give him the next dose who ■ you 
meet up with him again. Joking apart, 
we know of no cure for a gun-shy dog 
and a hunter cannot afford to fuss' with 
such a nou-ethical pup.

UTILITY IS NOT SACRIFICED FOR PRICE 
The Power of a 
Correct Principle 
- The principle of doing all field oper¬ 
ations with one man sitting where he 
can watch his work is correct, or farm¬ 
ing has always been done backward, 
and the operator would always have 
ridden or led his horses instead of 
driving them. 
The Moline Universal Tractor places the power of nine big horses 
where the horses stoou - ’ driven Just like horses are driven, from 
the seat of the implement, ana hitched up to the implements just 
like horses are hitched. 
NOTE —If desired you can use the “drag behind” or 
horse drawn implements you now have with the Mo¬ 
line Universal the same as with other types of tractors.

Dysentery 
I bate four Angora kittens that have a 
had bowel trouble. They were taken sick 
witli what we supposed was distemper, 
their eyes discharged matter, this lasting 
about three weeks. Before their eyes had 
fully got well this bowel trouble came, 
which has been troubling them for more 
than a month. Vi e were advised to give 
them strong coffee for three nights, fol¬ 
lowed by a dose of castor oil. We tried 
this, but they did not get much better. 
Then someone told us to try steeped black¬ 
berry root with allspice and paragorie. 
M e cannot find anything to cure them; 
they will seem better for a few days, 
and we will think they are surely getting 
better, then they will be just as bad as 
ever again. When they were first taken 
we fed scalded evaporated milk and crack¬ 
ers. then for a change we gave them* sal¬ 
mon an , .C!Y.,’ !:ovs, but we thought thev 
seemed a little worse when fed this, so 
we stopped. At present they are having 
baked potatoes with meat gravy, some¬ 
time a little meat ground up fine; they 
also have crackers and cow's milk. Can 
you tell us what to do for them? 
Massachusetts. mbs. j. i„ 
Feed raw scraped beef alone. Twice 
daily put y grain or two of subnitrate of 
bismuth in the mouth and wash it down 
with a very little milk. Increase the dose 
as found necessary. Feed lightly. As 
they improve, boiled milk may be fed, but 
do not give them potatoes, bread or crack¬ 
ers.

Cun you 
young pig 
Pigs Dying 
tell me what ails my litter of 
< >uc pen (teems to be humped 
up a little; eat well and seem lively; have 
a good. dry. clean bed and pen. I feed 
water separated .skim-milk and about two 
quarts of ground spelt, night and morn¬ 
ing. water and ground spelt at noon. They 
dean up this feed in good shape. The 
other pen of eight seems to he all right; 
just a partition between them. I have 
lust three harrows and one sow in about 
TO days. They seem to be all right at 
night and eeat well; in the morning I 
find them dead in their bed. I have bed- 
led them with buckwheat and oat and 
barley straw. a. d. a. 
New York. 
Give the pigs their liberty in a large 
yard or paddock, as they cannot be ex¬ 
pected to remain healthy without exercise. 
Feed wheat middlings, ground barley or 
rye. and some bran and oilmeal. and allow 
free access to clover or Alfalfa hay. 
Shelled Corn and dry tankage from a self- 
feeder may be added when the pigs are 
doing well. Do not use barley straw for 
bedding, and bedding used should be free 
from dust. Have a veterinarian make a 
post-mortem examination if another pig 
dies, as it is possible that cholera or swine 
plague is present, and if so. vaccinating 
should be done against those diseases.
