How Much Horse Power 
in a Case of Dynamite? 
W HEN you blast your ditches 
with dynamite to drain your 
land, you are hooking up with a port¬ 
able power plant—that’s what your 
dynamite case really is. 
Ditching with dynamite today is an 
easy job,—far different from what it 
used to be. 
Swamps and marshy spots can be 
turned into acres of growing crops 
much cheaper, quicker, easier and 
better with explosives power. And 
often cultivated fields can be im¬ 
proved by modern ditching methods. 
Du Pont 50% or 60% Straight Dynamite is 
used by thousands of farmers for draining land, 
because it delivers power at lowest cost and 
does the job right. You just punch and load 
the holes, light the fuse and the explosion 
makes your ditch. 
Send today for free 110-page “Farmers’ Hand¬ 
book of Explosives” which gives full informa¬ 
tion about blasting ditches, stumps, boulders 
and tree-holes. You can buy du Pont dyna¬ 
mite from your local dealer.

Partially Paralyzed Pig 
I have a pig nine weeks old. At about 
six week of age her hind legs seemed 
weak and now they will not hold her 
weight. She appears well, eats well and 
stays fat. When she moves her front 
legs work all right but she drags her 
hind legs. I pulled two black teeth. 
Other pigs in that same litter are start¬ 
ing the same way. E. B. 
Black teeth do not cause such a con¬ 
dition as you have described, nor have 
we been able to find that they ever 
cause any trouble, other than possibly 
lacerating the sow’s teats or the faces 
of other pigs in the litter. There is 
therefore no need of removing black 
teeth, so far as diesase is concerned, as 
they have no significance in that respect, 
but they may be nipped off at birth, when 
canker sores have been prevalent in pigs, 
provided great care is taken not to 
bruise or lacerate the gums by the op¬ 
eration. The filth germ, Bacillus necro- 
phorus, invades bruises and lacerations 
of the gums, other soft tissues of the 
mouth, or the skin about the face and 
muzzle, and causes canker sores and 
“bullnose” or “snout disease” which is 
more serious than ordinary canker and 
often incurable. 
The lameness or loss of control of the 
hind legs in the pig in question is an 
evidence of rickets, or a condition of 
the bones in which mineral matters are 
lacking. In some cases bones break 
readily, especially the shoulder blade, 
through the neck of the bone, or the 
thigh bones. In other cases we find, on 
examination after death, that the bone 
is represented by a gelatinous mass con¬ 
tained in the bone skin, or periosteum. 
This condition of the bones is attributed 
to lack of mineral matters, largely phos¬ 
phate and carbonate of lime, in the pig’s 
feed. The tendency to the disease would 
seem to be hereditary, therefore it is un¬ 
wise to breed from affected stock. 
Contributing causes are insanitary 
housing, lack of exposure to the direct 
rays of the sun, which have the power, 
through the ultra violet ray, of causing 
bone material to be deposited and phos¬ 
phorus to form in the blood, and to lack 
of certain vitamines of green or dried 
legumes such as Alfalfa, clover, Soy 
beans, peas, etc., which stimulate assi¬ 
milation of lime salts from the feed. 
Worms are also a contributing cause in 
many cases. The disease rarely attacks 
pigs that, from birth, have grazed a suc¬ 
cession of green crops, preferably le¬ 
gumes, and been fed skim-milk and mixed 
meals, such as middlings, ground barley, 
or ground oats screened to remove hulls, 
bran, oilmeal and tankage. The two last 
named feeds are less required when pigs 
are fed legumes and skim-milk. It is 
also important to keep growing pigs well 
supplied with salt, slaked lime or ground 
limestone and wood ashes or steamed 
bone meal. 
On general principles we should ad¬ 
vise you to treat the affected pigs, and 
all of your pigs, to expel worms, in the 
following way: Withold feed for 24 
hours; then give each pig 30 drops of 
oil of chenopodium and half an ounce of 
caistor oil, for each 50 lbs. of body 
weight, by means of a dose syringe or 
from a bottle having a piece of rubber 
tubing attached to its neck. Do .not 
give any strong pig, that is over 50 lbs. 
in weight, less than one ounce of castor 
oil. When the oil has acted move the 
treated pigs into new quarters on grass 
not used by swine since it was seeded 
and there feed as we have suggested. 
To the affected pig, after the worm medi¬ 
cines have acted, give two teaspoonsful 
cod liver oil twice daily and increase the 
dose gradually if not quickly effectual 
in curing the weak condition of the back 
and hind legs. It may be that the treat¬ 
ment will come too late, for the affected 
pig, but the others should escape like 
disease if fed and managed in the way 
we have prescribed. Prevention is of 
paramount importance. If you have had 
similar trouble in the past it would be 
well to fatten the sows, invest in new 
strong stock, and in a boar that is not 
akin, and robust in every way. a. s. a. 
A young five-year-old friend of ours 
who had been permitted to play with a 
neighbor’s dog recently acquired a canine 
animal of her own. “Now,” she an¬ 
nounced with satisfaction, “I have a dog 
of my own—and not just a step-dog!”
