inmoFiw •: ■iiiiiir . v . . .f . ■ • } ■ \ ' ‘ V Frank Statement to the Growers of Hogs in the Corn Belt Which Covers Diseases of the Hog That Respond Readily to Treatment of Celebrated Wonder Stock Powders Adopt a System of Caring for These Little Animals, Everywhere Known as Mortgage Raisers, by Taking an Inventory of Your Hogs Every Monday Morning What we, the U. S. Chemical Company, claim are the causes of so many diseases hogs are afflicted with, by government reports and by experimenting we find that ninety-seven per cexit. of all the diseases known to the hog family originate directly or indirectly through worms. This being true when you get an article that will keep your hogs absolutely free from worms and parasites, you will have them free from 97 per cent, of all the diseases; then by purifying the blood, cleaning and sweetening the stomach and suppressing the fever, you will have the animal in a condition to resist the other three per cent of the diseases in case they come in your community. We, the U. S. Chemical Company, positively guarantee to have a positive worm destroyer. We are “putting out an all Drug Compound; not an ounce of food or filler is used in these goods, and we will positively guarantee to show results in from twelve to eighteen hours after feeding, in the way 4 of expelling worms and cleanifig out the system. By feeding a little of these powders once or twice a week you will keep your stock in a perfectly healthy condition, and you need have no fear of the dreaded diseases known to the hog family, such as hog cholera and swine plague, etc. Not only that, you will also have your hog’s stomach in a condition so that it will extract ten to twenty per cent, more of the fatting properties of the grain than they would without the use of the powders, thereby giving you the returns on your investment.

The Democrat has printed bills for the following public sales: Tuesday, Jan. 9, J. P. Hartsook, 4 miles north of Aix, on the old John Swartz farm. General sale oT horses, cattle, hogs, farm tools, e 7“. Tuesday, Jan. 23, G. H. Hillis, John J. Totten and- A. B. Tolin,! at the residence of G. H. Hillis, 6 miles northwest of Mt. Ayr. Big stock and implement sale; 38 head of horses, 62 head of hogs, 125 head of cattle. A lousy hen is always a poor layer. | Make the by-products of the dairy count Corn will make hens fat but it WITT not make them lay eggs. The better bred the horse is, the more generally useful he is. _ 'I For fall feeding of dairy cattle sweet cormis exceedingly valuable. The separator needs to be set perfectly level on a solid foundation. The feed bill of the poultry yard j can be cut in two if you know how. Continued care in handling the 1 dairy products is the price of success. I Thu value of silage as the cheapest and best succulent for cattle and hogs is fully established' Regularity in feeding and milking w|ll go a long ways towards making dairy work successful. All milk utensils should be heav- | ily tinned and as free from seams as it is possible to' get them. Many of the irregularities in the health of the farm stock can be traced to injudicious feeding.

Wooden pails readily absorb- milk particles, making it almost impossible to keep them sweet and clean. The hatching-egg trade and the raising of stick for breeders have assumed the dignity of specialties. It is to the poultryman’s interest 'to keep his stock up’ to the best type, healthy and vigorous all the time. A cold rain, fall or spring rain, will check the milk flow as much as a snow storm if, the cows are exposed. It will be noticed that though the prices of other farm stock are falling off, the dairy cow still holds her own. In hot Weather lice breed'in pigeon houses by the million and extra dare must be taken t;o keep down the ver-_ »in. , Rats in a pigeon house not only destroy the young but their presence frightens the birds so that they'will not thrive. If one has a large flock of sheep much time will be saved and better results obtained by the use of the machine clippers. Sheep are extremely nervous and when being fattened for market they must be quiet mad free from sudden alarm which will cause excitement. Pigeons hatched in March are matured and ready for breeding in July and if the surroundings are congenial will continue to breed every month thereafter. ,
