Ameo (Contributed by Onterio Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) During midsummer owners of light coiored pigs frequently -complain of sunburn or sunsecald. .This condition of the hide of the animal is similar to that of people; it ves the same degree of uncomfertableness to ihe pig and is caused in the same man- i ner. Consequently, the same method | of prevention and treatment may be carried out. Shelter Is Most Desirable. In the first place, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," and the prevention is shelter. No matter what kind of stock is in the pasture, shade is essential, and much more so is it for pigs on account of the thin coating of hair on their bodies. If the pasture fer pigs is so situated that there are no irees to afford shade to the animals it | would be just as well to keep them shut up during the hottest paris of 'the day and allow them to run out | during the evening, night and early morning hours. By keeping them in a pen that is somewhat darkened, { they miss both the hot rays of the sun and the flies that are always so bad around a stable of any kind, | during the hot weather. : Give Them a 'Hog Wallow." Some people provide a "hog wal- low" in their pasture which is a very good thing, but the location should be some place in the shade, as it is a well-known fact that the hide will blister far quicker when wet than when dry. A pig seems to think that a wallow is. an essential thing, and if he persuades the farmer into inipking the same, the farmer should him to believe that during the = of the day is the best time to keep out of it. Vaseline Good for Sunburn. If the pigs have become sunburn- ed' at all, it is well to keep them inside for a few days and thoroughly grease their bodies, with some nice smooth grease such as vaseline. The grease tends to keep the air from the irritated skin and ease the un- comforiableness of the animal. Vase- line also has a wonderful healing and curative property which makes it preferable in such cases.--J. C. McBeath, O. A. College, Guelph. Brood Cows In Winter as Cheaply as Possible. During the winter the brood sows should be maintained as cheaply as possible, but at the same time they must be properly fed in order to far- row a large. number of healthy, well-grown pigs in the spring. Best results are obtained when sufficient food is given to produce daily gains on the sows of one-half or three- fourths of a pound. To do this the grain feed must be limited, and di- luted with some roughage, for unless che ration has sufficient bulk, the sows: will become congtipated and hungry, due to the undistended con- dition of the digestive tract. Legume hays are the chief roughages avail- able at this season, and their use will cheapen the cost of feeding. Alfalfa Excellent for Feed. Either alfalfa, clover, soy-bean, or cow-pea hay makes an excellent roughage, and when fed, little or no high-priced protein concentrate is needed to balance the corn. Bright, leafy alfalfa hay gives the best re- sults of any of these roughages. Alfalfa meal is simply the best grade of alfalfa hay chopped into a meal. Clover hay contains almost as much nourishment as alfaifa hay, and SOye- bean hay, cut and cured when ¥hel beans are almost ripe, is a very nu- | tritious feed. Cowpea hay should be cut when the first Pease are ripen- ing and consequently does not have as high food value as soy-bean hay. Great care must be exercised in cur- ing soy-bean and cowpea hay, for the gsialks are very heavy and suc Keep Best Dressed Doll --Hazel MeceGogy.
