PREVENTABLE DISEASES
OF HOGS.
Nearly every disease of hogs
can be prevented. Hog Cholera
is practically under control
through the double vaccination
method which must, however, be
done by competent men.^as it is
very dangerous. Information
relative to this disease and
treatment can be furnished by
your State vetinarian.
Worpis in hogs can be pre-
vented by giving, every spring
and fall, several doses of tur-
pentine, a teaspoonful to- 60
pounds weight each day for
three days on empty stomach.
It is best given in sour milk or
other slop. On fourth day you
can give a tablespoon of epsom
salts to 100 pounds weight, mix-
ed in sour milk or slop. .

have mineral matter at all times

This should be placed in shal-
low troughs so that little piga
can get to it all the time, and
the troughs should be covered to
protect the material from bad
weather.
Lice on hogs can be eradicated
by applying along the back of
each hog some crude oil. They
can also be killed by washing or
dipping the hog in coal tar dips,
several of which are on the mar-
ket. The beds and litters of
pigs should always be kept clean
and free from dust.
Hogs should always have
clean, pure water4 to drink.
■They should also have good
clean quarters in which to sleep;
should have hard'floofs espec-
ially where they, are fed, other-
wise they eat filth and- dirt
which is often the cause of sick-
ness. Unless -one provides
measures such as'these and also
graduating time.
Rice is now in its second
year, with an attendance that
is considerably larger than that
of the opening session. The new
dormitory is merely a step in
preparation for the still larger
student body that will come next
fall. As many do not under-
stand, Rice did not begin full-
fledged. It was the desire of
of the faculty and trustees that
the first graduating class should
be a Rice class, so its first year
was confined to the instruction
of the freshmen. In the second
year,the present, the doors were
opened a little wider and admis-
sions were confined to those who
could enter either the freshman
or sophomore class, thus it will
go until the doors are opened
wide in the fall of 1915,when the
attendance will be as such as to
command attention in educa-
tional circles everywhere.
No time is being lost in pre-
paring the institution as it ap-
proaches the period of complete
operations. The domitory de-
mands are to be anticipated, the
class room and the laboratory
demand are being met as rapidly
as needed, and all things essen-
tial to the progress, achieve-
ments, comfort and happiness
of the student life are being sup-
plied systematically and abund-
antly. There is a symmetri-
cal development of the institu-
tion in every department of its
operations.
Rice is not only to blossom in-
to a university of the first class,
but it is independent in a finan-
cial sense for all time to come.
Its rich endownment is ample
for all purposes, present or pro-
spective Current revenues are
abundantly taking care of the
policy of rapid expansion that
is in progress and the physical
plant is so substantial that ;t
may be reasonably expected to
outlive that of any similar in-
stitution now existing in the
Southern States.
We mention the splendid un-
inside of box. Over thfs light Srazing c*>ps for the animals he
covering is placed a heavy cov-
ering best made by filling a sack
with sawdust and flattening it
out until it is about two inches
in thickness. Cotton hulls may
be used in place of the sawdust*
or even a piece of1 old thick com-
fort may be folded and placed
so that it will cover all the
grains about evenly. Then the
whole contents of the box
will find it very unsatisfactory
and unprofitable undertaking to
raise hogs.—Dr. E. M. Ranck in
The Progressive Farmer.
