VOL. LVIII. INDIANAPOLIS, OCT. 31, 1903. NO. 44 Jzxptvitutk. grpartmjeut HOW TO FEED AND CARE FOR THE BREEDING HOGS THROUGH THE WINTER. Ktep Them Warm and Dry. lsi Premium.—All farmers should knaaw tliat the importance of feeding and earing for breeding hogs through the wittier is not to be under-estimated. First, the nature and well-being of the hog are less understood and less considered than is tin' ease with other stock, resulting from the mistaken idea that the hog can endure all kinals aaf nnieli treatment and yet thrive. Very tew of the millions wi—■ tiiid are spoiled with kinalinss. The greater proportion hare too much of the "raii.t hog ur die" treatment The greateat fm's to the health of the breeding boga iii the northern portions of mir country are cold anal dampness. The haaa,- allil human families are quite simi- :n\ in at least one respect; that is, their need aaf warmth and dry, comfortable bed uln'ii at rest. Again, breeding hogs are sometimes too carefully coddled and cared taar. The brood sow aud boar should hava' an unlimited amount of exercise, to iiasiii'i' hardiness aual vitality, so essential loi ..transmission to their progeny. To s.*. ure sueh fitness of physical condition. i: is not necessary to expose them to storms, and compel them to root acres of grass to obtain their living, but it is better that they spend a gaxid portion of a'.'ia ]i alay "rusticating" for a part of their rood am good blue grass pasture, instead aaf becoming too fiat and flabby in close, confining, ill-smelling pens. Provide good warm quarters, either in a bog barn or small houses, where they i an have a run on pasture; allow but few in sleep together, to avoid piling up and heating and then coming out in the cold with rheuinatsm, fever and chills to follow, at the loss of the owner. Hog beds should be cleaned out and fresh, bright si raw placed in them at least once a week. I should give breeding hogs a mixed ra- tiaan of ground feed, milk, roots, etc., in sufficient quantities to keep them gaining, thereby laying in a reserve force of bone and muscle to insure a strong litter of pigs. Another point in caring for hogs and keeping them in good physical condition is to exterminate lice. I do this by sprinking them with kerosene at least once a month. Also keep a good supply of salt and ashes in their lots. Also arrange watering troughs, convenient to tluir beds, so they will not suffer for water on a c.alal, blustery day when they might not venture out to quench their thirst. I have found it best to keep about fifteen sows to one boar, so that the pigs will be near the same age and size awl feed better together. Breeding the middle nt" Na.vemlaer. the sows will farrow about the break of winter, thus insuring a fine l..t of hogs by September. By separating your sows, from two to three weeks before farrowing, they become acquaint- eal with their new surroundings, and by this means yon will avoid accidents. By feeding and caring for breeding hugs through the winter in this way, I am well pleased with the result in the spring. M. E. K. I la nd ricks Co.

The decision is an important one f-.r the tem- peraace element in Indiana, since it large- la guards againat the sudden changes of mind aan the part of remonstrants who ara* frequently subjected to ; in- from saloon influence at the last moment. The Tunnel Mill. Editors Indian. Parmer: The Tunnel Mill is located on the Mus- kuekatuck Biver, near Vernon, Jennings county. The exact date of its construction is uncertain, but was not far from 1830. A lady now living in Vernon at the age of 81 says it was completed when she was abont 10 years old. It was built by Mr. Ailing, of Madison and Ebenezer Baldwin, of Vernon. Mr. Ailing died about the time of its completion and the mill was operated for many years by Mr. Baldwin. It could be run by water or steam power. Near Vernon the Muskuckatuck Biver makes several great loops, returning, af- tar a flow of a number of miles, within a few rods of its former course and separated from it by a narrow rocky ridge. The mill is on one of these ridges with the river on both sides and with a steep rocky hill between it and the upper course of the river. A stone dam about 8 feet high was built across the upper course of the stream and a few rods above the dam a tunnel was made through the solid stone under the hill to conduct the water to the mill and on to the lower course of the stream. The tunnel is about 2,">0 feet long and P (est wide and 8 feet high. A huge overs-hot wheel was first used, but was replaced many years ago by a turbine. The Tunnel Mill was built several years before thare was any railroad in Indiana and was one of the finest of that time. Its flour was shipped by river to Cincinnati anal Pittsburg, and had a great reputation. In 1865 the mill engine was used to other machinery still in place. A. E. _______ Jennings Co.
