JERSEY RED PIGS

HE “Jersey Red” breed of swine is growing in favor wherever it has been introduced.
They are large, long-bodied red hogs, which are good feeders, easily fattened and grow
very rapidly when well fed. They are small-boned, vigorous and prolific.

These pigs vary somewhat in color from light sandy to dark red. Pigs grow very

fast when young, and fatten at any age, producing the finest quality of meat.
One farmer raised and slaughtered, in sixteen years, 463 hogs, about twenty-one
months old, that averaged 538 pounds dressed. One erop of eighteen, about the same age, averaged

728 pounds, and dozens of crops of pigs nine months old dressed 300 to 375 pounds average.

Cattle-breeders assert that the bull is half of the herd. It is equally true that the boar has a vastly
important and responsible office to fill as the head of the herd of hogs. Progress in swine-breeding
eannot be made without the intelligent use of good blood infused into the herd every year or two
through the medium of a well-bred boar of outstanding individuality. This is true, whether raising
swine for breeding purposes or for market.

Sometimes it is deemed advisable to cross breeds. When a litter of pigs is to be raised exclusively
for slaughter, crossing is not objectionable, and many careful hog-raisers think it is better, as the result
is often pigs which are fine animals, having good forms, maturing quickly and satisfactorily; but the
pigs, however good they may be, are of little value as breeders. In general, good pure-blood animals
will be found more profitable than either crosses or grades, and I am convinced that the *‘ Jersey Red
Swine’”’ are still in the lead, and will continue to be on account of their many good qualities.

I take pleasure in offering to the public my celebrated pure “Jersey Red Swine,” and do so with
the full assurance that they are superior to any
other breed when bred pure, and will improve any
breed with which they are crossed. They thrive on
little care and respond nobly to eareful treatment.
They have large litters, and the mothers are kind and
gentle to the pigs. It is not infrequent for a young
sow with her first litter to have eight pigs, and with
her second and third to have twelve to fourteen pigs
(enough for one time) and raise all of them.

It is with great pleasure that I offer at this time
the best of my young sows. The older and tried

2 ARTHUR J. COLLINS, MOORESTOWN, N. J.

sows are still in the herd, and are not for sale, and a large number of fine young litters enables me to
offer a grade of sows which are most desirable and which can be bred at any time to suit my customers,
They would be mated to a first-
class boar.

Will you try a young sow
bred, or a pair of pigs eight
to ten weeks old, or a young
boar fit for service ?

I recommend keeping hogs in
clean pens. Hogs are by no meaus
as unclean in their habits as people
gsenerally suppose them to be, and
they should be provided with
whitewashed houses in which the
sunlight is allowed to enter freely,
given plenty of pure fresh water in
troughs, and kept away from mud
wallows and stagnant streams,
which not infrequently inoculate
them with germs of destructive
diseases. Good disinfectants
should be freely used. It is surprising huw much sulphur, wood-ashes and salt will be consumed by
hogs, aiding very materially in keeping them in good condition.

ZE.NOLEUM

Prepared by the Zenner Disinfectant Co., Detroit, /Zich.

As a germicide, cleanser and disinfectant, I am pleased to recommend Zenoleum,
which we have used freely on our pigs and hogs for a number of years, and which is
used and endorsed by forty state agricultural colleges, by leading veterinarians and
Sswine-breeders. It is claimed for Zenoleum that by its constant use cholera will be
prevented. Cholera is caused by a germ of bacterium. These germs are so small as
to be entirely invisible to the naked eye, consequently millions of them may lurk
in small quantities of filth or in small wounds, ete. If these germs are kept out of
the animal’s body there can be no hog cholera. The aim should be to destroy the
germs before they are taken up by the hog. Filth of any kind is a breeding ground
for germs. It should be kept from the troughs, from the ground and from the sleep-
ing quarters, and the pens and runs kept constantly and thoroughly disinfected.

Troughs, floors and walls should be occasionally scrubbed with a two per cent
solution of Zenoleum (one part Zenoleum to 50 parts water). Mere water is not
enough; it takes Zenoleum to kill germs—use it freely. Dip or scrub the hogs in
a three per cent solution consisting of one part Zenoleum to 30 parts water. For
lice, mange, eczema, nettle-rash, ete., spraying the hogs with the three per cent
solution is quite effective. It puts the skin in good condition and leaves the pig
thrifty.

Prices: 8-o0z. can, 25 cts.; 1-qt. can, 50 cts.; %-gal. can, 90 cts.; 1-gal. can,

leum. If it is not what we say it is,

DR. HAAS’ HOG REMEDY

Necessary for Profitable Sine Raising

That swine-raising, when properly conducted, can be made the most profitable branch of stock-raising on the
farm is an admitted fact. There is no other farm animal that requires so little attention and that can be fitted
for market and converted into money as quickly and profitably as the hog. And as one of my customers has
aptly said, “the hog is the farmer’s gold mine if he is given proper attention.”

Hog raising, like everything else, requires common sense to make it successful, and the farmer that gives
his hog a “square deal” will make money out of him.

The first requisite for success is the liking for the business and a willingness to give proper attention on the
part of the owner. Then the location and surroundings must be suitable, the main requirements being ground
that is well drained and free from stagnant ponds and mud-holes. An abundance of available pure fresh drink-
ing water and comfortable and clean shelter are very important requisites. Water from streams should not be
utilized for drinking purposes, as it is often the means of spreading contagious diseases, germs having been car-
ried from points near its source. It is equally important that the hogs do not have access to old and dusty straw-
stacks, manure piles, etc., all of which may harbor germs of disease or vermin. Such places as may cause no
end of trouble, not only among hogs, but other live-stock, will not be tolerated by any well-managed farm.

As to houses, there is no one kind that is best, but it is not advisable to shelter too many animals together,
for crowding must be avoided, as it will result in some becoming overheated, thus subjecting them to colds
which will lead to more serious trouble. Bedding must be changed frequently, and houses, feeding and sleeping
places kept clean, and occasionally disinfected.

The primitive hog had free range of forest and field and was a forager, but modern hog-raising methods
demand that he be forced almost from birth to maturity. The hog that would otherwise be vigorous and strong
is often weakened in constitution and made easily susceptible to disease by this crowding process, over-feeding,
or a continuous diet of one kind of food. A great mistake is made by many of our farmers, especially those in
the corn belt, by feeding too much corn, which is a fattener more than a bone- and muscle-builder. Ground oats,
mill feed, etec., made into a stiff mash, will give better results as a food than corn, except for finishing off for the
market. Kitchen and hotel slop are also economical swine foods, but they should be fed while sweet. Never
feed slops that are fermenting or sour, or that contain concentrated lye or washing powders.

There is no one thing that can be fed to hogs with as beneficial results as Dr. Haas’ Hog Remedy, which
for nearly thirty years has shown its sterling worth in the wonderful results it has produced. Its properties for
keeping in normal condition all of the digestive organs make it almost indispensable to the hogs being fattened,
and no one can start a big crop right without feeding to brood sows before farrowing and until pigs are weaned.
It is unequaled as an arrester and preventive of disease, to stop cough, to expel worms, to hasten maturity,
and it will pay for itself many times over in extra flesh without extra food.

Dr. Haas’ 96-page book, ‘* Hogology,’’ will be sent free to any one asking for it. The advice and in-
formation given therein are facts, established by Dr. Jos. Haas, V.S., Indianapolis, Ind., in his experience of
nearly thirty years as a veterinary and swine specialist.

Packages of Dr. Haas’ Hog Remedy, 50 cts., $1.25 and $2.50 each; 1224-lb. can $6.50, 25-lb. can $12.50.

STOCK LABELS

I am prepared to furnish cattle, pig and hog labels. Your name can be printed
on one side with a number on the other, thereby being able to claim your stock if
lost or stolen; also the number will be valuable in keeping dates when stock is born,
bred, sold, ete.

Every cow, bull, pig, hog or sheep should be tagged as a matter for record.
Mark them in the left ear.

Spray Pumps, Etc.

Spraying is recognized by all to be an absolute necessity to preserve the health and even the life of a tree.
Of course, a large orchardist can spray with engines and automatic arrangements to good advantage, but there
are excellent sprayers for use in small orchards and in gardens and lawns, and I am prepared to offer a full line
_of spray pumps, and spray carts with hose connections and couplings, bamboo poles, nozzles, ete., all of which

I fully endorse, having used them with very good success.

Strong, durable and easily worked.

Pomona Sprayer mounted on Barrel Cart

Pomona Sprayer mounted on barrel cart, as above,
makes a most handy and complete sprayer for lawn,
garden or small orchard and can be operated by one
man.

Without a doubt, they are the best on the market.

“SAVELOT” SPRAYER

Very Powerful and Large Capacity—All Working
Parts Bronze

“Savelot” is the same as “Pomona” in all respects,
except that it has a seamless brass tube cylinder, in-
stead of iron, and a brass piston with cupped packings,
instead of an outside packed plunger. The cupped
packings are of a special material which is not affected
or hardened by the chemicals used in spraying. There
is no leather used in the sprayer. The Agitator is the
same as supplied with the * Pomona.”

Pomona and Savelot Sprayers are regularly made for
the end of a barrel, but can be supplied for the side of
a barrel, if so ordered, without extra charge.

If the Agitator is not wanted, deduct $1 from list price.

lining is easily removable; it is made of a heavy
drawn brass tube with cast bronze cylinder head.
This is an important feature, as the gritty nature of
many of the spray mixtures wears all parts of the
sprayer, and this lining can be replaced at small cost
whenever necessary. The valves are all brass and
all grouped in the valve chest and easily reached
for adjustment or repair by removing the four bolts
that secure the air-chamber. The brass piston-rod

“MONARCH” SPRAYER
VERTICAL CYLINDERS

For Large Orchards, Grobes, Etc.—Very Powerful—
Easv of Operation

The *Monarch” Sprayer is made in two sizes, having
two vertical cylinders and two bronze plungers ope-
rated by a single lever so ar-
ranged as to give a powerful
stroke and a heavy pressure.
The cylinders are packed with a
material unaffected by spraying
solutions. This construction
permits all gritty particles to
pass through the valves and out
without cutting the cylinders.
The ports are large and direct.
All working parts are bronze,
plungers, glands, valves, valve
seats and covers. The plungers
are packed from the outside and
the valves can be easily reached
by removing the valve covers.
The malleable iron lever is re-
movable and can be operated in
a vertical position or up and
down. The long lever and large
air-chamber makes it easy for
one man to maintain a high
pressure. The capacity of the
sprayer is so large that the pressure will hold for some
time after the pumping has stopped, which gives time
enough to work the agitator.

This is the best large sprayer, particularly well
adapted to whitewashing, as the valves are so acces-
sible,—a very important feature in a sprayer for this
service. A pressure gauge should always be placed on
top of air-chamber.

“Sentinel Jr.” or “Monarch” Sprayer can be mounted
on a tank or mounted on a plank and loaded in wagon
with one or more barrels of spray mixture.

The famous “Mistry” nozzle is furnished with above
outfits unless others are specified.

COMBINATION KNAPSACK
SPRAYER

Sprayer for Greenhouses and Vineyards and ou Side Hills, also

for Whitelvashing Fences, Stables, Henhouses,
Greenhouses and Greenhouse Glass

There are many places where it is inconvenient or |

quite impossible to use a barrel sprayer, and a Bucket
or Knapsack Sprayer
becomes indispensa-
ble. In the green-
house especially the
Knapsack is the most
convenient form; the
sprayer being on the
back of the operator,
it permits him to
pass along the aisles
freely, one
hand to operate the
pump and the other
for the spraying.
There has been some objection to Knapsack Sprayers,
many claiming they were hard to operate, very tiresome
on the back and that it was difficult to get up sufficient
pressure for proper work. In designing this Knapsack
Sprayer we had these points in view. The tank holds
five gallons and is of good quality galvanized iron. The
pump is of brass. The lever is long and powerful, and
can be readily changed for right or left hand. Fig.
1323. With 4 ft. of % in. discharge hose, “Seneca”
or “Mistry” Nozzle and pipe extension. Price, $10.

BRASS SPRAYER AND
BUCKET

Fig. 1068 is a very compact, useful outfit for
a variety of purposes—spraying, sprinkling,
washing windows, white-
washing, etc.

All brass, gutta percha
ball valves and double-
acting effect. The bucket
is of best quality of gal-
vanized iron, with a solid
wood bottom extended at
one side for a foothold,
A removable wire gauze
strainer is fitted in the
filling collar and covered
with a tight-fitting cap.
The capacity is about six
gallons. The “Calla” noz-
zle furnished has three
changeable discharge
“openings, making a spray

or solid stream at will.

This outfit is especially
well adapted to whitewashing stables or henhouses for
sanitary purposes. The whitewash cannot “slop over,”
the ball valves cannot clog or the nozzle stop up. The
pump is powerful enough to force the whitewash into
the pores of rough wood where the insects secrete
themselves and will do the work quicker and better
than it can be done with a brush.

The henhouses should be frequently whitewashed to
keep them sweet and free from vermin, and with an
outfit of this kind handy the work can be done with
ease in a very short time. Fig. 1068. With 5 ft.

HYDRATED LIME (LIMOID)

FOR SPRAYING

Hydrated Lime (Limoid) for Mixing With Kerosene and Water for
Spraying to Kill the San Jose Scale

What is Hydrated Lime? A very clear and fine form of lime. It is made from limestone which
contains some magnesia—is ground and sifted finer than flour, made especially for spraying
purposes.

Hydrated Lime (Limoid) is lime that is combined with a small amount of water without
changing its chemical form.

It is useless to try to make a spraying mixture that will kill San Jose Scale without getting
the true Hydrated Lime (Limoid), as it will not mix properly with kerosene and water, so as to
spray through a nozzle throwing a fine spray.

If the mixture is not made properly, i. e., by using the true Hydrated Lime (Limoid), much
time will be wasted in labor in not being able to get the spray mixture through the nozzles with-
out clogging.

‘A 20 per cent mixture of Hydrated Lime and kerosene (Limoid mixture) is sure death to the
San José Scale, and can be easily made as follows: 20 gals. kerosene with 80 lbs. Hydrated Lime
(Limoid) diluted with enough water to make 100 gals. of the mixture, is safe and effective for a
winter spraying, when trees are dormant or not in leaf, for apple and pear trees.

For peaches, plums and roses a 15 per cent mixture is considered effective. 15 gals. kerosene
with 60 lbs. Hydrated Lime (Limoid), diluted with enough water to make 100 gals. of the mixture,
is safe and effective for a winter spraying when the trees are dormant or not in leaf. =§s_—»

For a summer spray, use not over a 10 per cent mixture with the Bordeaux Mixture as
follows: 10 gals. kerosene with 40 lbs. Hydrated Lime (Limoid) diluted with enough water to make
100 gals. of the mixture.

Bordeaux Mixture can be added in the summer spray—a sceale-killer and a fungus-
destroyer.

The Hydrated Lime and Kerosene mixture (Limoid) when well made can be sprayed through
any nozzle.

TO MAKE THE MIXTURE

Pour the kerosene in a barrel or tank, add the Hydrated Lime (Limoid), and stir with a paddle
until they are thoroughly mixed into a thin, “sloppy” mass. In ease a little kerosene separates out,
sprinkle on a trifle more Hydrated Lime (Limoid) to absorb it: this is only occasionally necessary,
unless the Hydrated Lime (Limoid) has become partially carbonated. Add a few gallons of water
and stir again to .urow the sloppy mass into suspension in the water.

Pour in the balance of the water and agitate most vigorously for three minutes by pumping the
mixture back into itself to form an “emulsion.” It is then a smooth mixture which flows as freely
as pure water through any nozzle.

Laboratory tests have shown that Hydrated Lime (Limoid) and kerosene will stand up; that is,
Hydrated Lime (Limoid) and kerosene will not separate for several weeks! Just how long it will
remain in perfect condition has not been determined.

The point is to have no free kerosene in the mixture.

Strain the mixture before putting it in the spray tank.

Hydrated Lime and Kerosene (Limoid) spray can be used on a few trees in the garden or on
large orchards on the farm with good success. In fact, the Hydrated Lime (Limoid) and Kero-

‘Tron Age’? Farm and Garden Implements
| No. 1 ‘‘Iron Age’’ Double and Single Wheel-Hoe

is the Wheel-Hoe form of the No. 6. One great advantage which this Double Wheel-Hoe
possesses is that it can be made into a practical Single Wheel-Hoe in a moment’s time.
As a Double Wheel-Hoe it may be used astride the row and thus cultivate both
sides of the row at the same time. The wheels are 16 inches high, enabling the
Wheel-Hoe to run easily and without yielding to the inequalities of the soil as a
low wheel will do. The frame being made of
pipe coupled with malleable castings, gives great
strength, together with lightness. Price, com-
plete, $6.50. A Seed Drill Attachment may be
applied for sowing in
NX a rows only, or sowing

$3.50 and $4.50 re-
spectively. This tool
with side hoes
only, $3.75.

No. 6 “‘Iron Age’’ Combined Double
and Single Wheel-Hoe, Hill and
Drill Seeder

This tool is a most practical and complete com-
bined garden tool—the ease and simplicity of ad-
justment, the lightness combined with great
strength, the accuracy by which it drills or hills
= the seed, and the small amount of power required

No. 6 to operate it, are the important features. In each

form, whether a Seed Drill, a Double Wheel-Hoe

or a Single Wheel-Hoe, it is equal to any tool or tools made especially for the one purpose.
It places the seeds in drills or in hills. Price complete, as in cut, $11.

No. 20 ‘“‘Iron Age’’ Single Wheel-Hoe

The frame of this tool, as all the “Iron Age” combined tools, is made of An
pipe coupled to malleable castings, thus rendering them light and strong. A iy
pair of side hoes, a set of cultivator teeth, a pair
of rakes and a land side plow are furnished with
this tool. Price complete, $5.50. As with the
No. 1, a seeder attachment may be added at any
time. No. 21, plain (Hoes only), price $3.50.

A Fertilizer Attachment

may be applied to the frame of the Nos. 20, 15 No. 20

No. 19 “‘Iron Age’’ Wheel-Plol Cultibator

An important feature of this tool, as with all the “Iron Age” garden imple-
ments, is lightness combined with great strength. The wheel is 30 inches high
and very strong. The working tools consist of a plow, rake, scuffle
hoe and two cultivator teeth. Price, $3.

No. 25 “‘Iron Age’’ Single Wheel
Fertilizer Distributor

With the “Iron Age” Fertilizer Distributor, ferti-
lizer may be sown across the bottom of the furrow
or on either side, so it will not come in contact with
the seed and possibly injure
it; or, the tool may be used
for side dressing the growing
crops. Side dressing often
forces a crop to mature earlier, becoming more tender and salable.
The tool is light in weight and very strongly built. A Seeder At-
tachment may be applied in place of the Fertilizer
Hopper, thus making a complete seeder. Price, $7.

No. 9 ‘‘Iron Age’’
Single Wheel-
Hoe, Cultibator
Plolv and Rake

For the small kitchen garden we consider the single hoe as being
preferable. With the single wheel tool spaces of exceedingly narrow
width can be worked, even using but one cultivator tooth. With the
large plow attachment deep furrows can be
opened or closed; potatoes, celery and other
erops hilled—in short, all work usually accom-
plished by a special
plow. It is light and
runs easily. Price com

ALFALFA

A perennial forage plant, and when once properly seeded in suitable soil will produce fine crops
for several years. It has a remarkably strong growth, roots penetrating the ground to a great depth—
10 to 20 feet. Sow 12 pounds to the acre.

Alfalfa has been grown with success in every state and territory in tte Union. There is not a state
from which the report has not gone out that Alfalfa will, when properly treated, become one of the
best fodder plants. It is the best hay and soiling crop in the West. In the South it has been widely
recommended as a very valuable addition to the list of forage grasses and clovers. In the Middle and
Eastern States it promises to become a rival of the better known and more widely grown red clover.

ALFALFA, CRIMSON CLOVER, BEAN SEED, ETC.

Prices on Application

To insure a perfect stand of Alfalfa and Crimson Clover, there should be bacteria in the soil, and
this can be best secured by the use of Nitro-Culture, as described on page 14.

14 ARTHUR J. COLLINS, MOORESTOWN, N. J.

NITRO-CULTURE

Doubles Your Crops

A new, sure and easy way has recently been discovered to make worn-out or poor land enor-
mously productive without nitrogenous fertilizers and almost without expense. Plants need nitro-
gen and cannot grow without it. Heretofore fertilizers have been needed to put nitrogen into the
soil. Nitrogen is very necessary —is the most expensive part of
fertilizers. The new way is easier, surer, cheaper—it is to
let nitrogen-gathering germs feed the plants.

The soil is full of air. Air is four-fifths free nitrogen. Think
what limitless plant-food, in the form of free nitrogen, the air
contains. Right here the new discovery comes in. Plants can-
not extract nitrogen from the air, but there are germs that can.
These germs have been discovered and are now being used for
that purpose.

These germs, when put into the soil, fasten themselves to the
roots of the plants, draw the free nitrogen out of the air, and
feed it to the plants. That’s the secret of the new way that is °
making many farmers rich. The germs do the work—the
farmer gets the profit. They save expense, reduce the work, in-
crease the crop enormously, even make it possible to grow alfalfa
and other crops where they never would grow before.

ke gear

The new way saves the cost of nitrogenous fertilizers and is
very easy to use. The germs come ready for use, in a form called
Nitro-Culture, put up in small dry packages you can put in
your vest pocket. Simply add it to water, and sprinkle the water:
over the seeds before planting. The germs remain on every seed
—live with it—increase about it—feed the roots when they start
and keep on feeding them. They also enrich the soil by stor-
ing nitrogen in it, so that the second year’s crop, whatever it
may be, is increased from two to ten times.

Crops that Cannot be Treated Directly
With Nitro-Culture Get the
Benefit Later

The method of rotating crops in order to get the
benefit of the work done by the bacteria in the soil,
is being largely adopted by progressive farmers in
every section, in order to save the cost of fertilizers.
For instance, you can take any of the leguminous
plants, such as clover, peas, beans, vetch, peanuts,
alfalfa, ete., sprinkle the seed with Nitro-Culture
before planting them in the usual way, then the little
harmless vegetable germs will develop in the soil,
and, having the peculiar property of collecting free
nitrogen from the air, leave it in the soil in such | ja cel ;

largely increased crop the first year, but because the soil is left richer and better at the close of
the year than it was before the crop was planted, you ean, the second year, plant corn, wheat, pota-
toes, oats, or any other crop which you may desire

We believe the discovery of Nitrogen - fixing
Bacteria is the most valuable discovery made
during the past century, as far as farmers are
