Overcoats blamed for colds and rheumatic illnesses
Physicians say thick overcoats trap body moisture, causing chills when taken off and triggering colds, lumbago, rheumatism, and neuralgia.

A joke notes spring fevers turn to thoughts of finding a better tailor.

Epilepsy in Hogs Affects Young Pigs and Prevention
Epilepsy in pigs stems from brain and nervous system weakness. Causes include overfeeding cornmeal and meat, poor bedding, and two close breedings. Symptoms vary. some pigs froth and seize, others tremble and collapse. For mild cases offer dry bed, 10 to 12 drops iron chloride in feed, and improved housing. Preventive measures emphasize dry quarters, milk for piglets, flaxseed, cabbage, and grass in diet. Eastern Exchange notes overall management matters.
Ground Wheat and Cornmeal Compared in Swine Feeding
At the Cornell university experiment station a test compared feeding values of ground wheat, cornmeal, and a gluten feed cornmeal mix. Each group received equal milk. Wheat slightly outperformed cornmeal, cornmeal alone yielded least gain, while the gluten and cornmeal mix produced the greatest gain and cheapest pork, indicating neither grain alone gave best results.

Stable Feeder Frame Construction Instructions
A detailed description by John S. Core outlines building a feeder frame from two 2x4s four feet long crossing two feet from the bottom, with side supports and a nine inch gap from the bottom. It includes bolted cross members, angled end pieces, eight inch side boards, and precise spacing to allow corn to feed out. The design calls for two end frames and a central support, using rough eight inch boards for the sides and a lower edge set eight inches above the trough floor.

Stock and Dairy Hints From The National Rural
Impatient cows reduce value and late feedings wasteful. Feed surplus skim milk to growing hogs or cows. Run skim through the butterfat machine to replace creams. Time spent carrying calves and heifers yields future milk harvest. Farmers overvalue grain while stover saved becomes valuable feed. More droughts will push farmers toward seesomen adaptation.

Wheat as Hom Food Results at Wisconsin station compared wheat and corn in pig gains
Wisconsin experiment station results show little difference in pork yield from the same weight of wheat or corn. Four trials average 499 pounds of ground wheat to produce 100 pounds of gain. two trials with corn meat require 400 pounds per 100 pounds gain. A 50 50 mix of wheat and corn yields better gains, needing 435 pounds to gain 160 pounds.
