If Is uo economy to feed poor, musty

Do not stuff the road horses with

Give n small forkful nt night, when
the horse has time to digest It.
. A good handful of cut bay should bo

Irregular feeding tends to make
horses bolt their grain. Ouard against
It. Bolting food causes indigestion and
consequently loss of health.
It Is not always wise to feed the

O
THE VETERINARY.
o
A horse's foot should be examined
whenever ho comes Into the stable,
especially If he has been driven ou
country roads; otherwise n small stone
or iKisslbly a nail may remain undis
covered until the horse is iniule lame.
Distribution of Tuberculosis.
It has Uh-u proved by experiment;)
conducted by the Minnesota experi
ment station that a dangerous medium
Ii) the distribution of tuberculoma Is
the manure of Infected cattle, which
lu Its dry form may readily be blown
into milk lu the Huhlcs. The utmost
care should be taken to Isolate nil cat
tle known to be or suspected of being
affected with tuberculosis, not only for
the safety of human life, but for tho
welfare of tho herd.
Remedy For Rheumatism.
For rheumatism lu horses a breeder
ays that the following Is au excellent
remedy: Dissolve two drums of carbo
nate of potash In n pint of water und
mix It with the feed two or three tlmes
a day until the animal gets well. Ap
ply equal parts of ulcohol und water to
tho affected Joints twice a day.
Enlargement on Horses' Legs.
A recommended remedy for enlarge
ments ou the legs of horses is u mix
ture of potassium Iodide, one ounce;
Iodine, three drains; water, eight
ounces. Mix well and apply over tho
affected parts. The application should
be made at the first appearance of tho
trouble. -
For Colt That Aro Teething.
Colts suffer from teethlug nt times,
and to subsist wholly upon hard, dry
food may work Injury. Steamed crush
ed oats or barley thickened with brau
will prove appetizing nud very nour
ishing In audi cases. Hoots may bo
cooked and the mass extended with
ground grain and bran.
A Waah For Mau.e.
One ounce of carbonate 'of potassium
to each quart of rulnwaler makes an
excellent wash for mango or Itch.
Wash the " affected parts once each
week with this mixture and then wash
eff the mixture with clean rainwater.
Prevention V Ringbone.
Klugbouo can be prevented by keep
ing the horse's feet properly trimmed,
not overworking colts while young,
careful driving on hard and uneven
roads nud avoiding nil strains on the
tendons.
" ' DACTERIA IN MILK.' '
Come Good Suggestjon That Every
Dairyman Should Heed.
, It 1 Impossible In practical dairy
work entirely to prevent bacteria from
falling Into the milk, but if tbo follow
lug auggestlou ore bceded the num
ber gaining entruueo and their rate of
development will be greatly leaaeucd:
Do not feed dry bay or fodder at
feeding time, and to prevent dust from
rbiiig from tbo floor use tho aprlnkllug
can, for dust meant bacteria.
Do not brush the cow Just before or
at the time of mii-iou, fur tue dead
skin and hair, carrying thousands of
bm terbi, will be loosened ready to drop
luto tho pull.
Do uot ix-nnlt the cow to switch her
tall over tho milk pall, for abo 1 cer
tain to throw hundreds of bacteria
luto the milk at every flip.
Do not aoak the teat or udder with
milk or water ao that drops fall luto
tin pull, but moisten with cloth, for
u moist aurfuee doe Dot readily per
mit bacteria tj leave It.
Do not regard milking as a dirty
t u;k and wear old and Bltby clothe,
for the bundling of food for human
bclti.- ahould be made a cleauly task.
'Do not waah pull and can with
cold water, but scald with boiling wa
ter and steam, and by all mean avoid
rltiHlug with cold water Just before
milking, for a few drop of water usu
ally contain several thousand bacteria.
Do not wait to finish milking before
beginning the cooling of the milk, but
set the cun In a tub of cold water so
that each cow's milk will be cooled Im
mediately after milking, for A high
t-niH'rnture causes bacteria to multi
ply very rapidly.
Do not full to thoroughly clean and
scald tbo part of the separator each
time It la used, for bacteria thrive In
the separator slime.
MULEFOOT HOGS.
What a Kanca Breeder Ha to Say
About Them.
Breeders of swlne In many sections
of tho country are greatly Interested
In muiefoot bog, and tbeae animals
have attracted considerable attention
In recent year when exhibited at the
state fair. These hogs are now being
Improved and bred under the name of
Ozark bog.
A Kausns breeder, Dr. W. J. Connor,
who I raining them, says that while
In a measure they are a new thing, yet
ho ha been breeding them long
enough to have ascertained that they
are actually the best range bogs in cx
bitouee today. Ho has found, be says,
that they will live and prosper where
a common bog would starve to death.
The meat of these hogs, be declares,
la sweeter than that of common bogs,
and there Is a larger proportion of lean

to fat. They may bo finished at any
age, und It Is possible to bring them
to a weight of from 600 to 800 pounds.
It scums that these hog have been
tried out In practically every state In
the Uulon, and Dr. Connor says that
they have never had cholera.
Notes For the Shepherd.
If tho pastures aro short and dry
look out for the breeding ewes, says
tho Farm Journal.
Give them extra feed grain In a feed
box, fodder corn or freshly cut clover.
After tho roots aro gathered for win
ter tho flock should feed over the field
to clean up the small roots, etc.
It Is well to reserve a patch of tur
nips for the sheep to feed on. It may
be in ono corner of a pasture. A patch
of one aero will furnish feed for twenty-five
or thirty sheep for three months.
Do not attempt to winter old ewes.
Fatten them quickly on turnips, oil
meal, ground corn and onts.
Sweet corn lu the milk, fed stalks
and all. Is also a quick fattcner for old
ewes. - . . ' .
Do not breed young ewes under four,
teen months old unless very growthy.
Keep tho sheep dry. Never leav
thorn out In a cold rain, especially In
tho full.
If you have no good shelter lu th(
pastures It will pay to make one.
Make It deep, but provide for ventl
latlon without drafts.
Success In Breeding Hogs.
A farmer who has been breeding
hogs for twenty-five years and has
been unusually successful was asked
how ho did It. His reply, in substance,
was that he provided good, decent quar
ters, plenty of shade, good pasture, a
variety of good food, good water, al
ways fed for vigor and gave tho hogs
regularly ashes and charcoal. This Is
oil simple, but nil gooi.

Preventive. To quote from the Cult
cd States entomologists. Messrs. Riley
and Howard;
"Almost nny greasy substance will
keep tho flii-s away for several days.
A number of experiments were made In
the field. wlHi the result that train oil

or carbolic nckl added will keep the

while with a small proportion of car

a Urge stock dealer In Virginia. Tal

or fish oil seems to be more lasting In
Its effect than any other of the sub
stances used."
A cheap and efficacious remedy
which lu the long run will be found
to lie the best Is the kerosene emul
sion, enys n writer In Hoard's Dairy
man. The emulsion consists simply
of n mixture of soapsuds with twice
the quantity of ordinary coal oil made
as follows:
Kerosene (coal oil), two quarts; rain
water, one quart: soap, two ounces.
Boil the so.ip In the water till nil Is
dissolved, then while boiling not turu
It luto the kerosene and churn It eou
stnutly and forcibly with a ayrlngp or
force pump for five minutes, when it
will be of a smooth, creamy nature.
As it cools It thicken Into u jcllyllke
muss. This gives the stock emulsion,
which must lie diluted before using
witu ulne times Its measure that .
twenty-seven quarts of water. It will
lie found to mix more easily If done nt
once before It cools. This makes thir
ty quarts of the mixture ready for use.
This may be applied to the animals by
means of n sponge or. what Is certainly
more convenient, a force pump and
spray tiowtle. One application often
lasts two or three days. Where a
small tiumlicr of cattle only are kept
the baud sprayers answer well enough.
Handy For tho Dairy.
Dairymen who keep revorda of their
cows, and all dairymen should, will be
Interested In the handy milU scales and
record suggested In a recent circular
by V. J. Fraser of the Illinois experi
ment station. As tho Illustration
shows, any dairyman can adopt the

plan by simply rigging up a board to
support scales and milk record, and
he then hna the figures before him to
tell Just what tho cows aro doing. To
know the value of a cow her total an
nual yield must lie known. The ouly
way to learn this is to keep a record of
her dully milk yield.

ALFALFA HOG FEEDER.
Strong Rack With Moving Front to
Prevent Waste of Hay.
Hogs are very fond of alfalfa, and
they will eat a goa l deal of it If given
a chance. They will also waste a
whole lot unless
you siaml and
feed U to them a
handful at a time.
A nick wilh a
swinging front
works very well,
says a writer In
the Farm Tress.
The punching the
bogs give It will
work the hay down within reach until
the rack Is empty. The openings in front
should be large enough to let n bog's
head through, b.ut not much larger.
The rack may I any length and
should be about four feet bisb nnd
from three feet to three and a half
feet wide at the top. Make It strong
of they will soon punch It -to pieces.
Make the floor tight to hold chaff and
lay a floor lu front U keep the hogs
out of the mud. Brood sows fed nil
the gQod alfalfa hay and clean water
they want will wliter very well If
given one good ear cf corn each day.
Care of the Dor.
It Is not best to permit the boar to
run with the herd. There are good
reasons why this should not be done.
If you are to control the time of far
rowing and want to control the boar
it can be done ouly when he Is kept by
himself.
It Is a too common practice to sell
the boar when the season is over
rather than keep him for future pur
poses, depending on getting another
when he is needed. This is a ruinous
practice nud is largely the cause of
so many small litters nud weak boned
pigs. From yeara of experience I have
learned that it is best to get a good
boar and keep him far a few .years.
As he matures his iis will be strong
er and more in number. ' -
Have a small yard of grass, if pos
sible, hog tight and away, from the
sows, so he will not be worried. 'A
quarter of an acre will afford plenty of
exercise In the open air. When grass
Is not available, give him cut clover
or any good green feed ho will eat.
Feed sparingly of fattening foods, but
supply blm with food that will keep
him growing If uot fully developed.
Mill stuff, sklmmilb, clover, alfalfa
or anything that furnishes protein Is
advisable. And at all times keep a
supply of ashes, salt and charcoal
where he can obtain It nt will, and It
will do much toward keeping him in
good health. .
Salt For Live Stock.
Why salt should be regularly sup
plied to stock Is thus put by a fa
mous English authority; Because in
the .blood of nulmals there are six or
seven times more sodium than potas
sium and thnt the composition of the
blood is constant. To keep animals ia
good health u definite amount of com
mon salt must be assimilated. The
excess of potassium salts In vegeta
ble foods causes by chemical exchange
an abnormal loss of common salt. This
Is proved by the fact that the cravlug
of an animal -for common salt is most
noticeable when the food contains a
large proportion of potassium salts,
such as wheat, barley, -oats, potatoes,
beans and peas. The addition of salt
to animal food increases the appetite,
promotes the repair of tissue by its
searching diffusion through the body
and stimulates the rapid using up of
Its waste products. Eonssiugault's
experiments showed that salt Increases
muscular vigor aud activity nud Im
proves the general appearance nud con-litlon.
