to make the most of it. First and
foremost of these supplementary feeds
is green forage. Many kinds of plants
afford some of the desired elements,
but the lesjumes, such as clovers, al
falfa, field peas, etc., are the great
balancers for com. Experiment has

par excellence for a hog, and It should
be grown where xssible.
Clover is nearly as good a feed for
bogs at all seasons as alfalfa. While
concentrates, such as shorts, tankage,
oilnieal. bonemeal. etc.. will nearly
always cheapen and balance a corn or
other carbonaceous ration, it should be
borne in mind that far the cheapest
pains are made where pasture is the
main balancer. Where some of the
legumes are not found to be adapted

Wounds In Horses' Feet
' If the horse steps on a nail do not
pour turpentine In the puncture. Such
treatment only tends to increase the
pain and inflammation. Always bear
in mind that the foot cannot swell like
other parts to accommodate itself to
the results of inflammation. This is
the reason that punctures or injuries
to the feet are so painful. Soothing
treatment is always recommended.
Enlarge the opening made by the nail
with a knife completely through the
sole of the foot and apply linseed meal
or bran poultice every twenty-four
hours, but not poultice longer than
three days at a time, for if prolonged
too much softening of the hoof is like
ly to be the result. The shoe should
in all cases be removed and the horse
given complete rest and reduced diet
until recovery takes place.
i The sheep that both feeds and
f clothes us. besides adding tre-
, mendously to the fertility of the
fland, is bound to be one of the
, biggest economic agricultural
Z factors. Let us have fewer dogs
f and more sheep.
Y- Ensilage For Beef Cattle,
j TTe feed the ensilage to our herd of
Angus cows and to the young stock
and finish out the steers on corn and
grass in the summer, writes an Illi- j
nols breeder. We turn the cattle on '
shock fodder until the middle of Jan- j
uary or the 1st of February and then j
give them ensilage anil good oat straw
that has been thrashed Into the barn ;
or hay, and if we have plenty of ensi
lage and other rough feed we do not
feed any grain. Last year the snow I
came early, so ve ran short of rough ;
feed arid had to fivd some corn, too,
but It is the first lime for years that :
anything but the steers and calves ;
were fed any grain. I
Corn Chop For Horses.
' There has been complaint that corn
Chop fed to horses Induces gastric
colic, but It is claimi by the Colorado
experiment slat ion that if the corn i
chop be fed v. ill) bran or cut hay
then there will usually be no ill ef- j
fects, because the material will not lie j
compactly in the stomach, and as a
result the stomach juices can got at t
all parts of the feed and digest it thor- ,
oughly. . j

SCOURS IN CALVES.
A Serious Complaint and On Difficult
to Overcome,
Scours or calf cholera Is a serious
complaint and very dilllcult to over
come, writes II. V.. Vau l'elt in the
Kami and Klresld.
It is au tnrectiou caused by one of
two or three different sieclnc norma
which pain access to the blood of the
calves through soiiw won ml or brokeu
skin surface. The sorui is present
some place In the barns or lots. Klrst
thoroughly clean and dlslufoot all calf
pens, barns aud sheds Inhabited by the
' calves. Keep the calves out of mud or
wet stalls. These considerations are
i incldeuial to the main preveutlous, but
j must 1 given very careful attention.
, It will be found a hard light, aud every
j prccnutlou must be takeu iu a thorough
I manner.
j The main operation In preventing tlie
j disease is to watch closely for the
! birth of all calves. Have a strong
! string soaked iu a solution of rreolin
: or lysol, and Just as soon as a young
i stor Is born thoroughly bathe and dls-

i string tightly around the cord close to

infection.
Without these precautious the dls

but where all of thcin are carefully oh
j served, and esvclally the latter, the
trouble will soou die out. The Infeo
; tlon Is not caused by the feed. The
j writer has always found that to pre
i vent scours in young calves au excel
'. lent plan is to feed a teaspoonful of
! blood Hour, w hich can be purchased dl

milk given to each calf.
FATTENING STEERS.
Interesting Experiment at the Colorado
Station.
Thirty head of steers from the ex
perimental feed yards of the Colorado
Agricultural college recently set a new
high mark for commercial steers sold
upou the Denver market. The steers
were fed aud sold In three lots with
teu head in each lot All lots were
fed alfalfa hay. Lot 2 received Cali
fornia feed barley, gaining 4.010 pounds
In six months feed and selling for
J7.i ier 100 pounds. Lot 3 received
corn, gaining 4..V5o pounds and selling
for, $7.tv per 100 pounds. Ijot 4 re
ceived cottonseed cake and sugar beets
for teu weeks, when the beets were dls-

continued and corn and molasses add
ed to the ration. This lot gained 4.4t!0
pounds and sold for $8 per 100 pounds.
The lot on California feed barley held
its own with the others during the first
half of the feeding period, but then
fell behind. The combination fed cat
tie kept the lead for a long time, but
finally fell a little behind. Just two
weeks before the close of the experi
ment these cattle weighed eighty-live
pounds more than the corn lot. Evi
dently warm weather spoiled their ap
petite for molasses, so that at the close
they were behind the corn lot in total
galu.
Figuring hay at $8 per ton. corn
chop and barley chop at $1.20 per 100
pounds, cottonseed cake at f32 per ton
and beet sugar molasses at $0 per ton.
the profit over feed for the barley lot
was about $1 per bead, the corn lot
$7.50 per bead and the combination
lot $9 per bead.
Colts Need Exercise.
Growing colts should always have a
smooth, roomjj lot in which to exer
cise and should be given the run of
this Inclosure summer and winter.
Plenty of exercise and fresh air and
sunshine are essential to the best de
velopment of any animal. This does
not mean that they should be left un
protected during the cold winter
nights. They should either have free
access to a warm shed or, better still,
be tied up nightly in stalls. The han
dling of the colt cannot begin too early.
v Men whose experience extends 4
back half a century can discern 1
y a great improvement In both J
' draft and road horses. The
4 "plug" Is rapidly passing. State j
5' stallion laws are largely respon- Z,
4 sible for improved conditions.
Z
Dairy Cleanliness.
Great care should be taken that
there Is no dirt sticking to the cows'
sidi'S that will find its way into the
milk pail, as every particle of dirt or
filth of any kind that gets into the
milk carries with it thousands of
bacteria. Undesirable bacteria pro
duces taint in milk. These live in the
filth that lodges on the surface and in
the crevices of half cleaned utensils
as well as In the filth that is in the
barn or In the separator.
