CAUSE OFJOFY MILK.
Not tha Fault of tha Cow, but of Sup
rounding Conditions.

men as i the cause of ropy milk, anya

of the cow, lutlammatlon III the udder

The genu that causes ropy milk. .

tat In water. It will flourish lu Ice

at blood heat, anya Professor Ward
which proves conclusively that It la
not tne result of til-ease In the row
Starting with the proved fact that the
ittsease originates in water, here are
some of the causes as stated by Pro
fessor Ward In his hook. "Puru Milk
and the Public Health:
fows wading In muddy sloughs and
tne germs railing from the ImmIv of ih
cow Into the milk pall; foul stables,
where this trouble exists; the organ
isms are found In the tloor dust of
milk room; Infected water usitl for
cooling milk lu cans; the corrugated
milk cooler may have a leak whereby
the water Is mixed with Ihe milk.
The bad practice of merely rinsing
the milk utensils at ul:;ht In cold water
and not scalding them out la another
cause, and a quite frtitcut one, 1.
deed, unclean utensils constitute the
most frequent cause for bad milk.
Grinding Grain For Hoga.
The gain from grinding corn Is com
paratively small. Numerous experi
ments have been uiado with other
grains to determine the effect of grind
lug. it being generally supposed that
grinding would be more effective lu
the rase of small grains than It would
be with corn. Grinding small grains,
su.-h ns peas, barley, oats and rye,
has almost Invariably proved benetl
clal. Sometimes the advantage of the
ground grain has been very sllylit mid
soinet lines very marked, but the gen
eral evidence Indicates that It Is ad
visable, when practicable, to grind
such grains. When the cost of grind,
lug Is excessively high the practice
may uot be advisable, but under ordl
miry circumstances It is the aafe
course. According to a ronmllnMnn t
experiment station results made by ).

grains Is l:;.;i! pPr ,.pn, hi. h Is d.m.

tution. The brood sows are wintered
on second crop or clover, boiled r.Htx.
sklmuillk mid half a pound each of
grain dally. They are comfortably
housed, with access to a yard tu the
daytime. Kxerclse Is an Important
element In their care. The sows are
bred in December, farrow In March or
early April and raise but one litter a
J'enr.
Lameness In Horses.
Shoeing is a ver? frenuent ennse nt
lameness and In a great many cases
of incurable lameness. Sufficient at
tention is not given to this matter. It
often happens that by a little mechan
ical contrivance in the alteration of
the shoe or In the way the foot Is shod
the horse will travel sound or become
workabiy sound. Bad shoeing and the
mulitation of the foot render many a
horse valueless, and cutting away the
frog, removing frog pressure, euttins
at the bars and shortening the toes
are main causes of chronic diseases of
the foot The horse's foot helnir ot-
ceedlngly vascular and its blood sup
ply great, it naturally follows that If
the foot is mutilated the blood supply
becomes impeded, and consequently
chronic diseases and atrophy are
set up.
Cause of Ropy Milk.
Bacteria cause ropy milk and are
usually found In the milk uteuslla and
not In the cow's udder. Clean up. dis
infect and whitewash stables and per
fectly m-ald and sun dry milk utensils.
See that the drinking water and water
used In cleansing the vessels are free
from contamination. If the milk Is af
fected when drawn from the udder
the cause is garget and bacteria in the
udder. For that treat by physic ing the
cow, giving a tahlespoonful of salt
peter twice daily in water fop f...
days and then mixing half an ounce
oi Hyposulphite 0f soda In feed night
and morning for a week. The milk
will be safe for pigs or Uiickens.

Pumpkins Good For Sheep.
Pumpkins are good feed for sheep In
the full of the year. When winter
comes on and the pastures do not fur
nish enough feed to keep them thrifty
and growing nicely begin feeding corn
and fodder, cowpeas and clover hay
and sometimes thrashed oats or sheaf
oats.
Starting a Flock.
In gelling together a flock the farm
er with little experience should work
into the business gradually aud cau
tiously by buying from six to twelve
Well bred ewes, which can usually lie
purchased for from $15 to J25 and up
ward, ana the best ram that can be
found at a reasonable price.
Stomach Worma.
American sbecpinen perhaps luf
fer as much loss from stomach worms
as from any other one cause. Old
pastures are credited with the propa
gation of this parasite, but It Is safe
to assume that insufficient feeding or
other negligence Is responsible for
much of the loss occasioned by the
pest.
Value of Rape For Sheep.
Men who were fortunate enough to
sow rape the past spring are going to
reap large benefits from it from this
time on. It has been used extensively
among sheep breeders in every coun
try where sheep are handled In lurgo
numbers, and It has been indorsed by
a great many of our own experiment
stations.
Sheep Repay Good Care.
Many farmers keep a flock of sheep
because of their ability to renovate the
soil and keep down weeds and sprouts,
in both of which roles they are a dem
onstrated success. But the men who
will make the most profit from their
sheep are the best farmers, who will
provide their sheep with comfortable
and sanitary quarters and feed them
the best tbat the farm afford.
