Treating a Diseased Hoof Importance
r ' s- of Good Shoeing.

ly soaked or poulticed ought also ..to

fine sawdust, equal parts. Is most ex
cellent. All these measures may be
advantageous if the feet are properly
hod.
Good shoeing is the essential proph
ylaxis of hoof bound. We must
avoid all improper practices likely to
promote desiccation and contraction
of the foot, such as abuse of the rasp,
too long application of the heated shoe
when titling it to the foot, the lower
ing of the heels, the excessive paring
of the frog or of the bars, the bad fit
ting of the shoe, useless calks, too
many nails in the quarter or near the
heels. All tbe?e errors must be careful
ly avoided. The foot, moreover, must
not be allowed to grow too long. The
shoeing should be renewed monthly,
even if the shoe is -not worn, and, last
ly, the horse must not be allowed too
long periods of inactivity.
Horses Need Shoes.
It has been proposed to abolish the
custom of shoeing, but in the present
conditions and modes of using the
horse this is impossible. The feet de
prived of their accustomed protection
would soon become painful, and only
by keeping the animal in the country
could the feet be suffered to remain
unshod.
Fevcral modes of shoeing have been
Invented to prevent contractions in
feet which arc predisposed to them.
or.;e are undoubtedly beneficial. Good
shoeing is often all that is required. It
Is necessary tc study the pose of
the limb and in preparing the foot to
have it absolutely level, also the shoe,
and by all moans try to preserve the
natural elasticity of the foot, not let it
get too dry or become too soft, but en
deavor to preserve a proper equilib

Keep the Colt Growing.
The first year of the colt's life is very
Important; therefore keep him growing
the first year, keep him growing the
second year, keep him growing the
third year and keep him growing the
fourth year, and in tfcit same year, if
you are going to put him on the market
in the fifth year, feed him up and get
him fat. Fat covers a lot of defects
with horses, says Western Life. We
don't want him too fat if we keep him
at work, but when the other fellow
wants him he wants him fat.
THE HORSEMAN
Never allow two foals to feed out of
the same box. Oue is sure sooner or
later to become master and secure the
lion's share.
A stunted colt will never make so
good a horse as one kept vigorously
growing from the start.
Plenty of exercise should be given in
the open air on all pleasant days.
Never wean the foal too quickly, but
by degrees. It is best for both the
mare and foal to take two or three
weeks to do it Feed foal often, both
during the time of and after weaning.
When driving a horse make that your
business, says a writer in Farm Jour
nal. More horses are spoiled by slack
drivers than in any other way.
Give the foal first class care through
out the winter.
Never allow the foal to follow the i
more when working, but keep it in a i
well built, roomy box.
The little colt should have a feed 1
twice a day of oats, bran and oilmeal '
3-2-1 beginning with a pint and in- .
creasing to a quart
A colt fed in this way and given a
run in a paddock every day will never
have unsound feet and legs unless by
accident.
If you feel as if you cannot break a
horse or colt, do not try it for he will
discover your fears very quickly. If
you have any reason to fear you can
not master the colt, better got help or
sell him unbroken before taking the
chances of spoiling him and thus mak
ing him so much harder to conquer.
The ideal way is to begin with the lit
tle fellow while yet weak and establish
your mastery. Keep at it until he is
old enough to hitch, and the breaking
will be easy.
Breeders should never sell their best
mare when young unless they have one
or more fillies by a first class stallion
from her to take her place in the brood
mare ranks, says the Horse Breeder.
Most brood mares that are not pro
ducers of record performers begin to
deteriorate, or, rather, depreciate, in
selling value after they are fourteen
years old. The small farmer who
raises but one or two a year should
plan to sell his brood mares before
their values begin to depreciate and
replace them with their best fillies that
are from three to five years old. By
continuing along these lines the small
breeder will make more money, as a
rule, than by keeping mares until they
are past use and have really no market
value.
Avoid the habit of keeping the horse's
manger filled with bay all the time.

Results of Various . Experiments

In Cheyenne county, Neb Brott

JfaiCa nine years, (reports iwattm
man in Orange Judd Farmer. At first
Jthey r.ecrwad. ;jalfalfa seed broadcast,
which is the common method .undfcr ir

has shows them that broadcast seed-

dry seasons. At an (elevation of .some
thing, more than 4jOOO.,feet there is not
always sufficient moisture during the
driest seasons to perfect a good; crop-
of seed when grown by the broadcast
method. ' . i
Using a Two Row Cultivator.
In the course of their experiments
Brott brothers have tested drilling in
eighteen to-, twenty two inch drills.
They have found that in drills of this

be gi"-en to the alfalfa plant in narrow
rows ioes not secure the best results.
Durir the more recent years they
have tested seeding alfalfa for a seed
crop J drills thirty-six to forty inches
apart This allows the use of a two

good feam on half mile rows to culti

They f nd that to secure the best re
sults In conserving 'moisture they
should cultivate to tl3 depth of four
inches, cultivating four to' five times
during She season.
It Pods Freely.
On tliese high table lands alfalfa
drilled m rows thirty-six to forty inches
apart branches widely, pods freely and
develops; a better seed crop" than un
der any other method so far tested. It
is their purpose to cultivate 130 acres
of alfalfa the coming season and to
enlarge their plant as rapidly as they
can break the prairie and get the land
under cultivation.
The method which they now pursue
is to place fields under cultivation in
the early spring, thus conserving the
winter moisture, then keep the soil
loose and in good tilth until the 1st of
August and seed with a drill. This
method avoids a weed crop.
SEED CORN TEST.
Important Point In Securing a Good
Stand In the Field.
For testing corn take a tight wooden
box eighteen inches square and four to
six inches deep (or of. some convenient
GOOD EARS Of WHITE CORN.
dimensions), put In two or three Inches
of moist sand and cover with a piece
of white muslin which has been ruled
into squares about two inches across.
Have the seed corn laid on a table oi
shelf where it will not be disturbed.
From the first ear take kernels from
near the butt, middle and tip of ear,
then turn the ear over and take three
more kernels fiom the other side.
Place these six kernels In the first
check or square No. 1); take six ker
nels from the second ear and place in
the second square (No. 2), etc., until
you have sampled all of the ears.
Cover the grain carefully with another
piece of cloth about the same size as
the box and also with a second piece
of cloth enough larger to extend up
on the sides to the top of the box. Put
In one or two inches more of moist
sand and keep the box in the ordinary
living room temperature of the house.
Add more water if the sand becomes
too dry. The corn should germinate
In from three to five days. Those ears
whose kernels da not all germinate in
five days should be discarded.
Vetch Pasture In Spring.
In western Oregon and Washington,
where fall sown vetch matures for
hay in June and rains are not infre
quent at this season of the year, it is
quite a common practice to pasture It
In the early spring March and April
to keep the growth from becoming so
heavy that it wilt fall before it is cut
and to retard its development so that
haymaking will occur after the rains
are over. If the crop Is heavy and
falls during bad weather. It is best to
make ensilage of It immediately.
Cost of Hauling Wheat by Wagon.
Transportation Expert Frank An
drews places the average cost to the
farmer of hauling wheat from farms
to shipping points at 9 cents per 100
pounds; the average distance hauled,
9.4 miles, and the average wagon load
of wheat 3,323 pounds, thus contain
ing about fifty-five bushels.
Land Plaster on Clover.
In the Willamette valley, Oregon, it
Is a common practice to apply land
plaster to clover In the spring during
March and April. From forty to sixty
pounds per acre applied on the surface
of the ground in the early spring are
said to doable the yield of both hay
and seed. - . , , -i

ittle at a time, and under no circum
stances should any be left in their
rough to sour. Sour or stale feed
hould never be tolerated. One, of the
irst grains a little pig will eat is
.racked shelled corn, and if a handful
e thrown upon the floor it will
;oon clean it up. : The trough that is
prepared for the young litter should be
streiaely shallow that they may cat
vithout having to get into it. A deep
rrongh is very bad, as pigs will have
:o climb into it to eat and are liable
o be injured in getting in and out.
Started gradually iu this maimer.
md any changes in the feed that have
o be. made made very gradually, the
oigs may be grown very rapidly.
When at the age of three months they
nay be weaned by removing the sow
:rom the j"ard or lot where she and her
.itter have been, and the pigs will
hardly know when they are weaned,
tf one wishes to wean at an earlier
ige, it may be done, but if the sow is
i good milker it must be done grad
ually by removing the sow for a part
of the day at first; then after a day or
two she may be kept away for a whole
lay and after a little all the time till
there Is no danger of a caked udder
ind spoiled teats.
After weaning the pigs they should
be pushed along as fast as possible by
giving them good feed and a grass lot
to graze in. If one has the milk it
would bo well to mix the ground feed
in it, but if not an addition of the 5 to
10 per cent tankage will grow them
about as well and make just as large a
pig for age as if fed milk and at little
expense. Mix all feed quite thickly.
Many a feeder makes a great mistake
tn making his pigs take too thin slop,
and they have to take too much to get
what fed they need. As the pigs grow
older a little corn may be given them.
In fact, a variety of feed is always
best at this age, but all changes must
be made carefully, so as not to upset
their system or check their thrift. Pigs
properly fed and well bred should
easily weigh a hundred pounds at three
months of age. This is the cheapest
hundred pounds you will ever make,
and it will not cost to exceed 1 to 1V
cents per pound, . while the next hun
dred pounds will cost you 2 to 2Vi
cents a pound. These pigs should at
six months of age weigh from 200 to
225 pounds each and be ready to top
any market in the world at eight
months of age at a weight of 250
pounds or more. Handled in this man
ner one may ship or sell his crop of
pigs before every man in the neighbor
hood is ready and In this way get the
benefit of the early market. When ev
ery one is ready and all are selling one
usually finds the market declining. It
Is as ever the old saying, "The early
bird catches the worm." It is this kind
of pigs that top all markets and are
sold and packed in this country and
sold in foreign countries as best Wilt
shire bacon and hams.

Care of a Calving Cow.
If a cow is a very heavy milker and
In high condition, it would be well to
give her light feed for abort a week
before freshening, to thin the blood a
lirt'.e, as a preventive of miik fever.
Keep, close watch of her and put her
in a box stall at night, so that when
she dees calve she may have her free-
! dom. After calving give her a warm
mash of bran with a handful of salt
scattered on top. Let the calf suck
and then strip her out and put her
back in her stall. See that she cleans.
Do not give her any cold water until
after she has cleaned. Work her slow
ly on to her feed. I do not like to
miik a heifer before calving. Let the
calf suck once, and if the heifer takes
kindly to her milker and gives down
her milk freely she is just as well off
back in her stall, but if she holds up
her milk and wants her calf let her
have it. Milk her at the same time
of the calf sucking until she takes
kindly to her milker. C. M. Winslow
in Rural New Yorker.
FEEDING FOR. MILK
Only the amount of food in excess
of that which i3 necessary to maintain
animal heat and repair the waste of
the animal tissue can possibly be a
source of profit; hence the more a cow
can be induced to eat above this
amount within safe limits the larger
profits she should return in the total
amount of food consumed.
Feeding Silage to Cows.
In writing of the value of the silo in
the National Stockman and Farmer a
New York dairyman says:
About thirty or at most forty pounds
a day. of silage is as much as should
be fed to each cow. If the feeding
commences immediately after filling
the silo, and this Is a good way to do,
there will be no damaged silage at all.
My way to feed the silage ration is in
two feeds, night and morning, and it
is better to feed after milking, because
the peculiar odor of the silage might
affect the flavor of the milk.
It Pays to Feed Well.
To be successful at dairying we
should know that a cow is a machine
and that we will get out of her just in
proportion as we put in, writes C. I.
Hunt in American Agriculturist. We
would not think of taking pumpkins to
the mill for cider, neither should we ex
pect to get milk from a cow 4pd on
timothy hay or com fodder alone. Nor
should we expect a profit from cows
when they are fed barely a mainte
nance ration. The profit must come
from the excess of feed above that
used to maintain life. How foolish,
then, to withhold the little extra, that
which pays for all the feed used. Is it
not much better to feed a ration cost
ing say $3 per month and produce $10
worth of milk than to use one costing
only $2.50 and get no returns?
Value of Salt.
Salt is a very important item a the
dietary of a cow, and many people
are very careless and negligent about
feeding it. Salt is a constituent of the
body and like all other constituents
must be replaced through the channels
of nutrition, but salt has other func
tion? besides forming a small part of j
the organised body. Salt accelerates !
the assimilation of food, especially fa- j
cilitr.ting the passage of the albumi- '
noids of the food from the digestive
canal into the blood and facilitating .
the circulation, thus increasing the en
ergy of the vital processes.
- Roots as Feed.
In arranging the plots and fields for
crops this summer do not forget to
plant an acre or two of roots for the
dairy cow. Such roots as the so called
"cow. beets," mangels, turnips and
even potatoes make an acceptable
change from the more concentrated
feeds during the winter. Most' of these
roots need not be planted till after the
corn is in. Of course none of the Toota
are rich in food elements, alnce they
ere composed largely of water, but that
Is where their value lies." They serve
as a balance to the concentrated feeds;

Making a Good Trough.
More care should be taken in start
ing sheep, especially lambs, than any
other stock, as they easily overfeed
themselves, and it is not an easy mat
ter to get them back to their normal
condition again. Troughs should be
built for sheep according to their size.
Take a sixteen foot board teu or twelve
Inches wide. Nail four inch cribbing
on the sides and put ends bn of the
same material. Take 2 by 4's and cut
thirty-two inches long. . Cut slanting
iu the middle four inches and nail to
sides about two and one-half feet from
the end and brace under the bottom.
This will keep the sheep from tipping
them over. Take two pieces of six
inch material aud cut on one end four
Inches down, so as to let iu a cribbing
four inches wide in the slot so i:ade.
Nail small piece to the fail of trough
aud put in cribbing and nail. Then
brace on middle with two inch piece.
This will keep the sheep from getting
in the trough with their feet. This
plan is for a lamb trough. Make a lit
tle higher for grown sheep.
Starting on Feed.
For wethers give one peck of oats in
the same manner to each hund "ed, all
the hay they will eat, both lambs and
older sheep, and increase gradually un
til all the sheep have learned to come
to the trough when the gates are open
ed. When ail have become accustomed
to feed and they clean up one-half
bushel of oats to the hundred, then mix
in about one gallon of cornmeal (corn
should never be fed whole) and in
crease pretty rapidly with corn until
at the end of one month they should be
on about three-fourths full feed. Full
feed is all they will eat up clean in
about fifteen minutes, or about two
and one-half to three bushels for lambs
and from four to seven bushels for
wethers, according to age and size.
Cull ewes should be fed in self feed
ers when started, as they require more
time to eat than younger sheep, and in
place of corn use wheat screenings and
middlings, about half of each to about
one-third of cornmeal. Self feeders are
not preferred for young sheep because
they have a tendency to gorge them
selves, and when that happens death
nearly always follows.

Jottings by a Hog Feeder.
I have been feeding hogs for a num
ber of years and have had almost no
losses, while all around me so called
cholera has devastated one herd after
another, writes J. P. Fletcher in Amer
ican Cultivator. Here are a few of the
things I did and did not do, which I
believe kept my herds from disease:
Do not feed an extreme green corn
diet
Do not crowd the young stock un
naturally. Keep clear water before them all the
time.
Keep the sleeping quarters clean and
dry.
Have good shade during the warm
weather.
Give the hogs salt and ashes, espe
cially hard coal ashes, and an occa
sional dose of copperas and sulphur in
the slop. Be particularly careful about
this with the hogs that are in the feed
ing pens.
Keep the hogs and their yard in a
sanitary condition and watch the herd
carefully in order that no disease may
get a start
All these points should be kept In
mind, for they are the only effective
Insurance against cholera and kindred
diseases.
Feeding the Brood Sow.
From two weeks after breeding to
within four weeks of farrowing I feed
my sows the following, writes a breed
er In National Stockman and Farmer:
In the morning three quarts of oats,
not ground; at noon a drink of water
or swill slightly thickened with either
middlings, tankage or bran; at night a
feed of corn. Of course some brood
sows have a greater tendency to lay
on fat than others, and this tendency
is kept ' within proper : allowance by
using less corn. A sow at 'farrowlng
should not be overly fat,- but should be

To overcome the weii-gronnded and
reasonable objections of the more intel
