MASTITIS TESTING WILL
CEASE JANUARY 1ST.
Dairymen interested in testing
their cattle for mastitis are arrang-
ing for testing for the _ presence of
this disease. Word has just been
received at the county agent’s office
to the effect that the federal test-
ing program for mastitis will be dis-
continued January 1, 1936.
It to highly important to have ap
praisals and branding completed by
that time, according to advice re
ceived from the county agent, which
means that the test should be com
pleted before December is too far ad
vanced. Mastitis is a disease of the
udders of dairy cattle, and under the
program of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, the farmers are to be
reimbursed for the slaughter of cat
tle found to be carrying the disease.
The plan to handled upon a basto
similar to the Bang’s disease project,
and dairymen interested in the re
moval of such cattle from their herds
should immediately make application
to the county agent’s office where
arrangements will be made for the

Cutting the cured sweet clover with
an ensilage cutter wns found advis
able for cattle feeding but there was
no apparent advantage In cutting It
for fattening lambs. Fine grinding of
roughage makes the feed too expen

Cut corn fodder also was found a

beef cows and heifers, when fed In
limited quantities with corn silage and
cut sweet clover hay and when fed

The heifers'lost some flesh on a ration

Give Pastures Start
Good pastures are an asset to any
farm, and particularly to a good live
stock farm. Many farmers damage
their pastures by turning stock on
them during the early days of spring.
The ground Is usually soft and tramp
ing damages the planta The worst
damage, however, comes through close
grazing of the young plants before
they have a chance to get started.
Plants require a reasonable top growth
in order that their roots become firmly
established. The young, tender grass
of early spring does not have as much
nutritive value as it will have a few
weeks later. It to beet for the live
stock and much the best for pastures
if they are given a chance to get
a good start.
Use Planes to Fight Hopper»

the resourcefulness of the western
Canada farmer. Spreading of poison
for grasshoppers has been so success
ful In one or two areas In southern
Alberta that it will probably be adopt-
ed as a regular method In future. The
planee were used In flying at 100-reet
elevation, using four pounds of bait to
the acre. The cost per section was
$8 to $10, and the distribution thinly
and evenly done, and so effective,
with the use of oiled bait, that hoppers
were still dying a week after the bait
was spread.
