MAKING UP RATION
FOR A DAIRY COW
a,
Approximately 4 per cent of the
hogs on farms in the United Stales
died o f cholera last year, says the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. In round numbers the loss
amounted to 2,250,000 hogs valued at
approximately $29,3911,000. Nine states
each lost more than 100,000 head of
hogs from the disease.
While the disease is highly conta
gious and Is dlltlcult to control, the
losses have been much higher than
they should he, since a preventive se
rum Is available, say department ex
perts. This serum, used before animals
get sick, combined with strict sanita
tion and thorough disinfection after
outbreaks, is the most effective known
control measure.

erinarian, urges a thorough cleanup

Essential Fall Factors
for Success W ith Pigs
A special effort «i-ould be made at
this season to keep the fall litters
growing and thrifty.
The sows and
pigs should be f urn tilled « ’ith shelter
from the cold rain* and the cold
nights. Experience has shown pure
bred breeders that they cannot rely
on the temperiUe winters and that
shelter will prevent pneumonia, bad
colds, and genera! nnthriftiness.
A
moderate quantity of straw or leaves
should be used for bedding—not so
much that the pigs will not be able
to get out of the sow’s way.
When the pigs are old enough to
eat feed them in a creep.
A little
shelled corn or skim milk Is a good
feed to start them on.
Extra feed
pays at this time, the animal hus-
handrymen at Clemson college say, be
cause the pigs are making a cheap
gain and will be In good condition for
weaning.
F^orage can be supplied at
this time by rye and rape. It is espe
cially desirable to have enough forage
to carry the sows and pigs until
freezing weather.
I f forage is not
available a more liberal use of a good
protein supplement Is necessary at
tins time because the hogs are depenn
ing upon the feeder for their supply.
Don’t feed lice.
A little time and
trouble will rid the house and hogs of
these parasites. Crude oil or a good
coal-tar dip will give results.
Sows After Farrowing
The sows should be made to take
some exercise and should be fed a
mineral preparation consisting of 40
per cent lime, 40 per cent honemeal
or similar material, and 20 per cent
common salt. To this may be added
.05 to .1 o f a pound of sodium or
potassium iodide for every 100 pounds
of the other ingredients.

present divorce laws, is rather a per
manent possession and so should be
chosen carefully.
My grandmother used to say when
giving advice to her grandsons which
they seldom asked for and never took,
that before the negotiations were
actually completed in possessing one
self of a wife, it was wisest to see all
the faults and weaknesses possible.
After marriage one should close his
eyes and be blind to anything that
suggested imperfection.
Quite the opposite Is frequently the
case. One uses his head when he buys
a horse or a motor car. He wants to
know something o f the pedigree of the
horse or the internul construction of
the car; he isn’t carried away by the
results of careful currying on the one
hand or skillful painting on the other.
With a wife It is too often a matter
of sentiment or emotion, of passing
fancy for an attractive exterior—for
careful currying and skillful painting

There are three substances which
must be considered in making up the
ration o f a dairy cow. These are con
tained In almost all feeding stuffs to
a greater or less extent. They are
protein, carbohydrates and fat. Some
feeds contain a high percentage of one
of these and other feeds contain a
high percentage of another. The pro
tein or nitrogenous substance is most
expensive of the three. It ts used by
the animal lu production of hair, hoof,
hide, horn, blood and muscle. Such
feeds as alfalfa, cowpea and clover
hay, cotton and linseed meal, bran,
oats and gluten feeds contain a high
per cent of this substance. The car

Annual Oyster Feast
Held by English Town
The oyster feast at Colchester, Eng
land. which is held on October 21, dates
hack centuries and centuries, lu fact,
to the time of the undent Britons.
Julius Caesar, after his conquest of
the eastern counties of England,
founded a town on the site of the
present Colchester, and the export of
oysters to Rome became the chief in
dustry. During the reign of Richard
I (1193), the monarch granted a char
ter to the citizens giving them the sole
right for oyster fishing off a large part
of the coast.
In order to keep the
size of the oysters up to standard, a
silver oyster was enst, which now re
poses in the town hall, and it is illegal
to sell them smaller than the model.
As the fume of Colchester’s oysters
spread, tt became customary to Invite
well-known people from all over the
country. The ceremony takes place at
the town hall, at the expense of the
mayor. The duke o f York was the
guest of honor last year, which wit
nessed an epoch-making event. For
the first time in Colchester's history
the feast was presided over by a lady,
for the city’s civic head was a
mayoress.

Cows need and respond to grooming
as much as horses, yet somehow the
curry comb and brush in the cow barn
seem entirely out of place to many
men. The idea that cows do not need
grooming is a good companion for the

Of course, grooming must start early
and be kept going. A great aid to
keeping cows clean is a clipping ma
