troi prografn now, and know how. to manage weedy field during the coming season. All weed control equipment including sprayers. dus-l ters and cultural iuplemcnts- should be repaired. It is not Ion early to start ordering the neces- sary weed control chemicals, to make sure that treating weeds is timely.

A very important move if it has not yet been done . is to clean all weeds from seed. of if that is not possible, to purchase clean seed. several areas excellent cleaning facilities and these should be util- ized to the fullest advantage.

Weedy fields. robbing the soil of moisture and soil nutrients, cause significant reduction in crop yields. Forewarned is forearmed. L PERFORMANCE TESTING p

Are sufficient records being kept . on which to base selection of licrtll replacement females?

Most of us thought at one time that a herd graded up throuuli the use of good bulls took on a uniformity that made selection rel- atively easy. When you needed Fl heifer to put into the breeding herd you picked the one with the most pleasing form from among those on hand. Sometimes you even sold the best looking and the biggest heifers because they brought the most money. You consoled your- self with keeping what was left because after all "they were bred the same anyway."

The wisdom of this easy going way of selecting replacements for the breeding herd should come im- der close scrutiny in View of in- formation becoming available from Performance Testing work in other areas.

IMPRESSIONS

This is the second in the series of three articles written by Urban Laughlln of Sherbrooke who atten- ded the recent agricultural short course at Charlottetown. in the first article he dealt with Cereals. Fertilizers. Cash Crops. Small fruits and listed herds.

CATTLE FEEDING

One of the most neglected clas- ses of livestock is the pregnant ani- mal. it will pay dividends if the animal is properly fed and look- ed after. The resultant off spring will have a far greater start in life. If the feed. is cut down dras- tically. there will be a decrease in the milk supply during the next lactation. It should be mentioned that 60 per cent of the develop- ment of the calf takes place dur- ing the last six weeks. therefore. a 4 per cent mineral mixture should be fed to the cow in order that she will have sufficient min- erals. etc. If she is milking. per cent mineral mixture is

an aid in digestion. If for any rea- son these bacteria are killed the cow uiil not eat. A new born calf is not born with these bacteria in the rumen. tiiercftire. it must develop them. If a call is slow to start eating rougiiugcs or a cow is off iced the atidiiinnnl of another cows t'uti two or three times a day will in many cases get them eating again. This principle of course is to re-cslziblish the bac- teria in the first stomach. It is not advisable to drcncii the animal unless it is absolutely necessary. There is always a possibility of some of the matcrizil getting into the lungs causing a mechanical pticiinionia. One of the common digestive disturbances in cattle is impaction. The capacity of a cow's stomach is anywhere between 25 to 40 gallons.

Scours in calves and cattle may have several different causes. Two of the main ones re nutritional die tr-tic. As far as calves are concern- ed one of the iniporlant things is to assure that they have clean it- tensils to drink out of. Milk skum on the pnils is a good medium for developing ht-it-Iei'ia. Attention should be paid in the diet of the dam pzirticiilarly to make sure that she receives sufficient vita- min A. it is important in helping to prt-vent scouring in calves.

If the man- ure is tinged with blood. the ani- mals slinultl be treated. scours in horses is very serious and gener- ally speaking over 50 per cent of those affected die.

Pneumonia is not seen as fre- lquentiy in cattle today as it used ito lie. However. it is quite a com- lmon occurance in calves. Make sure that the affected animals have plenty of air and are kept warm. The use of a mustard plas-

It is better to prevent typhoid fever than to wziit for its attack. Therefore. sanitation is a must in preventing wells from being eon- taiminated which is first aid to inaugerating typhoid fever. This disease travels through milk hence the importance of pasteurization where possible. Vaccination has helped to prevent this dread di- sease. The three houses of water are Spring. l)iig Well, and Drill Well.

Springs can be contaminated. The most satisfactory source of water is the drill ueil. A drill well can become contiiiininated too un- less the casing is tight and sealed.

The well should always be at least 50 ft. away from the septic tank. A concrete tank is best and should be 400 gallons. People should never dispose of sewage In a well as ti neighbour might top

a new system is slot floors. The

slots are I to 2 feet about the

floor. Poultrymcn should add a

little time to offset the ammonia

that builds up in the henhouse.

Round worms. tape worms. Cec- al worms and Capillarla attack poultry sometimes. Round worms cause lameness” One form of Leu- cosis is called big liver disease. There is also the Bone form and the Nerve form which may cause lameness. however. a large per- oentage of the lameness is caus- ed by round worms. Leucosis us- ually eases the wings to drop.

A condition called coccidiosis is caused by a small one celled ani- mal. There are four types in all and the intestinal regions are where you see it. The blood in the droppings is one of the symptoms. It could be found in three day old chicks to the oldest birds- First of all the feed consumption drops and they get droopy. Most birds have coccidia in them and get a- long line but when their resistance is down the coccidia take over.

Blackhead is a common disease in turkeys and effects their liver. Poultry cannot pass T.B. to human beings like cattle.

The birds should not be kept lay- ing for more than one year be- cause they lay 20 per cent fewer eggs the second year. In life for every positive reactions there is a negative. Anyone who goes into Anti-biotic feeding should keep it. up until you are done with the rda.

SWINE DISEASES

Eryslpelas is a disease that causes serious losses in swine. It manifests itself in several differ- ent form. The most common one in called the "Diamond skin form" in which big red-purplish blotches appear on the skin. The pig gen- erally haa a very high tempera- ture and is a very sick animal. It is not this form in which we are most concerned due to the fact that in all these cases the owner will take immediate action. The arthritic form causes very serious losses. This form is less specta- cular this is not as readily recog- lud- There generally is lameness and swelling of one or more joints. Some times the symptoms are not clearly defined. The pig may "0!
