TO WINTER CATTLE
(Walter M. Lea)
_-is pasture is unusually good for
the season cattle should go into
winter quarters in better shape than
formerly and as it is most import-
ant that the growth and flesh they
now carry be sustained, an extra
elfoit should be made to keep them
growing throughout the winter. The
time was, when horned cattle sold
cheap, eicu when put up in good
flesh und a loss in weight during the
winter season did not seem of much
importance, however at the figure
ull kinds of stock now are worth it
is neither true economy or good
business to allow any animal to
shrink in weight during the winter.
It matters not how scarce the owner
may be of feed it is not a good ex-
cuse aud it is always poor manage-
ment to let stock go back.
Every farmer of any experience
should know within a small margin,
how many head he can carry through
until 1st of June, and should either
cut his stock down before going into
winter quarters or secure or ar-
causing a spraiu, an eulargemenhend
lameness. Severe galloping on heavy;
ground, high or wide jumping with a
heavy weight in the saddle, injudici-'
ous hacl-ling, such as foolish riders or
drivers sometimes have recourse to
otherwise, objects to go in the desir-
ed' direction, arc among the more
common causes of thc disease. It is
also noteworthy that curb is one of
the hereditary complaints the horse is
subject to, therefore a mare suffering
or having suffered therefrom should
not be chosen as a breeder, The l-est
method to detect this defect is to
stand close to the hind quarters of
the animal, and look down the limb
affected, from the cap of the hook,
when a slight enlargement will be ob-
served about 3 in. from the point of
the hock. It is also easily detected
by taking a. glance at the leg side-.
ways. To treat this the obj:-,ct should'
be to reduce the inflammation, and
for this purpose a continual applica-
tion of cold spring water will be rhi-
chicf thing. Equal parts of spirits of
wine, water, and vinegar also form a
range to purchase sufficient feed to S0011 ¥lDPliCHfl0n in the first SU-123 Ui
properly feed all he attempts to
winter. In the raising and feeding of
all classes of farm stock the good
herdsman knows that it is very im-
portant to make any changes of feed ,
slowly, l think easily seventy-five,
per cent. of all sickness in live stock

digestive organs, usually brought on
by a violent change of feed. ‘ If

thing to be done will depend upon the

cumstances, thc best agent probably
will be a blister, consisting of binio-

plied the hair should he carefully clip-

they throw up the 1-ob for a time
but often less than half the quantity
given without any preparatory feed
is very liable to cause a. serious case
of impaction. We must always watch
any changes in feed, and a good rule
of
properly balanced feed without-dam
ger of causing an im\psctiou or stop-
page of the digestive organs. If they
ure over crowded vou simply put
them off their feed for a few days

to call in a veterinary surgeon as h

I fail to see where any farmer can
think it pays him to let his young
growing stock fall in weight and
flesh all winter, when a little extra
feed along with what he has given
would have meant a gain.
This is where the sorrv part comes
in. It costs quite o lot anyway t

MORE EGGS FOR NOTHING
Most farmers keep fowls. Most
farmers, too, do not get as many
eggs as they should, and in most
cases this would be remedied, not by
more expense (for farmyard fowis
must not cost much to keep), but a
little more? trouble and common
sense, For instance, on many farms,
‘ the fowls are fed twice a day-in the
morning and the early afternoon-
generally after the farmer has finish-~
ed his breakfast and dinner. This
means that the unlucky creatures go
without food, (except such as they
pick) from mid-day, or soon after,
till the next morning, sometimes for
nearly twenty hours. Further, if a
hen happens to be laying at feeding
time, and does not come off the nest,
she has to go without n. meal for
twenty hours and most people know
' that laying hens require more food
than others. How can one expect
hen to lay well under such circum-
stances? And yet I know from per-
sonal experience, thut these condi-
tions exlst on many farms.
Again, if a change of diet were
more frequently given farmyard fowls
would lay much better. A change
now und again would cost no more
but the poor fowls have to have
whatever is handy, and often are fed
on one kind of groin for months.
How would the farmer like to have
say bread and butter. without n
change, for a few days even?
If farmers would feed their fowls a
little oftener, say three times R dav
(before they have their own break-
fast, at m d-day, and'just before
dark), and if they would change the
helfers so they will gain rather than ,ood more f,,eq,,e,,,,,,_ _nd ,,mv,d,,

SYS'l‘EM OF BREEDING
One great trouble with the people
who are raising poultry today is the
lack of system in breeding. Careful
breeding and selection is necessary if
one hopes to ever make a success in
poultry raising. Select and breed
from the individuals which come up
to s, certain standard of egg produc-
tion or size, rather than -from the en-
tire flock, as most people -:lio are
f-i011 Slwuld llnvt nliotm. Ol’ have ell- ' raising chickens are inclined io do at
the present time. The application of
the laws of breeding is essential to
success with any kind of live stock.
This important matter is too often
overlooked, and as a result many
,failures are recorded that otherwise
,would have been listed under the
head of success.

DAILY THOUGHTS `
The droppings from the cattle will
'benefit the pasture more if they are
,spread or broken up with a spike-
tooth harrow. This prevents the
grass from being killed out and weeds
,coming in where the droppings have
|lafn.
The most important business of
the dairyman is to increase the
amount of mnnuria] substances und
apply them where they will do _ the
mostigood to the growing crops.
He is l'n no wise xi public benefactor
who keeps two cows to do the work
of one.
A poor milkor is one of the surest
means of diminishing a milk flow.
'Poo many dalrymen are conducting
their business as aside issue when
they should be making it the leading
feature of their farming.
The new cow_has an individuality
of her own and the feeder should be-
come acquainted with her as soon as
possible after she is brought into thc
herd. _

A cow \vill‘i\ever. do hee beet 
she has perfect eonhdence in you.
The modern dairy ‘cowqmust be
handled with understanding, and her
owner must have a knowledge of her
wants and make every effort to sup-
ply them. `
A good cow inthe hands of apoor
dairyman is a poorer proposition
than a poor cow in the hands of a
good dairyman. Both are very -,poor
combinations, however, a. good dairy-
man will not keep poor cows more
than one season. .
Good pasture lands are the basis
of successful dairying.
To make dairying a success we
must make it of interest to the boys.
Good cows are not developed by
chance, but are the product of good
foods.
WHEN DAIRYING DOES NOT
INCREASE SOII. FERTILITY
Far too few farmers raise enough
cows or other live stock on their
farms to supply enough manure to
keep up the fertility of the large av-i
erages. ' There should he an increase
in the number- of head of cattle kept
and n decrease in the number ot
acres necessary to supplyiood foi
these cattle. In other words, he,
should resort to more intensive me-
thods. What farmer is there who has
egfhcienf manure 'to co'verl the Per
cent. of his farm that he would like
to each year? :The man with a 16
acre farm who keeps 40 or 50 cows
and 20 or 30‘ycung stock besides
hogs and horses is 'going to sea re
suits in the increased productiveness
of his field from the manure derived
from these nngmals. `  if
Some may b lievethis tohe impos-
sible. And it iis, if everything that
goes to feed the animals comes from
the farm. Butthls should not be
the cnse. If the animals receive no
feed other thanthat grown on the
farm the fertility of the soil would
be decreasing,,_. for it has been cal-
culated that only four-fifths of any
crop fed to alnirunls is returned to
the soil in theform of manure, That
is, one-fifth goes to make milk, heel
or pork. Hence ic--is easily seen that
if nothing is obtained from outside
thc farm there is an actual lessening
of the plant food. The remedy for
this state of ` affairs is to grow all
the roughage onthe ' farm necessary
to feed the animals and what con-
centrates arc possible, but in the
main the concentrates will have to
be purchased from outside in the
form of cottonseed, meal, linseed,
gluten or corn meal, the kind to be
determined upon by the _price and
[fc-rtilizlng value as well as the food

For orrlinnry purposes thc snatch

degrees. This will cause the earth fo

The distance from the drug at.
which the if-.am is hitched affects the'
depth of the cutting. Shortefiing the
chain tends to lift the front slab

causes the blade to cut more deeply.
The length of hitch may be regiilawd
by lengthening and shortening the

Some attention should be given to
