The most impcrtant prinr-izic ii preventing infectious diseases, whether caused by microbes or pui- asites. is to avoid introduclri into a healthy herd any animal whlgch car- ries pathogenic organisms. An in- fected animal acts as a reservoir for germs or parasites which are cap- able of causing disease in animals. 1t is most important to re- member thst infected animals need not s pear to be ill or be in pou- condi ion; in fact. some of the mosr. dangerous sources of infection are animals which appear to be healthy. The sonndest advice that can be oi- lcred to an owner of healthy an- imals is to allow no animal on his premises unless 1t is known to have come from a herd or flock which is free from disease. It a o im- portant to avoid indirect contact with disease by means oi fann equipment or utensils that have been used around diseased animals. Transport truck; should be disin- fected immediately before use. Hints 0n The Control of Infectious Diseases As has already been mentioned, it b highly deslreable to maintain healthy herds and flocks and pre- vent pathogenic organisms or par- asites from gainin entrance either bly direct or in ect means. i. rough neglect or accident these have gained entrance, and infection is known to be present in the herd, then means must be taken to con- ti-ol its spread. The following are among the principal procedures. (a) Diagnosis-An early diagnosis is of primary importance. The ser- vices of a prac ising veterinarian should be secured if possible, for he can employ specific methods of ex- amination and diagnostic tests which detect the dangerous carrier or irifectcd animals show symptoms, thus makin osslble to kseparate them rom ealthysgtoc (b) lation-When evidence oi infectious disease is found 1n a herd or flock, steps should be taken immediately to protect the animals that remain healthy. The infected animal. or animals should be promptly removed to quarters at a distance form the remainder oi the herd. Arrangements should be made to prevent any direct or indirect contact between the two groups. 1n isolation, the infected animal can be treated and perhaps its life saved, but more important is the fact that here it ceases to be a source of dun. ger to the rest of the herd, (c) Disposal of uead animals.- Certainfactors surrounding the dis- Eosul of dead animals should be orne in mind. Many diseases of Live Stock are communicable . 111811. and because of this an owner should avoid attempting to perform post mortem examinations on ani- mals dying from unknown causes. In conc usion, I present a _few "don’ts' for Live Stock producers, which if observed, will help to avoid losses among Live Stock: Don't keep Live stock in cold draity buildings Such’ an environ- ment is favourable to the develop- merit of such diseases as Influenza, 01191111101110. and Hemorrhagic Se ticemia. on't bring new animals directly into contact with your herd or flock. Always isolate new animals for three weeks to vent the spread oi osslble disease. 01ft. allow lnsanitary Live stock quarters to rob you oi profits and decrease production. All stock barns should be cleaned and disin- fected at more or less regular inter- vatls 31nd particularly before winter s . Don’t risk ruining the dairy herd through such conditions as Mas:- ites. 1f cows show inflamed udders or abnormal milk, have them ex- amined by a Veterinarian. Don't ullow fall pi s to be far. rowed in old hog ots or spring litters in filthy pens.

This will give the feed manufac- turer a better chance to fill your order. He has the same difficulties you have. l.e. labour shortage and shorta es of certain ingredients going to the ration. Feed regulsrly—Don't waste at, ieastj one week's feed supply on han . Wind Breaks We notice in the press lately where farmers are being advised to plant wind-breaks to shelter their orchards which is certainly good advice. Coupled with that should be the advice to plant to protect their buildings also. Our common white spruce is one of the best. if no: the 1101i! best. windbreak and will grow if care is taken. if transplanted anytime of the year, but early spring before growth starts is probably the boot 111119- Choose a cloudy damp clay if pos- sible. Do not let the roots dry out. They may live, but it hinders their growth and recovery is slow. Do not plant spindly trees; select trees grown more or less in the 011811- They are more liable to have limbs near the bottom if given space enough, those will always be tained alive. Trees from one and 1c one-half to three feet. are 5111110018 but 1f plenty sod is taken with the roots. trees of larger size can be quite successfully transplanted Do not plant too close to orchards or billiIliIlgS. Bach foot in height means protection for from fifteen to twen- ty feet. so even a ten foot tree will give protection for a hundred and fifty o two hundred feet. Give trees plenty of room if plant.- lng more than one row. Space them at least twenty-feet apart; twenty- five is better, and they need not be too close in the rows either", from four to ten feet apart and, if plant- ing severai rows, twenty feet apart with trees alternating Ls a good idea. This looks like a ions 501109 and a waste of land when trees are small, but one will be stirprised liow quickly the spaces fill in. _ One of the most important things is to keep it well fenced; if stock is allowed to around the trees. your labour is largelv lost. Cattle rubbing the flies off themselves in summer and browsing on the tips oi which they are very fond at this time of the year spells ruin to your trees. Keep the fence well back from the trees as well, In a dry time trees should be watered but if kept well mulched this is not often nec- essary. The mulch will save mois- ture and keep down the grass. Most; any rubbish usually found around a farm is quite suitable—cld hay or straw, chips, sticks and stones is o. good coat of manure to which they will respond very quickly, They will grow on poor land. but the growth will be accordingly. They will easily grow from two to tlircc feet each year. so that even in five years one should have a shelter from twelve to fifteen feet in height. One may hestitate to cut up a field near the buildings for this purpose but the time soon comes when it will be the most highly prized piece of limd on the fnrm and will enhance its value by hun- dreds of dollars. ~ If the present severe winter will have caused a lot of our farmers to plant shelter belts, it will have served a good purpose in making the farm a more desirable place to live. not only for its utilltv but. ior its. aesthetic value as well which is ’ Dori t. place sheep on pasture in terns parasites. Don't. overcrowd poultry houses. it reduces the vitality of the birds and Don't waste good feed upon ani- mals which are continually in poor condition due ta neglect and un- sanitary suroundings.

This means m. guiarlty and system in the cars of he flock. as well as greater effort t? mGVCDb the waste of feeding u .

ThLs mixed with a commercial concentrate should supply all the ingredients neces- sar or a 300d laying 0r hatching rat on. Where plentv of liquid skim milk or buttermilk is available with some well cured alfalfa, the cost of the ration can be still further luv.- ered.
