SWINE DYSENTRY Darrhea and infectious enteri- :s of growing pigs in quite often urn after pigs have been weaned arrl on until they are four or five months of age, diarrhea due to .z.test.inal inflammation and in- 'N'I.i0n occurs. In some outbreaks t;tc disease is quite severe and ous losses are experienced both .':om pigs which die and those iiiiicli become chronically affect- ti and remain stunted. At the present time the cause of the disease is thought to be due to a deficient nutrition and germs -which damage the lining mem- lirane of the Intestines, In the mriy and acute stages of the con- dtjrin the affected animals may tic quite sick, off feed and revered. :-onie may die within a day or two after they are first noticed ink. others become chronically affected and if the intestines are examined by post mortem it will he found that much of the lining membrane of the bowel has been destroyed. In many instances outbreaks of this nature occur in pigs that are not being adequately fed and are being kept in dark, damp and 'ilIhy pens. such circumstances ravor the occurrence of the dis- vase for if there are important ele- -tients of feed lacking the disease rmlsting powers of the pigs are lowered and the unsanitary pig pen usually provides the infection. occasionally, however, an infec- groups of young pigs that are apparently well fed and cared for. The first -tnticahle symptom is diarrhea ni- ihough the affected pigs may not have been eating as well as usual mid they are fevered The diar- ;hoclc discharges are watery. sometimes blood tinged and the ?l'limBI loses flesh rapidly. In very ncute cases they may die in two or tiiree days after the commence- ment of the disease, other cases l.'lgCF on. become chronic, and do tot thrive. When an outbreak of riseasc of this nature occurs no tme should be lost in endeavour- .:'.i-' to control it. it is advisable to SPDRFEIIE the sick from the healthy lids. putting both groups in a. ti-min pen. The pen in which they develop- vft the dscase should be thorough- !” cleaned out and disinfected bo- .'tl'0 they are returned to it or c tor pigs are put in it. Diarrhoeic a.”r.-tions in pigs should never be r in- rdcd lightly for .in some . res it is a symptom or a com- : . ntion of the more serious vin- fcritous diseases such as swine fviizpelas and hog cholera. Breeding Problems inagement is an imporlanli 'r in infertility in some herds is difficult to control. Most .lll'ECIlUll diseases can be attrib- tit:-d to poor management and importance was discussed in week's column. Another very drfrtite predisposing factor. which is strictly an environmental one. I the 366 day production record. which is so common in better llerds. In order that the cow l valuable might milk the full year she is not bred until nearly five months after calving. Heavy feeding usual- ly accompanies this type of test- ing and by the time the cow is bred she is past. her natural time of breeding and has begun to lay on fat. The calfbed becomes em- bedded with fat making it larger and heavier. The enlarged uterus then assumes a more forward position which makes it difficult to function properly. secretions collect in the horns of the uterus and a most. undesirable condition develops. In turn this most unde- sirable condition causes a general upset, which in the majority of cases will cause cystic ovaries. When this condition occurs it is difficult to correct. Nutrition is always suggested as I. factor in infertilty especially under the extreme nutritional de- ficiencies. This usually presents a herd problem which is too lengthy to discuss at this time. However. it should be stated that nutrition plays an important part in fertil- ity under circumstances of stress such as a long hard winter, etc. There are many misconceptions held ooncerning the practical use of minerals and vitamins. Therc is a notion that poor feed such as SIIEIV Oll 1,)00l' hay can econom- ically be converted into a good feed by the addition of mineral or vitamin supplements. The sec- ond misconception deals with the need for special mineral and vita- min supplements for reproduction Usually the need is for more and better fcedsiuffs, and additional protein rather than for supple- ments which are thought to be necessary for reproduction. In general. with few exceptions. practical rations that are neces- sary for maintenance of mature farm animals in a vigorous con- dition and for growth of young animals are also satisfctory for re- production. A fact not realized by many ani- mal brceders is that fertility is an milk production, body conformi- tion and other characteristics. Many families within breeds have largely eliminated themselves and even whole breeds of livestock have passed out of existence be- cause of poor reproductive per- formance. High production is generally thought to be a direct cause of lowered fertility. This, might be true in individual cases which sacrifice high production at the expense of their general health. However. if the character mr high fertility has been bred into a giv-. en family along with the high pro- duction. then there is no decrease in breeding efficiency. This can be observed by following some of our more outstanding producers here in this Province. Value of Manure Would it surprise you to know that for each thousand pounds of weight a cow produces approxim- ately flftcen tons of manure an- nually, a bull eight and a half tons, sheep seven and a half tons, hogs eighteen tons. a horse ten tons, poultry four and a half tons. These figures have been comput- ed on a large number of animals. Making and keeping the soil productive is the very function of successful Agriculture and general piosperity. It has been well said that good soils, good farms and good living go hand in hand, on this basic it neccessitates an ani- mal agrlculture. one in which the uianure is carefully conserved and properly applied and in which suptplementts of commercial fer- tilizer and lime are used intelli- gently when and where they are needed. Since agriculture in this Province is primarily based on a livestock agriculture we are in a very fa- vorable posltlon, if good judge- ment and sound practices are ex- evclsed in the conservation and application of animal fertilizer namely manure. , The term manure refers to a mixture of animal excrements and bedding. From the standpoint of soils, barnyard manure contains the following valuable ingredients (1). Organic Matter. It supplies organic matter which cannot be obtained in commercial fertilizer. Organic matter ,which constitutes three to six per cent of weight of most. soils. improves soil tllih, increases water holding capacity, lessens water and wind erosion, lniproves aeration. re- gulates soil temperature. and has a beneficial effect on soil germs. It is the life blood of the land. (2). Plant food. It sulpplles plant food or fertility. especially nitrogen. phosphorous and potash.

It iilumines the pre- sent, and after it is over, it be- comes a glowing memory that heartens us when the going is rcugh. We had just such an hour, last week at the reception of Mrs. T. W. L. Prowse, wife of His Hon- our. Lieutenant Governor Prowse. The afternoon was definitely a refugee from a warmer clime. the road was perfect, and.we came early and stayed late with no worry about the return trip, and we enjoyed every minute. Mrs. Prowse, receiving her guests with the handsome distinguished Lieutenant Governor beside her. was most decorative in a gown of a raspberry shade, cleverly chosen to harmonize with the rich warm wine tones repeated so effectively in rugs and draperies, and fumi- ture.

There was no waiting line when we entered the dining room and so felt justified in lingering over our tea. The room formed an exquisite picture with pink and sil- ver as the leading motif. Silver bowls filled with pink snapdragons and carnations accented the deli- cate pink walls.

Strange as it may sound. the tvoodcock carries its young in flight. from the nesting ground. holding them. one at a time, be- tween its legs. No one can as yet explain bird migration on a basis of intelligent action. as in the case of humans who seek milder climate for the winter. Perhaps it is some inborn instinct that takes the bird on its long flight when Fall comes. There is a curious chain of circumstances involved. which only too well ill- ustrates the mystery of bird migra- tion.

Scientific experts have proved time, and again that the crow is worthy of his hire - that the bird which destroys enormous numbers of insects. etc.. is as much entitled to a little corn as the horse that plows it in. Professor Tveadwcll, who experi- mented upon some young robins kept in captivity, learned that each bird consumed 68 earthworms daily - more than its own weight in 12 hours! If laid end to end these worms would form a 14 foot link. Man at this rate, would eat a- bout 70 lbs of food a day, and drink five or six gallons of water. Indeed, most birds are eaters of insects or seeds. Seventy-three per cent of their diet being seeds or insects injurious to the farmer. And the farmer who wantonly des- troys these birds is merely cutting off his own profits. . . . Where would we be without our birds? In a short time the insects unchecked, would have eaten everyl green thing off the globe! Conaiderint, the enormous amount of work certain birds are doing for our farmers, it is surprising how few of them take any pains to secure service; to get help from the feathered creatures as well as from spray and insect powder which costs a good deal over a period of years. The truth is that too few of us realize the true situa- tion which is why the obvious thing to do is neglected. One of the most successful fruit- growers in British Columbia en- tered some years ago into a busi- ness partnership with a group of birds whose special appetite for special insect pests make them in- valuable pavincrs. Here and there between the orchard trees this wise fellow set up high poles, and from them hung gourds for the birds to nest in. Result: less spray- - iiig, fewer insects, is bigger and a better crop, 0 U 0 There is no sound that cannot. be imitated by the niocking-bird or the icllow-bteasted chat.
