Preparing Young Stock for Winter

Preparing Young Stock for Winter.
The Prairie Farmer says: 1t becomes
an important part of the work of the farm
to get the young stock in condition for
winteling. To have any Young stock
whatever held on to green feed till the
last moment possible and then suddenly
changed to the dry winter rations is bad
policy. In September and October, when
the corn and fodder are juicy and engag-
Ing, feed some Of both. 1t will prepare
them for the changed diet of winter and
will give them stamina to maintain them
during that trying period. They Will eat
less by having mixed diet, and what they
eat will do them much more good. The
teeth, gums and jaws of young animals
are often sorely tried by waiting till WIN
ter weather to begin to feed" The grain
Of the corn is hard, the fodder dry and
comparatively unpalatable, the hay very
dinerentfrom the moist, juicy grass. Thus
LED before the winter, their habits will
hardly sustain any change and the sys-
TEN receives but little shock. Young
STOCK that come late in the season should
receive special attention IN this respect.
special system Of dietetic training
should be early put in practice and corn
meal, oil meal, bran or sbipstufYs come
prohtably into play. More than half Of
the loss and suffering OF stock during the
winter may be prevented by early and
Iudicious feeding during the fall months.

A DisinCectant in Chicken Cholera

"A DisinfeCtant in Chicken Cholera.
DR.. Salmon, Chief of the Veterinary
Division of the United States Agricul-
tural Department, says that during his
experiments in chicken cholera he has
found it necessary to use the same coop
over and over again, and frequently it
was impossible to place them on fresh
ground, and in some cases even the accu.
mutations of excrement were not re-
moved, at all times reliance was placed
upon solution of commercial sulphuric
acid of the strength OF one part to two
hundred of water, and the watering
trough, coops and ground thoroughly sat
urated with it. In no single instance out
OF more than hundred have the most
susceptible fowls contracted the disease
from such disinfected ground or coops.
