THE CORNSTALK DISEASE.
How to Prevent this Troublesome AlIment
of Cattle.


The following relative to methods Of
preventing the cornstslk disease is
taken from Bulletin So of the Expert
ment Station at the State Agricultural
college;
OF course the certain method Of pre-
venting cornstslk disease is not to pas
ture the stalk fields, but as many stock
men claim that it pays to pasture stalk
fields, taking into account the losses
that result.
The following precautions have given
the best results when pssturing In the
stalk fields:
/. Cattle should never be started
into the stalk fields hungry. They
should be well fed and Wstered, care
should he taken that bosses do not
keep younger cattle away from the
water, before starting into the stalk
fields. If cattle are we'll fed they will
take more pains in picking and chew
ing their food and are not so apt to
engorge themselves and bring on indi-
gestion. Or, if the disease Is caused
by some poisonous substance the &C
tlon of the noison is much less violent
and less apt to be fatal when taken on
full stomach. Hence, whether the
disease results from indigestion or a
poison, feeding and watering cattle
well before turning into the stalk field
will tend to reduce the Losses.
Salt and plenty of good water are es-
sentisl to the proper nutrition Of all
cattle, and especially If there is q ten
dency to indigestion. Cattle should
have all the good water they care to
drink, often. They should have free
access to salt, OF given small quantities
frequently. Large quantities of salt
at irregular intervals are probably
worse than no salt at all. Cattle crave
salt and If given considerable at one
time will eat sufficient to irritste the
stomschs and bowels, and thus cause
indigestion.
Cattle In stalk fields should have
plenty of good water frequently, snt
salt as described. Salt and water are
only preVentives In so far as they tent
to assist digestion and assimilation,
and thus tend to keep the animals di
gestlVe system In good condition.
2. Cattle should be started into tn,
stalk fields gradually, not allowing
them to remain on but q short time
one.half hour-the FIRST day, and grad
ually increase the time. Such plan
gradually accustoming the cattle to q
change of feed, is less apt to cause in
digestion. Some stockmen think 1t 9
good plan to feed cattle corn fodder
for q week or ten days before turning
into the stalk fields, thus getting tn
cattle used to digesting cornstslks be
fore putting on the stalk fields. Whethe
cornstalk disease results from lndiges
tion or a poison, the above plan vii
tend to reduce losses. 1t Is we'll knowI
that with many poisons a gradual In
crease in the quantity taken produce
kind of tolerance to its action, unit
large doses can be taken without seri
GUS results, that under ordinary con
ditiOns would be fatal. The practic

results towards preventing Cornstslk

FattenIng Hogs on Alfalfa.


farming by the tempting prices offered
for the hay in the neighboring towns.
But these markets rapidly became over
stocked, and as alfalfa could not stand
the high rate OF freight necessary to get
to more distant points, prices pretty
generally fell to $6 per ton baled and
delivered onto cars. At this figure there
Is comparatively little profit, especially
where land and labor are dear. Long
ago l pointed out that this would be the
sure result in every alfalfa raising coun-
try, and that the solution of the diff
Guilty was to be found in feeding the
alfalfa to stock.
Alfalfa is an excellent basis Of food,
both for milch COWS and fattening steers,
but in other cases it must be supple
mented with other food, containing an
excess of carbohydrates, that is heating
and fattening ingredients, in which the
alfalfa is deficient. In the case of COWS,
bran is most generally used, while for
fattening others, corn and sorghum
fodder has given the best results when
mixed with an equal quantity Of alfalfa.
For growing animals, however, alfalfa
is an ideal food, without the addition of
any other matter. 1t is on this account
that young pigs do so we'll on alfalfa
pasture. Many Of these will get to over
$50 pounds in seven months, with moth
ing but alfalfa, except during the last
three weeks when it is advisable to add
wheat shorts to their food, mixing 100
pounds of shorts to 500 pounds Of alfalfa
hay, which should be chopped up with a
cutter and fed wet and well mixed up.
OF course, corn or corn meal might take
the place of the shorts.
To pasture hogs on alfalfa successfully,
it is necessary to observe certain pre-
cautions. In the first place you need two
pastures, 80 that one may be fed while
the other is being irrigated. Be careful
to have a good border between the two
pastures, for il water comes into the
patch where the hogs are feeding they
cannot resist the temptation to root in
the cool, moist earth.
The best means OF preventing the hogs
from roofing up and eating the alfalfa
roots is to cut the hard grlstle Of their
snouts. No amount of rings will prevent
them.
One Of the most important points is to
see that the hogs have a constant supply
Of fresh drinking water. Hogs will not
thrive if the water emits stencil. Even
the pools they wRllow in must be changed
every week, and they should have little
coal oil and sulphur put in daily, so as
to keep off vermin. 1t is q good plan to
nail stats about six inches apart over the
feeding and drinking troughs. This
prevents the hogs from getting into the
troughs and wRllowing in them. Clean
lineGs is all-important in hog raising.
Quarters should be. provided in sepa
rate penp, should the pasture become
wet with rains, as they will tramp out
and ruin the alfalfa if the land is very
wet. 1t is also very desirable that sun
shades be provided.
While kept in the pens little sulphur
should be put in their feed, and also sui
phur and coal oil and solution Of car
bolic acid sprinkled over where they
