break the wind Is sufhcient. The moor
should be dry, but little bedding Is
needed. and that renewed frequently.
Burn all litter and bedding once
week. Keep the herd divided so that
crowding is impossible. Remember.

place that can be provided sick hogs.
The essentials in prevention are good
food, pure water and clean, dry quar-
tiers. The station would be pleased to
receive information from any source
as to the presence Of the disease and
of all successful ways Of checking it.

Watering Horses When Heated.
An English cavalry officer and vet
erinarian writes as follows in the Lon
don Live Stock Journal: Prejudice
dies hard, and the hardest of all to die
in the minds of grooms Is that 1t IL
injurious to give a horse a drink Of
cold water when he is heated from ex-
ercise. Years ago, when I used to train
horses for racing in India. l grappled
with this prejudice. and chung to 1t
with such tenacity that I used con-
stantly to have my horses or their
feed after a strong gallop. One day
returned to the mess-house very hot
and very tired after q long run. and
suddenly thought fit to mentally put
myself in the place of a race horse.
Shall have asked myself, a better
appetite for breakfast If refrain from
drinking till have cooled down. or II
l have a drink right on? Knowing
that could not eat heartily unless I
thereupon felt so fit to eat. and went
so strong over a course of beefsteaks.
ham and eggs, quail, mullins. etc., that
I resolved to try the same treatment
on my horses. My lead was attended
with such success that nowadays all
the trainers in India give their race
horses about half a bucket of cold
water to drink Immediately after .
gallop, and with the best results as re-
cards their appetite and health. I have
not alone never seen. but have never
even heard or read Of any harm to q
horse from drinking cold water when
he was heated. have, however. seen
hundreds of cases Of collie occur in
horses from drinking water after be-
ing fed. on occasions when they had.
previous to eating. been deprived Of
water for some time. Were all grooms
to follow my advice as to watering,
am afraid that many an honest and
hard working veterinary surgeon
would find his income from collie cases
seriously diminished"
Mako Only Honest Cheese.
An Iowa paper says: II we had been
making honest. full milk cheese In
every neighborhood in the land, and
refusing to let pound of 1t leave the
factories until 1t was ninety days old,
the home demand would. by this time.
have used more than is made in the
whole United States. This policy has
made a local market around Ames for
more cheese than the college cream
cry can supply. There are people who
tell you they like q mild cheese best
hut such people do not eat much
could not, because 1t Is
not digestible. Then. II We had been
pursuing this course. the outside world
would be buying our cheese by tho
ship loads. as they buy our beef and
pork. Luckily, the rascals of COM
merce find no way to adulterate beef
and pork. We can export cheese much
more readily than fine butter. because
q good cheese becomes better as 1t

eaters, and cheese eaters are the work.
Ing classes that require nitrogen; they
have no trouble about digesting 1t.
Nor will this class Of people buy tho
bogus article. because they learn to
know the genuine. We, therefore.
have brought upon ourselves az a ma

Adulterated Grass Seed.-Many of our
,rass seeds. as found in the market
re not entirely true to name. A COM
non method Of adulterati0n In this
ase consists Of mixing seed Of wild or
otherwise inferior grasses with that
Which sells for q high price. Thus tall
escue seed. which is sold for 20 cents
. pound, is mixed with English rye
rass. which sells for II cents. The two
,inds Of seed are so near alike that
scotsman can scarcely tell
hem apart The seed Of English rye
rass. being cheap, is also used to
dulterate that Of Italian rye grass.
The Anishing touches are what pay.
