Sixteen sheep which had been summer
fed on closely pastured prairie, and
watered from nearly dried-up ponds,
were found infested with the fringed
cestode. The other fifteen sheep had
grazed on abundant grass, had access
to O plentiful supply Of pure water anu
were entirely free from internal para
sites. Thus the region near Oakwood
Lakes was remarkable for its exemption
from sheep parasites. The facts al
ready ascertained in this Investigation
indicate that if the young lambs are
fed untainted food in troughs, or on
clean pastures, and given an abundance
of clean water, with liberal supply OF
salt, there is little danger Of their be-
coming infested with the fringed ces-
tode AS it Is generally believed that
more prairie sheep die during their first
winter from the effects Of the fringed
cestode than from any other cause, this
line of investigation will be continued

two, which yielded 1927, or an average,
roughly, of 154 eggs each in the year.
For the present year 1T of these fowls
have given the grand total Of 22,270
eggs. The record is as follows: Octo-
Der qS96), 96S; November, 1,104; Deem
Der, 1,6OS; January QS9O, 1906; Feb

May, 1927; June, 1895; July, 1928; Au-
gust Ito the 10Th inclusive), 1896. The
balance of receipts over expenditure,
taking into account the stock in hand,
leaves very substantial interest up
on the capital invested. The sale book
for 1896 shows that $4,000 eggs, 444
hens and 261 ducklings were sold. The
eggs for 1855 realized fraction over
penny a piece, while the $4,000 were
trifle under. Poultry keepers ought
not to sell March and April pullets, as
many farmers do, for they lay in win
ter, when eggs are very scarce, and,
consequently fetch high prices. Pen
ming up fowls is strongly recommend
ed, because they cannot stray and lay
away from home, the eggs are always
fresh and quickly gathered, broods are
not Matched at the wrong time, and 1t
is easy to see If anything is amiss with
the birds.

todes were found in the small intestine
near the entrance of the common bile
duct, and also in the smaller bile duct,
far up into the lobes of the liver At
this time the cestodes were from one
half inch to three inches long, and the
eggbearing segments were not mature
enough to be breaking away from the
worms. AS some Of the sheep were not
responding properly to their feed, it
was predicted that all were infested and
the flock was isolated Neither at this
time nor at later autopsies were any
of the broad tapeworms found in the
intestines, and it is probable that the
purging caused by the rape had ex-
PEELED them in September. Throughout
the month of April, thirteen of these
sheep were slaughtered, the viscera ex-
amined, and every sheep was found in
tested with fringed cestodes. These
parasites were most numerous in the
enlarged bile ducts of the liver, and in
the small intestine near the orifice OF
the bile duct, which was usually so en-
Iarged as TO easily ADMIT an ordinary
lead pencil. A few Of the gall cysts
contained one or two of the cestodes.
In six sheep the pancreas was also in
tested, the fringed cestodes being found
far up in the pancreatic ducts, three
inches from the small intestine. The
condition of the sheep did not vary with
the relative number of these internal
parasites, some of the largest and fat
test sheep containing as many fringed
cestodes as the lighter weight sheep.
All of the sheep were so carefully fed
as to be thrifty and well nourished
throughout the experiment. This care,
with their rapid fall fattening, caused
their mutton to be Of the best quality,
and by far the best obtainable in
Brookings this year. At later stages OF
the trouble the sheep would have lost
flesh and the emaciated would have
thus been made unfit for eating. There
is no proof that the fringed cestode in
tests human beings. The fringed ces-
tode resembles liver huke both in ap-
pearance and effects. Both fatten al

in cold weather; bring the feed to her,
Winter pastures are the delight OF the
horse raiser and the steer farmer, but
delusion to the winter dairyman. Be
not deceived. The weather in winter
is not suited to milk production and
the COW must be sheltered from the
rain. snow and wind. No matter how
much green grass you have out in the
winter pasture, the COW giving milk is
not the animal to turn out there to
eat it. She will do we'll at it for a
time, but soon will adjust herself to
the climate and fatten instead of con-
tinuing to fill the pail until spring.
The place where creameries have to
shut down in winter because of lack OF
milk is where winter pastures are the
most of a success, and the places where
winter dairying is most successful are
those where no reliance is placed on
winter pasture for cow feed. This does
not prove that succulent food like sil-
age and roots Is deleterious In winter.
Far from it. But succulent food should
be fed in a warm barn, not out in the
open field. This is hard thing to
impress upon those who are lovers OF
the steer. The more rich feed a steer
has the less he cares for shelter He
will often sleep in the snow from
choice. The heifer fed like steer
will be much like one, and as unlike
what she should be for milk as posi-
ble Be careful not to put her on
starchy diet and expose her to cold
winds, nor even keep cow in milk on
pasture in cold weather. Shelter her,
make her comfortable without forcing
her to use her food as fuel to keep her
warm. Exposure is fatal mistake no
matter how seductive may be the
temptation.

Cow Comfort.

One of the hardest things to impress
upon farmers is the value Of comfort
to the COW, writes E. G. Bennett in
New York Produce Review. No mat
ter how we'll and wisely we feed, if the
COW is not comfortable she will not
eliminate a full mess Of milk. When
the COW is wet and chilled she uses the
food for warming herself, and what is
used in this way does not appear in
the milk pail. 1t is gone. radiated to
the wild prairie winds; lost forever. A
cold rain causes her to shrink in milk.
A raw wind dries her up. Foraging in
the stalk fields in winter will do more
harm than good. She must be where
tn. temperature approximates summer
temperature II she is to make milk as
she will in summer weather. Don't
send the COW to the fields for her feed

broods of chickens and ducklings. Octo-

Experiment stations and Poultry.

Within the past three years the expe-
rlment stations have given much atten-
ton to poultry, and the wise professors
who had exhausted the field of cattle
feeding were surprised at the amount
OF work on their hands in the poultry
line. They found that there were a
thousand and one little details they
had never anticipated, and instead of
winding up the experiments in a few
months they have been compelled to 20
on with their work for several years
before they can give results. The con-
sequence is that great interest is be-
ing created in poultry, and those who
supposed that there was little or moth
ing to learn have discovered that they
knew less about the management of
poultry than of larger stock. The sta
lions have given much valuable infor-
nation on methods Of feeding, and the
diseases of poultry have received spe-
cial attention. Considering that the
poultry interests are valuable, and that
millions Of dollars are made on the
farms every year from poultry, the sta
ton work will result in incalculable
beneft.-Ex.

Carrots for Horses.-Of all roots with
which horses are tempted, the carrot,
as rule, is the favorite, and perhaps
the most beneficial. 1t is said to be
somewhat diuretic in its effects, and to
exercise a salubrious influence on the
skin. Certain it is that a sick horse
may be coaxed into eating carrots when
disinclined to partake of other nourish-
ment, and the greatest benefit results.
For the ailing horse carrots are most
valuable as an article Of diet, and a few
may be given with advantage even tn
a horse in healthy condition.-The
