Blind staggers In Horses.

The disease known under the specific
name of staggers, and divided into stom-
ach staggers and brain staggers, Is hap
PLY decreasing throughout the country,
though quite prevalent in sections where
rye is heavily fed. Authorities now agree
that the affection of the brain known as
mad staggers, and which is quite rare,
is due simply to an aggravated attack OF
stomach staggers, although it Is ascribed
by some solely to the use OF tight col
lars. The symptoms Of staggers are
sudden abdominal pains, much paving,
some belching, and, in severe cases, acute
pain. The sleepy stage is characterized
by dullness and a disposition to lean
against something as II for support. The
symptoms of the phase known as grass
staggers usually caused by eating the
seed stems of rye grass, are paralysis Of
the hind limbs with partial paralysis OF
the fore limbs, perfect consciousness,
bowels rather confined; urine, appetite,
breathing and pulse natural.
Aloes or oil should be given as a ca
thartic in all cases of staggers; hot TO-
mentations or cloths wrung out in hot
water and placed over the stomach and
bowels will usually give relief. AlOeS
should be administered in doses of from
two to ten drachms twice day, the dose

Abortion In Cows.

Abortion in cows is one Of the most
difficult diseases for the farmer to over
come. 1t is also said to be infectious
and readily conveyed by the bull from
one cow to another, and when once es-
tablished in a herd 1t Is very hard TO
eradicate and causes great loss because
it takes another year before the cow
can produce another calf. Careful ex-
periments have proven that oats are not
only a perfect ration for cows, but also
that they are a preventive as well as a
cure for abortion. The easiest way to
feed them is in sheaf oats. Cut them
while the straw is yet a little green,
just before they are fully ripe, let them
stand in well-capped shocks until thor
oughly cured and seasoned, then stack
and cover well with coarse hay or NOW
away in the barn for fall and winter
feeding They will then answer the
double purpose of hay and grain and
make an excellent food for cattle, horses
and sheep. A better way to feed them
is to cut them in a cutting box and then
sprinkle little bran, corn meal or cot
tonseed meal, or all three mixed, with
them and they will produce both flesh
and milk But simply fed as sheaf oats

Kansas Garden Seeds.

The well-known, enterprising seed
house Of D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit,
Mich, has contracted with farmers along
the Arkansas valley in western Kansas
to grow for their use 400 acres of garden
Seeds Mr.. Ferry has investigated the
matter carefully and finds that western
Kansas will be an excellent place to grow
garden seeds to be sold and distributed
from his large seed house. The ground
Is clean and free from noxious weeds, the
soil is rich and the seeds can be matured
and gathered without being damaged,
bleached or stained by rains. The seeds
will be shipped in bulk to Detroit, where
they will be put up in small packages
and sold all over the country by the pack
age, ounce and pound, and in this way
the product of an acre will be made to
yield several hundred dollars. Western
Kansas, when utilized for the many pur-
poses to which 1t can be adapted, will
become an immensely productive region.

Alfalfa for Swine.

Continued experiments confirm the
beneficial effects from feeding alfalfa to
swine both as pasture and in the form
OF hay For brood sows and young pigs
It furnishes splendid pasture, and cured
as hay 1t Is an excellent food for winter
in connection with grain. The yield
of alfalfa is very great per acre, from six
to twelve tons, depending upon the fer
tility and moisture in the soil, and hence
1t yields a larger amount Of available
food than almost any other forage plant.
1t really has no equal as pasture for
hogs and Is the cheapest and most whole
some food the farmer can grow, Hogs
will grow rapidly and fatten upon 1t and
with corn the last two or three months
the hogs can be sent to market in fine
shape without feeding very much ex-
pensive grain, and the secret of cheap
pork and profits in raising hogs Is In
making their growth upon cheap food
like alfalfa pasture.

Millions of Eggs.

There is general impression that all
the surplus eggs are used for food, and
many farmer, when he takes eggs to
market that are little aged and finds a
ready sale for them, perhaps wonders
what the surprised cook will say when
she undertakes to prepare those eggs for
food. But if he only knew the various
purposes for which eggs are used he
would not wonder that all sorts OF eggs
find sale in the market. They are shipped
to some central station where they are
carefully examined by experts who make
no mistakes, and are sorted into three
or four grades, and no one ever heard Of
any, even the poorest, being thrown into
the sewer. The best are sold for cook
ing and table use, such as boiling, poach-
ing and straight up" which is fried on
one side only and not turned over. The
second grade is sold to bakers and candy
makers and are used in making cakes
and candies. The others go into the

broken eggs and poor matches. If eggs
become broken in the nest and the
others fouled with the contents, or If
they become covered with anything that
closes the pores in the shell, the chick in
the egg will die from lack of air. To
prevent this the eggs should be carefully
washed when an accident of this kind
occurs, in water little above blood heat.
ID not use soap of any kind in washing
eggs, but carefully wash them, using
cloth, until they are perfectly clean, do
ing this as quickly as possible and re-
turning the eggs to the nest as soon as
washed, and no harm will come to them.
1t is best to take but one egg from the
nest at time, washing it and returning
it before taking out another
Feed the hens nothing but whole corn
and water and allow them to take dust
bath every day. Be sure that the hen has
no lice on her before setting her, and
do not put insect powder on her while
she is setting. To do so may kill the
chicks in the eggs.-Farmer Voice.

ArtlchOkes.

Artlchokes are being grown in many
places for hogs and cattle. They are
planted about the same as potatoes and
mature in October. The hogs II al
lowed to root will dig them for them
selves. For cattle they are dug and
fed fresh. One acre of artichokes will
produce more feed than three or four
acres of corn. They are good food for
sows at farrowing and for cows at time
of calving but care must be taken not
to overfeed cows at that time. The Je-
rusalem artlchoke is considered one Of
the best varieties and good seed can
be easily obtained at about a dollar a
bushel. When once established they will
reseed from the tubers left in the ground
and will thus become permanent crop.
With alfalfa for summer pasture and ar
tichokes for winter food hogs can be
raised at very low cost and without
much risk Of loss from disease.

quently made in the spring, and that
invariably cause an attack of Indigestion
more or less violent. Any change in
food should be brought about gradually,
and so also should radical changes in
the work required of the animal. 1t
stands to reason that a horse lightly fed
for two or three months OF winter, with
but little work to do, is not in fit condi-
tion to put into the field for ten hours
work at heavy plowing. Give horses
wholesome food regularly and according
to the work done by them. Keep them
from exposure to draughts of cold air,

eggs are annually used by the calico
print works. Wine CHARTERS use more
than 100000 dozen each year. Photo
graphic establishments use many mil
lions of dozens and many more are used
by b0Okbinders, kid glove makers and
leather finishers. The demand for their
use for manufacturing purposes is in
creasing much faster than the table de-
mand, and this may account for the rea-
SOL that any kind Of eggs will find sale

following treatment will give relief in
most cases: An injection of clear wa
ter of the same temperature of the stable
should first be given, followed by a pill
made Of five drachms Of powdered Bar
BADGES aloes, one drachm mercurious
chloride and enough linseed meal to
make stiff pill with the addition of
little water Rub belly and flanks with
coarse cloth or sacking If the animal is
chilled. After this treatment the horse
should not be worked or violently exer-
cised for at least twenty-four hours. If
the attack does not succumb to this treat
ment 1t is sufficiently severe and dan
gerOus to need the immediate services
of skilled veterinarian.

Number Of ROOsters.

There is some discussion as to the
number OF roosters required with a flock
of hens in order to procure the most
fertile eggs. The general opinion seems
to be that 1t Is necessary to have a
rooster for each twelve or fifteen hens
in order to obtain eggs that will be GER
tain to hatch. Very much depends upon
the condition of the fowls and the way
in which they are kept. II the stock Is
strong and vigorous and has unlimited
range, one male for twenty hens will be
ample to secure fertile eggs. But II the
hens are closely yarded, twice that num-
lber of males will be necessary for the
same number Of hens.

Burning Straw.

A great many Western farmers burn
uD the unsightly straw stacks as soon as
the grain is threshed out. They argue
that the straw stack Is not worth the
room it takes and that 1t is more trouble
to work around it than the straw Is
worth and so they set fire to 1t to get
it out of the way. Careful experiments
have proven that in each ton of straw
there is ten pounds of nitrogen, which is
worth 20 cents a pound to put back onto
the land as a fertilizer So that the
farmer who burns up 100 tons OF straw
robs himself and his land of 5000 worth
of fertilizer and has nothing to put back
onto the land to supply this waste, And
The Advocate and news., 1898-05-11

yet, after raising four or five good crops
in succession and burning the straw
every fall he will throw all the blame
on Providence for the three or four fail
ures Of crops which follow, and never
stop to think that after the nitrogen in
the soil Is exhausted and burned up, ma
ture arbitrarily steps in and gives the
land a rest by refusing any more crops
until the fertility Of the soil is at least
partially restored.

they will put the COWS in fine condition
and act as a preventive and cure for
abortion and farrow cows will be more
likely to get in calf. A feed or two OF
dry oats is an excellent thing for cows
at time of calving, especially when they
do not clean we'll or readily, and for
milch cows ground oats and bran are
splendid food for producing large flow
of good rich milk.
