Almost everybody likes best the meat
of young animals, bat the reason why
does not appear to be so generally un-
derstood Il will be said, of course,
that the young chicken is more tender
and delicate, and has sweeter flavor
than the old fowl, and the same also of
the young pig or lamb as compared with
the old one Of the same species The
truth seems to be that the young aui-
mails meat is best because 1t has never
been either pinched and starved Or been
surfeited by overfeediag. AS proof of
this we have seen runt pigs killed which
have been stunted still more by over
feeding with corn, as every farmer knows
is liable to happen The pigs we're sick :
ly, or at least had SO poor appetites that
they could eat very little, aud we're at
last killed, as it seemed impossible to
make them grow. There was tat enough
in such pigs, but it never seemed to us
wholesome fat. and we would much pre-
fer a cut from thrifty pig that weighed
$50 or 200 pounds It is lesson that
all feeders have to learn. that only by
keeping the digestive organs in good
condition aud making the animal fatten
rapidly can gain be probably made or
the meat thus produced be wholesome

Sore Mouth in Cattle.

DR. A. W. Biting, of the Purdue
Agricultural Experiment Station, issues
a bulletin in relation to sore mouth
among cattle, which is now prevailing
in many localities in Indiana aud else
where The disease made its appear
ance in Indiana 10 1891 aud 1892, and
since then very few cases have been seen
until this season. 1t is disease that
attacks cattle at any age, and in few
instances attacks horses II appears
chiefly when the stock is on grass and is
supposed to be due to some abnormal
condition in the pastures 1t is not con-
tagious, so far as known, yet it is re-
garded as good policy to separate those
affected from those unaffected The
symptoms are that the animals lose ap-
petite, stand about great deal and
champ their jaws, the saliva running
from the corners Of the mouth the
muzzle has a peculiar brownish hue, ex-
tending to the nostrils and the inside of
the lips. These latter swell, the gums,
pads and sides Of the tongue become
reddish, and the tongue often swells to
such degree as to keep the mouth
open, and very disagreeable olor EN-
anates from the mouth. After few
days the membrane peels of the gums,
lips. tongue, etc, in patches, leaving
them raw, and lameness and soreness Of
the teats often follows. The disease
runs its course in from six to ten days,
during which time the animal is unable
to eat any bard food The bowels are
usually constipated. The treatment REQ
commended is to apply an astringeut
wash, consisting of fannie acid, one half
ounce, glycerinc eight ounces, and water
sufficient to make a quart. A saturated
solution Of boracic acid is also good. and
q wash consisting Of cresoline at the
rate Of half an ounce to quart of water
is also recommended The feed should
consist of gruels aud sloppy food. In a
few cases the disease has been reported
as black tongue, but this is an error, as
black tongue is one form Of anthrax and
all anthrax symptoms are absent
