The colt feeding experiments now in
progress at the Iowa agricultural ex-
pertinent station, says The Breeders
Gazette, promise to show some interest
ing results One lot of four weanlings
is receiving skimmilk as a distinctive
feature of the ration. The rest of the
ration consists of clover hay, cut fod-
der. roots and grain mixture of oats.
bran and oilmeal Another lot of the
same age and number is receiving this
ration without the skimmilk. 1t is
thought that the skimmilk is favorable
TO growth. This trial should be of some
interest in determining whether this is
no or not. l. is generally thought that
it is advisable to grind grain for wean
ling colts That station is testing this
point by actual experiment. Four wean-
lings are being fed grain ration con-
sisting of six parts ground oats three
parts bran and one part oilmeal by
weight, with clover hay, corn fodder
and roots in addition. while another lot
of the same number and age is receiv-
ing the same ration. excepting that the
oats are fed unground 1t would seen
that the ground ration would be spe-
cially relished by the colts when their
teeth are changing but il is a point yet
to be determined whether or not it will
pay to grind the grain at all times.

eLACKLEG.
Expert Opinion on Its Prevention
and Treatment.

and Treatment.
The veterinary department of the
Kansas experiment station in bulletin
just issued says that blackleg in cattle
is caused by the blackleg bacillus and
by no other germ. On the other hand,
the blackleg bacillus causes blackleg
and no other disease. By controlling
this bacillus we would have one solu
ton of the question of prevention.
Blackleg is a wound infection disease
that is. it is produced by infection
through a wound. by the entrance of
the blackleg bacillus through wound
into the body tissues This wound may
be in the skin or in the mucous MEM
brane of the digestive tract (mouth.
stomach, intestine).
Blackleg bacilli are found in two
places-in the bodies of dead or diseased
blackleg victims and in certain low,
damp soils. usually bottom lands. In
both places these germs grow and null
tiply. Infected soil or food plants
grown on such SOIL serve as means TO
carry the germs into the animals It's
sues. Wounds or bruises in the animals
skin or digestive membranes. be they
ever SO slight, serve as ports of entrance
for the bacillus The hoofs of animals
and their coats of hair, even their drop
pings, carelessness in attendants. serve
to carry the germs from place to place.
These statements point out two pos
sible methods of prevention:
First-Changing animals from in
fected fields Casually low places with
rich soil) to noninfected grounds (high.
dry places.
We can further prevent the spread
of the disease by burning the dead bod
les of animals that died of blackleg.
avoiding the practice of burying such
carcasses, which amounts practically to
planting the disease germs for future
harvests
Second. -The disease can in a meas
ure be prevented by proper feeding
feeding digestible grasses and root
crops. avoiding rough cornstalks AID
other coarse, hard foods which can pro-
duce small internal or external wounds
or abrasions. and thus provide port of
entrance for the disease germ. The
germ always enters the body through
wound. Sucking calves do not have
these opportunities for wounding their
delicate mucous membranes, and it is
well known fact that they are rarely
afflicted with this disease.
