nervous excitement which is the worst
of all causes tending to produce the

born and the COW has no fear for its
safety. The critical point is already
past, and before the cow has regained
consciousness of any danger, the accus-
toned attendant brings warm drink
of cruel to the cow, picks up the calf,
wraps it in sheet and carries it out
of hearing or smell, to the place pro-
vided for it, where it is fed and reared
until it is weaned, and fed on other
food.
If all this is done with quietness and
promptness the COW will seem to Who'll

realized that it had been born, and by
the quiet attendance of the usual keep
err it's notice may be diverted other
wise, by frequent feeding with NOR

until the next function, the radiance
of the afterbirth, has taken place. In
two or three hours the cow is quietly

BUYING FROM ADOPTING HERDS.

A correspondent, who has an op-
portunity to buy improved cattle quite
cheap from herd that has been
aborting for two or three years, writes
us to know whether it would be safe
to buy young male that has never
been used, whether it would be safe
to buy yearling heifer in calf, and
whether it is safe to buy COWS that
have aborted two or three times. AS
similar questions likely arise in the
minds of many of our readers. we give
a public answer
Abortion is not a disease but a
symptom of a disease. The disease
is a germ which affects the covering
of the calf, or the calf bed, resulting
in the death of the calf and it's subse-
quent abortion, or removal as foreign
matter 1t is generally spread by the
bull; hence we would under no cir
cumstances buy bull that has been

B. C. STOCK IMPORTATIONS.

Duncan's Station, British Columbia.
Dear Sir:-In view of the growing
interprovincial trade in live stock, the
Ontario department of agriculture has
perfected arrangements whereby or
ders sent there can be filled expedite
ously and economically.
1t is patent that in several lines of
live stock, the supply in British Co.
lumbia is not equal to the demand and
our stockmen find it necessary to pro-
cure from outside sources, both breed
ing animals and stock for feeding. In
always be required to keep up the stan
dard of the stock in the province, just
as Americans and Canadians gener-
ally have found it necessary to make
frequent importations from Europe.
To meet this demand in our province
we must look largely at the present
time to Manitoba and Eastern Canada,
where it is possible to secure in a
short time large number of animals
at fair prices. Some very good stock
is now raising in Alberta, but just at
present prices are relatively higher
than in the east. 1t is possible that
very suitable stock may be secured in
the northwest in the near future and
arrangements have been made to pur-
chase these when occasion offers.
l shall be pleased to furnish infor-
nation as to prices, etc., at any time
and to supply proper forms for order
ing stock. Perfect banking arrange
ments have been made for the prompt,
safe and economical transaction of this
business, particulars of which may be
obtained on application to me.
NO responsibility is assumed by my
self or the Ontario department of agri-
culture for the quality or safe trans
pOrtation of the stock, but every pre-
caution and care will be taken to en-
sure a satisfactory carrying out of the
orders. Mr.. A. P. Westervelt, secre-
tary and Manager of the Dominion
Live Stock associations, Parliament
buildings, Toronto, will be responsible
for the selection, purchase and ship
ment of all stock ordered.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1902-11-01

The charges for the transportation
of pure bred live stock from the col
lecting point in Ontario to any point
on the main line of the G. P. R. in
British Columbia, will be as follows:
Males or females under months$18.00
Males or females over months
under 10 months. ............ 5000
Males or females over 10 months $500
Sheep
Per head ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 500
Pigs
Under months ............... 900
Over months ................ 1000
Railway charges on car lots will be
less, and quotations for either pure
breds or stockers in car lots will be
furnished on application. The above
rates include feed, attendance and
stop-Over charges, but do not include
freight to the collecting point in the
Columbia. If a car is filled Cor nearly
so), with stock for points on the s. &
O. R. R. the rates would be the same
as to corresponding main line sta
llon. AS an example: If only few
head intended for Okanagon points
were included in car going west, the
charges from Sicamous south would be
extra, but if the majority of animals
in a car were consigned to station
on the branch line, the car would leave
the main line at Sicamous and animals
for points west would be transhipped
there. Each car will be sent out in
charge of an experienced and careful
man employed regularly for this pur-
pose.

used in an aborting herd, unless we
we were prepared to disinfect care
fully both before and after service.
1t would be entirely safe, however, to
buy a young bull or to buy heifer
that has not been bred. This would
be safe, quite SO.
1t would not be entirely safe, but
under certain circumstances might be
risked, to buy COWS that had aborted
two or three times in succession if
they could be bought at a low price
and could be kept separate from the
home herd until they had produced
their calves or shown that they were
not free from the disease. We know
of one prominent dairyman who has
abortion in his herd all the time, al
ways, however, taking the two-year-old
heifers. By the time these become
four or five years old they are free.
That is, in the course of three or four
years abortive COWS become immune
to the germ.
Abortion is much more prevalent
than our readers generally understand
and once more we wish to warn them
against buying cows at farmers sales
where abortion has prevailed in the
herd for any time. The losses from
this cause would be alarming if they
were generally known. We seldom go
to an institute but that some farmer
takes us to one side, tells us he has
abortion in his herd, and wants to
know how to get rid of it.
AS heretofore stated, if we had a
herd of common cattle in which cpl
demic abortion had appeared, and we
were sure it was epidemic abortion,
we would fatten them and sell them to
the butcher. With thoroughbred
cattle it is entirely different as in
that case it would pay to go to large
expense under the care of skillful
veterinarian and cure them, using
both carbolic acid as heretofore pre-
scribed, and outward applications. 1t
is a difficult job, but it can be done,
and it is worth while doing for a
thoroughbred herd. Wallace's Farmer.

PREVENTION OF MILK FEVER.


known as parturient or milk fever, is
easily avoided, but cured with diff
Guilty. I have never known case of
it in any herd managed under the
right circumstances. 1t is especially
a disease due to plethora intensified
by the disturbance Of the nervous sys-
tenn by the excitement of calving. By
plethora is not meant actual fat, the
result of long high feeding, but that
condition of the blood in which the red
largely increased amount of solid mat
ter in the blood. But this condition
does not necessarily produce the dis
ease; it is only favorable to it's devel-
opment by some disturbance of the
nervous system. This may be due to
several causes, and not only at the
time of calving, but as this greatly in
creases the tendency to it, it is then
that attacks of the disease may be
feared more than at any other time.
Close confinement in the stall, when
the natural disposition is to gain some
secluded, quiet place in which to hide
with perfect freedom and sense of
safety, is one of the causes. Plethora,
with its attendant tendency to a high
teperature and feverish condition, is
another. A costive condition of the
bowels, by which plethora is not re-
lieved but rather intensified, is an
~ Iii no
habit, and intense pressure on the
whole system by reason of the con
dition of the cow not to mention ner-
vous excitement by reason of worry
for want of that sense of safety which
is instructive in all animals under
these circumstances, all these con
spire to excite the nervous center
the brain-and cause a flow of blood
to it, which is the most marked symp-
tom of the disorder.
To avoid all these conditions is easy
enough. The animal is to be dried
of her milk in good time, at least be-
fore the udder is changing it's cOndi
ton to the new milking. The food is
to be reduced fully in proportion to
the reduction of that needed to sustain
the COW in full milk, and it should be
changed to such as will cool the sys-
tenn and render the action of the bow
calf, which is taught to drink it, and
this once done, the future work is re-
duced to a minimum. The calf having
never sucked the dam will never miss
the deprivation, and after more than
thirty years in which this system has
been practiced, experience has shown
that in two or three generations the
COWS evince no desire to nurse their
calves. and the calves drink the milk
at once by the least fnducement to do
so by the use of the fingers to teach
them. And in the time mentioned
there has not been an instance of
trouble of any kind with the COWS,
who after the fourth day go to their ac-
customed place with the others, and
if they see their calves at any time
after they never exhibit any desire
to notice them Both calves and COWS
are perfectly weaned from the begin
ming, and the calves, never having
anything causing them to awaken the
desire, never get that troublesome
