Free Vaccine for sIaekIea.

The first vaccine sent out from the
experiment station was in October
1899. From that time until October.
1904, over four hundred thousand
doses of vaccine have been supplied
free of any charge to farmers and
stockmen of Oklahoma. During thu
above time every effort has been
made to have the vaccine used regu-
larry and in a systematic way, ami
many are doing this, vaccinating their
cattle regularly twice a year. How
ever, the fact remains that at this
time about four out of five requests
state that vaccine is needed because
one or more calves have already been
lost by blackleg This loss can be
almost completely avoided by vacci-
mating the young cattle at regular in
tervals until they are too old to take
the disease.
There is a great variety Of opinions
among cattlemen as to how the calves
get the germ of blackleg into the sys-
TEN. A great many, and possibly the
greater portion of them, believe that
the germ is taken into the body with
either the food or drink. To test this
two calves were purchased, placed in
close stalls, and drenched with a
large dose of pulverized meat from
a calf that had died with the blackleg.
The calves were kept under observa-
ton for a week and no noticeable re-
suits followed drenching with a large
amount of infected meat. At the end
Of this time these calves were in
oculated under the skin of the hip by
taking for each calf one one-hun-
dredth of the amount given in the
drench, with the result that both of
the calves died with the blackleg, one
forty-one hours after incubation and
the other in fifty-two hours. From
this and the results of other work
that are available it is evident that
calves become inoculated with the
germ CT blackleg through some wound
of the skin. This injury to the skin
may be very slight and easily over
looked, but there is sufficient injury
to allow of incubation.
The policy followed by the station
In sending out vaccine is to supply
anyone with the amount of vaccine
needed on receipt Of a request for
the vaccine. This plan has enabled
us to get the vaccine to the party
needing it with the least loss of time,
as it has been our experience that
very few Vaccinate until they have
lost one or more animals. This plan
OF supplying the vaccine will be con-
tinued in the future and all that is
required of anyone is a request for
the number of doses of vaccine need

Nux Vomica Kills.

l.. G. Hill of Wardton, who was in
town to-day, tells us of a novel means
of destroying chicken hawks which is
being employed there. In the feed
prepared for forty or fifty chickens is
mixed one-half a teaspoonful of tine
ture of nux vomica. This poison does
not affect the chickens, so it is as
serted, but in turn does kill the hawk
which makes a meal of one. Such
food carried by the parent bird to
young hawks while still in the nest
also kills them. Hawks have been
causing a great havoc among the
young chickens in that neighborhood,
but are now being materially thinned
out by this notwithstanding core

Wheat Bran For Milk Making.


Men frequently misjudge the value
of feeds by their density. Thus there
is a strong opinion among farmers
that cornmeal is better for milk max.
ing than bran. 1t is heavy and has a
beautiful color and the cow owner as.
sociates it with rich cream. But the
fact is, bran is, in the main, more val.
liable for milk making than is corn.
meal, in spite of the attractive ap-
pearance of cornmeal. The stomach
of the COW is better suited to take
care of bran than of cornmeal, be-
cause it is more bulky. The COW was
made for the purpose of using up just
such waste products as bran would
be without farm animals to consume
it. And bran cannot be judged by it's
lightness. The question of using or
not using bran is one that must be
decided on its price, compared with
the prices of other like feeds. AT the

but not SO high that the digestive APP

permit a pound of bran to go across
the waters, but should buy and feed
every pound of it, thus not only max
ing the profit that may be made out of
it, but saving the fertility for their
land for the fertilizng qualities Of
bran are considerable.
