Symptoms of Grub in the Head.

This disease consists of grubs Gar
vae) of the sheep botfiy, which attacks
sheep when at pasture by flying about
their heads and, darling on to the nose,
deposit eggs on the end of it near the
nostrils, or in the nostrils, if possible;
and the eggs, being really alive, crawl
up the nasal passages into the vacant
part of the front of the skull, called
the nasal sinuses. The grubs remain
there until mature, some not maturing
until the next spring, but in the mean
time annoying the sheep very much
causing them to hold up the head,
snort and shake the head, and in some
cases death occurs. The remedy is
to keep the sleeps noses smeared with
TAR softened with lard or oil, by which
the grubs are held fast and killed. The
flies at work in the late summer are
from the grubs deposited late last
year and having stayed in the sleeps
head all the winter, causing much an
noyance, the sheep running about,

STOCK
Ground And Unground Grain.

We are frequently asked whether 1t
pays to grind corn for pigs, and our
usual answer to the question is: What
is a pigs time worth anyhow? Pigs
like to crack corn and they have not
anything else to do. If it is fed to
them unground it gives them some
thing to do. More than that they take
more time to eat. There is better di-
similation. The pig does not swallow
the corn whole. If ground and made
into a thick slop it is gulped down. 1t
is not masticated and therefore not
properly digested and assimilated.
This is especially true in the fall and
early winter. By the end of summer
corn, especially the more f1inty varie-
ties, becomes exceedingly hard, and
hence it pays to soak the corn and
bring it back as near as possible to the
condition of corn when it is just ripe.
1t does not follow, however, that it
does not pay to grind wheat, rye, or
barley for pigs. Experienced feeders
know that when these grains are fed
unground much of it passes through
the hogs whole, hence undigested and
unassimilated. Farmers who have fed
wheat whole have often noticed the
pigs gather the soaked grain out of
the droppings and eat it again, a most
filthy and disgusting practice. There
fore it is advisable to grind these
grains.
The practical feeder must not mere
ly determine what kinds Of grain are
necessary to make balanced ration
but also the form in which they can
be fed to the best advantage taking
into account the cost of grinding The
problem of the feeder must ever be
how to feed the different grains and
forage on the farm so as to secure
the greatest net profit, both by form
ing proper combinations of the var
ious feeds or balanced rations and by
getting the feed into the animal in
such form as to secure it's most per-
feet digestion and assimilation.
On this general subject Professor
Henry says:
"In general idle animals and those
having ample time for mastication, as
similation and digestion don't need
their grain and roughage prepared as
carefully as do those with only linn
tied time for these essential opera
lions. Experiments quite generally
show increased gains from grinding
grain, but in many cases they are not
sufficient to pay for the cost of grind
ing"
