Paralysis in Horses.

This disease, which comes on sud-
denly, is due to an acid in the blood.
It sometimes affects the front parts
as we'll as the hind parts, and the ami
NAL may come out of the barn feeling
fine, ambitious, willing to go, and Of
ten goes faster than usual, but before.
1t has gone very far it begins to lose
its speed, hangs back, sweats profuse-
ly, breathes hard and begins to
knuckle over behind, gets lame in one
or both hind limbs, and in a short
time Is unable to go any further, and
often falls helpless on the road in a
paralyzed condition.
The proper thing to do is to place
him on a stone boat and haul him into
the nearest barn, place him in a large,
we'll bedded box stall or a barn floor,
where he can be turned vel often
until he is able to get up. Medicines
should be given Of a laxative nature
and that will allay pain and counter
act the acid condition of the blood.
An injection Of warm water should
be given to unload the rectum OF its
faces, so that the animal can If pos
sible urinate. If unable to do so the
urine should be drawn. A stimulat-
ing liniment or a mustard plaster
should be placed over the hips and
the body should be kept comfortably
warm. The animal should be given
plenty of drinking water with the
chill taken from it, a very little, if
any feed should be given before he
gets up and he should be fed on bran
mashes and a very little hay after he
is I'D until a full recovery has been
brought about.-Dr. David Roberts,
Wisconsin State Veterinarian.

BOOSTING Coops.

Some of our grandfathers (and
grandmothers, too) furnished no ac-
commodations for the chickens after
they were too big to crowd in the
brood coop, but let them roost in the
wagon sheds or in the branches of
nearby trees. This method produced
strong, vigorous chicks, because it
made it impossible for them to over
heat by crowding into a stuffy coop at
night and assured them plenty Of
fresh air, to breathe at all times.
Under such conditions the chick

Science Aids Dafrying.

How science aids dairying was
shown by Director J. L. Hills, OF the
Vermont station, in a meeting OF the
Pennsylvania Dairy Union. He called
attention to the Importance Of keep
ing an open mind in regard to new
things. The matters which are pooh
poohed in one generation are the
facts of the neyt.
Late developments show that the
German standard, which requires ap-
proximately two and one-half pounds
of protein per cow per day Is subject
to considerable modification. He had
seen good results from cows capable
of producing ESQ pounds of butter or
more a year on a ration containing
one and one-half pounds OF digestiDle
protein. Protein occupies too PROM
inent a place in the German standard.
He has found that very heavy feed,
ing does, not give good financial re-
turns. A cow with all the clover hay
she will eat, a good ration of silage
and six pounds Of grain gives better
returns than one with eight to twelve
pounds of grain. The grain fed in
excess of eight pounds does not return
proportionate results.
Concerning the milking machine he
considers it q labor saver, easily
cleaned, a close mixer, better than
the average mixer. 1t has been in
use for over three years, but the man
ufacturers refuse to put 1t on the
market, believing that it Is not yet
perfect. He believes that for the
| dairyman having thirty COWS or more
it will be a good investment. He
fears, however, that it will discourage
the testing Of individual cows, as 1t
milks two cows into the same can.
His experiments had shown that
manipulation Of the cows udder does
not pay except after a poor mixer.
Some other ways in which science has
helped the dairyman are by the pas
teu~rization of milk, the improvement
of salt and the study of ventilation.
In regard to this do not use metal in
the v%entilators, as it causes a conden-
sation of air and consequent moisture.

Constant Supply of Salt.

The precise benefit of salt for dairy
cattle Is hardly known, but exper-
fence shows that it is worth while to
feed It quite freely in such quantities
as the COWS will take. Cows having
salt kept before them all the time will
not eat too much, but they may be
overfed with salt II they have not
been given any for a long time. The;
salt stimulates the appetite and in
creases the flow Of body fluids

Keeping Sweet Potatoes.

You have published one mans way
Of keeping sweet potatoes. will tell
you mine. We dig in October and
the same day we take them out of the
ground we put them on the garrett
loor, where a large canvas has been
spread. The garnet Is over the dim
ing room, where at this time OF the
year (October) there Is a fire night
and morning and the drying process
commences Immediately. Later there
is a fire all the time. We pile them
to the depth of three feet, and If the
weather is very severe IN winter We
cover them with one or two thick,
nesses Of old carpet, and we have
plenty Of potatoes all winter, and
some to sell when prices are good,
and we have plenty of seed for our
selves and neighbors in the spring.
We have at this writing at least thirty
bushels on the floor. We have been
following this plan for fifteen years,
and in spring can carry all the de-
cayed potatoes out IN a ~half-bushel
basket.
1t is not nearly SO hard for us to
keep sweet potatoes as our apples

City Conveniences For the Farmer.
Farmers are coming more and
more to require for their country
homes the conveniences to be found
in the cities, and the Department Of
Agriculture has prepared a publica-
ton to show them how they can
equip their homes with many of the
c~onveniences now largely confined to
city homes. Among the subjects
treated are the water supply, plumb
ing, bath rooms and closets, sewage
disposal and heating. The farmer is
shown how, at a comparatively small
expense, he can supply his home with
water by means of an elevated tank
filled by a hydraulic RAM, a windmill
or a small engine. The best methods
of dfsposing of the sewage are ex-
planned and illustrated. Suggestions
are made regarding the laying out OF
home grounds, the location Of build
ings and the remodeling of homes al
ready built. The publication is known
as Farmers Bulletin No. 270, "Mod-
ern Conveniences For the Farm
Home" and is for free distribution
by the department and by Senators
and Representatives in Congress.
