Navel Infection of FoaIs.

More foals are lost from infection OF
the cord than from all other causes to-
, gether. The symptoms do not always
point to the cord, and the real cause OF
death is often not suspected The foal
when a few days old begins to droop
and lie around; the joints often swell
and IN a few days death takes place.
The death was from infection, but
there is so little trouble apparent at
the cord that it is often overlooked.
Prevention consists in having the
foal come IN Il clean grass paddock or
on clean straw in box stall and espe-
cially in keeping your finger nails off
the cord until it is dried In lifting the
foal the hands under the abdomen
come in contact with the freshly torn
cord. and finger nails are always full
of poisonous germs. busting the cord
with borax and tying it up in absorb
ent cotton is a simple, safe way to
care for it. The cord may be wrapped
in the pure absorbent cotton without
being touched by the fingers at all

ABOUT HOG WALL0WS.
Varying Points Of View as to Their
ValuS In Swine Husbandry.

Varying Points Of View as to Their
Value In Swine Husbandry.
There is no more prolific dissem-
inator of swine diseases on the gen.
eral farm than the hog wallow. says a
Missouri hog grower. The animal alb
serbs lots of impure water from the
wallow. as well as being exposed to
the ravages of the germs and vermin
which abound amid the filth of the
hole. There Is no more active spread
er of hog cholera throughout the herd
than this hole in which the swine may
lie during the heat of the day. A
wallow Is not necessary during the
period of warm weather to keep the
animal cool. If sufficient shade Is fur
nished for the herd on severely hot
days the animals may be occasionally
sprinkled with cold water. and this
will protect them against any dan.
gers of sunstroke or overheating.
The hog wallow on the general farm
is absolutely unnecessary. The sooner
the average farmer begins to appre-
ciate this the sooner will the profits
from his swine department materially
increase in amount and volume. The
preferable manner in which to combat
cholera and other noXious ailments OF
the swine herd is by the practice of
cleanliness and sanitation in the man
agement of the nogs, in the prepare
ton of their food and in the care of
their quarters. One OF the tunda-
mentals in snch a campaign to con
troi swine disease is the early aboli-
ton of the hog wallow from the gen
eral farm

Homestead says:

lows, and that being the case the mat
ter of chief concern is to prevent these
wallows from spreading disease. We
will dismiss one argument advanced by
this subscriber as impracticable be
cause the average man does not have
the time to sprinkle his hogs in hot
weather.
AS nOnsweating animal hog must
have access to shade or a wallow dur
ing a considerable part of the summer
months and where no effort Is made
to construct concrete wallow. the
contents of which may be changed
from time to time. free use should be
made of coat tar dips and crude oil
by this we mean that these products
should be poured into the wallows
frequently, and If this is done two pur
poses will he accomplished. In the

with mud and water. tend to keep the
skin OF hogs In good condition. If a
choice could always be made between
clean, healthy concrete wallow and
one made OF mud we would certainly
take the former. but as said before
when you consider that 1t is impossible
to prevent hogs from making a wallow
the next best thing is to keep these dis
ease breeding places from breeding dis

that we have mentioned from time to

pounds in proportion to the grass they
eat, but this difference is more than off.
set by the higher price per pound of
the larger and fatter steers. TO make
prime beef the youngsters have requir
ed 100 days, while the two-year-olds
have landed near the top of the mar
ket with ninety days of heavy feeding.
This is why | prefer the heavier cattle
to start with.
Last year l pastured only twenty.
eight head on the forty acres and
cleared more than So per acre. The
year 1909 | had thirty-two head OF
black and white faces and had them
on the pasture for only five and half
months. They cleared up good,
strong SO per acre. One year, little
wetter than usual. | took off 10000
pounds more meat In the fall than
put on In the spring, and most of the
time that summer l kept just thirty
head of steers. There are two or three
factors In the management of my pas
ture that l think have contributed
largely to my success. In the first
place | do not overstock. A couple of
years forty steers were run on the
forty acres, and they seemed to make
very satisfactory gains, yet these prov
ed to be the years of smallest profit.
The smaller number seem in the fall
to warrant the use of but about thirty
head. Another item In favor of the
lesser number of steers is the smaller
amount of money invested and the
consequent less interest to pay.

TURNING GRASS INTO BEEF
Pasture Pays Fair Profits Even on
Hiuh Priced Land.


l believe very good returns may be
had from pasturing Iowa land. even at
the present high farm values. writes
E. Elijah of Iowa In the Orange Judd
Farmer. This Is not mere theory, for
l actually retain onethird of my 24C
acre farm in permanent blue grass pas
lures as matter of profitable prac-
tice. For the past eight years | have
kept figures on one forty acre field, nc
portion Of which has been plowed since
fourteen years ago. My average re-
turns have been something over $40
per acre above taxes on the land and
interest on the money invested in the
cattle. so l feel that am not merely
guessing when l say that a profit can
be made from pasture. even on 5000
land.
My profit is made by turning blue
grass into beef. Every spring l buy
enough steers to stock the pasture for
the summer. Usually pick them up
a few in a place. from my neighbors
who have more cattle than pasture. As
a rule. have had little difficulty in
getting steers weighing from 100 to
900 pounds. I like to get steers about
two years of age with plenty Of frame
which have been roughed through the
winter without much grain.
l take the larger steers in preference
to the yearlings, because they make
grass into fat. while the younger steers
are growing and SO are more nearly
ready for market when fall comes
