SETTLING THE FARM PROBLEM.

Mississippi and Missouri valley
farmers are turning loose their hogs
to our own big buying bank roll,
which, here of late, must needs look
in on outside markets for supply to
keep the wheels turning at home, J
And these farmers are so pleased at
the flow of ready cash that many Of
them may move to Texas and raise
hogs just to be near the inspiring
bundle of yellowbacks and a top
notchy market pole-Fort Worth
Star-Telegram.
Those farmers up there in the mid
die states certainly do know how to
raise hogs. They can take a grunt
and fatten it into $50 bill. They
literally coin pigs into spondulix. And
that is the main reason 49,

fortune-builder. The hog takes their
corn and grass and turns it into pork
and the pork brings price equiva'

corn and $40 ton for the grass. And
along with the hogs those Middle
Western farmers grow lot of chick

lot of cattle. All these foodstuffs are
in hourly demand everywhere, anc
the market is never satisfied. Too
much meat can not be grown. Never
is there danger of decreased de

The trouble affecting the udder~of
your COW may be due to several causes.
The chances are that the first infec-
ton was due to a bruise of some kind.
1t may be that when the calf was
first weaned the udder was not thor
oughly cleansed and that this caused
Inflammation to set UP in the tissues
which have resulted in the trouble men,
toned. The fact that scabs and sores
break out on first one quarter and then
another would indicate that there is
some kind Of an infection which can
probably be best treated through the
use of some of the coal tar by-products
We would suggest that you use creolin
at the rate of one part to fifty parts
Of water. Battle and cleanse the I'D
der with great care at least twice
daily for a number Of days in success
sion. You should see that the stable
and stall occupied by the COW are
thoroughly disinfested and all litter re-
moved. When the udder becomes az
fected in the way you describe 1t is
very difficult to restore to its normal
condition, and you will not be able to
bring the COW back to a full flow of
milk during this lactation period We
believe unless she is an extremely val
liable animal that you will find IT more
satisfactory under. the circumstances to
dry her up and sell her for beef. 1t is
important that you disinfect everything
thoroughly disinfected and all litter re-
COW, as she may contract the same
trouble If IT be of a contagious or in
fictitious character.

used as the head Of a herd On the
other hand, there are many farmers
amply able 10 make the outlay required
for the purchase OF an acceptable sire.
and as a matter OF business policy. the
man who neglects TO use a pure-bred
sire is bound to become poorer and
poorer.
An illustration Of the forcefulness OF
the expression that blood viii tell has
recently been seen on the college farm
at Athens. where a grade or Hereford
cattle have been maintained to demon
strate~ the feasibility OF raising beef
with economy and advantage on much
OF the waste land In Georgia adapted
for grass, but not Well suited for Gull
tivation IN general farm crops. Several
years ago. there was purchased as the
foundation stock for the present herd
group OF native cows containing a
dash OF Hereford blood. These animals
were understood and showed evidence in
their markings that they were at most
but one degree removed from the poor
est type Of the scrub dam. AS soon as
the herd was brought TO Athens a pure
bred Hereford sire OF a superior type
was purchased and placed at the head
OF the herd. The progeny secured from
crossing this sire on native cows was
a revelation TO many. In a single gem
Grafton such transformation was
brought about as to seem almost un-
believable. The Hereford as all know,
IS red and white in color and has other
Characteristic markings. The transmits
sion OF the regulation color markings to
the progeny was very noticeable. But
this was not all, for the calves showed
a blockiness and squareness in confor-
nation, a relative shortness of limb,
and a. spring of rib and depth Of body
remarkably like their sire. II is not
surprising that this should have been
attained even in a single generation for
the sire with his qualities concentrated
and made prepotent through years of
selection and special care and attention
was readily abe to impress these char
acteristfcs on his progeny, especially
when mated with animals in which the
inherited qualities were at great vart-
ance with each other, and not har-
monized and united through study Of
animal breeding.

of heifers from the first cross has now
been developed, and in many instances
these animals so closely resemble the
pure-bred that it is doubtful If many
experts could tell the difference. II
should be borne in mind in this con-
nection that the cattle in question have
never had any special feed and care
but have been maintained under ordi-
nary farm conditions advisedly. They
are therefore not so large or fully de-
veloped as pure-breds raised under semi
artificial conditions. The progeny of this
generation, however. is an illustration
of what much of the idle land in the
south may be made to produce in the
way of beef and demonstrates further
that beef cattle may be maintained very
cheaply during the winter on minimum
of cotton seed meal and silage, corn
slower, hulls or other dry forms or
roughness. One of the heifers of the
second generation taken from the pas
ture and exhibited at various fairs in
Georgia weighed as a yearling 700
pounds. If she had been pampered and
forced as is often the case with beer
cattle, she could easily have been made
to weigh 1900 pounds. The fact that
she attained a weight under ordinary
farm conditions which many animals
than two to four years clearly empha-
sizes the impressiveness of the pure
bred sire.
Why will the farmers of the south
continue to use the scrub when they
NAV replace him at a comparatively
small outlay by animals which can i'm
press their desirable qualities so mark
edly on the offspring and change their
progeny from the undesirable TO the de-
sirable If the farmer can through the
use of a pure-bred sire reduce the time
required for the maturity of his animals
by one year, what tremendous saving
has been accomplished If he can raise
the percentage of meat in proportion to
offal, he has made another great gain.
If he utilizes some of the land which
is now lying idle for this purpose and
raises ten desirable beef animals for
sale each year where he had nothing be-
fore, he has added several hundred dol
lars to his income. All this is easily
possible, as has been amply demonstrate
ed by the work carried to a successful
issue on the college farm at Athens.
Will the farmers of the south not take
heart and give more attention to the
live stock industry which now offers
them opportunities for investment and
development hitherto unavailable on &C
count of the abundance of cheap graz
ing land in the west. The pendulum
has swung back toward the east; the
price of meat is steadily increasing;
the hunger of the cities remains unsati-
ated; land, water and climatic condi-
tions favor the beef bushes. The In
vestment required to inaugurate the in
dustry on a profitable basis is not
large. A golden opportunity awaits
the keen-sighted farmer who will elm
mate the scrub sire and utilize the nat
ural advantages of his situation to the
utmost within the next few years.

will often prove helpful. This is ac-
complished by holding the horses head
over bucket Of hot water The steam
may be made to rise more freely by
stirring the water with a straw. Speciar
attention should be paid to the diet.
Give bran mashes, scalded oats or lin
seed Cruel. If the horse does not like
soft foods of this character, let him
have such food as he will eat, but be
sure that it is clean and wholesome.
Enemas are often helpful where the
horse is constipated, hot water being
used for this purpose The treatment
may be given three times a gay. If tn
animal is debilitated and loses appetite
give three ounces Of a solution of ace
tate of ammonia and two drains OF
powdered chlorate Of potash diluted
with a pint of water three times daily as
a drench. Keep the animal blanketed at
night and the stall well bedded. This
treatment should result In breaking up

days later.
