Does new corn cause hog cholera?
Tails question is frequently asked the
veterinary department of the Uniyer
sity OF Missouri. The answer is that
new corn Of itself is never the cause
OF an outbreak OF hog cholera. The
presence of the germs of the disease
is always necessary to cause an out
break OF cholera. The feeding of new
corn does not bring these germs into
the herd. nor cause their spontaneous
generation.
The injudiclous feeding of new corn
is, however, an incidental factor that
may frequently be responsible for a
large number of deaths in a herd
where the hog cholera germs already
exist or may later be brought in. If
through the imprudence of the feeder
the stomach and the intestines of the
hogs are overloaded with an easily
fermentable food, like the starch OF
corn that has not fully ripened, d.
gestive disturbances often arise
which may be followed by diarrhoea,
collie and inflammation of the bowels.
Some deaths may result from such
disturbances without the ailment be.
ing of a contagious or infectious ma
ture.
On this other hand, II the germs OF
cholera are on the grounds or on the
gystem of any OF the hogs the d.
gestive disturbances mentioned make
the hogs more susceptible to the dis
ease; their tissues are less resistant,
and the hog cholera germs pass into
the blood more easily when the ali.
mentary tract is irrltated or inflamed
from any cause than when the stom
ach and intestines are in normal
condition Hence the necessity for
greater care in starting hogs on new
corn when cholera Is In the neiEhbor

WEANL|NGS NEED CARE.
NUTRITIOUS FOOD, GOOD WATER
AND SANITARY QUARTERS
REQUIRED.
BY E. A. Trowbridge, Professor of
Animal Husbandry, Univer.
sity of Missouri.

In the spring weanlng horses and
mules should be in a healthy, grow
ing condition. not too fat but in good
flesh, More weanlngs arrive at
springtime too thin than otherwise.
With the ordinary methods of feeding
and the ordinary supply of feed there
is not great danger OF overlooking.
Care during the winter will depend
to some extent upon the condition In
watch the youngsters start the win
ter. II foals have learned to eat grain
before weaving, If they are free from
worms and other digestive troubles
and in good shape when winter starts,
the greatest difficulties have been
overcome. Granting that these con-
ditions are present at the setting In
OF winter the endeavor should be to
supply conditions which will lead to
their continuance.
Tae essential features in wintering
youngsters are plenty of good, whole
some nutritious feed. clean, pure wa.
ter, ample exercise and clean SAM
tary quarters which will protect them
from the more severe weather.
The food should be of such n char
acter as to produce the greatest
growth of bone and muscle and to
keep the weanlings in thrifty condi-
tlon. Oats, bran and corn, one.third
each by weight, has been found to be
q very successful ration for growing
horses. As a roughage to be fed with
this grain, alfalfa or clover, with a
limited quantity of cat straw or corn
stover, gives good results. Timothy
and clover, about one-half each, Will
also be found very successful ad'
jnnct to the grain ration.
An error commonly made is that Of
feeding corn fodder and timothy hay
with nothing else. This ration does
not supply the proper amount of pro-
TEN for growing horses. 1t does not
keep the digestive apparatus In good
working order and Is the cause of
poor condition and stunted growth in
many cases.
Pure water plays more important
part in maintaining the condition of
horses than is generally supposed. It
can best be supplied by deep wells,
pumped by gasoline engines, wind
mills or other means. In case the
water is supplied from tanks. these
receptaoies should be occasionally
given a thorough cleaning. Running
water is good II SO located that horses
can get to 1t without danger. While
ponds or other sources of still water
frequently furnish the supply for
