CAUSE OF THRUSH
IN HORSES FEET
Trouble Due Frequently by AMI
NAL Standing in Filthy Stall
and too Dry Floors.
Rv NJ FL REYNOLDS. Veterinarian
Do.

By NJ II. REYNOLDS. Veterinarian.
University Farm St Paul Mimi
This trouble is due quite frequently
to standing in manure or other filth,
which alters the condition of the horn
and may be accompanied or followed
by infection. Long continued stand
ing on very dry floors may lead di-
rectly to this trouble. In some cases
thrush seems to be associated with
contraction. The frogs in horses feet
need exercise just the same as any
other part of the body. When a horse
is shod with high heel and toe calks,
or the wall is allowed to grow down
very long and the horse stands on a
board floor without getting frog pres
sure. the condition of the frog is i'm
paired and it easily becomes subject
to infection and disease.
Such cases need clean, dry stall.
The hoof should be properly trimmed;
the diseased parts removed as thor
oughiy as possible; and a strong dis
infectant used over the sole of the
foot. Any of the coal-tar disinfectants
may be used in full strength. or even
pure carbolic acid, care being taken
that the disinfectant does not run
down the heel and burn the skin,
After this first strong disinfectant
calomel is a very satisfactory treat
ment for ordinary cases. The calomel
can be busted over the diseased sur
face and then some thick clay applied
over the entire sole of the foot

Citizenship Restored.

Though Lester S. Young's term in
the Penitentiary had expired, Cover
nor Goldsborough issued a pardon to
Young in order to restore Young's citi-
zenship. Young had been convicted Of
arson at the May term, 1912, of the
Criminal Court of Baltimore City, and
sentenced to six months in the Peni-
tentiary, He had served this, but de-
sired his citizenship restored and his

In nothing have most farmers so
sinned against their herds, probably,
as in the inadequate shelter pro
vided them against winters cold
and the hot sun of summer. Warm,
well-lighted and ventilated stables are
essential to high rate of production.
A sanitary barn should have from four
to six square feet of window space for
each COW kept Where COWS are kept
in the stalls much of the time. it is
not unreasonable ito say that the barn
should be light enough for one to read
in. Good ventilation is essential; but
it should be so arranged that the cows
shall not be exposed to draught.
While warmth without ventilation Is
conductive to disease, ventilation with
out heat is consumer of feed. The
rage of temperature in the barn
should be kept between 40 and 60 de-
grees F. In summer, the shades
should be pulled down, lest the we'll
lighted barn become too warm. They
will also keep out the flies. 1t is we'll
to have gunny sacks hung in the door
way, so that, as the COW forces her
way through. the flies will be brushed
off her back

Stalls and calf-pens should be kept

dark, damp and dirty place is very
favorable to the growth of bacteria,
which may attack the health of the
animals. Plenty of sunlight keeps the
place dry, purifies the air. and kills
bacteria.
When kept in the barn, cows SHOULD
be brushed daily, not only to keep the
dirt and hair from falling into the
milk pail, but to keep the pores of the
skin open. This makes the cow more
comfortable. and it cannot be too often
repeated that anything done to add to
the comfort of the COW adds to her
productiveness.

VALUE OF SILAGE
AND CORN STOvER
Interesting Tests Made at Me-
braska Experiment Station
in Cattle Feeding

(By H. r. SMITH. Animal Husbandman.
University Farm. St Paul. MinnD
While at the Nebraska experiment
station the writer conducted tests to
determine the relative value of siIage
and shredded corn stover tstalks) for
cattle feeding. In order to determine
the amount of stover fed each steer. II
was necessary to husk the corn from
the stalk, and as the cattle were kept
in the barn. shredded stover was more
convenient although more expensive.
The use of bundle corn, however,
would greatly reduce the cost as il
can be harvested and shocked as eas.
lily as the ears alone can be husked
from the stalk and cribbed. During
the fall and early winter the use of
bundle-corn containing ears might
even prove more profitable than the
use of silage.
The further fact that this expert
ment was conducted during the sum
mer months without the use of grass
pasture. is evidence that calves can
make very satisfactory gains by using
corn silage and alfalfa as substitute
for grass.
In sections where enough grass can
not be grown to carry the number of
cattle wanted through the year. but
where large tonnage of corn can be
grown on a relatively small acreage
the silo will become an important fac.
tor for use in summer as we'll as in
winter.
