the disease Is prevalent and the most

COW is. the price of her for beef.
Members OF the Station Staff at the
Washington State College Experiment
Station have been investigating Red
Water for several years, but so far
have been unsuccessful in discovering
the cause, or satisfactory method
of treatment. Many drugs have been
credited with having the property of
checking the condition and no doubt
some agents will cause temporary
subsistence OF the symptoms, but per
manent recovery following the use OF
drugs is doubtful.
Red Water Is strictly local disease
affecting the inner lining of the
urinary bladder; the kidneys, liver
and other vital organs being found
absolutely normal. For this reason,
the milk, butter and flesh OF affected
animals, SO long as they are IN good
physical condition may be considered
perfectly wholesome and fit for human
consumption.
Affected animals never show any
rise of temperature and death Is due
entirely to hemorrhage.

the rest of the season.
Prevention is far better than cure,
and real preventive measures start
with building up the vitality of the
horse. A horse that is in perfect
health and spirits is not likely to be-
come overheated. It is the horse that
has been irregularly or unsuitably
fed, overworked or kept in a hot
stable that first succumbs on hot
day. Horses may be made much more
comfortable at night in summer run
ming loose in the barn lot with rack
of hay and tank of water accessible,
rather than standing tied in stuffy
stalls. The horse that sweats all night
is not in condition to resist the heat
of the day.
Owners and drivers should remem-
Der that ordinarily there is no excuse
for overheating horse, even to a
slight degree. To go on working a
horse that has become too hot, until
finally he drops. is the height of folly.
Except in the most extraordinary
emergency the work to be done cannot
be nearly so important as the life OF
a horse. Breeder Gazette.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-09-01
THE OyERHEATED HORSE.

Every hot day horses in numbers
die OF the heat. Drivers keep them
going without knowing or needing
the signs of danger. When horse
finally drops most drivers have no
idea as to what is best to do.
Every horse should be closely
watched on a hot day, and at least
careful eye should be kept on that
horse In the team which is known to
suffer most from warm weather. 1t
horse is sweating SO that water runs
down his fetlocks and drips from his
chest, he Is getting near the suffering
point, especially if he is also breath
ing rapidly. Ii as he works on the
hair should begin to dry, indicating
that sweating has suddenly ceased,
the work must be stopped at once.
A horse in that condition has already
been slightly overheated and may not
be of much use in hot weather for the
rest of the season, ii ever. Ii worked
on for some time In the heat after
sweating has stopped, the horse Will
probably be permanently ruined for
hot weather work, and he is liable at
any moment to totter and fall. In
that case only prompt and intelligent
attention can prevent death.
If there Is a veterinarian within
reach he should be summoned. In
the meantime cold wet cloths or Ice
should be applied to the top of the
head and cold water should be spray
ed or sponged over the neck, should
ers and body. Half an ounce of car
Donate of ammonia or half pint OF
whiskey given In pint of water will
serve as a suitable stimulaDt. Ii
neither of these Is available, four
ounces of aromatic spirits of ammonia
may be given In pint of water, or a
pint of warm coffee may be given.
The application OF cold water should
be continued until the fever Is per-
ceptibly reduced. A horse that has
been brought through crisis OF this
kind must be worked very carefully

THE PROFIT In HOGS.

The Prairie ranch, located few
miles southeast of Fossil, Wheeler
county, Oregon, shipped carload of
hogs to the Portland Union Stock
yards few days ago and they topped
the market, selling for nine and one
half cents per pound. There we're 70
head in the car, their combined
weight was trif1e more than %, OOO
pounds, or an average of almost 25O
pounds. The check given in pay
ment, after deducting freight. feed
and commission charges, was for
1888. 80. That shows a net price OF
500. O8 per animal

RED WATER TN CATTLE.

A disease commonly known as RED
Water" (Hematuria) is quite preva-
lent in the coastal regions of Wash
ington and British Columbia.
Red water is manifested by a con-
slant or periodic discharge of bloody
urine which is the result of hemor-
rhage from small vascular growths in
the lining of the bladder. 1t Is
doubtful as to whether an animal ever
permanntly RECEIVERS, once the disease
is contracted. The disease is not a
rapidly fatal one, but is serious be-
cause of depreciation in value of
affected animals which eventually
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-09-01

Mention was made in these columns
short time ago of former shipment
of hogs from this ranch. and it was
then stated that carload would be
sent to the Portland market about
every two weeks during the balance
of the year, there being about 23OO
head feeding on this and other ranches
owned by the same company.
The hogs just shipped had eaten,
all told, about IL bushels OF grain
each and about $50 pounds of ground
alfalfa. Aside from this, they had
been fed nothing, but bad, of course,
been pastured on alfalfa, stubble and
grass. The grain fed them as pigs
and hogs would be worth today at the
ranch where 1t was fed not to exceed
ST. 90 per animal; the alfalfa meal per-
haps $3.50 per animal. 1t cost ito
haul them to market, we will say,
about $40. That makes a total cost
of S79O, to which must be added the
cost of producing the pigs. Two
dollars and half each would be fair
figure for this. In fact, ii any breed
err with ample facilities for keeping
large number of brood sows could sell
his day-old pigs at that figure he
would never carry them along even to
shoat days.
We find the 70 head of hogs cost in
real cash outlay 5000, which does not
include the indeterminate expenses
of labor and ranch expenses, 1nclud-
ing taxes, interest, etc. 1t Is impos-
sible to figure such costs. but the
surplus shown by the above figures,
1888. 81, is surely ample to give
large profit. Suppose the company
keeps up its semi-monthly shipments
during the balance of the year and
each carload does as we'll. That would
make ten carloads and profit of
S8333. 90 AS there are now more than
1000 head of hogs on the ranches OF
the company, the shipments will prob
ably continue the year round.
Compare these figures with the
grain business. Suppose in place OF
feeding their 35, 900 to 1000 bushels
of grain to hogs they had hauled it
to Condor, the nearest railroad point.
Or suppose the road we're already
built to Fossil and they hauled the
grain there, say an average haul from
the ranch of Is miles. The wheat fed
this last carload of hogs weighed 81,
$50 pounds; the fattened hogs weigh
ed but 20, 900 pounds.
The point is just this: Feed more
of the grain to livestock. Our sheep
owners are in terrible furry about
the tariff on wool. Let them try to
forget it and build their business
along new lines-better wool and bet
ter mutton, and more of each. That
means granted sheep, and why not?
We can produce as good mutton as Is
grown in the world, and we ought to
double and treble our output and raise
the quality until we control the mar
kets of the West. -Ex.
