DISSIPATION IN THE HORSE
Many Thousands Of Dollars Lost to
Farmers From Cause That Might
Be Easily Prevented.

By GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado Ag-
ricultural College.)
Judging by the number of cases Of
fatal obstruction to the bowels In
horses that come to the notice of the
veterinarians of the Colorado Agricul-
tural college, there must be many
thousands of dollars lost to farmers
every year from this cause. And this
is condition that might easily be
prevented.
In the winter time the roughage Is
dry and succulence must be provided.
A horse with good teeth and fed al
falfa, timothy. bluestem. or other we'll
cured hays, combined with grain and
plenty of water, will seldom be af-
fected with impacted intestines, but a
ration of straw, or bleached alfalfa
stems picked up In the fields. COM
bined with a low vitality, cold, poor
teeth, and only snow or otherwise a
limited amount of water, will furnish
conditions which make fatal obstruc-
ton Of the bowels possible.
The poorer the feed the more an ami
NAL must eat, and ration of straw or
poor quality of hay, does not furnish
sufficient nutriment to make 1t pos
sible for horse to eat enough to sup
port life. He eats inordinate guam
titles of this highly indigestible food
which produces distention, atony and
finally paralysis of the bowels.
Most of these cases cannot be
treated successfully but prevention is
easy. After all. it does not pay to
keep animals unless one knows how
and Is willing to care for them from
the day they are born.

A billion pounds live weight produce
nearly 800,000,000 pounds Of dressed
meat and lard. This amount would be
sufficient to furnish every family of
the United States average four and a
half persons) about 40 pounds. If
there had been no such loss, probably
increasing scarcity of meat would
have been largely prevented.
The losses of swine from disease
are usually heaviest In southern states
and lightest in northern states. EST
mates of losses have been kept for
80 years. The states showing the
heaviest average yearly loss In these
80 years are, in their order, Arkansas.
119 per 1000; Louisiana, ITO; Florida,
109; the states showing the lightest
losses are Maine, 10; Wyoming, 10;
New Hampshire, %. In Georgia the
average is "a, in Alabama and Missis-
sippi, each 90; in Texas. sc; whereas,
in New York the average is rs, in
Michigan, "a; in Minnesota, 46; in
North Dakota, 81, and in Washington
and Oregon, 26
The epidemic has abated somewhat
in the past year, as compared with the
preceding year, in most southern
states, but has increased greatly in
the northern states. Thus, in Florida
the loss has decreased from ITO per
1000 in 1912 to $50 in 1913; in Geor-
gia. from 165 to 90; in Alabama. from
10 to 100; In Mississippi. from 1874

The country is passing through the
.hird serious epidemic of hog cholera
Of the past 80 years, according to the
department of agriculture. The first
period reached its climax in 1886 to
1887, when the loss amounted to
about 1874 per 1000 head in one year.
The second outbreak developed in
1894, and reached its climax in 1896
to 1897, when losses amounted to
IA per 1000 head The present ex-
tensive epidemic of hog cholera began
to be serious in 1911; during the ten
from As to IS per 1000 per year; in
1911 it jumped to SO, then to ITO in
1912, and to 119 last year, about 80
per cent Of which may be attributed
to cholera. 1t has thoroughly ravaged
the heart Of the reproducing belt
during the year just past In the
state of Iowa alone, losses amounted
to nearly 100000 swine, over fourth
Of the entire number in the state. In
many counties over half were lost,
and in some townships over nine
tenths.
The losses of swine from disease
are estimated by the department at
119 to every 1000 hogs in the country,
which exceeds last years heavy loss
of ITO per 1000, and the average year
ly loss in the preceding ten years OF
$40 per 1000. Probably more than
80 per cent Of the loss was from
cholera. The percentage of loss ap-
piled to the estimated number of hogs
