Disinfectants cannot destroy germ

Sore Shoulders of Horses.

With the advent of spring worl
comes shoulder and foot troubles il
horses. Young animals, especially
are prone to collar bruises, on account
of jumping around, uneven pulling
and jerking, which offsets the effect
OF the best setting collar First o.
all, remember prevention is the easiest
solution of the problem. The old
fashioned method of bathing TIL
shoulders with an oak bark solution
alternating with cold water, severa
weeks prior to working, thereby hard
ening and tanning" the skin, was I
good one This, of course, is tedious
job on big ranch with many horses
but will repay on colts. A large colla'
is just as bad as a tight one, and BIZ
careful that it is not humpy. A firm
snug fitting collar, with good pads
of course, is best As substitute for
oak bark, try fannie acid in alchoho
or glycerine, in 10 to 20 per cen
solution. Rub we'll several times /;
day, and alternate with a salt water
solution. Begin work gradually, ant
should the shoulders get raw and in
fected, the advice OF your veterinarian

Machine for Testing Seed.

While not in use for Matching, the
machine may be used for testing seed
by making false tray Of light wood
which is fillel with stand. The seed
should be placed in the sand, covered
and kept moist. Keep tibet tempera
ture up to about IS degrees, and the
seed will terminate in short time
Even when it is in use for Matching
seeds may be tested by placing them
between damp cloths in plate, set
ting the plate under the egg tray in
what is known as the chicken nursery
Plants thus terminated in sand may
be transplanted to the hotbed, not only

ALFALFA AS A VIRGIN CROP
FOR SAGEBRUSH LAND.
1t Stands Foremost Among the Le-
gumes in This Respect.

AS virgin crop for raw sagebrush
land, alfalfa stands foremost among
the legumes because of its marked
influence upon the growth and pro-
ductiveness of succeeding crops. Sage
brush land is usually rich in potash
and phospheric acid and poor in nitro
gen (organic matter.) Alfalfa ap-
pears to correct the lack of nitrogen
by the cultivating effect of its won
derful root system, but the belief that
it adds large amounts of nitrogen to
the soil for other crops is erroneous.
Exhaustive studies have shown that
although it is capable of manufactur
ing its own nitrogen when this ele
ment is lacking in the soil, it is also
a great feeder on nitrogen and depos-
its very little excess of soluble nj
trates. Therefore, the beneficial eff
feet of alfalfa seems due, not so much
to the addition of nitrates, but rather
to the loosening and penetrating eff
feet of its roots and to whatever or
ganic matter may remain in the roots.
1t should be borne in mind that
while it can supply its own nitrogen
it must, as do other crops, get its pot
ash and phospheric acid from the
soil-H. P Fishburn, Assistant Chem
list Idaho Experiment Station.

Moist Subsoil.

The condition of the subsoil has a
very important bearing upon the
downward movement of water In a
dry soil the natural precipitation
moves downward very slowly and the
majority of the moisture will be stored
near the surface where the loss of wa
ter by evaporation goes on the most
rapidly. When the subsoil is moist
the water moves more freely and goes
to greater depths. Investigations at
Utah show that when desert land is
broken for cropping purposes the pre-
cipitation penetrates farther and far
Their into the soil with each year of
cultivation. This is due largely to the
loosening of the top soil, and as the
lower layers become moist the water
is enabled to slide down more
easily to greater depths. This is very
important principle for dry farmer
to understand. as he can take the nee
essary precautions to keep his soil
from getting very dry below the first
foot. If soil does become extremely
dry it should be summer titled with
out cropping so as to get the subsoil
into moist condition.

Kind Word for the Crow.

1t is ger ally conceded that all
things were created for a purpose and
that there is wisdom in all creation
This general principle has been at
tackled in bird criticism by an attempt
to set the crow out as a mistake, a
grievious nuisance, one of nature
blunders But this is refuted by some
scientific authority and backed up by
some practical, observing farmers,
who have discovered that the crow is
not bent on the destruction of the
corn crop when it pulls up few of
the fresh, green plants, but is after
the cutworm that is located at the root
or Just below the surface, and that the
corn6eld attraction for the crow and
blackbird is only their instructive ma
ture to locate the worms and that after
all they are conservers of farm crop
interests when properly understood.
The crow as carrier of hog cholera
germs can become great menace it
the carcasses of hogs dying Of this dis
ease are left where he can get them,
Burning and destroying the carcasses
of dead animals is the remedy for this
evil and not the shooting of crows

THE HANDLING OF THE DAIRY
SIRE.
The Calf Should be Dealt With From
the Start Gently, but Firmly.

When the raising of good dairy cat
tie is to be taken into consideration
the bull is the better half of tie herd.
In a majority of cases this animal
seems to possess and is disposed to
exercise a head of his own and, conse-
quently, needs careful management
and control from the beginning of his
calfhood. | am not sure but that
even beyond this period thought
should be given to his ancestry in
order to possess a knowledge of the
traits of character and disposition
likely to be developed in the calf
A vicious ancestry either on the part
of the sire or dam will likely sooner
or later manifest itself in the young
animal and in selecting the one to
head the herd this should be carefully
guarded against. One special require
ment in handling the bull is with ref
erence to his early thrifty growth and
proper development.
Good feed and good care are quite
essential in order that a decent and
well proportional animal may head
the herd and one that will likely
leave a good impress on his posterity.
The calf should be dealt with from
the start gently, but firmly, but never
in teasing or bantering way. He
should be taught to be handled quiet
ly to be easily battered and led by the
time he is a yearling and good ring
should be put in his nose to aid in his
complete control.
When old enough for service he
should not be allowed to run with
the other cattle, but be kept in sub
stantially fenced field or lot. The latter
is the best and can be provided in a
reasonably cheap and effective man
ner My own method is to have lot
ed with a four-foot wire fence substan-
TALLY put up on good well set posts
the posts extending eight or ten
inches above the top wire of the wo-
ven fence which is put on the outside
OF the posts. On the inside of the
posts barbed wire is placed about
six inches above the top OF the woven
wire fence and one also about eight
inches below the same. In nearly
every case this will be a sufficient
safeguard against fence throwing or
breaking out. The lot is well provided
with water and shelter and a strong
plank fencing gate protected with
barbed wire on the inside, which com
barbed wire on the inside, which
completes the arrangement. ! find i'll
