Don't Blame Cow For Stringy Milk.

Usually the COW is not to blame for

contaminated stables or setting the
milk in dusty places. Clean up, disin-
feet and wlitewnsh the stables. See
that the water is pure. Perfectly scrub.
cleanse and sun dry the milk utensils
and set milk in a clean place where
there is a current Of fresh air. When
the milk comes from the u,lder in

probably has come from bacteria in

CARE OF. BROOD SOWS.
Results Of Kansas Experiment Station
Of Help to Farmers.

The Kansas experiment station has
been carrying OH some experiments
during the past three years along the
line Of the care of brood sows that
should be Of definite practical value to
hog raisers everywhere. In 1911 from
thirty-three Of the station sows filters
averaging 7.G per SOW were raised.
The mex year twelve Duroc-Jersey
sows weaned ninety-six pigs. Last
year an equally good showing was
made from IL still larger number of
sows. The care of the filters was
started when the sOws were bred. The
mothers were forced to take Il moder-
ate amount Of exercise every day dur
ing the period Of CESSATION. The feeds
given during the period included corn.
shorts. wheat bran. tankage, oilmeal
and alfalfa hay. For the early portion
of the period the ration consisted Of a
little corn, some shorts and tankage
and all the alfalfa hay the sows would
eat. Bran and oilmeal were added the
last few weeks. The aim in feeding
was to bring the sows to narrowing
time in a laxative condition and in
good thrift and medium flesh.

Cattle, sheep and hogs are better than

SAVING THE YOUNG LAMB.
Poisonous Condition Often Results
From Tightening Of the Bowels.

4 sheep raiser whose Young lambs
seem all right when dropped, but soon
begin to droop and generally die,
wants to know the cause. In our case
we have observed that this condition
is usually due to constipation, says Il
correspondent of the National Stock
man. For some reason the first milk
Of the eve has not caused the bowels
to be evacuated. and Il poisonous con
dition soon results. When this condi-
ton is general it may be assumed that
the whole eve flock is affected by some
abnormal condition. such as improper
feed. low vitality or lack Of exercise.
The lambs should be watched careful
iy the first day or two, and if the
bowels seem stubborn an injection of
warm sOapy water should be given.
This can do nc harm in any cas- if
done in Il sanitary way and the syringe
is inserted very carefully. At the same
time if found necessary the lambs may
be given one-fourtll of Il dram of castor
oil in a little milk by means Of Il nip
PIE.
Ey observing great care and extreme
cleanliness we have saved many lambs
by this kind Of treatment. At any
time. when Il lamb is troubled with to-
nnciOuS. wax cNcremcnt it should he
promptly removed hy using the syringe
and warm water; in such cases the ini-
proved condition is prompt.

cause the eve does not permit them tc
nurse. In this case the eve and laml
should he confined in Il small pen and
watched at short intervals until nurs
ing becomes norma. Often the eve
shows a great attachment for her lamb
yet will not permit it to nurse; in such
cases the attendant must see that the
habit of normal nursing is established
This sometimes requires several days.
