Many Thousands Of Dollars Lost to
Farmers From Cause That Might
Be Easily Prevented.
By GEORGE H GLOVER, Colorado Ag-

tBy 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 AgricuI-
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.

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.

common to sheep, but it will maintain
the flock in much better state Of
general healthfulness.
There are several proprietary dips
IN the market which can be used
successfully at moderate cost
Standard dips Of this kind are gener-
ally used in the proportion Of one
part of dip to forty parts OF water,
making a "a per cent solution The
best and most effective time to dip
sheep is about ten days after shear
ing. 1t will take much less OF the
solution and be far more effective.
Dipped in this way the sheep can be
put through the tank very rapidly,
while If they are dipped for scab or
while the wool is on they should be
immersed several times and held un-
der, excepting the head, from one and
one-half to two minutes. In case OF
sheep scab all should be loosened so
that the dip will thoroughly penetrate
the exposed parts.
In the actual construction Of a dip
ping tank the aim should be to provide
for efficient dipping and still not have
the tank so large as to require an
excessive amount of dip. If properly
constructed the saving OF dip will
prove to be an item during the season.
The ordinary galvanized iron tank
is the one in most common use, but it
Is not as lasting as a tank built of
brick and then cemented, or the solid
concrete vat built in 9 mold or form

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The country Is passing through the
third serious epidemic of hog cholera
Of the past 80 years, according to the
department of agriculture. The first
period reached its climax in 1885 to
1887, when the loss amounted to
about 134 per 1000 head in one year.
The second outbreak developed in
1894, and reached its climax in 1896
to 1897, when losses amounted to
144 per 1000 head. The present ex-
tensive epidemic Of hog cholera began
to be serious In 1911; during the ten
prior years the loss of swine ranged
from As to IS per 1000 per year; In
1911 1t jumped to SO. then to 10 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 hog-producing belt
during the year just past. In the
state Of Iowa alone, losses amounted
to nearly 1900. 900 swine, over a 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
11s to every 1000 hogs in the country,
which exceeds last years heavy loss
Of 10 per 1000. and the average year.
ly loss in the preceding ten years Of
$40 per 1000 Probably more than
30 per cent Of the loss was from
cholera. The percentage of loss ap-
piled to the estimated number of hogs
on January / indicates a total loss of
7,005,000 head, which, at s10.40, the
value per head on January 1, indi-
Gates loss of s73.O00,0O0. The aver
age weight Of a hog on the farm Is
about $50 pounds, therefore more than
one billion pounds of hog meat were
destroyed by disease, mostly cholera.

EYESoRE ON ORCHARD TREES
SiIken Webs Filled With caterpiIIars
Should Be Cut Out and Burned
With Kerosene
(By E. VAN BENTHUYsEN.l

There is no greater eyesore in coun-
try surroundings than the silken webs
filled with dark-colored. white-haired
caterpillars which abound on the trees
of orchard and lawn.
Those should not be confounded
with the tent caterpillar. which
abounds In early summer. They are
the larvae of moth which flies at
night. and varies in color from pure
white to white thickly studded with
brown spots.
The moths emerge In May or June
from pupae which have passed the
winter under loose soil and rubbish at
the foot of the tree.
The eggs are placed In clusters near
the tips Of the branches. On Matching.
the process OF web-building and eating
begins. and soon q large cluster may
be formed.
Cut the nests and burn with kero-
sene. or spray with srsenites. using
suficient force TO penetrate the web.

Fooled Once.

Little Francis was not to be fooled
twice.
The heavy black clouds had
massed in the east and west, the
lightning was flashing fiercely be-
tween the heavy, incessant rolling
of the thunder.
Francis was terribly frightened,
and his fond mother had gathered
her young hopeful into her arms and
tried logically to calm his fears.
Don't be afraid, darling. There's
nothing to fear. God sends the
thunderstorm to clear the air, water
the flowers, and make it cooler for US.
Now, don't cry, dear; it won't harm
you, and everything will be better
when it's over"

and as his mother finished he looked
up at her gravely, and said: No, no,

did last week when you took me to

A billion pounds live weight produce
nearly s0o.0O0,00o pounds OF dressed
meat and lard. This amount would be
sufficient to furnish every family OF
the United States leverage four and a
half persons) about 40 pounds. II
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. Esti.
mates Of losses have been kept for
30 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 94, in Alabama and Missis-
sippi, each 90; in Texas, Sc; whereas,
In New York the average is &c. in
Michigan. "a; in Minnesota, As; in
North Dakota, 81, and in Washington
and Oregon, 26.
Inc 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 10 per
1000 in 1912 to $50 In 1913; in Geor.
gia, from 165 to 90; In Alabama. from
10 to 100; in Mississippi, from 154
to 104; in Kentucky, from 50 to go;
In Missouri, from ITS to 90; whereas
In Iowa the loss has increased from
16O per 1000 in 1912 to 255 per 1000
in 1913; in Minnesota, from IS to PA:
in Nebraska, from 10 to IT'S; in South
Dakota, from 3s to 230, and in North
Dakota, from 90 to IS. The tendency
of the three epidemics appears to
have been. in a general way, to move
as a wave from South and East ia
North and West.

ARMY ELEVEN PUT
THROUGH HARD WORK

West Point, ". Y, Nov. 25.-There
was nothing easy about the Army
eleven's workout this afternoon in
preparation for the Navy contest on
Saturday. although the scrimmaging
was not hard. The early part of the
drill consisted of long forward pass
rehearsal which was not particularly
encouraging. Neither of the ends
seemed to be up to form, although Mer-
rill once or twice got away. Coffin and
Hodgson INDUCED in a punting duel.
The former is kicking in fine form and.
IL he gets into the Navy contest, will
be depended upon to do the punting
for the Army. His chances of starting
against the Middies Saturday are con-
sidered good. He was used on the Var
sity back field for a long time today
in combination with Van Fleet and
Hodgson, with Capt. Prichard at quar-
ter. Harmon also got trial at quar-
ter on the big team today Oliphant
worked out on the scrubs. both at
quarter and as halfback. The men viii
get another drill tomorrow morning,
which will wind up the home work,
as the squad will leave for Philadel-
phia Friday morning.
There was a big demonstration by
the rooters in the stands today with
a band accompaniment.
