TEETH PROJECTIONS
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Many Animals Fail to Make Good
Gains Owing to Bad COndi-
ton of Grinders.

The horse most commonly grown
upon the farm and the one which is
so often neglected, when it comes to
preparing him for market is the draft
horse.
Pounds Of flesh are an important
factor in determining his market value.
This being the case, it is very neces-
sary to have him make heavy gains.
One Of the first points to be considered
in fattening a horse is to attend to his
teeth. Many horses fail to make good
gains, due to the fact that their teeth
are not in proper condition.
The preparation Of the teeth is
known as the floating Of the teeth.
II is best to get a veterinarian to do
this, as he has the proper instruments,
and where there are many to do, it
can be done more rapidly. Floating
the teeth is a point which a great
many people overlook, and is in many
instances the cause Of a horse being
out Of condition.
When a horse has a number Of sharp
projections on his teeth, the gums be.
come sore and raw, so that he does not
masticate his food properly; conse-
quently indigestion often results and
the horse runs down in his condition.
In examining a lot Of horses recent.
ly, it was found that a large number
Of them had sharp projections on the
under edge Of the grinders. Their
mouths we're in such a condition that
a person would wonder how they could
eat at all.
But after their teeth had been float
ed down, quite a marked change war
noticed.

TANKAGE FOR HOGS
IS QUITE VALUABLE
Results Given Of Tests Conducted
by Expert at Minnesota
Agricultural College.

Experiments recently conducted at
the Minnesota College Of Agriculture
tend to show that, as a hog feed, tank
age is valuable. R. c. Ashby, assist
ant husbandman, in charge Of swine,
states that in q series Of tests the
lots fed tankage returned a profit on
the grain fed, while the others did not,
Five lots Of hogs, Of as near the
same size and age as possible we're
selected. Three we're fed a mixture
Of sheiled corn. shorts and tankage
One was fed shelled corn, shorts and
oil meal. and the other a mixture Of
shelled corn and shorts.
Figuring corn at go cents a bushel,
shorts at $26 a ton, tankage at SIS.
and oil meal at $50, the tankage-fed
lots returned from i've to nine cents
profit on a bushel Of grain fed.
An interesting side light Of the ex-
pertinent was a trial Of the selffeeder.
The three feeds. shelled corn, shorts
and tankage were supplied in a dry
form and separately. The hogs Sc
leoted the following ration: shelled
corn. 86.5 per cent; shorts, SIS, and
tankage, 10. The settled hogs made
greater daily gains than the fastest

The consumption of mutton per cap
tia IN the United States is increasing
every year, though the amount used is
much less in proportion to other meat
than in Europe. There are good rea-
sons for expecting a continuation Of
good prices for mutton and lamb, and
the demand for wool also may be ex-
pected to increase more rapidly than
the production. These facts are
brought out in a recent letter from a
scientist Of the department Of agricul-
'ture to a southern farmer who in
CURED regarding the possibilities Of
the sheep business.
The departments specialist called
attention to the fact that while farm
raised sheep have often not been prof
table. this has usually been because
of lack Of proper attention and man
agement. Variations in price Of wool
and mutton have stood IN the way of
such general interest in sheep as
would cause them to be regarded as
highly as they should be in the future.
Ranges all over the world are now
carrying about as many sheep as they
can support under a strict range sys-
tenn. and an increase in the production
Of sheep products must come mainly
from farms. Here, then, is the farm
er's opportunity to take advantage of
the increased consumption Of these
products.
While mutton can be produced at
low cost and there is a growing de-
mand for it, difficulty in selling may
be experienced in sections where the
amount Of live stock produced has not
been sufficient to make it worth while
for regular buyers to operate. Slaugh-

Dr. John North Of Toledo, o., IS
working on the theory that tuberou-
losls may be due to a lack Of lime
in the system, as he says that while
tubercular germs are everywhere, they
only thrive in ripe soil and Just what
is lacking in persons subject to tuber-
cular trouble gives food for thought.
He says that there is less tuber-
culosis among people living in arid re-
gions, and plants In such places have
more lime in their composition than
those growing in humid regions.

tering plants that can handle carloads
are within reach Of all sections and If
a sufficient number Of neighbors com
bine to have 100 lambs Of similar
breeding, size and condition to ship
jointly the returns are assured. It
will also be possible to secure visits
and bids from buyers when such a
number is promised. The lamb clubs
OF Tennessee have proved very sue
cessful in this work. The same organ
ization can be used in disposing Of the
wool.
In the countries where economy In
farm management has been studied a
long time the sheep is considered to
be necessary in utilizing vegetation on
such waste lands as are not wet or
marshy. But the sheep can hold It's
place on high-priced land as a meat
producer alone. Compared with
larger animals It has some important
advantages. First, the lambs mature
very rapidly, being marketable at four
months Of age or later, according to
breeding and feeding This is an
economy, because a larger proportion
Of the total feed goes into increase
Of weight than in slower growing ami
mails. Second, the sheep consumes
greater variety of plants than do other
animals. Many of such plants are
detrimental to pastures and would
otherwise require hard labor to hold
them in check Third, grain waste in
harvesting can be entirely recovered
by sheep. These facts prompt some
farmers to claim that the summer food
Of sheep costs nothing, because what
they consume would otherwise bring
no returns

.ROAD
BUILDING
POOR ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE
More FUSS over Freight Rates Thar
Cost Of Hauling Crops From
Farm 80 Railroad.

A good deal Of fuss Is raised oven
freight rates, and everybody who has
anything to do with the transportation
Of crops OF merchandise Is up IN arms
the moment railroads give the least
intimation that freight rates are to be
advanced. But at the same time. there
is a strong tendency to give no atten-
ton to the cost Of hauling farm crops
from their point Of origin on the farm
to the railroad station; a matter Of
greater concern than all the railroad
rates IN the world, says Fruit Grower
and Farmer.
Uncle Sam has found that II costs
in the neighborhood Of 25 cents a mile
to haul a ton over the average coun-
try road. But this cost may run up
to ten times this figure over bad roads,
and be reduced as many times over
good roads with modern vehicles.
This cost is something that is rarely
ever figured in BY the producer when
summing up his marketing expense,
even though It viii frequently make
figure that is not much less than the
cost Of getting his produce to the dis
tant market by rail.
Good roads are expensive, to build
and are more or less Of an expense to
maintain, but II It we're possible to
compare the lowered cost Of trans
porting the farm produce over the
road before and after improvement It
would be found that the cost was paid
back with interest within very few
years after improvement. Low grades
are Of first consideration, for It costs
more money to haul over a billy road
than over a level one, where the sur
face Is the same. But on almost any
road, It is easily possible to have at
least a smooth surface on which to
drive.
The King drag is the implement that
win make the surface smooth and
keep It smooth. And the wonder Of
It is that more farms do not have a
drag as an essential part Of their
equipment Road dragging time is
Just coming with the breaking up OF
the snow, and its usual aecompani-
ment of mud. Heavy traffic over such
roads makes ruts and bad roads Of the
worst sort. unless the ruts are filled
by dragging Prepare now to keep
your road dragged this year, and
lower the cost Of hauling your prod
uce to. market

wagons pull more easily than narrow

when they are used. The wide tire
does not cut so deep and makes a bet
ter track on roads which are Travelled
while the ground is soft. The wide
tire packs the surface into firm road
bed, and thus enables it to drain well
in time Of rain.
In cornfielda, plowed fields, field
lanes, and on pasture and alfalfa land,
the draft on the wide tire is consider
ably less, no matter what the condi-
ton Of the soil. The wide tire does
not cut up the meadow or field as
does the narrow tire. This is also
important, as a smooth surface in the
meadow is much easier to NOW over.
Use no tire less than four inches on
your fields or on soft roads; make q
King road drag and use It. Thus low
er your own freight rates By lowering
your hauling costs.
