TREATING HORSE FOR THRUSH
Hoof Should Be Trimmed Properly,
Diseased Parts Removed and
Strong DIslnfectsnt Applied.

CBy NJ. II. REYNOLDS, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station)
Thrush In horses feet is frequently
caused by standing In filth. This
changes the texture of the bcof and
infection follows. Continuous stand
ing on very dry floors may also cause
this trouble, while in some cases II Is
apparently caused by contraction
OF the hoof.
When the horse is shod with high
heel and toe calks or the wall Of the
hoof is allowed to grow very long and
the horse stands on hard floor so that
there is no pressure on the frog OF
the foot, the condition of the frog Is
impaired and II becomes subject to
infection and disease. Cases of thrush
need dry, clean stall.
Trim the hoof properly, remove the
diseased parts and apply strong dis
infectant over. the sole Of the foot.
Any OF the coal tar disinfectalits may
be used full strength. Pure carbolic
acid may be used, care being taken
that II does not run down the heel and
burn the skin.
After the first strong disinfectant.
calomel should be busted over the dis
eased surface and some thick clay ap-
piled to the entire sole.

All Varieties Are Good sitters and
Only Ordinary Care ls Needed
for 8 rofitable Results.

Ganders 81 ould be sold at four years
OF age, as they become cranky and un.
productive them.
There shcild be one gander for
every three of four geese. Geese
should be plIcked about three times a
year, and should yield an average of
one pound OF feathers for each bird.
The feathers should be plucked when
there is no blood in the end of the
quilts. or when the feathers come off
without hard pulling.
Almost all varieties OF geese are
good sitters and need only ordinary
precautions in setting them to insure
favorable results.
After laying a dozen eggs they feath-
er their nests in a manner almost
identical with that employed by their
wild congeners, and at ouce commence
the duties of incubation.
After few days trial the eggs may
be given the sitter, and little care is
needed for the next month, during
which she will sit quietly. provided she
is not too much annoyed and inter-
fered with.
At the end of the month the goslings
will appear in good shape to begin life
on their own account.
For the first day or two they require
only the same diet OF boiled egg and
bread crumbs as chicks or any domes-
tic fowl receive, with, perhaps, the
addition of little tender grass, cut
fine, on the second day.
In the course OF few days they will
become strong enough to commence
investigation of the near neighbor-
hood, and may be transferred from the
nest to coop, Slated up so the old
goose will be confined while the open
ings between the Stats will permit the
goslings 10 pass In and out freely.
When the goslings appear to have
gained sufficient strength for longer
explorations. the mother may be given
her liberty, when she will lead her
flock all over the pastures, and may be
trusted to care for them unassisted by
her owner.
Geese left at large in this way will
thrive and grow fat simply on what
they can pick up suited to their taste
on almost any uncultivated meadow
Grass and various wild plants furnish
their staple food from April until No
vember, at which time their young are
ready for market.
Geese should be fed like ducks, the
animal and vegetable food predominant
ing, with small proportion of grain
food during the middle OF the day
Mashes of bran and cornmeal, with
Y cooked vegetables, should be fed morn
ing and night.
Grasses, green rye and green vege
tables will be OF advantage to tn,
birds.

PRACTICE ECONOMY in FEED RAISING GEESE FOR MARKET
For Satisfactory Results One Must
Feed Wheat, Corn and Oats
Vegetables Help Out.

Grain is high in price for those who
keep poultry and have to buy their
feed. II is causing some small breeders
some concern and the question is al
ready being asked. How can econo-
mize in the grain feed to the hens?"
IL is not possible to economize much
on grain to be fed to poultry II you ex-
pect satisfactory results. The staples
are corn. wheat and oats, meat food,
green food, grit, charcoal and oyster
shells. These may be varied and helped
out by green-cured clover and alfalfa
to be fed after steaming, various vege-
tables TO be fed raw, and other vege-
tables to be fed cooked and mashed
and mixed with ground grains, like po-
tatoes, turnips, etc, says a writer In
an exchange. These vegetables can
often be purchased very cheaply from
the growers after they have sorted out
the marketable part. Cheap grains.
like shriveled grain or sweepings, are
generally more expensive in proper
tion TO the nutriment contained than
first-class grain.
Our advice is, continue to feed good
grain, II eggs are expected, and econo-
mize in the way 1t is fed. By this we
mea;', do not give the birds more than
they will clean up. Many breeders feed
In deep litter, tnd we advocate this
practice, but there must not be three
or four inches of grain and dirt under
the litter as we have seen in some
poultry houses.

II mares are kept at light work the

being worked right up to foaling time.
Brood mares are injured by severe
work which requires them to strain or

not a suitable task for mares heavy in

GIVING CHICKENS SKIM MILK
More Eggs Produced Than From
Fowls Given Grain Ration Supple
nented With Meat Scraps

According to a general opinion OF
much attention, the value OF skim
milk to laying hens is from 70 cents
to $2.15 per hundred pounds. The latter
figure is evidently a little optimistic.
According to experiments conducted
by the Indiana experiment station,
$173 was returned per hundred
pounds of skim milk purchased at 80
cents. These experiments covered a
period OF two years; one pen of laying
hens received corn, wheat, oats, bran
aud shorts In the same proportion, in
addition to all the skim milk the fowls
would drink, and another pen received
only the grain portion OF the ration
that the former received. In averaging
the results obtained from feeding
these rations through two years of ex-
periments II has been shown that the
average number of eggs laid per hen
receiving grain and skim milk was
1895 eggs, whereas the hens that did
not receive skim milk with the grain
ration produced an average of only 80
eggs per hen. It was also shown that
during the winter months. December,
January and February, when eggs are
the highest in price, that the pen re-
ceiving skim milk produced seven per
cent more eggs even than the pen re-
ceiving grain ration supplemented
with meat scraps. a feed generally
recognized as a great egg producer.

II is a difficult matter to estimate the
amount Of feed which will be required
by so pigs up to August 1, as very
much depends upon the capacity OF
the pigs to make rapid gains.
On good rape or alfalfa pasture.
however, no more than $50 to 400
pounds of grain, or its equivalent.
should be required for 100 pounds OF
gain. The value of skim milk can be
reduced to a grain basis by figuring
$50 pounds OF skim milk to equal 100
pounds OF grain when fed with corn
In the proportion above advised.
Figuring upon this basis, 1t will not
be difficult to estimate approximately
the amount of feed which will be re-
quired for the time mentioned.

II saves many good COW from the

1t is an encourager OF good feeding
and good care.
II gives the farmer an opportunity
TO build up good producing herd
II increases ones interest in dairy

means OF labor merely.
In short, II is plain common sense.
