Mold Poison In Horses

Reports from st veIal localities show
a considerable loss among horses run
ming IN cornstalks. 1t is possible that
owing to the excessive rainfall during
the late summer. followed hy Wal
dry weather, certain molds were de-
vcloped on the corn plant which cansed
the same trouble amut.g horses that
%occIrred dnring tn. late summer of
1912. Horses are peculiarly susceptible
To molds whether on grain or forage.
Experiments at the Nebraska Agri-
cultural College IS wei, ~ in other
states have shown that VIII n fed muldy
ear corn horses develop "A fatal disease
affecting the brain, commonly called
blind staggcrs. Ear corn showing any
signs of mold shou d not, be fed to
horses. Where shelled corn is fed il
san be placed in II bucket and water
poured over it,. Stirring will bring
the light moldy kernels to the top,
when they can be poured of.

Ayrshire Makes Big Record

Lady Lincoln. one of the compare
lively few Ayrshire cows in Nebraska
and owned 10y the State University
dairy department, produced in one
year 14,17s pounds of milk and 5l1.57
pounds of butter fat, according to a
test recently completed. This is said
to be probably the largest record of
any Ayrshire COW in Nebraska. Lady
Lincoln WAS seven years and seven
months of age when she finished her
recofd and has completed five yearly
milking periods which average ll,79S
pounds of milk and 397 pounds of
butter fat.
.Altho there are only a few Ayrshire
cattle in Nebraska, dairymen SAY that
they are giving excellent satisfaction
where tried and are gaining in pop.
ularity. The Ayrshire COW is noted
for her hardness and her ability as a
r~ustler. 1t is characteristic of her to
give "A rather large amount of milk of
average richness The breed has not
made such phenomenal records AS the
other leading dairy breeds, but as a
rule the COWS are persistent and como
mical producers of both milk and
butter fat.

ON making the liquor question n part
of the democratic platform and We
have replied to him Ms follows:
'Drar Bro. Metcalfe Replying to
your inquiry recording the position
which we expect to take regarding the
liquor question will say that we can
not consider this a partisan measure.
BY partisan we mean Incorporating IT
into present political parties. II
should be settled on itI own merits.
We believe IL should be submitted to
the people separately and kept out OF
party platforms.
