LACK OF A FEEDING SYSTEM
Responsible for Major Portion of Loss
of Valuable Animals From Collie
and Like Troubles.
(By w. II. DALRYMPLE, Louisiana

(By w. II. DALRYMPLE, Louisiana
Experiment Station.)
After an opportunity during the last
25 years of studying and observing
conditions under which many of our
work animals are fed, we have no hes
itancy in saying that lack of system in
feeding is responsible for the major
portion of the loss of valuable animals
from collie, Inflammation of the bow
els, etc.
Many who lose valuable mules on
the plantations and farms from diges-
tive troubles are wont to place the
blame of the kind or class of feed the
animals have been given; while, In
reality, the blame properly belongs to
the unnatural and unintelligent man.

A properly balanced ration of the very
best quality Of oats. when fed intel
ligently and Systematically, may not
induce a case Of collie during the nat
ural lifetime of the animal. But If the
entire days ration of oats is fed at
one time, instead Of II being divide d

prompt action even at this time will

crop but should considerably reduce
the pest the following year.
The depredations of the grubs are
confined particularly to the roots of
clover and alfalfa. Their work is,
therefore, not evident to the casual
observer, and the little white insects
themselves can hardly be noticed. The
adult insect, also, which Is a tiny
beetle, Injuries both clover and alfalfa,
but these injuries are less serious,
although more noticeable. They may
be particularly noticed in September
and October, when mutilated clover
leaves along any roadside will testify
to their abundance.
1t was only in May, 1914, that the
first absolute proof was secured Of
the insects serious devastations in al
falfa fields, and the department is still
looking for the most practicable meth
DDS to prevent further losses. 1t seems
that a short rotation of the alfalfa
crop might have tendency to limit
the abundance Of the insect in the
fields, but this would not affect the
continuous breeding Of the pest in
waste lands or where clover or alfalfa
occur uninterruptedly. The limited
amount of food consumed by the ad-
ults would place the application of poi
sons out of practical consideration,
and the burning over of fields in win
ter would hardly destroy enough of
the alternating adults to limit their
devastations the following season.

COST OF BABC0CK TESTERS
Two-sottIe Hand Testing Equipment,

An inquiry has come to the dairy

The twobottle hand tester, com.

of creamery supply houses for four
dollars. The four-bottle hand testers
may be had complete for five dollars.
Sulphuric acid for testing can usually
be obtained at drug stores at 25 or 80

that he had more confidence in my

his bearing, which alone understood.

He had run down the ravine for that

Or why his foolish story of having
left his stick behind him? But the
sound of my approaching steps higher
