HOW TO RAISE ORPHAN COLTS
FoaI May Be Raised on Cows MIX In
Case Of Accidents Attendant Must
BE Patient.

(By W. g. ALEXANDER, Wisconsin Ex-
pertinent Station,)
In case the mare dies or has no
milk the foal may be raised on cows
milk, If the attendant conducts the
work patiently and inteIligently.
Choose the milk of cow that has
recently calved, preferably one which
gives milk low in butterfat, as mares
milk, while rich in sugar, is poor in
fat. Sweeten the milk with molasses
or sugar and dilute with warm water.
Give little Of this prepared milk at
short intervals from a scalded nurs-
ing bottle and large rubber nipple. Be
careful to keep the bottle and nipple
scrupulously clean. Add an ounce of
lime water to each pint Of the pre-
pared milk and allow half a cupful
once an hour at first.
As the foal grows, gradually in
crease the amount of milk fed and
Iengthen the intervals between meals,
In few days food may be given six
times day and, later, four times
daily. The foal will soon learn to
drink from pail, If allowed to suck
the attendants fingers at first.
Until the bowels move freely give
rectal injections night and morning.
If the foal scours at any time give
two to four tablespoonfuls of mix
ture Of sweet oil and pure castor oil
shaken up in milk, and stop feeding
milk for two or three meals, allowing
sweetened warm water and lime wa
ter instead. Let the foal lick oatmeal
as soon as it will eat and gradually
increase the amount and add wheat
bran. In five Or six weeks some
sweet skim milk may be given and the
amount gradually increased daily I'M
til, in three months or so, it may be
given freely three times day in

HOGS SUBJECT TO DISEASES
Mango lo Difficult te Eradicate Be-
: cause Of the Burrowin0 Habit
Of tho Parasites.

(By M. H. REYNOLDS, Minnesota Elk
pertinent Station.)
Hogs are subject to a variety Of
skin diseases. Two Of these, although
quite different, are both known as
mango.
Pitch mango is not a. true mango,
but rather an eczema, and affects hogs
that are not in vigorous health and
when kept in filthy pens and bad sur
roundings. Light-skinned hogs appear
somewhat more susceptible to this
than others. The skin is at first red
ana perhaps swollen. Small red spots
appear and subsequently change to
blisters, which dry and form crusts.
The main treatment needed,is simple
cleanliness and the sort Of feed that
will make the hog healthy and yigor-
GUS = It usually means a complete
change of surroundings and plenty Of
good food.
Hogs are subject also tStrue mango.
This is caused by a y6inute animal
parasite which burrows into the skin
like the human itch mite and causes
severe infiammation-an and itching. This
form of mango is especially difficult
to treat because Of the burrowing
habit of the parasite. Mango begins
somewhere on the head or neck and
extends slowly backward. The hams
are likely to be affected sooner or
later. The bristles fall out, and the
skin becomes very thick and wrinkled.
Sometimes it is thickened to an as
tonishing extent. Hog mango is Pc
cuHar on account Of the powderlike
surface Of the crust.

II you like brother here,
Tell him 50;

Let him know;
All the roses that you spread
On his bier when he is dead
Are not worth one kind work said
Years ago.
You can help brother now;
If you will
Smooth the burrows from his brow,
You can kill
The despair that's in his heart
With word, and ease the smart.
So why stand you now apart,
Keeping still?

Very dear.
But absurdly now you stay
And withhold what you could say
That would cheer him on bis way
For his bier.
What, l wonder. if the dead
Saw and heard
What is done and what is said
Afterward,
Would they utter in reply?
Would they smile and ask US why
When the time to help was nigh,
No one stirred?
Keep your roses for the'living,"
They would say,
Waste no time in praises giving
Us TODAY:

If you like another, say SO,
For the thing that now you praise SO
Is but clay. !"

and usually possesses q dirty nose to
wipe on the trousers of the feeder.
The accompanying illustration tells
how to feed the hegs without going
into the lot or field. The trough is
secured to the ground by means Of
strong stakes and is held at one end
against the fence. A spout made Of
four boards extends from the end of
the trough to the outside and Is firm
ly secured to the fence and trough.
The feed is poured through the
spout and it gives such force to the
flow that the far end of the trough
is usually reached before it is stopped
by the hogs. A paddle is kept by the
fence to force down the solid matter
that tends to accumulate in the spout
and to empty the water that stands
In the trough after rain. !.

KING REJECTS PREMIER.

Paris, Oct. 8.-What purports to be
details OF the historic interview be-
tween King Constantine and Eleuther-
Ois Venizelos which resulted in the
latter's resignation as prime minister
of Greece, are printed in the Greek
journal Kairoi.
After agreeing to mobilization as a
precaution involving no change OF
policy, the king asked the premier
what was the object Of the concentra-
tion of such strong army on the
Macedonian frontier. M. VeniZelos an
swered that the object was two fold
first to defend the country, and second,
to 20 to the aid Of Serbia in case she
were attacked by Bulgaria.
The king then remarked that h7
agreed with Venizelos so far as de-
Tending the country was concerned,
but could not see that Greece was call
ed on to help Serbia. The premier
recalled the obligations imposed on
Greece by her treaty of alliance, but
Constantine retorted that when
Greece asked Serbia's aid in Turkey
in May, 1914, it was refused.
To further arguments by the prem
Ter the king replied that Venizelos was
contradicting himself, for when the
allied powers asked Greece to assist
Serbia at the time of the Austrian at
tack. Venizelos made promise OF
such assistance conditional on the
armed cooperation of Rumania and the
benevolent: neutrality of Bulgaria.
These conditions not having been
pledged, the king pointed out, he re-
fused to Join Serbia at time when
the Austrian forces arrayed against
her did not exceed 100000 and Bull
garia was not hostile.
"But today" added the king, the
Austro-G Germans are half million, to
whom must be added 100000 Bulgar-
ians. and the retreat of the Russians
prevents the Rumanians from doing
anything for Serbia"
