Navel-nl in Colts

It is a we'll known fact to ev-
cry stockman and farmer that he
is fortunate if he brands so per
cent OF the foals born. The NOR
tality of colts run high, and we
sometimes wonder why this is
true out here in Montana where
infection diseases have gained
but a sight foothold.
The causes are numerous
barbed wire takes its toll, pre-
daceous animals must have their
share in spite Of the bounty, ac-
cidents happen, and some-a
great many in act just die.
Sometimes we know Of the death
and what caused it, again we do
not know nor do we investigate,
There are several colt diseases.
but about the only one that gives
much trouble it Montana stock
growers is the navel-ill. Two dis
tinct'y different forms Of this dis
ease have been recognized. The
first may be termed a local infec-
ton of the navel and perhaps is
the more common as we'll as less
fatal. In this case there is sim
ply the enhancement or swelling
of the ruptured umbilical cord.
1t soon discharges pus and is very
tender and sore. Any good dis
infectant such as carbolic acid or
lysol can be used to cleanse the
part.
When the infection, instead of
attacking the tissues immediate
ly surrounding the navel. gains
access to the general circulation
through the umbilical vein the
SYMPTOMS are entirely different
from those seen in the local dis
ease. The navel itself may show
very little or no swelling. In
these cases the most common
point for the infection to show
itself is in one or more of the
joints of the limbs, and OCCASION
ally in some of the internal or
gans.
Owing to the fact that these
parts are so far removed from
the point where infection takes
place, the owner or caretaker
usually does not suspect navel in
lection. In these cases the foal
may be found to be very lame in
one leg, on the third to the sew
enth day. An examination will
reveal a joint somewhat swollen,
hot and painful to touch. The
hook, stifle and knee joint are
most often affected.
AS a result a colt cannot stand
long and does not receive enough
food to be properly nourished.
He loses in condition rapidly,
does not thrive. and usually dies
in four days to a couple of weeks.
We don't often run across this
trouble under range conditions.
yet sometimes a case is found,
often it occurs where foals are
born in muddy corrals, dirty
stalls or barns. Even the appar-
emily clean stalls sometimes cause
trouble. So it is a good plan to
disinfect the stump of the brok-
en- cord as soon after the foal is
dropped as possible. Use one of
the above mentioned solutions in
a wide mouthed bottle and i'm.
merse the raw stump for several
minutes. Generally speaking the
safest treatment is prevention

Breaking Sod

During the past few years
many ideas have been advanced
by Montana homesteaders and
farmers with regard to proper
depth Of breaking native sod.
Some claimed that subsequent
blowing could not be deeper than
the original and that a deep fur
row slice would conserve more
moisture than a shallow one. On
the other hand. many particular
farmers coming from Canada and
North Dakota claimed that much
less power Was required and
moisture conserved equally as
we'll by shallow blowing. The
experience of farmers, as given
at the farmers Institutes, shows
that a large majority favor med
ium deep blowing, say four or
five inches.
Many successful men say that
rolling is even more important
than the depth Of the breaking.
Sod should be rolled with heavy
rollers as fast as plowed. The
roller should be heavy enough to
f1atten the sods out and press
them down firmly upon the sub
soil, thereby eliminating all the
air spaces. No roller can do a
good job if the sod is allowed to
dry before packing. Narrowing
will usually produce a seed bed
on smooth rolled sod. Experience
is decidedly against chopoing up
the sod with a disc. The sod
seed bed will be just as level and
smooth as any seed bed if plow-
ed medium deep, rolled immedi-
ately after blowing while the sod
is soft and cheesy, and narrowed
thoroughly.
Flax and corn are the best sod
crops-corn produces feed and
flax is a cash crop. Flax has al
ways been a sod crop in the
Northwest and produced almost
as heavy a crop on sod as on old
land. 1t is not hard on land and
withstands drought as we'll as
small grain. Clean, treated flax
seed on smooth land breaking is
a good combination for new land.
