The young colt needs the best of
care on the farm. for it's life depends
upon the care it gets during the first
few weeks of it's life. Navel-ill in
colts requires close attention, for the
disease is caused by a micro-organ-
ism. Several bacteria have been sus-
pected of being responsible for this
malady. Every one of the suspected
organisms is found abundantly in
manure and on objects contaminated
with manure. The infective material
gains entrance into the colt through
the open umbilical cord, as q result
Of it's coming in contact with litter,
floors or discharge from it's dam, con-
taminated by one of the organisms
that cause the trouble.
One of the easiest ways to prevent
the disease is to insist upon clean
stables. 1t isn't a hard task to keep
the stalls clean if they are watched
each day. Mares in the latest stages
of CESSATION should be placed in a
box stall that has been previously
cleaned and disinfected. The bedding
should be renewed frequently and the
external genital organs of the mare
and the neighboring tissues should be
cleaned and disinfected with 2 per
cent solution of carbolic acid, or 1
per cent solution of some coal tar dis
infectant. Operations for opening alb
scesses and the removal of after-births
from COWS should not be performed in
the immediate vicinity of the preg-
nant mare 1t is up to the farmer to
watch these matters closely and a

ALWAYS JOY IN GOOD WORK
Pleasure In Doing, No Matter What
the Task, Lifts II From the
Thought Of Drudsery.

One of the changes which must be
gradually introduced into industry IL
we ere to prepare the way for a fresh
outburst OF human spirit In It Is to
increase the element of pleasure, re-
marks the Engineering Magazine.
There are parts OF industry which
are now fascinating to the workers.
Western America CLOVIS with the en-
thusiasm of the conquest OF nature
by the mind Many engineering con-
ceptions. many smoothly interlocking
systems OF administration and many
conserving plans of financing. have
been accompanied in the doing with
thrills OF delight, which have bound
the performers like lovers to their
tasks.
Good work and joyous work are, IN
the long run, the same. Wherever IN
industry good things have been done
wherever achievements have been
characterized by vigor and largeness
OF plan, simplicity and directness OF
method, and nervous beauty and nm
ish of detail-we may be sure that we
have to do with work which has per-
mltted the performer to experience
joy, freedom and an exuiting sense OF
strength. while It was being accom-
plished. And. contrarfwise, when we
find the worker intelligent and joyous
we may expect superior results. TOR
then the psychological conditions are
right.
Pleasure in work produces sympa-
thetic, teachable mental attitude to-
ward the task. It makes the atten-
ton involuntary and eases the strain
of attending. It stops the nervous
leaks of worry. One Of the secrets
of lasting well Is to avoid getting
stale and tired and in a mental rut.
Pleasure gives a sense Of freedom

great many cases of navel-ill will be
avoided.
Just as soon as the foal is dropped
it should be placed on clean bedding.
In any event, the umbilical cord OF
the foal should be washed in a dis
injecting solution and tied, at about
one and one-half inches from the body,
with a band or string which has pre-
viously been soaked in a disinfectant.
The navel cord should then be severed
about half inch below the band with
a sharp knife and again disinfected.
The band, however, should not be
frightened until pulsations of the blood
vessels in the cord have ceased.
The stump of the cord is then paint
ed with strong carbolic acid solution,
tincture of iodine, or a mixture OF
equal parts of tincture of iodine and
daily with a disinfectant and either
paint it with an iodine mixture or car
bolic acid, or dust it with some relia-
BILE antiseptic healing powder. The
parchmentlike dried stump of the
cord may be cut off after five days
and wound washed with a disinfec-
tant and busted with powder until en-
tirely healed Once the infection of
the navel cord has set in the cord
should not be bound tightly, but
should be washed in a disinfecting So
luton and a veterinarian called for
the subsequent treatment.
Any farming community can be
properly sized up by the quality of it's
horses.

SOME ESSENTIALS
OF FARM ANIMALS
Farmer Makes Mistake in Breed
ing Horses Not Adapted to
His Requirements.

Poor and worthless old plugs tug
ging in the harness keep company
holding the lines.
Even an old plug horse may be kept
neat and clean and be afforded sutfi-
cient amount of wholesome food so
that it may be capable of doing some
useful work.
The grade sire is a proposition we
should steer clear of.
Proficiency is a fixed characteristic
in all purebred sires.
The average farmer makes mis-
take when he breeds trotting horses
or other breeds not adapted to his
business.
No one point is more essential than
sound. well-shaped hoofs. The value
Of a horse depends to large extent
upon his feet.
The fact that a horse has been i'm
ported does not add one cent to its
intrinsic value for breeding purposes.
However, many horse breeders believe
that about the only requisite is that
a stallion should come from some for
eign country. The facts are that
America should be and is breeding her
own draft horses instead of importing
them.
We are fast getting over the notion
that we are dependent upon breeders
of the old world for improved live
stock

USEFUL TOOLS FOR
WORK In ORCHARDS
Blade of Moving Machine, Fitted
to Wooden Handle, Will Be
Found Satisfactory.

A useful tool for cutting canes OF
bush fruits is made from the blade OF
a moving machine fitted to wooden
handle. 1t looks like a tomahawk with
a sharp blade on each side. The blade
stands at an angle which gives it the
right slope to cut we'll without tearing
the plants. 1t should be made of the
very best steel and the lower edge OF
the blade shCHld be kept very sharp
across the full face.
Another useful tool is made from an
old file or wood rasp, with shoulder
or lug turned up to fit on a scythe
snath The same tool works better,
however with a straight handle. But
it must be kept very sharp to do eff
fective work.

CARING FOR S0WS
AT WEAVING TIME
Best Decrease Amount of Feed
and Turn Her Into Separate
Yard Away From Pigs.

1t s,best to decrease the amount or
feed that is allowed the SOW day or
two before weaving time and turn
her in a separate yard away from the
pigs and allow her very little feed out
side of the pasture for four or five
days, so that her milk flow will cease
and not injure her for future breed
ing.
After this, bran and short 1eeo IN
a thick slop and one or two ears Oh
corn will prove an excellent ration
for a few weeks. At all times pro-
vide plenty of pure water, charcoal ana
salt.
After breeding increase the amount
of millfeed and feed less corn Tor
about eight weeks and then supple
ment the millfeed with one pound OF
tankage and find that one pound
day for each SOW will bring satlsLac'
tory results at narrowing time.

The hopperdozer is constructed of
sheet iron, preferably galvanized, of
reasonable thickness to insure

pieces, made of single sheet 10 or
12 feet long and 26 inches in width.
The front is formed by turning UP one
edge a couple of inches, and the back
may be turned up foot, thus making
a shallow pan / foot wide, with the
back the same height and with front
2 inches high. Ends are riveted in

the pan as shown, and should extend
both backward and forward, in order
to overcome to some extent the in
equalities of the ground and cause the

By soldering it about the heads OF
the rivets the pan will be made water
tight. The pan is filled with water on

cover it with film, the horse is
hitched to the end runners, and the
