BEST TREATMENT FOR CoLlC
improper Feeding is Most Common
Cause OF Trouble-Physie Of
Salts or Oil Is Favored.

by L. L. LEWIS. Oklahoma Experiment
StationD
Collie in horses and cattle is from
various causes. but is more particu.
larly due to sudden changes in feed
or to eating more feed than can be
easily digested by the animal at that
time. The amount OF feed that an ami.
NAL may digest at one time under
certain conditions may be entirely too
much under other conditions. Since
collie may be caused by so many differ-
ent things, no one remedy will prove
effective in all cases.
AS a general rule, most OF the COLES
that are seen in farm stock are due TO
improper feeding In those cases the
best general treatment that might be
used would be TO give as early as pos
sible a physic Of salts or oil. To re-
lieve the pain seen particularly in
spasmodic collie, the safest general
treatment that can be used is TO give
from one to one and one-half ounce
OF chloral hydrate, dissolved in a pint
OF water, TO which has been added one
teaspoonful OF ground ginger
Do not give laudanum in such cases,
as II only tends TO produce constipa.
tion, and on this account is one OF the
poorest remedies that you can use.

MIXTURE FOR LAYING FOWLS

Wheat and Oats In Litter-Make
Hens Exercise.

In order to obtain eggs il is neces.
sary to have healthy, vigorous stock,
properly fed.
A splendid mixture for laying hens
is equal parts OF cracked corn, wheat.
and oats, which should be scattered
in the litter.
Bran or middlings and beef scraps
should be kept in receptacles to which
the fowls have access at all times.
Plenty OF exercise increases the
egg yield.
Provide four or FIVE inches OF good.
clean litter in which to scatter the
grain.
Cabbages, mangels, potatoes. sprout-
ed oats, etc, make excellent green
feed.
When wet mashes are fed be sure
they are crumbly and not sticky.
For the first three days chicks may

bread soaked in milk When bread
and milk are used, care should be ex.
ercised to squeeze all milk out OF the
bread. From the third or fourth day
until the chicks can eat wheat and
cracked corn, commercial chick feed
is a good ration.
Plenty of pure, fresh water, grit
shell, and green feed should be avail
able from the first day.
There is very little danger Of over
feeding young stock

leo State College)
What is the best breed OF poul-
try?" This is a question that is so
often asked that a few words by way
Of explanation might not be amiss.
In the first place there is no such
thing as "the best breed for all To-
cations and conditions. There are so
many things that enter into the selec-
tion OF a breed OF fowls that one can
readily seen hLw utterly impossible an
accurate answer is to SO general
question.
In the second place there are some
twelve distinct classes OF chickens,
and In each class there are from three
to SIX breeds, and these breeds divid.
ed into from six to twelve varieties
Each class, breed, or variety has some
points that make It particularly well
adapted to the purpose for which IL
is intended. And right here lies the
important point in deciding upon the
kind OF poultry to keep. First Of all
decide whether you are to raise chick
ems for eggs. meat, or both, and your
problem is more than half solved.
There are three classes OF chickens
that the farmer needs to consider in
selecting his farm flock. viz:
(a) Asiatic class, including the
Brahmas. Langshans, and Cochins,
which are large in frame, rather
coarse and fairly clumsy. somewhat
unproductive, exceedingly broody in

field has been known to add so
much to the next seasons crop as TO
repay the whole amount Of money
cost OF the sheep. but II is a mistake
to start with too many.
Three sheep to the acre are sufi-
cient for the land that can be appro-
priated for the feeding OF them. Thus.
IL one has ten acres of land that
can be used for a flock each year,
30 sheep only should be procured. II
is an easy matter to add TO the num-
ber II desired. But II is to be con-
sidered that the flock will grow very
fast, doubling almost, under favorable
conditions, every year, II well cared
for, and the ewes are not more than
three or four years old. It is a great
mistake TO make start with a flock
Of old ewes, and is money and care
wasted.

CHICKENS NEED GREEN FOOD
Cabbage Tied to Stake Is Excellent
Long STUFF Is Liable to Cause
Trouble With Hens.

When green food is given to hens In
confinement 1t should always be cut
or chopped fine. A cabbage tied to
a stake is excellent, but a variety is
better.
White clover, red clover. lawn grass,
tops OF vegetables. or even young
corn fodder. will be relisbed oy thi
hens If chopped into short lengths SO
that they can easily eat II.
Long food sometimes causes tn.
hens to become crop bound.

temperament, but make poor mothers
because OF their clumsiness AS meat
producers they are not very popular
because they are heavy eaters; they
are, however, good as heavy roasters.
The Brahmas are the most popular
breed OF this class.
(b) American class. which includes
the Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes and
the Rhode Island Reds. This is a
dual.purpose class. having reasonably
good production and excellent meat
qualities. They are hardy, attractive,
and have good material qualities. The
Plymouth Rocks are the most popular
breed generally, but all of the three
breeds in this class are of wide dis
tribution. The Crpington breed be-
longs 10 the English class but has the
same general characteristics as the
breeds in the American class.
(c) The Mediterranean class in
cludes the Leghorns, Anconas, Minor
cas-. Hamburgs. Spanish. Andalusians,
etc. This is distinctly the egg
laying class. and are active, prolific,
nervous. small, non.broody but very
hardy. The White Legborns are the
most popular variety in this class
They lay a white egg OF medium size
and reach the period OF production
earlier than any other class OF birds.
In other words, the White Leghorn
hen is the most practical egg laying
machine that we have today.
