HORSES FINDING MOST FAVOR
,7reatest Weakness in Industry is
Production Of Too Many Gen.
eraI Purpose Animals.

Tt. farmer who seeks to find favor
among the horse buyers of today must
produce an animal that is especially
adapted to some particular kind OF
work. He must be special-purpose
horse, must possess the ability to do
some one kind of work so exception
ally well, by reason of his conforma-
ton, that he is out of place at any
thing else.
Perhaps the greatest weakness in
the horse-breeding industry is the pro-
1uction of too many general purpose
horses. This kind Of animal. while
not especially adapted to any one kind
Of work, will do fairly well almost any
kind Of work, yet from the market
standpoint he Is not a profitable ami
NAL to breed. The special-purpose
animal, while not costing any more to
feed and raise, will sell In most cases
tor q much higher price.

KEEP LITTLE CHICKS CLEAN
Cleanliness Must Be Observed Before
Youngster Leaves Nest-Use
Insect Powder.

Without absolute cleanliness and
plenty of sunshine it is impossible to
obtain perfect success in raising
young chickens. Cleanliness must be-
gin before the young chicken leaves
Its nest, in fact it should begin with
the making of the nest and the placing
of the eggs therein.
The nest boxes should be filed
about two inches deep with loose
earth or sod and new, clean straw
should be used for the top filling.
Before the hen is allowed to sit on the
eggs she should be thoroughly busted
with powder, care being taken that
the powder reaches every portion of
the body, particularly under the legs
and wings. This process should be
repeated every ten days, the last dust
ing to be given just before the chicks
are to come out.
AS soon as the young chicks appear
before they are two sdays old-a
tiny bit of vaseline should be rubbed
with the finger on the head and under
each wing. Care must be used not
to smear them too much as it will
work an injury to the tender chick
ems.
Young chickens should never be al
lowed to run In an old yard that is,
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1916-07-14

they are taking grain and roughage
to their full capacity. Cattle cannot
go on to full feed suddenly, for they
cannot adjust themselves hurriedly to
a change in diet. They must therefore
be worked up to full feed gradually,
and so be accustomed to the ration.
This period is often known as the
warming up" period, and lasts from
two to six weeks, depending upon
whether the cattle have ever been ac-
customed to any grain. Since this is
a filling-up process. cattle get on to
fed on a ration made up largely of
roughage material, and not a great
deal of grain. Too much grain at the
beginning will likely lead to digestive
disturbances from which the cattle re-
cover only slowly. Moreover, the cattle
are later more subject to such attacks.
A larger proportion of steers are
short fed than formerly, principally
because the working margin is mar
rover, and the market does not make
enough difference in price for the de-
gree of finish put upon the cattle to
warrant the longer period. Cheaper
and larger daily gains can be made
during the short period than during
the long period, because, since the ra-
ton can be made heavier and the steer
forced more rapidly, he will not waste
so much of the ration.
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1916-07-14

one that has not been thoroughly
renovated either by growing crop
of grass, oats or rye, or one that has
been thoroughly spaded up, raked and
rolled down. OF course very few
chicken raisers go to this trouble but
nevertheless if one is to have perfect
success this is absolutely necessary.
If young chickens have been treated
as described above and are given the
run of clean yard and the oppor-
tunity to get out into the garden and
in the grass they will not be troubled
with gapes or vermin. When young
chicks once become infested with lice
1t Is almost impossible to rid them OF
the pests. If the large head lice are
allowed to get Il start on young chick
ems they will kill them in very short
time.

GOOD TREATMENT FOR COLDS
Equal Parts Of zenoIeum and Kerosene
Are Recommended-Give EPSON
Salts in Mash.

Labored breathing, wheeling, rat
tling in the throat, gaping and sneez-
ing, are symptoms of colds in the
flock. When birds showing these
symptoms are discovered they should
be removed from the flock and treated.
Use equal parts of Zenoleum and kero-
sene or equal parts of kerosene and
sweet oil, immersing the heads OF the
birds in the mixture or injecting small
amounts of it into the nostrils and
mouth. EPSON salts should be given
in u moist mash also while the birds
are under treatment.

Proper Care Of the Feet,

A frequent footbath is not only
soothing and refreshing but is bene-
fetal to the health OF the feet and
that Of the entire system. The foot
is an excretory center and by keep
ing the pores clear and free the waste
matter of the system is removed. A
good footbath for nightly use is COM
posed Of water as hot as 1t can be
borne in which a little powdered
boric acid has been dissolved. Let
the feet soak for FIVE minutes, wash
them off in cooler water and finish
with a good brisk rubbing Of cold
cream.
