Purebred Sire.

It is best to have the stall where the
horse is near to other horses.
I'm feeding the stallion for the sea-
son." Mr. Montgomery cautions, 1t
should be remembered that thin AMI
NAL is just as bad off as one that IS
too fat. The horse should be in good
flesh, preferably on the gain, to open
the season. The flesh should be put on
bv a. ration free from excessive corn
or other heating and fattening feeds.
Oats make a good grain ration, but
may be advantageously supplemented
by one-fifth-by weight-Of wheat or
bran. A little oil meal, UP to per
cent, is also desirable. Bright nay
should be fed at the rate of pound
a day to each hundred pounds the
horse weighs. If the stallion is being
worked, he should have pound ana
half a day to each hundred pounds.
The clover fed it should be limited TO
one-half the ordinary hay ration, for
the excess of protein in it overworks
the kidneys and is hard to eliminate
from the system"
Mr. Montgomery believes that less
pampering of the purebred slreS
would give more vigorous horses.

CUTTING THE LAMBS TAILS
Nothing Serious About Simple Opera
tion-ShouId Be Done With Pair
of Hot Pincers.

At this season of the year there is
nothing serious about the simple oper-
alton of taking off the tails of lambs,
and of castrating them as well. The
former should be done with hot pin
GERS made for the purpose, which scar
the wound, precluding infection from
knife, and at the same time preventing
bleeding. When tails are taken off in
this way, writes George p Williams
in Stockman and Farmer, we have OBJ
served that the lamb notices the oper-
alton much less than when the knife
or chisel is used Castration is best
accomplished by first cutting the
lower half or more of the scrotum
squarely off with a sharp knife; il
less be cut off difficulty is experienced
in taking hold Of the testicles and the
lamb is caused unnecessary agony by
reason of the unusual pinching and
working with the testicles before they
can be drawn out.
When tails are taken from late
lambs, the stub should be well girdled
with pine tar to prevent the work OF
flies; but this is by no means sure
preventive, and very often the eggs
may be found to have been deposited
regardless of the most careful precau-
ton. These lambs should be watched
till the wound be healed. In case mag
gots be found, catch the lamb and
pour in gasoline; this will not harm
or hurt the lamb, and is sure death
to the worms.

GET MORE VIGOROUS HORSES
Stallion Should Be in Good Physical
Condition Before Beginning Of
Breeding Season.

A stallion that is not fit to work is
not fit to sire work horses, is the opin-
ion of J. S. Montgomery Of the animal
husbandry division OF the Minnesota
College of Agriculture. "The horse
should be in good physical condition
before the beginning Of the breeding
season." he says. PLENTY of exercise
should be provided. If it is impossible
to work the horse, a large paddock
should be arranged where he may play
in all kinds of weather.
"A clean, roomy, light and well-ven-
tilated boxstall should be used for him.

TROUBLE WITH FARM HORSES

When influenza or distemper breaks
out among the farm horses, the loss
from lessened working efficiency is
sometimes heavy. The Nebraska col
lege of agriculture says that this dis
ease can very largely be prevented II
the horses are vaccinated with infiu-
enza antitoxin as soon as the first
case appears Two doses should be
given about six days apart. Ask your
veterinarian about 1t.
