DlSINFECT POULTRY
HOUSE FOR VERMIN
Sunshine Is Most Effective and
Economical Germicide That
Can Be Thought Of.

fBy N. l. HARRIS, Kansas State Agri-
cultural College.)
One is safe in using almost any Of
the .ommon coal-tar dips that are on
the market for ~disinfecting poultry
houses. The most inexpensive Of these
products are the common stock dips
which should be mixed at home. Most
of the poultry sprays on the market
are nothing more than the stock dips
ready for use.
The eggs of mites hatch in from
seven to ten days, so In order to get rid
Of vermin 1t Is necessary to follow the
two-week rule. Occasionally the en-
tire house should be sprayed. The
spray is made up to a strength of 3 per
cent or three parts coal tar dip to 81
parts Of water. Common Kerosene is
also effective in getting rid of lice and
mites. It is used in proportion of 81
parts kerosene to three parts coal-tar
preparation. The ordinary hand or
bucket spray pump is used. The most
effective and economical germicide
that can be used at any time of the
year is sunshine.

CATTLE DO NOT NEED HORNS
D%ehornins Should BE Universal Rule
Unless Animals Are Intended
for Show Purposes.

Horns were useful to cattle when
they had to fight for their existence,
but domestic cattle do not need them.
Like a man carrying a weapon, the
creature with horns is likely to be up-
pish and contentious. Hence. dehorn-
ing should be the universal rule, un-
less the cattle are intended for show
purposes. The time to operate is when
the calf is young, and the thing to use
Is caustic potash. Moisten the end OF
q stick of the caustic and rub it on
the button which has the intention
of becoming a horn. Clip off the hair
first. Care should be taken 20 to put
on so much of the caustic as to cause
1t to flow off the button upon the
skin. If used properly-and the OPP
GRAFTON requires nc great skiIl-no
horn will develop. Don't moisten the
potash with the tongue!

PINK EYE QUITE INFECTIOUS
Disease Travels Through Herd of Cat
tie Rapidly, Apparently FIRE.
~spective of Age.

BY w. P. sHULER, Department OF
Veterinary Medicine, Oklahoma A. and
M. College, Stillwater.1
The true cause of pink eye IN cattle
is unknown. Its righteousness cannot
be doubted. It travels through a herd
rapidly, apparently irrespective of the
age Of the animals. The disease runs
it's course In eight or twelve days n
may result in a satisfactory recovery
or the animal may be partially or to-
tally blind In one or both eyes as a
result of the attack. Apparently AMI
mails do not become immune to this
disease. It is manifest by q watery
appearance of the eye, which later be-
comes more or less prurient and the
eyelids become gummed together. This
attracts flies and is a very unsightiy
thing, as we'll as a torture to b af-
fected animal. The treatment should
be as follows:
Segregate the affected animals by
putting them If possible in a shady
pen. Keep an abundant supply OF
pure, cool drinking water before them.
and treat the eyes twice a day as fol-
lows: First wash off the lids and eye
lashes with warm water and CASTLE
oar then open the eye by catching
up the upper lid with the thumb and
first finger and rolling it back over the
second finger. BY means of a medicine
dropper or cotton swab, wash the eye
out with the following solution:
Pyoktanin ten grains, boric acid
four drains. lead acetate n dram,
water sufficient to make eight ounces,

Comparatively few farms are adapt
ed to strictly special purposes ana
fewer farmers are inclined to special
lied vocations. The income On the
farm is usually of larger value When
derived from several sources. Inc
maintenance of live stock is a neces-
sity In order to maintain fertility. me
production of live stock necess1tates
grasses for pastures and
which conserve and build up the SOIL
fertility. Crop rotation naturally fol-
lows.
The question arises as to what breed
of live stock is best adapted TO the
conditions and will insure the largest
returns Long experience has proved
the combination of beef and milk pro-
duction the most profitable and best
adapted to the varying conditions IN
all parts of the country. Here and
there a man devotes his entire atten-
tion and to beef making ex-
elusive dairying is engaged in by a
limited number; but the great mass
Of farmers are neither inclined to nor
situated so that they a engage to the
best advantage in these individual or
specialized lines.
The breed of cattle that meets the
needs Of this large aggregation of av-
erage farmers, that suits their cond1-
lions, that may be relied upon to yield
a profitable return, Is the breed that
experience has shown combine a prof
liable yield Of both beef and milk.
There are several breeds that combine
to a greater or less degree these char
acteristics. The Shorthorn is the
most widely disseminated and has
been bred In greater numbers for
many generations. The distinctive
characteristics of the breed are adapt
ed to the conditions described. When
not in milk the cows readily take on
flesh. and IL occasionally n does not
yield a liberal flow, she quickly con-
verts the feed consumed into beef and
is thus working toward the profit mark

gains and attain larger weights at a

OVERCOMING GARLIC IN MILK
No Practical Method for Use on Dairy
Farms-Keep Cows Off GarIicky
Pastures Is Best.

What is the best way to remove
the garlic taste In milk? This qnes-
ton has been asked.
Though large milk establishments
have mechanical processes for taking
odors out of milk and cream by
means of an air blast, there Is no
practical method for use on dairy
farms. An aerator would perhaps
be of some slight advantage, but pre-
yention is the best cure. Keeping the
cows off garlicky pastures several
hours before milking is the most eff
fective means of overcoming the trou-
bic.
One of the best ways to kill wild
garlic in pastures is to turn in sheep.
They like the tops. and in a few years
the garlic will disappear.

COLT REQUIRES BOTH

cent mature weight at u months,
The growing colt needs more food than
the milk given him by his mother.

growth than corn because it is a more

will do If the oats are not available.

cow IS DESERVING
OF ESSENTIAL REST
Without 1t Animal Cannot Lay Up
Requisite Supply of Fat for
New Lactation Period.

(By CARL e. JOHNSON. Idaho Expert.
ment Station.)
The accumulated experience OF pro
gressive dairymen proves that a COW
should have a rest between l%actation
periods. If MIXED continuously up to
the time Of ~freshening, the period into
which she freshens will be less profit
able than the preceding. Without rest
it is impossible for her to renew her
depleted strength OF to lay up a sup
ply of fat for the new ~lactation period,
o can she properly nourish the now
rapidly growing foetus.
It may seem like wasting feed to lay
fat on a cows body, but in reality 1t
Is not, for the fat will later appear as
fat in the milk. Moreover, when q COW
freshens she is usually more or less
feverish, and her digestion impaired
to a certain extent. To place her on
full feed at this time is to invite trou-
BILE. But if she is in good condition
the Withholding OF her feed win result
in no harm, inasmuch as her needs
will be taken care of by the fat stored
on the body. A thin COW has no such
reserve and one has to choose between
decreased production or take chances
on her powers to stand up under full
feed.
A COW should be given at least six
weeks rest. If intermittent and par
tial milking fails to dry her up, with
holding the grain ration and feeding
roughage such as timothy and straw
will be found helpful. Ten days or
two weeks should be allowed a COW to
reach full feed after freshening.

LIVE STOCK IS NECESSARY FOR FERTILITY
AERp oE p-uALpuRposE sHoRT4oRN COWS.

fhe Shorthorn has a docile tempera-
ment that has long been a factor In lis
popularity. Shorthorn blood has q
very decided potency and improves all
classes of stock upon which 1t may
be used.
The Live Stock Journal, London,
England, July 20 issue, states edito-
rally as follows:
SIN the matter of the adaptabihty
of breeds let it never be forgotten that
the great source of improved beef
blood the world over has been the
Shorthorn. The milk stock of New
England and the Longhofn of Texas
both received their first improvement
through tine heritage from Bates and
Booth and the Ceilings. In the blue
grass region the sol and daughters
of Durham found their best environ
ment, and the Shorthorn became then,
as it still remains, the backbone OF
the corn belt and the stay of the gen.
eral farmer. In the West and South
west the first warming up given the
scrub and Mexican cattle was at the
hands of this breed; the rise in q
beef industry in the Argentine is al
most inseparable from the expansion
of the Shorthorn interests, while from
20 to so per cent of the Austra1asian
| chilled beef is evolved from grass be-
| meath red, white and roar pelts. In
| such q II this British breed OF
generalized achievement encircles
the world. Its adaptability grants 1t
the pioneering quality; its all-around
| usefulness DEGREES its permanence.a
The Polled Durham is the hornless
! Shorthorn, and a favorite with many
| on account of it's hornless feature. The
red Polled breed is also a favorite in
some sections and combines the beef
and milk characteristics. But the
| Shorthorn has been the fayorite from
one end of the country to the other
because of the several qualities that
are combined and that are produced
from generation to generation, work
ing Improvement wherever applied.
It is this dual purpose characteristic
that suits the purposes of the great
mass of farmers who, for various rea-
sons, do not engage in specialized
farming. Mixed husbandry has long
been recognized as the foundation OF
our agricultural prosperity and the
Shorthorn has admirably and success
fully contributed in large measure to
the advancement OF diversified farm
ing.
