and those that are selected to remain

orous, develop a heavier fleece and are
generally a source of profit and salts

Too frequently the flock master is
tempted to butcher the largest and
latest lambs for the extra value rep
resented in the immediate sale. This
is a grave mistake, and should never
be practiced if a good breeding flock
is to be maintained. The same care
full attention should be paid to selec-
ton as is used in the selection of dairy
cattle and laying hens. Wool at 80
cents and lambs touching $13.1O per
hundred on foot and wholesale should
result in more interest in sheep hus-
bandry, particularly where the labor
problem Is q serious one and the need
Of some kind Of live stock is felt.

DISINFECT POULTRY
HOUSE FOR VERMIN
Sunshine Is Most Effective and
Economical Germicide That
Can Be Thought Of.
(By N. I. HARRIS, Kansas State Agri-
cultural College)

(By N. I. HARRIS, Kansas State Agri-
cultural College)
One Is safe in using almost any of
the Common coal-tar dips that are on
the market for disinfecting poultry
houses. The most inexpensive of these
products are the common stock dips
which sh I'd be mixed at home. Most
of the p,.ltry sprays on the market
are nc hing 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 it 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 8 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. 1t Is used in proportion Of 81
parts kerosene to three parts coal-tal
preparation. The ordinary hand OF
bucket spray pump is used. The most
effective and economical germicidt
+ that can be used at any time of the
| year is sunshine.

In the steam schooner Saint Anna, I'M
der command of Lieutenant Brusiloff

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 q rest between lactatiOn
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 or to lay up sup
ply of fat fer the new lactatiOn period,
nor can she properly nourish the now
rapidly growing foetus.
1t may seem like wasting feed to lay
fat on a cows body, but in reality it
is not for the fat will later appear as
fat in the milk. Moreover, when COW
freshens she is usually more or less
feversh, 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 will 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 Of
two weeks should be allowed a COW tc
reach full feed after freshening.

COSTS 500 TO KEEP HORSE
Estimate Given by Farm Management
Department of the Nebraska o..
lege Of Agriculture.

The cost Of keeping a horse on the
farm for year in eastern Nebraska
is upward of 500, according to the
farm management department of the
college Of agriculture. 1t cost $50 for
feed, $3.50 for interest at 5 per cent
on valuation Of $3.50 for the horse,
$15 for 10 per cent depreciation on
the horse, $12 for IS hours care at 16
cents an hour, $3.50 for shelter and
enough more for expenses to make
it total over 500. In western Nebras-
ka, on account Of the lower cost of
feed, the cost of keeping horse Is
estimated to be somewhat less.

MARKING SYSTEM FOR SHEEP
Convenient Method of Apprehending
Ewes Which Have Neglected or
Abandoned Lambs.

The farmer who has had trouble on
account of ewes failing to give proper
attention to lambs, thus losing track
Of them altogether, will find that a
system Of marks with paint will en-
able the ewes and lambs to be got
together again at any subsequent day
in case the lamb be abandoned. Sim
ply give both eve and lambs a touch
of paint on the same part Of the body,
each eve and her lamb being marked
at a different point, says writer in
an exchange. We have marked as
many as hundred in this way and
have often had occasion to use the
system afterwards in experimenting
careless ewes.

COLT REQUIRES BOTH
attention AND FEED
Growing FoaI Needs More Food
Than Milk Given by Dam to
Make Mature WEIGHT.

(By PROF. M. G. THORNBURG, Depart
rlent Of Animal Husbandry, Iowa State
College.)
To make an 1,S00-pound horse at
maturity, the colt should weigh from
600 to 700 pounds at weaving time
and 1000 pounds at one year. To
make the usual standard of 60 per
cent mature weight at II months,
the growing colt needs more food than
the milk given him by his mother.
Some oats, fed in separate box so
his mother cannot get it, is better for
growth than corn because it is more
balanced feed. A little bran and corn
will do if the oats are not available.
Even if the colt is on pasture, he needs
little grain.
If the mare IS working, the colt
should not follow her, wearing him
self out in the hot sun. He should

Comparatively few farms are adapt
cd 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. The
maintenance of live stock is q neceS-
sity in order to maintain fertility. The
production Of live stock ncceSsitateS
grasses for pastures and meadows
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 man deyotes his entire atten-
ton and resources 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 can 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 cOndi-
tons, that may be relied upon to yield
a profitable return, is the breed that
experience has shown combine 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 if occasionally one does not
WELD a liberal flow, she quickly con
verts the feed consumed into beef and
is thus working toward the profit mark
through one channel or the other all
of the time. The calves, if the owner
desires to dispose Of them, are eagerly
sought for feeders and Butchers al
advanced prices. If they afe devel
oped on the farm they make liberia
gains and attain larger weights at {
given age than most other breeds. The
quality of flesh has always made thu
Shorthorn popular at the packing cen
tiers. Combined with these advantages

HERD OF DUAL-PURPoSE SHORTHoRN COWS

the Shorthorn has docile tempera-
ment that has long been a factor in its
popularity. Shorthorn blood has a
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:
in the matter Of the adaptability
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 Longhorn of Texas
both received their first Improvement
through the heritage from Bates and
Booth and the Ceilings. In the blue
grass region the sons 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 the
beef industry in the Argentine is al
most sinseparable from the expansion
of the Shorthorn interests, while from
| 20 to so per cent Of the AustralaSian
chilled beef is evolved from grass be-
meath red. white and roam pelts. In
such a manner this British breed of
generaliZed achievement enrircles
the world. Its adaptabiity grants it
the pioneering quality; its allaround
usefulness DEGREES its permanence.'
The Polled Durham is the hOrnless
Shorthorn, and a favorte with many
on account Of its 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 favorite 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.
1t 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.
