PAY ATTENTION TO
THE HORSES TEETH
Poor Economy to Feed Animal All
He Can Eat if He Cannot
MaStiCate His Food.

By H. S. EAKINS. Colorado Agricul-
tural College. Fort Collins, Colo)
There are many different kinds OF
collie in the horse and impaction collie
is one of the mast fatal. Impaction
collie is caused by improperly masti-
Gated food resulting from bad teeth
A horse is said to be as old as his
teeth.
The period of usefulness of horse
and in many cases of his life-may
be prolonged several years by proper
attention to his teeth. The food that
a horse eats is not cooked for him
and his grinders must be in almost
perfect condition, otherwise he be-
comes a hard keeper The teeth
should be given attention as often as
once year. 1t is poor economy to
feed horse all he will eat and still
have him in poor condition and ca.
pable of giving only mediocre serv-
ice in return.
Be merciful to your horse by not
neglecting his teeth. He is doing the
best he can for you.

SKIM MILK FAVORED
FOR THE DAIRY CALF
Skill and Patience Required in
Raising Heifers to Perpetu-
ate the Dairy Herd.

In order to perpetuate the dairy
herd it is necessary to raise the heifer
calves. This appears at first to be a
very simple matter, but herdsmen
have found that it demands both skill
and patience.
Vigor and thrift are needed in the
young animal, because upon it is to be
placed the responsibility Of producing
a large and economical flow of milk,
and of contributing to the reproduc-
ton of the herd
1t is entirely out Of the question to
raise the dairy calf on whole milk
alone, because of the cost, There are
other good ways in which the same
result can be gained. Various substi-
tutes for milk have met with more or
less success, but it is difficult to dis
pense with natures own food.
Skim milk for calves has many ad-
vantages. True, there are some dis
advantages, but these can be elimin-
ated by careful feeding. A herdsman
must know his calves.

that is to do these things? We might
enumerate them here:
First, easy keeping, something that
means much to the breeder, the grow
er and the feeder
Second, quick and early develop
ment. We have no time any more for
hog to put in a couple Of years
growing a bony framework ON which
to put the fat layers.
Third, prolific breeding qualities
The SOW that will drop litter of ten
pigs every time is worth three times
as much as the SOW that will farrow
five pigs about every other time. Of
course not every SOW is ten-pig ami
nal.
Fourth and fifth, we want animals
that are of quiet disposition and Wig
orously healthy. We don't want a
breed of hogs that will put on pound
Of flesh in the morning and run it Off
in the afternoon. We want animals
that will resist ordinary hog ailments,
and we would be greatly pleased if
someone would develop a breed Of
cholera-immune swine
OF course, there is no perfect breed
of swine, but there are numbers that
are very popular with practical hog
growers. Pick out any one of the
better breeds, stick to that one breed
and try to pay more attention to the
selection of individual sows and boars
Watch the SOW whose filters develop
rapidly. Get rid of the SOW whose lit
tiers grow slowly and whose pigs are
chicken killers. fence breakers and
persistent rooters. Pay particular at.
tention to the SOW whose filters are a
little larger than the average.
II you have any scrub hogs get rid
of them. The razorback is all right in
his native canebrnkes, but he has no
place on farm. All these things will
help in reducing the cost OF growing
hogs and will mean more money for
the grower.

Neq,ect of Buenos Aires.

Buenos Aires is the largest city in
the world south of the equator Only
three cities of the western hemisphere
Philadelphia, Chicago and New

Wouldn't you suppose that you
might send a money order through

suppose so, but you would suppose
wrong.

CARING FOR LITTLE CALVES
No Good Results Can Pc Secured From

Hogs are comparatively scarce de-
spite what the department of agricul.
ture has to say of their increase in
1914, as compared with 1913 They
may have increased, but the popula-
ton is increasing faster. They are
not as high in price as we think they
should be, and we think our reasons
are good. We still believe that the
middleman is exploiting both the pro-
Queer and the consumer, says an Iowa
writer in Farm Progress.
After all, however, the hog is the
big moneymaker in a vast number of
communities. We are taking a lower
price than we should, but we ought to
figure out some ways and means to
increase our profits by lettering our
breeding, our care and our feeding of
the hogs. If we can pull down the
cost of producing a hundred pounds
Of pork, we will be increasing our
profits by just that much. am abso-
lutely certain that nothing short Of a
genuine catastrophe is going to be
able to keep the price Of pork down
where it is for another year.
Have you considered how rapidly
the worlds whole supply Of reserve
foodstuffs is now being eaten, de-
stroyed and wasted? Possibly the
war lords did have great many mil
lion prepared rations put away when
tie war began. A million men will
eat 100000 rations daily, to say moth
ing of the waste. How can the prices
of all foodstuffs, meats in particular,
and pork along with them, be kept
down much longer? 1t is simply an
impossibility.
The man who makes good breeding
the very foundation of his hog grow
ing will make more money than the
man who does not. We are all trying
to grow quickly, developing animals
that will give up quicker returns and
therefore better profits. Just what
characteristics do we want in a hog

STALLION SHOULD BE
BROKEN TO HARNESS
Animal Should Be Worked Pro-
vided Driver Gives Him the
Necessary Attention.

Many farmers have written to the
Kansas State Agricultural college to
know if it is advisable to work stall
lions.
Yes, all stations should be worked;
that is, provided the man who works
them understands them and knows
how to give them the proper care"
is the answer given by DR.. c. w. Nc
Campbell, secretary Of the live stock
registry board and assistant profess
sor of animal husbandry in the col
lege.
"A stallion should be broken to har
ness in the winter before he is two
years DID," says Doctor McCampbell.
las few are broken at this age the
man who usually buys stations faces
the problem of breaking them after
the horses have reached maturity.
Several precautions must be OBJ
served when breaking a stallion. First,
the man must be a thorough horse
man, and second, he must remember
that while the horse is big he is usu-
ally soft and cannot stand a great
amount Of hard work until he becomes
accustomed to it.
In breaking stallion it should be
borne in mind that he should have
only a few hours light work every
day for several months, but after he
has once become accustomed to work,
he can, with proper care, do a full
days work out of breeding season,
and at least half a days work during
the breeding season."

Figures That Staoqer.

French soldier with a taste for
statistics has calculated the amount
of soil that has been moved in the
work of trenchmaking. There are
about five hundred miles of frst-line
trenches stretching from the North
sea to Switzerland. And there are
five or six lines of trenches upon each
side. A total Of ten lines or trenches
on the two sides would give a length
of about five thousand miles, and this
has involved a task Of eXcavating
twice as great as that of the Panama
canal. And it has all been done by
hand labor with military shovels, and
much of it has been done under fire
and by men who have to work while
lying on their chests!

Successful Brain Amputation.

The Paris Journal cites a surgical
miracle. Doctor Guepin expounded
before the Academy of Science the
case OF soldier of twenty-five years
of age, who had to undergo a partial
amputation OF the brain. The wounded
man has so far recovered that he will
not be discharged from the active
army. The doctor verified the fact
that the rapid removal of a part of the
cerebral matter has been productive
of no appreciate trouble. The oper-
alton depends for its success on speed
and boldness.

SILAGE REDUCES FEED COST
Kansas Station Conducts Test on Pro-
ducton of Butterfat During Sum-
mer and Winter.

An experiment conducted at the
Kansas experiment station shows that
silage reduces the cost of producing
butterfat from 80 cents to q cents.
The herds in this case were of suffi-
cient size to give reliable data and
eliminate the difference that might oc.
cur between two cows.
The lot which were fed silage gave
seyen pounds more milk in the sum-
mer and 95,5 more in winter per
month than the herd which were fed
dry feed. The butterfat was also in
creased by AS in summer and 46 in
winter. The difference in the cost Of
feed was even greater.
The silage-fed cows saved 60 centa
per month in the cost Of feed.
