tionate animals and are usually graft
fed to do the will of their master. If
possible, an animal should be broken
to mind without fear of punishment.
In breaking dogs to handle stock it is
a great advantage to have stock that
is used to being driven by dog, upon
which to break the puppy. Stock that
is not used to dog is often easily
frightened, or it may fight the dog. 1t
is an excellent plan to have an older
and well-broken dog to assist in the
training, as dogs are initiative. The
puppy quickly learns what is wanted
by association with the older dog. In
training dogs avoid shouting. 1t is as
easy to teach them to mind single
word or whistle, and much more sat
isfactory, and remember that much
more can be accomplished by kind
ness than harshness.

SCOURS IN YOUNG ANIMALS
Generally Result Of Overlooking Of
Use Of UncIean Utensls-Best
to Reduce Feed.

Scours in our animals is generally
the result of overlooking or feeding
from unclean troughs or buckets, or
from feeding food that is stale. Milk
fed to calves should either always be
sweet, or always be sour. If it is one
thing one time and the other the next,
1t will result in scours.
The buckets should be as carefully
scalded out as are the pals in which
the milking Is done.
Musty or bin-burned grain should not
be fed, particularly to young animals.
When the calf gets too much milk
or the young pig gets too much feed,
we have scours, possibly thumps in
the pig.
The best remedy is to reduce the
amount of feed, clean up the troughs
and buckets, and give a good dose Of
castor oil. Two ounces is dose for a
calf, and from teaspoonful to des-
sertspoonful to growing pig, accord
ing to it's size.

HOW TO AVOID BITTER MILK
Use Of Laxative Feeds Is Recommend
ed as Notwithstanding
Difficulties Relieved.

Both the quality and quantity Of a
herds milk production depend on the
physical fitness Of the cows as well
as on the nutrients in the feed. Bitter
milk and milk with a strong odor both
indicate that something in the cows
digestive system is out Of order. A
few doses of Epson salts are frequent
ly of benefit, but better method is
to choose the feed that disorders will
not occur.
Among dairy feeds that are in
clined to be constipating and a cause
Of bitter milk are corn fodder, corn
slower, timothy hay (and most hays ex-
cept those from leguminous crops like
clover and alfalfa), all straws, cotton

RATIoNS FOR ORPHAN COLTS
Bottle and Nipple Will Be Found
Cheapest and Most Satisfactory
Means of Giving Milk.

Raising orphan colts is a hard task
which requires time and patience.
Cows milk Is the usual substitute for
mares milk. Allowance must be made
for the fact that cows milk is lower
in per cent of protein, fat, and ash
than mares milk, while the latter is
lower in per cent Of water and milk
sugar.
At first bottle and nipple probably
will be found the cheapest and most
satisfactory means of inducing the colt
to take the milk. The milk should al
ways be warmed to body temperature
before feeding.
Add enough warm water to table
spoonful of sugar to dissolve it, then
add from three to five tablespoonful
Of lime water and enough milk to make
a pint. Feed one-fourth of this mix
ture every hour for few days, grad
ually lengthening the intervals and in
creasing the amount given at feed
as the colt grows older.
When the colt Is three or four weeks
old the sugar in the milk may be dis
continued. At three months the colt
should be put on a ration Of all the
sweet milk it will drink three times
a day.
If the colt scours cut down on the
amount of milk and give two to four
ounces of a mixture of two parts cas-
tor oil to one part sweet oil.

GIVE CALF PALS ATTENTION
During Warm Weather Especial At
tention Should Be Given to Uten.
siIs-Keep Them Clean.

The farmer who uses the Swlll pail
for feeding calves or who hangs the
pail on a post between feelings with
out washing it will soon be looking for
cure for calf scours. The dirty calf
pail is one of the chief causes Of
scours. according to L. w. Wing, Jr,
of the University Of Missouri College
of Agriculture. With the fly season
and warm weather at hand extra pre-
cautions must be taken in caring for
the calf pals. They should be washed
thoroughly after each feed and steri-
lized either with steam or hot water.
After the pals have been sterilized
they should be inverted in clean
protected place until time to use them
again.

WORKING HORSE IN SUMMER
LARGE Number of Animals Lost Each
Year Through Lack Of Care and
From Excessive Heat.

It no doubt would be one Of the
greatest surprises that we have had
for some time, were we to realize the
large number of horses that are lost
each year from the lack of care and
from the heat the time is here again
when we must watch our horses care
fully so that they may work safely
and to the best advantage for us dur
ing the long hot days of summer.
The horse that will stand the hot
weather well is the one that has been
we'll groomed and cared for, you must
feed your horses well if you want them
to work well and if you want to get
the most from your feed you must
keep them clean and comfortable. The
horse that is working hard during the
hot weather should be watered at least
four or five times each day, and every
hour or hour and half would be still
better.

RIGHT WAY TO CATCH SHEEP
Take Animal Either by Hind Leg or
Put Hand Under Jaw-NeVer
Grab 1t by lts Wool.

An experienced sheep breeder and
flock master says never catch sheep
by the wool. This causes the animal
unnecessary pain. But this is not all.
When you catch the sheep by the wool
you are likely to pull out the wool,
thus leaving a bruised place in the
flesh Of the animal. If the sheep Is to
be sold for mutton the flesh will show
this bruised condition.
The proper way to catch a sheep Is
to take it either by the hind leg just
above the gambrel point or by putting
the hand underneath the lower jaw
or neck. In using a crook it is impor-
tant that the sheep are not caught be-
low the gambrel joint, as injury to the
leg is liable to result from this.

FEED CALVES SKINNED MILK
Richer In Protein Than Whole Milk,
but Lower in Carbohydrates
Use Clean Vessels.

Skinned milk Is little richer in
protein than whole milk, but lower in
carbohydrates. Since most OF the fat
has been removed in the cream the
skinned milk will need carbohydrates
to make it a balanced ration for
calves.
A good plan is to replace portion
of the whole milk with SKINNED milk,
gradually increase the SKINNED milk
with some form of carbohydrates till
all of the whole milk is replaced by
skinned milk. Fine ground meal Is

HANDLING STOCK WITH DOGS

Upon farms where stock is kept,
well-broke collie dog is an unfailing
source of help and satisfaction, while
an unbroken, unframed dog is con-
tinual nuisance. In handling stock
with dog, 1t is important that the dog
be well trained. and that great care
be exercised while the animals are get

Raising the dairy calf on whole milk
alone is too expensive. There are q
number of supplements which may be
combined with whole milk in order to
lower the cost Of the ration. The
feeds most commonly used as whole
milk supplements are skim milk, home
mixed meals, commercial calf meals,
and hay and grain.

UTILIZE STRAW FOR CATTLE
Strict Economy Should Be Observed
and Valuable Use Made Of This
Neglected Product.

On many farms where strict econ
omy is observed valuable use Is made
of straw of all kinds. Frequently the
straw is chopped up and mixed with
other foods such as beets, mangles and
silage, so as to make the food more
palatable. Some farmers are so care
full to get the fullest value out Of straw
that after it has been used for bedding,
and later distributed over their fields,
it is raked up again and used for bed
ding, after lying on the ground until
it becomes clean.
