SCOURS IN CALVES
CAN BE Prevented
Animals Should Have Warm,
Clean and WeII-ventiIated
Pens-Feed Grain.

Thousands Of calves are lost each
year by what is known as sccurs, says
II. 81. Kildee, University farm, st.
Paul. On every farm measures should
be taken TO guard against this dis
ease. which results from q deranged
digestive system.
Calves should have warm, clean,
light and well-ventilated pens. Milk
should be fed On regular amounts, at
regular times. at q temperature Of
about 80 degree f., from scrupulously
clean pals. The foam which accum-
ulates on the milk while 1t is being
separated should never be fed.
The time to feed the grain ration is

that the calves will not suck each 9TH
er's ears and thus take air into the
stomach, which causes bloat and pro-
duces scours.
It Is well to have stanchions in one
side Of the pen 80 that the calves may
be confined for q short time after be-
ing fed milk.

RUSTY STRAW GOOD
FOR FARM ANIMALS
On General Principles It Is Not
Considered Advisable to
Feed Il to Females.

By n. n. REYNOLDS, Division of Vet
Urinary Science, University Farm, st.
Paul)
Is rusty straw safe or desirable
stock foodf The general teaching for
many years has been that blights.
rusts, smuts, ETC., are all harmful and
likely to produce abortions and other
troubles. Actual experience and some
research work, however, show that
this statement IL far too general.
There can be no question concern
ing the undesirability Of moldy hay,
straw. grain. or ensilage. on account
Of the well-known forage poisoning Of
horses and cattle, but quantities Of
corn smut have been fed In expert
mental work, without evident harm,
though this does not prove that under
other circumstances smut may not be
injurious. Stock seems sometimes &C
tually to prefer straw In the black
rust stage and eat 1t readily, yet the
same stock may appear to dislike
straw In the red-rust stage, possibly
because more dusty.
We think that the farmer would be
quite justified In the cautious feeding
Of rusty straw. On general principles
and In view Of some uncertainty, 1t
would be better not to use rusty straw
for female heavy with young. though
even in such q case it might do no
harm. There Is little positive informa-
ton available. The writer would
greatly appreciate reports Of actual
experience.

each will spend 81 a day while sick for
doctor and medicine. the total loss is
$500, 100000 a year. .-.
Commenting upon this the Philadel-
phia North American says: This loss
through sickness is equivalent to all
the work that could be done in nearly
two years by all the wage earners In
Philadelphia"
There is a further loss due to the
percentage of the sick workers who
die, and yet another loss to industry
by having each worker sick nine days
q year.
Nearly all this loss is pure waste. The
greater part Of 1t might be prevented.
The government found in its investiga-
tions that in some parts of this coun-
| try so per cent of factories are men,
ace to the health of those who work in
them. No care is taken to prevent
poisonous dusts or gases and fumes
from being breathed by workmen. San
itation is neglected, impure water Is
drunk. No provision is made for fresh
air. The chance to become sick is aided
by the neglect Of the workman in n any
cases. Often he lives in insaSlitary
houses, and neglects the ordinary rules
of health.
The New York Association for I'm
proving the Condition of the Poor in its
report covering last year asserts that
sickness is the greatest cause of pow
erty. Ninety-six per cent Of families
assisted by this association were des-
titute because of sickness or death OF
a wage Garner. The average annual
income of heads of families in the
leading industries in this country is so
small that when the head of the house,
hold becomes sick the tendency is to
try and get along without the expense
of doctors. Often this neglect pro-
L., I'D
period the workman loses the only
|, thing which enables him to earn any
thing-his health.
The remedy is universal health I'M
surance such as has been introduced
in European countries. Says the
health service bulletin:
The waste from disability and death
due to preventable disease is so tremen-
dous that estimates mean nothing to
the average mind, The suffering and
sorrow due to these causes should be
sufficient argument for a health insur-
ance law which will place adequate
medical relief within the reach Of all.
and provide for preventive measures
on a broad and comprehensive plan.
Such law would prove to be the great
est public health measure ever enacted.
The experience of Europe proves that
under compulsory health insurance the
employer at once begins to take pre-
cautions to protect the health Of his
workmen. Instead Of opposing housing
codes he demands their passage and en-
forcement. He is interested in pure
drinking water and pure air. He sees
to Ii that his workmen observe the or
binary rules of health. The result Is 4
great decrease Of sickness, and the
whole community Is benefited.
Health insurance Is being considered
by the states Of Massachusetts and
California and Is under discussion else
where in the country. IT Is bound TO
come Kansas City Times.

Big Crowd Expected

The North Dakota Agricultural coll
lege will not develop a track team for
competition in conference meets this
year. it has been authoritatively
stated. Interclass meets. as last year,
will fill the bill.
1t is proposed to add a course in
gymnasium training to the college
cirrculum next fall making the course
compulsory for freshmen. sophomores
and short course students. This, ath-
letic officials at the college say, will
mean a start in organized track and
field work, developing material for
winning teams.
Several years are usually required
to build up successful track and field
teams. and with the adoption Of the
proposed plan. the agricultural college
may be expected to be active in this
branch Of sports within the next two
or three years.
