beware OF GARGET IN EWES
Common Trouble at Lambing Time and
Should Be Given Immediate At.
tention-Some Causes.

(By T. c. STONE, Ohio State University.
College of Agriculture.)
Garget, or Inflammation Of the ewes
udder, is common trouble at lamb
ing time, and it should be given imme-
diate attention. The udders of heavy
milking ewes are likely to become in
famed and as a result the eve may
have milk fever. Overfeeding of grain,
colds, chills, and lying on wet floors
are some Of the causes of this condi.
ton. When discovered, the ewes I'D.
der should be bathed with hot water
by means of woolen cloths. After the
udder has been dried, it can be rubbed
with turpentine and lard, or with one
half ounce of lead acetate dissolved in
one quart Of water. The udder should
be kept wet with acetate for half
day. It should be MIXED out thor.
oughly each time the application is
made. It is also advisable to give the
eve good dose Of epson salts as soon
as the trouble is noticed.

Weighing and Mixing.

centrated feeds are the chief sources
of protein, and the mixture should be
made to fit the class in which the
roughage belongs.
A few simple rules for making up q
grain mixture are given briefly below: !:
1. Make up the mixture to fit the
rOughage available. With roughage
entirely of a low-protein class the
grain should contain approximately
from Is to % per cent of protein,
while with exclusively high protein
roughage the grain ration need con-
tain only 13 to 16 per cent.
2. Select grains that will furnish
the various constituents, especially
protein, at the least cost, using home
grown grains if possible.
3. Be sure that the mixture is light
and bulky.
4. The mixture should be pal
atable.
5. See that the grain has the
proper physiological effect upon the
COW.
All these suggestions should be
kept in mind in order to obtain the
best possible combination of grains.

MILLIONS LOST BY DISEASE
Annual Loss Caused by Contagious
Abortion Places Heavy Tax on
Breeders-No Cure Known.

Twenty million dollars, and a good
deal more, is the annual loss caused
by contagious abortion of cows. Tho
loss several years ago was placed at
$20OOO,00O, and since then the disease
has spread widely. Consequently II ID
safe to say that the loss now is great
deal larger. 1t is, in fact, a heavy
annual tax on the cattle man.
Contagious abortion is a germ disc
ease. No reliable cure is known. The
problem is, therefore, largely one Of
prevention, says Farmers Bulletin|

partment of agriculture. j;
Prevention and control, however,
are not lazy mans job. Eternal Wig,
ilance is the price Of success.

CONTROLLING LICE ON HOGS
Important Factor in Development Of
AnimaIs-crude Oil Gives Salts
factory Results. ,

Ransas State Agricultural College(
Control Of lice on hogs is an impor{
tant factor in their development. Crude
oil not only kills lice, but in addition
destroys the nits, softens the skin
and brightens the hair.
Many hog dips are on the Market
which are widely used, but the use
of crude Oil gives more satisfactory
results, in the opinion Of Ray Gate
wood, instructor in animal husbandry
in the Kansas State Agricultural COLI
lege. This oil may be applied by the
use of patent hog oilers, but as a rule
these are not satisfactory for they are
expensive and many do not apply the
oil in a satisfactory manner.
One Of the most satisfactory meth.
DDS of applying crude Oil is to drive
as many of the hogs as possible at
one time into an inclosure in which
there is a cement floor. Oil may them

Six dollars instead of twenty-four
dollars per thousand brick is the diff
ference in cost which has been effect
ed by city street commissioner in
New York state in tearing up an old
brick pavement and cleaning the
bricks by air tools, rather than by the
old pick-and-shovel method, according
to the Engineering Record. By the new
method old pavements can be torn up
at the rate Of four square feet in fif-
teen minutes, taking out one brick at a
time or prying up several at once, as
desired. Breakage is stated to be
much less than when the work is done
by hand. Previous to the development
Of this method it took ten men to tear
up and clean 1000 brick per day at a
cost of twenty-four dollars. In the
new system the cost is reduced to one
quarter Of that.-New York Journal Of

affrighted eyes greeted his vision.
Their owner awarded startled glance
at the badge on the lapel Of the vest
that Ronald wore and vanished among
the long reeds, splashing swift course
through the water. The badge was one
that came into requisition in the city
when Ronald did special reportorial
duty. t.
"Hold on! say"
Thus far Ronald got in his challenge,
starting precipitately after the refu-
gee, when a vivid cry rang out. 1t

1t was distinctly feminine. Ronald
turned, ever chivalric, and traced its
source. He breasted the tall willow
sprouts, to stare in amazement. Lying
where her slim, graceful form meshed
the willows beneath her, was young
girl of about eighteen. Her dress was
in tatters, her hair tangled and un-
kempt, but she was miracle of wild
beauty. She was holding the folds of
her ragged dress where they covered
her knee, and her face was picture OF

Ronald, and he lifted the frail, light
burden in his arms, strobe forward and

whistle rang out. Later Ronald knew
that it was signal.

ders:
Do not use sweat pads.
Keep collars clean Of dandruff and
dirt, especially if soreness develops.
Sponge the shoulders of work horses
with cold water at night after work.
If they are sweaty at noon, sponge
at noon also.
Care should be taken in fitting col
lars on work horses. Many collars are
too big or too loose. If the withers
are fat or especially full, the fitting Of
collars will need extra care.
