DOG IS TERMED A NUISANCE AND MENACE

Qrom the United States DEPARTMENT Of
Agrtculturel
II has been almost universally con-
ceied that the dog Is q friend to man,
but Bulletin go qualities that state
meat somewhat. According to the pub
LEGATION the dog il a true friend to
man only when properly controlled and
cared for.
For Mt least half a century scien-
lists have been insisting that the dog
is responsible to quite an extent for
the spread Of many parasites and dis
eases to which stock and even man
are susceptible. 1t Is a matter Of COM
mon knowledge that dogs are subject
to rabies Or hydrophobia and that
they in turn may transmit 1t to other
animals and to persons. Some of the
other diseases and parasites they may
transmit are hydatid, which occurs
both in man and stock gid, principal
ly confined to sheep; cysticercus, or
measles. in sheep; tapeworm. round
worm. tongue worm, fleas, and ticks.

2. Don't require the mare heavy with
foal to do such work as requires short
turning, especially in plowed ground,
deep mud, or snow.
3. Don't require the mare heavy with
foal to travel on slippery roads unless
she is well shod.
4. Don't neglect to feed the brood
mare well. She must eat not only for
her own maintenance, but for the de-
velopment of her foal also.
8. Don't feed the brood mare hay
or straw that contains traces Of err
got. Such precaution may prevent
trouble that fails to yield to medicinal
treatment.

SELF-FEEDERS BEST
FOR FATTENING PIGS
Gains May Be Put on Animals
Rapidly and Economically,
Says Missouri Expert.

(By L. A. WEAVER, Missouri College Of
Agricultural
The Missouri agricultural expert
ment station has demonstrated the fact
that gains may be put on fattening hogs
rapidly and economically by the use
Of self-feeders.
Shoats weighing 121 pounds at the
beginning of a 6O-day feeding period
gained ITO pounds head daily, weigh
ing 22S.9 pounds at the close of the
feeding trial. During this time they
were supplied with corn, shorts, and
tankage, each of these feeds being
placed in a separate self-feeder and the
shoats allowed to eat as much of each
as they wished. When so fed they
seemed to balance their ration about
as well as could be done by hand feed
ing. The proportion in which the feeds
were eaten are: Corn, 2066 pounds !;
shorts, 1893 pounds; and tankage, 1
pound. The average daily feed con-
sumed per hog was s.1S5 pounds. The
amount of feed required for each
pound Of gain produced was ASS
pounds.
With corn worth 65 cents a bushel,
shorts $1.35 per hundred and tankage
$3.50 per. hundred it cost $5.6S to
produce 100 pounds Of pork.

tables. or they may get on the hands
from contaminated tools or from the
dogs skin. Once they get into the d.
gestive tract Of man or stock, a small
embryo matches and later develops into
the hydatid or bladder worm. In
stock this Is seldom fatal, because the
length of life of q farm animal is
comparatively short. but in man it
mny cause serious difficulty and may
necessitate one Of more operations.
In addition to ailments to which the
dog itself is subject, ii may also be
carrier Of diseases to which 1t is not
susceptible. This was fully demon
strated during the recent outbreak Of
foot-and-mouth disease. when 1t was
determined beyond a doubt that dogs
were responsible in some instances for
the spread Of the disease.
Nor are these the only counts
against the dog. Every section which
Is devoted wholly or in lpart to the
raising Of sheep will furnish more evil
dence in the case. The well-trained,
properly controlled dog Is valuable

ding is the best place to keep the
brood mare. II tie stall is used, it
must be roOmy.
Z. Don't bed the brood mares stall
excessively. Too much bedding may
cause her to struggle when trying to
get up.
8. Don't confine the brood mare in n
stall that offers place for her head
or legs to get caught, and cause her
to struggle.
8. Don't neglect to Hsinfect the foal-
ing stall thoroughly a few days before
the foal Is expected, using seven table
spOonfuls Of compound cresol solution
per gallon Of water. Neglect of this
may cost the foal's life.
10. Don't give the mare heavy with
foal a worm remedy unless advised by
the attending veterinarian.
IL. Don't give the mare heavy with
foal your favorite collie remedy. The
foal is too valuable to risk such treat
ment. II the mare has collie, it Is wise
economy to call a competent veterina-
rian.
IL. Don't neglect daily exercise as
a preventive of swollen hind legs that
often appear the last month or six
weeks before foaling.
13. Don't neglect giving her udder
attention. Daily exercise will do more
than medicine to reduce the swollen
and hardened condition that so often
makes its appearance a month or six
weeks before fOaling.
IA. Don't neglect painstaking care
and the exercise of common sense in
the management of the mare heavy
with foal.

COOKING FEEDS FOR
SWINE NOT FAVORED
Experiment Stations Have Found
Actual Loss in Practice, Says
Kansas Expert.

Cooking feed for swine generally is
not an advisable practice, points out
Ray Gatewood, instructor in animal
husbandry in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
"Much experimenting has been done
along this line," said Mr.. Gatewood,
land practically all experiment sta
tons have found an actual loss en-
countered by cooking feeds.
"With most feeds. cooking tends to
lower the digestibility, resulting in a
larger amount of feed being required
to produce given amount of
gain. This raises the expense of pro-
duction and cuts down the producers
profits.
::Some feeds used in certain locali-
ties-such as potatoes, field peas, and
roots-have their palatability improved
and their water content lowered
by cooking, which results in a
larger consumption. These, how
ever, are not common feeds in Kan
sas. Cooking requires special ap-
paratus and of course takes time and
labor. all adding to the expense of pro-
duction.
1T may be profitable to heat drink
ing water and water in which feeds
are mixed in cold weather, as
this will decrease the amount Of feed
required to maintain the body temper
ature."

OFFICIALS ATTITUDE.

Mr.. NewcOmb Carlton, president OF
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, in an address at dry banquet
given to some Of his men in Indianap-
oils. said:
II want to advise you against par
taking of intoxicating drinks. The
business world is looking for the re-
liable, sober worker. who has higher
things in mind than spending his
money for drink. We are coming to a
time in American history when the
drinking man will be unable to obtain
employment and believe that within
two years a measure providing for ma
tional prohibition will be passed by
congress-"
