WORK AGAINST CALF SCOURS
On Every Farm Measures Should Be
Taken to Prevent This Disease
Many Animals Lost.

Thousands of calves are lost each
year by what is known as scours, says
H. II. Kildee, University of Minnesota.
On every farm measures should be
taken to guard against this disease,
which results from a deranged diges-
tive system.
Calves should have warm, clean,
light and well-ventilated pens. Milk
should be fed in regular amounts, at
regular times, at temperature OF
about so degrees Fahrenheit, from
scrupulously clean pals. The foam
which accumulates on the milk while
it is being separated should never be
fed. The time to feed the grain ration
is Immediately after the milk is fed, so
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. 1t is we'll to have stanch.
ions in one side of the pen so that the
calves may be confined for short
time after being fed milk.
Each day during the winter, when
the weather is favorable, the calves
need to be turned out into a sheltered
yard for exercise, which is necessary
for their proper growth and health.
It is also very important that the
calves, from a very early age, be Civ
en- all the pure, fresh water they care
to drink each day. The pens should
be disinfected frequently. Quicklime
is excellent to sprinkle on the floor
each time it is cleaned and frequent
spraying with some standard coal tar
dip solution will prove beneficial.

CAUSES OF TROUBLE
WITH MILK SUPPLY
Among Most Frequent Inquiries
Received by Veterinarians at
Many Stations.

Among the more frequent inquiries
received by the veterinary departments
Of the experiment stations are those
relating to troubles of one kind or
another with milk. These alterations
may exist in the milk when it is drawn
from the udder, or may develop when
the milk is allowed to stand for sew
eral hours. The alterations may be
recognized by the following modifica-
tions: In consistency, often observed
only when churning (the change of
consistency may be one of many kinds,
such as thin and >watery, lumpy or
granular, Shiny, difficult to churn,
etc.); in color, as blue, red, yellow;
in odor, and in taste.
The sources of trouble causing these
alterations may have existed in the
body or outside the body of the cow.
The causes for the alterations from
sources without the body are invaria-
bly, those of bacteria or other small
organisms. Many Of the causes from
within the body are likewise bacterial,
directly or indirectly. On the other
hand, milk may often be grossly con-
taminated with germs, even with those
which are seriously detrimental to
human health without producing
noticeable abnormal alterations in the
milk.
If the alterations in the milk are
observed at the time when it is drawn
the cause must have existed within
the COW. If such alterations are only
to be recognized after the milk has
stood for several hours, then the cause
Is more liable to be from con-
taminations of the milk after its
withdrawal.
Some Of the sources of trouble from
within the animals body are as fol-
lows: The feed, general disease or

Do You Neglect
Your Machinery? ?

The machinery Of the body needs to
be well oiled, kept in good condition
just as the automobile, steam engine or
bicycle. Why should the human neglect
his own machinery more than that Of
his horse or his engine? Yet most peo-
pie do neglect themselves. To clean
the system at least once week is to
practice preventive measures. You will
escape many ills and clear up the coat
ed tongue, the sallow complexion, the
dull headache, the lazy liver, If you will
take a pleasant laxative made up of
the May-apple, juice of the leaves of
aloes, root of jalap and called Pleasant
Pellets. You can obtain at almost any
drug store in this country these vege-
table pellets in vials for 25c-simply

SWELL PRODUCTION OF HERD
Only Practical Way to Make Improve
ment Is by Raising HeifeT Calves
From Best Cows.

When the milk is sold for market
milk, or to a cheese factory, or 0
milk condensery, the problem is how
to raise calves without the feed cost
ing more than the value of the animal
raised. At the same time it is most
serious mistake under these circum
stances to depend upon buying cows
rather than raising calves. The only
practical way to improve the produc
ton of the herd is by raising heifeI
calves from the best COWS.

the bending of the screen at the top
to fit closely around the trunk OF the
tree. The screen is then bent around
the tree and tho lap fastened at the
lower edge by means of nail. The
lower edge is sunk into the ground
about an inch and the soil packed
closely. The flaps made by the Sits
are then pinned over one another so
as to fit very closely around the tree
and finally the top edges are bound
close to the tree by piece of twine.
It is important to have the edges
against the tree and all the laps fit so
closely that no beetles can get into the
screening.
Before placing the cone around the
tree it would be well to examine the
tree and exterminate any larvae that
are discovered in the bark. BisulphiG

Injury to cottonwood and willow
shade trees by the cottonwood borer
can be prevented by placing a cone
Of wire screen, one foot high, about
the base of the tree and extending an
:nch into the ground. This screen
prevents the beetles from laying eggs
in the tree at or just below the ground
and thus prevents the development of
larvae which cut the bark and inter-
fere with sap flow and later tunnel
the wood and weaken the tree against
wind.
How Cone Is Made.
The cone is made of galvanized net
ting, with one-quarter to one-half-inch
mesh. The netting is cut into strips
slightly over one foot wide and long
enough to go completely around the
tree at such a distance from the bark
that the beetle cannot deposit eggs
through the screen. Sits four to six
