BLIND STACGERS CAUSES
MUCH LOSS OF STOCK
Moidy Hay and Blighted Grasses Prob
able Causes-Proper Precautions
viii Prevent This Disease.

The disease OF horses and mules,
blind-staggers, so-called, is known oy
a number OF names, such as msnlnsl.
tbs, cerebro-spfnal meningitis, and Ia
ter, forage poisoning, seems to pc
quite prevalent at the present time
throughout Louisiana, as well as
some other of the states, and 1s caus-
ing considerable loss amongst these
animals.
Unfortunately it is very fatal
aIlment when once it attacks the ami
NAL, but on the other hand it Is one
that may be prevented if only owners
were a little more familiar with IT.
Those who have had to do with the
disease have observed that climatic
conditions seem to play an important
part in its occurrence, and 1t seems
most prevalent during seasons OF sun
shine and showers In the warm part
of the year. which are favorable to
the development OF vegetable life gen
orally, and to moids or fungi OF dff-
ferent kinds, which are also vegeta-
BILE In their nature.
Such climatic conditions as we have
spoken of seem. to have been preva-
lent locally, at least, if not generally,
throughout the state, and the animals
attacked are usually those that have
been grazing on good pastures. but
where the grasses have been attacked
by some Of the numerous fungi. Nu-
merous investigations have been
made to try to discover the actual
cause of this ailment, as 1t has been
thought possible that it might be Of
bacterial nature. However, nothing
absolutely definite has been arrived
at, so far, along this line OF work.
However, be this as it may, there
seems little question that the disease
is in some way associated with the
feeding OF moldy grain, especially dur
ing the winter season, and of blight
ed grasses during the summer, under
climatic conditions such as we have
alluded to, as complete change OF
feed will usually stop the disease
right away.
And while the trouble may be with
the blighted grasses at the present
time 1t may, later on, be with the
corn which has been grown during
the hot, shoWery weather, and fed
from the crib in moldy state.
Following this short explanation,
We would urgently warn horse and
mule owners to keep their animals
from grazing on long, luxuriant past
ures where there is any chance of
blight Or mold, and feed them on good,
cleean hay for the present.
A large percentage OF the ami
mails attacked die, and cures are
not to be depended upon. But
the disease may be prevented by
eliminating the cause, that Is, keeping
the animals away from the blightad
pastures, and, later cutting out the
moIdy corn when fkd from the CRIB.

RAISE FEED CROPS FIRST.
Then GET LIVESTOCK
Feed is Foundation Product-seef,
Butter and MIX the Finished
Articles.

There seems TO be little doubt that
many Of our farmers are investing
their money in high-priced cattle be.
fore making due preparation for them
In the matter of the necessary feed
crops. While, on the other hand, the
more tudicious method would seem to
be to consider, and arrange for, the
various crops suited TO their system
Of diversified farming, and then Sc
cure the requisite number OF cattle
to enable them to market those crops
to the best advantage.
Cattle are one of the adjuncts of
the diversified farm, as it is through
them the feed crops may be most
protitably marketed. And this applies
to the dairy farmer who markets his
crops in the form of milk, butter, etc,
which his cows produce, as 1t does to
the man who raises beef animals to
supply the market with that essential
commodity. In either case, however,
the feed is the foundation product, or
crude material, and for which the
farmer may obtain an increased
price when he disposes of 1t in the
form Of the finished articles men
toned.
II should be borne In mind, there
fore, that the cattle on the farm are
the machines which produce these
hfgher-priced finished products out or
the feed they consume. But, in order
to do this satisfactorily, which means
profltably, they must, necessarily,
first have the crude material. In the
form of feed, out OF which to manu-
facture them.
AS we said before, there are, per
haps, many CT our farmers who have
been Investing III hIgh-priced ca$fle
who have not yet given q thought to
the production OF feed crops on which
to properly sustain them; and, on the
other hand, there are others who have
an abundance OF feed crops that they
are selling off the farm in the raw
state, but which would be more profit
able to them IL they had a sufficient
number of cattle through which to
market them.
The possession of cattle without the
necessary feed production is very sim
liar to owning mill without the raw
material to manufacture; 1t is a one.
sided and Improbable proposition.
Then, again, bare pastures and the
better class Of cattle. no matter what
the breed or variety, do not go to.
gether; neither is it always profitable
to have to buy feed, unless it can be
economically obtained In exchange |
for, or through the disposal OF, some |
other commodity raised upon the
farm.
A large number Of good cattle, Of
both the dairy and beef breeds, are
being purchased by our farmers
the state, and as both the
1airy and beef-producing industries
are new to most of them, 1t would
be well that they consider a few
points We have raised, If they antici-
,ate making the most out of either,
n any event, the success of either
must depend upon the economic pro.
luetion OF feed crops, and, in conse.
luence, the latter should receive first

WEAVING TIME CRITICAL
IN YOUNG ANIMALS LIFE
Mothers MIX Natures Own Food;
Future Development Depends on
Proper Substitute.

There may be several factors com.
bining to prevent the faller growth
and development OF our native live
stock, especially during the growing
period Of their lives, but one of the
most important Is lack Of the proper
amount and kind OF feed after they
have been weaned. The mothers milk
is natures food for growth and de-
velopment OF the young creature, con-
tanning as it does a high percentage
OF the elements for that purpose, in
cluding ash, or mineral matter, for the
making of bone, so necessary for a.
large and strong framework. So long
as the young animal gets enough milk
from it's mother 1t usually grows and
develops normally. 1t is Just after
this period, however, that its growth
is checked, unless it receives some
food so balanced that will, in a man
ner, supply the nourishment which
the mothers milk contained, and
thereby maintain that growth and de-
velopment so much desired
This is not usually the case with
most OF our native animals, but IN
stead, after weaving time, they are
permitted to hunt for themselves.

such as we frequently see amongst
both our horse and cattle stock.
What is needed, therefore, to en-.
able them to attain greater size and
weight, is, after weaving, to supply
them with some concentrated feed. in
addition to grazing, which contains
the nourishment, TO some degree at
least, as was supplied to them In
their milk. This may seem some
what expensive proposition when ap-
piled to what we term our common
stock; but it is.a question whether it
would not pay in the end in their in
size, weight, and general de.
'elopment 1t is false economy to
sufficient nourishment from
even our common stock during their
period OF growth.
