GRINDING FEED FOR HORSES
Improbable That It Pays Except Where
Animals Are at Hard Work or
Have Poor Teeth.

Answering the query as to whether
1t pays to grind oats or corn for horses,
and which would give best results,
Prof. b. lG. Carmichael of the Ohio ex-
pertinent station makes the following
reply:
ut is improbable that grinding
either corn or oats for horses will pay
excepting in cases where the horses
are at very hard work or have poor
teeth. Even in instances of this kind
it is not ut all certain that profit will
always result from this rather expen-
sive operation. Soaking corn that Is
exceedingly dry and hard Is advisable.
AS a general thing it seems that 1t Is
safe to regard ear corn and oats, both
Of good quality, approximately equal
in feeding value per pound for horses.
"If there Is tendency to swallow
the feed without thoroughly chewing,
it would be worth while to devise
method of feeding that would render
1t impossible for the feed to be eaten
so rapidly. Mixing a small amount of
bran or chaifed hay with the grain
might be of assistance, or th@ same
result might be accomplished by put
ting large pebbles in the feed box. 1t
Is well to determine whether the teeth
are in good condition, whenever there
Is evidence that the feed Is poorly
masticated.

LEAF BLISTER MITE, DAMAGE
Small Animal, Invisible to Eye, At
tacks Standard Varieties Of Pear
and Apple Trees.

Red or green bllsterllke spots ap.
bearing in the spring on the foliage
of the apple and pear are usually due
to the lcaf-blister mite. This Is not an
insect but small animal, invisible to
the unaided eye, which attacks stand
ard varieties of pear and apple trees
and often inficts serious damage.
Where trees are seriously infested the
premature fall of both fruit and leaves
may result. In such cases a special
application of lime-sulphur wash or
other spray may be necessary. Ordi-
narily, however, the regular orchard
spraying is sufficient to control the
mite. Badly infested branches of the
pear trees may be cut off and burned.
Care should be taken not to confuse
the work of the mite with the leaf
spot disease or the results of heavy
spraying.
The lcaf-blister mite passes the win
ter beneath the bud scales. There 1t
waits for the opening of the buds and
attacks the young leaves as soon as
they push out in the spring. The tiny
animals bore small holes from the I'M
dersde of the leaves into the interior,

FAT MaNKIMD'S GREAT ENEMY
Rodents determination Wou!d BE of
Inestmable Benefit to the Whole
Human Race.

The bubonic plague cf today is idcn-
teal with the black death Of the mid
die ages. Primarily disease of rO-
dents, caused by short dumb-bell
shaped microscopic vegetable, the pest
bacillus, it occurs in man in three
forms, the pn"umonic. which has
death rate of almost 100 per cent: the
scpticaemc, which is nearly as fatal,
and the Euhonic, III which even with
the most modcrn methods of treatment
the mortality is about so per cent. 1t
is a disease of commerce, spreading
around the globe in the body of the
Ship-hOrne rat. 1t is estimated that
every case Of human plague costs the
municipality in which it occurs at
least $500. This does not take into
account the enormous loss due to dis
aStrous quarantincs and the CONNER
cial paralysis which the fear of the
disease 50 frequently produces.
The disease is now treated with a
serum discovered through the genius
of Yersn. This is used in much the
same way as is diphtheria anti-toxin.
Plague is transferred from the sick
rodent to the well man by feas. The
sick rat has enormous numbers of
plague tacilli in its blood. The blood
is taken by the fpa, which, leaving the
sick rat, seeks refuge and Sustenance
on the body of human being, to
whom it transfers the infection.
Since plague is disease of rodents
and since ii is carried from sick ro-
dents to we'll men by rodent fleas, safe
ty from the disease lies in the exclu-
sion of rodrnts, not only exclusion
from the hahitati&n of man hut also
from the ports and cities Of the world.
Those who dwell in rat-proof surround.
ings take 70 plague. Not only should
man dwell in rat-proof surroundings,
but he should also live in rat-free sur.
roundings. The day is past when the
rodent served useful purpose as the
unpaid city scavenger. Rats will not
come where there is no food for them.
Municipal cleanliness may be regard
ed as a partial insurance against
plague. The prayer that no plague
come nigh cur dwelling is best an
swered, however, by rat-proOting the
habitati5ns IF man. Modern sanitary
science has evolved simple and ett-
cicnt weapon against the pestilence
which walketh in darkness and strik-
eth at MONDAY, and the United States
public health service has put this
knowledge int practical operation and
thus speedily eradicated plague,
wherever it has appeared in the Unit
ed States.

WIND.PROOF STOCK SHELTER
1t Should Be Made Strong Enough &c
Withstand Any Wind-Set End
Posts in Cement.

In constructing stock shelter In
I'M open field particular care should
be taken to make 1t substantial
enough to withstand any wind short
of a tornado. A little foresight in
this regard may save the loss Of valu-
able animals at some later time. To
this end the posts should be firmly
set, preferably in cement, and the
upper framework should be snugly
bolted or spiked together.
If the three inclosed sides are COM
posed of loose boards set on end ut
an angle of As degrees and banked in
place with straw, about the worst
heavy wind could accomplish would
be to elbow out" the sides. Little
damage to stock would be likely to
occur in such an event.
A shelter of this kind, with its top
as well us its sides heavily straw-cov-
cred will for all practical purposes be
as permanent as though its sides had
been nailed firmly In place. With its
open side toward the south it will
prove weather-proof warm and quite
adaptable to creature comfort.

KEEP COLTS GROWING
important Consideration in Pro-
ducing Horses ProfitahIy.
Good Horsenan Endeavors to Reduce
Worrying and Fretting Of Young
Animal to Minimum-Grain
Must Be Supplied.

(By H. H. MCARTY, Indiana Expert
ment Station)
To keep the cold growing without
interruption during weaving time and
afterward Is a most important consid-
Grafton in producing horses profitably.
A good horseman aims to replace the
milk that the colt has been accustomed
to secure from its mother. He tries
also to reduce the worrying and fret
ting of the colt to a minimum. 10
wean colt appears to be simple
matter. 1t is simple as many do 1t;
vet the very low degree of success
that is shown on many farms by their
unthrifty colts Is evidence that there
Is something wrong or that there is
something lacking Often in few
weeks during weaving time the young
ster changes from the growing, sleek,
milk-fat colt to stitf-haired and I'M
thrifty, stunted individual. The colt,
If properly cared for, need lose but
little of his flesh, bloom and spirit.
Feed Some Grain.
Grain must be used as the milk Is
taken away. 1t is necessary that the
colt have been taught to eat grain be-
fore weaving Is attempted. Oats have
always been preferred by horsemen
for young colts. They are undoubted-
~ superior to any other single grain.
The colt likes mixture or u variety
of grains and will thrive best on such
a ration. He relishes corn, and it may
well be fed as part of the grain ra-
ton. 1t may be said that corn con-
tains rather high percentage Of fat.
True, 1t does, and so does milk, which
Is as nearly ideal food as nature can
make. Corn should not be fed alone,
nor In too great quantities. Bran Is
splendid feed and contains material
for bone and muscle. A mixture of
oats 60 per cent, corn 80 per cent,
and bran 10 per cent makes ration
that will enable any colt to grow rap
idly. A handful Of Oilmeal may be
profitably added. Then he will be
more likely to eat enough to almost
make up for the lack of milk.
Provide Hay.
Hay should be provided in plenty.
Doubtless alfalfa or clover Is the most
desirable for young growing colts.
Both grain and hay should be of the
very best quality. If it is at all pos
sible to furnish succulent grass for
the colt it should be done. This is a
big factor in preventing any check in
the growth of the youngster.

Carino for Watch at Niuht,

The care of the watch at night or
when it is not in use is an important
item, concerning which the bureau Of
standards states: "At night, or when
the watch Is not in use, it Is desirable
to leave the watch in the same posi-.
ton as during the day, and preferably
In some place where 1t will not be
subject to any great temperature
change. If it is desirable to leave the
watch in a horizontal position during
the night for the sake of compensat.
ing any considerable gaining or losing
of the watch in the pendant-up posi-.
ton, to avoid marked temperature
changes should be observed, and the
regularity with which such change
of position is carried out may be as
important as regularity of winding.

HOW TO PRUNE BLACKBERRIES
Better to Leave Some Varieties Until
Blossoms Bud-Set Eidorado and
Mnnewaska In Fall.

In the cultivation of blackberries the
preference is for low pruning, but
some varieties show lack of uniformity
in their manner of bearing fruit. At
times most of it will be found close to
the main stalk, and at other times it
will be well out on the laterals. 1t is
better to leave such varieties until the
blossom buds show before pruning in
order to gauge the amount Of fruit
which should be produced.
Wilson's Early sets fruit buds thick
ly near the base of the laterals, and
should, consequently, be pruned close
ly on the side growth. Early harvest
requires longer pruning of the later
ais. Eldorado and Minnewaska are
good kinds. Plant in fall.
