Safe Squeeze Gates.

ton, known as the squeeze gates, af-
fords an excellent method of holding
cattle for treatment.
In a great many cases, especially
with young cattle, they are chased I'M
til they become heated and excited;
then are roped and thrown. This is
not only detrimental to the ailing ami
NAL but often puts them in very awk-
ward position 10 work upon.
With squeeze gates it is possible,
with the aid of feed, to coax the ami
NAL quietly into the stanchion and use
the gates if the case demands them.
Even with mich cows that are more
docile there is more or less danger, by
the sudden movements Of the COW, of
breaking an arm when treating the
genital organs.
For cases of abortion, where the
genital organs should be constantly
treated and freely dressed with anti
septic solutions, the squeeze gates are
worth many times their initial cost, for
when treating such cases the two
gates are swung around and by means
of racheted props the animal is held
so it cannot move sideways, thus allow
ing the attendant to work with the
greatest degree of satisfaction.

CARING FOR ANIMAL WOUNDS
Ohio Veterinary Surgeon Gives Con-
else Directions for Care and
Treatment Of Injuries.

Animals on the farm are continual
" being wounded. The first step to
take in the care of a wound is to
promptly explore the parts with a
view to ascertaining if there is for
eign body; then arrest the hemOr-
rhage to prevent waste of blood, writes
w. G. Fair, veterinary surgeon, in
Ohio Farmer. The latter can often be
done by twisting the blood vessel or
tying it, or by compression. The
wound should then be washed with an
antiseptic solution of some kind. 1t is
important that the wound have proper
drainage. 1t may be necessary to do a
little cutting before good drainage is
obtained. A wound that pockets" sell
dom heals quickly. Small wounds
about the head and neck should first
be cleaned, peroxide Of hydrogen APP
Piled (stitching material dipped in
same), then edges of wound brought
together and stitched as evenly as pos
sible. Paint edges of the wound with
tincture Of iodine or apply equal parts
oxide Of zinc and boric acid or any
other reliable commercial busting pow
der. Never stitch wound unless you
believe 1t necessary to hold tie it's
sues together.

SCARCITY or GARDEN SEEDS
Gardener Is Reminded of Importance
of Growing and Saving as Much
as He Will Require.

The scarcity and high price Of gar
den seeds, together with the unprece-
denied demand, made it impossible for
many growers to plant as much as they
wished. AS dealers were out of the
varieties ordered, substitutions were
common and much disappointment re-
suited. These facts impress upon every
gardener the wisdom of growing an0
saving as many of his own seeds as
possible. It requires only little effort
to do this and the gain Is much more
than represented by the cost of seeds.
1t is an easy matter at this time to
pick out a few Of the best radish and
lettuce plants and allow them to grow
and form seed. Two or three plants
will produce as much seed as one needs
to plant in the home garden. Pick out
the very best plants for this purpose.
In the same way you can save seed
of spinach, tomato, peppers, eggplant,
beans, peas and many other vege-
tables. Where more than one variety
of sweet corn, melons, squash or GU
cumbers are grown near together, the
seed will become mixed and of little
value to plant.

ATTENTION TO HOGS IN FALL
Animals Are Not as Resistant TO Dis
ease as Ia Spring--Water supply
Is Of Importance.
(Rv e. r. sPENcEA


Hogs are not as resistant to disease
in the fall as they are in the spring
when getting an abundance Of green
forage, and having access to a wide
range. It is necessary, therefore, to
give then more attention and better
care to offset seasonal conditions and
danger from new corn.
Do not feed in the same lot, or on
the same acre Of ground, day after
day. This communities the feeding
places, and also attracts crows pig
cons, and sparrows which may have
been feeding with cholera infected
herd Throw the feed out in a differ
emit spot each day, thus giving the
pigs a clean "plate" from which to-
eat.
The water supply is Of much Inn
portance to the health Of the hogs at
this time of year. Old mud wallows
are never good, but are not so bad II
the hogs can have pure water to
drink, but If forced to battle and drink
In the same "tub' serious trouble can
be expected at any time. See that
they have an abundance of pure water
to drink, situated near the wallow
holes or feeding places. Pure water
will aid materially in keeping the
herd cholera free.

RETAIN ALL BREEDING STOCK
Near-Siohted Policy Of Farmer to Let
Animals Go Simply Because
s.f Prices Are High.

Due to the scarcity of, and demand
for all kinds of meat, the price of live
stock is at present abnormally high.
The farmer naturally wants to sell all
he can at these figures, and it is not to
be wondered ut that he is sorely tempt
ed to sell his old or breeding stock as
we'll at these figures. 1t is true that
they will bring a good price, yet, un-
less others as good or better are on
hand to replace them, this procedure
is bad indeed.
Instead of selling off breeding stock,
the opposite plan should be followed
wherever possible-the increasing Of
breeders. The American live stock in
dustry must not only be maintained,
but it must be built up. XIII the ma
ture stock and the industry is crippled.
With the breeders killed, production is
cut off and, future farm profits from
these animals lostl
The breeding animals on the farm
are essential and must be considered
as part of the permanent Investment.
Save these to earn future profits, and
to preserve and insure our domestic
meat supply.

MAKING PROFIT FROM SWINE
Proper Care and Feed Are Necessary
Provide Comfortable Quarters
and Lots Of Sunshine.

In order to make a profit from pigs
it is necessary to give them the prop
err care and feed. They should be pro-
.vided with clean, comfortable quarters,
exercise, and plenty Of sunshine. The
SOW should BE- given special care at
narrowing time. She should be fed
lightly for a few days after farrow-
ing, and the amount Of feed gradual
ly increased as the young pigs de-
velop.
The ration for the SOW at this time
should be one which will produce a
heavy flow of milk. A good ration for
this purpose is one composed of corn,
shorts, bran, a small amount of tank
age, and a good quality Of alfalfa fed
fro,n rack. Bran may make up 10
per cent of the ration, as it'has ben
efcial effect on the digestive system
and tends to increase the milk pro-
duction.

PROFITS FROM FARM STOCK
Sheep and Swine Maintained at on.
tario College Returned Profit

A careful record of all cost accounts
Kept at the Ontario agrici ltural col
lege, Canada, showed that the sheep
and swine maintained on the expert

of II per cent, after paying all ex-
penses, interest, labor and housing.
The dairy herd of 80 head, after pay
ing for feed, bedding, service fees and
other expenses, had $2,7S7 left to pay
for labor, interest and use Of build
ings, on an investment of $4,000. The
cost of product g one hundred pOunds
of milk, as far as feed was concerned,
ranged froI1 56az cents to $1.25. These
figures are for the year 1916.

nimals Should Not Be Permitted to
Tramp Over It Until 1t Is Thor
ouGhly Established.

Alfalfa should never be pastured
ne first season, and in most cases it
Wlil be best to use it for hay-malzing
during the second season, in order
hat it may become thoroughly estab-
iished before animals are allowed to
ramp over 1t.
1t should never be pastred closely,
as this Injuries the crowns of the
plants. Horses and sheep are more
likely to do damage in this way than
are cattle or hogs. With cattle and
sheep, care must be exercised to avoid
blo9ting.
At first the animals should be turn
ed In for only short time each day,
and when the alfalfa is wet with dew
or rain there is still greater need of
care to avoid bloating. It is wise to
be. a little more careful than with
clever.

FERTILE SOIL FOR ALFALFA
.unless Manuring or FertiIizing Is Prae'
diced on Thin Land Very Low
Yields Will Result.

Alfalfa requires a rich soil. Unless
unanuring or fertilizing is practiced, at
tennis to grow it on thin land will re-
suit in failure or in very low yields.
isolated alfalfa plants are often seen
growing on thin land, even in sod, and
the inference is drawn that it is adapt
ed to such soil. When one attempts
"a seed it thickly on this same land,
however, little return is secured.
Various experiments pertaining to
alfalfa fertilization have been made by
the University of Missouri college of
agriculture, The results show that
lime. barnyard manure and phos-
nhates are the treatments which usu-
'alIv bring returns. Lime is not called
a fertilizer in the true sense of the
word. It Is a soil sweetener and al
falfa fails on soils which are very sour.
Rarnyard manure and phosphates are
4rheifertilfzing materials, however, and

making thin lands suitable for alfalfa,

warrant heavy applications of these. AS

Handy Dipping Vat.

SO that the operators may handle the
sheep conveniently At the time of
dipping it is desirable to have a chute
of permanent or temporary construc-
ton. This provides means of plac-
ing the sheep in the vat one at a
time. AT the ontgoing end the vat has
an angle of 40 degrees provided with
cleats, or notches, which give the
sheep foothold when leaving the
vat. A sloping platform, also pro-
vided with cleats, should be construct
ed at the end, from which the sheep
leave the vat; this allows the solution
to drain off the animals and return to
the vat. -

Thoroughly Is Good.

Canadian thistle and SOW thistle are
