BlACkLEG IN CALVES
now MORE WRULENT
Vaccination Will Prevent Disease
in Most Cases, but Not ALL
Serum on Market.

(By GEORGE II. GLOVER. Colorado Ag-
ricultural College. Fort Collins, Colo.)
Blackleg in calves teen to have
become more virulent of late. Vac
cinatiOn will prevent the disease in
most cases but not all. Another diff
Guilty lies In the fact that after ad-
mlnistering the vaccine, calves are
not protected against the disease for
n period of about two weeks, and in
the meantime, if the herd is infected,
many of them may die. There is nov
Il blackleg serum on the market which
will give immediate protection and
combined with the virus will give
lasting immunity. The serum also has
curative value If given early in the
course of the disease.
The Kansas Agricultural college
makes the statement that "a highly
potent b%lackleg' serum can be pro-
duced from the horse" The claim is
also made that the filtered fluid taken
from the diseased tissue of the
shoulder has great %immunizing prop
critics
This marks a great advance in the
control of blackleg but does not in
the least detract from the importance
of absolutely destroying the carcass of
every animal that dies from blackleg
and adopting all other possible pre-
ventive measures.

used primarily as a cattle feed, but
now 1t Is used widely as a feed for
horses, swine, and sheep.
LESS use has been made of alfalfa
for sheep, however, than for any other
class Of live stock. Experience and
experiments have shown its wonderful
value as a sheep feed. It's value for
this purpose will be still greater In the
future than ut present.
"When alfalfa Is pastured great care
should be taken to prevent bloat. II
the alfalfa has become woody or Is
mixed with other grasses the danger
Is somewhat lessened. Care should be
taken at all times, however. Before
turning the sheep on alfalfa they
should be filed up on hay, fodder, or
other r~oughage, and turned out only
when the alfalfa Is free from moisture
of any kind.
"They should be allowed to pasture
only a short time the first day and the
length of time should be increased a
little from day to day until the sheep
are accustomed to the feed. Flock
masters have found that it Is never
safe to give sheep free access to al
falfa pasture.
alfalfa hay is adapted to the feed
ing Of sheep because it is a cheap
source of protein and also because it
supplies enough bulk so that sheep
may be fed to advantage On 1t alone.
"The amount of alfalfa fed will de-
pend upon the price and the amount
available. When 1t is cheap and plen-
tiful and other roughages are scarce,
alfalfa could compose the entire ration
for the flock. On the other hand, when
hay is scarce and high priced, the ra-
ton could be made up partly of straw,
fodder, and like %roughages. Compared
with other roughages alfalfa as a
sheep feed has the advantage, eSpe-
cially where grown in large amounts.
'In experimental feeding trials, av-
eraging 100 days each, alfalfa was COM
pared with timothy and prairie hay.
The lots fed alfalfa made greater gains
and required less feed per 100 pounds
than did the lots fed timothy and
prairie hay"

ALFALFA NEGLECTED
BY SHEEP BREEDERS
When Carefully Fed and Pas.
tured Hay Is One of Best
Roughages for Animals.

Alfalfa, when carefully fed and pas
tured, is one of the best roughages for
sheep, in the opinion of A. NJ. Pater-
son, instructor in animal husbandry in
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
"The rapid increase in the produc-
ton Of alfalfa in the United States
during recent years has resulted in
a more careful study of its possibilities
as a food for all classes of live stock"
said Mr.. Paterson. Formerly it was

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture.)
In proportion to the prices that II
brings, live stock is less expensive to
transport than feedstuffs. This fac
makes the production of live stock an
especially desirable Industry on those
irrigation projects which are remote
from the large consuming centers. Re-
cent experiments by the U. s. depart
ment of agriculture, the results of
which are published as Bulletin 4SS,
indicate that the most profitable meth
cd on such land of marketing bulky
products like hay and grain Is to feed
them to hogs. In addition to the in
creased prices obtained In this indirect
way for crops, the manure left upon
the farm enriches the soil.
In comparison with other forms Of
live stock industry, hog raising on irri-
gated land has attracted more of those
with a comparatively small amount Of
initial capital, and a farmer can get
well started in the business In a short
time.
The necessary buildings are COM
p%aratively cheap and 1t takes less feed
to produce a pound of pork than any
other kind Of meat raised on the farm.
The irrigation farmer who has grasped
the significance of these facts and
wishes to enter the business needs in
formation on the value of alfalfa as a
hog pasture, the value Of different
kinds and quantities of grain used to
supplement the alfalfa, and the prac-
ticability Of hogging down corn. 1t
was primarily to obtain data on these
points that the departments expert
ments We're conducted. The results
are given in detail in the bulletin al
ready mentioned.
From these experiments 1t appears
that under conditions similar to those
which prevail on the North Platte irri-
CATION project, where the work was
carried on, it is much more profitable
to let hogs pasture alfalfa than to cut
the fields and sell the hay and, Sec
Ondly, that alfalfa pasture can be
made to yield much more profitable re-
turns in pork when a two or three per
cent ration Of grain is fed the hogs as
a supplement. On the North Platte ir-

PLEA SENT ARMY
TO SAVE RUSSIA
PEOPLE ASKED TO RALLY BE.
HIND MINISTRY AND WARD
OFF IMPENDING COLLAPSE.
REFUSES PEACE TERMS
HOllWEG DECLINES TO BREAK
SILENCE DESPITE DEMANDS
FROM BOTH SIDES.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Petrograd, May lit became
known here that Gen. Alexis Brussil-
off, commandments of the Russian
armies on the northwestern front, and
Gen. Gurko, the commander on the
Russian western front, have asked to
be relieved OF their commands.
The Workmen's and Soldiers Coun
Gil issued another appeal to the army
to fight vigorously against the enemy,
declaring Germany and her imperial,
istic autocracy are seeking TO destroy
free Russia and reduce her people to
slavery. The appeal warned against
~fraternizing with enemy soldiers.
Berlin.-ln n OF the most vigorous
and plain-spoken speeches he has yet
made before the Reichstag since the
outbreak of the war, the German
chancellor bluntIy refused to enter
into a discussion of Germany's peace
aims as demanded in interpretations
by the Conservatives and Socialists.
DR.. von -Hollweg asserted
that these called for the governments
specific peace program, the announce
ment of which would at the present
time not only be premature, but which
1t would be difficult to formulate and
also of no practical service to the ma
ton in the present situation.
While approaching the passionate
desire of all classes to know the gov
ernment's views, the chancellor plain
ly declared that he would not permit
himself to be swayed by pressure from
any source, and that he was not under
the spell of any party or clique.
Berlin.-The Socialist leader, George
Ledebour, declared in the Reichstag
win a war of s%ubjugation, and ex-
pressed the conviction that a revolu-
ton must happen in Germany as it
has happened in Russia.
I'VE shall propose a constitutional
committee" he said, ito take prepare
tory steps in the direction of intro
ducing a Republic in Germany.
THE chancellor doubtless desires
~annexations both in the East and
West. With the exception of extrava-
CANT Missionaries nobody believes that
Germany can win a war Of subjuga-
ton. The Russian Socialists have
made an offer which opens up the
possibility of peace. This is what the
chancellor forgets.
1T is true that a separate peace
with Russia cannot be achieved, but
the Russian government al convert
the entente. and in this direction we
ought to assist it,"

Ancient Chinese Used Compass.

AS early as 1884 before Christ the
compass was known in a crude way
to the Chinese and it was used by them
for purposes of navigation as early as
the third century of the Christian era.
But the policy of the rulers and the
habits and character of the people on
spired to render the Chinese Indifferent
sailors, and the compass did not be-
come of the great importance to them
that 1t did to the ~seafaring nations Of
EUROPE.

LIME NEEDED FOR ALFALFA
Most Practical and Satisfactory Plan
Described to Determine Per-
picking Point.

If there Is some doubt as to the ne
cessity for lining for alfalfa the most
practical and satisfactory way to de-
termine this point is to SOW a small
field to alfalfa, literally lining a part
of it. and leaving a part unlimed. The
growth Of alfalfa in the w parts will
be a good test of the need for lime.

rigation project $500 a ton for alfalfa
hay in the stack is considered a good
price. This figure vas adopted by the
investigators In their experiments.
and they fixed the value of corn at
$1.O7 a hundredweight and of gains of
pork at Z cents a pound. The labor
cost Of caring for the hogs was as
sumed to be the same as that of har-
vesting the hay crop.
On this basis it was found that the
net return per acre ranged from $45.08
when the hogs had nothing but alfalfa
to $168.25 when they were fed in adj
ditiOn a 3 per cent ration of corn. The
rate of gain and the carrying capacity
of the pasture increased with the guam
tity of grain fed. AS a supplement 1t
was found that ground barley was ap-
proximately as efficient, pound for
pound, as shelled corn.
By allowing the hogs to Craze the
alfalfa 1t vas found that they re-
turned In pork an equivalent Of from
$S.16 to $3O.48 for each ton of hay
that would otherwise have been har-
vested from the alfalfa fields. The
lowest figure, $S.16, is considerably
higher than the market prices for al
falfa hay, and the highest figure,
$30.48, obtained when the hogs re-
ceived a 3 per cent ration of corn, is
obviously much more than the farmer
could hope to obtain from any other
method Of disposing of his alfalfa
crop.
The practice Of hogging down corn
proved to be much more profitable
when hogs had access to alfalfa pas
ture as well. In two years expert
ments the average gain without the
pasture, was placed at $52.OS per acre,
whereas with alfalfa pasture it rose
to $65.1O. Put In another way, 1t was
found that without supplementary feed
hogs paid $1.34 per hundredweight of
corn and $1.55 when they had alfalfa
pasture as well. With the use of tank
age instead Of alfalfa, the return was
$1.5O per hundredweight Of corn. 1t Is
evident, therefore, that the use Of
either alfalfa or tankage with corn re-
suits In more rapid and cheaper gains
than when the hogs are turned into
the corn and receive no other feed.
