SIC AREAS ARE REEoREsTEp
Scheme Carried Out successfully IN
France inpractlesbIe In MIsslsslppl
Valley, Say Engineers.

In connection with flood-control
agitation, more OF less attention is
being drawn to the subject Of re
forestation, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. While this plan, accord
ing to some engineers, is manifest
ly impracticable so far as its appli-
cation to large streams like the Mis-
sissippi OF Missouri rivers is con-
cerned, in some cases it undoubtedly
does have a certain value.
In the mountain regions of France
and Germany the scheme has been
employed, and an interesting ex-
ample is afforded near the headwa-
ters of the Ubaye river in the lower
Alps. The work was commenced in
1887 when the mountainsides were
entirely bare. Masonry barrages
we're constructed at frequently inter-
walls to catch silt and check serious
erosion. The mountains were then
retimbered. Today, instead of being
a bleak, barren waste as in former
times, this district is covered with
trees.
Since the land in this instance
has little agricultural value, the chief
objection to reforestation cannot be
raised. In all, according to the latest
figures obtainable, France has re-
timbered 629, ,4SS acres.
But to reduce the height of food
waters at Memphis, merely from the
stage reached in 1912 to chat of the
next highest record, the reforesta-
ton of $4,000 square miles Of the
upper valleys most fertile land
would be required, according to the
president of the Mississippi river
commission.

COLD RAINS INJURE HORSES
Exposure Of Young Animals to Severe
Weather Causes shrinkaae and
Retards Development.

The exposure Of young horses to
the short spells of severe weather
which occur frequently during the fall,
causes n shrinkage In live weight and
Is hindrance to rapid economical de-
velopment. Older horses seem to stand
this sort Of treatment with less loss.
IL Is doubtless true that animals be-
come accustomed to winter weather.
but frequent changes from fine fall
weather to bad storms retard gains In
colts without shelter.
-Four yearling Percheron FLIES with
an average weight Of 1,169 pounds on
pasture, with a ration Of six pounds of
corn and oats (one-half of each by
weight) daily shrunk an average of 81
pounds each during the spell Of severe
weather on October Is to 20 at the Uni
versity Of Missouri. Aged mares in
foal. lost only slightly during the same
period.
inexpensive sheds which will protect
colts from wind, rain, sleet and snow
viii prevent part Of such loss In
weight. Growing horses should not be
housed too closely and prevented from
taking plenty Of exercise. but they
should not be subjected to extremely
bad weather II they are expected to
make satisfactory growth.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian., 1917-12-01
Concerning ray Fever.

There is no such thing as a rose
cold. That affliction of early sum-
mer comes from various grasses, such
as johnson grass, nut grass, Bermu-
da grass, and oats, and some trees,
particularly red cedar and black wal
nut. These grasses and trees are
pollenated only by insects, and il is
the rule in hay fever science that the
disease is usually caused by the pollen
that goes by breeze rather than by
bees.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian., 1917-12-01
CARING FOR FEET OF SHEEP
Neglect often Brings Troubles Later
on-PractieaI Plan Outlined for
Needed Attention.

Neglect of the feet often brings
sheep troubles later on. Uncared-for
feet are favorable breeding grounds
for foot rot and crooked pasterns.
Try this plan: Turn the sheep out in
pasture while the grass is wet. This
will clean the feet and soften the
hoof. After a few hours pen the
sheep, take a hoof clipper or pruning
knife and remove the surplus hOof
or crooked portions. Trim so that the
horn is on a level with the sole Of the
foot. If pairing is necessary more on
one side th-= the other in order TO
balance the foot, do this. Aim to
have a level foot when the sheep
stands on the ground.
