CLIPPING HORSES IN SPRING
Heavy Coat of Hair Causes Much
Sweating, Which Is Enervatina
to Work Animals.

A good many horses come through
the winter season with heavy. rough
coats that are not shed when spring
work begins ; the result is they are un-
comfortable when at heavy work. s.
heavy coat OF hair causes much sweat
ing, which is enervating 10 the horse
and consequently produces an unnec-
esSary drain upon his strength and
Vitality. Nor is this all. A horse that
sweats freely during the changing
weather Of spring is very apt to take
cold. Rough, shaggy coats should be
clipped in the spring before heavy
work begins.
There are excellent clippers on the
market for this purpose, and they can
be bought at very reasonable prices.
A good clipper viii pay for itself in q
single season on almost any farm, and
sometimes it Will do much more than
that If team is laid up with a bad
cold for a few days when work is
pressing the loss OF work may become
very expensive. This should be avoid
ed by the use OF a clipper and Incl
dentally also make the horse more
comfortable.

and every opportunity is given them

ing Of bundle corn on the Hubbard
farm, therefore, has been reduced to
as much of a Science as his methods
Of feeding. The time of blowing and
planting, the type of plant desired,
the method of cultivation, the time Of
harvesting, the methods of shocking,
and the best method of caring for the
bundle corn in the shock have been
studied.
Mr.. Hubbard believes that the av-
erage Minnesota farmer plants his
corn too early. Corn planted in late
May or early June on a well-prepared
and well-warmed seeded will grow
faster and mature sooner, he says,
than corn planted several weeks be-
fore on a cold and poorly prepared
seeded. At no time since he has
grown corn has he failed, he says, to
secure a matured crop in a To-day
period. In each instance this period

USE OF BACTERIAL VACCINE
Vaccination a. Preventive for stranaIes
and DistemPer Being Extensively
Employed.

The vaccination Of horses as a pre-
Vendve for strangles or distemper is
being extensively employed. 1t has
been found that the cause Of the dis
ease warrants the use of a bacterial
vaccine. This gives assistance TO na-
lures own efforts OF protection and
forms the logical means Of preventing
suangies as well as other diseases
caused by specific organisms.
The outcome OF the vaccination of
horses has in some instances been dis
appointing. 1t is possible that in such
cases the bacteria has deteriorated or
become Ineffective, or that the results
are complicated by secondary infec-
IONS In the latter case it is advisable
10 use bacterins that will combat the
secondary infections. These are called
mixed bacterins, and contain a varf-
ETY. OF killed bacteria commonly en-
countered in such diseases.
In case distemper appears. sau
healthy animals should be immediately
injected with streptobacterins. The
administration OF bacterial vaccines
should be made by a competent veter-
marian, as improper administration
may not provide proper protection and
so result in irregularities. Bacterins
can be obtained from manufacturers
on various biological products.

COLONEL ". 4. MORGAN DEAD
End Comes to Pioneer Edstor and
Former G. A. r. commander

Col William A Morgan, Kansas

FEEDING VALUE OF
SILAGE RATED HIGH
Much Depends on Stock to Which
1t Is Fed and Price They Bring
When Marketed.

The most accurate valuation for
silages is expressed in terms OF feeds
that have market value. Silage con-
sists Of corn, grain and corn slower.
The grain in the silo is worth the
same as though it had been put in a
crib, and the slower is worth rather
more than when dry cured. If the
crop ensiled would have yielded so
bushel TO the acre it would have made
about two tons of dry slower. The
grain at the present time would be
worth $40 and the stoYer SO. Such
a crop would make eight to ten tons
Of silage. This method Of calculation
gives a value OF s. to So per ton for
siIage.
In most calculations showing silage
to be the most economical feed, il is
given a value covering cost OF pro-
duction only, while the commercial
value is placed upon the feeds with
which it is compared. an entirely mis-
leading comparison. The production
cost of hay is usually much below its
market price. This is true even this
year OF low hay prices, on account Of
the enormous crop. But its feeding
value, measured, in terms Of other
feeds, is above its market value. Its
actual value to the man who feeds 1t
may be either above or below its mar
ket value, depending upon the stock
to which it is fed and the price they
bring when marketed. The feeding
game is more interesting than specU-
lating on a stock exchange. Tt takes

RAISING PIGEONS FOB PROFIT
Unless Houses Are Comfortably Warm
1t Is Not Wise to Grow Squads
in Cold Weather.

1t is not best to attempt to grow
squads during the colder months unless
your houses are warm enough to pre-
vent the freezing of the eggs, or the
young after being Matched.
When the young are Matched during
the cold months they are very likely to
become chilled when the parent bird
leaves them for food. Once they are
chilled through, they are quite likely
not to seek a food supply, and. chilled
through, they are lost product which
cannot be regained or replaced.

against these beautiful birds; while, as
matter of fact, it is far less work to

been allowed to accumulate two or

haps the most desirable for producing
winter eggs, should be Matched in
April. They then will have ample
time to mature before winter sets in.
If possible the pullets should have
free range during the summer to en-
able them to grow strong and hardy
frames. The parent stock must, of
course, be healthy and it is better if
they have a reputation as winter lay
