USE OF BACTERIAL VACCINE
Vaccination as Preventive for StrangIes
and Distemper Being Extensively
Employed.

The vaccination Of horses as pre-
ventive 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 ma
lures own efforts of protection and
forms the logical means of preventing
strangles 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-
tons. In the latter case it Is advisable
to use bacterins that will combat the
secondary infections. These are called
mixed bacterins, and contain vari-
ETY. of killed bacteria commonly en-
cOuntered in such diseases.
In case distemper appears, all
healthy animals should be Immediately
injected with streptobacterlns. The
administration of bacterial vaccines
should be made by competent veter-
marian, as improper administration
may not provide proper protection and
SO result in Irregularities. Bacterins
can be obtained from manufacturers
of various biological products.

ARRANGE QUARTERS FOR RAM
His Rough Treatment of Ewes Is
Source of Great Loss to Farmer
Keep Him Separated.

Allowing the ram to stay with the
ewes through the winter and spring
until Landing or shearing time is not
always the best practice. It's good
for the ram in case the ewes are well
fed; Ec will get the lions share, occu-
by the space for three ewes at the
trough and rack, and grow fat and
abusive. He will choose to eat where
the ewes have peacefully lined them
selves up rather than take an open
place where feed is untouched, writes
II. A. Hayne in National Stockman and
Farmer. He stalks about and bunts the
ewes out of his way on all occasions.
His rough treatment, bunting MS
way and crowding up to feed racks IS
q source of abortiOns and premature
births.
Sheep values justify every care to
Increase numbers and values Of next
years lamb crop.
Better arrange to put his ramship
in other quarters than the eve fold.
That doesn't mean to isolate him IN
some small, dark, damp corner of the
barn basement or to exile him to
back lot without shelter or regular
feed.

BALANCED RATION FOR MILK
Cow Must Be Given Combination Nee
essary to Maintain Her Functions
and Produce Milk.

For the most profitable milk pro-
duction, the COW must be fed ball
anced ration at the cheapest price such
ration can be provided. BY balanced
ration is meant the combination OF
such proportion of nutrients and in
such quantities as the COW requires to
maintain her bodily functions and as
she can utilize in the production OF
milk. These nutrients are classified
as protein, carbohydrates, and fats.
Protein is one of the principal con-
stituents of milk; fats and carbohy-
drates perform much the same func-
tons, that is, produce energy ana
heat, and in the balancing Of a ration
are usually classed together. II the
COW Is given a ration containing an
excess of either element, the excess
is liable to be wasted; hence the eco
nomical Importance of balanced ra'
ton.

CLIPPING HORSES IN SPRING
Heavy Coat Of Hair Causes Much
Sweating, Which Is Enervatino
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 I'M
comfortable when at heavy work. A
heavy coat of hair causes much sweat
ing, which is enervating to 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 will pay for itself in
single season on almost any farm, and
sometimes it will do much more than
that. If team is laid up with bad
cold for few days when work is
pressing the loss of work may become
very expensive. This should be avoid
ed by the use of clipper and Incl
dentally also make the horse more
comfortable.

MANURE NEEDS FOR ORCHARD
Where Soil Was Originally Thin Dress.
ing May Be Required to Keep
Trees Growing.

After fruit trees bear few years,
If the soil was originally thin, dress
ing of barnyard manure may be need
ed to keep the trees in growing condi-
ton and to insure the formation of
fruit buds. 1t will be required that
the trees grow every year in or.ler
that they may form fruit buds. Since
growth Is necessary, nitrogen IN the
soil will be necessary also. Warm soil
may lack available nitrogen, hence the
need of barnyard manure or CONNER
cial nitrogen.
Old orchard soils may need organic
matter. This the barnyard manure
will also supply. There is no other
fertility that will stimulate growth on
trees better than barnyard manure,
for it affords both organic matter and
nitrogen.
In applying manure to large trees
do not make the mistake OF applying
the manure close to the tree, around
the trunk. The young roots where the
plant food is to be obtained for old
trees may be considerable distance
from the trunk of the tree. 1t Is
good practice to spread the manure
as far away from the trunk as the
branches extend, possibly farther. This
will provide that the manure Is above
many of the roots that are to absorb
plant food.
