COLT ATTENTION IN SUMMER
Young Animal Should Be Placed in
Dark Stall During Day-Encour-
age 1t to Eat Grain.

The colt should be left in cool,
dark stall during the day if the mare
is worked, asserts DR.. c. W. McCamp-
bell, associate professor Of animal hus-
bandry in the Kansas state agricul-
itural college.
For the first few weeks the mare
should be brought to the barn in the
middle Of the forenoon and the middle
of the afternoon and the colt allowed
to suckIe. The colt should be left
with the mare at night. Encourage IT
to eat as soon as possible preferably
crushed oats with bran. If oats are
not available a ration consisting OF
four parts of corn, three of bran, and
one of linseed meal by weight may be
substituted.
Let the colt have clover or alfalfa
hay as soon as he will eat 1t. See to
lit that he has access to clean, pure
water at all times. If the mare and
.foal are running in the pasture a creep
should be made where the colt can
have access to grain.

WATERING STOCK IN SUMMER
AS Springs and Streams Dry Up It Is
Highly Essential to Furnish
Abundant Water Supply.

Animals need more water during hot
weather than they do during the win
ter. There is greater loss of water
from their bodies in the processes OF
heat regulation, digestion, etc, conSe-
quently they drink more if they have
it. AS the natural sources, such as
streams and springs dry up in the sum-
mer, it is highly essential that partlcu-
lar attention be given to furnishing a
plentiful supply Of fresh water during
the heated period.
Fresh and cool water supplied IN
ample amounts will serve the very use
full purposes Of eliminating many of
the digestive disturbances often COM
planned Of by feeders. Unless the di-
gestive agencies are properly func-
itioned the best results can by no
means be realized. And since water,
which is one of the most abundant ele-
ments we have, serves such q useful
purpose it should be given serious con-
sideration particularly at this time of
the year, when the dry, hot weather
will soon come The man who has a
never-failing spring in his pasture is
indeed lucky, but with q good deep
we'll equipped with a wind pump or
better still a pump run by gasoline
engine one need have little worry over
the needs of his stock for water, so
long as he sees that their drinking
troughs are always full.

WORLD SHORTAGE OF STOCK
Speedy Ending of War Would Not
Change Present Basis of Prices
Tax Is Protection.

There is every reason to believe that
the present level of prices for live
stock will continue for some time. Be-
cause there is world shortage OF
stock, a speedy ending of the present
war should not change the basis OF
prices until a normal supply of stock
is raised The 10 per cent import
duty on stock, meats, hides and wool
will serve as protection against ship
ments from other countries where la
Dor is cheaper.
