DOGS VS.. CHILDREN.


From the Salisbury Tribune.
You would not like to acknowledge
that the people Of Maryland think
more Of their dogs than they do Of
their children. You would be shock
ed at such an imputation. Let US
consider the facts.
The maintenance Of the dogs in Mary
land costs more every year than is spent
on Maryland's school system This
may be surprise TO you. but it is a
TACT supported by the statistical re-
ports OF the state Department.
Add to the cost Of their upkeep the
money spent every year for Pasteur
treatment Of the victims OF supposed
rabid dogs; add TO this the loss to the
State because OF the imposslbility OF
raising sheep, and you have an addi-
tional loss that is stupendous in It's
proportions.
For all this expenditure what i3 re-
ceived2 Can anyone make a convinc-
ing argument that the dogs are Of any
real benefit?
With the advance OF civilization in
every part OF the world dogs are be-
coming less numerous. They are
part and parcel Of an age and condl-
tion that is past and in every part
Of the civilized world the restrictions
are becoming more rigid every year
Maryland hould get in line with other
| progressive states in the enactment Of
laws that Will regulate the dog nuis-
ance.
Doubtless 80 per cent. OF the dogs in
Maryland are owned by non-taxpayina
citizens and fully one-han OF them arc
supported largely by the neighbOrs OF
the people who harbor them and IRON
whom they forage for their living.
Right now, while the Legislature j,
in session a stringent dog law shoul,
be enacted which will enable the an
| thorities to collect a revenue from tn
owners OF the dogs or destroy sucl
as produce no revenue.

ANIMAL :
GIVE BROOD s6Ws GOOD CARE
Winter Will Aid in Production
of Strong Litters.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
If the sows that are to farrow in
March and April produce good strong,
vigorous litters and get their pigs
through successfully to weaving time
they must be properly cared for from
now until the day of narrowing. One
of the biggest hindrances to the sOws'
narrowing good strong, vigorous litters
is lack of exercise. During the cold
and snowy weather hogs like to lie
around the sleeping quarters and be
comfortable. That, however, is just
what they should not do all the time,
advise the specialists of the United
States department of agriculture.
The proper exercise for brood SOW
is that which she will take voluntarily
and not through force. They should
get their corn ration by hustling for it
in the stalk fields and not by getting it
fed around the sleeping quarters on
feeding floors or in troughs. Feed them
ear corn during the winter months and
scatter it out in the stalk fields. The
manure spreader is a good implement
to use in scattering this corn. Don't
be afraid it will be wasted, for it won't.
You can readily regulate the amount

casionally the appetite may be too raw
enous to be a good indication. The
general condition of the colt and the
droppingS should be observed daily.
Usually not over one pound Of grain
per 100 pounds of live weight should
be fed until the animal is two years
old. A liberal supply of salt and good
water and plenty of fresh air and exer-
else are essential for the proper de-
velopment of young horses. Idleness
succeeding exercise will cause consti-
patton. 1t is often said that q horse is
made during his first winter. Certainly
this is a critical time in the animals
life, and at no other age will proper
feed and attention do as much to make
of him good horse. If stunted during
the first winter he never will gain
proper size and shape.
During the second winter the feed
and management should be nearly the
same as for the first winter, except
that the quantity Of feed should be in
creased somewhat, the colt tied UP in
his stall and handled frequently. Edu-
cation by gentle and careful but firm
handling at this age will save later
much strenuous labor.

KEEP YOUNG HORSE GROWING
Extremes, to Allow Colts to Rough
1t in Winter.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricuiture.)
Colts that are kept growing make
the best horses. Some farmers allow
their young horses to trough it"
through the winter and, although this
is good practice when not carried to
extremes, if the feeder is not careful
it may give the colt a setback which
permanently retards it's development.
Feeds that will promote growth
should be supplied. Good, clean clover
hay is palatable and slightly laxative.
Timothy hay commonly is fed. Well
cured alfalfa hay free from dust is one
of the best roughages for growing, but
because of it's relatively high protein
content it generally is economical to
supplement it with other roughage such
as timothy, mixed hay, or corn fodder.
Besides lending variety to the ration
such q method of feeding alfalfa would
offset any likelihood of kidney or
bowel irregularities. Sheaf oats can
be used to good advantage to supple
ment other roughage. The animals
should not be allowed to gorge them
selves on dry feed. They should be
given only what they will clean up
readily, but at the same time enough
feed should be supplied. Oats, corn
and peas, preferably fed ground, are
suitable grains. Bran, oil meal or glu-
ten feed will add protein and lend vari-
ETY.. Cottonseed meal should not be
fed to foals. Appropriate grain ra-
tions for the first winter are: Two
parts corn, five parts oats, three parts
bran and one part oil meal; or four
parts oats, one part corn and one part
bran.
Silage should not be fed to foals to
any considerable extent. Sliced roots,
such as carrots and sugar beets, are
very palatable and have a cooling eff
feet on the digestive system. The
quantity of feed generally should be
regulated by the appetite, although oc-
