At the end OF the days canvass Of the

No change in the original figures was
found in the First Assembly district.
Both agreed that the Second district

USE or BACTERIAL VACCINE
Vaccination as Preventive for stranges
and Distcmper Being Extensively
Employed.

The vaccination of horses as & pre-
7entive for stranglcs or diStempcr is
being extensively employed. Ii has
been found that the cause Of the dis.
ease warrants the use of a bacterial
vaccine. This gives assistance to ma
ture's 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-
tions. In the latter case it is advisable
TO use bacterins that will combat the
secondary infections. These are called
mixed bacterins, and contain a vari-
ETY. of killed bacteria commonly en-
countered in such diseases.
In case distemper appears, all
healthy animals should be Immediately
injected with streptObacterins. 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. Bacterina
can be obtained from manufacturers
Of various biological products.

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

A good many horses come througs
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. 4
heavy coat of hair causes much sweat
ing, which is enervating to the hOrsa
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 a 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 clipper and Incl
dentally also make the horse more
comfortable.

treatment is continued for long time
the animal may become permanently
stunted.
Stunning an animal as the result Of
insufficient food may be only & tempo
rary condition. An animal does not
lose it's capacity to grow as the result
of stunting. T. B. Mumfor6, dean Of
the Missouri College of Agriculture,
cites feeding test at the Missouri ex-
pertinent station in which an animal
that had been stunted by poor feeding
to such an extent that it weighed only
200 pounds at twelve months of age,
gained S41 pounds during the second
year. Only Sc pounds of grain for
each pound of gain made were re-
quired on this steer stunted during the
first twelve months. A steer that had
been generously fed during the first
twelve months of his life gained only
500 pounds during the second twelve
months, and this gain was more e1pen-
sive than the gain made on the stunted
steer. The amount Of grain required
TO make q pound Of gain on the we'll
fed steer was 9.S pounds.
It is certain that stunting an animal
even for so long a period as twelve
months does not destroy it's capacity

there is no hole in the fence it makes
one. Of course if the fence was so
tight at first that the hog could not
get through, it won't bother you the
second and forty-ninth time.
Insufficient or irregular feeding, OF
failing to supply something which the
animals crave in the feed makes hogs
restless and ready to take the first
chance of exploring the outside world
in hopes of finding what they failed
to find in their trOughs.
1t saves time and patience to keep
them contented and at home.

GAINS MADE FEEDING LAMBS
Result of Test at South Dakota Station
to Determine Value of Alfalfa

The best gains ever secured at the
South Dakota experiment station in
feeding lambs was in an experiment
to determine the comparative value
of alfalfa and prairie hay with the
same kind Of a grain ration.
The grain ration consisted of d mix

creased until they were receiving tvs
and one-tenths pounds per head Of
grain daily, and what hay they would

The average daily gain per head for
the lot that received the alfalfa hay
was 81 of a pound, while with the lot
that received the prairie hay, the aver
age daily gain per head was .3S OF q

DISTRICT COURT CLERKS

Lincoln, Neb.. Dec. 24.-Bob Smith,
clerk of the district court for Douglas
county. is entitled to keep the $4,000 of
naturalization fees he has collected
during the 10 years since he tool
charge of the Office, under a decision
of the Nebraska supreme court. The
Judgment of the lower courts in his
favor is affirmed.
The decision applies generally to all
district u clerks of the state, where
they have retained the fees. In Ian
caster county this has not been done.
as Clerk j.. S. Baer did not consider
himself morally entitled to them and
always turned them into the. county
treasury. Some OF the clerks In other
counties who were interested in keep.
ing fees assisted Smith in his suit, by
employing ar attorney to appear ON
their behalf when 1t was finally argued
In supreme court.
In future, however, district court
clerks will not be allowed to retain
naturalization fees. The Legislature III

2430, revised statutes ~ Nebraska,
limiting each clerk to tts compensation
as fixed by law and fo%rt,idding hin u,

amount, no matter from what seDraa
