Horse Disease
Causes Alarm
Has Appeared On 10 Farms In South
eastern Part of state-Watch
Your Horses.
BY GEO. H. GLOVER
or Agricultural College

A disease recently appearing among
horses in southeastern Colorado Is
similar, il not identical. with the
Kansas Horse Plague" of several
years ago. Its exact nature has not
as yet been definitely determined. To
date the disease has appeared on
nineteen farms and is apparently
spreading.
The Kansas Horse Plague ofiginat-
ed in Kansas and spread over several
states and as far west as Granada,
Colo. 1t started early in August and
disappeared late in September. The
mortality was quite heavy. Many
horses were saved by appropriate
treatment and many were killed by
experimental "cures" in the hands of
laymen.
The cause of the disease was not
definitely determined. In many re-
spects it resembled the Borna disease
of Europe which was an infection.
The disease disappeared very sudden
ly, and before scientific investiga-
tions had been carried to definite
conclusions. 1t was quite generally
thought to be forage-poisonrng pro-
POSITION. The term forage poisoning
was convenient for classifying GER
+. tain groupe of diseases with char
acteristic symptoms, but was other
wise almost meaningless. Investiga-
tions carried on by Graham in Ken
lucky seemed to indicate that this
disease was analogous to meat pois-
oning in the human and caused by a
specific micro-organism and its toxins.
The seriousness of the present out
break is problematical. If 1t proves
to be the same disease we are at least
equipped to control it. and it is hoped
that the farmers will profit by their
previous experience and not fall for
every quack remedy that is offered.

CROP CONDITIONS

The past week was unusually wet
Moderate to heavy rains were gen
eral, and excessive rains occurred in
localities, reports Frederick II. Bran
denberg, district weather forecaster
At Denver the rainfall was more thar
three inches. Cool weather, for the
season, prevailed on the western
slope, while the temperature wa
about normal or above the normal il
eastern counties. The sunshine, how
ever, was ample, and vegetation made
a rapid growth. Corn, potatoes, beet
truck and ranges were greatly bene.
fitted by the rain, especially in un
irrigated districts, where moisture
was badly needed. Harvesting waa
delayed in the southwestern COUNTIES;
by wet weather, and some alfalfa was
damaged. In the greater part of the
state however, harvesting and thresh
ing continued with but little inter
ruption. Fruit made satisfactor,
development, and early apples ar,
on the market in localities. Melons
while somewhat backward, are grow
ing rapidly. Ranges have improved
and livestock continues in good con
dition.

PIG LIKES ENsILAGE

This may sound "fishy" but 1t is
true just the same, says r. w. Clark,
of the State Agricultural College.
The Ray brothers, near Rye, built
a pit silo and filed 1t with corn. A
small pig running at large frequent
ed the silo, much to its satisfaction.
AS the silage was fed out and the
distance to 1t increased, the pig learn
ed to Jump. Doing this every day
and not noticing that the distance
was gradually increasing, the pig
jumped from the top of the silo to
the silage, distance of 90 feet. The
pig was carried up the ladder every
day but became so heavy that it had
to be shut up.
Ray brothers are successful dairy
men and they would not do without
silage under any condition. The silo
has put them on their feet and they
are advocates of the pit silo If moth
ing better can be had.

FARM HOMES ABANDONED
BECAUSE OF INCONVENIENCE

"The main reason why so many
farm homes are abandoned is be-
cause of the lack of modern labor
saving Devices" says Miriam NJ.
Haynes, of the Colorado Agricultural
College.
"Women are the determining fac
tor-they rebel against the drudgery
and hardships of the average life on
the farm. The burdens of the farm
life fall too heavily upon the home
maker who too often is trying to
keep house in an unsanitary, incon
venient home with little, or no me-
chanical helps. If we are to build
permanent homes in tue country we
must make our homes more comfort
able and convenient, or in other
words more .1ivable." We must
bring the best of the home labor-sav-
ing equipment from town, install it
in our country homes. When we are
planning on some new farm equip
ment, which is very necessary to
have. stop and consiedr mother at
the same time. What does she have
to make her work easier?
Water in the farm home will
mean much to the well-being of the
entire family; it will relieve nine
tenths of the drudgery of the routine
of tn farm hom work.
When the average farm woman is
asked what she most wants, her re-
ply is nearly always Water in the
home, with a well equipped bathroom
and plenty of hot and cold water the
year around"
Let our aim be that we will in
stall some kind of water system i'm
the farm home before another winter
sets in

Meredith Lake
Proves Worth

Meredith Lakes benefit has been
demonstrated this season, and accord
ing to the report of Geo. E. Beaver,
engineer for the local water company,
a run of forty-two days has been
made from this lake SO far this sea-
son.
There was a time not so long ago
when Lake Meredith's benefit was
very questionable" said Mr.. Beaver.
"A good many believed that what
water that could he taken out of the
lake was not worth the effort and
cost But we have run 10000 acre
feet from Meredith this season. The
lake has surely proved its worth"

MILK SHOULD BE
KEPT AT 80 DEGREES

This is the time of year when con-
stant vigilance is necessary to safe
guard all foods and especially is this
true with milk. Dysentry and vari-
Gus other digestive disturbances are
most prevalent during the summer
months and the causative factor is
too often traceable to the milk
supply.
w. III. Feldman, of the Colorado
Agricultural College, says tempera-
.ture around so degrees F. is essen
tial If milk is to maintain its keep
ing qualities. This temperature, to-
gether with reasonable care in the
handling of the product from the
time 1t is drawn from the COW until
delivery. will insure the consumer
milk with a bacterial count of not
over one hundred thousand per cubic
centimeter, providing of course the
proper methods are observed in
cleaning the cans, bottles, and
milk comes in contact. Milk which
is not kept at about the above tenn
perature frequently shows a bacterial
content of a million or more per
cubic centimeter and Is often found
to be sour long before 1t normally
should be.
Among the methods In use to OBJ
tain low temperature in the handl-
ing of milk. ice of course is prefer
able. Since ice is not always obtain
able the cans or bottles can be sub
merged in cold well or spring water.
For cans, a covering of burlap or
old carpet if kept wet helps material
ly to keep the temperature down.
