WARNING TO FARMERS
OF TENNESSEE
Young Animals Must Be Properly
Fed This Winter to Prevent
Black ScOurs.

/ (By NJ. Jacob, v. N. D., State Yeter-
inarian)
Practically every winter enormous
/ losses occur among cattle throughout
the Southern States from a disease
commonly spoken of as "black
scours," affecting the younger ami
mails from four to Is months old.
While the disease is primarily due to
internal parasites, the secondary
cause, that of improper feeding, has
an important bearing on its occur
renee. In almost levery instance
where we have had an opportunity
to investigate this disease it was
found that the affected cattle were
taken off pasture in the fall and were
being "rouphed" through the winter
on a ration that had little or no nutri-
tive value, consisting, as a rule, of
either poor hay. straw, corn stalks or
other non-nutritious substances.
1t has been demonstrated beyond a
doubt that YOU can not grow cattle
successfully bv such methods of win
ter feeding. In MANY instances we
have found such methods of feeding
further aggravated by insufficient
SHELTER, all of which leads to de-
bleted system, and the animal is then
unable to withstand the effect Of
heavy parasitic infestation. This
warning is therefore given to the
farmers of the State. urging better
system of feeding and care for
young cattle. In addition to rough
ness they should receive a liberal
amount of grain, enough at least to
maintain the animal in a thrifty,
growing condition, This will do
more toward preventing this trouble
than anything else that can be done.
This warning should be needed now
and not put off until after the cattle
show physical indications of the dis
ease. Preventative treatment by the
way Of good feeding and care will
give results, but if you expect to rely
on curative measures after the animal
actually becomes sick. you will be
sadly disappointed. The slogan of
our farmers should be: "Begin feed
ing young cattle now; continue it
through the winter and avoid losses
from this disease"
