Hand-Rearing of Orphan
Foals Is Difficult Job

With the best of good fortune there
are always a few orphan foals to be
cared for every year, and their feed
ing is a problem to those who have
never attempted it on artificial food
supplies.
Hand-rearing is not an easy task
and involves close attention to details.
Naturally cows milk is the common
substitute for the milk of the dam,
but it requires some slight modifica-
ton. If possible. choose "a cow that
has calved recently and one whose
milk is not rich in butterfat.
Dissolve about tablespoonful of
sugar-preferably white sugar-in a
little warm water To this add three
to five tablespoonfuls of lime water,
and then a sufficient quantity of cows
milk TO make a pint. Lime water not
only serves to dilute the milk, but 1t
also tends to correct digestive trou-
bles.
The amount to feed is about one
quarter to half a pint at each feeding
at first. The feeding periods should
be about one hour apart for the first
few days.

LIVE STOCK
FACTS
Fitting Stock for Show
Requires Careful Work

Fitting cattle for show means the
preparation of an animal to appear at
its best. With the meat-producing
animals, fattening is the most i'm
portant part of fitting, but the fat
must be firmly and evenly laid on
This holds true with breeding animals
as well as market stock. While the
breeding animal may never go directly
to the block its value depends on its
ultimate ability to produce meat stock.
1t cannot demonstrate this ability in
thin condition The judge has to
make his award on the animal as it
appears before him, not on what it
might be like if given fair chance.
The failures of new exhibitors are
mainly due TO poor fitting and show
ing. Most judges prefer to encourage
new exhibitors where possible, and
generally regret to turn down good
possibilities for lack of condition.
Getting an animal fat enough is
only part of the problem. It is a
greater problem to get it at its best at
just the right time. After show cattle
have reached their prime, their flesh
may get hard or too soft and blub-
berry. Sheep may be so highly fitted
that they are practically ruined for
breeding purposes. Ideal condition or
"bloom' is reached when the covering
of fat is evenly distributed over the
body and is springy, but firm and
smooth. Rolls or Jumps of fat that
appear on the ribs or around the tall
head are Objectionable. but are some
times hard to avoid Where animals
are to be carried in show condition
over fair season lasting five or six
months, they are started in compara-
lively light condition, both on account
Of the warm weather and the danger
Of OVERRIDING them later.

At that, tears came in Mrs. VOLTS

'There, there" he said, "there will

for we have each other. That means
everything, Mrs. Wolf"
"Oh yes, Mr.. Wolf, that means ev-

we have another den.

which we can see what is going on.
"And we will be happy, and there
will be other little wolves" Mrs Wolf
said
"But best of all, Mr.. Wolf, there is
my dear mate"
And then she laughed.
"How strangely our talk would
sound to people They do not know
that wolves are different at home from
when they see them.
"And after all l think it is better to
be nice in the home than outside it.
At any rate that is what you think, and
it is what l think, for we are two de-

are" said Mr.. Wolf as he patted Mrs
Wolf on the shoulder and looked at

at home, lingering around the table,
when an emergency call came from
Mrs. Enslow's. The baby had met
with an accident, painfully connected
with the hot stove.

Total Returns From Eve
Estimated at About $50

A sheep or lamb carcass has value
only once as such, and that is when
sold for slaughter. Speaking general
ly, eve, when bred for her first
lamb, is at the most valuable period
of her life, if the sheep and lamb
market does not fluctuate. If worth
$40 then, she is worth, on the average,
only about 81 when discarded after
having produced, say, five lambs Dur
ing her useful life of seven years she
produces seven fleeces of about eight
pounds each and worth 45 cents
pound at present prices. She there
fore grows wool to the value of $500.
On the average she will raise about
four lambs during her five breeding
years, and one Of these will be re-
tanned to replace the dam, three being
sold for slaughter or fattening at 81
each, or $21 for the lambs. The eve
will sell for about 81, making $50 re-
ceived from animal sales and $500
from wool sales, or a total of 5000.

Lack of Cleanliness Is
Cause of Many Diseases

Nearly all disorders or diseases of
calves, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, are caused either
directly or indirectly by lack of clean
liness. Filth, whether it is in feed,
pens, bedding or pals and utensils, is
dangerous to the health of the calf.
To be on the safe side use nothing
but clean milk (sweet or sour), scald
the pals or sterilize them with steam,
remove old feed from the boxes and
clean them daily. Filth and dirt are
the natural breeding places of many
bacteria that will cause disturbances
in the young animals stomach. Free
dom from filth usually means freedom
from disease.
