and saw that it was red. "Oh, my

red, away ran the Bear to rub the

GIVE HERD BULL GOOD CAR
Animal Entitled to and Needs as Muct
Attention as Milking Herd
Feed Some Grain.

Cost must not play the importan;
part in caring for the herd bull. whici.
needs as much attention as does the
milking herd. When six months old
the bull calf should be separated from
the heifer calves and fed ration that
will keep him growing rapidly. AT
this age from four to eight pounds OF
grain daily, depending on his size, is
the amount recommended by dairy spe-
cialists of the New Jersey State
Agricultural college.
Most dairymen prefer to feed bulls
the same grain ratiOn that is fed to
the other growing stock. But in ad-
dition, good leguminous roughage is
necessary, the amount depending on
the size of the animal. Mature bulls
will often consume Is pounds of hay
daily. Silage may he fed to the grow

MEDIUM STEERS PROFITABLE
De kalb County UlI) Farmer 10 Of
Opinion That Grade Stuff
Is Superior.

The prime feeder steer, so often
cited as the best beef-making machine,
Is sometimes less profitable animal,
according to De Kalb county Ul.)
cattle feeder, than the steer of poorer
quality. This man has had experience
with both kinds and regularly feeds
eight to ten carloads year.
The prime steer undoubtedly will
produce n somewhat better killer than
the poorer quality animal. but 1t is his
belief that the difference in price Is
less on the finished animals than 1t is
on the feeders. The kind of steers he
now buys 1t has been possible to pur-
chase as feeders at about / cent less
than the price of the best ones. When
finished and put on the market these
steers ordinarily have sold about half
cent lower than steers of the other
quality. He figures that his cost of
gain is about the same as that of the
others. Thus there is an advantage
Of one-half cent pound in feeding
this second-grade stuff instead of the
very best.

GUARD AGAINST HOG CHOLERA
II Herd Is Treated Immediately on
First Sign of Disease Loss
Will Be Small.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrculture.)
Watch for the first hog to show signs
of cholera, advises the United States
Department of Agriculture. II the
herd Is treated Immediately it Is gen
orally possible to save the herd with
but few losses. If the disease, how
ever, is allowed to reach all the ami
mails before the serum preventive treat
ment is applied heavy losses may be
expected. Hog-cholera serum is q
preventive and not cure for hog
cholera, the department points out.
Whenever hog dies Of an unknown
cause the owner should watch his herd
closely for at least week, and If any
more hogs in the herd begin to show
signs of sickness veterinarian should
be called Immediately, for the chances
are that hog cholera has reached the
herd and prompt action in applying the
serum treatment is the only thing that
will save the well animals A high
temperature, ranging from 105 de
grees F., to 1OS degrees F., in hog
that staggers when it walks, is a
pretty good indication of hog cholera.
Such hogs should be segregated and
not allowed to mingle with other hogs
or to wander about, for they will
spread the disease wherever they go,
sometimes in places where it is impOs-
sible to disinfect. Hogs that die on
the farm should he buried. or. prefer
