Right Treatment for
Sunstroke in Horses
First Step Is to Get Animal
in Cool, Shady Spot.

Sunstroke, q disorder of the nervous
system caused by exposure to the di-
rect rays Of the, sun, is likely to cause
trouble in hot weather, says the vet
Urinary division of the Clemson Agri-
cultural college.
In severe cases, death is sudden, due
to paralysis of the nerve centers in the
brain controlling the respiration and
circulation. In the less severe cases
there may be marked excitement, the
animal becoming uncomfortable or
the opposite condition may be present,
the animal appearing sleepy and de-
pressed. a
AS the condition occurs in the open,
and usually while the animal is at hard
work, the first step is to get the aniInal
in a cool, shady spot out of doors.
If there is excitement, all precau-
tons should be taken to prevent the
animal injuring itself. Then cold
water, or better still, ice should be
applied to the head. If ice is not
available it is well to turn the garden
hose on the animals head. The cold
water tends to relieve the congested
condition Of the brain, and the colder
the better. The water should not be
applied all over the body, but only to
the head.
The animal should not be drenched,
for he is likely TO be unconscious and
the drench will, in that case, pass into
the lungs, where,it may set up fatal
Inflammation. ID
Following sunstroke the animal
should be rested for several days, and
brought back to hard work gradually.

Prune Tomatoes and Tie
to an Individual Stake

Tomatoes pruned and kept tied to an
individual stakeI should make earlier,
larger and more uniform fruit but not
as large yield probably as where
they are not pruned quite so closely.
This pruning and stalking will permit
of cultivation throughout the entire
growing season.
In tieing, the strings should be knot
ted tight to the stake and loose around
the stem of the plant. Any material
that will not cut, such as two-ply jute
or pieces of rags torn into strips, will
be suitable to tie the plants to the
stakes. Another advantage of this
kind Of training is that the fruit can
be readily harvested without tramp
ing the vines.

SAWDUST IN POISON
FOR GRASSHOPPERS

Sawdust can be substituted for
bran in the formula for poison grass
hopper bait, according to the tests
made by G. L. Fluke of the Wisconsin
College of Agriculture. This change
is effective when middlings are added
as coating to the prepared bait. The
formula which was used successfully
is as follows: Sawdust hardwood
preferred), $50 pounds; white arsenic,
/ Is pounds; salt, 1.25 pounds; amyI
acetate, 12.0 pounds: water (enough
70 moisten, about three or four quarts),
and middlings, so pounds.
The saWdust, white arsenic and
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1923-08-02

salt are mixed dry; the amyl acetate
is added to the water and then mixed
with the dry ingredients. After these
ingredients are well mixed, middlings
are added and the whole is stirred.
There is no particular advantage in
the use of this bait over that which
contains bran, except that the cost of
material is reduced about one-half.
Inasmuch as there are two different
feeding times for the various species
of hoppers, some Of them feeding dur
ing the morning hours and others dur
ing the afternoon, the time of appliea-
ton of the bait plays an important
part in it's success. The bait loses it's
effectiveness quite rapidly; therefore
it is necessary to apply it as near be-
fore the feeding hours as possible.

Proper Care and Feed
Will Help Draft Foals

With the draft horse market imprOy-
ing steadily, for the best quality ami
mails, anyway, some recent experiments
conducted by Professor Fuller at the
Wisconsin experiment station will be
Of interest and practical value
A lot Of seven pure bred draft foals
was given careful feeding for 1872 days
during the winter before last, on an
average daily ration Of ia pounds of
concentrates and 6.4 pounds of alfalfa
hay. The grain mixture consisted Of
90 pounds of crushed oats and 10
pounds of wheat bran. The foals
made an average daily gain of 10
pounds, and averaged 1,141.4 pounds
in weight at an average age Of BIT
days. The result Of this work checked
very closely with the trials Of previous
years, and 1t appears safe to conclude
that, by proper care and liberal feed
ing, good draft foals can easily be
made to weigh 1000 pounds at one
year of age.

county, the center of Wisconsin's po-
tato belt. For three years the work of
selection was continued until all but
two or three early and late varieties
were eliminated. Standardization wa
complete and it left in it's wake an in
creased production of from 30 to 100
bushels per acre.
Previous to 1910, Wisconsin had beer
looked upon only as a "cow state. =
But potatoes as a cash crop in con-
nection with dairying proved to be so
profitable that farmers introduced the
industry into their farming plan.
They learned that legumes and cows
build up the soils for immense yields
of potatoes.
The commercial potato grower con-
tinued to produce but he paid more at
tention to maintaining the quality. He
discovered that soil exhaustion lowers
the quality of the product and acted
accordingly.
Form Growers Association.
With the industry established and
booming, the need of an organization
was felt and the Wisconsin Potato
Growers association was formed. Con-
cerned primarily with production, the
association has paid little attention
to the marketing of commercial st
but has focused its attention to sup
plying good seed stock.
This was the first association in
America formed to foster this special

easily alarmed and disturbed by
strangers, so that ranches are often
located in remote places where the
animals are reasonably secure from in
truders Of all kinds. The bulletin has
diagrams and pictures showing differ
ent ways to lay out fox farm, and
how to construct various types Of
pens, dens, fences and other equip
ment. A watch-tower or outlook from
which the entire ranch can be OBJ
served without disturbing the foxes is
illustrated as an essential feature.

has been followed by other potato
growing states.

Out of this inspection service has
grown the now famous Wisconsin certi-
fed seed. To bear this name the
stock must be true to name and variety,
must be healthy and graded according
to quality. When inspection service
first started only 80 growers made use
of it. Today there are $40 farmers
producing certified seed.

Duck Is Distinguished
From Drake by Quacking

The duck is distinguished from the
drake both by appearance and sound.
The drake, when fully feathered has in
his tail feathers, two feathers on the
top which curl up. This is not an in
fallible test because sometimes tho
curled feathers may have been pulled
out. or lost out from Noting or other
cause. The curled feather shows on
e drake when he is four months old.
A duck quacks, but a drake does not.

japanese Millet Useful
as Feed for Live Stock

japanese millet may be used as a
green feed, cured for hay or made to
produce seed crop. When used as a
feed it has the advantage over other
millets, in never having been known to
cause kidney trouble in live stock; in
other words, like timothy, it is practi-
cally fool proof as feed. Many dairy
men have used it as soiling crop.

japanese Millet Suited
to Many Kinds of Soil

Japanese millet is not particular
about it's soil requirement. 1t thrives
we'll on extremes Of light and heavy
land. Neither does it require "baby-
ing" Where the crop is sown on corn
land, that has been washed out, if the
soil has not been seriously puddled, it
is not even necessary to disk the field
ahead Of the seeder Since the crop
makes a rank growth, light seeding is
recommended. AS a general recon-
mendation, not over a bushel of seed
20 the acre should be sown.

Pigs Require Less Salt
Than Other Farm Animals

Although pigs require less salt than
other farm animals, they should be
provided with it regularly: In trial
by Professor Evvard at the Iowa agri-
cultural experiment station, pigs al
lowed free access to salt made better
gains than those receiving no salt or
others getting allowances of 1-64, 1872,
or 1-16 ource per head daily. Salt may
be supplied in trough or a small self
feeder. If pigs have not had free ac-
cess to salt they might at first over
eat when allowed free access to it..
Brood sows should also be supplied
with salt which is best fed in suit

Prairie-Dog Eradication
Saves Arizona Farmers

For every dollar invested in the
Arizona campaign for prairie-dog
eradication in 1922, there was SIS
return in the value of farm products
saved from destruction by these pests,
according to reports to the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
The state and federal appropriation
for the campaign was $4,000. Farm
ers estimated the value of crops, fruit
trees, range grasses, or other products
saved as a result, at $4,000, over
fifteen times the amount put into the
work.

Dealers Sometimes Cause
of Poor Quality in Zoos

Dealers are sometimes at fault in
causing poor quality in eggs which
consumers receive, by holding over
quality eggs in warm place after
receiving them, and holding them for

not remain good under these condi-
tons.

two equal feeds, morning and evening.
The grain is fed on top Of the silage,
