Big Danger of Bloating
on Wet Glover Pastures

Wet clover, especially sweet clover,
caused Iowa farmers heavy losses last
season from bloated cattle. Fresh
grass eaten rapidly Is likely to ferment
in the large stomach or rumen and
cause bloat. Wet grass Is especially
dangerous. Death occurs in thirty min
utes to three or four hours and Is due
TO suffocation or rupture of the stom-
ach.
DR.. @. L. Rice, veterinary specialist
at Iowa State college, investigated
many Of these cases. He prefers pre-
vention to cure and makes the follow
ing suggestions:
"AvOid turning cattle on clover pas
lures while the grass Is wet from rain
or dew. Avoid turning cattle on fresh
grass when they are hungry. Give
them f1ll Of bluegrass or dry feed just
before turning them on clover. Driving
them about for some time after turning
them out will help, by keeping them
from eating too fast. Even when pas
lures are not wet, 1t is poor practice to
salt cattle heavily before turning them
out, for they will be in danger Of
drinking a large amount Of water az
ter taking a FIJI Of grass, which often
produces boating"

Chicks Should Have Good
Care During the Summer

Chicks raised to the point where
they forage for themselves are not
necessarily insured Of being future
profitable members Of the laying flock.
They must have some care during the
entire summer.
The Illinois Agricultural college has
prepared a number Of pointed sug.
gestions on chick raising. A few of
the ideas that apply to the larger
chickens are as follows:
A growing mash, fed throughout the
summer, balances the grain ration and
keeps the chicks growing without any
setbacks.
Early roosting keeps the chicks from
crowding into the corners.
Removing the cockerels at broiler
age gives the pullets more room to
grow and develop. Birds Of both sexes
will grow better when separated.
Heavy feeding before the pullets are
placed in winter quarters gets them in
shape for laying during the winter.
Careful culling before the pullets go
into winter quarters eliminates many
improbable birds.
Growing strong. healthy chicks re-
qulres the constant. careful attention
Of the farmer or his wife.

Remarkable Feat
of Engineering

An engineer in the West some time
ago encountered real problem In
making stream cross a stream. In
order to accomplish this unique feat
Of engineering, he built above the
main stream concrete bridge or
trough through which stream No. 2
might pass. In word the situation
was this: An irrlgating canal II feet
wide and feet deep ran through a
certain stretch Of country. Running
at right angles to this ditch, are a
number Of natural storm drains. 1t
was desired that these storm drains
should not empty into the main ditch
and to avoid this bridges were con-
structed. The water in the main ditch
Is used to irrlgate valuable orchard
land, while that from the various
washes goes direct to nearby river.
The bridge Is Is feet In width and
60 in length. It's walls are 8 inches
thick and AZ inches In height.

Ten Per Cent Gain for
Capons Is About Right

Extreme claims concerning the gains
made by capOns are not justified, &C
cording to G. L. Stevenson Of the South
Dakota Agricultural college. Careful
comparisons have been made at the ex-
pertinent station of that state which
show that q 10 per cent gain Is about
all that can be expected. Lighter
breeds such as leghorns did not gain at
al.
"Since chicks hatch late on the farm
and since there Is usually plenty Of
feed, caponizing will probably pay the
farmer" says Stevenson. The birds
should be caponized when developing
wattles and combs, or in the medium
weight breeds when they weigh two
pounds.
Two weeks before marketing, Steven
son advises that the capons be put in
close quarters and fed on fattening
rations, such as milk, cornmeal. bran,
tankage, etc. Any combination like
corn and milk Is very good. During
the time previous to these two weeks,
the capons can be fed on corn and can
be allowed to run with the pullets.
In dressing capons for market. only
the soft feathers need be removed.
The coarse feathers on the wings, tail,
etc., may be left on. The capon must
be dry picked, II a good price Is ex'
pected.
AS capon featherss especially white
ones, are in demand and will bring
from IS to 80 cents per pound, the
farmer can afford to keep them clean
and dry and the colors unmixed, &C
cording to Stevenson.
