Watch Work Horse
During Hot Wave
When Animal Goes "Off

Allowed Rest.

Hundreds of Illinois farm work
horses which died during the torrid
weather of last summer probably
were being worked when they were
of feed. This is a dangerous and
costly practice which farmers might
well guard against this season. At
present prices it takes a good many
bushels of oats or corn to replace a
good, young sound work horse.
Management and heredity are
both factors in producing good, hot
weather work horses. The inherit
ance of sound wind, high quality, a
vigorous appetite and an even,
cheerful temperament are all high
ly important.
For best results horses should be
brought to both their work and
full rations gradually. The old pre-
caution about making haste slowly
applies here. Hot weather rations
should be ample and regular in
their supply of energy and should
be easily digested. Rations which
cause a dry dung are not at all
suitable. Oats, mixed hay and pas
ture after complaining time will
fill the bill.
During extremely hot weather a
barrel Of water and a pail should
be taken to the field for watering
the horses. Horses should be
worked shorter days and stopped
more often for rest in torrid spells
such as visited the corn belt last
summer. Work can be started at
daylight and stopped before noon.
When a horse refuses his feed, he
should be kept in the barn or in a
shady pasture until his appetite
comes back. Otherwise he is like
ly to topple over dead in the corn
field.
There is not much danger as long
as horses are sweating freely. The
time to be alarmed is when they
dry up and start painting. They are
still further gone when they reel
at the walk and stand with legs
braced and dropping ears. When
the first signs OF overheating oc-
cur, the horse should be gotten into
the shade. Cold water applied TO
the head. spine and legs will reduce
temperature. Serious cases require
the veterinarian. Prevention Is
cheaper and more satisfactory than
a cure. a horse once overheated,
even though he apparently makes
good recovery. is never very use
ful again at high temperatures.

Apple Trees Need

When pruning young apple trees
it is well to keep in mind that when
mature, the tree may be called upon
to carry as high as 80 bushels of ap-
pies, which will weigh close to three
quarters of a ton, on the ends Of its
branches. A tree with weak frame
work or bad crotches is certain to
break under the strain sooner or later.
The time to build a strong framework
is when the tree is young. Avoid
opposite branches Of approximately
equal size. If necessary, trim one Of
them back so that the other will grow
more rapidly. 1t will also pay to bear
in mind that where all the branches
are trimmed out of the center of the
tree the fruit is forced to the outside
where it will give the greatest possible
strain on the tree. A thinning out Of
the entire top Of a tree will help to
distribute the load.--American Agri-
cultur:st.

Grain Ration for
Ewes Is Advised
Addition Found Profitable
During Last Weeks of
Lamb Carrying.

In periods Of low prices 1t Is essen
tial for sheepmen to save every lamb
born, according to L. A. Kaufman,
extension specialist in sheep for the
Ohio State university, who says that
no other factor is as important in de-
termining income from the flock than
is the percentage Of lambs born and
raised.
Lambs born from vigorous, healthy
ewes, he points out, have much bet
ter chance Of reaching maturity than
those from weak, poorly fed ewes. If
no grain has been fed the ewes, some
can well be added to the ration dur
ing the last few weeks the lamb is
carried. This helps insure strong,
well-developed lamb and a good flow
of milk from the dam.
The kinds and amounts of grain to
be fed depend upon the hay available
and the condition of the ewes. With
high quality legume hay, oats is suffi-
preferable. One pound Of protein sup
pie to seven or eight Of grain usually
will suffice. With mixed hay more
protein is needed, and it is good idea
to feed one pound Of supplement to
six pounds Of grain. The grain mix
ture used where timothy, corn slower,
or other low protein roughages are
used, should contain one pound of pro-
tein supplement to each four or five
pounds of grain.
Among the protein supplements that
are best to feed at the present time,
Kaufman believes, are soybean oil
meal, cottonseed meal, linseed meal,
dairy feeds and bran. Any of these
are suitable to balance farm-grown
grains, but twice as much bran or low
analysis dairy feed is required to
take the place of one pound Of other
supplements.

Reduced Pork Costs

Pigs fed limited rations proved
more efficient in the utilization of
their feed than did those fed full ra-
ton, requiring much less feed per 100
pounds of gain and producing some
what leaner carcasses in tests carried
on by the bureau Of animal industry,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The results indicate that the
limited feeding of swine may be a
practical and efficient method Of re-
ducing pork production costs when the
labor cost and market situation are
favorable, or when predominance

Good Results From
Changing Hog Lots
Colorado Farmer Found It
Saved the Pigs.

Frank Austin, Colorado farmer, has
found that it pays to change his hog
lots frequently, If large filters Of
healthy pigs are to be grown success
fully.
Two years ago he was almost dis
couraged with hog raising, he told
George Henderson, county extension
agent at large for the Colorado Agri-
cultural college. For years he had
been producing hogs, but of late his
returns were very small.
He got rid of most of his sows, but
one of the few he kept he decided
to move across the road to some new
ground. There she farrowed litter Of
ten pigs and saved all Of them.
"That's the way I used to raise them
when 1 first started" Austin said.
Changing lots for pigs certainly
worked that time"
Last year he took all his sows across
the road and put them in clean pens
to farrow. 1t worked again!
Now Austin has about 80 healthy,
fat 200-pound porkers ready to sci.
He raised these from only II sows.
That was no accident, for 81 other
eastern Colorado farmers owning a to-
tai of 635 sows saved ALPS pigs, an av-
erage of six and one-half pigs per lit
ter. Every one of these 81 farmers
changed their hog lots at least every
two years!

Weeds on Rough Land

One of the difficult questions asked
is: "How are weeds to be controlled
on rough land which cannot be culti-
vated" The hawkweeds, daisy and
blue weed are gradually getting worse
and land that used to make good pas
ture is hopeless today. In some cases,
and-picking, spading out, applying
salt. waste oil or chemicals to small
patches, close pasturing and planting
back to trees are recommended. One
man who had a rough, badly-infested
piece of land claims that by applying
manure he was able to stimulate the
growth of grass so that it gradually
killed off the weeds.

Glover Yield Increased
by Cutting First Crop

The yield Of red clover seed can be
increased by cutting the first crop
when the plants are coming into
bloom, rather than later, according to
the Ohio experiment station. Cutting
the hay crop early, so as to give the
second or seed crop good chance, is
the one important factor in increasing
yield which is within the growers
control. Important factors beyond his
control are favorable weather and
plenty of bumblebees or other pollinat-
ing insects. Early cut hay is more
difficult to cure and the yield is some
what less than later cut hay, but the
feeding value per ton is greater than
that Of more mature hay. y

Proper Calf Meals

A four-month-old calf can be made
to thrive on calf meal as part of its
ration without milk If the meal is
properly balanced, says the Idaho
Farmer. It should receive whole milk
from its mother for two to four days,
at which time skim milk may be grad
ually substituted for the whole. 1t
should receive the skim milk there
after at least until four weeks old.
During the second two weeks the meal
may be substituted gradually for the
skim milk, so that by the end of four
weeks it is taking a pound and half
a day. This should be gradually in
creased to two pounds at two months
old.

Soil for Garden

Light sandy soils are benefited by
working clay and humus into them.
They require attention in this regard
for several seasons. They must be
dug deeply and unless the slope Of
the ground provides natural drainage,
the main hope of getting them into
really first class shape is under drain
age. However, they can be worked
into condition to grow good vegetables
or flowers without this expensive work.

operations this spring. Good soil Is

their carcasses graded choice to prime.
The feed cost for each calf was $27.9S,
