The most serious 0vereating
problem in sheep is called en-
terOt0xenia. It arises In the in
teStine. not in the stomach as
with cattle. It usually affects
feeder lambs after they have
been in the feedlot for some
time. Enterotoxerlia is caused
not only by overeating, but also
by a resulting change in the
type Of bacteria in the sheep.
Researchers have found tn t
Overeating disease in sheep is
caused by a toxin formed by
germs and that much OF it can
be prevented by vaccination.

can be hand fed to make sure
they do not get too much grain

Horse Boarding
Farm Could Be
Good Enterprise

How'd you like to try a hand at
farm enterprise that has no
foreseeable surpluses, no quotas
no allotnIents ard apparently
plenty Of room for expansion?
The project is boarding horses
for owners who either have no
land of their own, or who are
remote from the breeding cen
tiers and want to keep their
mares close to the more popular
studs.
Boarding projects of this kind
are right in lire with the govern
ment's pleas to divert land from
the production Of surplus food
and fiber crops, says an article
in Farm Quarterly magazine.
AS to how much money you
will make out of this enterprise.
one man says a fellow is al
ways more apt to complain
about the condition of his horse
than about what you charge
him. If you keep the horses in
good shape you'll get along all
right.
The more common rate on
Standardized establishments is

Thoroughbreds 500 to SIPS per
month. These rates include stall.
pasture and feed, nothing more
Horses are no harder to han
die than any other kind Of live
stock but they must have more
individual attention. Anyone
thinking of going into the board
ing business should have a def
mite inclination toward horses
and should spend some time
learning everything he can about
them.

Be Problem
With Livestock

Winter brings a change in
feeding methods for most farm
animals. says Virginia Polytech-
mic Institute veterinarian. DR.. S.
l.. Kalison. Many animals pas
tured during the summer are
put in the 1eedlot and fattened
for market. Grain is often sub
stituted for forage in the feed
lot.
The result is often overeating
problems, according to Kalison.
Much of the digestion in cattle
and sheep is done by bacteria in
the first two parts Of the stom-
ach. When overeating causes an
upset in the delicate chemical
balance. trouble usually results.
Cattle are most susceptible to
this kicd of indigestion.
Affected cattle ordinarily re-
fuse 10 eat. and stop chewing
their cud. As a result, they swc!-
low little saliva. This adds to
distress because the alkaline Sa-
Iva keeps the contents Of the
stomach from bee ming too
acid. Animals become slightly
bloated, and then may start
securing. When this happens
death can come quickly.
In the fall. overeating prob
LENS are usually caused by too
much grain especially barley
or wheat. or even corn. Often.
just a slight increase in the
grain ration can be responsible
The trouble occurs most often
when cattle are transferred from
pasture to feedlOt.

When taking soil samples -
remember that the tests and

area to be fortified, the recon-
mendations will not be the best
fors the area.
The field to be sampled should
be divided into uniform soil
areas. If there are marked diff
1erences in slope. soil color. or
soil texture. these areas should
be sampled separately. Ther
may be differences in the fer
tility level of these soils and
differences in fertilizer needs.
II one part Of an area has been
fertilized. lined. or manured diff
ferently, it should be sampled
separately. Such areas will prob
ably test differently and m a v
likely have different fertilizer
needs.
Take Enough
After a field is divided into
uniform areas. take a soil
sample from each. Take enough
subsamples or soil cores to rep
resent the area adequately. This
will mean a minimum Of two or
three subsampleS per acre. For
a five-acre field. for instance
take a minimum Of 10 to Is sub
samples. Stay out Of unusual
areas in the field. such as back
burrows. eroded spots. old fence
rows, and old straw stack sites.

Be sure to label each box ac-

recommendations.

This Is the way prospects for
Virginia farm prices looked TO
the Virginia Department of Ag-
riculture on Friday. The Depart
ment offers it to farmers with
the warning that no one can
predict prices and be right all
the time.)
Eggs
There may be a further de-
cline in egg prices, but it's our
guess this decline will be
minor. Between now and Christ
mas prices should rise. Ira
ditionally, there is always some
increase in prices after tn e
Thanksgiving holiday.
October egg production was
two per cent above last year
and it is expected that N0vem-
Der production will be about the
same. November layers will be
down around one per cent. Out
put in early 1868 may be down
a little because Of a smaller lay
ing flock. The Virginia estimate
was down seven per cent in Oc-
tOber.
At the retail level, with rela-
lively higher prices for Grade
A large eggs. there has been ar
unusually coed demand for
mediums recently.
Last weeks prices in Virginia
were: Grade A large, mostly 81
to 40 cents: mediums, 81 to 81
cents: smalls "a to rs cents. The
New York market. for large
whites was al to "A cents
mediums 80 to "a cents.
Br0ilers
Look for a temporary slight
increase in brciler prices until
about mid-December. After this
time professors will be focus
sing their attention again on tur-
keys.
At present. the supply in q
states is up Is per cent. Next
week this will 60 to II per cent
and the trend is upward until
the end of December. Virginia
SUI plies for December are heavy
compared with last year = they
will be up nine per cent next
week over the comparable week
last year. But in February we
will have fewer broilers in Vir-
ginia than last year at the Same
time.

Plan Next Years Fertilizer
BY Taking Soil Samples Now

Farm fields to be fertilized
next year should be sampled be-
tween now and next spring. says
Virginia Polytechnic Institute
agronomist George Hawkins.
Weather and soil conditions are
nearly ideal right now. he says
but this may not last long!
BY sampling now you can
avoid the early spring rush of
soil samples at the VPI soil
testing laboratory. Those send
ing samples in early will receive
fertilizer recommendations in a
minimum Of time.
Hawkins adds that by planning
a fertilization program now. it
may be possible to take advan-
tage Of price discounts ususally
offered by fertilizer companies
at this time Of year. These dis
counts amount to as much as
