Stunting an Animal as Result of In sufficient Food May 'Be Only Temporary Condition. Live slock products are the result of growth. By far the largest part of Increase in animals 1s the result of growth. The younger the animals the greater the growth impulse. Many factors influence the tendency, of an animal to grow. Anions these are age, condition, gestation, lactation and the quantity and quality of food. A given amount of food will produce more growth on a young animal than on the same animal at a 7.ater age. All the growth factors influence the young an imal much more p jwerfully than older animals. If an animal's food supply is insuf- ficient for uurnial growth, the animal may be etarded in growth. If this The vaccination of horses as a pre rentive for strangles or distemper is tieing extensively employed. It has been found that the cause of the dis ease warrants the use of a bacterial , vaccine. This gives assistance to uu-i ture's own efforts of protection and forms the logical means of preventing , strangles as well as other diseases) paused by specific organisms. J The outcome of the vaccination of .' horses has in some instances been dis appointing. It is possible that in such ; cases the bacteria has deteriorated or' become ineffective, or that the results are complicated by secondary infec tions. In the latter case it is advisable to use bacterins that will combat the secondary infections. These are called mixed bacterins, and contain a vari ety of killed bacteria commonly en countered in such diseases. In case distemper appears, all opal thy animals should be immediately Injected with streptobacterins. The administration of bacterial vaccines should be made by a competent veter inarian, as ' improper administration . may not provide proper protection and ; bo result in irregularities. Bacterins can be obtained from manufacturers of various biological products. CLIPPING HORSES IN SPRING Weii-Fed Hereford. treatment is continued for a long time the animal may become permanently stunted. Stunting an animal as the result of insufficient food may be only a tempo rary condition. An animal does not :lose its capacity to grow as the result of stunting. F. B. Uumforfe, dean of the Missouri College of Agriculture, cites a feeding test at the Missouri ex periment ' station in which an animal that had becn stunted by poor feeding to such an extent that it weighed only 200 pounds at twelve months of age, gained 841 pounds during the second year. Only 5.6 pounds of grain for each pound of gain made were re quired on this steer stunted during the lirst twelve months. A steer that had been generously fed during the first twelve months of his life gained only 500 pounds during the second twelve months, and this gain was more expen sive than the gain made on the stunted I steer. The amount of grain required ;lo make a pound of sin on the well jfed steer was 9.S pounds. . ; It is certain that stunting an animal (even for so long a period as twelve j months doesnot destroy its capacity to grow. iGAINS MADE FEEDING LAMBS Heavy Coat of Hair Causes Much Sweating, Which Is Enervating to Work Animals. A good many horses come through the winter season with heavy, rough coats that are not shed when spring work begins ; the result is they are un comfortable when at heavy work. A heavy coat of hair causes much sweat ing, which is enervating to the horsa and consequently produces an unnec essary drain upon his . strength and vitality. Nor is this all. A horse that sweats freely during the changing weather of spring is very apt to take, cold. Rough, shaggy coats should be clipped in the spring before heav.N work begins. ' y There are excellent clippers on the market for this purpose, and they can be bought at very reasonable prices, A good clipper will pay for itself in & Single season on almost any farm, an sometimes it will do much more than that. If a team is laid up with a bac$ cold for a few day3 when work ia pressing the loss of work may become very expensive. This should be avoid ed by the use of a clipper and inci dentally also make the horse more comfortable. KEEP ALL SWINE CONTENTED : Result of Test at South Dakota Station 1 to Determine Value of Alfalfa ; and Prairie Hay. : The best .gains ever secured at tht i South Dakota experiment station in feeding lambs was in an experiment jto determine the comparative value of alfalfa and prairie hay with the jsame kind of a grain ration. I The grain ration consisted of a mix ture of 100 pounds of oats, 100 pounds (.of shelled corn and 25 pounds of oil jmeal. t Each lot was started on one pound jper head of the mixture daily, and to j creased until they were receiving txrm land one-tenths pounds per head of grain daily, and what hay they would eat. The average daily gain per head for I the lot that received the alfalfa hay I was .51 of a nound. while with the lot that received the prairie hay, the aver age daily gain per head was .38 of a pound. One of Most Difficult Animals to Con trol Once It Gets Habit of Break ing Out of Pasture. When a hog once gets the habit ol getting out of its yard, pasture , or whatever its enclosure may be, it is one of the most difficult animals to. control. You can stop a breachy horsa or cow if you build , a fence high IDAILY EXERCISE FOR STOCK Horses and Mules Should Be Given Run for an Hour or So In Lot Adjoining Stables. Horses and mules should have good idally carding and regular exercise. If (there is nothing for them to do ro move their shoes and give them run for an hour or so in a well-fencad !lot adjoining the stables. I The best and safest fence for pas ture is of stout woven wire, rail or a combination board and smooth wire. Barbed wire should not be used, as it is dangerous. Contented Sow. enough, but a " hog goes through. If there is no hole in the fence it makes one. Of course if the fence was so tight at first that the hog could not get through, it won't bother you the second and forty-ninth time. Insufficient or irregular feeding, ot failing to supply something which the animals crave in the feed makes hogs restless and ready to take the first chance of exploring the outside world in hopes of finding what they failed, to find in their troughs. It saves time and patience to keep them contented and at home. COMFORTABLE PEN FOR SOWS SUNLIGHT IS BIG ESSENTIAL Cheaper to Warm Animal With Rea sonably Good Building Than to Furnish Alfalfa. Do the hogs have warm, dry beds? Hemernber that it is a matter of econ omy in rearing hogs to provide them with comfortable quarters. It ia cheaper to warm a hog with a reason ably good building, with straw and lit ter, than to burn alfalfa hay and G0 cent corn in maintaining the heat of the animal body. Provision for Admission of Maximum ' Amount of Light in Barn Should i Net Be Overlooked. i. . i ! No barns or shelters for any kind Of animals should ever be constructed without making' ample provision for iho admission of the maximum amount j t-f buulight. .Such buildings should fcuve a southern exposure, if possible, j Tki3 will provide extra warmth in t.hj .winter time and the sunlight which ia I lhu3 permitted to enter the building pill destroy many disease gerjes. . j ' ; - i i - .. s . - PERMITTING. RAM WITH EWES Not Advisable to Let Him Run With, Flock Longer Than Six Weeks to Prevent Accidents. Never let the ram run with the ewes any longer than six weeks, for he will buit tliQra around a ad cause thc-m to looe their lambs. They will mostly all get .with lamb sooner than this, but It is best to keep him ia long enough to be sure. LET us face the facts. The war situation is critical.
