Heaves is a very common
and annoying disease of hors
es, interfering seriously with
the usefulness of the animal,
an consequently detracting
from its value. Mainly a dis
ease of old horses, it is essen
tially the result of faulty feed
ing and working, especially
hard pulling or fast driving
when the stomach is overload
ed. Gross feeders are fre
quently subjects of heaves.
While in old, established
cases there may be alterations
in structure of the heart and
stomach, the principal changes
are observed in the lungs.
These consist first in an en
largement of the capacity of
the air cells through dilation
of their walls, followed by a
'passage of the air into the lung
tissue between the air cells.
Owing to such structural
changes, it is impossible to
prevent progressive develop
ment of the disease, which,
however, under proper care,
may go on slowly, the animal
remaining serviceable for cer
tain kinds of work for years.
Except in the very early
stages the disease is readily
detected. The symptoms are
those which would naturally
be manifested in a condition
where the lungs are involved.
A peculiar, grunit-like cough is
usually present, and when the
animal is exerted a wheezing
noise accompanies the breath"
ing. The principal and char
acteristic symptom, however,
is the jerky or double move
ment of the abdomen in an ef
fort to force air from the
iungs. The air passes into
them freely, but the power to
expel it is lost to a great ex
tent therefore the abnominal
muscles are brought into play.
Indigestion is frequently^ib
3erved in these cases, and the
horse may have a depraved
appetite, as shown by a desire
to eat dirt and soiled bedding
and there is a tendency to the
condition commonly termed
"pot-bellied". The animal,
though a heavy feeder, be"
comes unthrifty and emaciat
ed. A poorly ventilated sta
ble, humid weather, severe
work, and over-feeding with
course, dry feeds, tend to ag
gravate the trouble.

tural changes have taken place
in the lungs, treatment, as a
rule, can only be directed to
ihe relief of the symptoms,
and it is not possible to effect
a complete cure after the dis
ease is established.
In the case of an affected
horse it will be an advantage
to dampen the food with a
mixture of one part of molas"
ses to three parts of water, so
that no dust may arise while
the animal is eating. It is al
so desirable to restrict the
amount of hay or forage, as
large quantities of bulky feed
which distend the abdomen in
crease the difficulty, and an
animal with heaves should
never be driven or worked
when full of such material.
In these cases Fowler's so
lution of arsenic may be giv
en in doses of I ounce in the
drinking water three times
daily. Ordinary lime dissolv
ed in drinking water (lime
water) will be found benefi"
cial. Lime may be added to
a barrel or cask of water, and
after the resulting mixture has
become clear throug hprecipi
tation of undissolved portions
of the lime the limewater may
be used freely in watering the
animal.
A Few Ten
Second Topics
There are eight cow-testing
associations in New Hamp
shire.
Reports from many farms
show that it costs an average
of $45 to feed an Oklahoma
dairy cow a year.
"Silage is the cheapest and
best form in which a succu
lent feed can be provided for
winter use," says a govern
ment expert.
Fairmont, West Virginia,
has a Rat Extermination
league. It pays its extermin
ators five cents per tail for
trophies of success.
Chains should be used on
the automobile wheels when
needed, and taken off prompt
ly when the need is past. They
are hard on tires.
Wet green feed will injure
young rabbits if they are given
a full ration of it at once after
-eaning. They should be
come accustomed to it gradu

Geo. M. Stockwell Co.
Professor Holden, the noted
corn specialist, once found
465 corn-root worms on the
roots and in the dirt surround
ing one hill of coin. Rotation
of crops is the best remedy.
Rooting is natural for hogs
only when they can't get the
food they need above ground.
It is stated that if one pound
of meat meal is fed with every
ten pounds of corn it will
c.top ihe rcoling habit in swine.
MARKET TOPPERS.
In discussing the question
as to the best time to market
hogs, Mr. Peters, of the North
Dakota experiment station,
states: At present the 180 to
225 pound hog is topping the
market and whenever possible
it will pay to get hogs to mar
ker at this weight. He also
staies that the hogs are small
er than usual at this time of
thr year, due to the unfavor
able year and limited grain
:cding during the summer. If
is possible to bring the hog
a weight of over 180 lbs.
the first of December it
will pay to push them from
now on and market at that
imc. The hogs that are now
weighing 50 to 100 pounds
will need to be fed a growing
ration for at least two months
sefore commencing to fatten
them.
To Prevent Worms in Hogs.
To guard against worms and
insure general health and
thrift in hogs, W. H. Peters of
the North Dakota experiment
station recommends the fol
owing: Mix thoroughly two
aushels of wood ashes or pul
verized charcoal, one peck air
lacked lime, one gallon pul
verized copper sulphate, ane
quart salt and one pint flow
ers of sulfur.
ihe best way to feed this
to place it in a box where
the hogs can get at it any time,
as Lhey only eat what is good
or them. It can also be fed
to them once a week in case
this is come convenient than
to keep it where the hogs have
continual access to it.

GOLDEN VALLEY CHRONICLE
KING GEORGE
APPEALS FOR
HELP IN WAR.
London, Oct. 26. King
George has issued an appeal
to his subjects to come for
ward and aid Great Britain in
her fight against the Germanic
allies.
"To My People: At this
great moment in the struggle
between my people and a
highly organized enemy who
has transgressed the laws of
nations and changed the ordi
nance that binds civilized Eu
rope together, I appeal to you.
"1 rejoice in my empire's ef
forts and I feel pride in the
voluntary response from my
subjects all over the world.
"The end is not in sight.
More men and yet more are
manted to keep my armies in
the field and through them to
secure victory and an endur
ng peace. In ancient days
he darkest moment has ever
produced in men of our race
the sternest resolve. I ask
you, men of all classes, to coTns
forward voluntarily and take
your share in these fights."
SCHOOL HYGEINE.
The following is from the
October issue of the Pennant,
the official publication of the
North Dakota Anti-Tubercu
losis association's official or'
gan:
School hygiene is one
the great problems of
kind. Mankind is gregarious
we love association. Out of
that disposition has grown
our great communities, our
immense cities, and in early
years of men proper sanitation
of cities was an immense prob
lem to solve, and those who
undertook the solution of it
were looked upon as dreamers.
To a very great extent we
have solved the problem of
sanitation in our cities. There
is yet a great deal to be done
in that direction, but the fun
damental principles of sanita
tion are very generally known.
Our school rooms, whether
public or private, are little cit
ies in themselves, composed
of those who not yet have
reached mature judgment, who
have not yet had sufficient
years in life to become famil"
iar with the principles under
lying proper hygiene.—Wood
row Wilson.
DEFENSE PLANS
GAIN STRENGTH.
Washington, Oct. 26.—Mo
bilization of the full strength
of administration forces in
support of the national de
fense program apparently was
assured today when Represen
tative Hay of Virginia, chair
man of the house military af
fairs committee, after a con"
ference with President Wil
son, announced himself in fav
or of the army increase plan.
Senator Chamberlain, chair
man of the senate' military
committee, already has ap
roved the proposal to build up
a regular and continental
army of more than a million
men in six years. Formal
publication of the plan in de
tail will follow Senator Cham
berlain's conference with the
president next week. The
navy's $500,000,000 five
year building program already
has been approved by both
house and senate leaders.
NORTH DAKOTA LEADS.
North Dakota again heads
the list of states in the compo
site conditions of all crops ac
cording to the department of
agriculture, October 1st, re
port. In July North Dakota
lead by a margin of less than
one per cent. In the October
report, which is close to the
final, she leads all states, none
being within less than eight
per cent of her record. Here
is the way the first five states
stand (100 equals average
conditions): North Dakota,
138.9 South Dakota, 130.9
Kansas, 127 Nebraska, 123.
