TO PREVENT WHITE SCOURS
Pennsylvania State Experiment Sta
tion Outlines Some Suggestions
to Prevent Disease.
"White scours is a. germ disease,
heuce its suppression lies In the pre
vention of Infection. The Pennsylva
nia state experiment station outlines
the following suggestions for the pre
vention of this disease:
The cow should be permitted to
drop her calf upon a clean bed of
straw in a thoroughly disinfected
stall. Immediately after birth of the
calf, the umbilical cord should be
soaked in a 2 per cent solution of
some standard dip. A wide-mouthed
vessel will be the most convenient
container for the solution, as it may
be held close to the body and the cord i
folded down into the solution.
To prevent contamination the cord j
should not be touched with the fin
gers. After soaking, both the cord
and an area three inches in diameter
surrounding it "should be painted with
iodine, by means of a small piece of
absorbent cotton. A drying powder
of equal parts boric acid, powdered
alum and flowers of sulphur should
then be dusted on the cord twice dally
until it has dried off. The powder
should be applied with a dusting can. j
Additional precautions include the j
rinsing of the cow's udder with a dip I
solution to destroy germs on these i
parts before the calf is suckled, and
thorough cleaning of the stable, in
cluding disinfection of the walls and
floors.
If the calf Is very valuable, dairy
men are advised by the Pennsylvania
station to inject a serum prepared
from a number of organisms found in
calves with white scours, as a pre
ventive. This should be done as soon
as the calf is dropped.
DAIRY FARMER LOSES MONEY
Raises Most of Feed and Buys Very
Little Material Herd Helps Keep
Up Fertility of Soil.
How can a dairy farmer lose money
on his cows and still make a living?
The answer is easy. The farmer raises
! most of his feed and probably buys
i very little material not raised on the
farm to assist him in feeding appetiz
; ing balanced rations. lie has the herd
to assist him in keeping up the fertil
; ity of the soil and spends little if any
money for commercial fertilizers. It
1 results in a small profit on the farm,
; but profit is made on feed raised and
not on the dairy cattle that consume
It. .

land, and spent the time used in car
ing for the cows in some form of in
tensive farming which would make
him at least wages for his time.
It is a fact that you cannot make
money on a losing proposition and it
follows that the man who is losing
money on dairy cattle is not making
a living by selling dairy products. He

crops produced on the farm plus1 the
fact that his living expenses are not

BALANCED RATION FOR CALF
Separator Milk Is Liable to Cause In
digestion, Capricious Appetite
and Diarrhea.
(By GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado
Agricultural College, Fort Collins.)
Separator milk is not a balanced
ration for culves. On this feed alone,
and the way It is usually given to
them, they are liable to get Indiges
tion, as shown by a bloated condition,
capricious appetite and diarrhea. Most
of this trouble can be averted by add
ing a handful of oilrneal, cornmeal or
cottonseed meal, to supply, in a way,
the fat that has been removed in the
skimming. The milk should be given
to them warm and never when it is
frothy. Never allow a calf to drink
all of the milk that It wants at one
meal. It is bad practice to allow sev
eral calves to drink out of one
trough, sum of them will get too
much. Care in feeding calves Is of
vastly more importance than "cures"
for calf scours.
CALVES FED IN STANCHIONS
Practice Prevents Them From Getting
Into Each Other's Feed
Also Protects Ears.
Feed the odves in stanchions. This
keeps them from getting each other's
feed and also helps to keep them
from the habit of sucking each other.

MOWING NATAL GRASS
Harvesting Should Begin as Soon
as Seeds Begin to Ripen.
Unnecessary Length of Exposure
Bleaches Hay and Makes It Less
Palatable and Nutritious
Eest Time for Cutting.
(By S. M. TRACY.)
The mowing of natal grass should
begin as soon as a considerable part
of the seed begins to ripen. If the
weather should be unfavorable at that
time it can stand several days with
out great injury, as it is making a
continuous growth of new shoots.
When' the cutting is delayed too long
the quality of the hay is Injured by
the shatte'lng of the seeds and by the
drying-up and breaking-off of :he
older stems. The greatest loss from
delaying the cuttings too long Is the
consequent postponement of the sub
sequent cuttings. To" secure the great
est yield during the year and to make
hay .of the highest quality, all of the
earlier cuttings should be made as
soon as the grass Is In proper condi
tion, though the last cutting may be
delayed until a few days before frost
Is expected, as the grass is growing
rapidly at that time and the late cut
ting insures a good supply of seed on
the ground for the following spring.
The grass dries so quickly that it
should be allowed to lie on the ground
only a short time. Unnecessarily long
exposure bleaches the hay and makes
It less palatable, less nutritious, and
less salable. The best hay Is that
which is cured In the shortest time
and with the least exposure to the
weather. Exposure to rain bleaches
and injures the hay seriously, and
even exposure to heavy dew deadens
the color and makes the hay less at-

tractive in appearance. One can usu
ally be reasonably sure of the weath
er several hours in advance and choose
a time for cutting when the hay can
at least be cured sufficiently to put It
in the cock before it Is wet by rain or
dew.
When the weather is favorable for
curing, it is best to mow in the morn
ing, from the time the dew is off until
noon, and then windrow and cock in
the afternoon. The hay should remain
in the cock until thoroughly field
cured. The time required for this field
curing will depend on the condition
of the weather. If very favorable It
may be safe to haul It to the barn
after It has been in the cocks 36 to 4S
hours, but a longer time is often neces
sary, i
Field curing may be regarded as
completed when the stems are so dry
that they will break when a small
wisp of hay is twisted tightly, when it
does not feel cool, if pressed to the
cheek, and when stirring it slightly
produces a slight rustle. '
When conditions are unfavorable
for drying, as In rainy, cool or cloudy
weather, the field curing requires a
much longer time and is often unsat
isfactory. '
With all the judgment which the
grower .may use, some hay will occa
sionally be caught by rain, and It then
requires special care to cure it thor
oughly. If It rains on the hay soon
after it Is cut little harm will be done,
but the Injury will be greater If the
rain conies after it is partially dry. If
the dry or even partly dry hay be wet
with rain, it should not be touched un
til the surface has become thoroughly
dry. If it is still In the swath It will
need no ' attention unless the crop Is
very heavy, when it should be tedded
or turned with a fork. If in the wind
row or cock it should be opened and
spread as soon as the outside has be
come well dried.
Much field injury from rain may be
prevented by the use of hay caps for
covering the cocks. These caps are
made in various styles, but the one
most generally liked is a piece of
heavy cotton cloth four to five feet
square, with a pin of heavy wire a foot
in length fastened to each corner.
When the cap is put in place and the
pins are pushed Into the cock to pre
vent It from being blown off, the hay
I11 stand a heavy rain with very little
injury. The hay should not be put into
the barn or the stack until it is so dry
that there will be no danger 'from
hitting and molding, and when the
weather Is not very warm and dry It
Is not safe to bale It until at least a
week after it Is cut. In case it must
be taken to the barn, while still slight
er '-n. r ('rpsslnc of salt, about five
pounds per ton, or a slight sprinkling
of freshly slaked, lime will aid in Its
preservation. v
The field curing should be as thor
ough as the weather will permit, after
which the huy should be hauled to the
barn and the final curing completed
there.
At present a large part of 4he natal
grass hay Is put in stacks when hauled
from the field. In many cases this
cannot be avoided, but it Is much safer
to store It In a barn or under a shed.
When stacked, there Is always consid
erable loss from leaching and bleach
ing on the outside of the stack, a loss
which may be almost wholly prevent
ed when the hay Is protected from the
weather. The sweating and final cur
ing are much more even when com
pleted in a mow, ami so a better qual
ity of hay Is secured than is possible
from an exposed stack.
The hay should remain In the mow
until it goes through a sweat, as this
develops a sweeter aroma in the hay
and makes It safe from heating and
molding in the bale. The degree of
heat developed in this sweating will
depend very largely on the amount of
moisture in the hay. If the hay is put
in the mow before It is well air-cured,
the heat may be excessive and the hay
discolored. If It is only moderately
browned Its actual value is injured
very little, though the hay Is less read
ily salable.
While it may appear dry and well
cured there Is almost sure to be mois
ure left in some of the stems, espe
cially In the joints. This moisture is
often sufficient to cause heating in the
bale, and when 'the hay reaches the
market It will be found so damaged as
to be classed as of very low grade.
"SAFETY FIRST" FOR SWINE
Watchword With Many Farmers Who
Are Taking Precautions Against
Losses From Hcg Cholera.
(Ey DR. E. M. RANCK, Mississippi Ex
periment Station.)
"Safety first for the pork chop" is
the watchword with the many farm
ers who are now taking precautions
against losses from hog cholera. The
only reliable treatment and preventive
for this disease is the antihog cholera
serum discovered by government offi
cials and known as the Dorset-Niles
serum.
The many ways in which cholera
may be carried from one herd to an-'
other makes it imperative that hogs
In infected territory be vaccinated as
early as possible after the- disease Is
discovered. If a competent graduate
veterinarian is to be had, the serum
simultaneous method may be used, by
which the hog Is immunized for life.
In the interval after the disease Is
discovered and before the serum may
be obtained, a knowledge of the means
by which it is transmitted may help
in some measure to prevent its spread.
Buzzards are the principal carriers,
but pigeons and other birds eating aft
er the, sick hogs, men walking through
Infected pastures, dogs digging up
buried carcasses, creeks running
through pastures containing diseased
hogs, Insects, dust, and many other
means furnish transportation. The
following suggestions may help Jn con
trolling the disease:
Write to your veterinarian. Burn or
bury-all hogs dying of cholera so deep
that dogs cannot dig them up. Keep
hogs away from running streams that
are likely to carry infection. Keep
people who have been infected out of
hog pastures. Kill the buzzards.
CROPS PREFERRED FOR SILO
Kafir, Sorghum and Milo Maize Are
Favored in Semi-Arid Region
Where Rainfall Is Small.
Kaflr, sorghum and milo maize are
ready to cut for the silo when their
seeds are in the doush stage. Such
silnge crops are to be preferred In the
semi-arid region where there Is not
sufficient rain to insure a good corn
crop.' and ton for ton such silage Is
practically equal to corn silage as a
milk producer.
