Dairy Investigation, N. C. Agricultural Experiment Station. WNU Service. Diseased animals should be quar antined to prevent the spread of in fection. Quarantine not only protects the healthy animals, but it also facili tates the treatment of diseased ani mals. Introducing new animals Into a herd without quarantining them for a pe riod of 30 to 40 days is not favored. If at the end of the period they are found to be free from disease, then It is considered safe to place them In the herd. While in quarantine the animals should be watched closely for any trace of disease. The period necessary to keep the animals under close observa tion varies, depending upon where the new animals came from, the type of animal, and its physical condition. Animals collected from different farms, assembled In public stock yards, and shipped long distances are dan gerous sources of infection, as they are exposed to many chances for catch ing disease at a time when their re sistance is lowered. But animals which have been hauled only short distances are also liable to became infected, while many come from herds where disease is pres ent, the need for precaution is neces sary whenever bringing new stock Into a herd. A few infected animals can spread disease through a whole herd In a few days, and It is risky to wait a day or two before putting the new stock into quarantine, even though there is no apparent indication of disease. Eliminate Parasites to Conserve Supply of Feed Stock feed can be conserved this win ter by eliminating parasites that sap the strength of the a fleeted animals, states Dr. E. N. Stout,\ extension vet erinarian at the Colorado agricultural college. Not only will the elimination of par asites allow the live stock to winter through on less feed, but indigestion and colic may be prevented, Doctor Stout says. Lice on cattle can be eliminated by dipping anytime on a sunny day. The best dip solution is nicotine sulphate. One dip will eliminate all live lice, but a second application may be made 15 days later to catch the lice hatched during the interval. Horse hot parasites should be treated not sooner than one month after a freeze hard enough to eliminate the . bot flies, as it requires a month's time for the larvae to migrate to the stom ach. In addition to the bots, other intestinal parasites sneh as round worms and tapeworms will be elimi nated. When Cows Chew Wood When cows chew wood or bones and eat dirt it shows that the dairy ration is deficient in mineral matter, which should be corrected at once. Examine the ration carefully and add those feeds that are high in minerals. Le gume hays, such as cow*pea, soybean, clover, and alfalfa are rich in calcium and will supply a sufficient amount of this mineral for the average cow. Phos phorus is supplied by wheat bran, cot tonseed meal, and soybean meal. These ! feeds contain about 30 per cent of this mineral. It might be well to add two ! pounds of a mineral mixture composed I of equal parts of finely ground lime stone and steamed bone meal to each 100 pounds of the concentrate ration. Seize Poisoned Food The careful inspectors of the federal food and drug administration continue to find shipments of fruit and vege tables which have on the surface an excess of poisonous spray residue be yond what is considered a safe limit. Among the shipments seized were 137 of apples, three of pears and 14 of cauliflower. Five consignments of pickles were confiscated because they were found to have been sweetened with saccharin Instead of sugar and one shipment of imported sardines was destroyed because of the presence of lead in the food. On the Farm Portugal raised sufficient wheat the past year to feed all its people. ? ? ? The 1934 apple crop In New York state was the smallest In 44 years. ? * * Young calves often have stomach ache and should be treated with castor oil, say live stock experts. ? ? ? Age does not determine the vitality of farm seeds. In general, older seeds do not germinate so well as fresh seeds. ? ? ? After heifers are a year old, they need little or no concentrates provided they receive plenty of high-quality roughage. ? ? ? The value of Mississippi's cotton crop In 1934 was estimated by farm authori ties at $74,340,000 in contrast to $37, 820,000 for 1933. ? ? ? Idaho produced approximately 19. 010,000 bushels of potatoes the past year or about 2,000,000 bushels below the state's live-year average. I
