INCREASED VALUE OF LAMBS
Docking and Castration of Young Ani
mals Destined for Market Im
proves Quality.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Docking and castration of lambs des- i
tined for the market materially in
creases their market value because of
improved quality, according to the
United States Department of Agri
culture.
There are several reasons for this.
Docking makes the hind-quarters of
lambs appear more blocky and deep,
and it also adds much to the cleanli
ness of the animals. Thus they appear
more attractive to the buyers when
they reach the market. Ewes which
ure to be kept in the breeding flock
should also be docked as a very large
portion of the undocked ewes will fail
to breed.
Ilani lambs over three months of
age tend to grow thin -and develop
coarse shoulders and neck. Thin
fleshed, coarse, open-shouldered lambs
are not of a desirable quality, and
when they reach the market they are
discriminated against by the buyers
because of these features. If the
lambs are castrated and docked when
they are a few days old their growth
will not be retarded. On the other
hand they will present a better appear
ance, and If they have been properly
fed, will have a smooth, desirable fin
ish at four months of age. Lambs of i
good quality in this condition com
mand a premium over bucky and un
docked lambs at the markets. Often
times during the period when the Jer
sey City market is receiving large num
bers of lambs from the eastern states, !
lamb prices at that market fluctuate j
sharply because of the high percent- j
age of undocked and bucky lambs
which are discriminated against by j
buyers seeking a high-quality product. ,
MAKE ALL BROOD SOWS WORK |
Properly Managed Animal Should
Produce Two Litters Each Year
Roasters in Demand.
The properly managed sow should
produce two litters a year if the farm
Is equipped for fall pigs. Under such
a system the sow should farrow in
March and again in the early part of
September. A sow that was bced about
November loth will farrow March Cth
to IHh. Iiy weaning the pigs at eight
| weeks of age. the sow may be rebred
j late in May to farrow In September.
In states wtiere the winters are
severe, good houses are necessary for ,
1 the young pigs born in March. Those
coming in September will almost take
care of themselves until cold weather. ,
They are then in need of good care, i
or a large number of runts will re- i
suit.
A good demand exists during
Thanksgiving and Christmas for small
I pigs for "roasters." A farmer in !
J
! northeastern Iowa has raised pigs for
i tli is special market a number of years,
and finds It a profitable means of dis
posing of his fall pigs.
CALCIUM NEEDED FOR STOCK
Cjows, Horses and Sheep Must Look
to Roughage for Needed Supply
? Silage May Answer.
The cow, together with the sheep
and horse, mu.st look to its roughage
to supply the needed calcium. Fre
quently there is not sufficient calcium
in the roughage or the vitamin needed
to make it available to the body is not
present. This vitamin Is present in'
i green pasture at all times. If silage
has been properly made it is possible
^tlmt there will be enough of the vit- ,
! amin in it also to cause the assiml
? lation of calcium. It 13 not well to
count on this, however, for much of
the sileage made at the present time
! Is not properly made.

Damp beds are responsible f>r pneu

The responsibility of animal dis
ease control rests with tlie veterinary
profession, says Dr. R. A. Craig, head
of the veterinary department of Pur
due university.
? * ?
A good ration for a sow with pigs
is 6 parts corn. 3 parts middlings and
10 parts tankage, when on full feed.
? ? ?
Mixed shipments sho\f a greater
number of killed and crippled hogs
and a greater shrinkage than straight
shipments.

The man who consistently follows a
well established live stock system on
his farm is more prosperous than the
man who tries to be in when condi
tions look good and out when they
,ook bad.

This Little One
Had Colic for
Three Months
"My baby suffered' from colic fur
three months and I was afraid I was
going to lose her," writes Mrs. A. J.
Tolbert, of Holley, Fla.. " ut she soon
got over it when I gave her Teethina,
and now I will never be without/it, for
I give it to both my little ones and
it keeps them well."
Colic is a very common complaint
with babies and If not corrected in
time often leads to more serious dis
turbances. Teethina corrects baby's
indigestion, relieves distress due to
an overloaded stomach, cleans out the
bowels and regulates the system.
Teethina can be had at any druz
store or send 30c to the Moffett Lab
oratories, Columbus, Oa., and receive
