February 24, iy(6] <&it? gvgsozv axxXt Qpovi&ntan 9 HOW TO TREAT "LUMPY JAW." It might be of interest to the farmer io know that it often pays him to trea\ his cattle afflicted with "lumpy jaw." This disease, technically termed acti- nomycosis, is caused by the "Ray fun- gus,"' a fungus found on the various awns of grasses and grains. This awn harboring the fungus may then find lodgment in the cavity of a shed milk- tooth or other lesions of the mucous membranes of the mouth, intestines, respiratory tract or skin, there often producing very extensive destruction of tissue and suppuration, eventually leading to a large "lump" from the surface of which oozes a yellowish pus. "Wooden tongue" is a form of this disease affecting the tongue, in which condition we will find the ton- gue swollen hard and stiff and find it very painful to the touch. From our experience we find that when this disease is confined to the head and neck we can generally hope for a cure in the course of a few months or less, depending upon the stage and nature of the disease. When the tongue is affected the liberal appli- cation of Lugol's solution of iodine or tincture of iodine must be resorted to. This should be applied twice daily by means of a small brush. Internally the daily administration of four drams of potassium iodide dissolved in a pint of water should be persisted with for about two weeks, when it should be dispensed with for tnree or four days and again repeated as before. The daily dose can be gradually decreased as we see improvement in the animal. When the jaw is affected commence by cleaning the affected area with a so- lution of one part carbolic acid to 100 of water; then as much as possible scrape out supprating area and by means of a small syringe (hypodermic syringe, if possible) inject liberal ctuantities of Logul's solution of iodine once or twice daily, accompanied by the daily administration of four drams of potassium iodide as above. While this disease is not very fatal, we find that it very materially decreases the value of the animal for both beef and breeding purposes, and immediate treatment is to be encouraged.

There was a belief, time ago, that a three-year-old ewe was the right animal to put with the ram, which should be five years old before it could be safely bred. It was said, in ancient times, that far in the future a thousand years should be as one day, and one day as a thousand years. Com- paratively as this is to be understood this time has come, for in fact thu prophecy has been fulfilled, says American Sheep Breeder. For it comes to the same thing that we may com- municate with another person twenty thousand miles away in a moment, and travel more than a mile a minute. In this age we are pushing things, and lr a colt is fit for the race course at a year old, and the greater part of the world's business is done by youths un- der twenty years old, we may very reasonably push things equally in all matters. Thus in conformity with the modern methods, otherwise, wu may very properly and safely breed the last year's lambs and so largely in- crease the product of our flocks; a full half anyhow. The matter has been settled, how- ever, and has passed the stage of dls^. cussion. At a year old lambs are now sheep. There are plenty of cows under two years old. and market beeves no older. Any full grown man may now remember when a steer was fed five years before it was thought fit for the butcher, but the farmer who should feed any animal in this way now would quickly find his only refuge in the poor house, or deservedly go to the asylum. There is no good reason why last spring lambs may not be bred. It will increase the stock of sheep, which in fact needs replenishing, if it is true that we are five sheep short out of every hundred we had two years ago. But like the growth in substance, as compared with age. we may very rea- sonably breed the lambs of last year and so practically almost double the breeding stock at once. The rest is a mere matter of feeding. HOG FOR MARKET. Breeders of swine will find the fol lowing suggestions from The Swine herd of practical value: The object of hog raising and breed ing is to produce the character of hog that best suits and profits the packer, being the kind of hog that meets his wants and trade. A breeder should have in his mind at all times the pur- pose for which hogs are raised and then improve the breed with this ob- ject in view. The style of hog that best suits the market is not the same to-day that it was 30 years ago. There are changes in the requirements as there are in other things. One man will say it is because of progress!veness, while an other may call that in question. How ever we have to deal with the facts as they are. Forty years ago the farmer required 18 months to market his hogs. The pigs of this year were carried through the winter, with just feed enough to maintain and add some growth. Feed ing was then commenced upon them early the next year and fed heavily as soon as new corn was ready, and put into the market averaging 300 to 600 pounds, according to the feeders' abil ity and the amount of feed used. At that time there was no summer pack- ing. Here is the risk of IS months or disease and the necessary feed to com bat a severe winter to furnish the heat. To-day the hogs can be marketed in from 6 to S months, less than half the time, at an average of 250 to 300 pounds. The expediting of the pro duction of a marketable hog is cer tainly a vast improvement. It is the saving of feed, the saving of risk from disease and interest and time. "We have ample proofs from the tests of the experimental stations of the greater cost of the hog to produce to this age and size, and that it takes a very much greater percentage of corn to produce a pound of gain on a hog that weighs 300 pounds and upwards than one that weighs 50 pounds and upwards. There is a smaller increase in the gains from same amount of feed as the hog grows older and larger in size Therefore, the cheapest meat pro- duction is on the younger hog. "When R. W. Clark of Utah fed a bunch of steers last season he found that they made a pound of gain from 11 5 pounds of alfalfa hay and 31.* pounds of beet pulp at a cost of 2.8 cents. "When the pulp was fed ad libitum with alfalfa to the steers, it had a value of $1.85 and when similar- ly fed to sheep It was worth $1.13 a ton. On a full ration of alfalfa and grainâbran and shorts In equal parts âthe steers made a pound of gain at a cost of 4.93 cents. "With another lot fed alfalfa, grain and beet pulp, a pound of gain cost 3.98 cents. "When a full ration of alfalfa and pulp with a half ration of grain was fed. a pound of gain was made from 9.2 pounds ot alfalfa, 2.03 pounds of grain and 19.1 pounds of pulp, the cost being 3.51 cents. When a full ration of grain and pulp was fed with a half ration of alfalfa, a pound of gain was made from 4 28 pounds of alfalfa, 3.65 pounds of grain and 21.3 pounds of pulp at a cost of 3.84 cents. Molasses In small quantitiesâfour ounces a head dailyâ fed with eight pounds of grain and beet pulp ad libitum had a value of $2.36 the ton. $1.25 $1.00 ,75 .50 .35 .25 Rock Island Sheep's Wool Sponges, in all sizes, for vehicle washing and harness cleaning.
