KEEP HOGS CALM TO AVOID LOSS and " 4-- 21-2- 2. 4-- 4-- 4-- II Beating or Exciting Animals Is Cause of Deaths. Just because a hog gets pigheaded about entering a railroad car for shipment to market is no reason for the drover to do the same thing. Irritating as it may be to coax and gently urge the animals up the chute, it saves money in the end. Congestion of the lungs Is responsible for 63 per cent of the dead hogs found in market shipments, and is due to overexertion and excitement of the animals before they are loaded. Dont drive fat hogs or sheep rapidly, beat, or excite them, says the Live Stock Loss Prevention Association of Ohio, in a recent statement Haul heavy hogs to market, even in cool weather, and unload them carefully. Drive fat cattle slowly and give them ample time to reach the yards. In summer bed the cars with sand. Dont use clay. And dont put cold water on the backs of overheated hogs. Wet the floor of the car. The association also recommends that the stock be allowed at least an hour, or better four hours, to stand in the yards before they are put into the cars. In hot weather hogs should have water to lie in before they are loaded. Bags of ice hung in the cars will help to keep the air cool, and the drip of melting ice will keep the floor moist. The Live Stock Loss Prevention association is made up of representatives of producers, shippers, packers, railroads and other agencies interested in reducing the loss in transit to market se- For increasing egg production, curing of a finer texture shell on eggs and raising chicks of great vitality, use cod liver oil in the ration for hens, is the advice of Iowa State college poultrymen. Cod liver oil contains the vitamin D which birds get from the sunlight during the winter months Influence of the cod liver oil upon the hatch ability of eggs is still an open question but one which Is being studied in , many places. In purchasing cod liver oil poultry men are advised to get that which Is Unvitamin-testeand guaranteed. tested oils may contain impurities and be low in vitamins. , Dont Overfeed Fowls During Molt Period , Overfeeding during the molt must be avoided, there beiDg a tendency for some hens to increase in weight at the expense of their laying qualities Large quantilies of grain will tend to them during the sluggish the same remarks can be and period, applied to some of the mashes used.

The pollen Is sifted over the patch with every shift of the wind. Id long narrow plantings half of it Is wasted. the chickens are partly grown. After the chickens are ranging move the feed hoppers to a new location once a week. If possible, they should be in the shade at least a part of the day in order to encourage the chickens to eat freely. The water fountains should be so arranged that there will be no permanent puddles of water or mud as these make the finest kind of place in which worm eggs can rest while waiting for some chicken to pick them up. Avian Tuberculosis Is Widespread in the West Avian or bird tuberculosis is widespread. The first case was discovered In a prairie chicken by Dr. L. Van Es when he was pathologist for the North Dakota agricultural col!ege.The latest surveys of the United States bureau of animal industry indicate that 6 per cent of the flocks on physical examination in 28 stqtes showed The disease affects a tuberculosis. greater percentage of the flocks in some of the inlddlewestern states. Avian tuberculosis must be eradicate before tuberculosis is entire y eliminated from hogs. Campaigns are under way in the middlewestern states, where avian tuberculosis is the greatest, to stamp out the disease. Poultry Facts Goose eggs require 30 to 35 days in which to hatch. Eggs are rich in valuable minerals and are a great source of vitamins. Grit in some form is essential to ducks, and should be kept before them at all times. Now that practically all chicks are hatched the male birds should be sold or used on the home table. Practically no male birds on the average farm should be kept more than one year.

Robbins, who has just completed a series of meetings in 19 counties of the state where farmers have been studying big hitches which will enable them to use more horses. The use of horses is attractive now as corn and oats are both cheap, Mr. Robbins states. Some farmers told of plowing an acre or two more land a day by changing their four horses from abreast to two and two, which removes side draught and uses the power more efficiently. There was general agreement that farming with horses is economical both in overhead and upkeep. Some men told of managing their horses so there was no depreciation in teams. They mentioned small investments in equipment for horse farming. Some of the men remarked that summer pasture at night and stalk fields and straw stacks reduced cost of feeding horses to a low figure. At each of the 19 meetings photographs and moving pictures were used to show how teams of from four to twelve horses were hitched to big plows and driven wifh two lines. hibits.

Stomach worms are a serious pest, and permanent pastures where sheep are grazed are very likely to be infested with stomach worms. , When a sheep chokes on dry feed like oats or bran, use a dosing syringe, fill the mouth slowly with water.
