S et ek t f | | t | | GOOD CARE OF WORK HORSE Practice of Turning Animals on Pas ture on Sundays Not Favored— Examine Feet Often. (I;repu.red by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Grass is not a desirable material to serve as the basis of the work horse ration. The practice of turn- ing work animals out on Sundays to eat grass, to which they are unaccus- . tomed, is a prolific source of colic and other digestive disorders. Gen- «rally the animals would be better off in a cool, darkened stable, where they could be carrled on half rations of grain during idleness. ‘Where work horses which are fed a full allowance of grain are turned out to graze each night they usually are in poor condition for work next day, a8 the extra feed they have consumed ‘merely tends to increase the tax on . . their digestive capacity. However, where the stables are hot and illy ven- Horses at Work Need a Ration With a High Percentage of Grain. -Hlated it is preferable to expose the horses to digestive troubles on the -pastures rather than to attempt to -carry them in the barns. The feet of the work animals -ghould be examined frequently during the summer, in order that accumula- tions of dirt may be removed. A few mhoments devoted to scraping out the hoofs ench morning and evening will add to the comfort of the beasts, as , often such foreign materials as nalls or stones lodge in the wall or sole of the foot or are collected in the clefts of the frog or between the bars and the frog. If the hoofs are excessive: see them. N making a selection for your busi- ness stationery be sure that the paper measures up to the standard of your success.

Towa’s hogs are about one- 1y dry or brittle, they should™ be softened with some good oil or hoof ointment, und if they are ragged. or tend to split, they should be rasped on the edges and trimmed until smooth. It is advisable to clip horses when the weather warms up in the spring and heavy work begins. When clip- ped, they work much better, and they do not become chilled after work from having thoroughly soaked the heavy coat of winter hair with perspiration. Horses that are clipped as soon as heavy spring work begins should be blanketed at night. GOOD COVERING FOR SILAGE Run in Cornstalks From Which Ears i Oftice phono 18 B h—-———————. DR. E. H.

Several years ago it was a common practice to cover the silage with some material, such as dirt or cut straw, in order to prevent the top layer from spolling. At present when any provi- sion at all is made foy this purpose it consists usually jn merely running in on top cornstalks from which the ears bave been removed. By this method’ some of the corn grain is saved. The heavy green cornstalks pack much bet- ter than straw does and so exclude the air more effectually. The top is thor- oughly tramped and then wet down. Sometimes oats are sown on the top be- fore wetting. The heat generated by the fermenting mass will cause the oats to sprout quickly and form a dense sod, which serves to shut off the air from the silage beneath, and In con- sequence only a very shallow layer spoils. Whenever possible, it is better to begin feeding from the silo as soon as it is filled; by doing this no cover- ing is necessary and there should be no loss on account of spoiling. IOWA IS LARGEST HOG STATE Bureau of Crop Estimates Places Number at 10,925,000—I1linois Is Placed Next. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) In number of hogs on farms, Iowa is by far the most distinguished state in this country. The estimate of the bu- reau of crop estimates for 1919 is 10,925,000 hogs in Iowa, 5,724,000 in Illinois, 4,943,000 in Missouri, 4,668,000 in Indiana, 4,266,000 in Ohio, 4,250,000 In Nebraska, and 3,043,000 hogs in Georgia. «+.Every other state is below seventh of the nation’s total, and near- ly double the number of Illinois, the state next below.
