If the mares are working hard, a little grain fed the colts will keep them in good heart for wintering over. Brood sows may be inexpensively wintered over in colony if a good supply of bedding is available. Warmer quarters should be provided the stock boar. Exercise for both means better litters. Many good horses are ruined by care not being taken to slacken the ration when the heavy work closes up. Condition lost by cattle being left out on cold and wet nights will need to be made up later by expensive grain feeding. Stabling and yarding should now be the rule on most farms. The young things and dry cows may find some pasture in the fields, but as a rule the "top" on clovers and grasses is needed for winter protection and is better on the plants than inside the stock. Stables should be put in shape for the winter. Do not forget to white- wash the walls and wash the windows to let in plenty of winter sunlight. This job is preferably done after threshing, as the dust from threshing tends to settle in stables, especially of the "Bank -Barn" style, which aro all too common on Canadian dairy farms. Under a barn, and especially when housed with other *animals, is not an ideal place for mileh cows. Select the Breeding Pouilry Knees.

About Install- ing Suitable Equipment. Putting 'Bunning Water In the Home and the Barn --How to Datreiop the Nattwal Water Snpp1,-'- Several Systems Suggested. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto,) N penning this short article the writer desires to stress two main points in regard to this subject, deaf, the need and importance of seeuring an adequate and permanent ,supply, and, second, the installation of suitable equipment for getting the water "on tap" in house and stables and about the lawns and gardens. In regard to the supply of drinking or hard water, it may be said that of late many of the old shallow wells of the Province have been failing ser- iously, thus indicating+rthat the water,. table is not as high as it used to be. It is to be hoped that this is only a temporary coxtditign, and that .many. of these wells will soon become ser- viceable again. However, the shallow well can seldom be relied upon abso- lutely, and so as a rule it is wise to sink such wells deeper. This usually means drilling, Sometimes there is good reason for abandoning the old well altogether and choosing a new site. A careful survey of the existing wells of the district in respect to depth, supply and character of the water will usually prove useful in re- gard to the advisability of drilling, also a knowledge of the nature, depth and dip of the underlying strata or rock formation may help too. Instru- ments for locating underground water, so 'far as our experience goes, have not been a success in this Pro- vince, although much is claimed for them in some other countries differ- ing widely from. Ontario in geological formation. Some individuals claim that they can locate underground. water by means of a forked twig from such trees as cherry, plum, and hazel, and because we have known good wells to be found in this way, and because prominent scientists have given the matter considerable atten- tion in recent years, we are not in- clined to pooh-pooh the idea. In some cases old wells go dry because the water veins feeding the well have become clogged. If so, a charge of dynamite in the bottom will effect a remedy. Sometimes an old dug well will supply plenty of water for all time if it is dug a few feet deeper, or if the formation is sandy or grav- elly (fine) for some depth below the bottom a special filter may be sunk into a water -bearing layer of sand or gravel with good results. It is well to emphasize the value'of a good spring. If one exists reasonably close to the buildings it may be made to supply them with water if certain condition obtain. In every farm home there should be a large cistern either in the cellar or just outside the cellar wall and below the ground for stor- age of rain water, This water can be used for washing purposes. bathing and flushing the closet. A large cis- tern at the barn and connected with the eave-troughing thereon, will sup- ply a large portion of the drinking water for the stock in the rainy per- iods. It is very essential that the supply be ample and never failing, and when this is assured steps may be confidentially taken to install water systems in order to have the water convenient about the home. The second point, namely, the dis- tribution of the water supply, is a very big one, and one about which a good deal might be written. Space will permit only the very briefest treatment, but if more details are re- quired write the Department of Agri- culture, Toronto, Ontario, for Bul-. letin No. 267, entitled "The Farrar Water Supply and Sewage Disposal," or the Department of Physics, O. A. College, Guelph, will gladly advise regarding any problems received by letter. (1) If the well be shallow, that is the level of the water is never more than 25 feet below the surface, qr say the level of the pump cylinder, the pump may be located inside the buildings instead of directly over the well. Greater convenience would be the result of such a change. (2) A small water tank in the at- tic of the house will make it possible to install plumbing fixtures, as sinks, bath and closet in the home. (3) Better than the attic tank sys- tem is the compression system. A strong steel cylindrical tank is locat- ed in the cellar or some frost -proof Place, water is puMsped into it from well or cistern, against air pressure which forces the water to all points where it is required. The pump may be operated by hand or better by gasoline engine, windmill, or electric motor. -(4) If electricity be available the compression system can be operated automatically and the storage tank made so small that the water is drawn fresh from the well instead of from a large storage tank, (5) If a good spring, exists on ground level with top of house or higher, a pipe under the frost -line be- tween spring and house is practically all you need in order to have the spring water on tap. (6) If not l'igh enough for a grav- ity system the spring may possibly be advantageously located for installing a hydraulic ram whichwill pump the water to a tank in house or stable or trough in ya:r•d. It is worth while having pure and cool spring water always on tap about the buildings. The Tall would be a good tune to put in a system so that you will not he obliged to carry water another winter:. First be sure that your sup- ply is ample for alI requirements, and then go ahead with the install- ing of some suitable water system, and do not forget that we are anxious to help. you, -1.. 11.

M ^;,., FOAL CONSTIPATION Retention of the Meconium in Foals Very Comm. Symptoms Described -Anticipation of the Trouble Advised and Mechan- ical Treatment Suggested - Live Stock Notes. (Contributed by Ontario Department of • Agriculture,,, Toronto.) DURIA'G foetal life the liver of the foal is active. It secretes a limited quantity of bile, which after being conveyed to the small intestine becomes formed into dark -colored balls of various sizes and different densities. These pass backwards and occupy the in- testines. The substance is called the "meconium." At birth the rectum is usually full and both the large and small intestine contain a considerable quantity. Under normal conditions a quantity of this substance is voided shortly after birth 'and at frequent intervals afterwards until' it has all beenvoidedand the excreta voided afterwards is of a yellow color. 'The appearance of yellow faeces always indicates that -the meconium has been all voided and that the excreta ap- pearing is the effete material of nour- ishment taken after birth. This con- dition should be present at about 24 hours after birth. In many cases, either through want of.sutncient ex- pulsive force or by reason of some lumps of meconium being so large that the animal cannot force them through the anus, the substance is not voided. Retention of meconium probably causes more deaths in foals than any other condition. 'Symptoms. -The foal -elevates the tail, arches the back, and makes in- effectual efforts to defecate. At first he does not appear to suffer acutely, but as none passes he becomes un- easy, the efforts are more violent and more frequent, he refuses .,to nurse normally, and later on will not nurse at all; lies a great deal evidently suf- fering acutely, beconies more uneasy and weak and dies in a variable time. Treatment. --Sonne breeders give a laxative or purgative immediately after birth ae a preventive. This, we consider, is a mistake, as it often causes acute diarrhoea, which is al- ways serious and often fatal. When we know that the trouble is in the rectum and that drugs given by the mouth have little or no effect upon the contents of this organ, we can readily see that by increasing the actions of the interior intestines, but not removing the cause of trou- ble, is very liable to cause serious complications, in cases, where reten- tion is present., In most cases the trouble can be removed mechanically, by the attendant carefully trimming the nail of his forefinger (in order to avoid scarifying the lining mem- brane of the rectum) inserting the finger into the rectum and removing all of the meconium he can reach. Then giving an injection of a few ounces of Warm soapy water or water and oils or glycerine. This to be re- peated. at intervals of 4 to 6 hours, or oftener if symptoms indicate a neoes- city, until the faeces become yellow. The condition is not so often noticed in foals whosedans have had con- siderable grass before parturition, as in those e of damn who have been on. dry 'feed - CLEARING A'CJCTIQN SALE OF FARM STOCK & IMPLEMENTS HOUSEHOLD EFFECTS-.
