HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1950-2-15, Page 6Where The Horses
Wear Wooden Shoes
That's right, horses do wear
wooden shoes in the Low Lands of
Northern Europe.
The continent has a great number
of peat hogs on its Northern fringe
which sometimes spread over sever-
al hundred square miles. These bogs,
or swamplands, are formed by rot-
ting vegetation over a span of many
centuries. They reach sometimes a
depth of several hundred feet. A
man, walking oevr them, has to take
care to keep on solid ground or
he'll sink into the morass, never to
be seen again.
To make use of these areas the
farmers dig a network of ditches to
drain the topsoil. After being
treated with lime and fertilizer peat -
soil becomes excellent grassland. It
also becomes solid enough to carry
a man, though it may feel like walk-
ing over thin ice. However, the
horses will still break through. Here
le where the wooden shoes come in.
Each draft animal, working in the
swamplands, is fitted with at least
one and sometimes with two wood-
en shoes to spread its weight over a
bigger area. They learn quickly to
make use of these rather clumsy
contraptions. It is indeed a peculiar
sight to see a team of horses hobble
along before a big load of hay or
pulling a moving machine, breaking
through every third or fourth step
only to catch themselves with their
wooden shoes, before they sink in
too deep.
You may ask now why they do
not put shoes on all four legs of the
horses and avoid any breaking
through. There is a good reason for
that. The farmers found that a horse
shod all around will knock the wide
elutes against each other and against
its legs and stumble and injure it-
self. So they usually shoe them on
one front—and one hindleg. How-
ever, there are some horses that
aeadily adapt themselves on both
frontle'gs.
What Heather
Meant to Scots
To townspeople heather usually
means a sprig of a tiny white or
purple flgwer worn for luck, or per-
haps the memory
of a Scottish holi-
day when the whole earth was no-
thing but wave upon wave of hea-
ther, varying from pale rose to
deep purple.
Although heather grows in many
parts of England, the name always
suggests Scotland. This is proba-
bly because from very ancient times
heather and Scotland have been in-
extricably mixed, In fact, without
it Scotland could not have existed.
In former times heather was to
the Scot what bamboo has always
been to the Chinese—a universal
provider of everything from shelter
to food.
Fragrant Fuel
When a Scot took a wife and
set up a home he had to build it
himself. .The framework was stout
heather branches.Between these he
built up walls of packed clay and
mud, and then interwove more hea-
ther branches to hold them in posi-
tion. Other branches formed the
roof which was made watertight
by tightly packed knots of heather
roots. In the season the house mer-
ged with the background so that it
invisible even a few yards away.
This was a valuable asset, not
only as a form of protection from
enemies and roving bands of rob-
bers, but as an indirect food supply.
The wild life of the Highlands—
grouse, deer and rabbits—grew up
unafraid and were trapped with
ease,
Inside the cottage, heather pro-
vided cleanliness and comfort, Hea-
ther roots, pulled up and left to
dry in the sun, made excellent attd
sweet-smelling fuel that gave out
far more warmth than ordinary
wood.
Heather Ale
At night the Scot and his wife
retired to e bed of heather branches,
and the springiness of the "mat-
tress" gave them a comfort un-
known in the south for many cent-
uries.
The Scots made their own lea-
ther by tanning the hides of deer
And hares with a strong mixture
of heather and water, and although
the results were crude, the leather
was durable.
vices of heather to the Scot of both
One of the mos' valuable ser -
ancient and modern days was its
attraction for bees and the result-
ing heather honey. Even to -day,
farmers take their hives to the open
moorlands and camp with them
until they have a full harvest of
honey. For centuries honey was the
only sweet food known to the Scot,
and it had a high value eboth as a
food in itself and as a sweetener
for other dishes.
Heather ale, distilled from hea-
ther flowers, was an ancient drink,
but the art of nlal.iug it has been
lost.

meth of Scotland invaded the land

battles completely routed theta. The

PLORT
A SlXBITCIC
The second half of the Twentieth
Century either started on January
First, 1950, or won't start until
January First, 1951. And although
our personal belief is that the latter
asumption is the correct one, we can
think of a heap of things better
worth losing sleep over.
* k *
But there are a whole lot of edit-
ors and columnists who have jump-
ed the gun, and gone ahead on the
idea that this dear delightfurcentury
is already over the hump. So there
have been lists and lists of the out-
standing men and women—the most
memorable events — the greatest
horses — the best jockeys — and
a whole lot more that we have
already forgotten.
* * *
The Associated Press has been
takin polls of sports editors and
sportcasters along such lines, and
the latest news turned loose to an
expectant world is that Jesse
Owens was the greatest track -and
field athlete to emerge since 1900.
* * *
Our own vote would have been
for big Jim Thorpe, the greatest
all-round performer these eyes
have ever had the pleasure of watch-
ing in action. However Thorpe's
1912 Olympic Decalthon honors
were taken away from him on the
grounds of professionalism; and
this angle — also the fact that he
had already been picked as the
greatest footballer — may have
influenced the experts in voting
him no better than second in the
track-and-field. The vote wasn't
even close — 201 for Owens; 74 for
Thorpe.
It would be hard, at that, to find
much fault with the selection of the
tall Negro sprinter as tops. Ever
since sport was organized and stop-
watches were invented, hundreds of
thousands — possible millions — of
athletes, male and female, have
panted and perspired trying to
smash established records. But
— or since — did any
before
one athlete do so much along,those
1' les as Jesse Owens did one after-
noon almost fifteen years ago —
25,1935 to be precise e — at Ann
s
May
Arbor, Michigan, while competing
in a "Big Ten" track and field meet,
* *
Here, briefly, is what the long
brunette actually did before head-
ing for the showers that memorable
day. Competing in the colors of
Ohio State University he tied the
100 yard mark of 9 and 4/5 seconds..
He scampered 220 yards on the
fiat in 20 and 3/10th seconds and
skimmed the same distance over ,the
low hurdles in 22 and 3/5ths. And
somewhere, in among these chores,
he rested up by broad -jumping 26
feet 8 and % inches.
F y *
These last three were all new
world records; and as 200 meters
happens to be a trifle shorter than
220 yards, these times were also
accepted as new world marks for
the metric distances as well. That is
to say, between sunup and sun-
down, Mr. Owens tied one world's
record and .set five new ones — all
of which'were formally accepted as
international standards.
* .k 5 .
And even now, although new and
more specialized crops of athletes
have been hammering away at those
marks for almost fifteen years,
Owens still, at this writing, holds
clear title to the 220 yard, the 200
meter, and the broad jump marks.
So the folks who voted him into
toi' position as a track -and -fielder
assuredly weren't marking their
"X's" for any raw hand.
But if you were to ask Jesse
Owens about it, he'd tell you that
the biggest kick he ever got out of
athletics wasn't what he did that
day over in Michigan. The follow-
ing yeathose great promoters of
international good fellowship known
as the Olympic Games happened
to be held in a place called
Berlin, where a guy named Adolph
Hitler was chucking quite a swell.
k' * x
Mr. Hitler was a strong belieyer
in the moral, intellectual and phy-
sical superiority of the white races,
especially the Nordics, over all
others. The idea of a Negro kicking
dust •in his Heiling heroes' faces
didn't appeal to Adolph a little bit;
and although, he managed to be on
hand with the congratulations any
time were German winners, he was
always out having a snack of liver-
wurst or some such whenever Jesse
('wens hit the wire in front.
k * *
But if Jesse brooded over this
neglect, he didn't' let the gloom
get down into his speedy dogs. And
when the returns were all in and
counted it was discovered that
Owens had copped the 100 and 200
meter dashes, also the broad jump;
and for good measure run a leg on
the victorious 400 meter relay team.
* * *
Putting it all in a couple of nuts
shells, at one time Owens either
possessed outright, or held a joint
share in, eight standard outdoor
records, to say nothing of a whole
mess of assorted indoor marks.
Yee, indeed, anything but a raw
hand was Jesse Owens when it
came to picking them up and setting
them down swiftly.
*
We have already told you that
Jim Thorpe carne second in the
voting; and if you're still interested,
Paavo Nurmi, the Finnish distance
runne:, was in the third slot with
Maxim's Crown—Joey Maxim
of Cleveland hold the trophy
after winning the light heavy-
weight championship by a
knockout over Englanfi's Fred-
dy Tills in the loth rrntnd of
their London fight.
Outrunning His Horse— Jockey J Dowdeswell is thrown
from his saddle in the Newent Handicap Chase run at Chelten;
ham. England. Looks like that 13 on his horse. Cadamatown,
is an unlucky number
a 31 vote total, just one ahead of
Glen Cunningham, also a distance
man,
5 * 5
In fifth place was Cornelius War-
m rdam, whose amazing mark of
15. feet 7% inches is considered, by
many, as the greatest individual
feat ever performed in track. He
had 12 votes, just three more than
Mrs. Mildred Didrikson Zaharias,
Olympic champion and world rec-
ord holder, better known as "The
Babe."
* * *
Seventh position went to Charlie
Paddock the sprinter, who was
followed, in that order, by Gunder
Hagg, Swedish distance man, Bob
Mathias, Olympic Decalthon champ,
and Mr.. Fanny Blankers-Koen, the
swift lady from Holland. It will be
noted that there wasn't a Canadian
on the list, and that those who do
their athleting under the jolly old
Stars and Stripes outnumbeced all
other' by 7 to 3.
* * *
Still, this latter might be partly
accounted for by the fact that vot-
ing experts who do their experting
under the same banner in all prob-
abilit-' outnumbered those of other
nations by an even bigger margin.
TIIUA2M FRONT

An editorial writer in Wallace's
fiarmec asks a question which must
have come to the minds of thous-
ands who have been on the land
during the past fifteen years or so.
with the business of farming be-
coming more and more mechanized.
The question is — WHAT IF
YOU'D KEPT YOUR TEAM?
* *
It's only natural for a farmer to
wonder how well off he'd be if he'd
continued using horses as his chief
motive power. He knows that with-
out a tractor he'd have worked
harder, or needed more hired help.
But what about the comparative
costs of feed for the horses, and
"feed" for the tractor?
*
Well, the U.S. Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics says feed Bost per
head for horses has gone tip 135
per cent since 1935-39. Of course,
a fanner bought his oats and hay
from himself. That stakes some dif-
ference,
But compare this 135 per cent in-
crease in feed cost per horse with
the cost of new tractors—up 66 per
cent. And the cost of gasoline—up
34 per cent And the cost of tires—
up 25 per cent.
k 5
It will be no news to anyone in
the business of milk producing when
I say that milk cows are a whole lot
more work in the winter than dur-
ing the rest of the year. But there
are some of those winter chores
which you can't slow down on, or
cut out entirely, without feeling the
results where it really hurts—in the
old packet -hook, to be exact,
* * *
And if you don't believe this,
maybe the following account of
some actual experiences will change
your mint].
'fake feeding, for instance, Why
not save labor by feeding grain and
roughage just once a day?, Exper-
imenters tried this on a bunch of
Holsteins. Another group was fed
in the usual way,
The twice -a -day eaters took 70
per cent more work. But they ate
10 per cent more alfalfa hay and
turned out 6 per cent more milk,
Even with the extra work, they
showed a 4 per vent income advan-
tage,
So, if you hate the 1 Inc. 50111
want 10 .'I,IItii111e fru ding 1wire
daily,
Georg, Slater and .un gu a clip
farther. 'Their 1lotsteins are fed
1 three thine a day. Corn silage in
1 the morning, with grain. Hay and
silage at noon, Silage and hay again
•
at night, with the second grain
feed.
k * *
What about saving work by once -
a -day milking? Milk yield would be
sure to be disappointing. The often-
er you milk good cows, the greater
their daily production.
* * 'k
Three -time milking has been
shown to yield all the way from 6
to 20 per cent more milk than when
you two-time cows. And four -time
milking adds another 6 per cent,
But most farmers don't favor that
much work.
* 'k . *
And why should they, when you
can get a herd average of more than
600 pounds of fat with twice -a -day
milking? That's what Carl Lueder,
ten the Middle West, did last year.
At 618.3 pounds, Lueder's herd of
grade Guernseys was the only herd
to top 600. His average has gone up
from 492 pounds in 1934.
• * *
A neighbor gave one reason for
Lueder's high production—besides
good cows — when he said: "Carl
just lives with his cattle."
And he does things efficiently.
His 23 cows get rapid machine milk-
ing. There's deep bedding on the
concrete floor. And he hasn't been
buying outside stock.
:k *
All these things have helped. No
calf losses from Bang's, either. "We
vaccinate all -our young stuff," Carl
explained. dm
Lueder.aleo is a great believer in
a regular routine—"so the cows get
to know what's coming."
In winter, that means milking at
six and six;`But, in the morning, the
Lueder herd is out for water during
breakfast, doesn't get silage and
grain until late. "Doesn't matter,"
says Carl, "just so it's regular."
* y, 4,
You can give credit to careful
feeding—along with breeding and
management—for high herd records,
Lueder, for instance, feeds a lot of
silage—about 40 pounds per cow per
day, Silage feeding starts in Octo-
her, runs thru until May.
The Slaters 'tart silage early, too.
vl'his winter, they started with gases
:silage. Later, they shifted to corn

silage (grass freezes more), will

the spring.
* * *
Walter Kruempel has a way of
getting cows to eat more hay. "Feed
them clover one time and alfalfa the
next," he said. "Our Brown Swiss
get 35 pounds of corn silage a day,
No heavier, because I want them to
consume all the hay they will,"
What about grain? Jerry Spencer
cautigned against over -feeding. "I
feed according to production," he
said, "until they get too high I do
everything I can to hold a fresh
cow's production down the first
week or two. And none ever gets
more than 14 pounds of grain a
day."
* * *
Slater agreed. "We don't have as
much mastitis trouble as when we
fed grain heavier," he said.
5 * *
One common rule says 14 pounds
of grain are about right for a cow
producing two pounds of fat. An-
other rule. says one pound of grain
for each two and one-half pounds
of milk with a high fat test, down
to one pound for each four or five
pounds of low -test milk,
* * *
But you can't go entirely by rules.
There's an art to keeping a cow do-
ipg her best.
• "If you see a cow
come in at
night, and slie doesn't look as if she
cares about eating, better watch her
grain ration," suggests Spencer.
Some cows can handle a lot of
grain, some can't."
Protein is important, too. So are
ration "extras." Spencer always
feeds iodized salt, because he's in a
goiter region, Lueder makes regular
use of a mixture containing trace
minerals.
He also feeds a multiple vitamin
.<.preparation. Vitamin D is especially
necessary in winter, when cows
don't get much sunshine. It helps
them assimilate calcium and phos-
phorus.
