THE "GEAM ADVANCE
MOLDY FORAGE THE SHEEP AS A
POISONS HORSES SOIL CONSEflVER
During the last live months numerous
reports have been received by the
United States bureau of animal indus-
try relative to the existence of forage
poisoning ixl yerious sections of the
United States, particularly in Louisi-
ane, Weet Virginia, Kansas and. Ne-
braska. It has nearly always oc-
curred. when a hot, dry period has
been followed by rains or during wet
seasons, especially these which are
characterized by frequent rains alter-
nating with het sunshine, producing a
damp, sultry atmosphere. Such condi-
tions are most favorable to the produc-
tion of molds, and all outbreaks that
have been investigated by the bureau
have been traced to the eating of un-
sound or moldy forage feedor to the
drinking of water from wells or pools
containing surface water drained
through decomposed and moldy 'vegeta-
tion. This disease has been shown to
be also due to eating damaged ensilage,
hay, corn, brewers' grains, oats, etc.'
Horses and mules at pasture inay con-
tract the disease when the growth of
grass is so profuse that it mats to-
gether and the lower part dies and
ferments or becomes moldy. No specific
organism or; virus has yet been found
which can be considered as the cause
of this disease.
The so • called cerebrospinal menin-
gitis of horses being an entirely dif-
ferent disease from that which occurs
in man, the symptoms ad well as the
cause are distinctly different, In the
most rapidly fatal attacks death takes
place in from fire to forty-eight hours.
Such eases begin with violent trem-
bling or stupor and extreme weakness
or with staggering gait, partial or to-
tal inability to swallow, impairment
of eyesight, followed by partial or com-
plete paralysis, inability to stand, with
marked delirium, during which the
animal lying flat on its side becomes
violent and knocks and bruises its
head. In the second form of the dis-
ease the same line of symptoms may
be noticed in a milder degree. Difl1-
culty in swallowing, slowness in chew-
ing the food and inability to switch
the tail are observed, Breathing be-
comes heavy and noisy, and delirium
may develop with stiffness of the spi-
nal muscles or partial cramp of the
neck and jaws. Death occurs in from
six to ten days.
The first principle in the treatment
of this disease consists in a total
change o2 feed and forage. Horses
kept in the stable should be fed with
sound forage and grain from an un-
contaminated source, even if such feed
has to be brought from a distance.
Horses that have ,become affected
while at pasture should be removed
from the field in which they have been
running. The animals should be
brought to the barn or corral and fed
on wholesome and clean feed and for-
age. The water, unless from an un-
polluted source, should likewise be
changed.
At present this preventive treatment
is the only satisfactory method known
for checking the disease, as all medic-
inaI remedies used have been unsatis-
factory in the vast majority of cases.
The first step is to empty the bowels
and remove the poisonous products,
but on account of the difculty in
swallowing an aloes ball or glauber's
salt is hard to give. In fact, no rem-
edy should be given by the mouth if
the throat is paralyzed. as pneumonia
is liable to result. Fifteen grains of
barium chloride injected into the jugu-
lar twin or two grains of eserin under
the skin, if the animal is not too great-
ly depressed, will usually act prompt-
ly. Intestinal disinfectants such as
Salome], salicylic acid and creolin are
also used. If much weakness is shown
and the temperature is below normal
give aromatic spirits of ammonia, dig-
italis, alcohol, ether or camphor. Rec-
tal injections of warm water are good,
and warm blankets wrung out of hot
water may also be applied to the body.
Subsequent treatment should consist
of two grain doses of strychnine twice
daily or a mixture of two drams tinc-
ture nux vomica and one-half ounce o1
Fowler's solution given at one dose
and repeated three times daily to com-
bat the effect of the poison upon the
nervous system.- United States De-
partment of Agriculture.

of waste and rubbish in a cistern big
enough to hold a horse until the
whole cistern mass smells like a dou-
ble distilled abomination is practically
obsolete. Fresh, 'wholesome food is
'what we must use, and we must take a
little trouble in the preparation of it
also, says W. H. Underwood in the
Rural New 'Yorker. X find wheat, bar-
ley meal and such like thoroughly
scalded an hour or two before being
fed make the feed go as far again and
increases its digestive properties. Well
scalded meals are mare readily assimi-
lated by the animals, and the stomach
and digestible tract are more responsive
to their influence than a hastily mixed
liquid mess of raw meal and cold slop.

Sheep have maintained a constant,
steady importance in the agricultural
welfare al Michigan, writes Roscoe
Wood in Country Gentleman, Of all
the afl'rieultural states Ohio alone has
exceeded Michigan in the number of
sheep maintained and produced with,
in her borders. The man who has had
an average sized farm has considered
a flock of sheep just as important to
the successful conduct of that farm as
a team of horses or a cow. He has
depended upon his wool clip .for reve-
nue just as he has upon his wheat crop,
He has calculated upon his lambs just
as he has upon his pigs. That this
method has proved profitable is attest-
ed by the financial, condition of ouch
farmers and by the fertility of the
soil.
If there are two things more than
any others that have induced the
efiehigan farmer to keep sheep they
are the farm labor problem and the
value of sheep manure in maintaining
the fertility of his farm, Many are
the farmers with 100 to 100 acre
farms who do their own work with a
little day help in the busiest times. Ten
or fifteen years ago they kept one and

Writing of his success with. 'Tunis
sheep, J. N. McPherson, a New
York fanner, said in Rural New
Yorker: Their hardiness to me
seems wonderful, as during the first
five years' experience with Tunis,
both pure and cross bred, we hat]
never lost one through disease or
sickness -in fact, not even had one
sick --while our Shropshire grades
were constantly dropping away
without warning or apparent rea-
son. We have the past two years
lost a few, but nearly all by acei-
dent. They are a very quiet sheep.

fairly good shearers, and we get

ers and, while not so large as
many of the mutton breeds, will
easily lead them in duality of mut-
ton and profit to the owner where

t7ltate Agricultural college.
the year. To such farmers the flock
brings much revenue with little labor.
From the time the sheep go on pasture
in the spring uutii they go into the
barn in winter they are manufacturing
fertilizer, and they are putting it right
where the farmer needs and wants it
Here is what one man told ale whsle
I asked him, "Have sheep helped your
farm?" "Well, I guess so. They've
just about made it. When I came here
1 could hardly raise anything, end
now I can raise just as good crops as
any man, and it isn't much more than
Half as hard."
The methods followed by these farm
ors with their flocks are at once ,int
pie, economical and profltable. Few
of the younger men conduct their
farms without sheep. 'There are two
seasons of the year when they buy
their ewes -lo the early spring, just
before lambing and shearing, and
again in the fall, before breeding,
when come the culling and reducing
of the flock to its usual number, lade
necessary by the retention of the best
young ewes of the last year's lamb
crop. Buying in the spring brings
quicker returns. Buying in the fall
requires less initial capital and per-
mits• opportunity for better selection
and direction of the breeding. Fall is
generally considered the beginning of
the year for the flock. The breeding
season begins some- time in October
and ends in November. During this
time the flock is ou good timothy or
blue grass pasture, and if teed is
short a little grain --a half pouted a
head each day of oats and corn mixed
--is fed, so as to keep the ewes in
good thriving condition during breed.
Ing. Many fanners, however, feed no
grain at this time. Practically all the
labor required is to feed this grain
and keep the flock out of long, cold
rains.
Most or these farmers prectiee n
