Symptoms of the Trouble• --Cattle May Bleed to Death--RTreventing the Mould --Good Sweet Clover *Contributed by Ontario Department of ,Agriculture, Toronto.) 1 Reports of serious sickness occur- ring amongst the cattle being fed upon sweet clover have been received at the Veterinary College. The dis- ease which is now frequently spoken of as "sweet clover disease," or "sweet clover poisoning," made its first appearance, as far as is known during the winter' -'of 1921-22. The Symptoms of the Disease. The presence of large and small swellings in different parts of the body is usually the first thing which attracts attention. These swellings are generally located along the back, over the shoulder joints or between the thighs. They vary much in shape and size and may form quite slowly or with marked rapidity. They are rarely painf>i, and when opened are found to contain either blood or a veto* yellow fluid_ The affected animal does not appear to be very sick and either stands or lies in the accustomed way. Food may be taken iu small quanities, but the appetite is not good. The outer part of the eye is very pale, so also is the lining membranes of the nose. The swell- ings which are so characteristic of the disease are due to an escape of blood from the vessels. The small arteries and veins have become weak- ened by the disease so that rupture is made easy. In another form of the disease the blood loses Its power of clotting so that animals may bleed to death af- ter giving birth to their calves. In one instance a farmer had branded his cattle by clipping a strip of skin from the border of each ear. A11 of the animals would have bled to death bad not the hemorrhage been stopped by ligatures. Damaged Sweet Clover Dangerous. In all the cases investigated the sick animals had been fed sweet clov- er hay or ensilage which had been damaged by excessive heating or moulding. Sometimes the change produced in the hay has bean so slight that the farmer has either not seen it or has thought it, to be of no consequence. , It is frequently diffi- cult to make the owner believe that such slightly damaged food is respon- sible for the serious disease of his animals. The Prevention of Mould. Whether the mould which is so generally found in the damaged feed is the ultimate cause of the disease is not a matter of great importance. Its presence is a danger signal which must be heeded. It can be said with certainty that if the hay shows no mould in the mow, and the ensilage no mould in the silo, that either can be fed with safety. How then can the mould be prevented? For the most satisfactory methods of culti- vating and harvesting the reader is referred to Bulletin 296 of the On- tario Agricultural College. Apart from the moulding which may occur in the field due to damp -weather, or in the mow due to insufficient curing, there is another way which must be considered. It is the development of mould due to the moist air- rising t,ii•Jugh the ceiling of the cattle stable below and settling out on the bay in the mow. This, 'I feel sure, has been the cause of mouldy hay in several eases. It must be prevented by 'either atight ceiling or patting a straw bottom in the mow. Com- mon salt seems to be of real value in checking the growth of moulds in the hay mow. From fifty to one hundred pounds is required for each ton, and this must be sprinkled uni- formly .through the hay while it is being spread in the mow. Good Sweet Clover Harmless. Many exlaeriments have been con- ducted in the feeding of samples of good and bad sweet clover to calves and rabbits. The animals receiving the damaged food almost always be- came i11 and died. In no case has there been any sickness in the ani- mals fed upon good sweet clover hay or ensilage. In one experimenttwo calves were fed an exclusive diet of good sweet clover ensilage over a period of six weeks and both remain- ed well. Rabbits have been fed on samples of bad sweet clover hay which were taken from the same hay mow. Those which received the good hay lived while those which received the bad died. In Conclusion. The use of sweet plover for hay is risky, because y, b cause if moulds and other organisms grow in the hay it may become a highly poisonous food. 'The ten cent instrument, 'so fre- quently peddled at the country fairs, which is supposed toserve half a dozen purposes from opening tin cans to drawing a three inch screw, rarely does more than two things well, and that is all that should be expected for the money,'. Sweet clov- er •has proved to be an excellent soil- builder, a good ensilage crop, and to make valuable pasture. Why en- danger the reputation of a useful plant by requiring it to accomplish that for which it was apparently not intended.—Frank W. Scofield, DV. Sc., Ont. Veterinary College, Guelph.

"FEELING" FOR LAYERS This Method Is About as Certain as the Trap Nest. Experiments With Capons — Feeding Costs- Akcellent Flesh Produced Without Confinement — Handling Baby Chicks. (contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) The writer carried on a series of experiments with poultry when, eon- neoted with the Agricultural Experi- ment Station for Vancouver Island, Sidney, B.C.,and presents the follow- ing notes as among those worthy of consideration: DETERMINATION OF EGG -LAYING A test was made of the feeling method, to determine its accuracy. Thirty hens that were under trapnest record were subjected to the feeling process for eight days: January 17 to 24. The results of "feeling" were checked up and tallied perfectly with, the "trapnesting," indicating that it is quite possible for any careful per- son to determine which hens.are lay- ing' by feeling the bird for the presence of the egg in the oviduct, in the early morning before she leaves the perch. The method also has an advantage in that it elimin- ates the necessary confinement of the birds in a "trapnest" for a period which is frequently longer than is actually required to produce an egg. The great disadvantage of the feeling method is that it is imprac- ticable for pedigree breeding, inas- much that the eggs from individual birds cannot be recorded. CAPONS. Thirty cockerels were operated on when twelve weeks old. These birds were a thrifty and well -grown lot, overaging 2 y pounds in weight. After caponizing, they were kept un- der the same conditions as the cock- erels. The feed cost for a pound in- crease in weight was slightly less for the cockerels up to six months of age. At this time the cockerels and capons weighed the same. These birds were killed for Christmas trade when 264 days old, and weighed, plucked, 8 pounds 2 ounces. The percentage of offal was low, being but- 18 per cent, of •the total weight. The birds were not crate fed, but were finished on .a liberal milk ration. The quality of the flesh was excellent, and the wholesale price received was 30 cents per pound. The advantages of caponizing are that an excellent qual- ity of fiesh can be produced without confining the birds in small feeding crates and the tender flesh can be retained to a greater age and weight. The cockerels made dust as good gates, and when milk fed in crates for two weeks, produced the same high grade of flesh. Following is the feed cost of an eight -pound two -ounce capon: Feed cost to rear to end of third month • Feed cost to rear during fourth month Need cost to rear during fifth • month . Feed cost to rear during sixth month Feed cost to rear during sev- enth month Fend cost to rear during eighth month Feed cost to rear during De- cember, 20 days 21.54c. 16.2 13.17 21.2 21.3 2. 14.4 Total feed cost g1 31?a, These birds were sold for $2.43 each wholesale, leaving $1.11771 per bird: From this we can deduct 20 cents, the price paid tor the bird as a day-old chick, and have 3. cents per bird for labor and shelter. HANDLING- BABY CHICKS. In another experiment a thousand one-daybild crnieks were procured from two reliauie local breeders. The first day they remained in the incu- bator, and ou the second day they were transferred to:. -the brooder, but were not fed until forty-eight hours old. The following hints on general treatment are given: Do not chill or overheat the chic- kens, or disastrous results will fol- low. If they pant they are too hot, and if they huddle together they are not warm enough. Do not overfeed during the first week. Change the water daily and see that it is perfectly clean., Give plenty of green food. Feed sour skim ' milk wuenevei possible. Do not 'forget to supply charcoal grit, and' shell. Make all change of food and feed• ing gradually. . Clean and disinfect brooder often Denot use damp, mouldy feed of straw. ` Never . allo'w chicks :to crowd it brooders or colony houses. •- Place chicks on the iange•in colons houses, after •the eighth week: Do not let the cockerels and ,pulleti run together on the range, -.-L.

ON THE WAY TO CROW'S NEST—THE HIGHEST WOODEN BRIDGE IN THE • WORLD. • Rolling up to the Crow's Nest Pass are olive green foothills without a tree upon them—natural cattle rails clothed with succulent short grass. Here are seen occasional outcrops of rock, which in their four or five" feet of ' height show all the characteristics of a mountain range; miniatures hof'' the Rockies, with crag and precipice and col reproduced on the smallest slrIv. With a bag of salt one could lay on glaciers, touch the peaks with white and have a toy range which any Eastern schoolteacher could set up in her class- room with advantage to herself and her pupils. Canadtans east of Medicine Hat know too little about the construction of this Continent and about the glorious engineering of Nature. Consider the Crow's Nest itself. The namebriiigs before some of us a schedule of railway -rates; to others, a series of coal mines. These are deriv- ative impressions. The original Crow's Nest is a mountain rising to 9,000 • feet and more above sea -level' and visible for many miles. The rock -peak, as one looks from the foothills is set lake a fuzzy, round crow's-nest on the sky -line. Leading up to it ae the olive-green billows fading into a soft, blue haze. In the distance near the peak is a snow-white precipice, which they tell us is two miles wide and a mile, high. It is all excellence and loveliness one travels twentyuntill. It is therock-face miles farther. Then it gleams like the fangs of a wolf, rock face of Turtle Mountain, cleft fro the destruction of the minin g e 'ten ` ofm top to bottom in 1905to . Frank.
