MOULDY SWEET CLOVER
May cause Dikease or Death to
Live Stodk.
Symptoms of the Trouble• --Cattle

*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.

"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

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. Stev
enson, Sec., Dept. of Agriculture.

CROW'S 'NEST.
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

To -day the •,whole :' valley, two miles wide, is a tempestuous
white stone blocks, chaos, es

and s'harp•. corners. They arepiled from edges
