Many of us go to extra pains to I know from personal experience that a medicine chest equipped for first aid is necessary on a successful livestock farm. While it is a grave mistake for a farmer th attempt all of hia stock doctoring, yet oftentimea he can prevent a lot of trouble if he knows how and what to do until the veterinarian conies. You can handle• alight injuries or sicknesses, but call a competent veterinarian for major operations, severe injuries, and in all cases of infectious or contagious dis- eases. I want to tell you in this article bout the instruments and material you may find useful. What you need most depends upon the. kind and num- ber of stock you keep. Keep all instruments and supplies in a convenient place where they will be safe from frost, direct sunlight, da.mpness, and dust. I keep my surgical instruments in a chamois bag or in special cases, and I keep them as sharp as possible. You know, a dull edge causes a lot of pain. To sterilize an instrument, boil it for fifteen minutes or more and after asing, clean, disinfect, and dry before putting away. On large stock farms the medicine chest should hold the follovring sup- plies: Bandages—These should be of ster- ilized gauze and unbleached muslin, two to three inches wide and three yards long, rolled ready for use. Derby and flannel bandages are used on horses' legs. Bull Rings—These are made of gun metal, jointed, supplied with screws, and should be filed smooth before they are put in the animal's note. Cotton—Sterilized cotton comes in rolls in sealed cartons and is needed as covering for wounds, compresses, and swabs. Dekorning Shears, or a saw may be used for this purpose. Dental Instruments --Rasps or "floats" for removal of sharp points from molar (grinding) teeth will be found useful. Forceps—Artery forceps are neces- sary to stop serious bleeding, and ob- stetrical forceps for the delivery of pigs, etc. Gloves—tubber gloves should in- variably be worn when removing a re- in which infection may occur. s_ If we compare the lot of the cats aa feed the calves more grain than they Knives—A special knife for tile ea • require for best results..

WINTER AGEMENT OF BROOD SOWS The winter quarters for dry brood sows need not necessarily be warm. All they require is a dry, storm and wind protected place to live in. It is preferable to have it opening to the south. Dry brood sows do not appear to suffer from the cold so long as they have quarters well bedded with straw and are at liberty to roam about the barnyard for exercise. At the Ontario Agricultural College the dry brood sows are wintered in an open shed facing south with the front closed in, to within four feet from the ground.1 The shed is sixteen feet deep, ten feet high in front, six feet high at the back and thirty-eight feet long, and, comfortably accommodates twenty ma -I ture sows. They are given the free- dom of a yard and so long as they, have plenty of bedding are quite cona-' fortable. The litters come strong and healthy, and the sows are in satis- factory breeding condition. In the event of no shed being avail- able an A -shaped hut or portable pen can be used to very good advantage. As with the open shed they should be well bedded and located where there is no danger of the floor becoming damp. A brood sow must be allowed to take exercise; if she does not take it of her own accord, soma method of in- ducing her to do so should be prac- ticed. Exercise promotes good health in the pregnant sow arid ensures strong litters where the sow has been properly fed. Brood sows in winter should get a variety of feed, including some suc- culent feed which can be readily found in mangels or sugar beets. The ma- ture brood sow will relish a small am- ount of roughage, red clover hay, or The amount of her be determined by size. Barley and makes a very suitable mixture to feed. Corn may be fed in a small proportion during the winter months when the sow is running outside. Owing to its heating nature and lowness in muscle and bone -building constituents, corn should be fed sparingly during the lat- ter part of the gestation period. If dairy by-products, such as skim milk or buttermilk are available, they gam be fed economically during the winter months. A brood sow should always have access th some mineral mixture while she is in winter quarters. During the winters of 1921-22 and 1922-23 experiments were conducted at the Ontario Agricultural College to determine the cost of maintenance of brood sows. For the experiment 9 brood sows divided into three lots, were used each year, and were fed for 71 days in 1921-22 and 66 days in 1922-23. In each case one lot was put on a ration of concentrates, sldm milk and roots and the other two lots were fed a smaller ration along with man - gels and either alfalfa, hay or corn silage. The following is a synopsis of the experiment of 1922-23 which, in re- sults, duplicates that of 1921-22 quite closely: of escaping You may butter her one pound of clear glue, previously' Vs. 37, 38.
