Retained Afterbirth.
This de a matter which many eteck-
men do not regard with due serious: -
netts, possibly because they have not
had an opportunity of observing: the
various 'evile resulting from the fail-
ure of h cow to clean 'properly.,
When any great portion, of the

calf, there usually develop a varied
*alit of symptoms, which 'Ere Very

which oftentimes results in dee* and
there also amusy tirnes results' a ster-
ility or barrennesa of the cow follow-
ing a retention or any of these symp-
toms that we have enumerated here.
A portion of the afterbirth may re-
main after the cow has apparently
cleaned normally and we sometimes
find shreds oz portions remaining
after it has been removed by inexperi-
enced men, or sometimes when the
veterinarian has removed it.
When the shnples catarrhal dona-
tion of the uterus follows this reten-
tion, the tail and estutcheon are soiled
'with a mass of filth which is composed
of pus and dirt and when the cow is
in the recumbent position a quantity
of pus is usually noticed to flow from
the vagina. Such cows in a herd can
usually be detected front the ceder of
this discharge alone. Milk from a
cow in this condition should not be
used for human consumption. Now,
as a matter of fact, a veterinarian
can do littlein the way of treating
this condition, unless he , is called
early, as the mouth of tee uterus will
contract so that it is impossible to

ould be a very serious condition

With the resulting cachexia that
e'spoke of, the cow gradually loses

petite and she will not respond to

.adually grows weaker and becomes

ar or so she regains some' of her
rmer health but this is unusual and
e -generally wastes away and dies
it few weeks.
In other cases the cow absorbs these

ndition is known as septic metritis

eaking, an inflammation of the

In my experience it is usually best
to wait for about forty-eight holt% in
most 'breeds of cattle before removing
the afterbirth, and in many cases it is
good policy to wait many times for
about seventy-two hours. It is prad-
tically safe to wait in any tow for at
least twenty-eoun houra.
Many people are of the opinion
that there is some way of preventing
their retention, and that there 4s also
some remedial agents that can' be
given that will cause the cow to pass
them, but there is none as far as I
have ever been able to learn.
Bleck Heart of Potatoes.
Shippers of potatoes, rushing po-
tatoes to marlcets, often in poorly
equipped cars or under conditions
when excessive firing of stoves in the
cars exhausts the air and generates
a high temperature in the tightly
sealed cars are someihnes sorely die -
appointed 10 the appearance af black
heart in the tubers close to the stove,
this disease the potatoes become
onky black in the hearts and are
worthl,oss for food or planting.
Pits which are opened late in. the
spring', and tight 'cellars where the
temperature is high, often -*ow this
sante disease in the potatoes stored
under the unfavorable tonditions.
The disease is of the nature of an
asphyxiation of the cells of the tuber.
Due to shortage of oxygen brought
about by the lack of ventilation plus
the increased call for oxygen brought
about by the warmth, conditions are
set up leading to the death of the
cells at the heart. These Moor parts
to which oxygen is not availeible, die
and subsequently blacken.
The disease is a serious one and
every effort should be made to prevent
loss. This means careful planning of
shipments and of storage conditions.
It is now fairly definitely known under
what conditions the breakdown ahurs.
If potatoes are put at ninety-eight
degrees F., blood temperature, over
night, under conditions where oxygen
is scanty in supply, black heart fol-
lows. Lower temperatures such as
sixty to seventy degrees F. will also
lead to black heart if the ventilation
ik poor, but the reaction is much slow-
er in taking place.
To prevent loss it -et necessary to
follow this rule for potato storage,
keep the tubers -cool, well ventilated,
and dry.
Black heart potatoes make poor
seed stock since they tend to rot
quickly.
I remember When I took the halters
off my horse by unbuckling the strap
that went over the head. It is still
done this way on many farms, so I
want to tell you a much ensier way
that I and dozens of other'formers
use.
Have a b!g snap on the end of the
throat latch, and snap it in the big
ring that is sewn into most halters.
Then ales the head strap off over the
horse's ears. It is much quicker and
easier to do it this way, and works
in the dark in half the time. Furth-
ermore, When the halter is adjusted
for a certain horse the snap keeps
that adjustment, while if you un-
buckle it every time you may use one
hole to -day and another one the next
thne.
I have also saved much bother wine
letting horses out in the yard to exer-
cise by having a snap on the end ef
the rope or strap that the horse is
tied wjth. There are many different
kinds of snaps, and I like the ordinary
bolt snap the least of all. A snap
with a spring like a harneas snap is
much better, and the twisted wire
snap is best of all, because it is al-
most impossible to lose it.
Work of Live Stock
Branch
Poultry culling demonstrations that
have been carried on by the federal
Live Stock Branch have clearly prov-
ed that it is possAble to take out from
forty to sixty per Cent, of theasOcle
in the average farm flock and' still
leave the farmer with as many eggs
per day as he was getting before. The
value of this knowledge to the earns-
ers of Canada can hardly be over-
estirirated.
An equally Valuable service of the
federal Live Stock Branch be the
grading of market wool. According
to the Repottsoi the Mieistor foe the
lista/ year ending 1018-19, aPproxls
/stately 4,550,000 pounds of wool were
systematically graded and sold co-
opetatively.

The leg weakness in poultry is
usually caused by heavy feeding
which has caused them to grow more
rapidly in weight than they have in-
creased in strength. --This seems to 'be
a form of paralysis and the mild cases
rapidly recover, while the others show
an increase of weakness and emacia-
tion until the bird dies. The sick
birds should be isolated where they
can be fed away from the flock. This
is not because it seeing to be con-
tagious, but the bird will not be .able

fowls. Rheumatism might cause
similar symptoms but in such cases
the joints will be swelled and hot. In
leg weakness there seems to be no
other symptoms but the weakness and
inability of the bird to stand. As far
as we can 'eve, no ,germ that causes
this disease has ever been isolated.

Growing Potatoes Under

The practice of growing Irish po-
tatoes under a straw mulch is ex-
Allent for email areas, The potatoes
are planted at the -usual time in shal-
low rows two inches deep. The inulch
of straw, leaves, or straiwy manure
is spread over the ground to a depth
of five inches, about the time the
plants come through the soil: The
tubers are formed partly in the soil
and partly in the straw. They are
easily harvested, are clean, and keels
well in storage.
The mulch protects the roots and
tubers and ho/ds the soil moisture
No cultivation is necessary after
planting, and therefore the rows may
be placed as close as two feet.
