LIVE STOCK NOTES. A plight chango In tho ration of the team occasionally will bo appreciated. Look after the horse's teoth frequently. Many a serious enso of tndlgustlon has started hero. A wcll-kopt harness adds to tho appoaranco of the team but It cannot make a poor team attractive. If tho horse's mano Is heavy and Inclined to work under the collar, thin It out. because it will almost certnluly cnuso n soro spot. Sometimes a feed of cabbage Just before using a horse tbnt slobbors from eating clover, will provont the unpleasant loss of saliva. Now. while hogs nro high. Is a good timo to get a start of good hogs. Getting a start of good hogs comes quickly, as they breed fast and mature quickly. A well-matched pair of pure-bred draft mares ought to bo worth, In spite of the autos, $1,000 apiece, and properly bred stallions will bring oven more than this. One of tho largest steers ever slaughtered In tho west was killed at San Francisco. On tho hoof tho steer weighed 2,500 pounds and dressed 1,500 pounds net. For lice on horses, take half a pint of keroseue in two gallons of water, and wash tho horse with this twice, with an Interval of two or three days between tho applications. DISTEMPER IN YOUNG HORSES Disease Is Infectious and Generally Found in Animals Under Five Years of Age. fBY B. F. KAt'PP. COLORADO AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.) Distemper, or strangles. Is a disease principally affecting young horses. It is due to a germ belongingto the streptococcic group. The disease Is accompanied by high fever, catarrhal inflammation of the raucous membranes, especially of the nasal passages, and as a result of this condition, a discharge from tho nose. There Is swelling of the lymph glands under the Jaw. which later results in abscess formation. A horso with distemper can communlcato it to n healthy one. Tho germs are found In the discharge from the nostrils and in the pus from the abscess which forms under the jaw and later breaks. The majority of cases of distemper occurs before tho age of five years. The constitutional disturbances caused by'the shedding of tho teoth. and cutting same, as well as Impure air In poorly ventilated stables, overworked nnd poorly fed animals, nre factors that wenken the resistance and mako Infection possible to produce the disease. The disense is more common in tho spring and fall of the year, partial larly the former, on account of the chill received at these seasons of the year. Tho disease can also be transmitted from dam to offspring through tho milk. Tho animal usually develops tho disease In from three days to three weeks after being exposed to tho contagion. Animals affected with distemper should not be sold. Young animals should not be brought in contact with thoso affected nor watered out of the same bucket, nor come In contact with any other property until It has been thoroughly disinfected. An animal should not be castrated while suffering with strangles. A vaccine made from the specific germ causing this disease is prepared in the laboratory of the veterinary department of the Colorado Agricultural college. ZIG-ZAG TROUGH FOR HOGS Keeps Them from Piling Upon Each Other, Thereby Vasting Much of Their Feed. The Illustration shown herewith demonstrates one way of getting ahead Zlg-Zag Trough. of a hog which is very generally admitted to bo both tiausus! and difficult. A zigzag partition ii nalied, or otherwise fastened to the trough. These boards keep tho hogs from piling upon each other and from climbing Into tho. trough, thereby wasting slop and making feeding difficult. Care of Lambing Barn, One thing should bo remembered ns of great Importance tho ventilation of the lambing barn. It should bo kept reasonably warm, bu tho ventilation mtiHt bo ns nearly perfect ns can be. Lambs nro tender things and quickly suffer from tho ofTects of bad air. Tho barn must be perfectly dry also, as wet, moldy straw or muddy floors will cause disease to attack the youngsters and prevent their proper tart and development.

I WEED OUT GRADE STALLIONS

Education of Average Farmer ns Importance of Good Breeding of Horses Is Slow. to Tho education of tho averngo farmer ns to the importance of good breeding in tho production of horsos makes slow progress. Tho majority and this is not overstating tho fact aro not yet 7X A "Grade Percheron." prepared to pay a decent price for stallion service, preferring to uso scrubs because they aro cheap. Some of the states have passed stallion lnws containing somo excellent features. Wisconsin has a llconse law which prevents the prevalence nnd distribution of grado stallions in tho state. Minnosota has a law framed along the linos of the Wisconsin monsure. Pennsylvania and Utah have adopted similar laws and other states have restrictive measures under consideration. The effect of these law3 is to make the owner of each non-registered stallion declare his horse a "grade." On handbills and posters the fact must bo stated so that no one mny be deceived ns to his pedigree. The situntion abroad Is very much better than in this country. In fact, A "Grade Hambletonlan." practically no scrub, grade nor nonroglstered stallions are used for public service. In the investigations of this matter carried on by Dr. A. S. Alexander of the Wisconsin station it was found thnt of all the stallions In the state CO per cent, were grade bullions and only 40 per cent, pure bred. Some of the specimen horses used for public service nre remarkable exhibitions of wretchedly bred, run-down and diseased animals. Tho pictures herewith are faithfully drawn from photographs of a "Grade Hambletonlan" and n "Grade Percheron" which traveled throughout the state for service. One is 13.3 hands In height and weighs G50 pounds, and he is not tho worst in the lot, by any means. The effect of breeding from such stock is apparent in tho very low grade of horses produced. Water cannot rise above its own level, nolther can a grade stallion raise the blood level of his progeny above that of his own veins In quality. The use of such sires, therefore, means n retrogression and a great damage to the farmers of any stnte. PLAN FOR DEHORNING CATTLE Practical Chute Arranged That Does Away with All Unnecessary Struggle of Beast. In constructing a dehorning chuto no door at the entranco Is needed. When the animnl enters, a stout stick Is thrust behind him Into the clentj one one sido of chute, used to force him into the proper position and then fastened by dropping a pin into tho nearest hole in the specially arranged piece on tho other side. Such an arrangement practically does away with all body struggle. A chute, with tho front as little obstructed as possiblo, makes it easier to induce nn animal to enter. What head movement it Is necessary to subdue after trap Is closed is best accomplished by tying the head down to a ring. Chute is C feet long, C feet high and 3 feet wide. The dimensions should correspond as nearly as possiblo to tho average sized animal, because tho less freedom of movement tho better. The floor is narrowed to 12 Inches, with tight, slanting sides up to a height of three feet Each Jaw of trap Is sepDehorning Chute. nratcd by a lever, and may be secured at any place by Iron pins In holes, bored in tho upper front cross-pieces of ho frame. It Is easy to teach a suckling colt how to drink milk and a quart of warm cow's milk in tho morning will givo It a good start.

The mossenger boy towed the leading lady's pot poodle in front of the big ventilation fan and tied him. "Great Scott, boy!" exclaimed a bystander, excitedly. "Do you want to blow that dog away. Why, that fan i worse thon a cyclone." "Xaw!" snapped tho messenger boy with a pout. "Lot him stay there and get aired. That blooming actress hires mo two hours every day to air her blooming kihoodle, and I want him to get enough of It." Determinlng Sex. Mark Twain says that he has always taken woman's part. "For instance," he reintos. "I once strongly reprimanded a woman out in Hannibal, Mo. Here was the occasion: '"So this is a little-girl, eh?' I said to her as she displayed her children to me. 'And this sturdy little urchin in the bib belongs, I suppose, to the contrary sex?' "'Yassah,' the woman replied. 'Vassah, dat's a girl, too." Everybody's Magazine. An Ungallant Outlook. "Again, tho ungallant outlook of some husbands causes divorce," said ex-Gov. Pennypacker, In a witty afterdinner speech in Philadelphia. "It Is amazing what an ungallant outlook some men have. I said one day to a Ducks county farmer: "'Have you got a wife, Hans? " 'Why, yes, to tell the truth. I have.' Hans replied. 'For the little bit the critters eat, It ain't worth a man s wbilo to bo without one.'" A LITTLE THING Changes the Home Feeling. CofTeo blots out the sunshine from many a homo by making the mother, or somo other member of the household, dyspeptic, nervous and Irritable. There are thousands of cases where the proof is absolutely undeniable. Here is one. A Wis. mother writes: "I was taught to drink coffee at an early age, and also at an early age became a victim to headaches, and as I grew to womanhood these headaches became a part of me, as I was scarcely ever free from them. "About five years ago a friend urged me to try Postum. I made the trial and the result was so satisfactory that we have used It ever since. "My husband and llttlo daughter were subject to bilious attacks, but they have both been entirely free from them since wo began using Postum instead of coffee. I no longer havo headaches nnd my health Is perfect." If somo of these tired, nervous, irr table women would only leave off coffee absolutely and try Postum they would find a wonderful change In their life. It would then bo filled with sunshine and happiness rather than weariness and discontent. And think what nn effect It would have on the family, for the mood of the mother is largely responsible for the temper of tho children. Read "Tho Road to Wellviilo, In pkgs. "There's a neason."
