TO LAMENESS IN HORSES LEGS Farmers Watch to See Which Side Animal Brings Down Hardest, Then Examine Other Limbs. Try Horse on Hard and Soft Ground-Front Foot Proves the Most Susceptable to Trouble. Beginning with this issue the agricultural department will print a series of short articles on the detection of lameness and unsoundness of horses. The facts of diagnosis and definition are taken from 'a -well known medical authority, and are considered accurate by horsemen and veterinarians. Criticism of farmers is invited, and other methods will be printed if mailed to the Farm Service Department of the Palladium. Lameness is defined as any irregularity of the gait regardless of the cause or degree. It is not hard to determine the fact tbat a horse is lame, but cases often occur when the lameness Is so slight that it is difficult for even an expert to locate it or even be sure that the animal Is lame. One of the most common errors is that of locating the lameness on the wrong side. This is easily avoided if one will remember that the head and weight of the body usually come down most noticeably with the sound limb as an Illustration, a horse being lame in the left front leg, the drop most often being Indicated by the nod of the head. It is usually conceded that the trot is the best gait for diagnostic purposes, but the movement should be studied both at the walk and trot. To Detect Lameness. The animal should be tried on both hard and soft ground, and on a side hill. If the lameness Is in the foot it will be most warked when the animal travels on hard ground. But if the lameness is in the shoulder, It will be most noticeable when he travels in deep mud or snow. In examining an animal, he should first be observed unblanketed in the stall, making him step from side to side, noting how he stands at rest. Then the horse should be taken out and observed while walking and trotting, coming toward, passing and Koing 8 way from the observer. It. is especinlly important to observe the head and hips of the animals, in solving the first problems of locating the diseased limb. It should always be borne in mind that the front foot is an especially common seat of lameness. Poultry Hints Too much glass in the henhouse is not an advantage. Hens do not need heat so much as they do an even temperature. Many large glass windows raise the temperature materially during the day: at night they radiate heat, lowering the temperature of the room. If every third window is removed and the opening covered snugly with burlap or unbleached muslin, a thermometer will prove that the temperature of the bouse is much more even. Of course the building must be snugly built and free from draughts, and the roosting space must be snug and not too large. But hens need fresh air as much as they do warmth and sunshine, and this the cloth covered windows furnish without allowing a draught to blow over . the- fowls. Don't let any cabbage or other roots go to waste; in fact it is quite worth while to raise them especially for the hens. Tie a stout string around the roots of several cabbages and tie them up In the henhouse so that the hens can Just nicely reach them. It is Interesting to see how ejioited they get over picking away at th delicious green stuff; a continued performance of this helps to fill the egg basket. PRESERVING FEED The silo is not the only way ot preventing title usual loss from the corn fields, but it to the only way, and the best way for preserving the feeding elements of the corn plant. The silo adds nothing to the feeding nutriments. On the other hand, there Is a slight loss through fermentation, but It does increase the palatabillty greatly. EXECUTOR'S NOTICE.

Effects of Manure on Different Soils

Many experiments have shown that barnyard manure is one of the most effective means of increasing the productiveness of swamp or muck soils. This is thought to be due largely to the increase of available - nitrogen brought about by the application of the manure. , Decomposition takes place slowly in heavy soils, and the constituents of the fresh manure becomes available very slowly. In light soils, on the other hand, unless the season is dry, the conditions are such that the manure decomposes readily, and the fertilizing constituents are probably rendered available as fast as the plant needs them. There is considerable danger on this class of soils that, some of the soluable constituents will be carried away in the drainage if well-rotted manure is applied. For this reason such manure should be applied to light soils shortly before it is likely to be needed by the crop. In general, it may be said that for spring application the more readily available rotted manure is preferred to the fresh, unrotted material. On clay soils it often happens that manure produces no effect whatever WAR MAKES DEMAND FOR BETTER HORSES Good Mares Used in Farm Work Should Be Bred to Good Stallions. During the next decade there probably will be an increased demand for American horses in the countries now engaged in the European war. The demand may even continue much longer, according to investigators of the United States department of agrir culture, as not only will horses be needed for armies, but when peace is restored more will be needed for agrl

horses in this country and Canada, and there is an increased interest in many sections in horse breeding. To meet this increased European demand American farmers may well endeavor to raise well-bred horses, although the department of agriculture does not advise them to purchase a surplus of horses merely for breeding purposes. It merely advises that ordinary farm work should be done whenever possible by good mares, which should be bred to good stallions. It also desires to emphasize the fact that only horses of high quality may be profitably raised today. Inferior horses are a drug on the market, and their production is to be discouraged as much as the produc- i tion of good horses should be encour aged. The United States has previously been drawn on to supply European countries at war. In the Boer war 100,000 horses were bought here by the British government. It may be doubted whether a foreign govern ment could obtain a similar supply in i this country, except at excessive coBt. However, if farmers take pains to utilize their good mares during this winter to breed them to good stallions, in the course of several years (time enough for the foals to develop) America will be better able to meet the European demand. JACKETS NEEDED The dairy division of the department of agriculture has just completed a series of tests on the change in temperature of milk Jn cans during transportation from the farm to the consumer. Thes tests established the importance of Jacketing cans of milk with some appropriate insulating material. It has been found that milk that hag to be sent only short distances or preserved for only a few hours should maintain a temperature of less than EVER HEAR

Phagocytes train their heavy siege guns on the Disease Germs; send them scattering all ways of the wind, and thus keep the blood clean and pure' thereby making man sound and healthy, and enabling him to endure and resist to the uttermost. In crude rubber, of course, there are no Phagocytes.

PEN SMALL CALVES This article refers to calves that are running with cows, not calves that come from dairy stock and have 'en weaned. The calf that runs with" its mother during the winter needs a little attention if a perfect growth is exDected. Calves should be housed at night, 1 e8Deciallv if the weather is cold, wet I gets used to oil meal it will eat it greedily. A little every day is the proper manner to feed oil meal. A variety of rough feed should be given the calf. Naturally alfalfa is one of the desirable rough feeds. Corn fodder, etc., can be mixed in with the alfalfa occasionally. Calves should be bedded at night and have warm sleeping quarters. If the calves are well treated during the winter months the farmer will have some nice animals to turn into his pasture when grass comes the following spring. 50 degrees.

Tree Surgery as Science Every Year More Generally Appreciated. A cavity in a decayed tree is somethinK like a oavitv in a decaved tooth If an unreiiable tree surgeon who has Deen called in to saye the tree onl par. tially removes the diseased part of the wood uses no antiSeptic coatings in tne cavit and fnla it with cement the tree , no more cured thsm l8 a i r.prenn wHnc.

As in all professions, there are re- ' liable and unreliable men and firms J ill L 1 1 1 1 1VJ1 v wi 1 1 1 t v, L.j ' ' - gery. In recent years so many occasions have arisen when property owners felt the necessity of calling in commercial tree surgeons to attend to their trees that there are now numerous firms, both honest, and dishonest, engaged in the work. Usually tree surcerv is practiced in connection with some nearly related line, but often it is taken up as a business of itself. whether an affected tree should be destroyed at once or is worth treating. It requires scientific training to understand the manner of growth of the fungi causing the disease and what treatment is best. Many individuals who have had faith in tree surgery have lost it through following the advice of unreliable tree surEeons who claimed to be able to diacnose a case, but whose main in-1 terest was to collect a good sum of money for their work. Besides the careless filling of decayed cavities in trees, there are other practices of certain so-called "tree surgeons that ao tne trees more nariw j than good.

year, and 6,000,000 bushels In excess of the five-year average. The total wheat crop, as has been states in previous reports, is the largest on record. The recent report places the yield at 892,000,000 bushels which is 129,000,000 bushels over last year's bumper crop. The report estimates the yield of potatoes at 382,000,000 bushels. This is also an increase over last month's estimate and is 50,000.000 bushels larger than last year's crop, and 25,000,000 bushels over the fire-year average. The estimate on the yield of apples is 230,000,000 bushels, and on tobacco !54,000,000 pounds. In Indiana according to the reports, some marked improvement has- been made in the yield of crops compared to last month's report. The yield of corn in Indiana is given as 165,000,000
