Dudley , has built : i chute Tor dehorning cattle that has proved highly succ-ea-ful , autl a nr.mboi' of cattic.ioi have copied tliy pjan Avilh good results. In seulir.g il lustrations of it to Breeder's Gazelle. Chicago. Mi. Dudley says : I inclose pictures of a dehorning chute designed and built by me jnid ADMITTING THK used here c > n my farm Aith considera ble success for the last five or six years. It has always been with a feeling of satisfaction and pride ( I al most said pleasure ) that I dehorned cattle in this chr.te. ' The views ought to . .how to the aver age intelligent mind all about the con struction and operation of this chute. The cattle enter from the back end of it and pass up to the stocks , then r roi : KELDASE. ( after being operated on ) pass out the exit gate to their right. I use clip pers for taking off the horns , and with help enough to keep the cattle coining r I have dehorned thirty head ( year lings ) in thirty minutes. Live Stock Breeding. Ill breeding all classes of live stock we must ever keep in mind that suc cess will be valued by the actual value of the products and the profits to be derived from I hem. The animal is simply a machine whose duty or work is to convert raw material into finished products. If we can by any means or system of breeding reduce the amount of running expenses of this machine , AVO have accomplished something of value in animal breeding. If we can by any means of breeding so perfect this machine that it will turn out a more valuable product , we have ac complished much. For .illustration , if we can produce a type of animal ( hat can be maintained on less than the average ration it will be more profitable , or if we can produce a meat animal with a larger amount of high priced cuts than the average animal we are selling our raw material in a better market. There is no subject of more vital concern to the farmer'than improvement in his methods of-breed- Ing animals. Ve cannot study .this matter too carefully. We must always liuve utility for our watchword. I * * f CREEP FOR LAMBS. How to Construct One Suitable For Feeding at Small Expense. Tbe co-istructlpu of n creep suitaYu for feeding Limbs is in itsc'lr a very simple affair nncl if only intLMideJ for present use miy be very ehe. jly m\7e. says u writer in IIoic.-teul. T\ > i- something substantial for the four cor ner posts li by * i's will be all right while the side and end r.iils to which the uprights are to be nailed should also be substantial enough to make the creep stable. For the top rails 1 by ( i inch boards will do nicely , and four inch stuff will be strong enough : ; t t'.ie bottom. For the upriglits any light stuff will do. In lieu of othy ! : : . - : to- rial barrrl staves will be desirable , though : ; D old sheep trying to get through may break a wer.lc barrel .st-ive. As to dimensions , two : nul si half feet will be liigh enough. Cut the cor ner uprights this length. The width should be : it least six feet at the bet tom. The sides may be upright and slope toward each other at the top. The uprights could be placed such a distance apart that lamb- ? several ; weeks old r.iny pass through easily , but not old .sheep. Round the cd < * es I of the uprights to prevent pulling the j side wool. In England , where the I creeps are well made , the side rails ' arc heavier and the uprights are put in . as rollers. 1 Place the creep where the lambs may have free access to it. i'lace a low trough in it and keep iu the trough a supply of suitable fond , such as bran , j oats , a little oilmeal and after a few weeks cracked corn. Always clean out the trough daily and supply fresh feed. The Cheap Skctc. Did tho.-e who are running around looking for a low priced stallion to breed to ever think why the horse's fee is low ? It is low because he is a cheap horse. He didn't cost anybody - body much , and lie cannot produce Tiich or he wmld command a higher fee. A srood stallion costs money , no matter what breed or blood he rcpre- ysents. because he can earn money at fair service fees. The low priced stallion nine times out of ten will pro duce a low priced colt , because IIG is himself lacking in the qualities essen tial to produce good horse- ; . Let the mongrel alone. Breed a good mare tea a better sire if possible and get some thing. "The low grade stallion Ins nev er made any money for anybody and has lost thousands for those who pat ronized him. Feeding Hogs In England. In England hogs are given a great variety of feeds potatoes , turnips , carrots , beets , peas , beans , barley and oats. Th < 5 grain is either steamed or ground and the vegetables usually cooked sirnl mixed with swill. Grasses and clovers arc cut and fed during summer time. English hogs tend more to the bacon type than do those raised in America. If lean meat i > wanted. AVO must feed a greater variety and se lect muscle forming foods. O O TEE VETERINARY. Lice on cattle while in the stable cause discomfort and loss of flesh. To destroy them , sprinkle Scotch snuff along the backbone , on the top of the neck and about the horns. Brittle Hoofs of Horses. If a horse's hoofs be brittle and re fuse to grow out , says an old black smith , it indicates an acid condition of the system , with which both hoof and hair are likely to be unthrifty. Frequently a tough hoof may be qtiiek- ly grown by anointing the hoofs and crown of hair just above the hoofs with soft soap or with strong soap and water daily. A Cure For Lampas. Lampas in a colt is a sort of infan tile disease that rarely makes trouble. It is usually cured by daily giving the colt tAvo or three ears of hard , dry corn to eat from the cob until the so called lampas is permanently pushed back. ' Grubs In Young Cattle. Grubs or wolves in the llesh of the backs of young cattle are detri mental to them. Usually they may be pressed out by the lingers unless the ( animals are very much emaciated. In this case wet the spots with kerosene emulsion or brush liglhrly with petro-/ Icum or kerosene. Improve Ihe general condition by generous feeding and care , including a vigorous use of the brush daily. The addition of half a teacupful - ful of oil meal to the daily ration is of great benefit and of profit to the owner. Mange In Live Stock. Where the stock is losing the hair around the eyes and the skin itches and has a white appearance , it indicates - ! cates mange , which ib riore or less con tagious. Apply a lotion made as fol lows : Melt four tablespoonfuls of lard and add to it a tablespoonful of pow- .dercd sulphur , stirring it well ; then half a , teaspoonfnl of carbolic acid. When cold rub on all places affected , being careful not to get it into the eyes. Healing Galls on Horses. For ordinary galls on a norse cleanse with castile soap each night or ofteuer and wet with a solution of tannin , or the powder may be applied dry after the sore has been cleansed with carbol ic soap. If possible do not work the horse while the gall is healing. Galls on top of the neck are often helped by using the zinc collar shield. A h6rse ihowiug a tendency to galls which re fuse to heal should be treated for his general health , Iiis rations changed aad i course of physic administered. Frequently quently this ivill make a decided I : jhange in the Uorse. Dr. Micheuer in ntl tl Journal. i - R M Faddis & Co. PoitnOice address Valentine or Kennedy. branded on Ji ft tliigh.
