(Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) THE observance of the laws of health, so vital to the well- being of man, Is regarded even In this enlightened age, with considerable Indifference in the treatment of animals upon whose good health that of man him- .â- â™¦elf depends to a considerable de- gree. That animals are not more affected by disease, of some form or another, to a greater extent, is purely providential, for the sanitary condi- tions under which they are often reared Is of the worst. Why this apathy concerning the state of the stables. In which frequently valuable animals are housed, is difBcull to un- derstand, since cattle, any more than man, cannot maintain their health and vigor for long in such unfivvor- able conditions; yet the stockman who keeps cattle for profit must know that to gain maximum returns for his investments and trouble, aud to guard against loss from disease and death reasonable care and com- fort ai;d sanitary conditions are necessary. The first considerations lo this end are ventilation, liglit and cleanliness. These essential elciiient.s of sanita- tion should be attended to at least once every year. This may be most conveniently done during tlie early fall before the catfle are housed for the winter. Effective ventilation is rcQuired to cany away the foul air and maintain constant and adequate supply of fresh air. The window space should be ample .so that every i coiner of the interior may bo flooded with light and siin.shinc, the souico of health and destroyer of germs. Dirt aud filtli make productive breed- ing places for insects and bacteria. OloanlinesH gets rid of conditions which produce lUem and prevents tho possibility of Infection and coiilagion, reducing possible loss from disoe.se lo 'a iiiininiuni. That much-dreaded disease, tift/ci'culosis, is in a measure tho product of dark, dirty, ill-venli- lated stables. It is caused by organ- ism or germs gaining entrance into the animal'.s s.vstem with tho food. It ii! not easy to detect, and u.':tially u'heii symptonis become evident it is too late to apply any remedy, hence the necessity of making every effort lo secure ;nid nuunlain sanitary con- ditions in the stable. Kvory fall, ll'.cn, the stable should be systeniali- cally cleaned; cobwebs swept from v.all and ceilings; accumulated dirt and debris cleared from manger, I rough, window-sills aijd all rocessea in walls; the fresh air intakes and foul "air outlets put in order; fill all cracks! and holes In floor uiul walls with ceincnl ; replace e.ll broken glai-s in windows and clean then'; disinfect tho whole stable thoriiugiily v. iili some i^ood disiiU'ectanl, such as chlor- ide of linii', crude carbolic acid, or zenoloum, which can be easily applied Willi a Kcrnp pump or a watering can Willi a lino nozzle. Give particular attention lo pens or stalls which have been occupied by fUock suffering from contagious dhsrease or have boon used by animalH duriii!; I'artiii ilion. Then inepare your whit wash and ilon'l postpone it .because you do not |)o.';,.jess a Ij/rrel hpraying ouliit. The white iva.':li brush Is an cffeafive and cfllcie'it tool â€" use it. Small brushes are best and may take you a little longer lime to do. Thero are many Kood whitewash recipes. I'resident lirant used the following to wliite- wanh tlio White House in Waskini,'- ton: Take a bushel of unslaked lime, shike Willi warm water, cover it dur- ing tliq process lo retain tlio sloaiii, train the liqiud through a line sieve or strainer; add a peck of salt, the same previously well dissolved in warm water, add three pounds of ground rico boiled to a thin paste and stir in boiling hot, add one-half pound of glue which has been pre- viously dissolved over a slow ll<i-8 and add five gallons of hot water t» th<' niixtiire; stir well and let it tuar.d tor a few days, coviiing it up to kt ep out dirt. It should be put on hot, One pint of the mixture, properly aji- lilied will cover a square yard. Thero is nothing «iiii compare with It tor outside or inside work aad it retains its brilliancy for ninny yours. !»!«â-  infeclunt may be added or coloring nialter may be put in and made lo any hu<^ desired. â€" Prof. J.

Fiance has 2,366,000 fewer cattle than in 1914; Italy, 906,000; Den- Mark, 34r>,000; Sweden, 599,000; iertuany, 2,200,000; and Auslrla- lungary, considerable. These tigure.'i lone show a decrease of 6.308,000 Jiead of cattle and many countries which have suffered ure not named. The Blieep decrease in France, Italy, Denmark, and ITollund alone is over two aud one-half millions, and in pigs there has been a v.iudo- sale decrease to tho number of 24.- 952,000 In France, Italy, Denmark, Hwcden, Holland an. I flermany. Den- mark, Canada's (irongcsl competitor on tho Hiili.sh baton market i.3 1.873,000 short of a normal supply of pigs. Oermany is 19,396,000 short of her 19 It hog population. Tlie.se figures should prove Inter- esting to the Ontario live stock breeder. Ueserve,s of food material iu the world are very low .Slock with which lo increase these re- t.8rvca iu not up to normal nuin- irically. Indications are that a good dtnuiud must continue for tho ftn- tshed product of the farm.

In order to lay well a hen requiri'S a, surplus of food above body main- teaanca. That is a hen must ho ir; good flesli, not thin. A good la;.iiii; hen is seldom very fat. The yolli of an egg contains considerable fat. Tho white is mostly muscle forming food and tho shell largcfy lime. Thert must be a supply of these over and above what is required to daily main- tain (ho body. In summer a ^ca eats tender gra.s:i or Kieen shoots, some whole grain, geuoraliy souio ground grains, usual- ly v/oriiis or insects, pii^ks up some grav*. 1 or old plaster, and in doing so lakes exercise. If she kas to hunt «i.ll day for *hese, at limes slic does not lay very well because she i:4 worlJing hard getting something to eat. Wo are feeding now, at the O. 4. College a grain mixture of at>out the following: Seven parts of cracked Corn, two parts of barley, two parts of Kood oats, one part buckwheat, and three parts of feed wheat. Thi.s is fed in deep litter night and morn- ing, the heus going lo bed wllh a full crop. During cold weather it is advisable to feed a miiclure of nearly halt corn or buciwlieat. A hen will do a lillie belter on such f«ed. A mixture of two or three kinds of grain gives variety. At noon, cooked waste house scraps, such as potatoes, cabbage or other vegetable trimming, together Willi liie table scraps, make a good foundation for a wet mash. These scraps are beat fed in a crumbly slate. Dry them off^Vvith whatever chop you may have. A mixture of shorts, barley meal, and oat chop In equal parts, is very good. Wo use a dry mash wliich is fed in hoppers. This is in front of the birds at ail times. We are using Oovernment Standard Hog feed. We have used in previous years, very successfully, rolled or crushed oals. These ground grains should con- tain flfteeu to twenty per cent, of high grade tankage or beet scrap. Where milk is given as drink no meat scrap would be necessary. lie sure to supply grceu and suc- culent feeds, such as waste cabbage, roots, clover leaves, or sprouted oats. There is an art lo teedins- When feeding the whole grain night and luorniug watch the birds icralch. If they are very active foed liberally; If eoniewhal indiflerent ease off in ihe amount for a feed or so. Keep :he litter clean and aweot. â€" I'rot. W. H, Grahaui, O. A. College.
