TWO NEW YORK JERSEYS. 
Fig. 583 and 584, show a registered 
Jersey heifer and her calf. The heifer 
is King Hugo’s Wanda 212480. She was 
making a pound of butter per day before 
she was two years old. I bought her 
when about eight months old. Her sire, 
King Hugo Pogis 32504 is a son of the 
noted King of St. Lambert 15175, who 
is sire of about 30 cows with records 
from 20 pounds to 25 pounds 12 ounces 
butter in seven days. Wanda’s calf was 
sired by Buttercup Bonanza 82072, thus 
making him very rich in the blood of 
producing ancestors. His name is King 
of Hill Crest. He has been shown once

only, viz.: at Morris, N. Y., when a few 
days over four months old. and'compe¬ 
ting against calves considerably older, 
lie won first prize. The dam has never 
been shown, as she thus far keeps too 
thin in flesh, her food going to milk. 
She was two years old June 7, 1909, 
calved in May, and with hill pasture and 
very little grain made a pound of butter 
per day before two years old. She is 
still holding out well and when mature 
promises to make a grand cow. She is 
one of a herd of ten (the others are all 
grade Jerseys), from which we are mak¬ 
ing butter for private customers, thus 
dispensing with the middleman. Prices 
received for butter from January 1, 1909 
to date present, have ranged from 29 
to 35 cents per pound, averaging almost 
31 cents. The skim-milk is fed to hogs 
matter is dumped and covered closely so 
that very little ventilation is secured, 
certainly it would not be a proper place 
to keep pigs. On the other hand, if the 
pit is built on a level with the ground, 
with the south or east sides mostly open 
in Summer and closed only by a cloth 
screen in cold weather, it can be kept 
in a sanitary condition with very little 
trouble. Only horse manure should be 
put in the pit, and enough pigs should 
be kept to prevent the manure from 
heating. I would not compel the pigs 
to remain on the manure all the time in 
warm weather. Overlays should be 
made large enough for a bed for all the 
pigs. These overlays can be laid direct¬ 
ly on the manure if necessary, and care 
should be taken to keep the whole place 
in as sanitary condition as possible. A 
dry bed must be provided at all times, 
and the whole place cleaned out fre¬ 
quently, especially during warm weather. 
There is much more danger in keeping 
pigs on horse manure in warm weather 
than there is in the Winter. If possible, 
pigs should have the run of a good open 
air yard in warm weather, and by us¬ 
ing a little care they can be profitably 
kept on horse manure in Winter.

Blackleg. 
Last Spring I started to raise four calves. 
Holstein grades. They were fed alike all 
Summer; all were kept in the same pasture 
and all appeared to be in a healthy condi¬ 
tion. One morni'ng about two weeks ago, 
when I was letting the calves out of the 
stanchion, I noticed that the head of one 
was swollen only on the left side, and under 
the jaw water was running from the mouth 
and eyes, and the calf breathed as if it 
had a hard cold. In a short time the 
water stopped running from the mouth 
and began running from the nose. The 
swelling was very hard, and one of the 
hind quarters was swollen. This too was 
very hard. The calf did not appear to bo 
in much pain, but the second day the hind 
quarter which was swollen looked bloodshot. 
The calf was not skinned but buried. At 
this time the calves were running in the 
meadows days and kept in the cow barn 
nights. They were all fed alike, all the 
sweet cornstalks they would eat three 
times a day. 1 lost one last Fall in much 
the same wav and have heard of one or 
two others. What is the disease, is there 
a cure, and is it contagious? l. w. a. 
The disease is blackleg, and it is con¬ 
tagions and virulent. There is no cure for 
the disease. Give the calves an entiVe 
change of pasture and feed lightly so as

and calves of which $88 worth have been 
sold and we have four hogs and one calf 
on hand. The boy holding calf has been 
with us about two and one-half years, 
is an orphan and a very good boy.

KEEPING PIGS ON MANURE. 
Is it a good plan to keep young pigs shut 
up in a manure pit? It stirs up the 
manure, but how about the pigs? I have 
heard of one man losing three lots of pigs 
kept in that way, and then he gave up the 
practice. I was about to try it hut am 
dubious. M. 
Bedford, N. Y. 
The feasibility of the plan of keep¬ 
ing young pigs shut up in a manure pit 
depends entirely upon how it is done. 
If the pit is an. underground hole into 
which all kinds of manure and decayed 
to keep the bowels open. It will be wise 
to at once have all of the cattle under one 
year old vaccinated with anti-blackleg vic- 
eine. Any graduate veterinarian can do 
this for you, and it is a reliable preventive 
measure. a. s. a. 
Mean Horse. 
I have a very bad horse. When I work 
it steadily I can handle it, but when it 
stands idle a few days I cannot do any¬ 
thing with it. It kicks, strikes and 
plunges, and acts so mean that I cannot 
do anything with it. Is there anything I 
can give this horse to make nim act de¬ 
cently, so as I can drive it and get rid of 
him ? g. n. 
Pennsylvania. 
If the horse is young, an experienced 
horse breaker might give a course of 
training which would “break” him to act 
decently in harness. It does not pay a 
farmer to fool with such a beast, and' we 
do not instruct relative to “doping” a mean 
horse so that he can he sold. If he is 
worked hard every day and is fed sparelv 
he doubtless may be made to do profitable 
work during the remaining work season of 
the year; after that he may be disposed 
of for what he will bring to some one who 
likes to handle such fractious animals.
