Your animal exhibits signs of a cold and sore throat, which 
ordinarily occur from catarrhal fever; there is an internal swelling and 
inflammation of the throat, the animal's appetite is impaired, choking 
often follows^ eating, and the milk supply drops considerably. Be¬ 
cause of this impaired appetite, the animal is usually unwilling to con¬ 
sume medicine-doctored food. Right here Dr. David Roberts’ Fever 
Paste overcomes the danger. This honeylike preparation is com¬ 
pounded of ingredients that heal and soothe the mucous membrane, 
and powerful and reliable germicides that have a tendency to over¬ 
come the germs that cause distemper and catarrhal fever. Thus the 
swelling and soreness of the throat is reduced, the animal soon regains 
its appetite and consumes its food without danger of choking to death.

W. E. Skinner. Secretary of the Na¬ 
tional Dairy Council, spoke on “Publicity 
and Marketing of Milk and Dairy Prod¬ 
ucts.” His main theme was better team¬ 
work in the dairy business in a publicity 
campaign showing the value of pure 
standardized dairy products. This is the 
work of the National Dairy Council. The 
re.sult of onr work has been wonderful. 
We have proved that we can overcome 
prejudice against dairy products by a 
jniblicity campaign. Dealers advertise 
that only their methods can give the con- 
sumer.s pure, safe milk. This does not 
increase consumption of general market 
milk, which, they say, is unsafe. Teach 
the public the real quality and nourish¬ 
ment in milk, and it is good economy to 
use good milk liberally. 
We now are paying the cost of feeding 
two peoples. I’liirope and ourselves. 
Conditions are abnormal. We should 
jirepare for resumption of the normal, 
when prices will be lower, and we need 
to make a home market for dairy prod¬ 
ucts. Teach onr people the economy of 
dairy products and prepare to give them 
the best. 
Commissioner of Agriculture C. S. Wil¬ 
son spoke on “What the Breeder Can Do 
for the I.ive Stock Interests of New 
York.” He thought the county fair could 
be made an important factor in breeding 
better stock. Let those who have good 
stock exhibit it at their local fairs. It 
is of mutual interest to the exhibitors 
and to the public to exhibit. Neighborly 
cooperation promotes the breeding of bet¬ 
ter stock. Such exhibits improve the 
reputation of the locality for breeding 
good stock, and advertise it to buyers. 
By the help of the farm bureau agent 
arrange the exhibit. It is a question 
whether the professional exhibitor has not 
been useful in teaching the amateur how 
to prepare exhibits. I^ocal clubs with 
Summer field meetings also help to edu¬ 
cate farmers along the lines of scientific 
breeding. 
H. E. Babcock, of Ithaca, N. Y., ad¬ 
dressed a special meeting of the New 
York Breeders’ .\ssociation. He repre¬ 
sented the Farm Bureau Association. He 
told how tlie association stands Toady to 
aid farmers in tlie sheep business. The 
farm bureau is ready to cooperate with 
the farmers in obtaining more adequate 
legislation, especially protection against 
dogs. 
Assemblyman D. P. Witter, of Bork- 
sliire, said he had come to learn the 
wishes of the Sheep Breeders. “We 
have,’’ he said, “only one-tenth of the 
sheep now we had 50 years ago, and there 
seems to be a need of a revival of sheep 
husbandry.” 
He said we sliould develop the sheep 
industry up to a level with other lines of 
farming. With sheep given a right place 
(in the farm there is less danger of an 
overproduction of market milk and other 
products. The sheep we are keeping, ac¬ 
cording to statistics, are giving 20 per 
cent, net profit, with minimum labor cost. 
He said there will be no opposition in the 
Legislature to satisfactory laws f#r sheep 
protection. The peojile should know the 
facts about sheep destruction by dogs, of 
instances where they have put sheep men 
entirely out of business by destroying the 
whole flock. Tax reports from many sec¬ 
tions h.ave been : “No sheep kept; dogs 
killed them; farmers got discouraged.” 
The cost of keeping dogs will be high- 
priced clothing and woolen goods, as there 
is no wool to import during war times. 
IMr. Witter road some extracts from the 
“Sheep and Animal Protection Bill” now 
before the Legislature. The bill, he said, 
will be pushed and effort made to place 
it on the statute book before Spring. It 
will be the province of the Commissioner 
of Agriculture to enforce the law. 'The 
result of the discussion was the appoint- 
inent of a committee of three from the 
New Y^ork State Breeders’ Association to 
confer with the Chairman of the Wicks 
Committee to prepare the final draft of 
the bill. 
I‘rof. R. W, Duck, of Syracuse Uni¬ 
versity, gave some facts from experience 
in feeding garbage to hogs, and the value 
of nitrogeimns supplement. He said 
some hogs fed on garbage, in a large 
way, as hotel, kitchen and farm wastes, 
have not grown well, or have been dis¬ 
eased. On the college farms our main 
trouble has been constipation. Generally 
the protein content is low and needs to 
be supplemented. One essential is to 
feed only what the hogs will eat up at 
^me time. We collect the garbage from 
the college dormitories, city hospitals, 
hotels, etc. We try to arrange that the 
soapy substances, fish and chickens are 
left out, as being injurious. It is thinned 
with water and fed in clean troughs. We 
have added such nitrogenous grains as 
oil meal and some meat scraps. In our 
experiments one pen was fed garbage 
alone and others varying amounts of pro¬ 
tein food. The pens contained five pigs. 
One pen having the nitrogen supplement 
gained about 200 pounds more than those 
having none. The increased profit was 
^6.12. We proved that the garbage feed¬ 
ing of hogs can be made profitable. 
The subject “Draft Horse Breeding in 
the East” was presented by Wayne Dins- 
more,_ Secretary of Percheron Society of 
America. He said: You are producing 
only about one-tenth of the horses used 
in New York. Modern machinery calls 
for heavy horses, but you are not raising 
them. The automobile has destroyed the 
market for light driving horses. Horses 
are still indispensable in economic farm 
management, and the future horse to 
breed is the utility farm horse—the draft 
horse that can be kept on the farm, do 
the farm work and raise a colt every year. 
You can d(> more work, and do it more 
cheaply, with the draft horse weighing 
not less than 1,,500 pounds, and, bi'sides 
doing more and bettor work, yon can 
have a regular income from colts you 
raise. The army wants draft horses at 
large prices. This is a large part of the 
farm income in the Middle West—selling 
the .surplus draft hor.sos. Got in vouv 
mind the standard for the purebred draft 
horse and breed from the stallion that 
comes the neaiv'st to it that is available. 
I’erhaps community breeding can be prac¬ 
ticed, if one farmer cannot afford to buy 
the best type. Breed your best, sound 
mares to these, if yon can not afford to 
buy a purebred mare. 
Ilarry B. Harpending, of Dundee, was 
elected president; Albert Brown, of Syra- 
cn.se. was reelected .secretary, and Wing 
R. Smith, or Syracuse, treasurer. 
Some of the resolutions passed were 
one urging that the sheep protection bill 
now before the Legislature speedily be 
made a law; asking the Legislature for 
an appropriation to build a horse build¬ 
ing on the State Fair Ground.s, and one ' 
ff)r an appropriation to investigati' bean 
diseases. The I’esult of discussing the 
matter of holding a Winter fair for live 
stock and farm produce in connection 
with the annual meeting of the State 
Breedei’.s’ A.ssociation was the appoint¬ 
ment of a committee of three to confer 
with the State Fair Goinmission to con¬ 
sider the question, and if they decide to 
hold the fair to make arrangements for 
it. Much time was given to the discus¬ 
sion of sheep husbandry in New York, 
and the feeling seemed to prevail that it 
is an opportune time to revive this neg¬ 
lected industry, which is becoming more 
profitable with suitable conditions.

Feeding a Colt 
Wc have a seven-weeks’-old colt which 
must be_ brought up by hand. We have 
hay which is partly clover, and cow’s 
milk to feed it. Will you give directions 
for proper grain rations for promoting 
growth and keeping it healthy? 
Tnlly, N. Y. f. w. m. 
Sweet skim-milk, fed from ve.ssels 
kept scrninilously clean, and in moderate 
amount, is an (‘xcellent food for colts 
two months of age or older. In addi¬ 
tion, or as substitutes, oats, win', t bran 
and oil meal are the most suitable grains. 
If kept in a low box where they can 
reach it, c Its will begin to nibble at 
grain at three or four wet'k.s of age and 
will eat it in inen'asing amounts as they 
grow older. A good mixture for young 
colts is crushed oats or corn, four parts; 
wlieat bran, three parts, and oil meal, 
one part. GikkI clover or mix(‘d hay 
should be kept within the colt's reach, 
and plenty of clean, pui-o wat(>r .shonhl 
he given. Like all young animals, colts 
should be fed with judgment, giving all 
that their appctiti's dtunand, but avoid¬ 
ing overfeeding jind sudden <‘hange.s in 
their rations. A litrh' and often is far 
better than a large (inantity at long iu- 
terval.s. As a colt should make half its 
growth in the first twelve months, its 
food should be ample_ in quantity and of 
the best quality; scrimping then cannot 
well be made up for later. A little ob- 
.servation will teach one the amount that 
a growing colt needs to satisfy its appe¬ 
tite and needs, and care will obviate the 
danger of over or under feeding.

Animals that are full of worms can’t thrive. 
Not only that, but they are liable to contract 
dangerous disease — infect your entire 
herd and finally be the means of wiping 
' out all your livestock. Again, — 
feeding worm-sick, worm-in¬ 
fested animals is like throw¬ 
ing high priced feed away. 
The worms consume more 
than your live stock. That’s 
why they won’t gain; why_ 
they are rough coated, stunted, 
unprofitable. They need a worm-destroyer and conditioner 
Saves your stock from 
the ravages of bBood- 
sucking, disease-breed¬ 
ing, feed-eating worms 
It saves your feed—makes your stock thrifty, healthy, profitable, by ridding them of these 
pests and letting them get full benefit of their feed. SAL-VET is the medicated salt which 
has saved thousands of dollars for farmers — not only saved their animals, but saved feed, 
time and labor, so often wasted on worm-sick stock. You ought to protect yourself 
against such loss. Let me show you how surely and cheaply you 
can do it with SAL-VET.
