Horse  Stays  Poor 
I  have  a  horse  of  good  breed,  weight 
about  1,300  lbs.,  a  good  worker,  but  it 
is  nearly  impossible  to  get  him  fat.  He 
has  not  been  doing  much,  and  the  doctor 
says  he  does  not  have  worms.  In  very 
hot  weather  he  gets  a  rash  on  his  sides, 
('oiild  you  tell  me  what  the  trouble  is, 
and  what  to  feed  him?  I  will  have  to 
work  him  hard  this  Summer.  H.  L. 
Not  every  horse  is  born  to  be  fat.  how¬ 
ever  well  he  is  fed.  Just  as  people  are 
born  with  different  temperaments,  so  are 
horses.  Some  ^are  phlegmatic,  sluggish 
and  esaily  fattened,  but  never  very  am¬ 
bitious  to  work.  Others  are  born  nervous 
(nervo-sauguinious  temperament),  and 
do  not  fatten  readily,  but  are  great  work¬ 
ers  and  willing  pullers.  The  Clydesdale 
is  a  good  example  of  the  drafter  that  has 
a  high-strung  or  somewhat  nervous  tem¬ 
perament.  The  Belgian  and  Suffolk 
breeds,  on  the  contrary,  are  of  phlegmatic 
temperament,  and  usually  keep  fleshy 
despite  an  environment  that  would  make 
the  Clyde  lose  flesh.  Your  horse  may  be 
born  with  a  nervous  temperament,  and 
in  that  case  may  not  put.  on  flesh,  however 
fed.  That  will  also  be  the  case  if  he 
has  a  long,  weak  or  loose  or  “washy” 
coupling.  Such  a  horse  is  said  to  have 
a  weak  middle,  barrel  or  “bread  basket,” 
and  readily  scours  when  driven  or  worked 
until  hot  and  tired.  If  your  horse  is  of 
that  conformation  do  not  waste  time  try¬ 
ing  to  keep  him  in  good  condition.  If 
be  is  of  strong  build  and  good  disposition 
lie  should  soon  plump  up  if  you  have  his 
teeth  put  in  condition  by  a  veterinarian 
and  then  feed  night  and  morning  1  qt. 
of  blackstrap  molasses  diluted  with  3  qts. 
of  hot  water  and  then  stirred  among  cur 
hay,  5  lbs ;  cornmeal,  4  qts.,  and  coarse 
wheat  bran  2  pts.  Feed  whole  or  crushed 
oats  at  noon  and  long  hay  at  night.  He 
may  have  to  be  starved  to  take  the  mo¬ 
lasses  feed  at  lirst,  but  soon  should  take 
it  with  relish.  The  molasses  is  a  great 
plumper,  and  does  not  cause  colic  or  skin 
trouble.  Indeed,  it  is  wonderfully  reme¬ 
dial  for  a  horse  that  is  covered  with  har 
ness  sores  and  run  down  with  hard  work. 
Better  clip  the  horse  in  Spring.  Sheet 
him  lightly  and  shade  his  head  when  he 
has  to  work  in  the  sun,  but  try  to  work 
him  in  the  cool  of  the  morning  and  even¬ 
ing.  Do  not  work  him  between  two  other 
horses,  if  that  can  be  helped.  Avoid  feed¬ 
ing  green  grass  or  corn  during  work  times 
in  hot  weather.  The  molasses  feed  should 
be  discontinued  as  soon  as  he  is  in  good 
condition  and  before  hot  weather.  During 
hot  weather  feed  a  mixture  of  oats  and 
one-ninth  part  of  wheat  bran,  by  weight, 
along  with  good  mixed  hay.  Of  the  mix¬ 
ture.  allow  1  lb  for  every  100  lbs.  of  body 
weight  in  three  feeds  as  a  day’s  ration, 
and  give  a  like  allowance  of  hay.  Increase 
grain  ration  when  the  work  is  hard.  In¬ 
crease  hay  and  lessen  grain  during  idle¬ 
ness!  a.  s.  A. 
Cream  Fails  to  Whip 
I  am  finding  it  impossible  to  whip  fresh 
cream.  Will  you  tell  me  what  to  put  in 
it  to  make  it  whip  before  it  is  old  enough 
to  sour?  MBS.  S.  M.  P. 
For  whipping,  cream  must  be  fairly 
rich,  from  25  to  38  per  cent,  and  it  must 
be  cold,  50°  F.  or  lower.  The  cream 
dish  and  whipping  appliance  must  be 
cooled  long  enough  in  advance  to  bring 
all  to  a  temperature  of  50°  F.  or  lower. 
Fresh,  sweet  cream  does  not  whip  as 
readily  as  that  which  has  been  aged  for 
12  to  24  hours  at  50°  F.  or  lower.  This 
matter  of  ageing  is  very  important,  and 
if  you  can  hold  your  cream  in  the  re¬ 
frigerator  it  should  not  sour.  Some  peo¬ 
ple  add  sugar  and  flavoring  before  start¬ 
ing  to  whip  the  cream.  This  is  not  a 
good  practice,  as  it  reduces  the  swell  or 
whipping  quality.  It  is  'better  to  whip 
the  raw  cream  first  and  add  the  sugar, 
etc.,  afterward.  It  is  also  well  known 
that  raw  cream  whips  better  than  pas¬ 
teurized  cream.  There  is  nothing  that 
can  be  added  to  whipping  cream  to  make 
it  whip  well.  Age,  richness  and  coolness 
are  the  all-important  factors.  j.  w.  b. 
Probable  Cholera 
■We  are  losing  our  old  chickens.  They 
are  dying  from  a  disease  of  the  bowels. 
They  get  a  watery  diarrhoea  and  in  a 
few  days  this  turns  to  green  and  white 
or  yellow,  and  at  this  stage  they  get 
weak,  draw  their  heads  down  and  stand 
around  away  from  the  other  fowls. 
Their  crops  have  food  and  water  in  at 
this  stage.  Some  live  three  or  four 
days  in  this  condition,  others  live  10 
days  or  more  getting  very  poor.  They 
have  a  run  of  two  acres  for  150  fowls. 
They  have  been  on  range  all  of  the 
time.  We  feed  them  cracked  corn  and 
wheat,  sprouted  oats.  For  a  dry  mash, 
we  feed  white  middlings,  bran,  corn 
chop,  oat  chop,  equal  parts,  with  a 
small  amount  of  meat  scrap.  They 
have  been  laying  over  50  per  cent  and 
are  doing  so  now.  For  about  six  weeks 
we  have  discontinued  feeding  the 
sprouted  oats,  as  they  get  plenty  of 
green  on  their  mountain  run.  We  spray 
the  house  with  carbolic  acid  and  burn 
all  dead  fowls,  also  put  any  sick  ones 
off  to  themselves;  have  used  salts  and 
alum  in  mash,  castor  oil,  raw,  per¬ 
manganate  of  potash  in  drinking  wa¬ 
ter;  also  have  used  different  kinds  of 
diarrhoea  tablets.  Nothing  seems  to 
check  the  disease.  It  has  continued  for 
nearly  six  months.  n.  p.  S. 
Your  description  is  very  suggestive  of 
true  fowl  cholera,  a  very  contagious  and 
fatal  disease,  which  sometimes  assumes 
an  acute  form  and  sometimes  runs  a 
more  or  less  chronic  course  over  sev¬ 
eral  months.  There  is  no  cure  for  it. 
All  affected  fowls  should  be  promptly 
killed,  and  buried,  avoiding  the  spilling 
of  any  blood  to  contaminate  ground  or 
surroundings  and  serve  as  a  source  of 
further  infection.  It  will  then  be  nec¬ 
essary  to  thoroughly  clean  and  disin¬ 
fect  the  quarters  and  utensils  used  by 
the  flock  and  keep  them  disinfected  un¬ 
til  the  disease  has  disappeared  from 
the  premises.  For  disinfecting  pur¬ 
poses  a  5  per  cent  solution  of  carbolic 
acid,  or  one  of  the  good  coal  tar  dis¬ 
infectants  may  be  used. 
There  are  other  causes  of  similar 
symptoms,  such  as  the  eating  of  decayed 
meat,  found  somewhere  upon  the  _  prem¬ 
ises,  and  the  existence  of  as  serious  a 
disease  as  fowl  cholera  need  not  be  at 
once  assumed.  With  the  symptoms  de¬ 
scribed  by  you.  it  is  to  be  suspected, 
however.  m.  b.  d.

ORGANIZED 
CO-OPERATION 
A  NEW  BOOK  By  JOHN  J.  DILLON 
(1)  How  has  the  need  of  farm 
co-operation  developed? 
(2)  What  is  organized  co-opera¬ 
tion,  and  how  does  it  differ  from 
the  ordinary  help  of  neighbors 
among  each  other? 
(3)  What  are  the  principles  of 
organization  and  practice  best 
suited  to  success  in  organized  co¬ 
operation? 
(4)  How  may  organized  co-oper¬ 
ation  serve  the  farmer  in  the  mar¬ 
keting  of  crops  so  as  to  return  him 
a  fair  price  and  an  equitable  share 
of  the  consumer’s  dollar? 
These  questions  arc  answered  in 
the  new  book.  It  is  a  logical,  con¬ 
cise  treatment  of  the  whole  sub¬ 
ject.  Every  farmer  should  read  it. 
The  price  has  been  placed  at  the 
cost  of  production  because  of  the 
author’s  interest  in  the  subject.
