It is quite necessary to add some of the
above mentioned feeds to get proper
results, even for an economical ration. '
Now then, let us say we have a fairly :
well balanced ration, we then might!
reasonably expect our stock to thrive j
under ordinary conditions, providing it
is free from parasites both internally j
and externally. I feel quite safe in \
saying that most farmers get quite,
careless in this respect, that is, we do
not act in time. We wait to cure rather )
than to guard against parasites, which [
we know all kinds of stock is subject
to. In any case to prevent is far more !
profitable than to cure. The prime -req- :
uisite in successful live stock breeding !
and feeding is to "keep your stock in a j
thrifty condition. This adds to its j
present value as well as to an increase ■
in profits. To do this one must be* ob-!
serving at all times. It is well that •
some of the remedies used for condi-:
tioaing be added to the daily ration, i
As I mentioned heretofore, to prevent;
means more profits. "j
I might name a few of the different
remedies that we haye used  and some
that we are now  using fer that purpose.     For hogs,  to keep them- free
from worms we feed salt,   ashes, charcoal and copperas.    We also spray them
with a solution of Zinoleum once every *
six to eight weeks.    For sheep, to keep '
them free from ticks,   we find that sul- j
phur gives excellent results.     We mix •
one pound   of  sulphur   to   every   ten
pounds of salt.     This not only rids the.
sheep from ticks, but also keeps them '
in a healthy condition.     Salvet is also \
good.    Cattle we spray with krecso two ;
to four times a year, also feed some
sulphur, epsom salts and salvet   All of
the above mentioned remedies are good
and inexpensive.
Now then, taking it for granted that
we have a fairly good idea of what
better feeding and care means as a factor in the building up of better stock,
we then come? to breeds and breeding.
You frequently hear the question,
"Which is the best breed?" There is
no such thing as a best breed. One
breed of animals may. be superior: in
sohie particulars over another breed,
however there is no one breed that can
be pointed out as the one best breed.
Each breed has its strong and weak
features. The plan I might suggest
for improvement is that a man first
carefully study the market conditions
in the vicinity in which he lives. After
he has fully decided upon the business
