DEATH OF FAMOUS JERSEY BULL.HONXEK or omustThe famou* Jersey ball. Pioneer of Oakland*, died in Mississippi, U.S-A-, recently.Pioneer of Oakland* was born in 1925 in tlse famous Oakland* stud of Mr. J. A. Pcrrcr. St Saviour. Jersey. He was by You’ll Do's Volunteer, a see of the world-renowned sire, Jersey Volunteer,| and his dam was Oxford Pansy of Oak-1 ! lands, by Fern’s Oxford Noble. He ran ; back to the illustrious bull Golden Fern’*. Noble in the third feneration, both through his tire and the sire of his dam. Before leaving the island. Pioneer of Oakland* won a number of prixes, and he was first for -get of nre at several leading show* in Ameriea. and second at the Ohio State Fair.

A ration of cnatt and oat* put out in self-feeder* to growing iamb* ensures their even I growth and freedom from worms and i other troubles. That the sheep are sound judges of what is good for them is evidenced by the fact that they eat i freely trum these feeders, even when we think the Iced i* all that is de-I sired.1 While on the subject of worm*, it might be mentioned that serious losses in cattle, both young and old, sometime* occur from a minute worm which infest* the stomach. Like the intestinal hair worm of sheep, this worm is extremely difficult to dis-| lodge with medicinal drenebe*. I have ■ only seen these los*es occurring un-1 der conditions of gross over-stocking, j and here again, therefore, we have an | example of stock being rendered *u»-cepuble to disease by bad property I management.I An adequate supply of minerals ia essential to maintain the halth of cattle. Practically the whole of the soil of this State suffer* to a greater or lesser extent from a deficiency of phophorus. Milking cow* are particularly suiceptibk to any deficiency of this mineral, beciuse of the heavy strain put on them by virtue of continual calving and milk production. W hen this mineral ia diminshed in the soil, in the feed and in the cow’s sys-tcm, it is actually drawn from the bones of the body in order to maintain the normal services of the body and production. The outward indication* of this state of affairs is the habit of bone chewing which the cow adopts in sn effort to make good the I mineral deficiency. The existence of this habit indicate* at once a lowered milk production and susceptibility to several diseases, among which is the so-called “drybibie or impaction paralysis. These difficulties are adequately countered by the free use of bone meal or di-caldc phosphate in a lick, by the liberal use of bran or by the top dressing of country with superphosphate.In spite of phosphate deficiency in soils horses do not suffer from a decreased supply of this mineral as do I cows. They do, however, suffer from an over-abundance of iL Strange to say, when phosphorus is ha excess in the diet, Hme ia drained from the system by iL Bran is very rich in phos-I phatcs, and horses that are too liberally fed on bran sometimes develop an obscure lameness of the rheumatism type, due to lame deficiency. This type | of trouble is most commonly seen in racehorses. It is offset by cutting down the bran ration or hy allowing ground limestone. These instances wiU serve to indicate a few of the more common methods which may be adopted in a practical way to maintain health in stock by attention to the nutrient requirements ef the snhnah.
