Proper Care Cuts Horse Death Rate
Ohio State University veterinary specialists say careful care can nearly halve deaths from sleeping sickness in horses. Act quickly by calling a veterinarian at the first suspicion and confine sick animals in cool dark quarters. Remove hazards, water and feed by hand if needed, and protect from flies with a spray or light blanket for 48 hours. Avoid drenching or medicating without veterinary advice.

Lime Will Improve Meadow Mixtures
Ohio farmers adopted mixed meadow seedings with alfalfa red and alsike clover and timothy, finding higher yields than single-species mixtures. A common mix uses alfalfa 4, red clover 4, alsike 2 pounds per acre, or 3 pounds for fall sowing and 6 pounds for spring. Salter warns lime-rich soils are crucial for alfalfa success. a Wooster liming test shows low yields without lime, improving with calcium carbonate application.
