nesota. Write to Feather Buster Manu-
featuring company, Chicago, about buy
ing turkey feathers.
Fish to Plant-Several Inquirers For
young fish for stocking lakes and ponds
in Minnesota write to the board of game
and fish commissioners, capitol, st. Paul,
and get blank applications for fish, that
must be filled out and returned, when
they will be forwarded.
Station Seeds-A Lindgren, Volga, Wis
The Minnesota experiment station has a
limited quantity of its No 1853 wheat and
No. 13 corn, both originated at the sta
ton, and are very popular sorts Many
farmers of this state have grown them,
and some probably have seed for sale
which will be offered to you.
Hog Pasture-P. Hanson, Lyon, Coun-
ty, Minnesota. The best grass for hog
pasture is red clover, but If you haven t
it started you can't have it for this sea-
son. Sow rape, or field peas, and oats
| together. Sow the peas first, about four
q
the usual depth This crop can be pas
tured when peas are in bloom or later,
or can be cut and fed as wanted.
Turkey Hens to One Gobbler-Mrs. H.
L., Owatonna, Mimi, asks:
How many turkey hens are enough
for one gobbler and have fertile eggs?
VIII eight be too many?"
Ans.-Would depend much on the age
/ and vigor of the gobbler If not too
young that number would be all right.
Dehorning Calves-There is difference
of opinion about dehorning calves, wheth-
er to prevent the growth Of horns or to
remove them when year old. At the
state experiment station the last system
is employed. If the first is preferred, be
sure that the caustic does not run down
on the surrounding skin, which Will
make a painful sore. 1t is believed by
CnOSe Oh InOSI- experience llldL Tie uISt
method is less painful than the last.
Crop on Breaking-A E. r., Cass coun-
ty Minnesota: 81. In breaking land in
the spring I find it necessary to sow
something to keep down brush and help
rot it. How would flax do? 2. When
should 1t be sown, and how much per
acre? g. How can 1 obtain bulletins of
experiment stations and institute annual
No. S?'-Ans. /. Flax is all right, but
might be difficult to harvest. If you had
stock to eat it, millet would be be good,
or rape, If you had sheep. 2. Sow soon
as ground is fairly warm, thfee-quarters
of bushel to the acre. 3. Send your adj
dress to State Experiment station, STAN
thony Park, and it will be put on the
mailing list for all bulletins. Get insti-
tute annual from Supt. o. c. Gregg,
Lynd, Mimi. Send cents to pay postage.
Calf Feeding-Jacob Stussi, Minnesota,
writes:
81 am short of milk. Please state
which is the best way to rear calves from
a month old? Is ground feed good for
them? What amount should be fed to
each calf?"
Ans. Calves one month old get round
ed teaspoonful of ground flax in each
mess of skim milk. A calf one month old
receives about three quarts of separator
skim milk twice day. Gradually in
crease the fax meal, but never give so
muchthat it will give the scours. We are
feeding thirty calves now, and they are
as growthy and sleek as one can wish.
Small mess and regularity in feeding Is
the secret of success.
Cutting Clover-A. A NJ Minnesota. It
is not necessary to cut the second crop
Of clover to insure a stand the next sea-
son. In fact. you will get a better stand
by not cutting it. But in rotation it is
usually cut twice the second year, either
for seed or hay, often more profitable for
the first, and land plowed Tor succeeding
crop, preferably corn or potatoes. Clover,
being biennial plant, If not allowed to
reseed itself the second year it will die

bolic acid, as often recommended in vet

edge of the merits Of coon oil for harness.

bones of cattle feet, hoof removed, in

which will rise to the top. If bones are
fresh the oil will be sweet.
