three-fourths of skim milk until you finally have
all skim milk By such feeding you will not give
with it any fat and it will be necessary therefore
to give some corn in connection with the skim
milk. Besides at this time the calf is old enough
to nibLle at hay or pasture, and will take to its
food without further trouble. We have been using
blood meal from the slaughter house with our
calves to good advantage Of course we only rse
a small quantity for one calf from one to two
table spoon fulls daily, and where we have been
using it. we have not been troubled with the
scours, or any of the other common calf diseases.
l think that the use of blood meal will become
general in the rearing of calves.

Why Churn Whole Milk !?

Editors Progressive Farmer:
1t seems to be very common practice among
the small darymen at least. to churn the whole
milk We believe this would not be so generally
done if it were known how many disadvantages
this system has.
In the first place, whole milk is very bulky re-
quiring frequent churnings for a small amount
of butter. When only the cream is churned one
churning a week might be sufficient; if whole milk
is churned it will be necessary to churn every day
or every other day. And that means a LOT of extra
work.
1t generally takes longer time to churn whole
milk than it does to churn cream In order to get
the butter to come within reasonable length of
time, high churning temperature is used. A
high churning temperature means that more fat
smaller amount of butter will be of poor quality;
since butter that is churned at a high tempera-
ture lacks quality, the texture is not good.
The butter-milk is not in as good condition
for feeding purposes as the skim-milk would have
been had either the deep setting gravity system,
: or the centrifugal system been used to separate
the cream
Why then should we continue to churn whole
milk It means that one of the best foods for
raising calves namely skim milk, is changed into
form that is less valuable for feeding purposes
1t means a greater loss of fat in the butter-milk
1t increased amount of labor. And it
also means not only smaller yield of butter, but
butter of inferior quality.

Marbles or Wolves in Cattle.

GEO. N. HICKS.
Vance Co., n. G.
(Answer by G. A. Roberts, D. Y. S., A. & N.
College, Raleigh.)
Marbles are the larval (worm stage) of the OK
bot fly Nypoderma Lineata). The larva in de-
veloping underneath the skin causes an enlarge
ment at that point When the larva is full grown
it makes it's way through opening in the skin
to the exterior, when it falls to the ground and
in which it passes it's dormant or pupa stage,
before becoming the adult fly. The fly lays its
eggs on the cattle during the fall months, the
larva becoming mature leaves the animal during
spring months early summer, the pupa stage
being of a month or six weeks duration.
No treatment will cause an abrupt expulsion
of these larvae, other than by mechanical means,
and to protect the cow or herd from future in
festation the larvae, before becoming iiature,
should be expelled from the nodules by d ening
same with the point of clean knife blade then
with little pressure the larvae may be squeezed
out and destroyed by crushing.
This should be done in winter or early spring.

Live Stock Inquiries.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

Editors Progressive Farmer:
I am glad The Progressive Farmer has taken
on such new life. hope to be constant reader
of it. I enjoy DIR. Burkctts letters on live stock
and dairying commenced little dairy busl-
ness about a year ago. and would like tc ask him
a great many question. First I would like to
hear from him on silos and silage Would he
recommend building a silo for 20 cows2 If so.
what size? should like to have bill of material
for same.
would like some information on planting Ber-
muda grass Will it do to let stock run it the
first year2 I have some black mud land that l
would like to put in Bermuda grass. l would also
like to hear something on feeding calves.
Yours respectfully,

Duplin Co., N. G.
answered by DR.. G. W. Burkett.)
Yes should have silo In fact, for the dairy
business I should have silo for small num-
Der as ten cows. During the past summer we
built round silo at the college which cost
$13s, and which holds something like one hundred
and fifty tons of ensilage. Where one does much
of the work himself the actual cost price may be
considerably less than the price mentioned here
would prefer the round or stave silo. In making
IL
wide by two and one-half inches thick, and from
sixteen to twenty-four feet long. These are to
be set on end. and then held together by means of
iron rods. For twenty should have a
silo that would hold around about one hundred
and fifty tons.
The Silver Manufacturing Company of Salem,
o., publishes little book on Modern Silage
Methods which is sent without cost to those in
terested in silos. This is an extremely valuable
book and I would suggest to all interested in
silos that they write these people. There is also
a bulletin published by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture Washington D. c., on silos
and ensilage, which will be sent request.
In reference to Bermuda grass, would not pas
ture it very extensively the first year. In fact,
think we make mistake with all of our pastures
when we pasture them the first year of their max
ing Bermuda pastures be made by drop
ping the Bermuda roots all about over the field,
and then with it / should SOW some common red
clover, to the extent of ten pounds per acre, and
fine pounds of Japan clover per acre. The Japan
clover and red clover will grow very quickly, and
the Bermuda will extend itself. Of course the
red clover will die out in short time, but you will
receive a good deal of pasturage from it's first
years growth and besides this you will get all of
that soil improving value, and the nitrogen which
clover adds to the SOIL
Now as to feeding calves. think you will find
the best success in calf feeding by Immediately
removing the calves when they are day or so

IRRIGATION IN INDIA.

We are given to boasting Of our
irrigation systems in Southwest LOUIS
lana, and they are really magnificent
engineering works and on a liberal
scale. From an account given by
w. L. Curtis in the Chicago Record
Herald we learn that the irrigation
canals in India are larger than ours
and also that government cortrol-
as our Populist friends contends
cheaper than private ownership.
The system is an admirable one, the
land being laid out in one acre plots
and 800 acres constituting a vii
lage as 1t is termed.
The chief engineer fixes the volume
of water to be furnished to each viii
lage and the period for which it is to
remain flowing The local superin-
tendent regulates the amount allowed
each cultlvator, according to the
crop he has planted. There are six
rates, regulated by the crops, for
some need more water than others, as
follows:
Glass. Crops. Rate per acre.
l. Sugar cane....,. -s.s...............sS2.50
Rice ...-..,..>.....-..-....... -..2.10

aboye... .......,.................... .S3
6--Single water to pIow. not followed
by q op..~-.-.-..s...-..-. 40
As I have shown you from the
figures above, this enterprise has
proved highly profitable to the gov
ernment, and its management is en-
titled TO the highest compliments.
The main canal was originally forty
miles long, averaging 109 feet wide,
with an average slope Of one foot to
the mile, and capable Of carrying
seven feet four inches OF water, or
10000 cubic feet, per second.
Twerty-eight miles have since been
enlarged to width of 250 feet and
the remaining twelve miles 10 width
of $50 feet. The canal has been
deepeued to nine feet six inches, and
the intention IS to deepen 1t one foot
| more. The banks of the main cana
] are twenty-five feet wide at the top
and are built entirely of eartn. A
railway ninety. six miles long of three
foot guage has been constructed
down the main canal, which is q
great convenience in shipping crops
and pays g profit to the government.
It was constructed by the canal
engineers while the ditch was being
dug. There are 800 miles of branch
canals from thirty to fifty feet wide
aud from six to eight feet deep, and
2,095 miles Of distributaries, or ditch
es running between villages and
squares. The banks of the branches
and bitches are all wide enough for
highways, AID thus enable the people
to go from village to village and get
their crops to market.
Several towns of considerable size
have already grown up; the largest,
called LyaiIpur, having about 10000
inhibitants. 1t is the headquarters
of the canal and also of the civil
authorities; and scattered through the
irrigated country are about 100 per-
| manent houses used as residences and
| offices by the superintendents aud
engineers.
