Feeding Dairy Calves for Best Growth

Skim milk is a cheap feed for
calves, but should be fed carefully in
limited quantities and only while it is
warm and sweet. Skim milk may
form the principal diet of the calf for
SIX months to year. The best skim
milk is that which is fresh from the
separator and still warm.
Experiments show that it is only
one-fourth as expensive to raise a
calf on skim milk as on whole milk.
Two pounds of grain with the proper
amount of skim milk equals in feed
ing value one pound of butter fat.
Buttermilk properly handled may
profitably be fed to calves.
The grain for calves should be fed
first while the calf Is quite small with
little bran to aid the calf in learn
ing to eat. High-priced concentrates
are unnecessary and give no better
results than corn meal, oats, and
bran, ground barley, etc., when fed
in proper combinations.
The roughage for calves should
first be fed at two or three weeks of
age whom the calf begins to eat grain.
Good clean hay, either timothy, blue
grass, clover or alfalfa may be used.
Corn silage is an excellent calf feed
when fed in moderate amounts. Good
pasture Is an essential after four to
six months.
The management Of the calf dur
ing the first year has much to do
with its later usefulness. Plenty Of
water and salt should be given in
clean vessels. Sudden changes of
diet should be avoided and regularity
in feeding should be practiced. Warm,
dry quarters should always be pro-
vided in damp weather. Plenty of
roughage should be given, and not
too much grain, so as to develop a
large capacity for handling food, as
is desirable in dairy animals.-Prof.

Boil Weevil Helps Louisiana.

The prediction that the boil weevil
would not be an unmixed curse but
rather blessing in disguise is re-
garded as indicated by a corre-
spondent Of the New Orleans Picay-
une who writes as follows:
THE United States Department Of
Agriculture has reported the yield
OF corn in this State during the past
season to have averaged the phe-
nomenal rate of more than 20 BUSH
els to the acre. A planter in Bossier
Parish made $1,000 on sixteen acres
planted in peanuts. Even at Is cents
per pound, cotton would not have
netted more on SO acres, or three
times as much land planted. In De-
Soto Parish more money was made
on hogs than would have been the
case had the same acreage been de-
voted to cotton. Hogs at IS per 100
pounds have proven a better specu-
lation than cotton at ruling prices.
The better class of planters are not
entirely discarding cotton, as they
realize that some must be planted,
but they are planting those things
that insure sure revenue in the
event that crop or price should fail
whom cotton is made the exclusive
product Of the farm"

as much loss to the cotton
~ grower in many sections as
what is known as the root-louse.
There are very few fields along the
coastal plains that are free from its
ravages. 1t seems to have a spe-
cial liking to land where vegetable
matter has been incorporated in the
soil by some system OF rotation.
Therefore 1t not only Injuries the
present crop but 1t is menace
TO the Improvement OF the soil SO far
as the cotton farmer is concerned
Now, 1 have always tried TO prac-
tice a system OF rotation whereby
my land at least every other year
as all good farmers should. About
three years ago, after suffering
great deal OF loss from this insect /
began to study its habits. The first
thing / noticed was that they were
always worse in the cotton where
the land had been planted In corn
the previous year. After consulting
several cntomologists concerning its
habits and trying to get relief, /
found that none of them seemed to
know very much about 1t. None
could give me any remedy for It,
Every cotton farmer familiar
with its habits knows that by the

NOW, what is a remedy? 1t has
been found impossible so far to de.
stroy the lice by any emulsion OF
poison. Therefore the only thing
left TO do is to reduce its rayages r.
minimum. An application of so
pounds of nitrate OF soda to the acre
under the cotton at planting time
helps wonderfully by forcing the
growth OF the plant. Even more
than fifty pounds may be used profit
ably where they are likely to be very
bad. But the surest remedy | have
found SO far and one that reduces
It's ravages to almost nothing is to
plant corn. their natural food, be-
tween the cotton. Or l will Change
this by saying plant cotton between
the corn. for the corn should be
planted by March 18th, and never
later than the last of March. Adams
Early Is the best variety for this pur-
pose. The corn rows should be 6
feet apart and the cotton rows plant
ed between as soon as the ground
gets warm enough. This will give
ample space g feeU between each
cotton and corn row. Anything
closer than this will be difficult to
work. BY all means keep the cotton
well stirred and clean. The corn

If the blowing is to be deeper
than usual it should generally be
done between July 1st and January
1st At this time only is the subsoil
usually dry enough to make the
work satisfactory. From January LIST
to February 18th the freezing which
is likely to follow may correct any
harm from blowing the subsoil when
too wet; but after February 18th,
the land should probably not be
plowed deeper than it has usually
been broken, until the subsoil has
become thoroughly dry, and then the
land should not be deeply broken
for crops to be sowed at once, or be-
fore the rain has settled the soil
