the PROPER FEED FOR LITTLE CHICK,
BY Miller Purvis.

To prevent the chicks from getting n
too soon. and to prevent too rapid
evaporation, the bed was covered with
burlap sacks until the wheat began
to throw up green sprouts.
Then the chicks were turned on
and they would eat nothing else al
long as they could have this wheat
In the course Of termination the
starch in the wheat is changed to su-
gar of g. sort which chicks like.
This process also partially digests
the starch, making it easily digestibla
by the chicks.
I think sprouted wheat. barley Of
oats make about the best combina-
ton Of green feed and grain that the
poultryman can use and they thrivs
beautifully on it.
Preferably I feed cracked corn and
cracked wheat for the first two weeks.
At two weeks Of age begin to feed
a good quality of dried beef scrap
and always I keep grit, charcoal and
clean water where the chicks can
help themselves.
If any one tries to argue with ms
that ground grains. moistened enough
to make thick dough. ia better than
cracked grains. fed dry. do not ar
que the case, because I do not believe
it is worth while.
On principle, feed sound and
sweet grain, because would not want
to eat musty feed myself. The chicks
that run at large around a farm. yard
pick up a lot of grain in the course
of the year that Is anything but
sound nd sweet but I haven't noticed
that this interferes with their health.
Feed often and feed plenty and the
chicks will do the rest
An average of one pound of grain
week will supply chick for the
first ten weeks of it's life.

Experience, as we'll as exact expert
ments, rove that clover hay possesses
q higher feeding value when the crop
Is cut and cured as green as possible.
The majority OF farmers allow their
clover to get too ripe before they
begin the work of cutting and har-
vesting. Every practical feeder OF
dairy cattle and young things knows
the value Of rowen as food for milk
production and growth. What Is the
matter Of making rowen out of the
whole Of the clover crop?
The clover should be cut as soon
as it is in blossom. 1t cannot be cured
as quickly. but it can be cured and
we will be more sure to get q good
second crop. Much Of the feeding
value Of the clover depends upon
how the crop Is managed after it is
cut and right here is where we find
many practical farmers who fail to
agree on how the clover should be
handled, although they are all work.
Ing with one object in view and that
to cure it as quickly as they can and
get the crop secured before unfavor-
able weather delays the work and
ruins the feeding value of the hay.
We make a practice of cutting In
the forenoon what may be tedded and
raked and cooked in the afternoon
and allow 1t to remain in the cocks
and cure for two days and open up
the third day about nine or ten o.
clock in the morning and begin haul
ing to the NOW In the afternoon.
Whom the clover is handled in this
manner 1t will be cured and the loss
of leaves will be reduced to mini
mum. Glover that is handled in this
manner will retain its delightful ar
oma. OF course weather conditions
will often upset our most carefully
laid plans and we will be compelled
to cut away from all hard and fast
rules and do the best thing possible
under the circumstances.

Not all Of the success Of rearing
skim milk calves depends upon the
feed or upon the breed. Very much
indeed depends upon the care of the
calf, and feed without proper shell
ter will avail but little.
The calf must be made comfortable
in warm as we'll as cold weather. If
he is not failure will result. Let your
feeding arrangement be such that
each calf get his share
Do not, as I have seen on many
farms pour the milk into q tub or
a trough and let the calf fight for
his share. There Is no chance for
disagreement on this point. This is
not feeding.
1t will be found advisable SUNNI er
or winter to arrange that each calf
can get his individual share of the
food, in yard in the summer time
or in pen in the winter.
If you have plenty Of time it will
b. found advisable to tie each calf
at each feeding. Tie around each
calf's neck a ring two inches In dia-
meter with light rope.
Give each calf place at post and
staple to the post two feet above the
ground rope not more than eight
or ten inches long with swivel snap
In the end.
Have these ropes far enough apart
to prevent the calves from reaching
each other and you will have no trou-
BILE from the calves sucking one an
others noses or ears. Keep the calves
tied until the milk is licked from their
chops and noses.
If the calves be Of about equal size
they ma be turned loose to trough
in which Is the grain food.

HARVESTING GLOVER AND TIMOTHY HAY
~ w. Nj. Kelley.

The hay tedder Is necessity II we
get our hay into the barn in the best
condition, and one days good sun and
two teddings will do more toward cur
ing a crop Of clover than two days ex-
posture to the sun and weather, be-
side when the clover is cooked up
and left there Is but little danger
from rainy weather unless it con-
tinues for several days, and even then
the loss will be much less than it
would be If the clover was left as
when first cut In the rows as it was
raked up.
In handling timothy, or mixed hay
we cut in the forenoon. tedding and
raking in the afternoon and cooking
up along toward night and then open
ing up along in the forenoon OF the
following day and hauling to the barn
the same day, unless the crop Is I'M
usually heavy or the weather unfavor-
able for it's curing the same day it is
cut.
In haying we are compelled to go
more by the weather conditions and
the number of available hands than
by any rules that may be laid down
by writer's for the agricultural press.
One very excellent rule to follow
is never slash down more hay than
can be put into the NOV in short
time with what help is available, for
If there is anything that will make
a man disheartened 1t is to have ten
or twenty acres Of heavy hay to han
die over two or three times before
1t can be hauled to the NOV.
A prominent statesman once said
that If he only had five minutes in
which to shave he would spend four
minutes In sharpening his razor. It
Is the same with handling the hay
crop, every tool must be sharp and
ready for the work and every man
should have his place so that when
the work begins there will be no
breakage and no Interruptions.

Quoted by a special agent who reports
directly to the chief of the Bureau Of
Plant Industry at Washington, d. c.
The work now covers portions OF II

and has many demonstration farms.
The average farmer may continue
for years to believe he has tho best
seed Of the several crops he pro-
duces unless he Is brought into direct
public comparison and competition
with other farmers, not In an exhib-
ition where prizes are to be awarded
but in mere exhibit Of what the
farmers expect to plant without any
asserting.
The farmers in tho First Congress
ional District in North Carolina, we're
invited to assemble In March, at CEN
trail points and each bring about SO
ears Of the seed corn they expected
to plant. These ears were arranged
on long table in tho public square

attached to each pile. Expert judges
were present to SOLICIT and test. Some
corn was brought that tested less than
45 per cent Of fertile grains. At tho
close Of the meeting over 90 Per cent
Of the corn samples went for stock
feed and was replaced by q better
variety or quality.

In case of tho steer cat which will

ably fat. He is tho calf which should
have the corn and should have the
fat-making foods.
He should ba reared in just tho op-
posite direction, 40 compared with the

calf even to have his drink OF skim
milk when he Is six or seven months
old, II there is surplus but skim
milk cannot be utilized to as good
advantage as In the case Of the heller.
Tho best skim milk calves are those
which are born in the fall of the year.
Their young life Is spent in a moro

as a rule will be In better condition
than the milk which the spring calf
will get.

In the calf during the first few months

are not all equal in vitality. My ex-

RAISING CALVES ON SKIM MILK
BY F. A

Do not permit calves four months
old to be loose In the same pen with
calves two weeks old. Separate the
calves into pens according to age and
size.
Under this plan Of handling calves
there Is nothing which will prevent
careful farmer from rearing the
best skim Xix calf, but 1t involves
more labor and more patience than
many farmers can spare or afford
, Time is money on tho dairy farm
just the same as In the factory. The
farmer who is rearing a half dozen
calves per year can't afford to be
without stanchions. They are Is nee
essary In feeding calves as Is an i'm
proved stall in making the dairy COW
comfortable.
Every farmer knows what a stan
chion is and these can be built out
of scrap lumber on bad day at very
little cost.
If calves are fed IN an open pen
in summer time would build a stan
chion in the lot. 1 would also have
set built in the calf barn.
Sanctions are not 80 expensive but
what the farmer can -.fford two SETS
At meal time each calf will have his
head in the stanchion and the calf
waiting to be fastened.
The feeder closes the stanchion and
tt calf is secure. The feed is given
the calf according to his requirements
and desires IF the feeder.
If the calf is slow eater 1t is not
molested by the greedy calf next to
him. StanchiQns on the dairy farm
will expedite greatly and overcome
many of the obstacles and disagree
able things in feeding calves.

PREVENTION OF FROST INJURY TO FRUIT
THE USE OF OIL HEATERS IN ORCHARDS WILL OVERCOME
DESTRUCTIVE ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS
AND SAVE FRUIT CROP
ByGB

The fruit grower from time imme-
mortal, has been at the mercy Of the
elements Frost is one Of the most
formidable foes with which he has
to contend. Millions Of dollars are
lost annually by silent, relentless
frosts that come either when the trees
are in blossom or Just after the fruit
has set.
Recent demonstrations in the fruit
district Of the Middle West have
proved beyond a peradventure that
damage to fruit trees by frost can
be controlled to a greater or less
extent. One Of tho fundamental prin-
ciples that underlie successful frost
fighting is a knowledge Of tho subject
Of air drainage. Cold air, like water.
settles to the lowest ground. and any
thing that will break up this statum
of cold air and cause 1t to mix with
tho upper strata Of warm air will
prove Of great value in combating
frost injury.
Frost injury to fruit trees most fire.
quently occurs when there Is a clear,
still, dry atmosphere. and when the
radiation IL uninterrupted by clouds
or moisture. and the cold air settles
in poorly air drained areas.
While frosts may not be severe.
they are often just severe enough to
damage the blossoms and tender fruits
and they not only reduce q crop of
fruit one-third to one-half of what
1t should be. but sometimes destroy
the entire crop for one year or for
several successive years.
In orchard heating tho fuel to be
depended upon must be easy to light,

The aim OF the Farmers Corpora
tive Demonstration Work is t, place
a practical object lesson before the
farm masses. illustrating the best and
most profitable methods Of producing
the standard farm crops, and to Sc
cure such active participation in the
demonstrations as to prove that tho
farmers can make a much larger
average annual crop and secure a
greater return for their toll.
This work shows also that there is
no necessity for the general deterio-
ration Of farms and the too common
poverty Of the rural masses.
Briefly stated. the salient features
Of the rural lessons given by the farm
demonstration work are as follows:
"a Better drainage Of the soil.
(2) A deeper and more thoroughly
pulverized seed bed; deep fall break
ing (plowing) with implements that
will not bring the subsoil to the sur
face.

(6) Intensive tillase during the

Fresno, Cal Since then several styles
Of oil heaters have been manufactured
and put on the market. One of these
we'll known and extensively used or
chard oil heaters constructed on SCI
entiflc principles, has a centerdraft
tube that feeds oil to the flames, pro-
notes com bustion, and makes good
use Of the Oil. The heater holds
about 5 quarts Of oil. will burn six
or seven hours, is made of 2s-gauge
pounds. It stands II inches high.
The cover is made to fit like a lard
pail lid, and Is raised in tho center
so as to shed water. This heater has
successfully stood the test Of several
years It is successful because based
on the principle that there - no need
for great heat locally, but for numer-
Gus small fires we'll distributed. The
small fires do not necessarily change
the direction Of the air draft, the OBJ
ject being to warm up the draft a.
it is pressed down from above by the
settling Of tho colder. air. and thus
avoid the forming Of cold spots or
pools. Above the danger point the
upper air strata are warmer. and usu-
ally a. few degrees OF rise In tenn
perature is all that is necessary for
safety.
An oil heater that will hold q
quarts Of oil WILL burn ten hours
This heater is so arranged that the
heat may be increased or diminished
at will. There are larger heaters that
hold gallons of oil and burn thirty
five hours. but the medium size Is
deemed best for all practical pur-
poses.
