MISSOURI CHIEF JOSEPHINE,

RAISED ON SKIM-MILK.
desirable TO feed the young calf often,
a small amount at a time. An exces-
sive quantity at one time will always
cause Indigestion and scours.
For the first two weeks, five or six
quarts is all the largest calf should
be allowed. A small calf does not
need more than four Or five quarts.
This may be fed in two feeds, but bet
ter in three, for two Of three weeks.
AS the calf grows older, more milk
may be used, but at no time need it
be more than eight or nine quarts. If
skim-milk is plentiful, it will pay to
feed as much as ten quarts to a very
vigorous calf.
1t is a mistake to think that a calf
needs more skim.milk than it would
whole milk, and to allow it to gorge
itself. A good rule is to always keep
the calf a little hungry. 1t will read
lily take too much If allowed to do so.
It is bad practice to feed a number
Of calves together in a trough, for
some will drink twice as fast as 9th
ers, and some will be overfed and 9TH
ers will get too little.
Care should be exercised in chang
ing the calf from whole to skim-milk.
The change should not be abrupt, but
gradual, so that no digestive trouble
will occur,
It Is important that the milk be fed
at a uniform Temperature. Cold milk
one day and warm the next will soon
give Indigestion and scours. For the
first few weeks the milk should be fed
warm, even If it has to be heated artt-
hcially. After the calf is several
months old, however, the milk may
be fed cooler. The temperature
should be the same all the time, how
ever. Usually, 1t iS more practicable
to feed warm milk all the time, Just
as nature would do.
It is better for a calf to miss a feed
than to take a feed Of our milk. Ma
lure provides the milk fresh. The
feeding pals should be as clean az The
milk pals, for Indigestion and dis
ease turks In unelean utensils.
There should be little dlficulty IN

and twigs which they will carry with
them. With the young caterpillar this
bag is usually carried erect above the
body.
While feeding or crawling about the
caterpillar thrusts its head and part
Of its body out from the case. This
front part of the body becomes COW
cred with a hard coat, while the other
part, which is covered by the case, re
mains soft.
AS the worm grows larger, 1t en-
larges it's case of silk and leaves.
Finally this case becomes too heavy
TO be carried about, so it hangs down,
and is eventually tied to a twig or
leaf. This is the stage shown in the
illustration. This does not occur until
late in the summer, when the damage
Is all done Tor the season.
In the early summer, when the
young c|aterpillars begin to work, they
chew off the outer layer Of cells of the
leaves, without eating a hole in it.
Later in the summer, as they grow
larger and more active, the foliage
may be stripped entirely from the
trees. This is the worst part Of their
work. After the leaves are all gone it
sometimes starts on the smaller twigs
and branches and eats off portions of
the bark.
This pest IS most often found on
eedars, arboryitae and willows, and
until recently it was not known to
seriously attack other trees. In the
last few years, however, it has been
attacking a number Of varieties Of
shade trees, and in some regions OF
the state is a severe pest on orchards,
Naples, boI-elders, apple, plum, locust
and persimmon are some Of the trees
that are worst affected by this worm
in this state.
The bag worm does not spread far
each season, since the females do not
Hy. It's principle means of migrating
Is either by the larvae crawling from
one tree to another, or by heavy rains
washing them from the trees and car
tying them downstream to a new re
gion.
The control Of this pest is compare
lively simple. II is easily killed by
poisoas. In an orchard which is regu-
larly sprayed for the cooling moth,
this worm is not likely to become a
pest. The young caterpillars come
out just about In time to get some Of
the poison for their first meal, so they
are quickly stopped. Where orchards
are not sprayed for the cooling moth,
and upon shade trees where damage
Is being done, special spraying must
be done. 1t would be possible to go
over the trees in winter and gather
the ocoons to destroy them, but this
would be a laborious process.
Spraying for this pest should be
done so that the young caterpillars
will get It when they hrst come out.
It is already TOO late for this in most
sections this year. A few Of the cases
may be gathered and set outdoors 10
a bottle where they may be watched.
As soon as they begin to come out, 1t
Is time to spray. They usually start
but between the last week Of April
ind the middle of May. Those kept
IN the laboratory at the university
have already hatched out.
Two and a half pounds Of arsenate
bf lead to fifty gallons OF water is the
best preparation for destroying this
caterpillar. If paris green is used in
