GOOD CARE OF YOUNG CALF
Ing Animals During First Summer
on Account of Flies.

The Maine Farmer thus reports the
address of Prof. r. w. Redman given
on the Farming Special trip, on the
subject of the dairy calf: His sug-
gestions we're the results of the best
practical experience along that line.
After some preliminary remarks along
the line of selection of the COW and
the use of pure-bred bull. in which
he emphasized the quite generally &C.
cepted assertion that the sire is half
the breed. he spoke particularly of
the treatment of the COW before calv-
ing. She should rest few weeks and
should be fed well but not high. and
should have some succulent feed She
should have good care and attention
and will respond with better offspring
He suggested the following treat
ment of the calf: Leave it with the
dam few days and then take 1t
away and teach It to drink A clean
pail should be used and the milk
should always be the same tempera-
ture. After few days of whole milk,
the use Of skimmilk may be COM

the fat which is taken OFT in the
cream. The feeding of grain and
clover hay may be commenced and
gradually increased as the calf is
able to assimilate it.
Professor Redman said that the calf
should be kept growing and not al
lowed to get setback at any time.
for it might never fully recover from
1t and would not be likely to make
the high quality COW that 1t other
wise would
Professor Redman did not favor pas
turing the calves during the first sum-
mer, but rather keeping them inside
and away from the annoying flies dur
ing the warm days, for often they lose
more in fighting flies than they gain
by the open air and pasturing. They
might be turned out into pen at

Skim Milk Experiments.

The Wisconsin experiment station
got only II cents per 100 pounds for
skim milk after deducting the cost OF
the corn meal at 80 cents per 100
pounds when fed to hog weighing
400 pounds. When fed to two hogs
weighing 144 pounds each. they paid
rs cents per 100 pounds for the skim
milk when figured on the same basis.
These figures show value for skim
milk as hog feed that some feeders
do not seem to appreciate.
Some experiments show an increase
of 20 per cent. In weight In hogs over
that obtained by feeding cornmeal
and skimmilk separately by feeding
them in connection with each other.

The average production OF butter fat
per year per COW is said to be be-

too little to be profitable.
The separator and all utensils

CARE OF THE YOUNG CALVES
Especially Susceptible to Ravases of
Flies and Should Be Kept in
Barn-Good Repellent.
fBv W. M KIMRA1IA


The young calves are especially
susceptible to the ravages of flies and
1t will seldom prove profitable to al
low them out of the barn except for
exercise during the night when the
flies will not prove troublesome.
There are numerous remedies that
may be used as fly repellents but the
following formula recommended by
Doctor Moore has given excellent sat
isfaction wherever used and where
many of the expensive preparations
have failed to perform what their
manufacturers claimed for them.
Fish oil .................. 100 parts
vi OF Jar. ....... ......... oU parts
Crude carbolic acid. ...... / part
The cost of the mixture is about
80 cents a gallon and 1t may be ap-
piled with hand sprayer every two
days. Some prefer applying the mix
ture once day. using lighter appli-
cations.
Loads of clover and other forage
hauled to the stable every two or
three days will keep the calves and
cows In excellent condition and the
manure thus made will nearly pay for
the increased labor required in cut
ting and hauling.
When we consider the relationship
between the comfort of the cows and
calves and the amount of milk and
growth we can hardly fail to see that
we should do all in our power to Inn
prove their condition in fly time.

The Everett Gamer we'll came
in Saturday evening, in the new
Bells Run field and is good
for az barrels. All four of the
wells so far drilled in that field
are about alike, all making ap-
proXimately 40 barrels day.
Several new locations have been
made in adjacent territory.
Calhoun now has a brighter
prospect for 4 big oil boom than
anv other county in the State.
All eyes of oidom are now CEN
tered this way, and within 4
year there will more than likely
be the greatest activity in the oil
business that our county has ever
seen.
The new Bells Run field is a
dandy and promises to produce
millions of dollars worth of oil.
And the new field that looks so
promising in the Trace Fork
country adds greatly to our pros
poets. The Ayers we'll is good
gaser, and there are three loca-
tons made for wells on the Cox,
the Bigler and the Graybell
farms in that territory. Cabot
will drill several more wells near
here and on Bigroot. Contract
or Bickel will start we'll today
on the Trippett farm on Leading
creek and there are several 9TH
er wells under prospects of be-
ing drilled soon. The Mt. Zion
territory is almost sure to be
drilled in the near future, and
the whole county is under lease,
so even should the farming con-
ditions be as terrible as it now
seems they will be, our people
have little to be afraid of.
Things are sure going to move
some. and we hope every com
munity will get a good share of
the prosperity that is coming.
