rough country roads especially in
the winter and early spring. This
not only tires his patience, but actual
ly shortens the usefulness of the

or around the farm real pleasure.
The days of the steel and common
rubber tires are rapidly passing away
these tires are being thrown into
the scrap heap. Steel tires rust and
rot, have no 'give," common rubber
tires break, tear and come off easily
are liable to leave the user stranded
miles from home.
Goodyear Wing Tires have won the
day -convinced experts and users
that they are superior to other tires
in every respect, only the very finest
quality, live, tested solid rubber goes
into Goodyear wing tires. They give
the greatest amount of wear because
they last longer than other tires.
This means large saving of money
in the purchase of each wing tire.

Feeding the Calf.

Probably large percentage of low
producing COWS we have at present
come because of poor start in life.
We cannot expect the COW to do perfect
work, unless she gets the best of care
while she is young.
The first essential in feeding a new
born calf is to see that it gets the
coIlustrom milk from its mother.
Nature has provided this for the pur-
pose of purging the calves stomach
and get it in shape to handle the true
milk. 1t is absolutely necessary that
it gets this first milk. Many cases of
scours can be attributed to neglect in
this particular. 1t is question
whether the calf should be allowed to
suck this collustrom, or whether it
should be taught to drink from
bucket at once. Either method may
be used, but since it is comparatively
easy matter to teach the calf to drink,
even after it has been allowed to
suck, it may be best to let it run
with the mother until she ceases to
give collustrom,
1t should then be placed in stall
by itself for awhile so that it will not
learn to suck the other calves. Do
not try to feed it for "a hours after
taking it away from it's mother. 1t
will then be hungry enough so that
it will drink without the aid of a
finger in it's mouth. 1t should still
be fed it's mothers milk, and for the
first week should be given whole milk.
About three or four pounds twice a
day will be enough, but the amounts
will, of course, vary with the size and
strength of the calf. Some skim
milk should be added the second day
until when the calf is three weeks old
he should get bali skim and half
whole milk. When four weeks he can
be out on a diet of skimmilk alone.
A little flax seed meal should be fed
with the skimmilk to make up the
loss of fat and make the feed as near
ly like whole milk as possible. The
calf soon begins to nibble at hay and
should have access to some alfalfa and
if it is summer time it should be
allowed to run in some good grass or
clover pasture.
1t is of course necessary to keep the
calfshed perfectly clean and by no
means expect calf to grow we'll if
fed out of a dirty pail. The calf
bucket should be as clean as the house
bucket. and should be thoroughly
washed and scalded after each meal.
