TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Whey For Calves.

Whey has the casein as well as the
butter fat removed and hence is q
much less valuable feed than skimmilk.
A good grain ration must be carefully
selected as supplementary feed. The
calf to be fed ons whey should receive
whole milk for the first week or two.
1t can then be changed to skimmilk.
If this is not available it should be
continued on whole milk. A calf will
do better not to receive whey for five
to six weeks 1t will then take ten
days to two weeks more to complete
the change to whey. Calves will han
die about the same amount of whey as
skimmilk-viz, fourteen to sixteen
pounds daily per calf. An excessive
amount may cause undue largeness of
the paunch The feeder will need to
give more care and attention to calves
fed on whey than to those fed milk.
The grain for whey fed calves should
be selected for its constipating effect
so as to counterfeit the tendency TO
scours. Oats, sorghum seed, shelled
corn or middlings (as part of the ra-
tom are good for this purpose. Avoid
soy beans and other grains that have
a loosening effect.--D. I'll. Otis, Expert
ment Station, Madison, Wis.

SOME PERTINENT
SILO REMINDERS
important Things to Observe In
Making EnSilage,

Two of the most important things
to remember in making ensilage are to
have the crop mature enough to re-
tain it's own juice in the silo and to
keep without developing strong odors.
SAYS the American Cultiyator. If the
corn is not ripe enough it is sure TO
make strong smelling silage The silo
must be tight and the packing so
close that the air is thoroughly ex-
PEELED when the corn is put in and
does not get in afterward. If from
slack packing or from the buckling or.
springing 'of the silo walls. which Of
ten happens. air is retained or gets in
later the losses may be SO large as to
make the whole thing poor invest
ment.
When selecting lumber with which
to build a stave silo or in purchasing
ready made one. look to it that every
stave is sound. Sapwood aud worm
eaten pieces should never be used In
silo construction.
Two small silos. as regards DIANE
ter, are more economical to have than
one large one. in that the silage can
be fed with less waste from a small
silo.
If one knows how many cows he is
going to keep he can figure pretty ac
curately how large silo he needs
Thirty pounds of silage is about the
amount required by COW each day.
and If it is to be fed 200 days in the
year that means that she will con-
sumo about three tons of silage. Ac-
cordingly all that is necessary is to
find out how much a silo of different
dimensions will hold. If it is only fif-
teen feet in diameter and twenty-four
feet high seventy six tons will be its
capacity. but add six feet more to the
height and it will hold 105 tons, and If
ten feet are added it will hold 131

the prizes. while others. on the contrary,
are equally positive that it hasn't q
ghost Of a show. All of which certainly
makes it worth reading. We are sure,
no matter what may be the technical
opinion as to it's prixe-winning qualities.
that every reader will be glad he. went
through it, for it IL q fine story-or ar

Abraham Lincoln, for the hero. It b q
characteristic Lincoln story. displaying
to the fullest that wonderful mans SELF
sacrificing nature-the trait that epdeared
him to all mankind. no matter what the
period.
It relates one of those fine, old. hui
man experiences in which there Is poor
boy without a single friend to help him
out Of a terrible situation. Just at the
pivotal moment, Lincoln heard OF his
trouble. Though the deed required him
to leave his own affairs In imminent
peril. he left all to reciprocate q great
kindness given to his own early youth
OF course, the story requires that Lincoln
win the case-it was lawsuft-but II
happens In this instance. happily, that
everything told IL the truth.
