high testing breeds is very often too
rich in fat for the young calf and
should be diluted with skimmilk or
milk from some other COW should be
fed.
The amount of milk to feed the calf
at this time is very important Under
natural conditions the calf gets its
milk often and in small amounts, and
the more nearly we initiate nature, the
greater success we will have. The calf
of average size should receive about
eight pounds of whole milk a day at
first. Large calves should have more
than this amount. The milk may be
fed in two feeds, night and morning. or
better results may be obtained by feed
ing it three times day AS the calf
grows older the amosnt should be grad
ually increased The best guide as TO
the amount which should be fed is the
calf'S appetite 1t should be fed Suffi-
GENTLY, but never overfed, and it is a
Western Kansas world., 1912-05-11

good practice to always keep the calf a
little hungry. 1t should take the last
milk from the pail with the same relish
as it took the first 1t must be remem-
bered that the calf has a small stom-
ach, and there is great danger of over
feeding it. The following method may
be used to determine the amount of
milk to feed.
For the first hundred pounds live
weight feed ten pounds of milk per day.
For the second hundred pounds add
five pounds of milk per day.
For the third hundred pounds add
two and one-half pounds of milk per
day.
If the calf is strong and well devel-
oped it-may be changed to skimmilk at
the end of the second week. This
change should be made gradually by
substituting a small amount of skim
milk for q like amount of whole milk
in the daily ration About a week or ten
days should be taken for this change
Care should always be taken to have
the milk warm and sweet. Especially
is this necessary when feeding the
young calf AS the calf grows older it
will do just as well on cooler milk if it
is fed at the same temperature every
day. The right temperature for the
milk fed the young calf is blood heat
100 degrees F. The milk should be as
nearly this temperature as it is possible
to get it.

mother at this time. If the calf is
weak at birth or if the cows udder is
infiamed or caked it probably is bet
ter practice to allow it to remain with
its mother for several days. In case
the calf is Immediately taken away
from its mother it should by all means
receive the mothers first milk. The
milk at this time contains a high per
cent of protein and ash, which act
as a laxative and tonic and are very
effective in cleaning out the digestive
tract and stimulating the digestive or
gans. In some cases it is not safe to
feed the milk from cows to their calves
after the first few days.

FIGHT SMUT, SAVE GRAIN. !.
Millions of Dollars Loss Which Mieht
Be Prevented Easily.

Smut is an insidious enerny that
causes millions of dollars of loss an
nually in our small grain crops. 1t is
possible for men to grow grain year
after year, realizing that there is a
little smut present. yet utterly failing
to realize the percentage of loss that
it involves. 1t is one parasitic dis
ease for which there is a specific rem
edy, one that may be applied at a
very small outlay for chemicals and
involving comparatively little labor,
says writer in the Iowa Homestead
While there are several remedies
we have always preferred formalin in
the proportion of one pound of this
chemical to forty gallons of water
Formalin, it may be said, is 40 per
cent solution of formaldehyde. Grain
to be treated should be spread out on
the barn floor and the mixture of wa
ter and formalin added until the
whole mass becomes thoroughly wet
Uniform wetting can only be accom-
plished by freely shoveling the gra in
over and over When we first began
treating grain for smut we used a
sprinkling can, thinking in that way
that we would do the work cautiously
and yet thoroughly. But we very soon
learueu lHaI where any considerable
amount of grain was to be treated a
sprinkling can was not necessary We
simply made a trench through the CEN
ter of the grain and began pouring on
our liquid with an ordinary pail
When the water started to seep from
the sides of the pile che shovels were
then started. We learned that a
bushel of grain would take up about
one gallon of water, so that forty
bushels would require only one pound
of formalin.
After the grain has been thoroughly
wet it should be shoveled into a deep,
conical pile and covered with horse
blankets or some such material, to be
! left for a period of at least two hours.

MILLIONS THAT SMALL
MERCHANTS SHOULD GET.
City Tradesmen Made Wealthy by
the Money Sent In by Country
Purchasers

1t is a recognized fact that the retail
business of the country villages and
the large towns, for that matter, is In
serious danger. Year by year the once
prosperous merchants are being forced
to the wall-driven out by the mail or
der business. And this is taking place
in face of the fact that the population
and purchasing power of the country
districts are ever on the increase
What is the matter?
The mail order houses are drawing
the cash retail trade from its natural
channels to the cities.
The growth of this octopus has been
phenomenal. From a jellylike idea
without form-an experiment fifteen
years ago, it has grown to proportions
that threaten the determination of the
retail country merchant.
Thousands of people every week send
in their hard earned cash to some mail
order house in payment for goods that
could have been bought cheaper at
their home store.
Why do they do it? 1t is owing
partially to the desire of the average
person to be humbugged and partially
to the effect of persistent advertising.
The mail order house sends out its at
tractive literature to every family in
the country. In this literature, COM
posed of well illustrated catalogues
and cheap magazines known as mail
order papers, the goods are set forth in
the most attractive manner. 1t is
tempting bait, and the fish bite.
All of these millions come out of the
legitimate trade of the country mer-
chant, the man who has invested his
capital, built himself a home and been
active in building up the town, with
the expectation that he would be al
lowed to do legitimate business in Il
legitimate way. He is entitled to the
trade of his town and the country
adjacent. He pays his taxes and con-
tributes TO the support of the commu-
nifty. That community owes him re-
ciprocal duty-the duty to give him the
preference of trade, everything else be-
ing equal. This is the theory of all
organized civilized communities, begin
ming with the family and going on vi
through every organiza ton to that OF
the state. Home protection from for
eign robbers is the first duty of every
| good citizen.

PRIZES FOR YOUNG FARMERS.
Western States Interested In Making

Western States Interested In Making
Good Corn Growers of Boys and Girls.
Extension of encouragement to child
farmers will be marked throughout the
corn states this season. The results
of last year in awakening new interest
in the farms and overcoming some of
the allurements of the cities We're such
that state officials and leading men in
other walks are getting behind the
movement. Prizes for the best boy
corn growers have already been offer
ed in Oklahoma and Missouri.
The Oklahoma State Fair associa-
ton will give as first prize a trip to
Washington with all expenses paid
and other prizes in cash. Farmers and
business men are adding other induce
ments, The contest is open to any boy
or girl in the state between the ages
of nine and eighteen years. Each CON
testant must plan his own crop and.
so far as possible, do his own work
planting not less than an acre of corn
and following the instructions of the
farmers cooperative demonstration
work, in which the department of ag-
riculture is assisting. The young grow
ers must all belong to clubs. so that
their work may be properly super

been offered to them.

great success. Interest is everywhere

In a paper on Taking a Calf From

The exact time of taking the calf
from its mother will depend upon the
condition of the calf and its mother at
the time of calving. If the calf is
strong and in good condition it may be
taken away Immediately without al

EASIEST RATTLEsHIP

The fastest Dreadnought in the
American navy and probably in the
world is the title claimed for the Flor
ida, which made 22-54 knots on her
Standardization trial. The Florida,
which is one of the six all big guns
of the Dreadnought type in commits
sion in the American navy, was design
ed for a maximum speed of twenty
one knots. She is more than one and
a half knots faster than the speed de-
manded. What makes the fine show
ing particularly pleasing to naval Off
GERS is the fact that the Florida is
one of the two battleships built in a
government navy yard and by govern-
ment labor and under the supervision
of officers of the naval construction
corps.
