DISEASES OF CUcUMBERs
Reply TO c. V. Fox

II have trouble with my cucumbers
dying too early. They get some kind
OF yellow spots in the leaves and the
vines die before they get done bearing.
l have been using Bordeaux mixture.
l used blue stone. Is this the same
as copper sulphate? When should
lime be added to the soil?"
The disease attacking our CORE
spondent'S cucumber vines is known as
"downy mildew," 4 parasitic fungus.
Bordeaux mixture is the best remedy
you can use; but this will have no
effect if the fungus has gained con-
siderable Roadway. Bordeaux mixture
should be made as follows:
For young PLANTS lbs. copper sui
phate, & lbs. lime to 50gallons of water.
When the plants get older. use 4 lbs.
copper sulphate, lbs. lime to 90 gal
Ions of water.
Blue stone is the commercial mama
for copper sulphate.
The beneficial element in lime is
calcium, and it should be applied on
soils that are acid in nature. On soils
that are not in this condition, lime

acidity of the soil may be determined
by the use of litmus paper, which may
be obtained at almost any drug store.
Press the moist soil around the blue
litmus paper for ten or fifteen minutes.
If the paper is now red or pink i'm color
1t will indicate that your soil is acid
There are eight or ten different kinds
Of commercial lime, but where it is
possible to obtain finely ground lime
stone, this is the most desirable form
to use. 1t supplies the necessary cal
cium, and yet the action on the Vege-
table matter is not as severe as it is
with other forms of lime.
We regret to say that the Service
Bureau does not have Farmers Bulle-
tins for general distribution, but you
will be able to obtain these by writing

If we can be of further service at
any time. we will be pleased to hear
from you.

FEEDING CALVES
Reply to W. T. TURNrR. Chic. o.

We have your letter Of recent datefr
which you ask for some information
on feeding calves, but you do not stale
how old yourc1lveS are. Young calves
should be fed on whole milk for soma
time, and changes i'm their feed should
be made gradually. After week or
ten days the whole milk feed may ia
changed TO one Of half skim and
half whole milk. Decrease the whole
milk until you are feeding the calf
entirely on skim milk II is well n
have quantity of grain convenient
so that the calf will have an oppcr.
tunity TO learn to eat as early IS
possible. IL probably will not learn to
eat grain for some little time. Tbi,
may be FASTENED, however. by MIXING
small amount of bran with the milk
or you may add small quantity Of
low-grade flour.
Skim milk contains some mora
protein and carbohydrate than whole
milk, so for feeding il is best to pick
a grain that will not supply large
quantities OF these materials. In some
instances calves may do very well ON
highly-concentrated feed. but these
feeds are usually very expensive. and
there are other substitutes that are
just as good. Usually no betterreslllts
can be obtained from high-priced con-
centrates than from feedingsuch grain
as corn, katlir corn. sorghum. barley or
oats. The following mixtures have
been found TO give very good salts
faction:
Whole oats and bran.
Whole oats, corn, barley, and
bran.
A mixture Of Is pounds of whole
oats, pounds of bran, pounds of
corn meal, and 3 pounds Of linseed
meal is also q very good feed for calves.
Together with these concentrates
the young and growing calf should
have plenty Of fresh water, and be
allowed TO play in the sun. 1t should
also have free access to good clover or
alfalfa hay. If these are not avail
able, timothy hay and corn fodder are
perhaps the next best. If you have 4
silo, small quantities of enSilage Will
keep the calf in good condition during
the winter months.
II the calf does not gain when taking
the whole milk, it should be weaned.
Try half skim and half whole milk for
a while. Sometimes the addition of a
spoonful Of lime water to each feed
will correct the difficulty.
Calves may suffer from scours when
put on grass but usually there will be
very little difficulty if they are allowed
to feed but a short time at first, then
gradually increasing the period each
day until they become accustomed to
the change. Sudden changes of feed
are not good and should be avoided.

ROTATION OF CROPS
Reply to a Michigan corres,opd.D,

u am growing sugar beets and my
land seems to be decreasing in produc-
ton. What rotation can l use?"
In some localities it has been found
that beets do best following alfalfa,
corn and small grains. A very good
rotation is as follows: First, wheat:
second year, beets; then clover for two
years, last crop being plowed under;
then potatoes, and the rotation re-
peated. If alfalfa can be grown in
your locality it is a good plan TO in
clude this in the rotation.
In Montana the best rotation for
beet raising is as follows: Wheat,
clover, oats, sugar beets, barley and
peas. In Utah the following rotation
gives good satisfaction: First year,
sugar beets; second year, peas and oats
for forsge; third year, sugar beets;
fourth year. oats. Eeeded To alfalfa;
fifth year, alfalfa
