POSSIBILITIES OF CALF ARE
DETERMINED BY FEED AND CARE
VounSster Should Always be Allowed First

principal diet Of the calf for eight
months or a year. Factory skim-milk
should always be pasteurized to avoid
the spread Of tuberculosis. The best
skim-milk is that which is fresh from
the separator and still warm. EX-
periments show that it is only one
fourth as expensive to raise calf on
skim-milk as whole milk. Two
pounds Of grain with the proper
amount of skim-milk equals one
pound of butter fat. Buttermilk or
whey may profitably be fed to calves.
Grain for calves should be fed first
while the calf Is quite small with a
little bran to aid the calf in learning
to eat. High priced concentrates are
unnecessary and give not better re-
suits than corn meal, oats and bran,
ground barley, etc., when fed in
proper combinations. At four to six
weeks calf has good teeth and can
grind his own feed. A variety Of
feeds is advantageous and best re-
suits will usually be secured from mix
lures.
The following list may serve as a
guide to the calf feeder in making
selections or combinations to suit his
conditions:
1. Corn meal gradually changed in
four to six weeks to shelled corn with
or without bran.
2. Whole oats and bran.
3. Whole oats and corn chop, the
latter gradually replaced by shelled
corn in four to six weeks.
4. Ground barley with bran or
shelled corn.
5. Shelled corn and ground Kafir
corn or sorghum.
6. Whole oats, ground barley and
bran.
Z. A mixture of 20 pounds Of corn
meal, 20 pounds Of oat meal, 20
pounds Of oil meal, 10 pounds Of blood
meal and pounds Of bone meal,
changed to corn, oats and bran when
calves are three months old.
s. A mixture of s pounds whole
oats, 8 pounds bran, 1 pound corn
meal and 1 pound of linseed meal.
The calf may be taught to eat
grain by rubbing little on its mouth
when it Is through drinking milk.
From this it will soon learn to eat
from the feed box.
The roughage for calves should
first be fed at two or three weeks Of
age when the calf begins to eat grain.
Good clean hay, either timothy, blue
grass, clover or alfalfa, may be used.
Corn silage is an excellent calf feed
when fed in moderate amounts. Good
pasture is an essential after four to-
six months of age, and II the calf is
turned out for only few hours each
day at first scours will be avoided.

Euos and Exercise.

The hens to lay we'll in cold weather
must have plenty Of exercise. If they
are to be confined, give them deep
litter of straw to scratch in, and place
the grain feed in this straw so they
will scratch. Inactive hens will not
lay. 1t is a good plan on the farm to
allow the chickens the run Of all the
barns and stables during the day. They
will do no damage at this time and
will secure a lot of feed that would
otherwise go to waste. In securing 1t
they will be compelled to exercise.
which will promote laying. Also, the
barn Is dry, warm place for fowls
In winter, and dryness and warmth
are great factors in their health and
productiveness. They can easily be
shut out Of the barn at night.

LARGE DEMAND
FOR FAT GEESE
Corn Meal and MIR, With Some
Beef Scraps, Makes Almost
Ideal Retion-Mash
Also Good.

Dressed geese are largely in demand
in the cities during the fall months,
but choice birds will bring good
prices the entire year, writes w. F.
Purdue, in an exchange. Do not Of
fer old stock, however, as they are not
desired by the purchasers, and are
more suitable to their owners as
breeders. There is no advantage of
selling off the old stock Of geese, as
they live many years, and the older
birds are generally best for breeding
purposes, and the young ones bring
better prices in the market.
Do not proceed to fatten the geese
suddenly, but confine gradually. Al
low several in a small yard, which
should be kept clean and somewhat
darkened.
Corn meal and milk, with some beef
scraps, wheat and brewers grains
fatten we'll.
A mash composed Of four parts
cornmeal, one part wheat bran, one
part middlfngs and one part OF beef
scraps is a very good ration. Wet
this just enough to have it in dry,
crumbly state, and feed all they will
eat up clean three times day.
Do not give them green food while
fattening. They should be kept away
from bathing water during this Pc
riod, but a plenty Of water for drink
ing purposes should be kept in their
pen. Also keep good supply Of grit
before them. Fast for twenty-four
hours before killing.
Goslings may be put up to fatter
when from to 10 weeks old. After
they are IL weeks old they will begin
to shed, and will fatten readily then
until the end of the season. Previ-
Gus to being confined they should
have good range where grass is
plentiful, and it will then require but
3 few days to get them ready.

POsTOFF|CE SHOWS
BUSINESS GROWTH
Large Increase Noted in Re-
ceipts and Volume of
Mail Matter.

a general increase Of business in
every department of the Salt Lake post"
office during the past twelve months is
an excellent indication OF the rapidly
expanding commercial Importance of
the city. With the new parcels post
law going into effect within few days,
the volume of business which tho con-
Germs Of the city will do throughout
the entire iutcrmountaiu region is ex-
pected largely to increase during the
next twelve months.
The Salt Lake postoffice has been
designated by the postmaster general
as the office at which all foreign pack
ages through the parcels post, upon
which there is q customs duty. must
be appraised, if their destinations are
in Utah, Nevada or Wyoming. This
will entail the establishment of a new
department here. Preparations are now
being made to handle the increased
business which is expected by reason
OF the parcels post, and officials believe
that the new system will be in full
operation within thirty davs.

Receipts Increase.

The increase in stamp sales for the
quarters during the year are as fol-
lows First quarter. $97 ,S73.02; second
quarter, 97,94972; third quarter,
sl03,3 ,36S.09, fourth quarter, (estimated)
$1l7,700.
There has been a slight increase in
the volume Of second class mail mat
ter. amounting TO $l772 The total
receipts from this class Of mail for
the year are S22,201.27. A very slight
decrease In third class postage and box
rents are the only decreases in the re-
ceipts for the year, The amounts in
both cases are small. however, and
would not indicate any falling off OF
business.
Perhaps the best indication Of the
prosperous condition OF business as
shown by the postoffice is the increase
IN both the sale aud payment OF money
orders. There were $4,000 domestic
money orders issued. tho total value of
which was s9I9,5s0o5, an increase of
% per cent. This is probably as big
gain as could be shown by city the
size of Salt Lake in the United States
But while nearly 81 900, 900 was sent
out OF the city by the government, al.
most 81 100000 was paid out in orders
made out to Salt Lake firms and resi-
dents. The total amount OF domestic
money orders paid here is 81 400. .I56. .3s.
The number Of orders was l32.46O. This
is an increase over 1911 Of % per cent.

contrast 10 this there was decrease Of
80 per cent in tho amount Of the inter
national money orders paid by the To-
cal office. Undoubtedly this may be ac.
counted for by the fact that many for

Not many gymnasiums have been es-
tablished in connection with the il
braries. Tho reason for tins lies in
the fact that the practical workings
are so different from those of the
library that the two can hardly be run
together to best advantage. In his be-
quests thus far Carnegie has not been
willing to give funds for tho erection
OF the gymnasium, so we have been
obliged to abandon the idea of join
ing tho two Institutions in all cases
where his gift was concerned.
In Salt Lake and Ogden particular
ly the public playground is being main
tanned very successfully. Tho schools
are gradually providing more roomy
Fairgrounds and equippiug them with
modern apparatus. This seems to be
the best solution OF the gymnasium
idea, the only one feasible in fact for
our smaller towns
