RATIONS FOR DAIRY CALVES
Little eioodmeaI Frequently Recon-
mended az Preventive and Cure
for Calf Scours.

That while linseed meal sometimes
gives very excellent results, yet on the
whole other preparations are to be pre-
ferred says Hoard's Dairyman. Corn,
barley. oats and bran are recommend
ed for this purpose. With the young
calf a mixture of low grade flour,
sieyed ground oats, cornmeal or lin
seed oil meal made into a jelly by
boiling, continuing such feed for two
or three weeks, while the stomach
is small and incapable OF utilizing
coarscr feeds. is suggested AS soon
as possible, however change to whole
corn or whole oats with or without
a little oil meal fed dry.
Among other mixtures proposed Is
one consisting Of 20 pounds Of corn
meal. 20 pounds Of oatmeal 20 pounds
OF oilmeal. 10 pounds Of bloodmeal.
5 pounds OF bonemeal Change to
corn, oats and bran when calves are
three months old A little of the
bloodmeal as a part of the dairy ra,
ton Is very frequently recommended.
1t seems to have in some way a tonic
effect, and is also claimed to be both
a preventive and cure for calf
scours.

We pole our beans with round poles

pole to each hill and the four poles
form square brought together and
tied with common binder twine, about
nine feet from the ground. This gives

ADVANTAGES OF DAIRY FARM

Prof. F. L. Kent. Of the dairy hus-

the advantages OF dairy farming in
the Oregon Countryman, a monthly
magazine published by the students
at o. A. c.:
Briefly stated, the advantages Of
dairy farming are: Increasing pro-

Assessments Increased.

As should have been expected.
there is being urged the stronges;
of protests by the corporations
whose assessments have been IN
creased by the State Board of APP
praisers. The increase in the valu-
ations Of the public utility corpora
tions over last year is about five
million dollars. The enhancements
are predicated on the natural busi-
ness increase as we'll as the greater
valuation of the taxable properties.
And, as should have been expect
ed, certain interests have combined
with these public utility corpora
tions in criticising the State Board
of Appraisers. One of these critics
of the Board of Appraisers is Com
missioner Thompson OF New Or
leans, who has declared that an in
crease of valuation of such proper
ties to half million is too sudden.
but he has not suggested the scale
at which the assessments should be
advanced.
In the long years when these
properties have gradually advanced
in value, were under assessed, there
was no complaint or objection
urged, but now that these properties
have been assessed approximately
at their value on a basis of fifty per
cent, there is raised a hue and cry,
reinforced with plants of inevitable
ruin and of threats that will Ope-
rate to the detriment of the State.
The only issue is: Has the State
Board of Appraisers conformed to
the requirements Of the law and are
the assessments fair and equitable?
If the assessments of these public
utilities are cOnfOrmable to the eX-
igencies of law, the State Board of
Appraisers should be commended
instead of being condemned in the
| furtherance of their duty.
The law which applies to individ-
uals should be equally as good for
the corporations.

DeSOtO Cattle In the Kansas City
Market.

Mansfield Enterprise: From the
stock market report, issued by the
Kansas City Stock Yard Company
under date of April 10, furnished us
by Mr.. H. Hollingsworth of this
place, we note that Sloan & Story
of Frierson sold 20 steers for $6.75
gross and they averaged 1888 pounds
and brought S5O.85 each. Mr. Stew.
art of Frierson sold so head at $500,
the average weight 1172 or $77.35 a
head. With these figures before US
it would seem that there could be
no better business than raising cat
tie in DeSoto Parish, and our peo-
pie should profit by the example OF
these progressive and enterprising
citizens. It is a fact that it does not
cost $40 to raise a COW here, and
allowing S12 for fattening them for
market and $3.50 for transportation,
would leave a splendid margin OF
profit.

A misrepresentation.

Representative Elder from the
Fifth Louisiana District, along with
five other Louisiana congressman,
voted with about thirty-five Demo-
Gratis to retain Is per cent duty on
wool. In other words, these Demo-
Gratis voted against free wool We
regret to see the Fifth District man
getting into protective company. AS
far as we have been able to diScOv-
er, congressman Watkins and As
we'll were either not present or
voted i'll the caucus to admit wool
free. If they did so, we congratulate
them on the stand taken, for we be-
lieve North Louisiana, at least, de-
sires free wool. AS matter of fact,
the free wool schedule was adopted
by the House Democratic caucus by
an overwhelming majority despite
the opposition of the six Louisiana
congressman Monroe News-Star.
Congressman Elder is a misrepre-
sentative of the people by whom he
was elected; and he is also, with
Senators Thornton and Ransdell
and sugar congressman, misrepre-
sentative of the Democracy OF
Louisiana.
