ATTENTION TO SHEEP FLOCK
No Animal Feels and Shows Nesiect
More Quickly-should Have a Well
Ventilated Shed.

Sheep are dainty feeders. They VIII
not eat hay that other stock have
mnssed over. and they will refuse
grain taken from a ratty bin.
Sheep should have a w~ell-ventilated
shed, high and dry. In dry weather
they should be allowed their freedom
TO run out and in at will.
Nothing will feel or show neglect
as quickly as sheep. Place the un-
thrifty ewes by themselves, and give
them a little extra feed. Perhaps they
are suffering from the greed OF the
bosses in the flock, and are not getting
a full ration. Oats. wheat. bran. I'm

The value of growing heifer calves
from COWS of known ability Is a COM
mon theme among men that are In
terested in progressive dairy prac-
tees. It's consideration, however. Is
worthy Of repeated mention as THIS
one point serves as the keystone OF
the dairy business. The proper man
during the first few months
of their life stands next In line OF I'M
portance.
The following brief rules may assist
some in growing their calves, especiai-
ly. those who use skim milk as the
main portion of the ration.
Points to Observe in Raising Calves
With Skimmllk.
1. Remove the calf from the
mother not later than the third day
but feed IL the mothers milk for
about two weeks.
2. When w weeks old. gradually
| change to skimmilk, using about one
week to make the change.
3. Feed only about five or 81
quarts per day for the first three days
| Then increase to seven or eight quart!
as necessary.
4. Feed so that each calf gets tn
full portion intended for 1t.
S. 1t is best to feed warm MILF
Cold milk will usually cause indlges
ton in a young calf
6. Begin feeding a little dry cor
meal as soon as they will take 1t.
Z. Provide good hay or pasture a
ter the calf is three weeks DID
8. All utensils used in feeding IN
calves must be kept clean.

SOME PURE-MILK PROBLEMS
Most important Aside From Feeding
IL of Barn and Its Accommoda-
lions, Says Oregon Student.

For the dairyman whose aim is the
profitable production of pure milk,
probably the most important problem,
aside from the feeding, is that Of the
barn and it's accommodations, writes
E. S. Wisdom, a student at the Ore
gon Agricultural college, in an article
in the Oregon Countryman, the stu
dent AGRICULTURAL magazine.
The dairy cow requires, for the high
est production, comfortable n
healthy quarters which are protected
from the inclement weather, he con-
tinues. A warm, substantial stable is
! almost imperative in the cold climate.
1t must not be forgotten, however, that
the health of the herd is likely to be
impaired unless proper precautions are
taken to insure rigid cleanliness and
abundance of light and fresh air.
An expensive structure is unneces-
sary, but one that will be convenient
for the labor and furnish ~contentment
to the herd should be provided. The
location should be chosen to maintain
the highest degree Of sanitation, de
pending largely upon the drainage
The tile-drained b~arnyards often elm
mate the undesirable conditions found
commonly. Whenever it is possible
the barn should be built on a knoll
though never on an elevation higher
than the house occupies.
Convenience of access from diferen
parts of the farm saves labor and time
Barns near a main road or across
road from the house are not recon
mended. The landing should fac
north and south. so that the sunligh
might enter from both sides durin

HONOR BIG EVENT
Dutch Celebrate Recall OF the
House of Orange.

Holland Now One Of Centers

Paris.-Last summer the Dutch COM
pleted the first century of their liberia

After the Battle OF Leipzig, In 1913,
In which Napoleon was defeated. the
French were driven out OF Holland
and the House of Orange once more
recalled TO power. In November or
that year the prince Of Orange, son
of William V, returned from England
and was proclaimed William /. Of the
Netherlands. It is the centenary or
this historic event that was commem-
grated with manifestations OF patriot
ism in the little country of dikes and
dunes, says the American Review OF
Reviews.
Since the beginning Of the TWEEN
tieth century Holland has come to be
looked upon by the world chiefly as
the home of that splendid internation-
al tribunal at The Hague by the
agreement Of all the civilized powers
of the world for the settlement OF dis
putes between nations. The first
world peace conference was held In
the Dutch capital in 1899 n the sec

Wilhelmina, at the age OF eighteen

In 1898, the reform Of Dutch franchise
laws had begun. Electoral reform has
been one of the mooted questions In
Dutch parliamentary procedure ever
since. One Of the most. important
pieces Of legislation passed by the
states general during recent years
was a law Tin 1909 making railroad
strikes illegal. Other questions o
coast defence, colonies and a new Gus

How Birds Destroy the Bagworm:
W~oodpeckers and ~eIackbirds Break
Through the Tough Silk Bags. The
Birds Are Very Helpful in the War
fare Against This Pest.

TO orchards and 10 shade trees and or
namental shrubs in cities, parks and
cemeteries have occasioned a great
deal 'of loss in the past three or four
years.
The bagworm is easy TO control, at
least upon trees of moderate size.
There are two methods of destroying
the pest. BY collecting all of the bags
and by spraying with poison. IL the
bagworm is restricted to only n few
trees. one can eaeily collect all of the
bags in the winter when the leaves
arc off. This method is in common
use and is entirely effective. IL care

OF the question in very large orchards
or groves. In such cases Ii is neces-
sary TO spray when the young cater
pillars begin 10 feed upon the foliage
in the spring. Early spraying should
be practiced as the pest is destroyed
before the foliage is consumed. The

the cooling moth, just after the bios
SONS fall in the spring. will also con
troll the bagworm in orchards. One
careful application of poison before
