CALF HINTS.
BY r. G. JONES, Assistant Pro-
lessor Of Dairying, Montana
Agricultural College.

+ + + j. !. = j. i. ! !. !. !. + i. + + +
If you wish to raise a calf that will
be strong and rugged at birth, give
the mother those feeds rich in ash,
which cannot be used as fuel in the
body but which make up the frame.
work of the calf.
!. !. +
Let the calf come into the world on
a bed of good clean straw. 1t will be
less liable to have white scours than
if dropped in a dirty gutter.
i. j. +
1t is a good plan to disinfect the
naval of a new born calf with a weak
carbolic acid solution or with a solu-
ton of formalin. This will help to
prevent white cours
Leave the calf with the COW for the
first two or three days. Both COW and
calf will do better for it.
i i. +
At any rate feed the calf the colo
strum or first milk from its mother. 1t
cleans out it's digestive tract and con-
tains other elements necessary for its
welfare.
Do not overfeed the young calf. 1t is
better to feed a small quantity three
or four times a day than to overload
its stomach. The calf's stomach is
small and weak at first and a little
care at this time often mean the diff
ference between a profitable and an
improbable COW.
! !. +
The amount to be fed should not be
determined by guess work. Weigh OF
measure it, for it is easy to overesti.
mate.
In the natural state the calf gets
its feed at blood heat, or about loo
degrees F.. Always feed at this tenn
perature and test it, not with your
finger but with a dairy thermometer
One costs only rs cents.
!. + +
The mother furnishes the milk In q
sanitary condition. Follow her exam
pie and see that the feed pals are
clean.
At an early age the calf, with a lit
tie coaxing, will learn to eat ground
oats. They are nourishing and in
v%igorating.
After one or two months skim mill
can gradually be substituted for whole
milk. At first reduce the whole mill
only slightly, taking a week or SO to
make the complete change.
+ j. j
Dairy calves should be taught al
an early age to eat roughage in order
to develop the capacity Of the stomt
ach.
Good, clean clover hay is the best
%roughage to use because besides be
ing bulky it is rich in ash and pro
tein, which are necessary in building
the framework and tissues OF tbs
growing animal.
!. !. !.
If a little good clover is placed in
a rack in the gen., the calf will begin
chewing it while still quite young.
:: !. i
Keep your calves growing from the
time they are a week old until they
come into milk. Give those feeds that
will make bone and muscle rather
than fat.
= !. j.
Give the calf a good long streak @,
sunlight. 1t helps to keep him thrift
ty.
! j. +
Keep plenty of good dry bedding in
the calf pen. The animals will not
grow we'll unless given a dry place to
lie.
i i !.
Have a we'll drained, sunny yard for
your calves to run in through the mid.
die of the day.

Fifteen milers and dealers in flour and
grain. located between Charles Town
and Port Republic, Va, have petitioned
the Interstate Commerce Commission
for lower freight rate on flour and grain
from Valley-of Virginia points to South
west Virginia and southern West Virginia.
The Norfolk and Western Railroad is
made defendant in the action. II is set
forth that the Norfolk and Western FORM
eily had rate for these products rang
ing from 10 to II cents per 100 pounds.
These rates have been increased from IA
to Is cents per 100 pounds, and the mil
lers contend they are unreasonable.
Some OF the biggest millers in the Valley
OF Virginia are among the plaintiffs.
They have complained for years that
western flour is delivered in Virginia at
cheaper freight rates than is allowed their
own home product.

POULTRY PESTS
REDUCE PROFITS
Continued Discomfort and Loss
of Blood Causes Fowls to
Produce Fewer Eggs
some EFFECTIVE REMEDIES
Disinfectants Should Be Freely Used
Remedies for Individual
Cases.

DISCRIMINATING poultry mites and lice
from the flock is not difficult task.
Filth and dampness are conducive
to the increase of the pests, while a
setting hen with broken eggs is par
adise for pest multiplication. Plenty
of sunshine and fresh air will do much
to hinder their growth and thrift.
Mites do not remain on the fowls
all the time, usually only long enough
to feed, when the fowls are roosting
After this they wander about in search
of another hos to poster, or they re
tire into crevices, where they remain
until the following night However
if they are very numerous, they may be
seen crawling about during the day
The mites seem to realize when hen
is nearby and may be found upon her
soon after she settles upon her nest.
The loss caused by the chicken
mite is in direct ratio to the amount
of infection. Cleanliness and sunshine
considerably reduce the abundance OF
mites. but some means of killing and
keeping the mites from the perches Is
necessary in order to exterminate
them. This Is best done by painting
the perches and those parts OF the
building nearest the perches. There
are many disinfecting paints on the
market which are good, most OF them
Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1913-11-13

being coal tar by-products. These
paints are generally expensive as com
pared with crude oil, which will exter
inmate the mites if applied Otter
enough, but it is advisable to mix equa'
parts of crude oil with one of the
paints, such as naphthaline, chloride
or carbolinium.
The species of lice affecting poul'
try are more numerous than the mites,
but as they do not suck the blood, as
do the mites, they are less injurious.
Lice are ry a tive, wandering about
among the feathers, biting off the
scales or dandruff and the edges of the
feathers. Their sharp claws contin'
ually prick the skin, drawing blood
which they deyour eagerly. 1t is no
wonder that this continual worry and
loss of sleep causes disorders and
weakens the hen, thereby seriously af'
fecting the egg production.
AS the lice stay on the fowl all the
time, except at night, when they travel
from one fowl to another, they must
be killed by treating each fowl indi
vidually. The fowls may be treated
with good results by number OF
methods.

his family got instruction from distant
physician. AntidoteS were administered

arteries in his wrist. He was in danger
OF bleeding to death. DR.. Meyers, al

Lice killing dusts may be used
Their value usually depends upon the
strength and freshness of the in
gradients. One application is neces
sary to kill the adult lice, while "a
other application a few days later
necessary to catch the newly-hatched
eggs and nits.
A remedy which gives very satisfac
tory results, requiring only one appli
cation to Ill the lice and remaining
effective for half | year, is a salve
made of the following:
% parts OF lard.
% parts tallow.
so parts mercury.
parts oleate of mercury.
Apply by parting the fluff near the
vent and rubbing on the skin guam
tity of salve the size of a pea. In cold
weather the salve should be warmed
II the fowls have at all times fine
dry dust to wallow in they will keep
the mites and lice in check, avoiding
serious infestation. The direct sun
shine should reach the dust box daily
Tobacco dust, slaked lime, or plaster
mixed with soft coal or wood ashes OF
dust makes an excellent wallow.
1t is not sufficient to keep the mites
and lice in check in order to prevent
serious damage, for when only slightly
infested there is loss of flesh.

Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1913-05-22

Friends of Ex.G Governor John Burke
are urging him to make the race for
U. S. Senator next year under the new
amendment providing for the election
of senators by a direct vote of the
people. The Arena would be glad to
see North Dakota's favorite son carry
off the honor of being the first to be
elected to the senate from his home
state and we predict that the popular
ex-governor could give the successful
republican nominee the race Of his life
if he would but consent to shy his castor
into the ring, This state has never had
a more justly popular official than John
Burke and there is no honor, state or
national, that could come to him which
he would not be able to fill with credit
to his state and to himself. Nothing
would please us more than an oppor.

Roosevelt is said to be now in favor of
a treaty with Great Britain in which
both countries agree to submit to arbitra-
ton all questions arising between them.
This is exactly contrary to the colonefs
attitude on arbitration when the British
and French treaties were pending. He
then maintained that there are ques-
tions which no self-respecting nation can
agree to arbitrate, and he was very m
phatic about it. too. Is the Colonel now
%misquoted, or has he seen new light?

THE NEXT STATE ELECTION.

As matters now stand there is no GER
tainty that the republican party will
win the next state contest in North
Dakota. The Bull Moose party will not
win it, but the democrats may. The
republican party has ADDED no strength
to its forces stree the inauguration, or
since the adjournment of the legislature,
and the Bull Moose party, the Roosevelt
Perkins private party, Is losing ground
every day, because the real Roosevelt
and the motives behind him, are being
found out.
Real reform republicans must control
the nomination of candidates next year
else the republican party will go down
to defeat. Neither Walt Taylor or Gun
der Olson as the candidate for governor
can lead to victory. This statement
may not be relished by some, but it is a
correct and proper one to make.
The people ale getting to be more in
dependent than heretofore. They are
getting to be less and less inclined to
rely on good promises. They will vote
independent of party whenever it is
necessary to get the best results. No
party will hereafter be certain to control
by mere weight of numbers in a prior
election. The people are independent
and intend to remain so when indie
pendence means better government.
Politicians states will not be accepted
as representing party principles. There
will be less politics and more statesman
ship in the near future.-Pink Paper.

1t is Bismarck gossip that Governor
Hanna will make the race for United
States senator to succeed Gronna. 4Attor-
ney General Miller is mentioned as the
possible candidate of the insurgeat
wing of the republican party, while no
mention is made as to what Gronna
himself will do. 1t is also said IN con.
nection with the Hanna programme
that Senator McCumber will throw his
support to the governor. Which is per.
fectly natural and to be expected.
Hanna and McCumber have always
worked ~together-for everything big
business wanted-and both being died
in-the-wool gang republicans they must
staId together.
