ed with disease-producing bacteria.
Farmers should therefore allow the
no.ik to sour quickly and then feed
it without delay.
In the course Of these experiments
sour milk was fed to % calves, Hol-
stems. Jerseys, and Guernseys, at diff
ferent seasons of the year. In no case
did it cause digestive disturbances
even when the change from sweet to
sour milk was made abruptly when
the calves were only a few days old.
Moreover, no evil results followed the
alternate use of sweet and sour. It
seems, therefore, that the common
idea that sour milk leads to scours is
quite unfounded.
The calves, it was found, did not
like the SOU milk as well as the
sweet, but in the majority of cases
soon became accustomed to it. The
aversion, however, increased when the
the milk was fed them at a low tenn
perature.

Sour Skim Milk For Calves.

That in summer time calves do as

many farmers who have hitherto been
kept from raising calves by the ex-
pense Of keeping the milk sweet in
hot weather. This expense expert
ments carried out by the department
indicate to be quite unnecessary. The
calves will make as rapid gains on
soul skim milk. In winter, it is true,
this is not quite SO satisfactory. 1t
chills the calves and some Of them
drink it with great reluctance. Very
young calves have even been known
to refuse it altogether. On the other
hand, of course, it is much easier tc
keep the milk sweet in winter.
In calling the attention of farmers
to these facts, however, the depart
ment at the same time emphasizes an
important preeaution. Unless the milk
is produced and kept under clearly
conditions it NAV become contaminat-

Hail Insurance

The present crop outlook justi6es every farmer
in protecting himself against a loss by hail. No bust
ness man can afford to be without insurance to protect
himself and his creditors, and as the farmer depends
entirely upon his crops, he cannot afford to be clean
ed up by a hail storm and have no Hail Insurance.
When you insure against hail you should select
a good company. George %Juergens of Devils Lake
is the man to talk with about this as he has written
insurance for years and he will insure you in the
best companies doing business in the state today.
