SOUR SKIM MILK
FOR CALVES

That in summer time calves do as
well on sour skim milk as they do on
sweet will be interesting news to many
farmers who have hereto been kept
from raising calves by the expense of
keeping the milk sweet in hot weather.
The expense experiments carried out
by the department indicate to be quite
unnecessary. The calves will make
as rapid gains on sour skim milk. In
winter, it is true, this is not quite so
satisfactory. 1t chills the calves and
some of them drink it with with great
reluctance. Very young calves have
been known to refuse it altogether. On
the other hand, of course, it is much
easier to keep the milk sweet in winter
In calling the attention of farmers to
these facts, however, the department
at the same time emphasizes an i'm
portant precaution. Unless the milk is
produced and kept under clearly con-
ditions, it may become contaminated
with disease producing bacteria. Farm
ers should therefore allow the milk to
sour quickly and then feed them with
out delay.
In the course Of these experiments
sour skim milk was fed to % calves,
Holsteins, Jerseys, and Guernseys, at
different 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 few days old. More
over no evil results followed the alter
nate use of sweet and sour. II seems,
therefore, that the common idea that
sour milk leads to scours is quite un-
founded
The calves, il was found, did not like
the sour milk as well as the sweet, but
in the majority of cases soon became
accustomed to it. The aversion, how
ever, increased when the milk was fed
them at low temperature.

EASIER TO SHIP
LIVE STOCK NOW


New regulations governing the in
terstate movement OF live stock became
effective July1, 1914, These changes
are designed by the Department of
Agriculture to facilitate the movement
of live stock from quarantined areas
or from public stockyards. The new
regulations, which are known as B. A,
|. bureau Of Animal Industry Order
2l0, superseding B. A. l. Order l43,
deal with the shipment of cattle from
tick infected areas, with the movement
of swine from public stockyards and
with the dipping of cattle and sheep
for scabies.
Hereafter cattle that have been
dipped once under State or Federal
supervision may be shipped from an
area quarantined for ticks to a market
center where there are proper dipping
facilities and the department maintains
an Inspector. After second dipping
there under his supervision the cattle
may be sold for any purpose. Hither-
to it has been necessary in times of
drought for cattle owners in quarantin-
ed areas to slaughter their stock or sell
it for slaughter for whatever it would
bring. The resulting loss will, it is
hoped, be done away with under the
new regulation.
The provision permitting, under
certain strict conditions, the transporta-
ton of hogs from public stockyards in
to interstate commerce has been made
possible by the discovery by Govern
ment scientists of serum which
renders swine immune to hog cholera.
Hitherto all stockyards have been con-
sidered as infected with disease. Now,
however, it is considered safe to per-
NIT the shipment of hogs which have
been treated with the serum and which
show no symptoms OF suffering from
any form of disease. AS result Of
this it is expected that thousands of
lightweight hogs will be sent from the
stockyards to the country for feeding
and fattening and that the country's
total production of pork will be greatly
increased thereby,
The new regulations also withdraw
all permission for the use OF nicotine
solutions, coal-tar creosote, and cresol
preparations in the official dipping of
cattle and sheep for scabies. The step
has been made necessary by the diff
Guilty experienced in keeping baths of
this nature at a strength sufficient to
eliminate all danger of disease without
having them so strong as to be in
furious to the animals themselves. The
department therefore decided to in
sist upon field test of the strength of
all solutions used for dipping. A prac-
teal field test is available in the case
of the sulphid sulphur used in lime in
sulphur baths for scabies, and for
arsenious oxide in arsenical dips for
cattle tick. Official dipping, therefore,
will hereafter be confined to the lime
and-sulphur and arsenical baths.

Why Not Light The Town Clock L?

About two or three years ago the qLes-
ton of lighting the town clock was dis
cussed extensively and taken under con-
sideration by the Town Council The
matter was taken up with the County
Court, and they made an agreement with
the Northern Virginia Power Company
whereby electric current for the lighting
of the clock would be furnished free OF
cost to the County and Town, and the
county court gave the town full permls-
sion to make necessary changes in the
face of the clock, do the running, &c.
The matter than passed into the hands
of the Market House committee and was
given considerable consideration by the
committee, and estimates made of the
cost of installing the lights, &c. But
that was as far as the matter went, poss:
bly, for lack of fun ds at that time, or be-
cause more weighty questions We're
brought forward for discussion.
1t seems to US that this would be a de
sirable and a progressive move, and
would add great deal to the attractive
ness of our town at night. besides the
convenience of being able to read the
time at all hours.
The cost OF operating would be very
small after the lights were installed.
