take out the hens and grease them, SO
as to keep the young chicks free from

The pullets will mature early and
begin laying. While the old hens are

find it pleasure. She must watch so
as to have the hens bring forth many

RAISING AND FEEDING CALF

CBy r. G. WEATHERSTONE)
1t should be our aim from the time
the calf is born until it is full grown
to keep it in thriving and growing
condition. This, believe, is the only
secret of success in growing and de-
veloping profitable animals. Letting
an animal down in condition is a great
and permanent loss that no amount
of after care and food can replace. A
something lost forever. When we
neglect to keep these young animals
thriving, not only is the food wasted.
but waste of time is involved: be-
sides it takes us considerable time to
overcome the unthrifty habit.
We should de everything to build
up strong and vigorous constitution
and a healthy frame during the first
year of the calls life, for unless this
is being done we are doing precisely
the other thing There is no middle
course or stand-still course in growing
a calf. At the end of two years proper
and progressive feeding and manage
ment we will be rewarded with an
animal possessing strong, healthy
appearance with a weIl-deveIoped
frame; its bones will be covered with.
an abundance Of flesh and fat and it's
skin will be soft and mellow and its
hair glossy and fine.
Imagine a condition exactly rho
opposite and you will see the result
of exactly the opposite, line of care
and feeding. When the calves are
playful it may be taken as a sure
indication that they are healthy and
thriving and when they appear life
less it may be taken as a sure indi-
cation that something is wrong with
them.
There is no more certain rule to
follow in Judging calls health than.

PLANTING THE POTATO
LARGE SEED PIECES AFFORD
QUITE EARLY CROP.
Expectancy of Cutting Tuber Length
wise Is Suggested to Secure One
or More OF Eyes on Each Slice
Variety of Importance.

Prominent investigators are author
fly for the statement that large seed
pieces (either large cuttings or entire
potatoes) afford an earlier crop than
very small cuttings, matter of much
interest to growers of early potatoes.
However, some growers report that
uncut potatoes terminate more slowly
than large cuttings. Most of those
who raise potatoes for the early mar
ket use large cuttings rather than
whole potatoes. In this connection it
may be said that the seed-end half
gives an earlier crop than the other
half. This suggests the expediency of
cutting a potato lengthwise, thus Sc
curing on each piece one or more of
the eyes which terminate first.
No definite rule can be given as to
the best size of seed piece, for this
depends somewhat on the distance
between the hills and on the char
acter of the soil and season. Another
important factor is variety, some
varieties being able to produce crop
almost as large from small cuttings
as from large pieces.
A study OF more than a hundred
experiments testing the relative values
of large, medium. and small uncut
tubers confirms the general rule that
an increase in the weight of seed
planted affords an increase in the
The Madisonian. (Richmond, Ky.) 1913-1914, 1914-02-24

this claim is based on the results of
experience it should determine prac-
tice, but if the conclusion is simply a
generalization based on the fact that
large cuts usually give best results
the reasoning is defective and the
question remains open. Many hold
that potatoes below marketable size,
if shapely and suf1ciently mature.
may be used without serious deter
rioration. and thai for economic rea-
sons their use is desirable
Many potato growers cut tubers
into pieces containing one. two, or
more eyes, laying greater stress upon
the number of eyes than the size of
the cutting. Extensive experiments
show that of the two factors, the
weight is the more important. Every
piece should contain at least one eye,
and it has been generally profitable
for it to be such size as to contain
several eyes, but whether it has one
or many eyes it is important that the
seed piece by heavy enough to furnish
abundant nutriment to the shoots that
spring from it.

She should have a strong loin with
prominent hips that are wide apart,
showing plenty of room for the or
gans of maternity.
The dairy COW should have large
and prominent milk veins that carry
the blood from the udder to the heart
through good sized wells These de-
note good milking qualities.
A large udder is apt to deceive the
most experienced buyers, and should
be given close inspection, to see that
all quarters are in proper working or
der
Another important thing 20 learn Is
whether a COW leaks its milk or not
when the udder is full. Many other
wise excellent cows are rendered unfit
for dairy use on this account.
The man who is selecting COWS for
dairy should not pass a good COW
because of her color or breed. Many
good breeds have nearly been ruined
by color fads" and notions, and it is
a shame to see an excellent animal
discarded on account of foolish fads
and fancies.
We all have our likes and dislikes
in color and marking, but we also
want to conduct our dairy business at
a profit, and we are more interested
in large udders filed with good milk
than color and fancy points that in
terest the breeder and rich farmers.

selected becomes matter of impor-
lance when they are to be cut. for
the heavier the cutting the larger the
total yield. and seed tubers for cut

shall not be extremely small
Whether or not to use uncut small
potatoes for seed is an important
question on which farmers are dis.

argument that the use of undersizezd
