FEED DRY GRAIN TO CALVES
Digestive Organ of Young Animal Is
Small and Frequent Feedings of
Small Amount Is Best.

In feeding skim-milk calves the
grain needed to supply the missing fat
may be corn, barley, oats or mix
ture. Occasionally feeder has skim
milk or alfalfa or clover hay on hand,
and to these he adds linseed meal, cot
tonseed meal of gluten feed. These
are all high in protein, and when any
one of them is combined with skim
milk and alfalfa-both high in protein
an unbalanced ration results and
scours or other digestive troubles fol-
low. The digestive tract of a calf is
small and frequent feeding of small
amounts during the first month is best.
During the first month, it is better to
grind the grains fed. At the end of
this period either oats or corn may be
fed unground. Hard grains like kafir
and milo give best results when
ground. All grain should be fed dry in
a trough. Mixing feeds with milk is
not recommended, as calves chew their
feed better when fed dry.

DISAPPEARED
Coffee Ails Vanish Before Postum.

It seems almost too good to be
true, the way headache, nervousness,
insomnia, and many other obscure
troubles vanish when coffee Is dis
missed and Postum used as the regu-
lar table beverage.
The reason is clear. Coffee con-
tains a poisonous drug-cafeine-
which causes the trouble, but Postum
contains only the food elements in
choice hard wheat with little mo-
lasses.
A Phila. man grew enthusiastic and
wrote as follows:
Until IS months ago used coffee
regularly every day and suffered from
headache, bitter taste in my mouth,
and indigestion; was gloomy and irri-
table, had variable or absent appetite,
loss Of flesh, depressed in spirits, etc.
Il attribute these things to coffee,

aid in determining the amount of feed
required by each COW:
"Feed all the roughage, such as al

ton more palatable.

TWELVE GOOD SILo REASONS
Farmers Bulletin Tells Farmer Should
Provide Himself With Huge Re-

T. E. Woodward of the Dairy Di
vision" in Farmers Bulletin 556, fur
nishes IL good and well-considered rea.
sons for the farmer providing himself
with silo. Every one of them touches
some spot of vital Importance to the
larger profit of dairy farming. Here
they are:
1. More feed can be stored in given
space in the form of silage than in the
form of fodder or hay.
2. There is smaller loss of food
material when crop is made into sill
age than when cured as fodder or hay.
8. Corn silage is more efficient feed
than corn fodder.
4. An acre of corn can be placed in
the silo at less cost than the same
area can be husked and shredded.
5. Crops can be put in the silo dur
ing weather that could not be utilized
in making hay or curing fodder.
6. More stock can be kept on given
area of land when silage is the basis Of
the ration.
z. There is less waste in feeding
silage than in feeding fodder Good
silage properly fed is all consumed.
8. Silage is very palatable.
8. Silage, like other suceulent feeds.
has beneficial effect upon the diges.
tive organs.
10. Silage is the cheapest and best
form in which a succulent feed can be
provided for winter use.
II. Silage can be used for supple
menting pastures more economically
than can soiling crops; because it re
quires less labor, and silage is more
palatable.
IL. Converting the corn crop into
silage clears the land and leaves ii
ready for another crop.
