CALVES INTENDED FOR BEEF
Necessary to Give Young Animals
Grain While on MIX Diet-Ffrst
Winter of Importance.

When you are feeding calves in
tended for beef animals you have two
methods which may be followed. You
can let the calf run with the COW or
you al remove the calf and feed him
skim milk and grains instead of giving
him the whole milk, writes L. Hunt of
Kansas in Farm Progress. In these
days of dairying the calf that is not
vealed is likely to become a skim milk
calf. Tho youngster that runs with his
mother usually ends his first summer
in excellent flesh, while the skim milk
calf is not plump, but usually has O
larger frame.
If you are going to make beef out of
either of these calves it is necessary to
give them grain while on a milk diet,
if it is plain that they need this extra
ration. In handling the skim milk calf
give him a little oil meal while the
change from the whole to the skim
milk is under way and keep it up as he
grows older and bigger. Keep him on
the pasture and at the same time keep
up the feed of skim milk and oil meal
Western Carolina Democrat and French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1913-1915, 1915-10-14

twice daily, and along with this there
ought to, be some cracked corn, bran
and ground oats.
There is not much use in feeding the
calf that is running with the COW. If
on the pasture he is getting about all
that he needs. AS a general thing it
will pay, though. to teach him to eat,
for he will have to go through the
weaving period. If fed cracked grains
and kept on a good pasture the calf
will learn to eat before weaving time
and will not lose much flesh when sep
arated from the COW.
The first winter is IN important
period to the calf that is being grown
as a beef animal. The calf will have
to be given shelter that is more COM
Portable than the open sheds that are
being provided nowadays for the big
steers. The rations ought to be such
as to keep up a rapid growth If these
calves are to be made into "baby beef"
Steers sold somewhere under eighteen
months of age r rated as baby
beef"

RING AROUND THE ROSY.

We observed recently that the great
problem about credit was not how to
extend it, but how to restrict it. For.
example, one reason why England and
France are willing to ship us a great
quantity Of goId-which they need and
we do not-is that they know they will
pres emily get it back again. Money is
already superabundant here. Nation
al banks alone are in a position to in
crease loans by three billion dollars.
An accretion of foreign gold would
fU rnish the basis for still greater ex-
pansion of loans.
In the normal operation of human
im~perfections that would mean pres
emily a great increase of borrowing
under the temptation Of low interest
and a hope of greater or less specula-
tive profits. People would be bor-
rowing to buy stocks, land, buildings,
machinery-goods Of all SORTS. mat
increased buying all round would ad-
vance prices. High prices mere would
make this a good market to sell in
and a bad market to buy in; conse-
quently our imports would increase
and our exports decrease. The bal
ance OF trade would turn against US,
ana 10 SeCLI0 Lue OolohOO We ShOu.u
have to ship back the gold. This
would restrict credit, bring liquida-
ton and falling prices-a rather pain
full process usually.
More gold means greater possibility
of abuse of credit. Having the OPP
portunity, the question is whether we
can be depended on to abstain from
the abuse. In a large way it is a
good deal like permitting a dipsom-
aniac to take the money out Of your
pocket. You know that, having the
money, he will soon get drunk-when
you can easily take it away from him.

The most spectacular funeral of

haps was that tonight when o. u.
Knocker, a despised Americas crea-
ture, was actually buried in the city
hall square under the auspices of the
chamber of commerce. A great torch
procession with bands of music pa
raded the street with banners appro-
priately inscribed and halted at the
open grave when an especially built
coffin twenty feet long and supposed
to contain the town knockers was
buried eVerlastingly. Secretary E.

ard that meets the demands Of the
packing houses.
The hog that best meets the de-
mand of the present time is a we'll
museled hog, that will supply a fair
amount of lard, and fat meat well
marbled with lean, and be ready for
market at any desired age.
Practical pig growers, and feeders
Of market hogs look for good quality,
depth, length and width of form, and
uniformity Of type, regardless Of the
breed, color and characteristic mark
ings.
However, it is essential that we Sc
lect our breeding animals from some
well-estabished breed, for promiscu-
ous mating of swine of various types
has a tendency to destroy the types
of all the breeds employed in the
crosses and to throw away the result
of years of systematic selecting and
mating, and perpetuate a certain fixed
type in the breed. This point has
been illustrated by mating a half Po-
land China and half Chester White
SOW with a pure-bred Berkshire boar.
The pigs resulting from the ros were
red, spotted, speckled and striped,
showing that the improved type of all
three used in the o was lost, and
with it the improvements in color and
markings.
The result was the return of the off
spring by the principle of heredity to
the original scrub type.

IT'S OWN CORN AND HAY.

Not a pound of hay nor a bushe1 o
orr will have to be shipped into
Union county for the next twelve
months. The hay crop and the corn
crop are sufficient to feed every horse
cow and hog in the county and leave
a plenty of corn tor corn bread for
all the folks who like that good bread
and then there will be plenty left t6
feed the dogs. We fellows who have
been sitting back and whooping EN-
ID to grow hay and corn can blow
about how I'VE did it"-but that blow
ing is just hot air and that statement
that the newspapers writer's have
brought this good condition about is
just a plain every day lie. The folks
who have toiled in the fields and have
at the same time use their heads-to
them. to them only-belongs the credit
for this good state of industrial affairs

REMEDY FOR PAVING HORSES
Annoying Habit May Be Cured by
Fastening Chain to Animals Leg
Acts as Chain Switch.

A horse that has the habit Of paw
ing. especially at night, is most an
moving. It is also bad for the horses
feet if be is paving all the time. To
ston this. take a strong strap with a
buckle on it, also s or 10 inches OF
heavy chain. Put the strap around
the horses leg above the knee SO
the chain will hang down In front OF
the knee.
This device acts as chain switch
and will cure the horse of the paving
habit. 1t also keeps a horse from
running in rough pastures.-Farm m
