SUPPLY CALVES WITH GRAIN
Young Animals May Be Started on Mixture of Two Parts Shelled
 Corn and One Part Oats.

By H. o. ALLISON. University of Mis-
 souri. College of Agricuturel
 A creep should be provided in the pasture so that calves may have ao- cess to grain without being disturbed by cows. as it is very important to start beef calves on grain before they are weaned. They may be kept in separate lot into which the COWS are turned twice a day, if this method is preferred. In this case there will, of course, be no need for creeps or any. thing else to keep COWS from the grain which may be fed at such times that the cows will not disturb the calves.
 The calves may be started on a mix. ture of two parts of shelled corn to one part of oats by weight. The oats may be gradually reduced until none is being fed at the end of eight weeks, but while this is being done a little old process linseed oil meal or cotton seed meal should be added and the quantity gradually increased until 1t makes up about a seventh of the weight of the ration. On full feed calves should eat about two pounds of grain for every hundred pounds live weight in addition to good roughage Wellbred calves handled in this way should be in prime condition at the end of about ten or twelve months.

on every side; otherwise they might break in a manner somewhat similar to that in which the wooden post bends when the reinforcement is not on the proper side of the post. In the effort to be safe it is a common fault to insert more reinforcement than is absolutely necessary This adds need lessly to the cost of the post. for con crete posts become stronger as they grow older.
 Metallic reinforcing materials are divided into two classes, smooth and corrugated. The general result of the many tests carried on in testing laboratories seem to indicate that in strength of bond, if the concrete is sufficiently rich and we'll mixed. smooth surfaces give satisfactory re- suits. Two kinds of reinforcement are much used-bars and wire.
 Round bars three-sixteenths or one- fourth of an inch in diameter. are the size and kind most used in posts.
 The development of the wire fence has produced material we'll suited for reinforcing purposes. Single No. s or two No. 12 wires twisted are sufficiently strong for reinforcement of ordinary line posts. Straight wire can be obtained from dealers in the same manner as baling wire-either single or twisted into two or three ply cables and of the length desired. The plain, ungalvanized wire is the proper kind; gaivanizing adds nothing to the strength and the metal will not rust when incased in the concrete.

USING SORGHUM FOR SILAGE
in Hard Dough Staee-Cowpeas Also Meet With Favor.

(By JOHN M. SCOTT. Vice Director of
 University of Florida Experiment Sta
 tion)
 Sorghums for silage should be cut when the seeds are in the hard dough stage or even when they are mature There has been some objection to the sorghums because they are supposed to make sour silage. It is likely that this trouble will not be encountered if they are allowed to mature sufficiently
 Silage made from cowpeas and sorghums is exceptionally good. The protein of cowpeas will counteract the excess carbohydrates in the sorghum and thus narrow the ration. Cut tho cowpeas when the pods have formed and before they have filed Make the ratio half and half or two or three of sorghum to one of cowpeas Beggar- weed will also make an excellent mix ture with sorghum.
 Japanese cane makes good silage. but it is better when mixed with some material to give it bulk and to coun- teraet the excess of carbohydrates It is usually cut some time in November.

METHODS OF WISE DAlRYMAN
Two Per Cent Solution of Creolin Is Good, Cheap Oisinfectant-Avoid
 Common Ailments.

CPrepared by the Dairy Division of Clem-
 son Collegel
 Don't run your dairy by guesswork. Test every COW you have.
 On account Of the sueeulence and palatability of silage, little more can be fed than will take the place of hay.
 A two per cent solution of creolin is q good. cheap disinfectant to use in dairy work It should always be used after milking. however, and not be- fore.
 When a bull is stall-fed he should have a plentiful supply of nitrogenous roughage. such as good. clean clover or peavine hay
 The common ailments of cattle can for the most part be prevented by good feeding. housing and treatment, and reasonable precaution against con tagious disease.
 Sore or chapped teats are due tc exposure or cold, wet weather and rough handling. Treat with lard or vaseline.
 Do not let cows drink from stagnant streams. Even by wading in such streams they can become infected with various harmful bacteria.

price, SC 1t may be necessary to look elsewhere for the Thanksgiving meat.
 Roast Guinea Fowl.-In many mar kets these fowl are reasonable in price and quantity and make a most appe- tizing dish as it is as full of flavor as the most delicate turkey Use any preferred stuffing. Rub the bird with olive oil, and dust with pepper and salt, sprinkle with flour. turn in a lit tle boiling water and bake in a hot oven for an hour and a half basting frequently with butter, water and a little lemon juice. While the bird is cooking simmer the giblets in water to cover, Remove the fowl from the pan, add little minced onion and parsley and tablespoonful of four When brown, add the chopped gibets and tho water in which they were cooked. Served with cranberry jelly.
 Mock Possum.-The cheaper cuts of fresh pork may be used for this dish Put three pounds of pork through a meat chopper. add a teaspoonful each of chopped parsley. onion. sage sprinkling of pepper and salt Soften three cupfuls of bread crumbs by coy ering them with hot milk then squeeze dry and mix with the rest adding two well beaten eggs. Shape in loaf and bake for an hour. Then arrange around the loaf, halves of un- peeled apples. around these halves of parboiled sweet potatoes. Bake, bast- ing with the gravy for another hour Serve with the apples and potatoes on the platter.
 corned eeef.-Wrap a good fat piece of corned brisket in a cloth. cover with cold water and bring to the simmering point, cooking 20 minutes to the pound When tender, lay out the cloth flat. cover with a board and weight The next day lay on plat ter and garnish with parsley or water eress

Anyone with little money may buy pretty things, but she who works out of her own supply some thing fetching is fully appreciated by her friends.
 A basket of yellow flowers, like the small chrysanthemum, grown in our gardens, may be taken up in pot and kept for Thanksgiving. The Roman hyacinth is another flower that may be grown for Thanksgiving.
 When the price of a turkey is too much for the family to afford, try some substitutes. They cannot take the place of the time--honored turkey which we all enjoy, but when expense must be considered these dishes will be most satisfactory:
 Praised Beef Tongue.-Wash the tongue well and put it into a kettle of fresh cold water. bring the water to a boil and let it simmer until the tongue is tender. Remove the skin carefully and lay the tongue in pan surrounded by chopped carrots. celery, an onion and the liquor n which the tongue was cooked. Cover closely and bake an hour. Take out the tongue and put on hot platter. Rub the vegetables through sieve and add to the gravy. Season with salt, Worcestershire sauce and pepper
 A leg of pork, stuffed with | highly seasoned sage dressing and roasted, makes fine dish. Add little cider to the meat while basting. Serve with tart, baked apples.

Concrete and steel render valuable assistance to each other i'll the sup port of heavy burdens. On a solid foundation. loaded from above and thus under direct pressure, concrete column will withstand the strain of an enormous load. much smaller load so placed as to cause stretching CT bending toward one side of the same column may cause it to snap off, for concrete is strong, but brittle On the other hand steel is tough and elastic. In the form of rods or wire, steel withstands massive loads that tend to stretch it. and thus displays a kind of strength directly opposite to that of the plain concrete column. In modern construction these two valuable properties of concrete and steel are utilized by combining them in what is called reinforced concrete With steel properly buried in the concrete, the column withstands not only the load which might otherwise and even though it is applied at any place along it's length.
 Reinforcement, then, is steel in the form of bars. rods or wires, buried in concrete to take up and withstand the strains which tend to stretch or to bend the concrete. A concrete fence post is merely small concrete col umn. Reinforced. it easily stands the strain from usage in a fence line.
 Since the load which causes bending or stretching may come from any di- rection, concrete posts are reinforced

THE NEWEST REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM AND DROPSY

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid trou- bles bring misery to many. When the kidneys are weak or diseased, these natural filters do not cleanse the blood sufficiently, and the poisons are carried to all parts of the body. There follow depression, aches and pains, heaviness, drowsiness. irrita- bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu- matism. In some people there are sharp pains in the back and Joins, distressing bladder disorders and sometimes obsti- nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes forms into gravel or kidney stones. When the uric acid affects the muscles and Joints it causes lumbago, rheuma- tism, gout or sciatica. This is the time to send Dr. Pierce, Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. T., 10e for large trial pack age of "Anuric."

BEST GRASSES FOR PASTURE
Bermuda May Be Combined With White Glover and Lespedeza-Red
 Top Does Fairly Well.

fBy ". R. DODSON, Louisiana Experi-
 ment StationD
 The best permanent grazing grass that we can get is Bermuda Der. muda may be combined with white clover and lespedeza. so as to make as near a permanent pasture as you Will be able to secure. There is no grass that you can plant that will perpetu= ate Itself on the soil without atten- ton under severe grazing, and at the same time be readily destroyed when you want to cultivate the land. think you can handle Bermuda grass with moderate satisfaction. in spite of the bad reputation that it has for the cotton fields and other fields where clean cultivation is desired.
 Red top does fairly well if planted in the fall and will thrive best in soils that gre decidedly wet, but it will give you neither the grazing nor the hay that Bermuda grass will.
 Orchard grass is only moderately satisfactory. If planted in the fall It makes very good winter and spring growth, but languishes in the sum- mer. and much of it dies out during August. l think it is nothing like as desirable as Bermuda grass.
 There are some cultivated grasses that do well during the period of growth, but they mature the seed and die out in the early summer; these include fescue grass, Italian rye grass and others of this class. They could he planted in the fall and would furnish grazing during the winter, and if not pastured too closely will re- seed the land in May. Then you will have 10 have some other grass to pro vide summer growth.
 Carpet grass is one of the native grasses that makes good pasture. but it doesn't combine we'll with anything else: it soon crowds out anything else that is put with it. It is fairly easy to get rid of under cultivation Practi. cally all of the other cultivated grasses become short-period crops here

 Grape Sherbet.-This is another dish year Boil four cupfuls of water with two cupfuls of sugar for 20 minutes, add the juice of two lemons and two cupfuls of grape juice. Soften one and half tablespoonfuls of gelatin in cupful of water; add to the other mixture, cool and strain into freezer. Freeze and serve in sherbet cups with a spoonful of whipped cream on top.
