FEEDING CALVES DRY GRAIN
Digestive Tract Of Young Animals Is
Small and Giving Small Amounts
Often 10 Favored.

In feeding skim milk calves the
grain needed to supply the missing
fat may be corn, barley, oatssor . mix
ture. Occasionally feeder has skim
milk or alfalfa or clover hay on hand.
and to these he adds Hnseed meal,
cottonseed meal or gluten feed.
These are all high in protein, and
when any one of them is combined
with skim milk and alfalfa-both high
In proteinan unbalanced ration re-
suits and scours or other digestive
troubles follow.
The digestive tract OF a calf is
small and frequent feeding OF small
amount 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. ALI grain should be fed dry
in trough. Mixing feeds with milk
is not recommended, as calves chew
their feed better when fed dry.

Ways Of Prevention.

In most cases it pays to try some
remedy, for q COW Of this kind is us
ually heavy mixer. The habit is
brought on by putting of milking. The
COW suffers and tries to relieve her
self and the habit is formed. Ways
OF prevention are numberless.
A cure after the habit is formed is
almost impossible. The most effective
remedy is putting two, rings in the
cows nose. Ring the COW in the usual
way, and in this ring hang another,
forming two links OF chain. Some
times one ring win stop the habit, but
in most cases two are needed.
II the COW is not good mixer bet

GOOD DRAINAGE OF
THE POULTRY YARD
Important Subject to Be ConSid-
cred in Selecting Location
for the House.

The drainage is a very important
subject to be considered in locating
the house and yard for poultry. The
ground should be we'll drained by slop-
ing to the south
A yard on southern slope dries off
quickly after a rain, and it gets the
full benefit of all the sunshine, conse-
Quently it is nearly always dry.
The direct rays of the sun are great
purifiers and destroyers of disease
germs, and this helps greatly in keep
ing diseases out of the flock
Then hens are compelled to run
about in wet, muddy yard, and so
! keep their feet wet and muddy, their
feathers become wet, too, and in cool
weather they become chilled Hens
will not lay we'll under such condi-
tions.
Dampness is also a direct cause of
roup and all its kindred ailments, as
we'll as rheumatism.
In warm weather a wet yard soon
becomes filthy, and is good place
for the growth of all kinds of disease
germs.
If your poultry yard is already built
in such place, it will pay you to
move it to south slope. If this is
not possible, then haul dirt and raise
the ground in the yard high enough so
that it will be dry; clear away on
the south side to let the sun in, and
make some kind of windbreak on the
north

Lime SULPHUR ON
THE APPLE TREES
Heavy DrenChing While Spraying
Is Common Cause Of Injury
to Foliage.

The great question among fruit
growers everywhere is: Shall bor-
deaux be replaced by lime sulphur as a
summer spray?
Observations indicate that heavy
drenching is a common cause OF in
jury to foliage Experiments proved
chat much injury by the burning of ap-
pie foliage following the application,
just after the blossoms fell, was due
to previous scab infection of the
leaves
It has been found that arsenate Of
lead is the only insecticide known
which may be used in the lime sui
phur with safety. 1t not only de-
creases the burning but actually in
creases fungicidal value of the mix
ture by so per cent.
Injury to both fruit and foliage by
the lime sulphur is much less serious
than that caused by bordeaux under
the same conditions, and the addition
of lime or the presence of sediment
does not materially affect the burning
qualities of the lime sulphur one way
or the other.
Another important point found is
that cultivated trees will Withstand
foliage injury better than neglected
orchards.

Never before have the prominent

In the British army we do not make
a very wide use Of field spies in serv-

do. My own work has been largely
that of a tactical or military agent,
whose business is to study details OF

Quite innocently, with my sketch

They did not look sufficiently closely
into the sketches to notice that the
delicately drawn veins of the butter

tions, in plan, of their own fort, and
that the spots on the wings denoted
the number and position of the guns
