CALVES INTENDED FOR BEEF
Necessary to Give Young Animals
Grain While on Milk Diet-First
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 can 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
larger frame.
If you are going to make beef out of
either of these calves it is necessary to
give them grain while on 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
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1916-01-13

twice daily, and along with this there
ought to be some cracked corn, bran
and ground oats.
There is not much use III 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 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 an 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 are rated as baby
beef"

(By Charles A. Keffer, Division of Ex-
tension, University of Tennessee.)
At Lansing, Morgan county, there
has been planted during the past three
years an orchard covering 400 acres Of
land, and the planting is only begun.
Thousands of peach trees came into
bearing this year, the owners estimat-
ing the crop at one-half bushel per
tree.
The trees are vigorous, with rich,
dark green foliage and an abundance
OF new wood for next years crop. The
young apple trees could not look more
promising. The whole orchard shows
intelligent care: good pruning has
been done, giving to each tree strong
skeleton. Part of the orchard Is in
cowpeas, to be plowed under as fer
tilizer; and a hundred acres is in
strawberries which have been we'll
cultivated. This is a commercial or
chard in which no shares are for sale;
and there is not an enterprise OF RrsaA

PROTECT STOCK FROM FLIES
Department of Agriculture Recon-
mends Mixture of Soap and kero-
sene-Use Spray or Wash.

(By CHARLES I. BRAY, Colorado Ex-
pertinent Staton)
During the summer months, when
cattle are most likely to be bothered
with flies, there are many people
who wish to know what can be done
as a preventive. There are num-
Der of methods sometimes recommend
ed for this purpose, some Of which are
supposed to keep flies off the animal
by virtue of their bad odor or greasy
nature. and some which are supposed
to be sprayed on to kill the flies.
Considerable doubt exists as to the
benefits to be obtained from using
any Of these treatments, or as to the
relative value of the different ways
of combating flies.
For spraying the backs of cattle at
milking time, there is possibly moth
ing more reliable than kerosene
emulsion. The following recipe
given by the Unified States department
of agriculture is one of the best ways
of making this; Dissolve One-halt
pound of hard soap in one gallon Of
hot water, and while still at near boil
ing point add two gallons kerosene,
and emusify by use of a force pump
or agitatOr of some kind. Dilute with
water, one part emulsion to eight
parts water, and use as a spray, dip
or wash.

Acts as Chain Switch.

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