Lack of knowledge Of proper meth
DDS of feeding calves on the part OF
many farmers Is the cause OF heavy
losses, asserts o. q. Reed, professor
of dairy husbandry in the Kansas
state agricultural college. The import
ancc of knowing the best practices In
feeding cannot be Overestimated.
"The proper time for taking the calf
from its mother depends upon the con-
dIrion of the calf and It's mother at the
time of calving," says Professor Reed.
"If the calf is strong 1t may be taken
away Immediately without being al
lowed to nurse. 1t is easier to teach
the calf to drink from the pail If 1t is
taken from the mother at this ime.
"If the calf is weak Mt birth, or If
the udder of the cow Is inflamed or
caked, it is better practice to allow
il to remain with its mother for sew
cral days. In case the calf is taken
from its mother Immediately 1t should
receive her first milk. The milk at
this time contains high proportion Of
protein and ash, which act as laxa-
tive and tonic and are effective In
cleaning out the digestive tract and
stimulating the digestive organs.
"In some cases it is not safe to feed
a calf the milk from its mother after
the first few days, as milk of the cows
belonging to the high testing breeds is
often too rich in fat for the young calf,
aud should be diluted with skim milk,
or else milk from some other COW
should be fed.
"The quantity Of milk to feed the
calf at this time is important. Under
natural conditions the calf gets Its
milk often and in small quantities, and
the more closely nature is initiated the
greater the success.
"The calf of average size should re-
ceive about eight pounds of whole milk
a day at first. Large calves should
be fed more than this amount. The
milk may be fed in two feeds-night
and morning-or better results may be
obtained by feeding three times day
AS the calf grows older the amount
should be gradually increased. The
best guide as to the amount which

SLAKED LIME GOOD
FOR SOUR SOILS
Entirely Satisfactory for Correct
ing Acidity-Great Deal De-
ponds on Dryness.

"Slaked lime, If 1t can be had at
less cost than ground limestone, and
If in condition to spread well, is en-
tirely Satisfactory for correcting acid
ity in sour Soils"
This is the reply Of the soils de-
partment at the Wisconsin experiment
station to numerous inquiries as to
which of the two Is the better. Out
side of the cost, the relative value
and merits of these two forms of lime
depends on their dryness of fineness,
for these factors influence the readi-
ness with which the lime can be spread
on the land.
Chemically, slaked lime is practic-
~ the same as the limestone unless II
is slaked only enough to make 1t un-
fit for masOns' use. In such case, It
may still be quite caustic and have
many Jumps. Caustlc lime Is nearly
twice as effective as the ground lime
stone in neutralizing acldlty pound for
pound, but 1t costs more and is much
harder to distribute because the Jumps,
at least, must be water slaked. For
these reasons, the ground limestone IS
usually preferable when it-ean be had
at reasonable price.
In regard to the crops for which
lime is applied, one caution especially
must be observed, and that is, not to
put caustic lime on land that is to be
planted to potatoes the first year.

Benefit This Year.

ability to store the wheat crop on
the farm will be perhaps Of greater
value to the farmers this year than
ever before" says Edward G. John
son, dean Of extension in the Kansas
State agricultural college.
"For this there are two principal
reasons-first, the shortage of freight
cars, resulting from the congestion of
freight on the Atlantic seaboard, sec
Ond, the lower price per bushel during
the early threshing season. This low
or price necessarily results from IN
ability to get transportation facilities,
from the greater risk and hence great
or margin taken by elevators to handle
grain before II has gone through the
sweating process, and from the fact
that the whole grain trade knows that
great quantities Of wheat will be mar
keted during July, August and Sep
TENDER, whatever the price may be-"

EXCELLENT RESULTS
WITH GRAIN RATION
Mixture of CornmeaI, Wheat Mid
dIings and Tankage Recon-
mended for Young Pigs.

The Pennsylvania State college agri-
cultural experiment station has OBJ
tanned excellent results with young
pigs by feeding grain mixture of
cornmeal, parts; wheat middlings,
3 parts, and tankage, part.
The addition of skim milk increases
the rate of gain. If skim milk is fed
with this grain mixture. the amount
of cornmeal may be increased to six
parts.
Other mixtures recommended are
cornmeal, parts, and tankage one
part, or skim milk three parts and
cornmeal one part. If possible, pas
ture crops should be used for growing
pigs.
For quick growth two to four pounds
of grain per 100 pounds Of live weight
daily in addition to pasture crops are
required.

should be fed is the calf's appetite. 1t
should be fed sufficiently, but never
Overfed, and it is good practice to
keep the calf little hungry. The ami
NAL should take the last milk from
the pail with the same relish that 1t
takes the first"
The time to change the calf from
whole milk to skim milk will depend
largely upon the development Of the
calf, points out Professor Reed. If 1t
is strong and well developed, 1t may
be changed to skim milk at the end
of the. second week. This change
should be made gradually by substi-
tuting a small quantity of skim milk
for whole milk In the daily ration. A
week or ten days should be taken for
the change.
Care should always be taken to have
the milk warm and sweet. Especially
is this important In feeding the young
calf. AS the calf grows older cooler
milk will do Just as well If 1t Is fed at
the same temperature every day. The
right temperature for the milk is blood
heat--.100 degrees. There is no way
by which the digestive system Of the
young calf can be upset more easily
than by feeding cold milk at one meal
and warm milk the next.
If there Is any doubt about the tenn
perature, thermometer should be
used, according to Professor Reed.
Judging the temperature Of milk by
putting the finger into 1t is not salts
factory, because milk will feel warmer
on some days than on others. 1t is
also important to feed milk sweet be
cause one feed of sour milk may upset
the digestive system of the young cali
| for months, or may even cause death
The calves should by all means be
kept in clean, well-lighted and well-ven
tilated stables. The pals from which
the milk is fed should be kept as clear
as possible. Clean, fresh water SHOULD
be provided at all times. Many feed
ers assume that the calf does not neet
water on, account of drinking mill
but it will consume large amount Of
water even after drinking Is or y
pounds Of skim milk day.

CANADA'S GOVERNOR GENERAL

The appointment of the duke of
Devonshire as governor general OF
Canada in succession to the duke of
Connaught has given good deal of
qualification in official circles in The
Dominion.
Known as one of the richest peers

an intimate friend Of King George,
while the duchess, who was Lady Eve
Ign Emily Fitzmaurice, daughter Of
the fifth marquis of Landsdowne, Is

friend. She received the appointment
of mistress of the robes in 1910, Will e

Thumps in young pigs result from

THE DANGER OF ILLITERACY.

1t is gratifying to note that the
tendency of the age is setting more
strongly to a general education of
the youth of the land. Many states,
unable to solve the educational prob
lem in any other way, have passed
compulsory school laws, and in some
localities these are being enforced.
Needless to say that where such is the
case the results are most gratifying.
Still there are many sections of u
country where this is not the case
many sections where ignorance is still
at a premium.
This should not be. No child should
without being given the ground work
of a liberal education.
There can be no greater menace to
the safety of this republic than that
of ignorance. 1t is the father of
crime and the mother of treason.
Of late We have been deluged with
argument for national preparedness.
To our way of thinking the most eff
fective preparedness that this nation
could attain to would be to see that
every child within its borders is lifted
above the soul paralyzing slough of
ignorance. 1t would be worth more
than the entire heavy ordnance of the
Kaiser or all the dreadnaughts of
Britain.
"Vox populi, vox Del" is indeed a
noble sentiment, but it is true only
in so far as the voice of the people
is the voice of an enlightened, intelli-
gent people. 1t were a mockery of
an omniscient God to suppose other
wise.
Let us as people awake to the great
fact that this land can never be what
the Creator intended it should be UNI
til our people are all intelligent, edu-
Gated, we'll informed citizens.
There are few social or political
problems of which education is not
the sure solution.

DRESSES KEEP cows HEALTH
Experiments Have Proved That Pro-

An authority on dress and its cut
for dairy COWS is Sir Francis Webster,
n wealthy manufacturer Of hemp goods
in Scotland and the owner of u stock
range in Texas embracing 100000
acres and thousands of head Of stock.
Sir Francis COWS are dressed regu-
larly every winter in suits Of hemp
cloth made at his own manufacturing
establishment, to protect them from
the cold and snow, minimize the dan
gers from tuberculosis, and increase
their daily yield Of milk. Each cow
has two suits a week.
They are not elaborate dress af-
fairs by any means, with lingerie and
all that. 1t Is q man-made dress Of n
piece, or simply a coverall blanket that
fits loosely. This, of course, means
added expense, but the yield of milk
during cold weather Is about q per
cen larger than from cows not sim
ilarly protected.
