DAIRY
MILK SUBSTITUTE FOR CALF
Massachusetts, Experiment Station
Recommends Feeding Mixture Cost.
Ina Three Cents Pound,

Nothing is better than milk on which
to raise thrifty, growing calves,
whether they are intended for the
dairy, the feed lot or the show ring.
The ordinary farmer often finds milk
too expensive as a calf feed. The fol-
lowing substitute Is recommended by
the Massachusetts Experiment sta
ton: Twenty-Five pounds ground
oats, ten pounds llnseed meal, five
pounds middlings, II pounds fine corn
meal, ~ pounds fine blood meal, me
half pound salt. Total cost, three cents
q pound.
Prepare by adding one-half pound
of meal to two quarts of boiling water
for each feed. At each feeding moisten
the meal first with a little cold water
to prevent it forming Jumps, and then
pour on the boiling water, and stir
well. When this is cooled down to
the temperature Of milk fresh drawn
from the COW it is ready to feed.
1t is better to let the calf have whole
milk for about a week, then gradually
introduce a little of the milk substi-
tute for ten days or two weeks, when
you can cut out the milk entirely.
AS soon as the calf will eat, let 1t
have hay and a little of the meal dry,
together with fresh water. Always
have the calf meal mixture milk
warm when fed. Have the buckets
clean and do not overfeed. A young
calf will usually begin to eat hay at
about three weeks old.

cow NEEDS RESTING PERIOD
Some Animals Maintain Good Mill
Flow Right Up to caIving Time
Rest Is Important.

The dairying department of the New
Jersey agricultural experiment station
recommends that the dairy farmer
should remember to give his cows a
rest Of six weeks or more before they
freshen. Some w may maintain a
good flow of milk right up to calving
time, and in such cases the dairyman
hesitates to dry them off for a rest
period of several weeks. This should
be done, however, and the cow well fed
so that she will be in good flesh when
she %freshens.
The work Of producing a heavy yield
of milk for ten months or n year Is a
severe drain upon the cows strength
and vitality. and n period of rest
should be given her to recuperate and
prepare for another lactation period.
If she finishes her milking period quite
thin in flesh, she should be given a
longer dry period and more literally
fed. The loss of what milk the cow
might produce during the dry period
will be made up several times over
by an increased yield during the fol-
lowing lactatiOn period. A good rest
and liberal feeding preceding the date
of calving helps largely to bring about
a good yield during the following year.

stantly in a tub in one corner of a
rack. The steers are never disturbed,
and every opportunity Is given them
to rest and make gains. To utilize
every bit of waste, many hogs are run
behind the cattle.
To obtain the best. results with
bundle corn, 1t Is necessary to obtain
a feed which will supply a maximum
amount Of nutritious forage. The rails
ing Of bundle corr on the Hubbard
farm, therefore, has been reduced to
as much Of a science as his methods
Of feeding. The time of blowing and
planting, the type Of plant desired,
the method Of cultivation, the time Of
harvesting, the methods of shocking,
and the best method of caring for the
bundle corn in the shock have been
studied.
Mr.. Hubbard believes that the av-
erage Minnesota farmer plants his
corn too early. Corn planted in late
May or early June on a well-prepared
and well-warmed seeded will grow
faster and mature sooner, he says,
than corn planted several weeks be-
fore on a cold and poorly prepared
seeded. At no time since he has
grown corn has he failed, he says, to
secure a matured crop in a To-day
period. In each instance this period
has been well within the frost limit.

FEEDING VALUE OF
SILAGE RATED HIGH
Much Depends on Stock to Which
It Is Fed and Price They Bring
When Marketed,

The most accurate valuation for
silage is expressed in terms of feeds
that have market value. Silage con-
sists of corn, grain and corn slower.
The grain in the silO is worth the
same as though it had been put in a
crib, and the stOver is worth rather
more than when dry cured. If the
crop ensiled would have yielded SO
bushel to the acre it would have made
about two tons of dry slower. The
grain at the present time would be
worth $40 and the slower $40. Such
Il crop would make eight to ten tons
Of silage. This method Of calculation
gives a value Of S. to Sc per ton for
silage.
In most calculations showing silage
to be the most economical feed, it is
given a value covering cost Of pro-
ductiOn only, while the commercial
value is placed upon the feeds with
which 1t is compared, an entirely mis-
leading comparison. The production
cost Of hay Is usually much below its
market price. This is true even this
year of low hay prices, on account of
the enormous crop. But its feeding
value, measured, in terms of other
feeds, is above its market value. Its
actual value to the man who feeds it
may be either above or below its mar
ket value, depending upon the stock
to which 1t is fed and the price they
bring when marketed. The feeding
game is more interesting than specu-
lating on a stock exchange. 1t takes
q keener mind.

POLISH FOR AUTO
Excellent Surface Can Be Secured by
Using Mixture Of Boiled Linseed
Oil and Turpentine.

For furniture or automobile bodies
an excellent polish can be made by
thinning down boiled linseed oil with
~turpentine. This should be applied
sparingly to the clean surface with a
cloth and should be rubbed briskly
with a soft cloth or cotton waste.
1t is best not to use body polish on a
car until the gloss has become dull.
Another polish recommended by au.
tomobile experts is made from l gal.
Ion of %turpentine, 80 ounces of citro.
nella oil, 1 pint of parafin oil or light
cylinder oil and IL ounces Of oil of
cedar. When the finish on a car has
become very dull the appearance can
be greatly improved by rubbing with
a mixture of cylinder oil and kero.

MILK AND BUTTERFAT FEEDS
Utilize Every Possible MorseI Of Food
Teeth and Stomach Wear Out
First in Cow.

Every possible morsel of food fed to
dairy cows should be utilized for the
production Of milk and butterfat. The
teeth and the stomach are the two
organs of a COW which wear out first,
especially the former. This is caused
in great part by the COW having to eat
hard dry ungfound grain. There is an
old saying, mo chain is stronger than
its weakest link" With the dairy COW
also this holds true. When one organ
of digestion wears out, then the whole
COW is useless.
A good dairy COW should be kept as
long as possible. and If she is properly
fed and cared for, she will be useful
for about fifteen years. Some give a
nice mess of milk at the age of twenty
years.

RIGHT CARE OF CAR
AVERAGE FARMER DOES NOT
HAVE SAME TROUBLE AS
CITY MAN.
However, He Is Likely to Have Trou'
Bile at Times-Eight Splendid
Rules Given for Proper Man.
aQement Of Automobile.

The average farmer does not have
One-half the trouble running a car that
falls to the lot of the city man. He is
constantly handling machinery, and
knows the value of good care in its
use. But he, too, is at times likely to
have trouble, and it is a good plan to
group the possible troubles into a
small space. This has been well done
in the following eight rules for the
care of the automobiles:
"First-See that the gasoline tank
contains a sufficient quantity of gaso-
line; that there is plenty Of oil in the
crank case; that the radiator Is filled
with water and that the tires are prop
erly inflated.
"Second-Lift hood and screw
down grease cups; inspect the cooler
connections and the wiring to the
magnetic, coil and spark plugs; oil the
valve stems and push rods; inspect
oil pump and fittings.
"Third-Screw down grease cups
on front springs and front axle; see
that the nuts on the spring bolts are
tight; give grease cup IN steering
gear housing a turn.
"FOurth-RemOve floor boards and
oil the gear-shifting mechanism; also
the clutch and brake mechanism.
"Fifth-Screw down grease cups on
the rear springs and see that the
spring bolt nuts are tight. Inspect the
differential housing for loose nuts or
bolts; examine the brakes and screw
down grease cups owe brake shaft.
"Sixth-Ffll lamps if necessary; in
spect the body bolts and fender bolts !;
fill all grease cups with good grade of
medium weight grease; keep the
wheel rims free from mud and sharp
edges; clean the body and Tenders.
"Seventh-Occasionally jack up car
under frame; pry the spring leaves
apart with a heavy screwdriver and
lubricate between leaves with graphite
mixed in oil; keep transmission case
and differential case two-thirds filled
with a good grade, medium gravity
grease.
misunderstanding drain oil from
crank case and then flush u crank
case by pouring gasoline or kerosene
through breather tubes. Every ten days
or so put two or three tablespoonfuls
of kerosene in each cylinder to cut
carbon and let stand over night. If
ever a foreign or unfamiliar noise de-
yelops, satisfy yourself as to what it
is; negligence Of this may result dis
astrously."
