CALVES ON SEPARATOR MILK
Poor Practice to Pour Liquid Into Din
ty Trough and Let Animals
Drink Their Fill.

If we are ready to admit that
cows milk is too good for a cows
calf and that it is economically profit
able to rob the future COW for the
sake of present gains, then it is quite
necessary to know how to raise calves
on separator milk or other artificial
and unnatural foods, says a writer.
The usual practice is to pour sepa-
rator milk, sometimes cold, into
large trough which is never cleaned,
and allow the calves to drink until
they are satisfied. This method means
potbellied, runty calves, that never
make the growth they should, even
though they fortunately escape the
ravages Of indigestion.

DESTROY PEACH TREE BORER
Clemson College Recommends Mound.
ing Trees to Height Of Eight
A. Inches to Kill Insects.
Clemson College Bulietin3

Clemson College BulletinD
Pull up the earth around the base
OF the peach tree to a height Of eight
inches; take these mounds down Octo-
Der 18th. The reason for the above
recommendation is as follows:
The peach tree bOrer has four life
history stages. (a) The eggs laid in
the fall hatch into (b) worms !:
these worms when full grown come
out OF the tree into the ground and
form the (c) pupa or resting stage.
This stage Is passed about an inch
from the trees and about an inch be-
low the surface of the soil. From
these pupae the (d) full grown, beau
tiful, clearwinged moths emerge, which
lay the eggs for the.next years gen.
GRAFTON. There is only one generation
each year.
If you mound too early many of the
worms In the. tree will work upward.
They begin to come out into the soil
July 1, and continue to come out I'M
til about August %. If you mound
the trees as above stated then the
pupa has about eight inches Of soil
over 1t. through which the moth cam
not dig to come to the surface. The
female lays her eggs on the bark at the
surface Of the soil. AS the eggs are
nearly laid by October 1, and hatch
ed by October Is, 1t Is readily seen
that when the mounds are taken down
the worms are eight inches high on the
tree, and if the tree is examined the
second week Of November any worms
may be easily located, and working
in the outer bark they can be removed
with the least trouble.

SPRAYING TO BE effective

Spraying, to be effective. must be

quires good tools intelligently handled.

ers now on the market make 1t easy
for the up-to-date farmer to protect his
crops from blight and other fungus

1t has recently been shown that for

to his very heart. Here Is that inter

the American people, lest we forget, in
the tangle of international law and the

To the American people today this
is a war not merely Of democracy
against military autocracy, not mere
ly of the breaking Of treaties, not at
all Of diplomatic juggling and disputed
points Of law.
1t Is war against brutality and
inhumanity; war against cruelty; a
war against ruthlessness and barbar-
ism and incredible savagery; war
against the German conviction that
might is right.

The first time King Albert of Bel
GUM gave to the world ut large his
statement as to the conduct of the

January afternoon in 1915 when, in his
own villa at La Panne, he gave me
the following interview. Later he re-
read 1t carefully.
Later on, when his equerry brought
me the interview, officially approved,
he said, '"This will make history,
madame" so sure was he that the
kings statement would carry with 1t
not only conviction but the outraged
sympathy Of the American people.
Fearful things have been done, par
ticularly during the INVASION" the

Animal Possessed Of Large, Roomy Di-
gestlve Tract That Is Built for
Handling Bulky Feed.

Unlike the hog, the COW has large
roomy digestive tract that Is built for
the handling Of rough feeds. The cow
digests her feed to best advantage
when her ration Is bulky, as the bulky
parts Of the feed keep the small par
ticles Of grain apart and thus allow
them to be thoroughly acted on by the
digestive juices. The hay and silage
should not constitute all the bulk Of
the ration, as part Of 1t can profitably
be supplied by such feeds as corn and

It Is well for us to pause for mo-
ment to look back on these things.

We are a people of homes, Politics
means little to us; the quarrels Of
Europe nothing. But here Is an enemy
which has marched over the homes
of a nation and wantonly destroyed
them. Here Is an enemy that took
the women and children out Of these
homes and with that pitiful advance
guard, drove ahead. "Again and
again innocent civilians Of both sexes
were sacrificed to protect the invading
army"
1t Is for the home we are fighting
today. Democracy will live, because
the principle of free people will
never die. Liberty will survive, 80

land the sign. In blood II Il must be.
