old Is very small The rack should be
emptied every day and fresh roughage
supplied.
Silage may be given after the calf Is
one month old, but the utmost care
should be observed to be sure that it is
fresh from the silo. For this reason
very young calves, except in the hands
Of very careful feeder, should not bf
fed silage, as it ferments rapidly.
If the calf has access to a good pas
ture during the first six months it need
not receive other roughage. Pastures
used In summer should contain plenty
Of shade. 1t Is not advisable, however,
to have calf under two months Of
age on pasture In the early spring.
Wheat bran is eaten steadily by
young calves. Inasmuch as one of the
essential points is to induce the calf to
eat grain as early as possible, bran in
many cases is one Of the ingredients
in the mixture. Corn, a feed very COM
monty found on the farm, has an ex-
cellent physiological effect upon cattle
Of all ages and to great extent may
take the place of the fat removed from
the milk. 1t is therefore one of the
very best grains to use with skimmilk.
Experiments In Virginia tend to show
that corn fed to calves should be
cracked rather than finely ground
Cracked corn and wheat bran there
fore should be the basis Of the feed
mixture. Ground oats are very good
for the purpose, but they are not grown
on the farm so commonly as corn and
In many cases cost much more per unit
Of feed than corn and bran. The fol
lowing mixtures are recommended:
Three parts cracked corn and one
part wheat bran, three parts cracked
corn, one part wheat bran and one part
ground oats; three parts cracked corn,
one part wheat bran, one part ground
oats and one part linseed meal; five
parts cracked corn, one part wheat
bran, one part ground oats and one
part blood meal; oats, ground.
When the calf is in its second week
1t should begin to receive grain, and
when one month old it should eat
about half pound a day After this
time the quantity of grain may be
gradually increased, feeding the calf
all that it will take until three pounds
a day is reached. This will probably
be some time during the third month.
Grain when fed with separated milk
should never be put into the milk.

TREATING OATS FOR SMUT.
Simple and Effective Method Of De-

Treating oats for smut requires no
implements or machinery more compli-
Gated than a scoop shovel or sprinkling
can. The formaldehyde treatment has
proved to be more reliable and much
cheaper than any Of the commercial
preparations.
Perhaps the easiest way to treat oats,
says W. e. Hanger Of the Ohio State
university, Is to pour them out on
clean floor and sprinkle them thorough
ly with a solution consisting Of a
pound. or pint of formaldehyde and
forty gallons of water. 1t will usually
require nearly a gallon Of the solution
per bushel Of oats. After the oats are
thoroughly moistened they should be
heaped and covered with sacks or blan-
kets for three or four hours or over
night. They may then be raked out
into q thin layer and dried. In no
case should they remain In the pile
more than fifteen hours, as the germi-
nation of the seed is liable to be In
jured.
If they are sown the day after treat
ing 1t win be necessary to set the drill
to SOW two more pecks to the acre
than usual on account Of the swollen
condition of the oats. If they are re-
sacked the sacks should have been
soaked in the same solution. Drills
should also be thoroughly sprinkled
with the solution.

BAD FLAvoRs IN MILK.
Dairy Cattle Should Be Prevented
From Grazing In Wesdy Pastures.

Dairy Cattle Should Be Prevented
From Grazing In Wssdy Pastures.
Don't let your dairy products taste Of
weeds or grass If you can avoid 1t. Be-
cause butter fat absorbs fiavors, par
ticular care should be taken In ham
ding milk, cream and butter, according
to N. q. Olson, instructor In dairy hus-
bandry In the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
The principal favors derived from
feeds are the weedy fiavors. In the
spring creameries have trouble with
the wild onion favor. This is some
thing that the farmer cannot prevent
and is caused by early pasturing.
Another common flavor Is the half
grass favor, produced from green feed
In the early spring. 1t can be tasted In
milk, cream, and also in ice cream. It
Is found In practically all dairy prod
ucts in the spring.
The method Of preventing these fiav-
ors is keeping the cows from eating
weeds. Weedy patches in pastures
should be fenced off SO that the cows
cannot get to them. Other favors are
produced through the feeding of alfalfa
and silage. If silage is fed it is advis-
able to feed it after milking rather
than before.

SOIL CULTURE
FEED FOR CALVES.

Grain and Roughage Should Be Pro-
vlded at Two Weeks of Age.
Prepared by United States department of
agricultural
Usually a vigorous calf begins dur
ing the second week to pick at the bed
ding or other material within its reach,
and at that time both grain and rough
age Of the best possible quality should
be provided. Glover hay, alfalfa hay,
or, If these are not available, the most
palatable roughage on hand, should be
given the calf after the second week,
according to farmers bulletin TIT. If
alfalfa is used care should be taken
that it does not cause scours. This feed
should be fed sparingly at first and in
creased only after the calf gets accus-
toned to it. The essential points are
that the roughage be Of good quality
and kept clean. Hay should be fur
nished at first only handful at time
and placed so that 1t cannot get soiled.
A latticework rack of metal or wood
Is useful If it is placed high enough
from the floor so that the calf cannot
soil the hay in any manner but still
have It within easy reach. For the first
six months at least the calf should re-
ceive all the roughage of good quality
that it will eat up clean. The quantity
taken up to the time it is one month

The Pure Rr.d |. Valuable.

The pure bred Is valuable because he
has been bred for so many years with
out the admixture Of any other blood
and because each male representing a
pure breed Is possessed OF the power to
transmit the breed characteristics Of
his kind. Pure bred also means that
there Is continuous line of pure bred
individuals back Of him. 1t must be
remembered that where grade stations
or grade bulls are used no progress Is
made. 1t is the prepotency of the
breeding that makes it possible for the
Angus bull to sire large proportion of
black polled calves from different col
ored or horned native cows. The pure
bred is valuable in grading up. The
progress In grading ceases as soon as
the pure bred sire Is discontinued.

Dry cows can be maintained on hay

however, to feed cows a sufficient
amount Of grain during the dry period
to have them in good physical condi-
