SCOURS IN CALVES
CAN BE PREVENTED
Animals Should Have Warm,
Clean and Well Ventilated
PenS-Feed Grain.

Thousands of calves are lost each
year by what is known as scours, says
II. III. Kildee, University farm, st.
Paul. On every farm measures should
be taken to guard against this dis
ease, which results from a ~deranged
digestive system.
Calves should have warm, clean,
light and well-ventilated pens. Milk
should be fed on regular amounts, at
regular times, at a temperature Of
about so degree f., from sc%rupulously
clean pals. The foam which accum-
ulates on the milk while it is being
separated should never be fed.
The time to feed the grain ration is
Immediately after the milk is fed, SO
that the calves will not suck each 9TH
er's ears and thus take air into the
stomach, which causes bloat and pro.
duces scours.
1t Is well to have stanchions in one
side Of the pen so that the calves may
be confined for a short time after be-
ing fed milk.

Watch Tires for Cuts in the Tread.

A good many people could say
about their prematurely deceased tires
what q young Irishman remarked when
after a short illness he was told he
could not live. His laconic deply was,

so soon" Everyone realizes that tires
must wear out some day. But no one
expects them to give out as soon as
some do. No matter how many thou
sands of miles the tire has Travelled,
the blowout always m as a shock
Of disappointment-and in many in
stances the tires life could have been
prolonged UNNECESSARILY through a lit
tie care and time taken to fill the
minute tread cuts which seemed so I'M
important. In order to get satisfac-
tory service from a pneumatic tire,
the condition of the tread must be
watched constantly.

up to its name as a living room.
The exterior of this design is finish
ed in typical bungalow style. The roof
has n very fiat pitch with caves that
extend out on all sides. The gable,
extending toward the front of the
house, has the right side slightly long
err than the left, so as to cover the
small front porch. The walls are COW
cred with shingles. The steps to the
front porch are rather wide and pre-
sent a pleasant, inviting appearance.
The entrance to the house Is into the
living room, which is connected to the
dining room by a wide opening. The
dining room might serve also as a sun
parlor because of the many windows
that are placed in the walls. Along
the front there are four windows, with
five along the side and one opening out
on to the front porch. The dining
room is Of good size, and being con-
nected to the living room makes an IN
usually large space across the front OF
the house. In the back part Is n buff
fet which Is built against the wall.
Directly back of the dining room is
a pantry that Is a most necessary ad-
junct of the kitchen. Under the win
dow in the pantry is a table, and across
from this a small cupboard. The sink
in the kitchen is placed near the pam
try so that dishes will not have to be
carried far. Small details such as
these are needed to make the kitchen
a pleasant place to work in.
The house is set up high enough so
that a good basement can be provided.

PRACTICALLY A HOME ON WHEELS
FIRST GET ENGINE WARMED
Always a Mistake to Start Out With
Automobile Until This Has Been
Accomplished.

On cold days it takes so much long
er to get your engine warmed up.
If you put in a rich mixture and
choke and let it idle two or three min
utes under low throttle, you will be
more sure Of getting 1t thoroughly
warmed than you will If you let her
race. 1t seems as though 1t warns up
quicker when you ace it, but racing
Is not good for the engine, does not
get it as well warmed and, besides,
racing wastes gas. Even If it does
seem to be q more eXpedient means,
you wouldn't gain more than a minute,
and a minute lost in the garage Is
easily made up for when you get out
on the road. Racing requires a very
heavy gas charge from the cylinders,
because it is an extra strain.
Trying to get your car to go fast be-
fore you have the engine well warmed
is wasting gas, because of the futile
effort and strain put on to the n
CINE.
Dashing to a stop by using the
brakes is wasting gas, when you might
have cut off your power 20 feet or so
back and coasted up. The same idea
holds good about driving down a hill
when you might as well have cut Off
your power and glided down in neu-
trail or else in second.
Have your throttle regulated so that
when the engine is idling it need not
be running at any but the lowest
speed. See to it that the cylinders
are not worn in your motor and that
the piston rings are not leaky and the
valves are not warped or c~arbonated.
If you feel that your car is eating
up more gas than it should, have it
examined by some competent mechan-
ic. Perhaps your carburetor is not
properly adjusted and you are using
too rich q mixture. Perhaps there Is
something wrong with the compression
and this should be tested. Oftentimes
the trouble can be traced to leaks in
the gas line around the joints, and all
that need to be done to fix matters Is
a little tighter screwing of the unions.
Don't let your gas bill keep increas-
ing when you can cut it down. What's
the use of throwing money away?

Whoever has looked inside an ele-
plants mouth has seen a strange
sight, an exchange observes. Ele-
plants have no front teeth, and they
eve eat flesh or any food that re-
quires tearing apart. Eight teeth are
all they have, two above and two be-
low on each side, huge yellow molars
as wide as q mans hand.
Over these hay and fodder are shift
ed by the queerest, ugliest tongue in
the whole animal kingdom, a tongue
that is literally hung at both ends,
having no power Of movement except
in the middle, where 1t shifts back and
forth from the side, arching up against
the roof Of the big mouth like a
wrinkled pink serpent.
Elephants, like human beings, have
two sets Of teeth. The milk teeth,
which are smaller than the permanent
molars, fall out when the animals are
about fourteen years old. These baby
teeth-which are, nevertheless, enor-
mOus-are occasionally picked up by
circus men among the fodder and pre-
served as curiosities.

PRINCIPAL AIM IN WINTERING STOCKERS

possible use should be made of such
roughages as corn fodder, straw, or
silage, but these feeds must be
supplemented with either a little cot.
tonseed cake, linseed meal or alfalfa
hay. An advantage of cottonseed
cake is that 1t can be used readily
to supplement poor winter grazing, be-
ing easily transported, very concen-
trated, easy to feed, and a natural
supplement to native grasses. Alfalfa
alone fed to steers at the North Platte
station, Nebraska, made gains of three
fourths pound per day as compared to
gains Of one-fifth pound on prairie hay,
but alfalfa and prairie hay together
were practically equal to alfalfa alone.
Fourteen pounds Of straw and one
pound Of cottonseed meal have put
81 pounds gain on stockers during a
winters feeding. The addition Of one
pound cottonseed meal to a silage ra-
ton has proved more profitable than
silage alone, making total gains Of 16
pounds per head.

Use FuIIer's Earth.

Despite the value in rosin applied to
the brake bands to make them grip the
drums more firmly, this substance
never should be applied to %cone-clutch
feathers to prevent slipping; its use
will result in the formation of n sticky,
gummy deposit that will cause the
clutch to grip and the car to start
with a lurch instead Of a gentle,
steady movement. A little fuller's
earth generally will cure a slipping
clutch, if the slipping is due to too
much oil on the engaging surfaces. If
the fuller's earth cure fails, it is time
to make adjustments, if possible, or
to fit a new leather face.

RIGHT MANAGEMENT OF BOAR
Animal Should Not Be Used Very
Much Until One Year OId-keep
in Best Of Condition.

A boar should not be used very
much on sOws until he is n year old,
nor for heavy service until two years
old. If one wants to develop a boar
to the highest possibility it is not
we'll to use him at all under one year
old.
One service per day is enough, but
In EAST two sows are to be served in
pne day, breed one in the morning
and the other in the evening, and let
the boar rest a day or SO before using
him again. One service to a sow is
all that is necessary. With such a
treatment q mature boar should be
able to handle so or 60 sow during a
breeding season.
The boar should be kept in good
condition all the year, but not so fat
as to be lazy and clumsy. His ration
should be increased before the breed
ing season, in order to have him gain
Ing at the time he is being used. This
keeps him in good condition, and bet
ter results may be obtained.

tunity for the architect to express his
art, the less %pretentiOus house yields
more order to make the design struc-
turally practical.
The house shown in the accompany
ing illustrations is of the One-stOry
bungalow type. Its room arrangement
will no doubt suggest several desirable
features which may be obtained In this
type of house.
There is one great hobby in room
arrangement that many people have.
In planning a home nearly every one
will insist on one large room with q
fireplace in it. The beauty of this
idea is that 1t is so practical. There
Is nothing more necessary to the home
than a oom where everyone can
meet, and where there is plenty of room
to entertain visitors.
In this age of the world we know
that surroundings have a marked eff
feet on people and show their influence
on both their mental and physical
characteristics. A man does twice as
much work n Is twice as happy In a
modern daylight factory as In the old,
dark and dismal ones.
A room such as the living room in
this design plays the same part in the
home life. 1t is the meeting place of
the family, where the associations
have their important effect on the de-
veloping character of the children. 1t
is also the place where friends and
relatives are entertained and where
the social part of the community life

therefore, that this room be of good

The principal object in wintering
cattle is to bring them through the
the winter In such condition that they
will make the best returns the next
season. In days of unlimited range
and cheap beef, what would now be
considered a high death loss was TAX
en- as a matter Of course. With
high beef prices, limited range, and
with feedstuffs more readily available
in case Of need, 1t is not considered
economical to let stock cattle lose
flesh in w~intering. They will be in
better shape to take advantage Of the
next seasons grass If they gain a lit
tie through the winter. 1t is not adj
visable, on the other hand, to let stock
cattle fdtten much, unless they are to
be fed out for market before June, as
they are likely to lose this fat on
early spring grass, and will not make
such profitable gains through the fol-
lowing summer.

accidents by motortrucks, an
expert has prescribed a set Of
rules for the guidance of the
men who own this type of We

bearing on the operation Of pas
senger automobiles. The rules
are:
1. Use every possible care in
the selection of the driver.
2. Look after the condition Of
the truck. Be certain that 1t Is
in mechanical condition to meet
every emergency.
3. Don't rely too much on the
horn. Avoid its Overuse.
4. Be careful in keeping the
driver physically and mentally
to the top notch of his efficiency.

architect also strives toward this end,
although he must temper his efforts
with structural details and perhaps a
limitation as to cost. In a word, the
interests Of the home builder must be
the assumed interests of the architect.
How far is 1t possible for the archi-
tect to carry out the design so that
the house may be made into the home
which the owner desires?
This fact is certain: Even the most
beautiful house, decorated in the most
skillful manner, is not truly a home
until the occupants have established
the evidence of their personalities both
on the exterior and in the interior.
Simplicity of arrangement usually ex-
presses the greatest feeling in bring
Ing about the homelike effect. A few
good pictures which are in accord with
the room, good books placed where
they will be used, artistic lights in
stalled where they are needed, and
flowers arranged by the member Of
the family who likes them best, all
form an expression of the simplicity
upon which beauty no less than COM
fort depend.
Toward this end the architect can
do little more than prepare the way.
It remains for the members Of the
household to contribute the personal
items Of beauty. the individuality and
the charm, without which even the
