KEEP THE CALVES WARM. Why Many Lose Them During the
 Winter Months.

While visiting a. dairy herd the other day, the owner stated, Every winter lose number of calves from some cause or other, and it would be of considerable help. to me if some one would locate the trouble for me- Ets- peciaIiy is this true z of my. younger fall -dropped calves After examil- ing the calf quarters, it was evident that the trouble lay largely in the fact that the calves are exposed too much in cold weather. Dairy calves must have warm housing if they are to grow and thrive properly. Breed CTS of dairy cattle have for many years selected and bred for tenpsra-
 nent; one of the indications of ta,s character is spareness. This means that the calf is born with little fat. and in most cases, a thin hide with. little protection to cold weather.
 Exposure will not only deprive the calf of active exercise and Ianguid rest. but retards efficiency in digea- tion and often causes bowel troubles which in turn makes more severe the results of exposure. The sunny side of the barn. dry and warm housing are Of great Importance.

. The stacker len having been eiirn- mated from many poultry farms in Connecticut the next problem the poultry men must, solve is how to feed the hens he has decided to keep. R. E; Jones, poultry extension man for the Connecticut sAgricultunai College, in cooperation with the farm bureaus, is assisting tie pouitrymen in figuring rations which are most economical at the present prices. Last week Mir. Jones met the poultrymen of Fair field and Hartford counties in a num-
 Der of meetings. In order to check up on the work at each |. meeting, each poultrymaf who Is willing to do so hands the ration he is feeding to 1ir. Jones at the beginning of the meeting. The cost of these rations is then fig tations from the. local dealers and fig ures rations for the poultrymen of the community, Up to the present time he has been able to save them several dollars each per month.

PREPARING WINTER HOT BED.
Care for Springs Early Vegetables
 Should Be Started at Once.

Preparations for next springs early vegetables which are to be grown in the hot bed and in the cold frame should be completed immediately. No cold frame is ever started early in the spring without considerable thought and preparation in the fall Where would one obtain soil to use in the cold frame early in the spring when everything is frozen and wet, unless this soil were properly protected in the bottom of the frame by a great quantity of manure. refuse. and boards? The ordinary cold frame can be prepared for winter by filling the entire frame with leaves and refuse and packing it in sohdly, then cover ,ng the whole frame with boards in order to keep off the weight of the winter snows. If the boards are not used the leaves will become a frozen mass of ice and refuse.
 Do not put the manure in the hot bed for next spring. The function of manure in the hot bed is to produce heat by chemical action and the de- composition If this manure is put in the hot bed this fall, it will be- come water soaked >and cold to an extent which will render it una ble to furnish heat by decomposition in the spring. Protect the hot bed this win ter and be prepared to start it right next spring.

FARM EFFICIENCY BASED
 ON ACCOUNTS
Thorough Knowledge of Farm Business
 Furnishes Best Basis For Plans.

In order to keep pace with other industries farmers are finding 1t nee essary in many instances to adjust their farm business in order to utilize the labor and capital invested to bet ter advantage.
 There are many questions which the farmer has to decide before deter mining what notifications should be knowledge of the farm business will furnish the best basis on which to make plans
 The depletion of farm labor makes this one of the greatest problems which the farmer has to meet at the present time. Labor is the largest item of expense in operating the farm business and directly affects the farm income For this reason the amour of productive labor due on the farm is an all important factor to be considered When the farmer knows how productive the farm labor has able to plan for the coming year.
 A simple method for finding out how productive farm labor has been is to add the cost of hired labor including board to the estimated value of fam iiy and operators labor for the year. Divide this sum by the total dollars of receipts and multiply by 100. Figures taken from the studies of over 500 farms in Connecticut show that where labor costs over $40 to each $S100 of
 
 in all cases the farm business was unprofitable.
 To solve the labor problem the farm business must be well organized that the labor expense is below the average. How much of the work needs to be carried under the present conditions2 Can the work be carried on by rearranging the avail able labor are questions which present themselves to the farmer who plans 10 eliminate all work which is not es- sential. To provide a full years work is one of the most important consid- erations which a farmer has to make in organizing his business for in- creased profits.
 z'he cropping system should receive considerable attention as means of keeping labor profitably> employed dur ing the greatest mum Der of days each year Growing more and better crops for feed will utize men, horses and machinery to good advantages. Ger tain crops which under normal con : ditions were grown at a small profit may now be grown much more profit ably because of the high prices for all farm. products.-B.
