CUTTING OFF LARGE LIMBS
Ragged Wounds Are Sure 10 Develop
Decay and Ruin Tree-Entrance
for Disease Afforded.

It sometimes becomes necessary to
remove large limb from n tree and
usually it splits and tears portion of
the wood and bark from the trunk
when it falls. Such ragged wounds
are sure to develop decay and in time
ruin the tree. They also afford an
entrance for disease.
To avoid tearing the bark or wood,
start cutting from the under side of
the limb six inches or foot from the
trunk. Cut an inch or more deep, or
until the saw 'pinches." Then cut
on top, an inch or two nearer the
trunk, until the limb falls. After this
you can easily make the final cut close
to the trunk with no danger of doing
damage. This method requires double
the amount of work, but 1t saves the
tree. Cover the cut surface with some
good paint, asphalt or tar, to exclude
moisture. Some time In the future,
probably In year, the wood is likely
to crack and cause an opening In the
painted surface. This should be filled
with putty, resin or wax, and another
coat Of paint applied. II this Is not
attended to, decay will develop the
same as II 1t had never been painted.

ually increase the amount to from "
to IL pounds per day at six months
OF age.
Good results may also be obtained
by making a cruel of three-fourths of
pound of rolled oats to from six to
eight pints of boiling water. letting
the mixture stand until cool enough to
feed. Substitute this for whole milk
gradually after the calf Is from ten
to fourteen days old.
Calf meals, whether homemade or
commercial. are used simply as sub
stitutes for milk. and good rough
age with liberal supply of good grow
ing concentrates, such as oats and
bran, with possibly some corn or bar
ley. should be given II satisfactory de-
velopment Is to be obtained.

COLLEGE Suffers Financial Loss.

While the rank and file Of the pub
lie have been imagining that the Mich
igan Agricultural college, because Of
federal appropriations. is making q
fine thing out Of the war, college au-
thorities have disclosed a state of af-
fairs in the institution which has
rather upset popular notions. The
federal appropriations, instead Of ben
efiting the institution, are In reality
draining 1t of It's resources. For ev-
cry dollar, for instance, received by
NJ. A. G. from the government under
the Smith-Lever act, II must duplicate
the appropriation with an equal
amount from It's own funds. This
money, however, cannot be used I'm
the college. 1t cannot be employed In
paying salaries of professors and In
structors, in erecting new buildings
or I'm purchasing equipment, but must
be spent throughout the state on coun-
ty agents, specialists In live stock, ex-
perts In farm crops, and so on.
The result Is that as far as the ed
ucational work Of the college Is con-
cerned, the new appropriations are a
handicap which can be surmounted
only by an increase In the colleges
mill tax.

Crop This Season Represents an
Unusually Heavy Invest
ment.
NEED CARE IN STORAGE
Potatoes Should Not Be Allowed to
Freeze and Should Be Protected
From Light.
BY C. w. WAID,
Potato Specialist, Michigan Agricultu-
raj College.


East Lansing, Mich.-The season of
the year is at hand when potatoes
will be stored in quantity for consump-
tion during the winter No doubt many
more people will buy potatoes in guam
tity this fall than heretofore, and the
very high prices which prevailed last
season. especially during the latter win
ter and spring. will induce the people
to lay in supply this fall when the
prices are sure to be much lower than
they were most of last year.
There is large crop of potatoes in
Michigan this year, but not as large as
1t would have been had the frost held
off to later date. However, there
should be sufficient supply for all.
and 1T is to the interest of the grow
ers, dealers and consumers alike that
a considerable proportion of this crop
be in the hands of the consumers be-
fore winter sets in.
The buying public should keep in
mind the fact that the cost of grow
ing potatoes this year has been very
much greater than it normally is, and
for this reason the consumers should
be willing to pay fair price for pota-
toes In order that the grower may re-
ceive just returns for his investment
If the growers do not receive fair
compensation this season, the planting
will be light in 1918, with corre-
spondingly small crop and extremely
high prices again, especially II war
should continue until that time.
In storing potatoes In small quanti-
ties for winter use they may be put
away under quite varying conditions
Of temperature and moisture. But
they should not be allowed to freeze,
nor should the temperature be so high
that they will dry out too much and
become wilted. An ordinary house
cellar, or even room in the house
may be used for storing potatoes If
the frost is not allowed to get into the
cellar or room.
Potatoes should always be kept from
the Hight If the room or cellar can
not be darkened, the potatoes should
be covered. Exposure to light causes
them to turn green and become more
or less unsuitable for table use. The
ideal conditions for storage are those
under which temperature of from
33 to 40 degrees Is maintained and
where the atmosphere is quite moist.
Under such conditions potatoes will
keep in a sound and firm condition
for long period of time.

dry out the corn. Racks or stringers
should be placed in a dry room with
many windows, or in well-ventilated
attic. Corn for seed should not be
stored in damp places or where it will
be exposed to cold.
1t is doubtful as TO whether any
single days work is as important to
the farmer who grows corn as n day
put in selecting and storing his seed
corn. In single days time good
man can easily select In the field and
arrange on racks or hangers for
proper drying five bushels Of seed
corn, enough to plant 20 acres.
The increase secured from prop
erly handled seed corn, over the or
binary method Of handling. usually
amounts to from seven to ten bushels,
or 1t may mean a difference between
success and failure. Seven bushels on
20 acres, or 40 bushels increase,
should result from this days work In
field selecting and arranging for cur
ing; or at one dollar per bushel, $40
per day, a pretty good days work on
any farm.

Submarine improvements

Since April l German submarines
have been equipped with four new de-
vices which increase their destructive
ness, and render 1t more difficult for
chasers to discover their whereabouts.
Formerly the U-boats, to remain in one
spot, had to come to the surface. or
anchor themselves to the bottom; but
four small pumps are now used which
enable them to remain stationary while
submerged. This not only conseryes
fuel. but prevents It's enemies from
hearing the throb Of the submarines
propellers. Telescope periscopes give
further assistance to the submarine In
cOncealing Its position. A mixture Of
oxygen and strained gas Is now used
In the engines, and the exhaust 10
washed free of smoke and broken into
small bubbles, which do not leave n
wake. Finally, new listening devices
enable it to hear and judge the size of
ships at considerable distance.-Ex.

SUBSTITUTES REPLACE MILK
Can Be Used With Success In Feeding
the Growing Calf-Lessens
Cost.
BY w. e. J. EDWARDS,
Department Of Animal Husbandry,
Michigan Agricultural College.

Michigan Agricultural College.
East Lansing. Mich.--Whole milk Is
the natural feed for calves, for II con-
tains nutrients In the proper proper
tions. 1t will produce larger gains
in live weight than skim milk and
others feeds, but these gains are made
at greater expense. owing to the
high value of whole milk as human
food. Calves should. however, be given
whole milk for the first two or three
weeks, or perhaps somewhat longer.
This measures good healthy start.
When high-class breeding stock Is
being produced, whole milk can be fed
profitably until the calf is several
months old, though skim milk may be
fed at from two to four weeks OF age,
depending upon the health and thrift
mess of the calf. care being taken that
the change from whole to skim milk Is
made very slowly.
But with the demand for whole milk
increasing yearly as n result of grow
ing consumption Of II In our large CEN
ters Of population, skim milk Is not
readily available on many farms. Sew
eral milk substitutes, accordingly,
which have been used quite extensive
ly for calf feeding. are on the mar
ket. A number of these have given
very satisfactory results and have
shown that they will successfully take
the place of skim milk. A good milk
substitute will produce practically as
healthy and rapid growth In the calf
as will skim milk. and Mt greatly re-
duced cost. Recent investigations
have shown, however, that homemade
mixtures which cost much less will
give equally as good results. One Of
the best Is made by thoroughly mixing
equal parts by weight Of hominy feed,
linseed meal, "red dog" flour and dried
blood. A small amount of this mix
ture may be mixed with the whole
milk when the calf Is from seven to
ten days old. Gradually Increase the
meal, mixing II with water In the pro-
portion of one part to seven parts Of
water. AS the mixture Is increased,
decrease the amount Of whole milk 80
that when the calf has reached the
age of FIVE or six weeks the calf meal
will have replaced all Of the skim milk
At this time about ~ pounds Of the
calf meal should be fed daily. Grad
