SEPARATING CALF FROM cow
Allow Young Animal to Remain win
Daru for Day or So That 1t May
Receive the First Milk. 4

It is well to allow the calf to re-
main with the dam for. a day or two
in order that it may receive the CO.
lostrum, or first milk. Colostrum milk
has a purgative effect which aids IN
clearing out the calf's digestive sys'
tenn. If the mothers milk is very rich,
it may be necessary to feed milk with
a lower percentage Of butterfat.
It is somewhat easier to teach young
calves to drink than it is to teach old
er ones, but in either case it is neces-
sary for the calf to become hungry by
the omission of one or more feeds be-
fore it will drink milk from pail.
One method of. teaching the calf to
drink is to get it to suck the attend
ants finger as it's mouth comes in con-
tact with the milk in the pail. The
finger can be withdrawn gradually,
and the calf will usually continue to
take in the milk. Patience, rather
than force, is a prerequisite on the
part Of the feeder.

NEW STATE GUARD
Ranks Contain Men From All Walks
Of Life-To Be Divided
Into Three Units.

Maryland's own State Guard is now
a reality, and with over 900 members
already enrolled and forming nucleus
for the sly, companies to represent Bal
timore, work of whipping the men into
shape began in earnest.
Fifty-six instructors have been
chosen from among the enrolled mem
bers-men who have had previous mill
tary experience and who will prove
capable ASSISTANTS to Major w. D. Jen-
kins, who has charge of the organiza-
tion work.
The members of the new regiment
are from all walks of life, and range
from 18 to As years of age. Many of
them have had previous military serv-
ice, MANY Of them have been accepted
in the selective draft, but are way
down the list, while others have been
turned down in their efforts to enlist
for foreign service through some slight
physical defect, but their spirit has not
been dampened, and they are in the
State Guard with the same enthusiasm
and earnestness that they would dis
play were they at Camp Meade. Some
of the men who have signifed their
| intention to come out to drill with the
| new organization are we'll known in
Baltimore's business and social life.
The Second Maryland Infantry,
which is the official designation of the
new organization, is to be divided into
three parts or groups-the active, mid
die and reserve corps. Two companies
will be assigned to each group, and the
nlea who enlist may choose which
/ group they prefer to be connected
with. Thus, man who feels that he
has the time and inclination to devote
all of his efforts to the work of the
regiment will be placed in the active
group. Those men who, for business
reasons, can only devote part of their
efforts to regimental business, but who
can spend month each year to active
service, will be placed in the middle
group, while the older men, who feel
that their business needs their full
attention, but WHO, nevertheless, feel
as though they owed a duty to thei1
state, will constitute the reserve
group.

COWS NOT MIXED PROPERLY

There is not much to be gained by
feeding a COW unless you are deter
mined to get all the milk and butterfat
the feed makes. You cannot get all
the milk and butterfat the feed makes
unless you milk the cow right. A large
percentage of cows are not milked
Eight, so a large loss Of milk and a
