MILK SUBSTITUTE FOR CALF
Massachusetts Experiment Station
Recommends Feeding Mixture Cost
ing Three Cents Pound


Nothing is better than milk on which
to raise thrifty, growing calves,
whether they are intended for the
dairy the feed lot or the show ring.
The ordinary farmer often finds milk
too expensive as calf feed. The fol-
lowing substitute is recommended by
the Massachusetts, Experiment sta
ton: Twenty-Five pounds ground
oats, ten pounds linseed meal, five
pounds middlings, II pounds fine corn
meal, IL pounds fine blood meal, one
half pound salt. Total cost, three cents
pound.
Prepare by adding one-half pound
of meal to two quarts of boiling water
for each feed. At each feeding moisten
the meal first with little cold water
to prevent it forming Jumps, and then
pour on the boiling water. and stir
we'll. When this is cooled down to
the temperature of milk fresh drawn
from the COW it is ready to feed
1t is better to let the calf have whole
milk for about week, then gradually
introduce a little of the milk substi-
tute for ten days or two weeks, when
you can cut out the milk entirely
AS soon as the calf will eat, let it
have hay and little of the meal dry,
together with fresh water Always
have the calf meal mixture milk
warm when fed. Have the buckets
clean and do not overfeed- A young
calf Will usually begin to eat hay at
about three weeks old

cow NEEDS RESTING PERIOD
Some Animals Maintain Good Milk
Flow Right Up to CaIVing Time
Rest Is Important

The dairying department of the New
Jersey agricultural experiment station
recommends that the dairy farmer
should remember to give his cows a
rest of six weeks or more before they
freShen. Some cows may maintain
good flow of milk right up to calving
time, and in such cases the dairyman
hesitates to dry them Off for rest
period of several weeks. This should
be done, however. and the COW we'll fed
so that she will he in good flesh when
she freShenS.
The work of producing a heavy yield
of milk for ten months or year is a
severe drain upon the cows strength
and vitality, and period of rest
should be given her to recuperate and
prepare for another IactatiOn period
If she finishes her milking period quite
thin in flesh, she should be given a
longer dry period and more literally
fed. The loss of what milk the COW
might produce during the dry period
Will be made up several times over
by an increased yield during the fol-
lowing lactatiOn period A good rest
and liberal feeding preceding the date
of calving helps largely to bring about
II good yield during the following year

ROAD CONSTRUCTION is SLOW
Estimated That United States Spend
ing About $3.50, 100000 Annually
on improvements.

Road construction is bound to be
slow because of its great cost. Fig
ures show that the average cost of
sand-clay roads in the United States
is 500 a mile, of gravel roads $1,000,
of macadam $4,000 and of asphalt
macadam $4,000 a mile
1t has been estimated that the states
are spending about S250,o0O,OOO a year
on roads, and the expenditure is in
creasing every year.
Europe has a great advantage over
US, because the old countries have
handed down to them the best kinds
OF roads for centuries

HENS CLASSED WITH THE
HYPHENATES BY BUCKEYES

WARREN, O., April 17-If hens are
kept in this city, they must be hand
cuffed. This was the edict given by
the police chief. who said that all
chickens (feathered) running loose
will be confiscated. 1t is said that one
industrious hen can do more damage
to the food supply of the nation than
an ordinary zepplin if permitted to de-
vote her misdirected energies to a
garden which is planted a la Vrooman
for the preservation of the people
through the growth and conservation
of the garden.

MILK AND BUTTERFAT FEEDS
Utilize Every Possible MorseI of Food
Teeth and Stomach Wear Out
First in Cow

Every possible morsel of food fed to
dairy cows should be utilized for the
production of milk and butterfat- The
teeth and the stomach are the two
organs of a COW which wear out first,
especially the former This is caused
In great part by the COW having to eat
hard dry unground grain There is an
old saying, mo chain is stronger than
its weakest link" With the dairy COW
also this holds true When one organ
of digestion wears out, then the whole
cow is useless.
good dairy COW should be kept as
long as possible. and IL she Is properly
fed and cared for, she Will be useful
for about fifteen years. Some give a
nice mess OF milk at the age OF twenty
years.

We're practically all that could be de-
sired. In Mississippi, it was found,
there is a state law requiring that a
special annual tax of at least one mill
be levied for the upkeep of all roads
constructed by means of bond issues,
the fund to be kept separate from all
other funds to be used for maintenance
only. Instead of deterioration taking
place on the roads of some of the
counties in other states on which ex-
aminations were made, it was found
that in LauderdaIe county, Mississippi,
roads built several years ago and
maintained from the special fund have
actually improved since their compile
ton
The county roads of Franklin county,
New York. it was found, are main
tanned with contribution of 90 per
cent by the state and under indirect
state supervision AS result of this
system, the roads have been kept up
to their condition on completion. While
provisions for maintenance were on
the whole not satisfactory in the coun-
ties of the other states in which stud
les were made, this condition since has
been remedied in Virginia by the pass
age of a state law providing that an an
nual tax of not less than three per cent
of the amount of bonds issued shall
be levied to provide maintenance
fund for bond-built roads.
The existence of a regulation tend
ing to lessen damage to roads and so
to reduce maintenance costs was re
vealed by the studies in Spotsylvania
county, Virginia, where the county SUI
pervisors had passed an ordinance
placing a relatively low limit on loads
that may be hauled in wagons fitted
with narrow tires and considerably
higher limit on loads for wide-tired
wagons. AS result, most of the
wagons using the roads of the county
have been fitted with tires ranging
from three to six inches wide.

sky, so low down as to peep at me
through the upper branches OF trees
lining the bank. Behind us stretched
a space Of straight water. and one
canoe was close, while the second was
barely visible along a curve Of the
shore. Ahead, however, the river ap-
peared vacant, the leading boat hav-

safely ashore. I reached m feet,

without aid of Cassion, whose passage
