The outlook for the dairy business
is good and with the producers or
ganized to market their product,
dairying will be put on a paying ba-
SIS" said Frank S. Adams of Bow
doinham chief of the bureau of ami
NAL industry of the State department
of agriculture in a bulletin issued
Monday.
1t says
There are in Maine nearly 10000
cows. As the average period Of use
fulness of the dairy COWS is not more
than eight years, this means that, to
only maintain the dairy herds of the
State there must be raised $4,000
heifer calves every year and it seems
that, under present conditions, this is
en- opportune time to increase the size
Of the herds.
The outlook for the dairy business
is good. With the producers organized
to market their product, dairying will
be put on a paying basis. The marked
increase of two cents a quart, to take
effect August /, shows what can be
done by ORGANIZED effort. and the fact
that the COW population has been
nearly wiped out in some of the
countries of Europe must mean high
price for dairy products in the future,
and the herds can be increased on
mcst farms without increasing the
overte charges. While the dairy
men are confronted with high prices
for grain, hay is cheap and a large
crop is waiting to be harvested.
The raising Of calves is the most
satisfactory way to improve the herd.
This comes only through the replacing
Of worn out and discarded cows by
| better heifers. Such heifers must be
the result of mating pure bred bull
with a herd of cows from which the
low producers have been culled. The
dairyman's main object in raising
calves should be to improve and in
crease the size Of his herd. Under
most conditions it will pay to raise
every well-bred heifer calf.
The COW should be allowed to calve
in a clean, freshly bedded stall; in
warm weather. in the pasture. The
COW should be in good condition and
| allowed to have a rest from the milk
ing period Of from six to eight weeks
The calf should always deceive its
mothers milk for the first two or
three days of its life. Because this
milk is quite unlike normal milk, it
stimulates the calf's digestive tract to
action. The earlier the calf Is taken
from its mother, the easier 1t will be
to teach it to drink 1t will learn to
drink more quickly, If 1t is not offered
milk for twenty-four hours after it
has been separated from its mother
| In most cases 1t will learn to drink
quite readily if allowed to such the
feeders fingers while they are held
| under the milk.
i The calf can be put on skim milk
diet at the age of two or three weeks.
| The change to skim milk should be
gradual The young calf should not
be given over four or five quarts
day, and when the calf is quite
young, better results will be obtained
If it is fed three times a day The
! skim milk feed should be increased. as
Daily Kennebec journal., 1917-07-24
Outlook for the Dairy Business
Is Good, Says Chief Frank s. Adams

the calf grows older, to eight or ten
quarts per day.
The calf will begin to eat a little
grain after it is two weeks old. At
the age Of a week, grain should be
kept before it and a little put into its
mouth Immediately after it has fin
ished its milk. This is an easy way
to teach it to eat. The grain should
be fed dry.
Willie there is no feed that is the
equal of skim milk for raising calves
yet it is possible to raise good calves
without milk. I saw this demon
strated at the National Dairy Show in
1914, and l have also seen it demon
strated in Maine. At the Dairy Show,
six calves We're on exhibition that had
been used for this demonstration at
the Indiana Experiment Station. The
average weight of the three calves at
the end of the experiment 1s3 days.,
that had been raised on skim milk
was 253 pounds The three that had
been raised on skim milk substitute
was 238 pounds. They were all fine
looking calves.
The slim milk substitute used was
a mixture cf equal parts of hominy
meal. blood meal, linseed meal and
Red Dog Flour The average rally
ration of this mixture was l IA
pounds in 10 pounds Of water.
Both lots Of calves were fed dry
mixture of equal parts of ground oats
and corn on the average Of about one
pound a day.
The calf should be given hay about
the same time it is given grain; early
cut clover or mixed hay is the best.
Do rot neglect to give the calf water
after it is two or three weeks old. 1t
will drink quite a quantity in addition
to the skim milk. Also see that salt
is provided. The calf can be weaned
when it is six months old. but If skim
milk is abundant. continue the feed.
Do not turn the calf away into some
back pasture; have a calf pen near
the barn. II nothing better, the parn-
yard will do. 1t is better, the first
year. to feed from the barn every day.
The common trouble in raising
calves is scours, or Indigestion usu-
ally caused by overfeeding, dirty feed
pals. or not having the milk the
right temperature. which is from 95 to
100 degrees. The remedy is to cut
down the feed It will help, to put a
spoonful Of soda in the milk and to
give raw eggs. If a separator is used.
remove the foam from the milk before
feeding.
GRAIN RATIoNS FOR HEIFERS
Ration 1. Three parts bran. one part
corn meal, one part linseed meal.
Ration 2. Two parts bran, two
parts hominy. one part linseed meal,
one part ground oats.

Grandson Former Chief
Justice Writes OF Flights
Ia New Army Dirigibles

During the month of June last 1t was
announced that a new unit of eight col
lege men had been created in the Aviation
department. to take three months
course Of study in the operation of bal
looms and didigibles, at place some
where in the United States not an
nounced.
This was the first unit to be trained in
this work in the United States. Among
these eight men was William Penn White
house, I'd son of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert T.
Whitehouse Of Portland and grandson of
former chief justice, William Penn White
house of Augusta Mr.. Whitehouse had
just graduated from Harvard, and had
for some weeks been in the United States
Naval Reserve stationed at Charlestown,
Mass, in the Sayronara II. The work
there was not sufficiently active or useful
to suit the young man and he thereupon
applied for admittance to the Aviation
department and was promptly accepted
and received his call as a member of the
dirgible unit and was at once ordered to
the training station, where he has been
engaged in the work for the past four
weeks.
At the end of the three months course,
on successfully passing examinations, the
members of the unit receive commissions
as lieutenant commanders, and may be
stationed either in the coast defense or IN
connection with the U-boat warfare, on
the coast of France or of England. The
following extracts from Mr. Whitehouse' y
letters home concerning his flights among
the clouds and the work of the "Blimps :"

Monday. July II, P. M-The sun was
just setting behind the little island in

clouds on the horizon and flooding the
whole west with crimson when the sail
ors toted the big "blimp' out of the han

wooden propeller was started and the en-
CINE began to roar. The gas In the bag
gave the dirigible a slight positive lift
which had been adjusted by ballast and
now with the thrust OF the propeller 1t

around each other; flashing now and then
like the silver sides of flsh as the sun

was none of the swift darting and swoop-
ing of the aeroplane, but the slow, grace
full way the unwieldly things rose or fell
was quite as thrilling to me. could not
help thinking however, what beautiful
targets they would make. Finally they
came toward us, dipping to earth in
series of graceful dives; from 100 feet the
drag rope was dropped and the sailors
pulled the big ship to the ground. The
whole maneuver had taken but half an
hour.
At present the hangar is working day
and night and besides three blimps now
nearly ready for operation the place is
full of spherical and kite balloons. The
big problem Just al present Is to stand
ardize the pattern SO that they can be
made in sufficient numbers: to this end
they have used French and English mod
els though our "plimb" is considerably
different from both. The most obvious
difference to the observer would be that
our cars are tractor" type with propeller
in front while the English are ''pusher"
and leave the front of the car clear for
observations Both types are non-rigif
gas bags held in shape solely by the hy-
drogen they contain.
Our camp is very fortunate In having
several navy officers who have had the
opportunity to see aerial conditions on
the other side and can explain in many a
colorfu story the practical application OF
the theory are studying. They confirm

A question often asked by people
from all sections is:
What will we do for troops if need
ed. when all our National Guard has
been taken into the Federal service and
gone away?"
The answer is not matter Of gener-
al knowledge and for the information
of the public the question was put up
to Adjutant General George Mel. Pres
sen at the State House, who replied:
Il have also been asked that question
many times. The best answer l can
think of is contained in the law itself,
az given in Circular No. 16, issued on
June 20, 1915 by the war department,
being the text of AN Act for making
further and more effectual provision for
the national defence. and for other pur-
poses" 1t was approved by the Pres
ident on June 8. 1916. 1t follows:
