Again comes the old scrap between
those who would lop OF a mile from the

would keep the present distance Of four
miles. The most important hacker Of
the shorter distance Is none other than
"OId Man" Courtney. Cornell's great
coach believes that three. miles IS long
enough to test tie qualities OF the con-

Is that the real crux is not at the be-
ginning Of the fourth mile. but rather
at the end Of the second. Going into the

ORCHARD HINTS.

The soil should be well prepared be-
fore trees are planted i'll a new or
chard. PlOw it deep with Il turning
plOw; then harrow till there are no
clOds. Even after doing this it pays
to blast holes for the trees.
Experiments have shown that trees
in blasted holes grow much faster and
bear sooner than trees set where there
is hard subsOil fer the roots to pene-
trate.
If blasting is not done it will be adj
yisable to throw out the plowed soil
with shovel at the spot where tree
is to stand and dig deep with a pick,
and one should never fail to have the
ground lOosened deep for pear trees, as
their roots grow downward more than
any other kinds of trees and often die
because of shallow holes.
When tbs trees are planted their tops
should be cut Off about one=third the
way down This helps the roots to take
hold in the soil, shuts off much of the
demand Of the tree for elements from
the soil and goes far toward insuring
the life and the healthfulness of the
tree. AND this topping ought to be
done each year till about the third
year.

HEAVY FEED CAUSES SCOURS
Common and Very Effective Remedy Is
Dose of Castor OLDEST to Feed
Calf Twice Each Day.

(By w. L. FOWLER, Department of Ami
NAL Husbandry, Oklahoma A. and M.
College, Stillwater)
The change of climate and milk
should not cause a calf to scour, I'M
less too much milk of poor quality is
given to the calf en- route or after it
arrives. Scours are generally caused
by heavy feeding or by the use of cold
or sour milk fed out of unclean
buckets. In case the calf scOurs, l
would cut it's amount of milk to about
onc-half and give Il dose of castor Oil,
or a mixture of salol and biSmuth sub
nitrate. The latter is a common rem
edy and is very effective.
The best practice is to feed the calf
twice day. If you are milking your
COWS three times a day, the calf can be
fed as often. Good results are had by
feeding the calf warm sweet milk i'm
mediately after the cows are MIXED.
If the calf is of the Jersey or Guernsey
breed, eight to ten pounds of milk a
day for the first few weeks will be
enough. If you have no way of weigh
ing the milk, it would be a good idea to
feed just a little more than half gal
Ion Of milk twice day.

NOTE THE BREEDING PENS.

Sturdiest Males In the Flock,

Select only thrifty Hens ana tho
Sturdiest Males In the Flock.
The farm flock either improves or de-
teriorateS from year to year accord
ing to the attention given to the mat
ing which precedes the laying OF the
eggs used for Matching, says Bet
ter Farming. Now is the time to note
the breeding pens for Matching eggs in
February. Make the final selections
and keep only the strongest, thriftiest
hens. To these mate the sturdiest
most lusty, best bodieu roosters.
All improved stock returns to the
normal or mediocre unless one con-
stantly breeds up and up. There is
no standstil. The flock either goes
forward or backward in strength. 1t
might as we'll get better. To insure
that requires only q little attention to
the mating. Do it now. Pick out
your breeding stock and watch the re
suits in the next crop of chicks. no
work on the farm will pay better than
the few hours spent in mating up the
breeding pens.
See that the layers are receiving a
good laying ration, supplying plenty of
protein, green feed and oyster shell.
This is the time to feed the surplus
vegetables that are stored away in the
cellar. \ cabbage head suspended by
strings couple of feet from the floor

you are giving them plenty of exercise
Clean up the incubator and get it in
running order. 1t might be advisable
to run trial hatch before the season
opens.
There is always some new equip
ment, such as breeders and feed hop
pcrs, and this is the time to order all
such supplies.
Have you considered any addition
to your poultry yard? A small trial

Animals Thus Afflicted Soon Get Gu

Animals Thus Afflicted Soon Get Out
of Condition.
Many horses get out Of condition or
fail to make gains during the winter
months because they are infested with
worms. This is especially true Of colts.
Horses suffering from worms generally
have a good appetite, but apparently
benefit little from the food eaten.
There may be no symptoms which
point conclusively to worms, but this
trouble is so common that if the colts
and horses are not doing as well as
they should for the feed given, worm
remedy may prove of decided value. In
treating horses for worms DR.. l.. S.
Baclkus of the Missouri College Of Agri-
culture suggests it is well to keep in
mind that the drug is meant for the
worm rather than the horse and should
therefore be given in as concentrated a
form as possible. To insure this little
or no bulky food should be fed during
the course of treatment, and as the
parasites are stupefied by worm rene
dies rather than killed the animals
bowels should be kept in an active con-
dition so that the stupefed worms may
be passed out before they. regain their
vitality. A well sailed bran mash once
day will generally insure such an ac-
ton.
The following formula is worm
remedy which is also of value as a
tonic: Powdered nux vOmica, two
ounces; powdered gentian root, four
ounces; powdered areca nut, six ounces;
sodium chloride common salD, four
ounces; arsenious acid, two drains.
Mix.
Give a heaping teaspoonful to every
$50 pounds weight every morning and
evening for about ten days. The medi-
cine may be mixed with ground feed or
sprinkled over oats or corn which has
been dampened.

KEEP YOUNG CALVES THRIFTY
Ration Consisting of Cracked Corn,
Whole Oats, Bran and Oil Is
Considered Excellent.

A very excellent ration for keeping
young calves in good, thrifty, health
full, growing condition is one con-
sisting Of equal parts cracked corn,
whole oats, bran and oil meal. This
fed regularly and literally in conjunc-
ton with clover hay will make them
thrive well. The cracked corn fur
nishes carbohydrates in sufficient pro-
portion to keep the calves in excellent
flesh and it furnishs heat for warming
their bodies in cold weather. Whole
oats are very excellent for imparting
bone and muscle-growing material !;
also stamina in young calves. Cracked
or shelled corn and whole oats will be
digested just as readily and efficiently
by calves under one year as will these
grains when ground, and calves seem
to prefer them unground.

REGULARITY Is GOOD HABIT

Quantity of Milk-Annuai Out

In all things regularity is good
practice, but in milking it is impera-
tive. AS a rule, the COW is MIXED at
about five o'clock of mornings in sum
mer and at seven or eight O'Clock in
the morning in winter. The evening
milking is done very late in summer
and very early in winter. The unequal
periods are made for the COW by this
sun-to-sun milking, and as conse-
quence the quality Of her milk and the
quantity of the same, as well as the
length Of her annual period of milk
giving, arc reduced.

calves being from a good registered

information may be secured as to the
cost of production, which is growing
