DAIRY
QUARTERS FOR DAIRY CALVES
To Prevent Dumping and JostIlng Of
Young Animals Small Pens
Should Be Provided.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Small calves should not be bumped
and jostled about. An easy way to
prevent this is to provide small pens,
not less than four by six feet in size,
In each Of which a calf may be kept
for the first two weeks. The pens
should be fitted with feed boxes for
grain and racks for hay. After the
calf is old enough to run with the
others 1t Is placed with them in a
larger pen. Stanchlons are fixed on
one side Of this pen to provide for the
separate feeding of the calves, so as
to insure that each receives its proper
care. Racks for hay should also be
placed within easy reach Of the calves.
Too much emphasis cannot be laid
upon the necessity Of having light, dry
quarters for the calves. Bedding al
ways should be abundant and should
be changed often, in order that the
pen always may be dry. Lack Of at
tention to these matters Is very likely
to allow the development Of the varl-
Gus calf diseases.
After the calf Is a few weeks old, 1t
can stand considerable cold II it is
kept dry and has dry quarters. Pro-
vision also should be made to allow
the calves plenty of exercise. A small
paddock or pasture adjoining the calf
stables is excellent for this purpose.
Except for the very young ones, calves
may be let out In the exercise lot for
a short period each day when the
weather is not too cold or stormy.
II the calves are kept together In
a large pen 1t is very difficult to feed
them by hand unless they are tied.
When they are loose the milk often is

Proper Planting Of Shade Trees,

The beauty of a shade tree depends
upon Its normal and symmetrical
growth. In order to insure this, be-
fore planting cut Off the ends Of all
broken or mutilated roots; remove all
side branches save upon evergreens,
so that a straight whiplike stalk alone
remains. Dig holes at least two feet
in diameter and one foot deep In good
soil, and make them four feet across
In poor soil. The sides of holes should
be perpendicular and the bottom fiat.
Break up soil In the bottom Of the hole
to the depth Of the length of a spade
blade. Place two or three inches Of
fine top soil, free from sods or other
decOmpOsing organic matter, In the
bottom Of the hole. On top of this
place the roots of the tree, spread
them as evenly as possible over the
bottom Of the hole, and cover with
two or three inches Of fine top soil
as before. Tramp firmly with the feet
and fill the hole with good earth. leav-
ing the surface loose and q little higher
than the surface of the surrounding
soil. When the work of planting is
completed, the tree should stand about
two inches deeper than 1t stood In the
nursery.

HOW AUTOMOBILE
may Be Learned
Initial Lesson in Handling Ma
chine Should Be How to
Stop Quickly.
STARTING NOT so IMPORTANT
Make Numerous Attempts to Bring Car

Gained-Measure Distance
Accurately.

Running an automobile through traf.
Don't do 1t until you are SC sure Of
yourself that all danger of panic has
gone by. And always expect the I'M
expected. Leave your family or friends
at home on those first few rides.
Initial Lesson.
AS you initial lesson, after you have
learned the names, and above all the
pOtentialities of the various levers,
learn how to stop. OF course, us a
preliminary, you must start, but that
can be at your leisure. Make Il dozen
or even a hundred attempts to bring
the car to a stondstill until you have
gained confidence. Then adventure
along some quiet, unObstructed road.
After you have received some in
structiOn about the general mechanism
Of the car. practice stopping suddenly
before reaching imaginary dangers
along the road. Don't wait for this
lesson until a child, a chicken, an alb
sent-mInded saunterer or some other
irresponsible live thing sends your
brand-new knowledge helter-skelter.
Measuring Distance.
Measuring distance accurately Is the
most important feature Of driving.
Draw two lines across the road fifty
feet apart. Then, going at the rate Of
twenty miles ar hour. apply the brake
and see how long 1t takes you to stop
the car. When you discover how much
over the ffty-foot line your automobile
goes, you realize the necessity for the
drivers first rule-cautiOn.
This trial also teaches you what
speed is safe in approaching railroad
crossings and i~ntersecting streets. and
how near you can go to traffic before
applying your brake.-POpular Science

deposits are under O~nondaga lake in
the form of a great basin of salt
