TWO OIL SHOW|NGS
ON ALDR|CH DOME
Contract Executed Yester-
day for Drilling of 16-Inch
Hole on the Property

For the second time within two
weeks a decided showing of oil was
encountered on Aldrich dome of the
Dixie Gas company yesterday.
Yesterdays showing was in well No,
4, at a depth of 2S7 feet. There was
no quantity of the oil. but officials of
the company regard it as highly sig
nificant though they consider the de-
velopment of naturai gas here high
er economic value just now than oil.
The first showing of oil was in we'll No.
8, about two weeks ago, at 100 feet.
Enough of the oil was taken out at
that time for analysis which showed it
of fine quality. The two wells are
about 100 feet apart.
Superintendent MeDonough and 9TH
ers of the company feel that the show
ings mean that the oil is sure to be
found further down on the flanks of the
dome.
The company yesterday signed con-
tract with S. NJ VAIN of Parkersburg,
w. Va, to bring his standard rig here
and drill a big we'll on the dome. The
contract calls for drilling to a max
imum depth of 2700 feet unless oil or
gas in quantity is found at higher
level. Mr., VAIN will start with a To-
inch casing The contract provides for
ultimate payment of about $4,000. OF

Although corn constitutes large

Hog raisers differ widely regarding

BEST POULTRY HOUSE FLOOR
Each Has Its Advantages and Dlsao-

fully Considered.

Prepared by the Unite States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
In making the floor of the poultry
house several things must be taken
into consideration. Where the soil on
which the house is constructed is light
and we'll drained, earth floors are satlS-
factory and economical. Where the
soil is heavy and drainage is not good,
as is usually the case when 1T contains
much clay, floors made of wood or ce-
ment are generally preferred. hacn

A floor of earth needs to be renewed
at least once a year. If the dropplngS
that fall upon the floor are carefulIy
removed at frequent, regular Intervals,
much of the earth is removed with
them. IF the regular cleaning OF the
floor is superficial, the earth or the
floor to q depth of several inches be-
comes so mixed with drOppingS that IT'S
condition is very insanitary.
When the poultry keeper has gar

The principal fault Of cement floor
is that it is likely to be cold and damp.
These conditions may be corrected by
covering the floor to a depth of an
inch or two with dry earth or SAND,
using over this scratching litter OF
straw or shavings. Floors so treated
require as much routine work to keep
them in good order as earth floors, but
the supply Of clean earth required la

NATION NEEDS DAIRY CALVES
Dairyman Will Be Doing Patriotic
Duty by Developing HeIfers-Hints
on Care Needed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
No dairy calf that gives promise Of
profitable milk producer should be |
sent to the market to be made into |
meat. Although meat is in demand,
these calves will serve the nation bet
ter If allowed to grow and produce
milk and more calves. The dairyman,
too, will be doing at patriotic duty by
developing the heifers, and in addition
he will be building up more profita-
BILE herd if he uses good judgment in
caring for his young stock. Careful
attention during the first two weeks
often means the difference between a
sickly, understood, stunted animal and
a large, well-developed one, when it
enters the herd as a milking cow.
Immediately after birth the navel Of
the calf should be washed with an an
tiseptic solution and tied with a silk
thread in order to prevent infection.
For the first feed the calf should have
the first milk from the cow after calv-
ing, and should have it's mothers
milk for a week thereafter. The soon
er the weaving takes place the better,
but ordinarily it should not be post
poned later than the fourth day. The
sooner the calf is weaned the more cas-
lily it is taught to drink. When first
fed from the pail eight to ten pounds,
or four or five quarts, Of milk day,
fresh and warm from the cow, and di-
| vided into two feeds, are Suff1c1ent.
| The feeding times should be rs nearly
regular as possible, and at first it is ad-
visable to feed more than twice day.
The amount fed should be constant,
and to insure this, scales or measur-
ing cups should be used, as variation
tends to get the digestive organs out
of order. At all times the utmost care
should be taken to prevent any dlges-
tive disorder, as all such trouble him
ders the thrift and development OF
the calf. Calf scours is the most COM
mon indication Of indigestion.
The following named precautions,
to n great extent, tend to prevent
scours:
Feed regularly.
Be sure that the milk is always
sweet and warm.
In feeding use only clean pals.
Feed the calf a little less than II
wants.
Should the calf become sick, reduce
the amount of milk one-half, until the
animal has recovered.
The amount of milk fed can be grad
uallv increased until at the end OF
the second week the calf receives from
IL to 16 pounds, or three-fOurths to tWt
, gallons of milk a day. This time tn

grain and more time to finish off the
hogs than If they had been fed lib
eral ration while on pasture.
The amount Of grain used also Will
depend upon the length of time the
feeder has in which to fit the hogs for
market Hogs that are marketed from
ten to twelve months old are usually
maintained on pasture alone during the
grazing season. If any grain is given
at all it is very light. In this way the
greater percentage of growth is MADE
from the cheaply grown forage. Where
rapid finishing is desired, the liberal
use of grain is important.
Importance of Pasture.
Permanent pastures also play an I'M
portant part in a forage-crop success
sion. Such pastures as alfalfa, the
clovers, blue grass, Bermuda, and
number of others, have their greatest
use during the summer, when few tenn
porary crops, such as corn. soy beans,
cOwpeas, and velvet beans, are avail
able. Permanent pastures do not FUR
nish grazing as early in the spring as
do the cereals, but they grow better
during late spring and summer and az
ford an abundance of forage at sea-
son when few other pasture crops are
ready to Craze. A permanent pasture
| then takes the place of reserve for
age crop, being called upon to furnish
grazing at any time of the year when
other pastures fail Or are exhausted.
Dry-lot rations are not usually salts
factory from q financial standpoint
Corn ordinarily forms the basis of the
ration, with protein supplied from one
of the concentrates, such as mill feeds,
oil meal, soy beans, alfalfa, or like
feeds. Where milk is available 1t is
frequently fed to hogs to advantage
but under present conditions much OF
the skim milk which has been given
to hogs should, now be manufactured
into cheese.
When fed in the dry lot, common
custom is to give the pigs all the feet
they will clean up in reasonably
short time. For a pig weighing 10 tt
so pounds live weight, full ration fol
one day is about six pounds of grair
for each 100 pounds of weight; fol
larger pigs the ration will continue
to grow smaller in proportion to weigh
until the 800 to 35O-pound pig will onl!
consume a daily ration equal to abou
"a per cent of his weight.
