CALVES WITH WHITE SCOURs

White scours In calves Is form Of

Is generally caused by changing the
calf's milk or giving cold or skim
milk when not used to II. The ma
nure is very thin and Of yellowish-
white color. The calf has pains,

grits its teeth and keeps looking
around at Its sides. Try to discover
the cause of the trouble, and II from

Give the calf good, warm milk to

WARM WATER FOR DAIRY cow
Cheaper to Heat Supply Than for

letin.)
A good supply Of clean, fresh water
should always be ut hand for dairy
cows. Much water Is needed for the
high-producing mich cow owing to the
nature of her product, about 81 pcr
cent of which is water. 1t should be
handy at all times, and in the winter
If the tank is outside, heat should be
applied to take the chill off the water.
Cows will drink more water if warmed
to 60 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit than if
made to drink ice water. A tank heater
can be provided at low cost that will
keep water at proper temperature,
thereby saving feed and energy of the
animal. 1t is cheaper to warm ice wa
ter than to allow the COW to warm it
with high-priced feed.

have 1t cut very freely on the down
ward stroke. which 1t would not do
were it straight or provided with teeth
set In the opposite direction. This
type is exceedingly useful where the
removal of branches of considerable
size is necessary. Other forms Of
pruning saws are made to be used
upon the end Of pole, and some are
also provided with a chisel blade at
one end so that they can be used for
smoothing the cut surface after saw
ing off branch, or for cutting off
small water sprouts or branches in the
same way that they would be cut with
Ratchet. The method Of removing
branches, however, is not to be COM
mended, as 1t is seldom possible to cut
them close to their origin, which Is, OF
course, necessary in order to secure
the best results.

DENTAL TREATMENT
TREE CAVITY
Department of Agriculture Gives
Directions for Repairing
Tree Injured by Storm.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
1t sometimes happens that valu-
able shade or orchard tree becomes
injured in such way as to cause a
cavity. This may have resulted from
the breaking of a branch in a storm
or from improper pruning. Whatever
the cause the treatment Is practically
the same. All decayed or decaying
matter should be removed from the
cavity and with sharp gouge or
chisel all diseased wood cut away un-
til sound heartwOod is exposed. Then,
before moisture or other injurious In
influences can act upon the newly ex-
posed parts, the whole cavity should
be filed with thin mortar, made by
mixing one part of Portland cement
with three parts of clean, sharp sand.
After the mortar has had time to be-
come stiff, but not hard, surface
coat made Of one part of sand and one
part of cement should be added and
the surface so faced as to exclude all
moisture from the opening of the cav
ity. An additional safeguard would
be had in treating the inside of the
cavity with copper-sulphate solution
Zone pound to five or six gallons of
water) after the diseased wood has
been removed with gouge or chisel
and before the cement mortar is
poured into the cavity.

BEST RESULTS WITH
SCUPERNONG GRAPES
Old Overhead Arbor Does Not
Produce as Good Fruit as
TreIIis-Cut Back Buds.
clemson College Bulletin.)

For best results with scupernong
and other muscadine grapes the vines
should be planted 80 feet apart in rows
10 feet wide, and trained to three
wire trellis, says the horticultural d.
vision of Clemson college. One or two
year-old vines are best to plant. They
should be cut back five to six buds
above ground Immediately after plant
ing.
The trellis should be constructed
with the first wire 2 feet from the
ground, the second wire feet, and
the third wire feet. The canes should
be trained to fan shape over the
trellis. The usual method is for one
cane to be trained straight up the CEN
ter and two canes on each side.
If the vines fail TO make as satisfac-
tory growth little stable manure
spread round the roots and dug into
the soil will cause the plant to grow
vigorously.

REMEDY FOR CHAPPED TEATS
Carefully Wash With Warm, Soft Wa.
ter Containing Disinfectant-
Dry and Apply Salve.

Chapped and sore teats of any kind
should be carefully washed with warm
soft water containing little disinfec-
tant. Dry them carefully and apply
little salve. The salve may be just
ordinary vaseline it may be any of the
carbolic acid salves purchased in the
drug store, or 1t may be made up Of
three parts of lard and one part Of tur-
pentine.
This salve protects the teat during
the time between milkings. 1t excludes
air and keeps the teats from drying
and cracking and the surface of the
teats become smooth and soft. In
stead of being uneasy during milking
the COW will stand quietly and show no
discomfort OF any kind from this
source.
