EliojbIes For Coming Draft.

The MARYLAND district draft boards
will begin at once the compiling OF
list of eligibles for the new draft Or
dered by the President. The tota!
quota for the State is 2.l20. They
must he ready to be sent to Camp
Meade by May 1.
The district boards anticipate no
obstacles in complying with the order
of the Washington authorities which
was received by Governor Harrington
and transmitted by him to Adjutant
General Warfield and the several draft
boards.
Because of experience less delay
and less confusion are anticipated in
this than in the former drafts. The
physical and medical examinations
have been going on since the last
draft. Hence great deal of the pre-
liminary work has already been done
Twenty per cent. Of the drafted men
will move to camp from each district
on April 26. A second 20 per cent. will
move on each of the four days prior
to May !, when the full quota will be
in camp. All Of the questionnaires
sent out in December have been an
swered and returned. Those in Class
1 are first subject to call. Members Of
this class welcome the call as sus-
pense to their anxiety. They had been
expecting the summons for several
days. Now their minds are relieved
that they know their fate.

TRAINING FOR YOUNG BULLS
Should Be Taught to Be Led by Halter
When Quite Young-caretaker
Must Be Master.

When quite young, the bull should
be trained to be led by halter. BY
the time he is a year old, strong ring
should be inserted In his nose so he
can be led by staff. 1t Is not safe to
try to lead grown bull merely by a
halter or rope fastened to his ring. In
leading by the staff, the caretaker
should always walk at the side and
never in front of the bull. One of the
essentials in training the young bull is
that he must be taught that his care
taker is his master. Bulls known to
be vicious usually are handled with
care. with the result that fewer acci'
dents are likely to occur with them
than with those considered gentle.

LEAVING CALVES WITH cows
As Milk for First Four Days Is Unfit
for Human Consumption, Leave
Calf That Time.

Practical dairymen differ in their
opinion as to the length of time the
calf should be left with the COW. The
first milk, or colostrum, is necessary
to cleanse the digestive system of the
calf and get it in working order. The
younger a calf is taught to drink the
easier, but as the milk of the COW is
unfit for human consumption for at
least four days the calf may we'll be
left with the COW for that time. Also,
the udder of the COW is generally in
famed and often caked and the nursing
of the calf helps to relieve this condi-
ton.

SlLAGE FOR DAIRY ANIMALS
Found Superior to Corn Fodder by Ex-
pertinent Stations - Larger
Amount Of Nutrients.

Experiments conducted by expert
ment stations demonstrate that silage
is superior to corn fodder for dairy
cows. Cows receiving silage in the
ration produced 10 per cent more milk
than cows receiving corn fodder. Hen
nv in "Feeds and Feeding" states that
"Silage gives better results than dry
corn fodder for the reason that cows
fed the succulent palatable silage usu-
ally consume a heavier ration than
those fed the dry fodder and hence
have q larger amount Of nutrients
available for milk production after
the maintenance requirements Of the
body have been met"
