Calves and pigs do we'll when some
skim milk is fed, but they need it only
for a short time and in limited ouan-
titles. Except when fed to very young
animals, skim milk is fed most econom-
ically when supplemented with grain.
For dairy calves skim milk may be sub
stituted in part for whole milk on the
tenth day. If the calves are vigorous
they should receive a little grain and
hay at two weeks of age and it is safe
to discontinue the skim milk five or six
weeks later.

To put so divisions in France before

"We shall need every single man in
class between eighteen and forty five.
We must not delude ourselves with
the idea that those in the eighteen or
nineteen calls are going to be deferred
any length of time. They will have to
be called early next spring in order to
get their training in time to get to

No general exemption of married
men simply because of their married

ker declared in statement before the

the jury's verdict they stand guilty OF
conspiracy to hamper the conduct OF
the war;
When the verdict was read Haywood
started and his face became ashen.
With a sigh he sank back into MS
chair.
Slowly the men filed out after hear

men who have been weakened by the
lives they have led, the verdict might

may get and two years a minimum

Washington, Aug. 19.-The recon-

heavier taxes be imposed upon I'M
earned incomes than upon salaries or
wages in return for labor was adopted
on Monday by the ways and means
committee.
The normal tax on earned incomes
of over $4,000 was fixed at 10 per cent,
an increase of per cent over the pres
ent law, and the unearned income nor
NAL tax was established at 13 per cent
Below $4,000 the normal rate is put at
per cent.
There was great opposition to what
should be considered an .unearned in
come, but finally this definition was
agreed upon:
''That portion of net income derived
from dividends on preferred stocks
from interest, rentals, royalties and
annuities"
The committee changed the section
previously adopted providing for the
payment of income taxes by indiyidu-
ais and corporations in installments.
While the committee has not en-
tirely completed the section dealing
with incomes, Mr.. Kitchin said that
the exemptions will remain unchanged,
at 81, 900 and $4,000 for single and mar
ried persons respectively, with 5000 adj

The most successful method for the

Where it is proposed to plant sod
land to corn the following YEAR to
prevent wireworm injury the land
should be plowed Immediately after
the first hay cutting, usually early in
July, and should be cultivated deeply
during the remainder of the summer.
Land already In corn which is badly
infested should be cultivated deeply,
even at the risk of slightly root pruning
the corn. This should be continued
as long as the corn can be cultivated,
and as soon as the crop is removed
the field should be TILED thoroughly
before it is sown to wheat.
In regions where wheat is seeded
down for hay, any treatment of In.
tested fields is precIuded Where the
wheat is not followed by seeding to
other corps, the fields should be pIow-
ed as soon as the wheat is harvested
This kills the worms by destroying
their food supply and preventing them
from preparing suitable sleeping quar-
ters for the winter.
A thorough preparation of corn land
and liberal use of barnyard manure
