foundation, stock thrive best of all on
the milk of the dams. They should
of course, be taught to eat early in &C.
cordance with the plan you have al
ready instituted. Induce them to eat
as much grain as possible, provided
they are not allowed to gorge them
selves and so upset the digestive organs
Induce them also to eat a little green
food provided either through suitable
pastures or through soiling crops. This
will help to keep the system in good
condition and will enable them to digest
and assimilate large quantities of rich
grass, thereby stimulating rapid growth
and development, the end which yoI
have in view.

Your heifer has probably not made
complete recovery from the effects of
calving and what she needs is careful
treatment for some days. If there are
evidences of constipation we suggest
that you give her a purgative. Various
things may be used for this purpose but
there is probably nothing cheaper or
more effective than EPSON salts given
in the form of a drench at the rate of
say / and is pounds in lukewarm water.
The amount of salts to be used should
be adjusted to the size of the animal.
For a small animal a pound will be
sufficient. For large animal a pound
and half will be better.
AS to the udder, we suggest that you
battle it three times a day with water
just as hot as the hands can bear.
Then we would rub it very thoroughly
with vaseline. lard or camphor oil.
Something should be used to coat the
outside with oil and prevent it from
chafng and also tend to soften it up.
Very gentle and persistent kneading and
rubbing is one of the most important
aids you could employ to cure the baked
udder of which you complain. The 9TH
er affected parts of the body might be
treated In the same way.
AS for the sore mouth that is prob
ably due to a bad case of indigestion or
general arrangement of the system.
This can be helped by giving doses Of
oil and feeding carefully. There is
nothing better for this purpose than
warm mashes made from wheat bran.
Simply pour warm water over the bran
and allow it to cool sufficiently for your
COW to eat it readily. l would cut out
the use of cotton seed meal and bulls
for a week or ten days and provide your
COW with some green feed also a suit

Chufas may be planted in your sec
ton OF the state anywhere from April
to June. Early planting is probably
the most desirable. The crop is usu-
ally natured by September 10. 1t can
then be left In the ground for several
months. If hogs are turned in they
will do their own harvesting. This is
a crop of considerable value, especially
Tor the southern part OF the state. Great
claims are made for the virtues OF chu-
fas as a fattening crop for hogs These
are probably oYerstated at times, still
il is an important and promising crop
for the purpose in mind. Experiments
have been made in various states with
this crop and it is recommended for
the maintenance of hogs during the
fall months by the Alabama, Florida,
Arkansas and Louisiana stations On
good land it yields freely, the outturn
being anywhere from 100 bushels per
acre and upwards. Any land which is
well adapted for the growth of corn
cotton, potatoes, or peanuts will pro-
duce this crop satisfactorily. Plant
in rs to 3-foot rows, dropping the
seed about one foot apart in the row
and covering to a depth of two inches
II will require about 1.5 pecks Of seed
TO plant an acre. If some supplemental
grain is fed to hogs when they are
grazing on chufas they will make bet
ter and more uniform gains and will
probably come out to better advan-
tage. A little corn, or the equivalent
of a pound or two a day is probably the
best to use.
Chufas could, of course be planted
in combination with other crops If le-
sired. That is, 1t may be planted IN
the middle of corn rows in which velvet
beans are planted. In other words, they
could be used to replace peanuts to a
certain extent. 1t would appear that d
more extensive cultivation in Georgia
by those engaged in the raising Of hogs
would prove profitable.

We have grown several varieties of
kaffir corn here on the college farm for
a number of years past. Most of them
have done quite well and 1t would
probably be unfair to say that any one
was greatly superior to the other I
believe, however, that we prefer the
white kaffir corn for silage purposes
to any other strain we have used. KAT
fir corn, as you know, is one of the
non-saccharine sorghums which are
good drought resisters and can there
fore be grown 10 advantage in Georgia
during the warmer summer months. We
found this variety to be well covered
with foliage and capable of rapid
growth and development under favor
able conditions. 1t normally attainS
about the same size as our sweet or
saccharine corghums. 1t produces a well
developed seed head of about the same
size and shape as sorghum. We have
found the growth of Red Head sorghum,
saccharine, in alternate rows with
kaffir corn, u non-saccharine, presents
many advantages in the make of silage.
For instance. one variety, is much drier
than the other and hence the blending of
the juice is an advantage.
These two crops, when grown togeth-
er, produce a larger tonnage than corn
and sorghum would and while seasons of
drought may occur, whenever favorable
weather conditions develop both crops
grow off vigorously again so that one
can almost certainly count on a good
yield. We have fed silage with salts
faction for several years past.

To destroy lice on goats you should
proceed as follows: Secure any one OF
the coal tar dips and make a solution
of one part to fifty parts of water, or
In very bad cases one part to thirty
parts OF water. Secure any suitable vat
or container large enough to thoroughly
immense the goats therein, even for
brief period of time. This should ef-
fectively kill the lice. The treatment,
however, should be repeated In eight
days Any acid solution, as you no
doubt know, is a good thing to use for
the destruction of the nits. Vinegar
dissolved at the rate of one pint to a
uuart of water is excellent for this
purpose. A tobacco infusion might also
be used two to three ounces being boiled
in a quart of water. Apply rather
sparingly, however, as it is likely to
nauseate the animal. Remember that
the quarters occupied should be treated
also Use this solution for this purpose
one part to thirty parts water. All
rreyices and cracks should be thorough
ly SPRAYED and the grounds as we'll. The
litter should also be gathered out OF any
mems or yards in which the goats may
have been kept and destroyed by burn
ing.
Sheep may be sheared at any time
from now on. Probably the first or
June is a good time. There is no
reason why they should have any special
treatment after being clipped. They
should, of course, be we'll fed and cared
for so as to keep them in good healthy
and vigorous condition and induce the
rapid development of a new growth of
wool.

You were using an excellent grain
ration TO supplement the milk your
Hereford calves were obtaining from
their dams and I am sure IT must have
been giving you good results. OBJ
serve you state that wheat bran has
now disappeared from the market and
that you are, therefore, forced to make
n charge. I suggest that you feed
peanut meal in place of the wheat
bran. This is a very fine food, not
only r.ch in protein but fat, easily di-
Cested and wholesome. 1t will make an
admirable addition to the diet for calves
of the character you describe and when
you combine your concentrates in the
proportion of one-third corn, one-third
oats and one-third peanut meal you
will have provided as fine a grain ra-
ton as the country affords. In case
YOU find it impossible to obtain peanut
meal, you can use an equal amount II
velvet bean meal. This meal, however.
therefore, we do not regard II as so
well suited TO the needs of growing
calves. which require not only a con-
siderable amount of vitamines, which
they get from the milk, but large guam
titles Of protein and fat, flesh and en-
ergy producers respectively. The dams
should be literally fed for the purpose
you have in mind and such grain ra-
ton as has been suggested will be suit
able for them. Give them supplement
tai green foods if the pastures become
short and thus help to induce q good
flow Of milk and maintain it. Calv3s
