INVESTIGATIONS.


When beefsteak scared to forty cents
he figures seemed high
That sundry governmental gents
Were told to find out why
And so they got expert advice
And deep conclusions drew
But ere they turned them in, the price
Had gone to forty-two.
So that report was pigeonholed.
And figures were adduced
Their purpose being to uphold
The men who made the boost.
But ere the learned gentlemen
Their facts could demonstrate,
The price of steak went up again
This time to forty eight.
Again the governmental board
Undaunted sought to make
1t plain that people could afford
A forty-eight cent steak.
But while they still were in the throes
OF weighty arguments
The price of steak once more arose
10 hfty-seven cents.
And still investigators try
With all their little might
o turn up facts that justify
he beefsteak's skyward flight
Zach new report excels the last
But that don't help a bit.
For still beefsteak goes up so fast
They can't catch up with i'll

GRAIN MIXTURES FOR CALVES
Wheat Bran Is ReIished by Young AMI
mails and Corn Has Excellent
Physiological Effect.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
When the calf is in its second week
1t should begin to receive grain, and
when one month old It should eat
about half a pound a day. After this
time the quantity OF grain may be
gradually increased feeding all that
the calf win eat until three pounds q
day Is reached, probably during the
third month. Grain fed to supplement
separated milk should never be mixed
with the milk. II is questionable
whether the preparation Of grain in
any way, such as soaking or boiling, is
advisable under most circumstances.
Wheat bran is eaten readily by
young calves Corn has an excellent
physiological effect and to a great ex-
tent may take the place of fat removed
from skim or separated milk. Expert
ments tend to show that corn fed TO
calves should be cracked rather than
finely ground. Ground oats are good
in grain mixtures when available, but
in many cases cost much more per unit
of feed than corn and bran. The fol-
lowing grain mixtures are recommend
ed by dairy specialists of the United
States department of agriculture:
l. Three parts cracked corn and one
part wheat bran.
2. Three parts cracked corn. one
part wheat bran and one part ground
oats.
3. Three parts cracked corn, one
part wheat bran, one part ground oats,
and one part linseed meal.
4. Five parts cracked corn, one part
wheat bran, one part ground oats, and
one part blood meal.
5. Oats, ground.
Glover hay, alfalfa hay. or the most
palatable roughage available should be
given the calf after the second week.
