1.-THE perennial fuel problem will new
er be solved until the automobile indus
try and the petroleum industry get to-
gether In close and harmonious COOP
eration." says Mark L. Requa, general
director Of the oil division of the Unit
ed States fuel administration, In an
interview. which appears in Motor. the
national magazine of motoring.
"The motor fuel problem Is not only
a possibility Of the future" cOntin-
ues Mr.. Requa, but even an actuality
Of the present. as will be understood
by anyone who takes the trouble to
make ever the most cursory examina-
ton of the situation. In 1912 our pro-
duction Of petroleum was 222, 1886 .O44
barrels Of AZ gallons. In 1915 the out
put Of this basic producer of motor
fuel was 800. 787. 1853 barrels. an In
crease in four years Of less than 80
per cent. On the other hand, In 1912
there were about 100000 motor We
hicles In the country. while In 1916 the
motor population Of the United States
had risen to 3,541. 1913. This represents
an increase Of over 300 per cent In four
years. With n side Of an equation
growing less than 80 per cent and the
other side increasing more than 800
per cent, the ultimate situation Is not
hard to fOreshadOw.
Engine Uses Less OH.
II am not an automobile engineer.
so I cannot speak from personal knOwl-
edge, but I have been Informed that 1t
Is possible to design internal cOmbus-
ton engines which will much
less fuel per mile than is now being
consumed, and Of a much inferior quail
ity. If this is a fact and the autOmo-
bile industry faces the situation in CO.
operation with the oil men to effect
this saving. while these latter are de.
voting their best effort to increasing
production, 1t would seem that we
might cut enough off each end Of our
problem to solve 1t.
1--WE seem to be only at the begin
ming Of the gasoline era a few years
ago gasoline was a wasted by-product;
today 1t is the most important product
Of petroleum, amounting to almost 80
per cent Of the total value of petroleum
products. With the record of the past
as a guide, 1t would seem that the two
great industries SC interdependent up
on each other should cooperate In
bringing about the most efficient con-
sumption Of gasoline and the most in
telligent understanding of each others

ment of the rooms is Influenced by
the needs of the family and individ-

Selecting materials, however, Is a mat

simple reason that there will be a

Who is to blame for the staggering
waste Of milk bottles In the United
States-a waste amounting to millions
of these containers annually, which
adds to the cost of distribution. is a
factor In the price Of milk, and In the
end is paid for by consumers? To

The average milk bottle Is short

before it Is broken or lost, the special
lists found. For every consumer who
has a quart Of milk delivered at the
door each day, the dealer In the
course Of a year has to supply 20 new
bottles. The investigation, conducted
in SO cities. shows that the average
milk dealer buys 1860 new bottles a
month. and the large dealers buy more

GRAIN MIXTURE TO
FEED YOUNG CALVES
When One Month Old Quantity
May Be Gradually Increased.
Experiments Tend to Show That Corn
Should Be Cracked Rather Than
Finely Ground-Use Corn
In Feeding Alfalfa.

PREPARED by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
When the calf Is in It's second week
1t should begin to receive grain, and
when one month old 1t should eat
about half a pound n day. After this
time the quantity Of grain may be
gradually increased. feeding all that
the calf will eat until three pounds a
day Is reached, probably during the
third month. Grain fed to supplement
separated milk should never be mixed
with the milk. 1t 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 physiO-
logical effect and to a great extent
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
following grain mixtures are recon-
mended by dairy specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture:
() Three parts cracked corn and
one part wheat bran.
(2) Three parts cracked corn. n
part wheat bran. and n part ground
oats.
(3) Three parts cracked corn. n
part wheat bran, n part ground oats.
and one part linseed meal.
az Five parts cracked corn, one
part wheat bran, one part ground oats.
and one part blood meal.
90 Oats, ground.
Glover hay, alfalfa hay. or the most
palatable roughage available should be
given the calf after the second week.
Alfalfa is likely to cause scOurs, and
should be fed sparingly at first and
increased only after the calf gets ac-
customed to it. At drst hay shorrld
be furnished only a handful at n time,
and be placed so that it cannot be
soiled. For the first six months, at
least, the calf should receive all the
roughage of good qualify that it will
eat IN clean. When the calf has access
to good pasture during the first six
months, it need not receive other
rouchase. 1t is not advisable. how
ever, to have the calf under two
months of age on pasture in the early
spring.

The locomotive engineer frequently

of fabrication permits excessive fric-
ton, and friction generates heat. Any
part which is discovered to be too

LIVESTOCK


No kind of silage should be con-
sidered as a sole ration for sheep.
Cottonseed meal has been recog-
nized for many years as "a most ex-
cellent feed for beef cattle.
Silage Is almost a necessity for win.
ter feeding and winter feeding is Inn
portant for profitable farming.
Patience may be required to get a
colt to behave well in harness, but a
good draft horse will be the result.
Although cows milk is not so rich
IN sugar or fat as sow's milk, il makes
a fair substitute for pigx when the
mother dies.
The easlest way to iehorn Is to
paint the buttons Of the calf as soon
as they can be felt through the skin,
with caustic potash.
Where farmers have stock enough TO
warrant 1t. many have two silos, one
for winter feeding and a smaller one
for summer feeding.
A fat SOW cannot care for a lit
ter of pigs to the best advantage due
to her awk~wardness. but a poor sow
is much worse than a fat one.
Without question a poor SOW will
give birth to small. poor. runty pigs
and will not give a sufficient supply of
milk to nourish the little ones.
Hogs destined for market ordinarily
come along splendidly when put on
self-feeders of corn and tank1ge as
o as they are old enough to eat.
Sheep are the most profitable of
any kind of stock. One reason for
their value is that they keep the farm
cleaner as regards weeds than ans
other stock.
