CALVES FAVOR WHOLE GRAINS
Result Given of Recent Experiment
Conducted by Dairy Experts at
Iowa College

A recent experiment conducted by
the dairy husbandry department Of
Iowa state college shows that calves
prefer whole rather than ground
grains when fed on free choice.
Three calves between one and two
months of age were fed for two Pc
RODS of 30 days each. During the
first period practically no corn was
consumed, but in the second period
1OS pounds of whole corn and only
three-tenths pound Of cracked were
cleaned up. Although So and 6S
pounds of whole oats were eaten in
two periods, never more than one-half
pound of the ground oats was con-
sumed.

New Wireless Distress Call.

A novel wireless emergency device
by (which ships in distress can ring
alarm bells on other ships within wire
less range is reported by the Ameri-
can chamber of commerce in London.
The present wireless system OF com
munication requires that an operator
to hear a call must be on duty, Wear
Ing the usual telephone headpiece.
The new device is said to enable any
station or ship equipped with a spe-
cial automatic transmitter key to call
I'D any station or ship within range,
fitted with a corresponding receiver re-
lay, even if the operator is absent.
The calling up, according to the Amer
lean chamber, is effected by a bell
which starts ringing on the ships
called.
It is claimed that one of the most
important uses of the devices will be
to insure immediate and general at
tention to S. o. S. calls.

CONSERVING FEED FOR HENS
Don't Encourage a Lot Of Rats and
Mice by Permitting Them to Eat
Expensive Grain.

Make every kernel .of grain count
this year in feeding poultry. Don't
feed lot of rats and mice from the
feed bin. Keep the grain clean and
dry. Moldy grain is dangerous and
Improbable feed. Study to balance
the rations for the growing stock as
well as for the layers. Substitute as
much as possible the less expensive
grains for wheat. This may be done,
in part, without any damage to the
flock.

RATION FOR LITTLE CALVES
Mixture Of Oats, Corn and OiImeaI 10
ExceIlent-Too Much Water Can
not Be Supplied.

An excellent grain ration for little
calves is three parts of oats, one part
of corn and one part of oilmeal. Keep
the grain fresh. Do not spill milk in
it and have a sour Manager. Let the
calves have free access to fresh and
clean water, and also to salt. The
common idea that calves will drink too
much water is mistake. During the
first four months little calves should
not eat too much grain.

Constructive Side of Regulatory

Closer Cooperation Is Developing Be-

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Efforts are being made by the Bureau
Of Animal Industry, to point out the
constructive side of regulatory work
affecting quarantine, inspection, and
general interstate handling of live
stock. Disease eradication, the chief
of the bureau points out, is the basis
Of ample production and final
ANALYSIS of liberal consumption and
proper nutrition. If the livestock men
of the country had to contend with
pleuropneumonia, foot-and-mouth dis
ease, surra, rinderpest, and other
animal scourges on top of their present
problems, production certainly would
fall and consumption would be cur
tailed by reason of high prices neces-
sary to cover the risks of growing live
stock. Fortunately, the list of diseases
mentioned may be considered a prob
lem already solved. They do not exist
in the United States and the bureau
is on the alert to keep them out. The
bureau has also taken energetic steps
to check attempts at shipping diseased
stock interstate and has perfected its
regulations especially with regard t"
bovine tuberculosis.
Coupled with those efforts and to
acquaint stockmen with the cOnstruc-
tive side of the work, the department
has pointed out at frequent intervals
the purpose of the regulations. AS a
result closer cooperation is developing
between the public and the bureaus
inspectors and veterinarians-a cOndi-
ton helpful to the effectiveness of field
work.

Rape Is Best Crop.


Rape is the best crop that / know
to sow between the corn rows at the
last cultivation, says a writer in an
exchange. 1t is good producer, does
not stunt the corn to the extent that
the small grains do, and it is relished
by all kinds~of stock. The rape can
be sown just before the last cultiva-
ton at the rate Of about 70 to 81
pounds of seed per acre. 1t can either
be drilled with small one-horse drill
or better yet it can be sown broadcast.
In the latter case about 80 pounds Of
seed will be necessary.
Hairy vetch is not at all adapted to
sowing between the corn rows in this
manner, as it requires later planting,
is a winter cover crop and is generally
sown in September.
Soy beans or cOwpeas are all right
if the seed does not cost more than
S1.OO or $125 an acre, but if the seed
costs much more than this the growth
obtained will be entirely too small to
pay for the seed and the cost of the
labor involved. If these crops are
sown, about one-half TO one bushel of
seed is required to the acre, If 1t is
sown broadcast, and about 30 to 40
pounds if sown in drills 80 to SO inches
