AVERAGE WEIGHT OF CALVES
Figures Secured From Dairy Herds OF
University Of illlnois-Factors
That Influence.

A very well-bred Holstein bull calf
weighing 112 pounds was recently
dropped at the Kansas state agricul-
tural college farm at Manhattan. Most
of the dairy infants, however, weigh
considerably less than this Kansas
heavyweight.
In the dairy herds of the University
Of Illinois the average weights of the
calves of the various breeds at birth
have been as follows: Holstein male.
90 lbs. female, IS lbs. Ayrshire male.
III; female, IA; Guernsey male. 20;
female. 6S.S; Jersey male. 62.4; fe-
male. 59.7 lbs.
II is n good practice to note and
record the approximate weights Of
calves at birth. because this informa-
ton is valuable in appOrtioning milk
to the young animals. The 112-pound
Kansas giant, for instance. could
handle n feeding OF milk that would
put n Jersey calf OF average weight
In line for castor oil.
Besides breed and sire, heredity and
the age. size and physical condition
OF the dam influence birth weights.

REAR TIRE WILL

Severe Strain Can Be Reduced
by Changing About From
Time to Time.
pUNCTURE TROUBLE IS LESS
Time, Labor and Money Can Be Saved
to Owner of Car by Following Out
Rotation System Which Has
Been Well Tested.

If he will change tires around in the
manner described below, a motorist
can make them last far beyond the
usual mileage. This is done by reduc-
ing the strain on the tires as they wear
away so that the newest tire is placed
at the point of greatest strain and the
oldest n at the point where the
strain is least.
1t Is evident, ven TO a casual OBJ
server, that the rear tires wear out
rapidly than those of h front
wheels. This Is due to the strain of
driving through the rear wheels, let
ting in the clutch, applying the brakes,
use of chains, skidding and so on. Now
comparing the right side of the car
with the left, the tires on the right
wheels will YEA faster. The left
wheels run along the smooth part of
the road where the ridges and ruts are
all beaten down by the traffic. But
near the edge the road is rough, there
are more ruts and small stones. and

sometimes these wheels must leave the
road altogether. There is more likeli-
hood of meeting broken glass, metal,
and other objects on this side. Then
there is more weight on these wheels
because the car is tipped more TO that
side on account of the crown OF the
road. Therefore II may be stated as a
general principle that the rear tires
e more than the front ones and the
right ones more than the left.
Starting with all new tires II will be
