1t is not necessary to spend much

poultry specialists of the United

One or two piano cases or large
packing box may often be made into
an acceptable home. But whatever
you build should be made dry and

WHITE SCOURS CAUSES LOSS
Disease Contracted by Way of Navel
or Mouth Soon After Birth
Tablets Worth Trying.

Many calves die of white scours or
pneumO-enteritis, which is deadly
germ disease born in the calf and con-
tracted by way of the navel or mouth
soon after birth. Medicinal treatment
usually fails, but triple sulpho-car-
bOlate tablets are well worth trying,
under direction of a qualified vet
erinarian. He should also immuniZe
each newborn calf with polyvalent
anti-dysenteric serum and likewise
use it in double doses should case
occur. Provide new clean pen for
newborn calves. At birth saturate
the stump of the navel of each calf
with tincture of iodine and then apply
powdered starch. Repeat the treat
ment daily until the navel is entirely
healed. Also cleanse the teats with
a saturated solution of bOric acid be-
fore the calf is allowed to suck for
the first time and daily for ten days
If 1t continues to nurse.

FIGURE OUT DAIRY RATIONS
of Value and Cost of Various
Feeds Available

A series Of 20 dairy feeding schools
were conducted during the spring
months in six New Hampshire cOun-
ties by county agents, working coop
eratively with the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and the State
Agricultural college Seven more are
planned. In carrying out these schools
lecturing and formal talk have been
practically eliminated and the dairy
men are seated at tables, where they
figure out for themselves the compo
sitiOn of various rations and compute
costs. Much enthusiasm has been
aroused
That the results are worth while is
indicated by the statement of Hook
sett farmer, who reported saving of
81 day, while another who attended
the school at Warner wrote the coun-
ty agent that he is now saving $36 a
month as a result of feeding a ra-
ton that he figured out there The
discussion provoked by the farmers
figuring these ratiOns gives a better
understanding of the value and cost
Of the various feeds available than
any amount of lecturing could posi-
bly, accomplish.

BETTER-ST0CK CAMPAIGN AID
Poster Issued by Department Of Aori-
culture illustrates Value of
Good Dairy Cows.

For the Children,s Sake" Is the
title of an attractive poster just issued
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, to be used in its better
stock campaign. The poster shows
two cows each surrounded by pictures
of healthy children. Good milk, it is
well known, is health-giving food for
children, but scrub cows do not give
enough milk to feed many children
One of the animals shown on the
poster is a scrub COW which produced
about five quarts of milk day
enough to supply the five children who
are grouped about her. The other COW
is purebred, which gave daily yield
Of 20 quarts-enough to feed the 20
children surrounding her.
"A good dairy cow" says the post
er, produces enough to feed about
twenty children quart of milk day.
An ordinary COW produces enough to
feed about five children quart day
Every quart of milk contains health
and a smile for some baby"

CORN ALONE FOR MILK cows
With Such Feeds as Bran, Meal
and legumes.

With well-filled corn cribs on many
farms. and relatively low prices now in
effect, the United States Department
of Agriculture believes it Is time to
correct the impression that corn is no,
good feed for milk cows. OF course,
corn cannot be fed alone, as its func-
ton is to supply heat, energy, and fat,
rather than such elements as make up
bone, muscle and the casein in milk.
But it can be used to advantage along
with such feeds as bran, linseed meal,
or cottonseed meal. Bran lightens and
helps to balance the ration. Alfalfa
or clover is usually fed with corn to
supply protein.

The dairy COW, of all farm animals,
is our most efficient machine for

centrated, high-priced food products,
and therefore is entitled to the best
of care. She is thin in flesh and nat

must, of course convert greater pro-

RULES FOR FEEDING SILAGE
Good Plan Is to Allow Three Pounds
of Material to Every 100 Pounds
Of Live Weight.

A rule for feeding s.iage to the
dairy cows is: Feed three pounds Of
silage for every 100 pounds Of live
weight A COW weighing 1000 pounds
should receive about 80 pounds. A
COW which weights over 1900 pounds
should receive about 45 pounds of
silage per day. Silags is usually fed
twice a day, In the morning and ave-
ming after milking.
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1921-11-11

as well as those which were fed On the
grain silage. Some of the big Holstein
cows ate as much as 80 pounds per
day. No unfavorable results could be
noticed in the favor of the milk. While
this experiment has not gone far
enough to reach definite conclusions, it
indicates that sunfiOwers may be con-
sidered good crop for silage In some
localities.

PRODUCING MILK FOR PROFIT

The way to make money out of the
production of milk, is to begin at

a workman in his employ week if
he is an Improbable producer, and
