the herd, but preferably not from any
that are nearly dry. Whole milk is
preferable for the first two weeks,
after which skim milk may be substi-
tuted, commencing with one pound q
day and increasing to two or four
pounds, depending on the vigor of the
calf No more skim milk should be
fed than the calf will drink readily.
In most cases at the end of the third
week the ration should be approx
mately one-half whole and one-haIf
separate milk.
At the beginning of the fourth week
from One-half to three-fourths of the
ration should be separated milk. Dur
ing the week the change should be con-
tinued until by the beginning of the
fifth week only separated milk is fed.
In specially vigorous calves the change
may be made a week earlier. After
this time separated milk may be fed
entirely, unless the calf is very deli
cate. The quantity fed can be gradu-
ally increased until 10 to 20 pounds
a day are given. If milk is very plen-
tiful, more may be fed, but otherwise
it will not be found economical.
The time that milk should be dis
continued depends upon its cost in re-
lation to the value of the calf, its
breed, size, vigOr, etc. The season In
which 1t reaches the age of six months.
and the other feeds available at that
time, must also be taken into consid-
Grafton. Six months Is probably a good
average age at which to wean calves
from milk. Where there is plenty of
skim milk available this time NAV be
heightened. When the best of hay and
silage and a good variety of grains are
available, the calf may be weaned ear
lier than when such feeds are lacking.
The season Of good, succulent pastur.
age presents the best possible condi.
ION for weaving the calf.

BEST DEVELOPMENT OF CALF

ment of Agriculture)
NO part Of dairy farming is more es-
sential than the proper feeding of
young calves. Likewise nothing is
more important for the best develop
ment of calves than a good supply Of
milk and skim milk in the ration. In
the past few years the surplus of these
products has been utilized as human
food in the form of condensed and
powdered milk and skim milk. Re-
ports recently received by the United
States Department of Agriculture, how
ever, point to a temporary surplus Of
these products during the flush season,
due to decreased export outlet. I'm
til this situation is adjusted, it would
seem advisable to utilize the surplus
milk and skim milk as feed for live
stock.
In raising dairy calves most dairy
men prefer that the calf remain with
the COW for the first 4S hours. If it
Is taken away then the COW will be
less nervous when she begins to be
MIXED again for commercial purposes
than if they are allowed to run to-
gether for long period.
1t is desirable that the calf be in a
thrifty, vigorous condition when it is
taught to drink. 1t may be left with
out food for II hours, at the end of
which time it will be hungry, and with
a little teaching will usually drink
milk from the pail. Warm, fresh milk
from the mother should be put in a
clean pail and held near the floor in
front of the calf, which will generally
begin to nose about the pail. Once 1t
gets a taste of milk, it will usually
drink without further trouble. Some
times, however more vigorous meas
ures must be taken.
The quantity of milk fed to a calf
depends upon it's size and age, and to
some extent on the kind and condition
of the feed, but experiments by the
Department of Agriculture indicate
that about one pound a day should
be fed for every ten pounds weight of
the calf at birth. Many beginners
make the mistake of letting the calf
have as much milk as it wants. This
would be all right if the calf were fed |
every two or three hours, as when it
runs with the COW, but as it is i'm
practicable ordinarily to feed more
than two or three times a day, it is
best to keep the quantity well below
the capacity of the calf and not risk |
overlooking.
For the first four days milk from the
dam should be fed. After this the
milk may be from any COW or cows in

other counties or states. In some com
muntties an active breeder had placed
purebred sires on the farms of many
neighbOrs. For the most part farmers
have failed to appreciate the advan-
tages of using purebred sire to in

FEW EYES REALLY NORMAL
Just as One Is Right or Left-Handed,
So 1t Is With the Organs
of Vision.

Very few people, realize that they
are as much right-eyed or left-eyed
as they are right or left-handed.
Sit down in a chair and fix your at
tention on some subject on the other
side of the room. Quickly hold your
finger up right in front Of the object,
and instantly shut your eyes. Then
without moving your head or your
finger open your eyes one at a time.
If, when you open your right eye, you
find your finger directly in front of
the object, you are right-eyed. In
that case you will find your finger
very much to the right of the object
when you open your left eye.
If you are right-handed you will
most probably find that you are right
eyed.
This is due to the fact that Of the
two halves of your brain one is slight
ly more developed than the other. And
the organs and limbs on that side of
your body which is controlled by the
more developed half are able to carry
out your wishes more easily and
quickly than those of the other side.

CITY COIN FOR
PUBLIC BODIES
Council Will Consider Re.
quests for Financial Aid to
Three Organizations.

Financial aid would be extended by the
city to three quasi-public institutions by
ordinances to be introduced in the city
council at the regular meeting Monday
evening.
One ordinance appropriates $500 to
the city finance department for the use
Of the committee of the Marion County
Council of the American Legion in charge
of the Fourth of July celebration at the
State fair grounds. Another appropriates
$1,000 for the use of the citizens fire pre-
vention committee and another $3,0S520 to
the Art Association Of Indianapolis.
Request for the Fourth of July cele-
bration appropriation was made on city
officials by Roy Sahm, Ed Jackson, Secre-
tery of State, and Evans Woollen Jr.,
representing the American Legion. Frank
C. Jordan, chairman of the fire proven
tion movement, is asking for the fire
prevention appropriation and Evans
Woollen Sr. is acting for the Art Asso-
citation of indianapolis in its negotiations
with the city.
The art appropriation represents con-
summation Of an agreement between the
city and the association, which operates
tie John Heron Art Institute, in the con-
.-nTersy over the amount the city owes.
, - dtll last year the city mas been paying
the association around $1,000 per year,
which was equal to the proceeds of levy
of II cent per 800 of taxables. The
board Of school commissioners and the
city were hound by law to make such
a payment. When the new tax law was
passed In 1919 both the school and civil
city contended chat the provision for this
payment on the basis of the proceeds
from an imaginary levy was wiped out.
The art association contended that the
old law stood and that 1t should re-
ceive what would amount to the pro-
ceeds from a Il cent levy on the greatly
increased assessed valuation caused by
the new tax la-y. 1t was contended that
the city and the school city owed tho
art association around around $4,000
each.
The school board several months ago
reached an agreement with the associa
ton to pay $4,000 per year in 1920,
1921 and 1922. The city included in its
budget this year an appropriation Of
$6914.S0 to the art association Corpora
ton Counsel Samuel Ashby is drawing
a contract between the association and
the city whereby the city agrees to pay
SO 0S5.20 more, making the total $4,000
this year and to continue like payments
until and including 1922 This contract
will be sent TO the council for ratihca-
tion along with the appropriation Ordi-
