CALF FED TO WEAVING TIME
Quite Simple Matter II Mother Has
Sufficient Milk to Neurish Young
ster Properly.

The feeding Of q beef calf from
birth until 1t is weaned IL q very sim
pie matter If its mother gives milk
enough to nourish it properly. The
principal part Of the calf's ration,
therefore, may be cheaply and safely
provided by giving its mother the
proper feeds for the production Of
milk. Do not feed the COW too heavily
on grain soon after she has dropped
the calf. While 1t is important that
the calf have plenty Of milk at all
times, 1t should never have too much,
especially soon after birth. The fol-
lowing suggestions are designed par
hcularly for select animals chosen es-
pecially for breeding purposes, says
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture.
A calf dropped in the fall or win
ter probably will do better If kept sep
arated from its mother and allowed to
suck night and morning. In summer
it should be provided with a lot for
exercise and pasture in the daytime,
and during the winter with we'll
bedded box stall at night. When the
calf is from four to six weeks old 1t Is
good plan to bring it from the lot
early In the morning, allow 1t to suck,
then take 1t to the pen or stall to be
fed some grain. 1t should also be
sucked at night before grain is fed,
then taken out to the grass lot or be
fed little hay in the stall. To be
kept contented when away from its
mother calf should run with other
calves. A bull calf should be separated
from the heifers at the age of three
or four months. II the calf is dropped
late In winter or spring it may be
more convenient to allow 1t to run
with its dam for several months on
pasture.
Since milk is natures food for the
calf It would be reasonable to suppose
that milk alone is sufficient feed for
it. In all cases, however, it should be
provided with little grain in addition
to milk. If both the COW and the calf
have good pasture and the COW is CIV
ing milk enough. the calf will grow to
weaving age In good condition with
less grain than otherwise would be
needed. Frequently, however, the
amounts of both pasture and milk are
somewhat limited. Then the feeding
of more grain is absolutely essential
for best results.
When from four to six weeks old a
calf may be taught to eat grain. This
may be done by feeding it in a creep

Development OF GOOD COWS
Typical Letter From Dairyman Aiding
in "Better Sires-Better Stock"
Campaign.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
To Illustrate how good herd of cat
tie may be developed from n small be-
ginning, the United States Department
Of Agriculture makes public the follow
ing letter from farmer near Nokes-
vile, Va. This letter is typical of
many contributed by practical farmers
aiding in the Better Sires-Better
Stock" campaign.
II am farmer and dairyman.
milk IS cows and raise about two
calves year SO as to be able to Gull
my herd two cows year and replace
with young calves.
IT started with common grades of
all kinds. but they were good ones.
Then | began using my neighbours
purebred bull, and kept the best heif-
ers, But this was slow progress, SO
bought six grade Holstein heifers and
also a purebred bull. Then I added
two purebred cows.
~ now find ready sale for stock
! wish to sell. even for my. grades.
When one uses a good bull and good
cows, well cared for. he does not have
any scrub calves"
The letter points out clearly how 1t
is possible for one to develop gradu-
ally into breeder of purebred and
high-grade live stock.

GOOD APPEARANCE PAID.

A good looking farm is an asset to
any farmer. 1t matters little whether
the place is rented or farmed by the
owner. In either case the advantage is
all with the man with the wei kept
place. Perhaps the reason that this
fact is most evident is that the ener
getic hustler who has regard for his
bank account has regard for his home
and surroundings as well. Be that as
it may, the fact remains that the man
with good looking buildings kept well
painted, surrounded by well kept
ground and with a well kept lawn
about the home has a better chance to
get credit from his banker than the mai
who lacks all these things. A story to
the point was told by southern Iowa
banker recently. ga young farmer
came into the bank last week to see
about loan. / didn't know him, but
] told him l would see what / could
do this week. He had a good idea of
what he wanted and why, but ! wanted
to see his place and just see for MYSELF
if he keeps up the odds and ends of his
business right. Drove out past his
place Sunday and say, want to tell
you he got the money on the looks of
his farm. Ten years from now he will
have the best looking place on his road
and that is worth lot.''

HYoIEN1o LIVING ONLY
TUBERcuLos1s CURE.

DENVER, March Pin view Of the
widespread interest Of the press in re.
gard to number Of so-called cures for
Tuberculosis which are being announced
from various European capitals, such
IS London, Paris, Rome, Geneva and
elsewhere, the Colorado Tuberculosis
Association sends out the following
statement from Dr.. Hatfield.
''No cure for tuberculosis has ~ yet
been discovered" says Dr.. Charles J.
Hatfield, managing director Of the Ma
tional Tdberculois Association, in an
inAsrview given out today.
"Ever since the year 1889, when
Robert Koch discovered the tubercie
bacillus as the specific cause of tuber-
culosis, men and women all over the
world have endeavored to ind cure
for this disease" says DR.. Hatfield.
$50 far as know, no specific remedy
OF cure for the disease has been found.
"There have been many honest in
vestigators who have spent their lives
in search for this remedy. There have
been others who, through mistaken
judgment, have thought that they had
discovered cure for tuberculosis. There
have been still others who have delib-
erately set out to play upon the victims
Of tuberculosis by offering them as
cure what is in no sense a specific rem
edy for the disease. In condemnation
of this last group too much cannot be
said. They not only cheat the consump-
tive out of his money, but in most in
stances they cheat him out of chance
to live.
"The only known cure for the disease
consists in hygienic living, that is, in
rest, fresh air, good food, combined
with good medical treatment and pro-
per mental attitude on the part of the
patient. Thousands of men and women
are today walking our streets and do
ing their normal work in life who have
been cured Of tuberculosis by this
method.
'Tr cure tuberculosis by any other
means requires first of all that the tu-
becle bacillus embedded in the tissues
of the body be killed in the body, or
that they be made innocuous; and sec
ond, that in accomplishing these ends,
the tissues of the body must remain un-
injured and the LESSONS caused by the
tubercle bacilh be healed.
"No serum, vaccine, drug, gas inhal-
ant or other method Of treatment has
yet been devised that will accomplish
these ends. 1 sincerely hope that some
day some such specific method may be
found''

GIVE THE DAIRY COW SALT.

Salt is required by all animals. The
dairy COW requires an ounce or more
day, say specialists of the United States

should be given all she needs, she should
not be forced to take more than she
wants. It is best, therefore, to give
only a small quantity of the feed and
