GROWING RATIoNs FOR CALF
In Feeding Young Dairy Animals Ma
terial Supplied Must Be Flesh i,
Buildiny-Salt Is Needed.

"There are two things to remember
In feeding dairy calves" says E. A.
Hanson, dairy specialist with the agri-
cultural extension division of the Uni
versity of Minnesota. "The feed must
make them grow and mast supply
flesh-building material so they will be
in good condition.
Growing feeds, he says, consist of
skim milk, clover hay, oats, bran and
oil meal. The fattening feeds are
corn, barley and oil meal. For calves
under six months old in good condi-
tion and having soft, mellow hide
a mixture Of 30 poupds ground corn,
~ pounds ground oats, 30 pounds
bran and 10 pounds oil meal, fed three
to five pounds daily, is recommended
by Mr.. Hanson. A mixture Of 80
pounds ground corn. 20 pounds ground
barley, 40 pounds ground oats and 10
pounds oil meal, also fed at the rate
Of from three to five pounds a day, is
advised for calves in poor condition.
"Salt improves the calf's appetite.
so keep box with clean salt in shell
tered place where the calf may eat Of
1t freely" Mr.. Hanson advises. "Pro-
vide all the good clover or alfalfa hay
the calf will eat up clean. Never al
low the calves or yearlings to run with
the herd"

EASY AND SURE WAY TO
SELECT TOMATO SEED

The tomato is one of the crops for
which it often pays the farmer to save
his own seed, especially when a re-
markably early or good kind of tomato
is noticed.
"a common way of saving tomato
seed is to squeeze tho seeds out on u
piece of paper to dry" said A. f.
Yeager, horticulturist at the N. D. A. G.
"Seeds saved in this manner are all
right and will grow but it is an un-
desirable method because it is rather
messy and the seeds will have pulp and
paper clinging to them.
The best way to save tomato seed is
to pick the tomatoes good and ripe
and squeeze the seeds into a glass tum-
bier with tine juice and allow them to
stand in a warm place for three or
more days. BY this time fermentation
will have taken place. Fermentation
separates the pulp from the seeds and
at this time the contents of the glass
can be stirred up and the seeds will
settle to the bottom so that the juice
and pulp can be poured off. Fill the
glass with water several times, stir,
and pour off. This process will give
tomato seed just as clean as the best
that can be bought.

A good homemade self-feeder for
poultry reported to the United States
Department Of Agriculture by the
county extension agent of Knox coun-
ty, Indiana, is one made of an old
mower wheel. barrel with both ends
knocked out. IN old washtub, and
small platform of rough boards. The
wheel is first laid en- the platform. The
barrel is then placed on the wheel,
filled with dry mash, and the tub
turned over the top of it for a cover. A
barrel should be used which leaves
just enough space between its edge
and the rim of the mower wheel to al
low room to feed. This prevents the
feed from being scratched outside the
rim.

small loss in power cuts down the
amount of work done.
In the case of the power-driven ma
chine, any disorder calls for greater
power to operate 1t. The horses or
the machine furnishing the power
work harder and approximately the
same results are accomplished. Hence
1t Is much easier to overlook slight
indisposition on the part Of power
consuming machine than on the part
OF the power producer.
If any part through which power Is
transmitted is loose, it may cause a
reduction of power. The tractor op-
orator should examine his machine
thoroughly every week or ten days to
prevent such loss. A bolt in the crank
case is loose, oil is lost. The adjust
ment Of valve stem loosens, the
valve Is out Of proper time and the
cylinder does not give full power.
The clutch is not adjusted to take
hold evenly. Slippage here causes
loss of power. Similar leaks may de-
velop in the fuel system and the igni-
tion system. Any Of these cause heavy
drains on the power. Usually they
can be quickly repaired If attended to
early. Left too long, they may re-
suit in breakdown involving a larger

ALANCE IS ALL IN FAVOR OF
DAIRY|NC FOR STEADY PROFIT

Jump back to wheat farming with a
bitter impression of dairying.
Men not regularly engaged in this
type of farming. attracted by the good
prices of dairy products and the
steady income, buy dairy cows or
start milking such cows as they may
already have. From the number who
start dairying at such times many will
continue, but at the end of few
months there will be number who,
because their cows do not produce
profitably and the wheat crop looks
like 80 bushel crop, will give up
dairying.
This latter class never will succeed
In dairying and it is better if these
kind of farmers are discouraged from
entering the dairy business, as their
efforts will always end in disappoint-
ment. This is important because of
the bad impression such men will get
and pass on Of the dairy business.
Many cows are brought into milk
ing herds at such times as these
whose qualifications as dairy cows ex.
tend no further than their ability to
raise their own calves. Two weeks
after calving they may show large
udders and have many Of the indica-
tions of good milker, but at the end

Such cows cannot be profitable. The
man who buys must make sure that
the cows he buys are not in this class.

 CROW NARS CLAM

Ravens Here Can Learn a Lot From Their Festive Cousins on
 Hoods Canal.

Speaking of swine culture and it's possible profits in and around CordoYa, Jules Dahlager told today how the edu- cated crows on Hoods canal make monkey out of the pig during the clam season.
 Through sampling of scraps from their masters, table, the pigs have learned of the delectable quality of the razor clam. They dig industriously for them. The crow, wisest of birds and possessing sense of humor, not caring to work or to get his feet wet, stands around and watches the pig dig up a fat clam. The pig (being hog gish) usually muffs the clam and drops it once or twice. MT. Crow darts in and picks it up, then perches himself upon the pigs back and de- yours it. MT Dahlager vouches for the truth of the story. He quotes a disgruntled pig as saying:

Don't Spoil Your Child's
Hair By Washing 1t

When you wash your cnild's hair
be careful what you use. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali. which is very injurious,
as it dries the scalp and makes the
hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo. for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything else
all to pieces.
Two or three teaspoonfuls of Null
sified in a cup or glass with little
warm water Is all that is required.
Simply moisten the hair with water,
and rub it in. 1t makes an abund-
ance OF rich, creamy lather. cleanses
thoroughly. and rinses out easily.
The hair dries quickly and evenly,
and is soft, fresh looking, bright,
fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Be-
sides, 1t loosens and takes out every
particle Of dust, dirt and dandruff.
You can get Mulsifed at any drug
store. and few ounces will last
every one in the family for months.
Be sure your drugRiet gives you Null
-itted.
