Farm Bureau.

In weaving a calf thai is obtaining
two gallons. or 16 pounds. OF milk
per day. the amount should be re-
duced a pint. or one pound. per day
Following the weaving Period the
calf will not gain very much in
weight until il is consuming greater
amounts OF the grain mixture and
hay. At the age of six or eight
months the calf will be as thrifty
as a calf which has had milk to six
months OF age.
Where skim milk is available. the
calf should be changed from a
whole milk TO skim milk diet when
approximately two weeks old, the
change being made gradually by
substituting skim milk for a portion
Of the whole milk. For example. a
calf receiving q gallon, or eight
pounds, OF whole milk per day
would receive S1A quarts. or seven
pounds. OF whole milk. and one pint
or pound of skim milk on the first
day OF the change from whole 70
skim. three quarts OF whole milk
and one quart of skim milk on the
second daE. and so on until the
change is completed and the calf
IS receiving skim milk alone. The
skim milk should be fed until the
calf is six or eight months old
The grain mixture generally con-
sists OF equal parts OF whole o.
ground oats. and cracked or ground
corn (cOrnmeaD plus a small por-
ton or some feed such as unseed
meal. Wheat bran may be substi-
tuted for the oats The reason for
adding the oilmeal is 10 increase the
available supply Of protein. the ma
terial from which the calf builds its
muscles, etc.
The hay or roughage should be
either alfalfa, clover or timothy. Al
fa.fa and clover are very palatable
and should be fed in limited guam
titles because of the tendency to
'scour" The calf Hay contains the
essential mineral matter used in
building homes
Silage may be fed 10 the calf
when il IS three weeks old.

The Cultivation Of
Drug Plants Is Not
Profitable in State

A question frequently received by
the Purdue University Agriculture
Experiment Station is, Can l raise
medicinal or drug plants as a profit
able side line and, if so. what
species shall | specialize i'm"
According to 4. A Hansen. of the
Agricultural Extension department,
the cultivation Of drug plants in In
diana is not TO be recommended
except where conditions are exceT
tionally favorable. which is rarely
the case.
The widespread interest in the
cultivation of medicinal plants has
been created largely by the adver-
tisements Of dealers in seeds and
cuttings" said Mr.. Hansen. These
advertisements are frequently very
misleading in that they give the i'm
preston that the cultivation Of me-
dicinal plants offers a sure path to
large profits quickly realized.
Far from Offering quick and easy
profits, however, drug plant farming
is usually hard work. the profits are
frequently small and the risk by
disease anad other factors makes the
occupation a hazardous one. One OF
the biggest disadvantages is the lack
OF exact knowledge concerning sue
cessful methods OF growing me
dicina, plants, since few OF the
Agricultural Experiment: Stations
have done any work along this line.
A limiting factor in the rrofita bic
cultivation Of drug plants il the rel
atively small demand. which is
usually adequately taken care OF by
professional growers and impOrta-
zion from abroad Another disad-
vantage Is the large amount Of hand
labor necessary. For this reason. a
.arge part OF the supply Of drug
plants needed can best be imported
from abroad. since the American
farmer cannot compete with cheap
foreign labor. This is particularly
true since the war
There are. @ course. exceptions
70 the foregoing statements. as for
example the culture OF peppermint.
in which Indiana IS the leading pro-
Queer in the United States. if not in
the world. Again where a woodlot
exists upon the farm in which con-
ditions are favorable. the cultiva-
ton or ginseng. golden seal and
other medicinal plants may be at
tempted with a fair assurance OF
receiving reasonable profits. The
initial investment however, Is heavy
and one must be prepared 10 wait
running considerable danger in the

Ordinarily. il is the best TO leave

great for the amateur.

CALF FEEDING TESTS
STARTED AT PURDUE
Interesting Experiments Now
In Progress to Determine
Best Ration.
BY j. W. WILBUR,
Dairy Department. Purdue Univer-
sity Agricultural Experiment
Station

Many inquiries concerning the
feeding of SOY bean meal to calves
have been received at the Agricul-
tural Experiment Station at Purdue
Therefore, an experiment TO deter
mine the practicability and economy
OF feeding SOY bean meal IN place
OK hnseed meal IS under way at the
Purr - dairy farm. Twelve calves
divides into four groups OF three
calves per group. will be used in the
experiment.
one group viii receive the FOL
lowing ration:
Skim milk 10 six months Of age:
Not 10 exceed two gallons per day
land the following grain ration: 3
parts ground corn. parts ground
oats. 1 part linseed oilmeal. and al
falfa hay.
Another group viii receive the
same ration as-the one just given
with the exception OF substituting
one part OF SOY bean meal for one
part OF o4lmeal.
y third group Will sc fed as fol-
lows:
skim milk 20 90 days Of age. no.
10 exceed two gallons per day: :
parts ground corn. parts ground
oats, part linseed clinical and al
falfa hay.
a fourth group Will receive The
same ration as the third group.
with the exception OF substituting
one part OF SOY bean meal for one
part Of oilmeal.
The experiment VIII be OF rrac-
.ticai value 20 Indiana dairy farm
ers who are either selling whole
milk or cream. and should aid them
in reas.ng healthier and ;hriftier
calves.
Proper care. management and
feeding OF dairy calves IS Of great
Importance to the man interested
IN successful dairy farming. Many
Young dairy calves suffer greatly
from improper care and feeding.
and consequently. do not attain
their greatest growth and health
when they become mature. Good
practical calf rations may be fed
by every dairy farmer without in
I creasing the chores and without
much added expense
Dairy calves generally are raised
. in sections OF the country where
whole milk IS Sold and where skim
milk can not be obtained or where
the milk is separated and skim milk
+ j. available. When whole milk is
sold il Is advisable 10 wean the calf
when IL IS two or three months old.
ANY changes in the calf ration
should not be made too suddenly.
