SUCCESSFUL HEALTH
CAMPAIGN BY BUREAU
Much Good Accomplished in In
creasing Amount Of Milk Con-
sumed by Children.

Greene County, Iowa, has attracted
considerable attention with success
full health campaign recently put on
through the cooperation Of the extern
sion service, Ames, and the local farm
bureau organization.
County Agent, c. w. Davis. In speak
ing of the work. says
I'VE are receiving many encourag-
ing reports since the campaign of the
good which Ii has done In increasing
the consumption of milk on the part
of school children. II has also done a
great deal OF good In bringing the mat
ter of care Of milk to the attention Of
people, especially In regard to test
ing of cows which are producing the
milk. This Is one Of the most impor-
tant results Of such campaign, for
after all the protection of the children
against the use of infected milk Is Of
greatest importance.
"A summary Of the work shows that
members Of the committees and work.
ers Travelled 715 miles. that IS talks
were given and that 1853 people were
reached. The number OF pieces of lit
erature distributed Is 5000. Plays

such plays sometime during the winter

PROPER RATION FOR CALVES
Ground Oats and Oil Meal Are Fa-
vored In Small Amounts at Start
Gradually Increasing.

A good grain ration for the calves
will be ground oats-seven or eight
pounds to one pound of oil meal. For
q few days feed one pound per head
per day and be sure all calves get
their share, when you can increase
the grain to all they will clean up
twice daily. Feed silage to the calves
when they begin eating well by feeding
all they will clean up In half an hour.
Much trouble Is always avoided In get
ting calves going along well II you are
careful In the starting Of the calves
On new feeds and increased rations.
About two pounds Of silage per head
to start them on would be sufficient,
noting that all the calves get to eating.
The calves will pay well for the time
spent in bedding them well and giving
them comfortable quarters during cold
snowy weather. As soon as the calves
are eating regularly and well and
cleaning up the feed before they leave
the trough, they should gain between
one and a half pounds to two pounds
daily. If they are soggy. close to the
ground kind Of calves, they should do
well for you and make baby beef.
After a few weeks, part of the ra-
tion, say one-third to one-half, could
be ground barley or corn. They will
certainly not make enough gain In
flesh on silage alone.

can then be kept from three to five
