Very Satisfactory Milk
Substitute for Calves

(vrepared by the United States Department
Of Agr1oulture.)
A very satisfactory milk substitute
for feeding calves after the second
week has been devised by the United
States Department Of Agriculture. The
mixture consists of so parts finely
ground corn, Is parts linseed-oil meal.
Is parts finely ground rolled oats, 10
parts dried blood flour, 10 parts skim
milk powder, and one-half part salt. 1t
is stirred up with warm water at the
rate Of / pound Of meal to pounds Of
water. The feed Is increased gradually
as the whole milk Is decreased, until
at the time the calf is so days old 1t L.
getting only the Cruel. At this time
~ to 2 pounds Of meal mixed with
water will constitute 4 days feed.
Whenever there are indications OF
scours the feed must be reduced.
When calves are vigorous, the fol
lowing schedule may be adhered to In
changing from whole milk to the sub
gtitute:
First week-Whoie milk.
Second week-Whole milk. 100
Third week-Three parts whole milk.
one part Cruel.
Fourth week-Three parts whole
milk one part Cruel
Fifth week-Whole milk and cruel.
equal parts.
sixth week-Whole milk one part
cruel three parts.
Seventh week-All Cruel.
Grain and roughage should be 1ed
with milk substitutes the same as with
separated milk. Milk has to be very
high In price to justify the use OF sub
stitutes during the first two weeks OF
the calfs life.

GOOD
HIGHWAYS
Urge States to Hasten
Building of Main Roads


prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
The principal highways OF every
state should be constructed as rapid
ly as the available supply Of labor
and materials permits. They should
be constructed and maintained by the
state highway departments and should
be paid for by the people of the states
as a whole. according to Thomas FL.
Macdonald, chief Of the bureau OF
public roads, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
Mr.. Macdonald says that actual
road tests have shown that the an
nual saving in gasoline alone on the
more important roads will, in some
instances, more than pay the yearly
cost of such roads. including proper
distribution of the first cost. The
public pays for good roads whether
1t builds them or not. This fact alone,
without regard to the Increased need
for highway transportation to supple
ment the railroads, the saving in wear
and tear on vehicles. and the social,
recreational, and educational advan-
tages of good roads in rural sections,
Mr.. Macdonald says, should cause the
states to proceed with their improve
ment Of their main roads as fast az
physical limitations permit.
The burden Of building and main.
tanning the main state roads must be
shouldered By the state, in Mr.. Mac
Donald's opinion. 1t Is not fair tc
expect 4 county to provide for the
construction and upkeep Of the mair
state roads within its borders when
as 10 generally the case, the traffic OF
such roads comes in greater part from
outside Of the county. The attemp
to finance the improvement Of suci
roads has been the means Of bringing
good many counties to the pein
whore they are not able to properi!
provide for the feeder roads, whicl
should be- their principal concern, be
! cause their credit is tied up in
relatively short mileage Of high-price'
road which should have been built witt
state funds.

The first defeat of the present sea-

contest. The Culdesac team is the
same as that which won second place
in the state tournament last spring
with the exception of one man. All

Will Be FIRST LUTHERAN
CHURCH OF MOSCOW, NOW

At the annual congregational meet
ing Of the Swedish Lutheran church
held Monday afternoon, it was decid-
ed to change the corporation name
to The First Lutheran Church OF
Moscow, and the necessary legal
steps will be taken at once.
The Swedish Lutheran church at
this place was the first Lutheran
church in Moscow and also the first
in the state of Idaho. 1t is the plan,
under the new name, to hold prac-
tically all services in the English
language.
At the meeting Monday reports
from the various departments were
heard, showing that the year had
been one of advancement with the
organization. A fine new home for
the pastor was built at cost Of some
$4,000 and paid for, and new pipe
organ installed at cost of $4,000
The finances of the organization were
shown to be well in hand, and a sat-
isfactory growth was shown.
Officers for the three-year term
were elected as follows: c. B.
Green, secretary; Deacons-A E.
Victor Anderson. Trus-
tees-Frank Gustafson and Gust An
derson. Miss Ellen Peterson was
elected organist, Walter Johnson
choir leader and A. J. Lindquist,
sexton.
