Good Grain Mixture to
Feed to Growing Calves

At the time calves are changed from
whole to skim milk, they are ready to
begin eating small amounts of grain,
which should he placed before them In
small feeding boxes. Or If they are
tied In stanchions for milk feeding. the
grain can be put In the manger before
they are released. Just u very small
handful Is all the calf will take ut first,
and only as much should be fed as
the animal Will clean up.
Ground corn Is very palatable, and
Il can be fed alone or In combination
with other grains, such MS ground oats,
bran, and some oil meal. 1t sometimes
helps TO get the calf started on grain
by putting u small o on Its
ongue and muzzle when the empty
milk pail is taken AWAY. This also
outs u stop to sucking the ears OF the
calf in the next tie. After the young
animal = appetite for grain has In
creased. the corn and oats can be fed
whole, but many feeders continue to
VET them have ground grain.
A good grain mixture TO feed to
growing calves is made up OF 500
pounds Of ground corn. 800 pounds
ground or whole oats, and 100 pounds
linseed oil meal.
Hay can also be placed before the
calves at this time In n small rack.
Glover hny, mixed clover and timothy.
or alfalfa hny not too leafy, are all
satisfactory.

branches do not droop AZ do those of
Morello," says the station horticulture
list. THE leaves are larger and the
fruit better distributed. The cherries
are larger. possess the same dark color
and shape of the Morello, except with
a deeper cavity, and ripen n little
earlier, but are much milder in fiaver
and therefore pleasanter to eat out Of
hand than the sour, a~stringent Morel-

Silage More Profitable
Than Corn in Feed Test

The Iowa experiment station in

The lot that received n full ration
OF shelled corn and n half ration of

Indigestion in Horses
Result of Poor Feeding

Digestive troubles in the horse ara
often the result Of injudicious feeding
and watering. especially during the hot
summer months when the horse is do
ing a full quota Of work. 1t must be
remembered that If the horse is tired
out and exhausted his stomach and
other internal organs are in the same
condition and are not in a At state to
start to do their work, which Is h
proper digestion and assimilation OF
the food taken in by the animal. II h
stomach Is unable to perform Its work
In q normal manner and a large feed
Of oats is given 1t can easily be under
stood that the results are apt to be dis
astrous and lead to severe COLES which
often have a fatal ending. Many COLES
are due to feeding Immediately the
horse m in from a hard spell OF
work and when he is heated and tired
out. Being hungry, he starts in to eat
rapidly, with the result that the stom-
ach becomes overloaded and unable to
handle the food. In a short time the
horse shows signs Of pain and restless
ness and the farmer has on his hands
a very sick animal. II the horse is ex-
hausted. allow him only a mouthful Of
water and feed a sloppy bran mash,
which Is easy Of digestion. but the oats
and hay must be withheld until thu
animal is cooled and been well rubbed
down. By that time. under the influ-
ence Of the bran mash, the stomach
will have recovered its tone and be in
a fit state to digest the regular ~rations.
Indigestion in colts may result from
he Irritation Of teething, from the re-
moval of the dam at too early an age,
or sucking when the dam Is heated or
has been too long a time parted from
the foal. In older animals Indigestion
may be due to defective teeth, debility
Of the stomach improper and irregular
feeding are also common causes. Indi-
gestion with engagement arises from
ravenous eating. filling the stomach to
an excessive degree. .
In ordinary cases of chronic indiges-
tfon first examine the teeth, and re-
move the cause of irritation from
them; next carefully consider the diet
the horse is fed, and see that 1t Is mod
crate In quantity, nutritious and Of
fered at regular intervals, and when
these are done 1t will be time to think
of medicines.
Generally, It will be advisable to give
a mild purge Of oil with ginger, fol-
lowed by a tonic made of bi~carbonata
of soda and powdered gentian, each
half an ounce, and powdered nux vomi-
ca, 20 grains, given as a dose twice q
day.

Recognize Importance
of Pure Bred Females
Shown Most Conspicuouslv
in Case of Hogs.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuiture.)
In the improvement of live stock, Q
movement which Is being accelerated
by various states and the United
States Department of Agriculture
through the Better S~ires-Better
Stock" campaign, the sire exerts the
greater influence, but, nee the grading
up process has been started, the impor-
lance of well-bred dams must be re,.-
ognized. 1t Is only through the use
of pure bred females that it is possible
to preserve and carry on the full value
Of good sires. A pure bred sire and q
pure bred dam are necessary to repro
duce a pure bred, which maintains an
unbrOken stream of known blood.
That farmers soon recognize the
need for pure blood on both sides Of
an animals ancestry Is indicated by
the figures collected by the Depart
ment of Agriculture in the campaign
just referred to. The adoption of
pure bred sires in most cases soon re
suits in the purchase of a few regis
tered females. In the last department
iSpoit W lbS the Minus anu pIttulhS
of animals owned by farmers and
breeders enrolled in the campaign
they were shown to have on their
farms 1914 pure bred sires and 1884,
020 pure bred females. The tendency
toward the wider adoption of pure
bred dams is shown most conspicu-
ously in the case of hogs, the most
rapid multiples of the domestic farm
animals. In the list of hogs owned by
men who have Joined the campaign
62.S per cent of the sows are pure
bred. Cattle come mex with $50 per
cent of the females pure bred. For
horses the percentage is 1875 per cent,
asses 24.6 per cent, sheep and goats
about 1875 per cent. In the list of
fowls owned there are IS. los pure bred
males and 514.422 females. which Is
nearly 10 per cen of all the female
fowls listed.
The breeder who sells pure bred
sires is building a market for pure
bred females.

Essential Features of
Self-Feeders for Hogs

Pigs that are to be fattened for mar
ket, says Arthur L. Anderson, who Is
In charge of the hog section of the
animal ~husbandry division at Univer-
sity farm, will make the most rapid
and economical gains II put on a self
feeder. The time required for the
hogs to reach the marketable weight
is reduced by this system Of feeding.
Also the labor bill is cut down mate
rally.
The free choice system. or allowing
the hogs to select feeds to the mount
of their own wanting, has been found
4 satisfactory plan. The wants of
the pig are a good criterion Of his bod
lily needs.
Self-feeders vary a great deal in
minor features of construction. The
essential features, says Mr.. Anderson,
are:
!. Substantial and rainproof con-
struction.
2. A v-shaped hopper to insure q
constant supply available to the pigs.
3. A small opening at the base Of
the hopper to control the escape of
feed, and adjustable for the various
kinds OF feeds.
4. A trough from which the hogs
may eat, so constructed as to prevent
the waste OF feed.
A self-feeder having these features
OF construction can be made In nm or
binary farm workshop and will be
found very practicable.

Maud Upper was the first girl Of
her own & that Joan had ever seen.
Joan went in terror Of her and Maud
knew this and enjoyed her ascend
ancy over an untamed creature twice
her size. There was the crack of a
~lion-tamer's whip In the tone of her
Instructions. That was after a day
or two. At first Maud had been hor-
ribly afraid Of Joan. "A wild thing
like her, livin' of there in the hills

knew that civilization-this rude place
being civilization to Joan-would COW
the girl, and she knew that Maud's
self-assertive buoyancy would brighten

hipped. high-bosomed, with n small,
round waist much compressed. She
taught Joan impatiently and laughed
loudly but NOT u%nkindly at her ways.
