Practical Suggestions
to Keep Calves Growing

The calf should be left with It's
dam two 10 four dnys and get the
colostrum or .frst milk" Then Il
can be fed two to FIVE pounds Of the
dams milk three times daily. which Is
preferable to feeding larger amounts
twice a day. Grain and hay can be
offered when the calf is ten days old.
Keep the feeding utensils. manger and
calf pen scrupulously clean and the
calf comfortable and thrifty.
Substitute one pound of skim milk
Tor one pound Of whole milk daily I'M
Ill the calf gets all skim milk, and
then feed six to ten pounds twice a
day. Gradually increase the amount
OF hay and grain and add the inner
parts OF silage II available after the
calf Is six to eight weeks old. See
that the calf has free access to fresh
water and salt. Do everything that
will encourage a most thrifty growth.
Keep the calf free from lice and pro-
tected as much as possible from lice,
dies. and other annoyances.

Smut Diseases
Cause Big Loss
Variety Known as Markton
Discovered to Be Immune
From Ailment.

| CPTspGrsd By the United States Department.
Of AEricuiture)
An EFFORT 10 supply farmers OF the
oat-producing areas with varieties OF
oats Immune from or highly resistant
to the smut diseases. which are very
widespread and cause annual heavy
losses TO the crops. has been given
encouraging impetus by the discovery
recently OF variety immune from COW
cred smut. The immune variety.
known as MarktOn. Is a selection from
an unnamed variety OF oats with yell
lowish kernels. obtained from Turkey
about twenty years ago. II has been
tested at the Oregon and Washington
stations, where II has not only proved
TO be immune from covered smut, hut
has also shown the highest yielding
ability Of any variety tested at these
stations. The discovery OF immunity
from covered smut In a variety With
desirable kernel characteristic in COM
bination with high yielding power is
a decided step toward a solution Of
the smut problem In oats.
Reduction Of Crop.
In 1923 the smut diseases caused an
annual reduction In the total oat crop
Of the United States estimated at 3d. |
278.O00 bushels. or 2.55 per cent. This
OF reduction varies In diff
ferent sections. amounting to as much
as 10 per cent IN Kentucky. per
cent In Massachusetts, and Arkansas.
between and per cent in Vlr-
ginia. South Carolina, Georgia. Illinois
and Minnesota. Iowa. the greatest Oat-
producing state In point Of total BUSH
Els produced suffered a loss of ] per
cent, which means loss Of more than
!, 100000 bushels. Oregon. where the
immune variety Markton has been
grown commercially. showed no loss
n 1928. II
Greatly Reduce Loss.
Hybrids OF the MarktOn variety have
'een developed by the United States
Department of Agriculture by cross /,
ne with II a number OF the best stand
I'D varieties. These have been sent {
o four leading agricultural expert
nent stations In the oat-producing Z
reas, where they will be tested for
heir resistance to the disease. Marked 4
nd satisfactory progress has been
lade by plant breeders In develop q
ig varieties OF cereals which are re- '
Istant to various diseases. and II b
hoped that the annual loss TO the
at crop from smut diseases will be
realty reduced by subsequent devel- c
Dment Of resistant varieties.

CHECK BLACKHEAD
IN TURKEY FLOCK

Every year blackhead In turke,
nocks becomes a little more common
and every year the losses from the
dread disease are little larger. And
while no positive treatment has ever
been discovered, a remedy Is being
used by hundreds OF successful turkey
growers that proves very satisfactory
II used before the fowls are in the
last stages OF the disease. says a
writer Ia Successful Farming.
slight Iameness Is usually discern
ibIe in a turkey coming down with
blackhead. The bird gradually grows
weaker, refuses to eat, but drinks an
unusual amount. Diarrhea Is usually
present, and when the disease is In an
advanced stage. the droppings are
usually a bright yellow. The wings
and tail are not held up. The head Is
drawn close to the body.
Sometimes the flesh parts Of the
head turn a bluish-black. II you are
not sure whether II is blackhead or
some other allment that is affecting
the bird, Il will be wise TO make post
norton examination II the liver Is
covered with black or gangrene spots
IL will not be necessary to look further
xjr the trouble. You may be sure
blackhead is the trouble. and begin
treatment accordingly.
Powdered ipecac may be used either
as a remedy for bIackhead or as a
preventive. We prefer to use It as a
preventive. as any disease is better
prevented than cured. When black |
head enters our flock It usually causes
the greatest losses before the pouIts
are six weeks OF age. For this rea-
son we begin feeding the ipecac to the
poults as soon as we begin feeding
mash. II e fed in a wet mash-One
teaspoonful Of powdered lpecac to
enough mash for 20 turkeys-twice a
week. The same amount Is given to
the young birds and the mature fowls.
This treatment will prevent black
head entering your flock, though the
are allowed to range with
the older birds. and on injected
ground.
If blackhead has entered your flock
before treatment Is begun. the sick
birds should be fed half a teaspoonful
Of powdered ipecac in wet mash (for
each blrd) for three successive days.
II the disease Is not in the advanced
stage It viii not be difficult to remedy.
,ut II the fowls are nearly dead when
he treatment Is begun. you cannot ex-
1ect large percentage Of cures.
Heretofore. the only cure for black
head has been to move to new. unln-
ected land. and this Is usually only
'ffective for the FIRST season.

Princeton Inventor Fuses
 Metals by Wireless Heat

TRENTON, N. J., Apr. 17.-Recent reports from England that the wire less furnace was to be adopted by the steel industry of Sheffield for use in melting solid metals, brought to light today that Dr. E. F. Nor thrup of Princeton, inventor of this furnace, recently has perfected process whereby an alloy of copper nickel and iron is made which pro- tects electrical meters from the de- fleets of wide temperature variations. The alloy is made in a wireless heat ed crucible.
 pr. Northrup's invention consists of a crucible surrounded by a cold copper coil which, having no contact with the crucible, heats the metal placed inside by electrical induction or radio Inasmuch as heat is gen. erated only in the contents of the crucible the metal is said to melt itself," being vigorously stirred, mean time, by the electrical current flow ing into it. It is described as ra- dio process with the distance span ned only few inches compared with the miles of distance spanned in most radio operations.
 The invention of "permalloy," which gives the newest submarine cables a capacity of about 1,70O let ters a minute, is said to have been made possible by the wireless furn- ace.

March Enjoys Deserved
 Fame as Month of Wind

WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. IT, March of all months in the year still continues to hold the record for high winds. although the bisges. wind ever actually measured blew across Mount Washington on January day.
 This record was made Jan. II, 1878, when a velocity Of 1Sc miles an hour was recorded on an official anemometer there But high winds reach their greatest numbe.' in March particularly in the country east of the Mississippi river.
 "How strong was the wind" is a question often asked after destruc- tive storm. The American Nature Association says the answer is lia- ible to be misleading, for it is al most always stated in terms of speed rather than force. The force of a wind can be indicated accurately by saying what pressure it exerts in pounds per square foot upon a surface at right angles to it's path. This pressure varies approximately as the square of the speed.
 Thus wind of 20 miles an hour blows about four times as hard as one of ten miles an hour and wind of 30 miles an hour blows about nine times as hard as one of ten miles an hour.
 In such storms as the one which swept thru Illinois the uprushing
