Corn or any other feed II badly
nodded should not be fed to dairy
cows.
The United States produced 2 bill
lion dozen eggs last year. This is at
the rate of about $50 eggs each Sec
|ond.
The Biological Survey, U. s. ID. A.,
operates an experimental fur farm
lat Saratoga. Springs, N. Y, a rein
deer experiment station at Fair
banks, Alaska, and has recently
completed an arrangement to estab-
lish a rabbit experiment station att
Fontana, Calf.
Horticulturists of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture are now de-
veloping hardy chrysanthemums for
gardens in the Northern States.
They expect to develop strains which
will bloom between Sept. to Is for
gardens of the most Northern States
and others that will bloom between
Sept. Is and Oct. 1 for gardens
little further South.
Forestry, says the Forest Service,
U. S. D. A., is steadily becoming an
art of land management, expressed
in practical measures for protecting
forest growth from fire and other de-
structive agencies, for logging tim
Der so as to produce a new crop of
wood, and for planting forest trees
on cut-over or denuded areas.
The proper care of footwear,
coupled with intelligent selection,
means reduction of from one
quarter to one-haH in shoe bills and
at the same time keeps the feet neat
ly and serviceably shod. Mud,
water, or excessive dryness ruins
leather; oil and grease preserve it.
Therefore, the life of boots and shoes
may be extended by keeping them
clean, pliable, and water resistant.
Farm footwear especially needs to be
creased occasionally.
Double disking corn ground for
fall-sown oats in the South produces
as high yields as blowing. With the
advantage of decided decrease in
the cost of production. Where the
land has been we'll cultivated and is
reasonably free from grass, weeds,
and crop residue, disking is to be
strongly recommended. Flowing
should be resorted to only when the
land is in such condition that a sat-
isfactory seeded can not be prepar-
ed by disking.
Whole milk should be fed to cal
YES at the rate Of from 8 to II
pounds daily, depending on their
size and condition of thrift. For the
first few feelings the calf should
have it's mothers milk, ard should
be fed three times daily, at regular
intervals. Skim milk can be grad
ually substituted for whole milk at
the rate of one pound daily begin
ming with the third week, providing
the calves are vigorous and healthy.
At this time the total amount can
also be increased from 2 to pounds
daily. Unless the milk is carefully
weighed at each change of feeding
and the amount definitely known,
there is danger of overlooking. All
milk should be fed at an even tenn
perature of about 80 degrees in clean
pals and at regular hours.
For shade or as a windbreak, the
Chinese elm has proved its value in
most sections of the United States.
The United States Department of
Agriculture introduced this tree
nearly 20 years ago and it has been
growing in popularity ever since.
The Department recommends it as
useful and suitable for many CHM
ates. The Chinese elm is especially
valuable in regions where few trees
thrive, in other words. Trials show
that the Chinese elm grows even
more rapidly in the relatively dry
area of the middle west than in the
moister regions of the ATLANTIC
coast. u
