The Parts Books
PLAY in Our Lives

Books may play two different
parts in the lives of men. They
may build for US the walls Of
another and quite separate world
in which we can take refuge from
all that wounds and limits and
illustrates us in this one. Or they
may be the daily bread Of our

But whichever pant they play
whether they are to Us the quiet

Retard Growth
Of Heifers, Calves

Cattle lice are a serious handi-
cap to the development of calves
and heifers.
When infested with lice, the
young animals rub against posts
and trees, wearing away their hair
and inflaming their skin. Some
times the calves become thin and
weak from loss Of weight.
In the late winter and early
spring, said Fred M. Haig, associate
professor of animal husbandry ane
dairying at State College, dairymer
should inspect their calves to SET
whether they are infested with lice
The insects are found around thu
necks and shoulders of the animals
but they also infest other parts Of
the body.
The first step in eradicating lice
Professor Haig said, is K clean ane
disinfect the stalls thoroughly
After removing the bedding ane
sweeping the stalls, disinfect then
with a five per cent solution of any
good coal tar di~sinfectant.
Allow the stalls to dry, ther
whitewash the interior. When thu
whitewash is dry, place plenty Of
straw bedding or other clean ma
terial in the stalls.
Meanwhile, apply to the calve!
a solution of one ounce of sodium
fluoride in a gallon of water
Brush it in thoroughly SO that it will
reach every part Of the body ane
penetrate loose folds of skin.
Tie the animals in a sunny place
protected from drafts, until they
are dry. The calves r then ready
to be placed back in the newly dis
infected stalls, and a second treat
ment will hardly be necessary I'M
less they become infested again
from other animals, Professor Haig
stated.

North Carolina farmers would

Brick Breeders Are
Gaining Popularity

From Is to 20 million chicks
will be raised in North Carolina
this year, poultry specialists esti-
mate.
Thus may be seen the import
ance of good brooders to the poul-
try industry, said C. F. Parrish
extension poultry specialist at State
College.
Although a number of brooder:
are now in use, he said, the brick
or stone brooder is generally con-
sidered the farmers standby. Il
is both inexpensive and efficient.
In a house II by II feet in area
800 chicks can be cared for with
a brick brooder. If add:tiona
brooding space is desired, a 800
chick unit can be added by extend
ing the length of the house II
feet and adding a hot water at
tachment to the brooder.
Parrish pointed out the follow
ing advantages of brick brooders;
They are practical, and easy tc
build. Farm women and All clut
boys have constructed them sue
cessfully. With them it is easy
to maintain an even temperature
in all parts of the house.
There is no fire hazard if thu
roof and flooring are well insuiat'
ed. Fuel cost is low where wood il
available. They do not give of
any fumes inside the house; in fact
they aid in ventilating the broode'
house.
There is nothing to get out Of
order, and they r easy to operate
Sufficient brooding space prevent
crowding the chucks. Brick hold
heat and keeps the brooder warm
when the the fire gets low.

brooder and house may be obtain

tor at State College, Raleigh, .,

Farm Work Is Good
For Foaling Mares

More colts will be born in North
Carolina this spring than at any
time during the past 10 years, said
R. H. Huffner, head of the animal
~husbandry department at State COL
lege.
A renewed interest in horses and
mules has spread over the State, he
said, and the high price Of good
draft animals has induced many
farmers to breed their own work.
stock.
The foaling mare does not need
to lose a great deal of time from
her work, Ruffner pointed out. In
fact, ordinary farm work is the best
exercise she can get prior to foaling
time.
He recommends that she work
up to the day she drops her colt,
then be given an eight-day rest.
After the rest, it is better for her
and the colt if she returns to work.
If for some reason however, the
dam and foal are not doing we'll, it
may be best to prolong the rest
period. Meanwhile, endeavor to
ascertain the trouble and correct it
as quickly as possible.
Before the colt is dropped, feed
the mare an abundance of legume
hay. A 1,2oo-pound brood mare
at farm work should get a grain ra-
ton consisting of { pounds of corn,
s pounds of oats, and 2 pounds of
wheat bran per day.
The first two days after the colt
is born, do not give the mare any
grain except two pounds of a
wheat bran mash morning and
night, Professor Ruffner continued.
Or the third day, a pound of oats
may be added to the mash.
Keep up this light feeding dur
ing the eight-day rest period to in
sure a gradual development of the
milk flow and to prevent digestive
disturbances of the mare or foal.
If good pasture is o available
give the mare all the legume or
mixed hay she will eat.

on their way down the northern
edge of the Pacific ocean, the
fiords of the northwest coast, with
excellent fishing grounds, and sur

America was thus, the ethno'o-

long before the arrival of Column
