Question: What do you recon-
mend for curing young calves Of
indigestion?
Answer: When the first symp-
toms appear the calf should be iSO-
lated and its milk feed reduced at
least one-half. II legume hay is
being fed this should be replaced
with grass hay until the trouble
disappears. 4 dose of one to three
tableSpOonfulS of castor oil, de-
pending upon the age Of the calf,
should be- given in one pint Of
fresh milk. Following the action
of the oil, teaspOOnful of Il mix
ture composed of one part salol
and two parts each of biSmuth
and bicarbonate of soda should
be given. This can be repeated at
intervals of about six hours until
the diarIhea is stopped The trou-
bic is usually caused by improp-
Ell feeding and this cause should
be located and removed before
the calf is put back on full feed

Farm Questions
And Answers

Question: What can | do to
stop "pickoutS" in my flock Of
Lcghorn hens?
Answer: This condition is I'M
doubtedIy related TO intensity of
production. and as yet no practi-
cal method of control has been
advanced. If any change in diet
is made 10 slow up production, it
Is very probable that this would
result in Il neck moult which is
undesirable. The most practical
method of approach is to observe
the birds frequently and immcdi-
atcly remove those showing a pro-
lapse. These birds should be used
for table purposes.

Question: How much plant bed
space should | seed To plant an
acre of tobacco?
Answer: \ plant bed that is ten
yards square will normally pro-
duce from 10000 TO $4,000 plants
which is enough plants to cover
two acres. In planning the beds,
however. it is well to seed extra
space SO aS TO insure an adequate
supply of plants. Where 4 larger
acreage is to be planted it is bet
ter 10 have several small beds
