QUESTIONS, ANSWERS

V. M.-Should 1 train my child
to use his right hand instead of
his left one?
The child Is just I year old
and seems to persist in using the
left hand and we would prefer
him to use his right one.
Does changing hands cause
suffering?
Answer-In my opinion IL a
child is left-handed he should be
allowed to be left-handed.
/ think IL also tends to cause
suffering to change from
natural left-handedness to right
handedness.
What difference does il make
which hand he uses?

Whole Milk Gives
Calves Good Start

For a good start in life, give the
dairy calf its share of whole milk,
states Max McMillin, county agent.
milk is sold should be fed some
whole milk until at least three weeks
of age.
At the University of Minnesota eX-
pertinent station, calves were changed
to skim milk after the first three or
four weeks and put on a ration of
good quality hay and grain alone at
go to 70 days of age. The grain ra-
ton, consisting of equal parts ground
corn and oats, wheat bran and linseed
meal, was fed along with good quail
ty legume hay after the first two
weeks. Grain was limited to five
pounds daily per calf
Only $50 pounds Of whole milk and
no skim milk are required to raise
a calf under the method known as
the New Jersey plan. Calves are
fed three quarts of whole milk daily
for three weeks. At the end of the
first week a mixture of Is pounds
ground corn, 37.5 pounds ground
oats, 1875 pounds each of wheat bran,
inseed meal and blood meal, and one
pound each of salt and pulverized
limestone, mari or bone meal, is fed.
At three weeks, whole milk is gradu-
ally replaced with water so that with
in 80 days alfalfa hay and concen-
trates make up the entire ration.
According to T. w. Gullickson of the
dairy husbandry division at Universe
ty Farm good calf meal can be pre-
pared on the farm at reasonable cost.
Mix 80 pounds ground corn, 80 pounds
of ground or rolled oats, 10 pounds
wheat bran, 10 pounds linseed meal,
soybean oilmeal, fish meal or dried
blood, and 20 pounds of dried but
termilk.
Calf meals should be introduced
into the ration gradually, beginning
at two weeks of age so that when
Weaned from milk the calf will be
eating is to two pounds daily. At
no time should the calf be fed over
five pounds of meal daily.

known fisherman, comes through

when last Sunday (January 18) my
son Robert, who is Is years, 1854
days old, and chip off the old
block when it comes to fishing, went
down to Big lake. We call it Big
lake because when you get one it is
big one, and after getting bath
and all tangled up with bent spear
landed one 48 inches long, 20 inches
in girth, weight 20 pounds. Not to be
outdone by Rob went down Monday
afternoon and got the limit, one nine

farm machinery in shape for next
seasons use. Pamphlet 80 may be
