method is important whichever you
should choose.
Molasses or brown sugar are ex-
cellent sweeteners, ''foolers," or ap-
petizers. Be carefuli Molasses is a
very laxative feed, especially when
combined with bran and linseed
meal One-quarter pint of molasses
mixed in water is enough for feed
ing and, depending on the size of
the calf, could be too much. This
recommendation is scaled for 700
or 800-pound calf, so adjust the
amount of molasses fed accordingly.
Brown sugar can be fed dry, mixed
with your grain ration; that is, if
you can find a cheap commercial
product.
Provide Grazing Exercise
Do not forget free-choice hay and
night grazing. There is a difference
Of opinion as to whether or not
calves should be turned into a grass
lot at night when on fattening ra-
ton. Most feeders think it is an ex-
cellent plan. In any case, the cattle
you are fitting should have daily
exercise. Some prefer controlled
exercise program which involves
leading or driving the animal at
least one-half mile each day.
The problem of hay feeding is
variable also. Some feeders prefer
to give only an amount of hay fol-
lowing the grain feeding that can
be cleaned up in Is or 20 minutes.
Of course, conditions vary and a
constant program is by all means
the most important, where that may
be the deciding factor.
Use Home Grown Feeds
Many more rations could be listed
but it would perhaps be pointless.
Try to use your home grown feeds
to best advantage in any ration you
design! These rations balance rather
closely. However, some of the fig
ures are more convenient than ac-
curate. If you look closely, you can
detect a pattern in these rations,
and they will fill most practical sit
uations. You should be able to de.
sign your own rations with a little
help from outside sources. 1t nigh
be mentioned that one of the car
dinal thumb rules of some caution:
feeders is never to include less thar
25 per cent by weight of oats in am
ration. Sometimes prices of feec
and other considerations might jus
tify shift from this rule.
There is much more that coult
be and is written about the care an'
feeding of your calves. Do not for
get your own experience. All tn
telling and teaching in the worl'
will not substitute for the "learnin
you get by doing"

Care and Feeding Of
Your All, FLA Calf
BY ERNEST N. McCULLOH
American Aberdeen-Angns Breeders association

it is at this time that Doddie makes
up her mind what she likes.
A calf pellet can be used in all
rations. In this first ration five
pounds of each to every total 100
pounds of feed can be added. And
Doddie could get along on this ra-
ton until she is weaned at months
of age.
Avoid IrregularitY
For those of you who want to do
a little better job of pushing" we
will have something to say in a
moment. First a few catch rules, or
Thumb" rules. Watch Doddie's
droppings for signs of irregularity
in her schedule. They should never
be hard and they should never be
too soft. Too loose bowels in to
9-month-old calves is a strong indi-
cation of too much milk or protein
feed. Feed a coarseiy ground or
crimped feed. Never feed dusty or
powdery feed, if you can help it.
That is-a feed that gums up in the
mouth of your calf. If you wonder
what is meant, try to chew hand
full of flour sometime.
Start your calves on feed gradual
ly-about II pound of grain per
day per 100 pounds of live weight
to start. Doddie would be getting a
2-pound ration daily to start, when
she weighs about 400 pounds. (She
will probably actually eat more than
this, however) Gradually increase
the ration. Most calves will clean up
their feed in 80 minutes, and nearly
all should be trained to do so.
A maximum feed ration for be-
ginners should figure about to 21a
pounds of grain per 100 pounds of
live weight. This will vary from
calf to calf, of course, but it will be
safer to stay within these limits
Another simple beginning ration
might be two parts of steamed, rolled
oats and one part cracked corn, OF
one part steamed, rolled barley.
Changes in the first or basic ra.
ton should be made only wher
Doodle is on full feed for hel
weight. 1t would be a good plan t.
reduce her feelings a little jus
prior to and after any ration change
Not too much, or too long. You onl!
want to make her a little hungry
Several final fattening rations fol
low, but if possible, several gradua
changes should be made before bod
die gets to her final fattening feed

Here is a ration without wheat
bran, using beet pulp. An excellent
plan is to mix some molasses with
water, and pour the mixture over
the beet pulp-swelling it. You can
let the pulp swell overnight, but be-
cause of the heat, flies, ETC., it might
be better for you to do it a short
while before feeding. A CONSTANT

THERE IS MUCH truth in the old
tens the OK" Every boy and girl
feeding club calves should bear its
significance in mind. This does not
mean that you must have years of
experience, but it means that you
must be watchful and patient and
try to do for the animal that which
is best for it.
Let's take for an example the care
and feeding of Jimmy Doake's heif-
er calf-a heifer we shall nickname
''Doddie" for the sake of convent
ence. AS Doodle was born the
18th of May, let's back up bit and
start complete schedule from
time prior to Doddie's birth, her
mamma! No amount of emphasis
would be too much to. place on that
mammals care and development. so
that she can properly carry, give
birth to, and raise Doddie.
Grass, plenty of it, is the basis of
all beef and most animal agricul-
ture. Grass is a balanced ration in
itself for a COW. Add water, bone
meal or other forms of phosphorus,
salt, or trace mineralized, granulat-
ed stock salt, and you have just
about all in the world that your cow
will need to do the job. Of course,
she should have shade, and it is
taken for granted that she will get
ample exercise on your new, inn
proved pasture plot Again, water,
clean and cool, is the cheapest
''feed'i
Tips on Minerals
Before we get into a discussion
of specific rations, let us consider
a few miscellaneous notes on min
era1, bone meal and salt. If you
want to do so, keep right on
feeding your special mineral mixes.
If you want to mix bone meal and
salt together, mixture of Is bone
meal to 2s salt by weight will suf-
flee. The free choice method is con-
sidered preferable. Do not worry
if the stuff seemingly is never
touched. A very little goes long
way, and a cow will eat all she
needs! Some commercial minerals
have filler and 'sweet mix" added
A little later we will see how thi:
can fool a calf or a cow when w,
get to grain rations.
May Is comes along and Doddi,
hits the ground all four feet bracec
and bawling defiance to the world
If mamma is getting little oats o
pellets in addition to liberal amount
of hay or pasture, be careful. Doddi
is small, and for two weeks or S
may not be able to take all of he
mothers milk.
When Doddie is 2 weeks old sh
is ready to investigate. Curiou
or hungry? Well, maybe both. A
any rate a little whole oats an
some other cereal grain could
made available to her in a creep I
some sort, if that is the most col
venient. Remember, calf of
weeks is not interested in "fanC
dan" ration. Three parts oats, or
part barley, one part corn wou
be a start. The barley should

Cottonseed meal of good quality
or soybean oil meal would substitute
in place of the linseed meal in all

be used in place of part or all of the

Beet pulp is equal in feeding value

However, it failed to keep Mr..
Muzzy out of the bidding with
his six-card holding in the other

Mr.. Champion groaned in
wardly when Mr. MuzZy bid five
spades rather than let the double
of five hearts stand. Actually
Mr.. Muzzy's bid was very good.
His play. however. fell somewhat
short of perfection.
The king of hearts was opened
and Mr.. Muzzy ruffed. Now he
made a "stingy" play which is
the downfall of many a con-
tract. Unwilling to give up the
chance of capturing the king of
spades, he led low spade and
finessed dummy's jack. He then
caShed the ace of spades and
saw Mr.. HeinSite discard a heart.
Now he coud not ruff himself
back in the lead without short
eping his trumps past the danger
point. Therefore he decided to
start the clubs. Mrs. Keen ruffed
the second club lead and led the
king of diamonds.
Dummy'S ace won and Mr..
Muzzy led dummy's last heart
and ruffed it. He led the queen
of spades and Mrs. Keen won
with the king and cashed her
queen of diamonds. She came
out with a high heart and Mr..
Muzzy ruffed, led the ten of
spades, then went to dummy with
club and discarded his dia-
mondS. Down one.

Heinsite. wait and ruff the
third lead. Then lead the king
of diamonds. That leaves him
with on entry to the board and
we get him for two more tricks"
Don't be absurd" snapped
Mr.. Champion. He should make
an overtrick. All he has to do
is to take the first spade trick
with the ace, return the jack
and play his queen. Mrs. Keen
can take her king of spades any
time she wants it but it's the
only trick she can get"
Mr.. Champion was right.
Mr.. Muzzy should have given up
his wild hope of winning all the
tricks in the interests of play
ing it safe to make his doubled

Bears are getting bold in the
Pamlico region. Alton Best's fish
house just across the road and the
canal in front of his home was
raided Sunday night by a bear
which weighed in excess of 400
pounds. The bears were discovered
by a motorist who turned his car
around at this spot, and reflected
in the lights was the bear stand
ing in the doorway. The bear had
been eating heavily from a box of
discarded fish, and is believed to
have been eating there all spring,
because he was extremely fat.
When Best shot the bear, he heard
a heavy plunge in the canal, and it
is believed a second bear got away.
Frank Faux who lives on Sell

Leechville is disturbed by a bear
which ranges on his farm and
which he believes will weigh 500
pounds. Several efforts to capture
him have failed.

CHIEF AVERY TILLETT WINDS
UP CAREER OF e EVENTFUL
YEARS AS COAST GUARDSMAN

Kill Devil Hills.-Official rec
ords show that Nelson Avery Til
lett, BMLC, had, up to Wednesday,
been in the Coast Guard q years,
9 months and II days.
According to Mr.. Tillett, who
ought to know, he's been in some
80 years. That long ago, when he
was 10 years old, his father, AL
phonso D. Tillett, was sent to the
Kill Devil Hills station and moved
his family to house nearby. The
beach wasn't built up then as it is
now, so that boy didn't have
many playmates. Besides, the men
at the station fascinated young
Tillett so much that he spent every
minute he could there.
There was never much question
of what his career would be. His
grandfather, Benjamin Tillett, was
in the old lifesaving service and
his father in the Coast Guard some
80 years. Going to Dan Neck Mills
as soon as he was old enough to
enlist in the Coast Guard was the
most natural thing in the world.
He's never regretted that July
II, when he began his official con-
nection with the Coast Guard. In
the nearly % years since that day,
Chief Tillett has had many an ex-
citing adventure and been in some
tight places, when he wasn't sure
that he'd be alive many more min
utes, but through it all, he's been
happy in service of which he is
deeply proud.
One of the most spectacularly
dangerous situations in which he
found himself occurred during
World War II, after he had been
sent to Caffey's Inlet station. A
suspicious light had been reported
off the coast and boat from the
station put out to investigate. AS
they neared, they saw something
sticking up through the blackness
of the night. 1t looked to the men
exactly like a periscope. They
could hear motors and decided that
submarine had surfaced. AS
they were wondering what to do,
the other boat challenged them
anad they knew it was an Ameri-
can patrol. boat. Answering, the
Coast Guardsmen flashed a light
on the side of the patrol boat and
looked up into guns trained on
them, with every man at battle
station. The patrol boats crew
