. fectly acted upon by the rennet and

acid -gastic juice. Large quanti- ties are less perfectly dealt with; big, hard clots form to block the stomach, decompose there and in- duce indigestion, indicated often by scouring or bloating.

1n a matiority of‘ instances the thriftless calf gets too trnuch skim- milk at long intervals and the ‘milk offered is cold or frothy and given from utensils not perfectly steriliz- ed. ‘inordinately hungry or thirsty the calf drinks too fast, sometimes inducing a sposm of the gullet that may end in a convulsion that tre- quently proves fatall. Foamy skins milk may also induce sudden fatal bloating and always is injurious.

‘Contributory causes are in let- ting young calves live in dark. damp. dirty badly-ventilated pens where disease has occurred; al- lowing calves to graze old grass in .t ehadeiletss waterless place where they are tormented with flies. tall- ing i6 provide pure drinking water and salt and early to allow the young calves to eat oats, bran, oil- meal or other nutritious lmeuls, as well as .fine clover, or affalfa. hay.

To get the thrlitless calf to thriving and growing, proper treat- ment may al. least partly offset the errors in management and diet. Give the affected calf a. tablespoon of codliver oil twice daily after it has received a few smaller doses. ‘Increase the dose as necessary. Feed, clean. warm sweet frothless skimmilk oftener and in smaller’ quantities, allowing the calf enough time in which to drink it slowly. Stanchion the call when being fed tmilk.

-'__-<oac-—-- WINTER FEEDING AND CAR OF POULTRV

(Experimental Farms Note.)

Good feed and care are neces- sary in order to procure maximum egg production during the winter months. Stock should be comfort- ably houaed and not over-crowded. Allow about Iuul‘ square feet of floor space per bird, and see that all cracks and openings at the rear and sides of thsvhouse are closed to prevent droughts, other- wise colds are likely to develop which not only retard production. but often cause the loss of birds. A little permananate of potash us- ed in the drinking water (enough to give a deep Willa color) will help to prevent the spreading off catar- rbal colds, but tn more serious cases, birds should be isolatedand treated by washing the eyes. nos- trils and throat with a solution o! baracic acid. _

Cotton used in the open front houses should be kept brushed off. and should be opened up 0n fine days to facilitate ventilation, this will also prevent the accumulation of moisture, which tis more injur- ious to the health of the birds than

cold. Plenty of clean litter should

Commercial ready mixed scratch feed and mashes may be fed if so desired, but slightly greater gains have been obtained at this Station by feeding the home-mixed feed.

Grit, oyster shell and fresh wa- ter should be provided at all times. Green feed. such as cabbage, man- gels, beets, turnips, clover, sprout- ed oats and alfalfa should also be provided daily. The latter W0 may be steamed and fed in the mash, or the leaves may be fed dry in racks or boxes. A dose of Epsom salts at the rate of one pound per hundred birds, given at intervals o two or three weeks. will help to keep the birds healthy and prevent intestinal disorders.

he provided for scratching pur- poses. Lice, which are usually present in certain numbers, should be kept in control. This may be done by dusting the birds with in- sect powder or by smearing the skin around the vent with blue ointment about the size of a pea, Care should be taken not to smear the feathers with this ointment,

if a man ls in the dairying busi- ness at all extensively he should

have two silos. One large one for the winter silage and another to hold the silage intended to supple- ment the pastures. There are sev- eral crops that can be used tor sn- uilage purposes-corn, sweet clov- er, sunflowers and a mixture of oats, peas and vetch, all make good silage crops.

’ if you cannot grow clover satis- factorily it ‘may be because the soil is deficient in lime. it there is dan- ger of this send a sample of it to the Department of Chemistry of the nearest agricultural collage and have it tested for lime. in. many localities there are lime quarries near at hand where lime can be bought fol- small cost. Where soil is known to lack lime, ground lime- stone should be applied once every five or six years at the rate 0t two tons psr acre.

HOW TO PICK GOOD DAIRY COWS

There is always work to be'dona on the farm. but as a rule the win- tar season is the season for reflec- tion and planning. and the summer season is the season for action. Just now farmers have more lei- sure than at any other period and it is a good plan to spend a. consid- erable portion of the time reading bulletins. farm papers, etc.

Capacity for consumption of amounts of coarse food is essential. in the good dairy cow, and the ud- der should evidence working active cells. It is not necessarily the larg- est cow nor the one with the larg- est bread basket that. is the best feeder, nor does it. follow that tbs cow with the largest or most shape- ly udder excels in milk production. Feeding and milking qualities are inherited. and the machinery neces- sary for efficient functioning is of many designs. Conformation alone is not a safe index to internal lunc- tion. The ability to consume food and convert it etllciently intodalry products is an inherited character- istic. Purebred animals aro more likely to possess these qualifica- tions than grade animala, and sure- ly greater ability in perpetuating these characteristics or passing them on to their offspring. Such possessions aa a long slim head, lean nsck, large muzzle, knife-like withers, open vertebra, refined ar- ticulations and cbisled quarters add individuality and establish a pleas- ing conformation. They also indi- cate breeding and quality. Consti- tutional vigor indicated by a large heart girth, capacity indexed by n large barrel, milk capacity suggest- od by extensive development of the circulatory and mamma y system- all these are, of course, major char-

Some soils won't grow a good phosphates. In this case the thing to do is to apply some kind of phos- phate tsrtiiiser. Basic slag applied at the rate of three hundred

purpose nicely.

Farmers can have home-grown vegetables practically all tbs year round if they want to, but many don't because they are so. busy with the field work they neglect to put in a vegetable garden. Possibly most of tho work in attending to the garden once the land is plow- ed and got into shape for planting will fall on the ladies of the house- hold and younger members of the family, but dad can help a. whole lot by getting the garden started. and showing he is not too busy with his own work to isnd a hand occas-
