FEEDING CALVES DRY GRAIN Olgsetlve Tract of Young Animals la Small and Giving Small Amounts 0?en Is Favored. In feeding skim milk calves the grain needed to supply the missing fat may be corn, barley, oats^or a mix ture. Occasionally a feeder' has skim milk or alfalfa or clover hay on hand, and to these he adds linseed meal, cottonseed meal or gluten feed. These are all high In protein, and when any one of them la combined with skim myk and alfalfa?both high in protein?an unbalanced ration re sults and scours or other digestive troubles follow. The digestive tract of a calf Is small and frequent feeding of small amount during the first month Is best. Paring the first month it Is better to grind the grains fed. At the qnd of this period either oats or com may be fed ungrouad. Hard grains like kallr and mllo give best results when ground. All grain should be fed dry in a trough. Mixing feeds with milk is not recommended, as calves chew their feed better when fed dry. RING FOR SELF-SUCKING COW HabK le Brought on by Putting Off Milking?There Are Numberless Ways of Prevention. In most cases it pays to try some ,-emedy, tor a cow of this kind la us ually a heavy milker. The habit is brought on by putting off milking. The cow suffers and tries to relieve her self and the habit is formed. Ways of prevention are numberless. A cure after the habit is formed Is almost Impossible. The moet effective remedy is putting two rings in the cow's nose. Ring the cow In the usual way, and In this ring hang another, forming two links of a chain. Some times one ring will stop the habit, but In most cases two are needed. If the cow Is not a good1 milker bet ter sell her to the butcher. MILK AT SEASONABLE HOURS No Time on Farm When Hired Man la Making So Much Money aa When He la Buay Milking. Early milking and late milking In the evening may be all right If a man la overly anxious to make money and do the work himself. But, If hired help has to do It. the owner of thkt particular farm will soon gain the rep utation of being a hard man to-work for. Why not send the man who takes care of tha cows home from the field at Bvn-o'clock in the afternoon, and have the chores done ip seasonable time? There Is no time when a man la making so much money as when be is milking. Then why shouldn't It be done during seasonable hours of the day? I Groom th* Calve*. Tack Dve minutes to tha work of your day and go oyer the calve* with comb and bruah. It will be the b?et Investment ot time yon can make. Improvement of Com.

Don't expect yonr cows to be great* ly benefited by looking at your neigh bor a stlol gM) CONTROL THE PEACH BORERS Thiok, Huvy Coating of Aaphaltum Sarvoa to Exclude Inaocta?Mate rial la Applied Warm. la a bulletin of the California sta tlon E. L. Morrla calls attention to the use of hard aaphaltum, grades "C" and "D," tor ths control of the peach tree borer. This material was applied early In the spring to badly Infested trees from which the borers had bean dug. It was found that a thick, henry coating prevented both the Issuance and the entrance of about tS per cent to M per cent of the insects, the de gree of efficiency depending upon the thoroughness of the application. Aa phaltum doss net penetrate, crack, de teriorate or bind the tree, atnoe it yields to the slightest pressure. Four years of experimenting hare not shown the least Injury. The material is applied warm with a brush from lire Inches below to Are Female BnIIi Placing an Egg In Traa Maw Surface of Ground. lncbea above the ground. It la aaaier to apply two or more coatings than to try to pot on mora at ona time than wtU adhere firmly. The first coating will harden very quickly and the sec ond can ha applied without lose of time. TWo coatings are generally suf ficient unless the bark Is vary rough. But In any case a thick, uniform cov ering is absolutely necessary for the best results. Borers are seldom uniformly distrib uted over an orchard. Small blocks of trees here and there may be badly Infested, and the moat of the orchard, comparatively free from the past. In such cases It is not necessary to treat all of the trees with asphaltum, hut it is necessary to evsmlne them care fully, for la no other way can the true conditions be known. A convenient way to handle the as phaltum is to mount an iron kettle on the running gear of an orchard truck and suspend beneath It a sheet Iron apron as a fire box. Keep hard as phaltum in the kettle all the time, so that the melted asphaltum will not get too hot to carry In small oontalners, and apply directly to the trees. GERMS CAUSE APPLE BLIGHT Only Known Way of Control of Ms ease Is to Cut Out Affected Parts Job Tedious. , ' - Blight of pear and apple trees is caused by a very minute germ which works inside the bark and out of reach of any spray material that may be applied. It Is spread from tree to tree by Insects and gets into the trees through the blossoms. Here It Is de posited by bees and other insects which visit the blossoms, and as con ditions are favorable for the develop ment of the germs, they pass from the blossoms through the stems of the flowers into the twig and then through the rest of the tree. To control blight by cutting out the affected parts is a tedious job, but It la the only way known at this time for controlling It. Whoever will discover a better way than this win be a bene factor of humanity and do a wonder ful work for the upbuilding of fruit growing. ? PROPER SITES FOR ORCHARDS Fact Often Overlooked That Cold Air Battle* to Lower Level*?Front Does Much Damage. It Is a wall recognised fact, though one too often overlooked In selecting site* for orchards,^ that cold air set tle* to the lower levels. For this rea son It is often colder at the lower elevations than It I* at higher points in the same locality. This Is what is meant by "atmospheric drainage." The occurrence of frost fn low places when there is none on elevated areas Is thus explained. For the same res sop nnoflh tipdn are often winterkilled orthelBSaM by-fre*l la the spring In low places when nearby orchards on higher elevations are Injured much lass, or even escape entirely. .L?l Rlpenlng Pears. Pears are best when ripened In doors Instead of on the trees. The time to pick pears Is determined first, by their known seasons of ripening; and. second, by the ease with which thij stem parts from the branch when the fruit Is slightly lifted. Most pears ?re marketed In a green, but mature, r tate. Peach Responds Quickly. Thg peach tree responds more quick ly to good treatment than any other fruit tree.

In the opinion of Eugene Christian, lfr. Christian do scribes Maxim as having been sick only once In his life, and this was due to an indiscretion' in eating. The la venter's health is said to be due Href to parental conditions His father, Isaac Maxim, was a big, robust, hardy Huguenot His mother used common sense Instead of drugs for all family Ills and he was early trained never to touch tobacco and liquor. During his rearing the family table was supplied with substantial, pure food, prepared in an appetising but homely manner. The table was divest ed of condiments, fancy desserts, sweets and confections, which are the things that contribute tremendously to the anemic condition of the pam pered child. Endowed by nature with a won derful body and a big brain, Hod ion Maxim baa aupplemantad than# natural foreaa "by keeping this brain and body clean." Complimented upon theae sensible bablta, be quietly said: "I know eomethlng about chemistry and why should I take Into my body polsone that can do no possible good, but which are sure to reduce the building power of the blood and destroy cell metabolism? Why should I poison the blood that streams through my reins any more than I would poison the pure water with which my food is cooked and which goes upon my table?" j CAPTAIN BOY-ED, TURK Since Capt. Karl Boy-Ed. narai attache of the German embaaay at Washington until President Wilson demanded his recall for Improper ae tlyttlea, became prominent In the pub lic prints, many persona have com mented on his peculiarly un-Teutonlc name.

His mother, however, Is a German and the most popular woman novelist of that coun try. Captain Boy-Bd 1s not only a naval olllcer and a diplomat, but also a la dles' man, an athlete, a club man and a litterateur. The clubs and drawing rooms of Washington and other east ern cities saw much of him before the war broke out, and he was looked on as a quiet and affable society man. But as soon as hostilities began he es tablished himself In New Tork and devoted himself to aggressive^work for his country. Csptsln Boy-Ed was sont to this country by the German government t*i learn everything possible about the national defenses, an<} especially the navy.
