GIVES ADVICE ON
CARE OF CALF
Importance of Proper Feeding
Emphasized in Govern
ment Leaflet
| Proper feeding and care in keeping
j the quarters clean are absolutely es
| sential in the successful raising of
the dairy calf, according to J. B.
Shepherd, associate dairy husband
man of the United States Department
of Agriculture, in Leaflet No. 20-L
"Care of the Dairy Calf," just issued
•by the department,
j Unclean pens, bedding, feed pails
I and feed cause many small disturb
ances of the calf's stomach and di
gestive system which hinder growth
and development. Proper care exer
cised in keeping the pens clean and
well supplied with dry bedding, in
washing and scalding the pails after
each feeding and in removing dis
carded feed from the feed boxes each
day will aid materially in giving the
calf a good start.
The calf should have whole milk,
preferably from its mother, for the
first two weeks. Skim milk and calf
meal gruel may be used after this
time.
A good meal devised by the bureau
of dairy industry and known as the
Beltsville calf meal consists of 50
parts, by weight, of finely ground
corn, 15 parts linseed meal, 15 parts
finely ground rolled oats, 10 parts
i dry skim milk, and one-half part salt.
: To prepare it for feeding, mix to a
j smooth consistency with an equal
[weight of cold water. Then add 8
pounds of warm or boiling water for
'each pound of dry calf meal used.
Stir thoroughly until well mixed and
allow to stand for several hours.
Warm to 100 degrees Fahrenheit be
fore feeding. Mix only enough at one
time for one or two feedings.
The best results will be obtained
when this gruel is substituted gradu
ally for the whole milk at about the
time when the calf is four weeks old.
The change should be very gradual,
taking about four week.s
Other factors essential to success
in raising the dairy calf during the
first six months of life are discussed
in this leaflet, a copy of which may
be procured by writing to the United
States Department df Agriculture,

A FARM SAWMILL
WILL SOMETIMES PAY
Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 19.—Despite
the waste in operating a sawmill on
the farm, sometimes it is necessary
for the woodlot owner to put in his
own plant to get a market for his
logs and to balance his labor.
"As yet," says R. W. Graeber, ex
tension forester at State College,
"We have few timber markets so de
veloped that a farmer can cut his
logs and deliver them to an estab
lished market such as for cotton or
tobacco. There are some communities
where markets exist for high class
logs but on many farms there are top
logs suitable for cross ties, rough
framing or boards for farm build
ings. Many farmers may find it more
practical to operate their own saw
mills as a means of controlling the
cutting of timber from their wood
lots."
Where such landowners have a
supply of cheap power, such as water
power or surplus energy at their cot
ton gins, a farm sawmill may pay.
Mr. Graeber states that W. T. Brown
of Moore county has a mill operated
by water power and has been cutting
an average of 50,000 board feet of
timber each year for 25 years.
As a usual thing, however, there is
too much waste at the average farm
sawmill. The circular saw, commonly
used at such mills, cuts one-fourth
inch of sawdust each time it passes
through the log, while the band saw
of commercial plants cuts only one
eighth inch. Neither is the farm
sawmill prepared to cut the highest
class logs which requires careful
milling to bring out the quality of
the wood. Nearly all kinds of trees
require extra equipment. This the
average farmer cannot afford to
put in, states Mr. Graeber.
The best solution of the whole
problem is for every county in North
Carolina to have some kind of wood
working center where the grower
may sell his product any day or
every day in the year.

drowning: "Thank you, 'my good
man, I'll remember you in my will."

COUNTY HOME FARM
SELF - SUPPORTING
j One of the best farms in the coun-
Ity is the County Home Farm. Mr. C.
S. Royster, superintendent of the

than fifty people to feed during the
year and raises nearly enough sup
plies for them. Mr. Royster made the
following yields for 1928: 700 bushel
of corn, 364 bushels of sweet pota
toes, 168 gallons of molasses, 165 gal
[ lons of kraut and 230 bushels of
wheat. Mr. Royster has fifteen head
of hogs to kill this winter and is
getting 30 gallons of milk per day
from nine cows.
