Some plants are already reporting shortage of stock and they will not bo ablo to fill their orders. This, says the department, should encourage all growers to conserve every apple and not allow any to go to waste in the orchards, packing sheds or clcswhere, because there is a good market value in them, and as a food product they should bo saved.

Stockman Who Has DUcate-Free Herd , la Assuming Risk of Introducing K, 4 Plseaie When Newn'mal la Purchated. " ' ' (Dr TL ft. IIULCB and vr. B. KEVEKB.) t During the past flvo years the feed cost of raising n heifer to -two years of ago hns probably been about $00, cxcorj.t' wliprcj cheap pasture wns nvnll nble. The to'tnl cost of rnlslng includes also tho items- of Inbor, -housing nnd miscellaneous expenses. In consider lng'(ho latter Items it is well to men tion ibo fact thnt on the ordinary fnrm tho nddltlonnl labor expense which the raising of a few calves In volves is not Inrge. Tho expense in volved mokes It apparent that unless tho nntmnl Is from nnccstry the fe mnlc8 of which ore capable of pro ducing product that will sell for more than the expense of producing It, the heifer should not be raised. On the other, hand, the stockmnn who hns a dlscnso-free herd Is assuming n risk of Introducing disease when a new ani mal Is purchased. Considerations such ns theso confront every owner of dairy cattle. The Importance of fcidlng the calf regularly cannot be overemphasized. Jersey Calf One Year Old. Tho digestive capacity of the young calf is not suited to receive large qunntltles of milk at a time, but is better adapted for receiving small amounts often. A young calf fed milk three times daily will thrive better than if fed the same total amount In two feeds, providing the milk Is always fed in a uniform condition. A general guide for using wholo milk Is to feed it nt the rate of one pound dally to ench eight pounds of llvo weight, rarely feeding more thnn 12 pounds per dny. The length of the time whole milk should be fed will de pend quite lnrgely on whether, skim milk is available. If skim milk Is to be had, It can bo fed to good advan tage at the rate of nbout 15 pounds dnlly, Instead of 12, to calves of the lnrgcr breeds. The use ot factory skim milk has several disadvantages ns com pared with fresh, farm-sepnrnted milk. If the milk Is pnsteurlzed nt the fac tory, It may be too warm to feed when It reaches the fnrm In the forenoon, nnd nt night It will need warming. In summer there may be times wlien the factory skim milk will sour during the day, ro thnt it Is difficult to keep the milk in a uniform condition for cnlf feeding. In the feeding of cnlves, sud den chnnges either In qunllty or quan tity of feed are to be nvolded If the best uso is to be mnde of the feed. Diseases such as tuberculosis and foot-and-mouth disease may be carried by skim milk unless it id thoroughly pnsteurlzed nt the factory. MAKE BUTTER OF WINDFALLS No Better Way of Utilizing Sound Por tions of Bruised and Wormy Ap ples In Fall. There is no better wny to use good npples nnd the sound portions of wind fall, wormy and bruised apples thun to mnko npplo butter of them. Whllo almost nil varieties of apples will mako good apple butter, those with distinc tive flavor nnd good cooking qunllty nro most satisfactory. DESTROY ALL STRAY CANINES Sheep-Killing Cur Is Trespasser and Low Will Uphold Owner Who Puts Him Out of Way. Sheep should bo protected from dogs nt night by putting them Into tho sheep-bnrn or inclosing them In flno weather by a high barbed-wiro fence. Every sheep owner who discovers n stray dog on his place should not hes itate to All him with buckshot, no is n trespasser nnd tho lnw will not touch n mnn who kills him.
