SKIM MILK RATION FAVORED
Greatest Gain In Weight Made When
Calf la Fed Large Quantities In
Daily Ration.
How much skim milk should be fed
to calves daily?
Rosults ob'slnpd thn far at the
dairy division eiperiment farm. Belts
yille, Md., Indicate that calves will
make the greatest pains In weight
when fed comparatively large quanti
ties of skim milk daily (one-fifth of
their body weight, pr all they will
drink), but that the most economical
gains are made on smaller quantities.
In an experiment to determine the
effect of feeding various quantities of
skim milk, 16 calves were divided Into
groups of four calves each. These
groups were balanced as nearly as pos
sible with reference to breed and body
weight at birth. One group was given
daily ration of one-seventh of the
body weight, the quantity being regu
lated by body weights taken every ten
days. Two other groups were fed at
the rate of one-sixth and one-fifth of
their body weights; and the fourth
group was given all the milk the calves
would drink, tw ice a day.
Each calf received Its mother's milk
until It was ten days old. The change
to skim milk was then made gradually,
and at the age of fifteen days the calf
was on an entire skim milk ration.
The experiment run for 70 days.
Weights obtained for three consecutive
days, at the end of the 70-day period,
were taken as the final weights. The
average reslults from each group are
given In tabular form : Milk

Group 4 (all they would
drink) 1.4S 24.22 16.1
The groups were well balanced as
regards weight and thrift of the calves.
The gains Increased with the quan
tity of skim milk fed, the calves which
received all they would drink making
gains at least 50 per cent larger than
those receiving milk at the rate of
one-seventh of their body weight To
do this they drank about SO per cent
more milk. As a consequencehe skim
milk required for one pound of gain
was greater with the heavily fed
calves.
No bad results from heavy feeding
were noticed, although all of the calves

P
Heavy Skim Milk Rations, It Has Been
Found, Are Beneficial for Calves.
In group 4, with one exception, drank,
at times, more than 40 pounds of skim
milk t day. This leads us to believe
that overfeeding is not In itself a com
mon cause of scours.
TO PREVENT TAINTED BUTTER
Churn Must Be Kept Sweet and Clean
at All Times Small Brush
Quite Convenient
If proper care is not exercised In
keeping the churn sweet and clean
the butter will be tainted, no matter
how well the milk and cream have
been cared for before churning be
gins. A small brush is a convenient
article to ue about the churn, as It
la somewhat difficult to clean the cor
ners and Joints with a cloth and It Is
these that hold part Me of milk and
cream and make breeding places for
microbes.
BULL OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Because of Extensive Influence on
Herd Animal Should Ba Best
Breeder Can Purchase.
A cow Is the darn of but one calf In
the herd, but a bull is the sire of all
the calves. Because of his extensive
Influence on the herd, the herd bull
should be Jus, as good as the new
breeder can possibly u fi ord to buy. In
fact the price of the tu rd bull should
be of far less conslik'nition than the
price of the cow. The buyer should
not by satisfied with a cheap bull, but
when be pays a good price he should
buy a food bull.
Love fur your ork Is the key to
your success. Learn to love your
cows.
The season of the fly pests, which
make life miserable for stock during
the summer, is on.
If It pa)" to raise calves at all It
pays to feed and cure for them from
the day they are burn.
THESE HUSBANDS
Bv GEORGIA HARRIS.
t& by M.C'.nr NvrpT- Syn.ticat
Mrs. 1! hs surveyed the unllghtod
house lih suspicious eves and tight
ened lip and. upon finding the back
dor Uxkiil, drew forth her latchkey
w ith as nuu'h vengeance as an angry
warrior drawing his sword from Its
scabbard.
"Nine o'clock and no Bobs," she
muttered angrily, as she switched on
the kitchen light. "This Is very
strange " She stopped suddenly and
threw up her hands In dismay.
What a sight greeted her! Pishes
dishes dishes even to her Dresden
china filled the sink. Mrs. Bobs
breathed a wrathful sigh as she sud
denly thought of Bobs' last letter to
her.
"lifting to be a regular house
keeper." he had written, "stay at
home every night . . . never go
out . . . hope you are having a
good time . . ."
"Good time, Indeed!" sniffed Mrs.
Bobs, fairly bristling with Indigna
tion, as she strutted Into the dining
room. Here another stght confronted
her and she looked about the room In
consternation. Newspapers were
strewn everywhere.
So perturbed was her state of mind
that Mrs. Bobs forgot her reason for
coming home. After a moment of re
flection, however, she decided that
things looked very serious, for the all
important fact stood out clearly: She
had returned home unexpectedly and
Bobs was not to be found. Consider
ing that his letters stated very em
phatically that all his evenings were
spent at home'1 things looked very
suspicions.
In spite of this she tried to take an
optimistic view of the situation, as she
sat gingerly on the edge of a dusty
chair. After all. she mused, she had
been foolish to spoil her hard-earned
vacation Just because that horrid Mrs.
Hastings had Insinuated such mean
things. Women could be so catty
when tniking nhont other women's
husbands. Perhaps at this very min
ute Bobs was enjoying a quiet evening
with mother. She darted for the tele
phone with a confident smile.
When mother's surprised voice told
her that Bobs had not been over that
evening, and In the same breath want
ed to know the reason for the unex
pected return to the city, Mrs. Bobs
found a ready excuse In sweetest of
voices, but she hnng up the receiver
with vehemence, as suspicion began
to take root again.
Distrust came to stay as Mrs. Bobs
with anger gleaming In her eyes
turned off the lights and sat In the
shadow of the curtained window to
await the vagabond's return.
As the hall clock dolefully chimed
the hour of one, In Imagination she
arrived at the conclusion of the di
vorce trial.
When at 1:30 there was still no
sign of the truant hushand, Mrs. Bobs
finally dragged herself np the stairs
and opened the bedroom door with a
heavy heart. Mechanically she turned
on the light and looked about the
room with a choking sigh, which was
followed by an outburst of unre
strained weeping. However, when her
eyes rested upon the bed astonish
ment overcame her grief, and she
stared fascinated. Fully dressed, ex
cept for collar and tie, with shoes on
while coverlet 'ay Mr. Bobs peace
fully sleeping.
With a bound she was over to the
bed, kissing the tiny bald spot on his
head again and again.
'What's the row ? hnt s the rowr
he mumbled drowsily, blinking his
eyes In sleepy amazement.
"Oh." she answered lightly, giving
bim a little hug. "I Just got worried
about you, so I decided to come home.
and have been watching for you for
hours. Then I got worried and thought
that' something terrible had happened
an er er accident you know," she
finished lamely and a guilty blush suf
fused her face.
"Just like my own girl," Bobs an
swered, patting her affectionately on
the cheek, his face beaming with
pleasure.
Mrs. Bobs hung her head In shame
for a moment, then suddenly ex
claimed:
"Bnt. honey, you have all your
clothes on !" ,
"Well," Bobs replied, now thorough
ly awake, "I was going to do a little
housework, and thought I'd He down
for a stretch before starting. Guess I
must have fallen asleep."
"Now," she said, very solicitously,
"I am going to make you a bit of

Bol" gazed after her retreating fig
ure. Suddenly he sat upright and
fumbled In his pockets with a per
plexed expression upon his face, as if
trying to remember something, until
finally he found a crumpled note.
With a rueful smile he glanced over
the contents of the note
"We are counting on you," It read,
"for another big time tonight Eight
thirty at the same place and we
won't get home nntll morning. There's
a little still Tra La. The Gang."
Sighing heavily, he picked up an
alarm clock that should have rung at
7:30.
."Can't depend upon you to wake a
fellow up when he's trying to 'catch
up' on a little sleep," he soliloquized,
studying the clock Intently. "I missed
a good party because you weren't on
the Job that time." Bobs turned to
see Mrs. Hobs, her face wreathed In
smiles, standing in the doorway.

It is now possible to pick up a wire

tions within reasonable distance In
this country with the aid of an ordin
ary umbrella, a patent pocketbook and
a telephone.
The umbrella will act as the aerial,
the pocketbook contains a miniature
receiving set, and, of course, the tele
phone must be a hlglvresistance In
strument. It has even been possible. Inventors
of the pocket receiving set say, to use
an ordinary bedstead as an aerial.
You must uot expect with this sim
ple Installation to get In wireless
touch with Paris. Berlin or Moscow,
but If you want the mild excitement
of picking up messages from a borne
station within reasonable distance yon
must follow these "directions:
Take your umbrella with you and
the jKH'ketbook. select a nice lofty po
sition, and having earthed one corner
of the pocketbook say to a water

arm's length. There should also be a
telephone handy, and It w ould be more
convenient to use the headfear worn

Having rigged yourself oat as a hu

do Is to listen. You will be as a rock

It Is claimed for this pocket receiv
