GEYSER TuDITH BASIN TIMES GERMAN PRISONERS BEHIND THE FRENCH LINES PROPER METHODS OF FEEDING CALVES Calves Fed in Stanchions Cannot Steal Neighbor's Portion—Habit of Suck- ing Each Other's Ears Is Also Avoided. Lack of knowledge of proper meth- ods of feeding calves on the part of many farmers is the cause of heavy louse, asserts 0. E. Reed, professor of dairy husbandry in the Kansas Mate agricultural college. The import- ance of knowing the best practices in feeding cannot be overestimated. \'she proper time for taking the calf from its mother depends upon the eon- diden of the calf and its mother at the time of calving,\ save Professor Reed. \If the calf is strong it may be taken away immediately without being al- lowed to nerse. It is easier to teach the calf to drink from the pall if it is taken from the mother at this hne. \ff the calf is weak at birth, or if the udder of the cow is inflamed or edited, it is a better practice to allow Ii to remain with its mother for sev- eral days. In case are calif is taken front its mother immediately it should feeeive her first milk. The milk at this (line contains it high proportion of protein and ash, which act as a laxa- tive and tonic and are effective in cleaning out t he digestive tract and stimulating the digestive organs. \In some cases it is not safe to feed a calf the milk ream its mother after the first few days. as milk of the cows belonging to the high testing breeds Is often too rich in fat for the young calf, and :should be diluted with skim milk, or else milk from stone other cow should be fed. \The quentity of intik to feed the calf at this time is important. Under natural conditions the calf gets its milk often and in small quantities, and the more closely nature is imitated the greater the success. \The calf of average size should re- ceive about eight pounds of whole milk a day at first. Large calves should be fed more than this amount. The milk may be fed in two feeds—night and morning --or better results may be obtained by feeding three times a day. As the calf grows older the amount should be gratimilly incrensed. The best guide as to the amount which STORE WHEAT CROP ON FARM IS URGED Then Farmer Can Wait Until Market Looks Up—Of Special Benefit This Year. \Ability to store the wheat crop on the farm will be perhaps of greater value to the farmers this year than ever before,\ says Edward C. John- son; dean of extension in the Kansas State agricultural college. \For this there are two principal reasons—first, the shortage of freight l'arb, resulting from the congestion of freight on the Atlantic seaboard, set' - out], the lower price per bushel during the early threshine season. This low- er price necessarily results from in- nbility to get transportation facilities, from the greater risk and hence greaf- er margin taken by elevators to handle grain before It has gene through the sweating process, and from the fact Mot the whole grain trade knows that great quantities of wheat will be mar- keted during July. Aneust and Sep- tember, whatever the price may be.\ EXCELLENT RESULTS WITH GRAIN RATION Mixture of Cornmeal, Wheat Mid- dlings and Tankage Recom- mended for Young Pigs. The Pennsylennla State college nerl- cultural experiment station has eh- tained excellent results with young pigs by feeding a grain mixture of cornmeal. 4 parts; wheat middlings, parts, and tankage. 1 part. The addition of skim milk increases the rate of gnin. If skim milk is fed with this grain mixture, the amount of cornmeal may be increased to six arts. Other mixtures recommended aro cornmeal, 8 parts, and tankage one part, or skim milk three perts and cornmeal one part. If possible. pas- ture crops should be used for growing pigs. For quick growth two to four pound , ' of min per l00 pounds of live weight daily in addition to pasture crops are required. Ducks In Breeding Pen. A breeding pen should have from four to six Pekin ducks to one drake, pr eight to ten Runner ducks. should be fed is the calf's appetite. It should he fed sufficiently, but never overfed, and it is a good practice to keep the calf a little hungry. The ani- mal should take the last milk front the pail with the same relish that it takes the first.\ The time to change the calf from whole milk to skim milk will depend largely upon the development of the calf, poiets out Professor Reed. If it Is strong and well developed, it may be changed to skim milk at the end of the second week. This change should be muinule gruilually by substi- tuting a small quantity of skim milk for whole milk in the daily ration. A week or ten days should be taken for the change. Care should always be taken to have the milk warm mid sweet. Especially Is this important in feeding the seeing calf. As the valf grows older mailer milk will do just as well if it is fed at the same temperature every day. The right temperuture for the milk is !dated heat -1(X) degrees. There Is 110 way by which the dieeetive system of the young - calf can be upset more easily then by feeding eold milk at one meal Until warm milk the next. If there is any doubt about the tem- pereture, a themenneter shapuld be toast. according to Prefesoir Reed. Judging the tempernture if milk by putting the finger Into it is not satis- factory, because milk will feel Warmer on seine days than on others. It Is also important to feed mu ilk sweet be- eause one feed of sour milk may upset the digestive system of the young calf for months. or may (Weil cause (tenth.

Clean. fresh water sleauld be provided nt all times. Many feed- ers assume that the calf does riot Reed water ori account of drinking mile but it will consume a large amount of water even after drinking 15 or 20 pounds of skim milk It day.

That big money is made by the large cattle rancher in NVestern Canada, and also by the small farmer as well, is shown by the undisputable fatcts pre- sented from time to time. A rancher, near Gleichen, Alberta, who com- menced in a small way nine years ago, recently disposed of 1,243 cattle at a total of $101,304.50, and this was only his surplus btoek for the present season. A December shipment of 217 head of ranch steers brought the owner an av- erage of over $80 per head. They were taken straight front the range without any grain feeding and were in excellent condition, to be sold for the Christ - MRS trade. Another shipment of 100 head, averaging $70 each, was made to Seattle. The highest price paid on the Seattle market was for au Allier - taut steer. which weighed 1,700 lbs., and brought the fancy price of 10e per lb., or $170. Six carloads of live stock from ranches 65 miles from Pincher, Al- berta, shipped to Spokane, excited keen competition there on account of their exceptional quality. The price realized was $10.028. Anuerican deal- ers say they must look to Canada for beef supplies. A livestock firm. which has shipped over 2,000 head of beef cattle quake American farmer since the middle of November, reports nu Spleadid recep- tion of Alberta stock in the United States. A carload of choice Alberta steers were sold early in January for ship- nient to the British Columbia coast at $6.70 per 100 lbs. and, later on, a lot from Carstairs brought $6.90—the highest price paid since the spring of 1:115.

NVitit this little flock I dela, 11151 rated just what can be done in the sheep business. This fall I sold fifty fat lambs at $6.50 per head, S325, and 18 of the best ewe lambs, which I kept, I value at $8.00 per head, $114. The wool sold at an av- erage of $2.07 per head, $103.50. This undies the very nice total of $572.50.\ \They ran out nearly every day all winter. The value of hay and oats was small, foul one can make then) very comfortable through the winter with very little expense. For shelter I have a shed, about 125 feet long and 14 feet wide. which I cover with straw. This gives them protection from the cold winds; yet it is always cool enough to be healthy.\ \I intend going in more for sheep this fall, us I believe them to be the most prolitniale stock on the farm.\ Desire of farmers and ranchers to increase their sheep holdings Is Indi- cated by the sale of 2,510 head re- eently at $9.00 each. Iligh wool prices and profitable demand for mut- ton are the reason given for such a figure. Manitoba sheep breeders arranged last year tor the Provincial Depart- ment of Agrieultuie' to betelle their wool output Oa a co-operative basis and obtained most satisfactory results.
